Great Demon King

It was after the iced arrow struck Han Huo that the shooter gradually revealed himself from a dark corner. He was thin and tall. He stood silently as he gazed at the injured Han Huo with his ice-cold and merciless eyes.

The attacker’s face was as flat a plank, where the outlines of his mouth and nose could not be seen. He was either incredibly ugly or he had disguised his facial features, as it did not appear normal.

“Fuck!” It took a while before Han Huo recovered from the attack. Han Tu had stopped attacking the other enemies and started pulling Han Huo down under to the safety of the underground.

The water energy cultivator that abruptly showed up possessed early-stage highgod strength. Han Tu knew the gap in strength between midgods and highgods and therefore did not fight him. He immediately knew that it was time to flee.

“That woman is still up there!” If it was any other midgods who suffered the attack, their divine body would have been shut down. Even if it doesn’t kill them, they would be frozen still. But Han Huo was rather unique. As the Fire Lotus that covered his body was a treasure naturally formed in the Place of Extreme Fire over hundreds of thousands of years, over half of the assaulting frigid divine energy was counteracted. Han Huo only needed to rest for a moment before his body resumed to normal.

“We will wait for her,” replied Han Tu as he completely pulled Han Huo into the earth. The two vanished from the raiders’ sight.

Then, while the raiders were loudly cursing as they looked for Han Tu and Han Huo, the duo stealthily popped their heads out in another region and shouted at Rose who was battling in midair, “Oi, woman, let’s go! Stop dawdling with them!”

Rose was distracted by their shouts. The balance was tipped and the highgod of lightning gained the upper hand. Several snake-like thunderbolts crawled to Rose and bit her. It made her long-hair stand up straight.

The energy of thunder cultivator was in the same realm as Rose and slightly stronger than her. He had taken not just the high ground, but he also filled the space underneath Rose with meandering electric-dragons, making it impossible for Rose to descend to the ground.

An enormous explosion sounded. The earth-wall remained intact but Han Tu and Han Huo were sent flying away.

The earth-wall was sustained by both of them and the counteracting force of the earth-wall was directly connected to the duo. The all-out attack of the highgod proved to be too much for the two. The enormous force that entered their bodies sent them flying out from the back of the earth-wall.

“Run!” Rose knew that Han Tu and Han Huo stayed there for her. She couldn’t help herself but shouted when she saw that the two were in great danger.

By now, the shop workers and pharmacist realized that something wasn’t right. They came out from their rooms and gazed at the warehouse anxiously.

Although it wasn’t unusual to hear battling noises at night, it would always end within a short time. The screams and shouts would be coming from strangers. But on that night, they noticed that the battling noises were unusually long and loud. They even heard Rose scream twice. Knowing that things were going south, they stopped what they were doing and gazed at the battlefield.

These shop workers and pharmacists had mediocre strengths. Besides, seeing that highgods were involved, they knew that there was nothing they could do to help. All that they could do was watch the battle anxiously.

Han Tu and Han Huo tumbled and rolled uncontrollably. They were sent flying quite some distance apart. This meant that after touching the ground, Han Tu could not immediately get Han Huo under the earth’s protection. The highgod of water seemed to realize this and therefore, instead of attacking Han Tu who could disappear underground in an instant, he went after Han Huo.

The force that entered Han Huo sent him into a daze and he had yet to come to his senses. He was still falling dizzily from the air. As soon as Han Tu touched the ground, he became conscious and immediately realized what was happening. He shouted, “Little Fire! Run! Run!”

<i>Thud Thud</i> Han Huo too had landed. He too had regained consciousness upon crashing onto the ground. He saw that the highgod of water was a short distance away and Han Tu was very far away. As Han Huo could not submerge underground like Han Tu could, there was no way for him to avoid the highgod’s attack.

Han Huo realized that he was in a terribly dire situation!

“Run! Run!!” shouted Han Tu as he ran towards Han Huo as fast as he could. Although he knew that Han Huo won’t make it, he kept screaming at Han Huo to run because he was overwhelmed with fear!

“Darn it! I’ll get you! Even if I die my father will avenge me!” When Han Huo saw that he could not run, he decided he might as well put up a fight. He gathered all his anger and rage and valiantly charged at the highgod.

“Well then, die!” shouted the highgod raider in a disdained smirk.
