Chapter 895: Leaving the City of Wraiths
“Hahaha…. “ Portlem laughed out loud, obviously not taking Han Shuo’s threat seriously. “You seem to have forgotten that you are in the City of Wraiths, my territory. No one is going to step up for you!” said Portlem arrogantly.
The House of Batchelder was very influential in the City of Wraiths and Portlem was the favored young master in the House. Given that the House of Han had recently lost their footing in the City of Shadows, Portlem thought that he was invincible. He knew that no one would make a sound if he murdered Han Shuo right there.
“Young Master, let us handle this brassy guy!” said one of the highgods standing beside Portlem after he took a step forward. He cultivated the energy of earth and possessed early-stage highgod strength. He had a Herculean physique and appeared strong.
“Young Master, we can take care of him for you. He wouldn’t be able to escape!” said another highgod who cultivated the energy of wind. The two highgods stood readily on both sides of Portlem. They were ready to charge at Han Shuo at Portlem’s command.
As the most promising young blood of the House of Batchelder, Portlem had a bright future ahead of him. Some of those House of Batchelder highgods had long been treating Portlem as their future patriarch. They would seize every opportunity to win Portlem’s favor.
Han Shuo was between laughter and tears when he saw there were just two early-stage highgods approaching him.
At the time Han Shuo dealt a blow on Portlem, they indeed possessed similar strengths. But now, after so many years had passed, Han Shuo’s strength had soared to the point that he could defeat overgod existences without too much trouble. Two early-stage highgods were no threat at all.
“Portlem, O, Portlem… It seems that you have stayed inside the Death Dominion for too long… So much so that you have lost touch with reality… “ said Han Shuo with a ridiculing smile. Han Shuo had fought Ralph and Aobashi in the City of Shadows and defeated them. Han Shuo thought that Portlem probably had not been paying too much attention to news about him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought just two highgods.
But Han Shuo was wrong. Portlem had heard of that news from the City of Shadows, he just didn’t believe them.
Han Shuo put on a faintly mocking smile as he looked at the flabbergasted Portlem. He shook his head and sighed, “Huhu, how pitiful of you, Portlem. You’d rather believe in a conspiracy and make such a feeble attempt to kill me. Pathetic.”
Portlem had been totally stupefied. He saw two mighty highgod experts slaughtered by Han Shuo just like that. There wasn’t even an actual fight. From start to finish, Han Shuo seemed as though he had barely exerted any strength, as though killing two highgods was as easy as killing two ants. It was evident to Portlem that Han Shuo’s strength was more than a level greater than those highgods. Perhaps only a late-stage highgod expert like his father could do so without breaking a sweat.
“So.. it wasn’t a hoax… “ muttered the ashen Portlem. This so-called ‘prodigy’ of the House of Batchelder suddenly realized just how insignificant he was compared to Han Shuo.
“You know, sometimes in life, you just gotta accept your fate!” The smiling Han Shuo walked to Portlem relaxedly and whacked him with his bare palm.
A tremendous force as though a mountain with the density of a neutron star crushed on Portlem. His neck, spine, and legs went bent to unnatural forms before his body exploded with a bang.
Han Shuo had never been merciful to his enemies. Portlem had sealed his destiny ever since he tried to lay his finger on Phoebe, Emily, and the others. Even if Portlem had not shown up on that day, Han Shuo would have sent someone to get rid of him when Portlem came back to his mind.
Han Shuo understood that if a character like Portlem was to be spared his life, it will only be a matter of time before they harm the House of Han. Although Han Shuo was not afraid of being attacked himself, he did not want any possibility of his family clan members coming under threat.
After collecting Portlem’s divine soul, Han Shuo scanned those House of Batchelder divine guards with his eyes and calmly said, “You should all know who I am. Hehe, tell your patriarch that I’m going to Witherbone City. He can find me there if he wants revenge!”
Those House of Batchelder divine guards immediately pulled a distance from Han Shuo, as though afraid that Han Shuo might kill them.
The city gate ahead of Han Shuo was being hastily opened by the divine guards in charge. They tactfully cleared the path and watched as Han Shuo walked out of the city swaggeringly.
