Chapter 809 - Han Tu
Near the West of Ethereal City, a rather peculiar fight was happening. Three midgods that cultivated in the energy of earth stood with their backs sticking closely with each other. Their brows were bunched and they were looking all around vigilantly, ready to handle any sudden attacks.
Then, the ground between the three slowly sunk without them noticing. A pair of hands stealthily came out from the hole and tickled one of those feet.
The person who got tickled was startled. He immediately swung the huge hammer in his hand at the ground. His other two partners only stared blankly for a moment before they reacted. They immediately shouted, “Kill him!” and sent a burst of earth energy towards those sneaky hands.
The pair of hands that appeared from the ground suddenly crystallized while the element of earth wildly converged in its palms and formed a thick layer of armor. One of those hands swept forward and blocked the enormous hammer while the other swatted on one of the attackers’ soles.
“Arghh!!” A miserable shriek sounded. The person felt as though all of the earth’s energy were concentrated on his foot. His bones made a few cracks before that foot of his shattered and started spurting blood.
“Don’t step on the ground!” One of them shouted. Their earth divine energy had shot into the ground. However, when their attacks landed, the earth that they knew so well suddenly seemed all so unfamiliar to them. It was as though layers of barriers had deflected their divine energy. They realized that their attacks were, yet again, ineffective.
A shiny broadsword filled with divine energy was suddenly thrust at the region where the two hands appeared. Ting! The broadsword which should have pierced into the ground like a hot knife through butter bounced off as a burst of sparks came out from its tip.
Evidently, this attack had also caused no harm to the sneaky attacker.
The gods living in Ethereal City surrounded the area and watched the fight from a distance. They seemed very curious and would discuss the fight in low voices.
The highgod that led the squad was short and brawny. He had dry, yellowish skin. As soon as he arrived, he glowered at the three hovering in midair and shouted, “Get back on the ground!”
The three midgods cowered. Following the angry shout, they immediately landed on the ground. The midgod who lost a leg sullenly reported, “Lord Verón, Han Tu should be right underground!”
“Do you really need to remind me that?” replied the highgod named Verón in an annoyed manner. He looked all around with his eyes that were glinted ferocious rays and coldly shouted, “Have you folks seen enough yet? Get lost!”
Verón had highgod strength while the onlooking gods were mostly of lowgod and midgod strengths. After hearing Verón’s shout, the crowd started dispersing. Although they wished to see more actions, they were too intimidated to stay and watch.
“Han Tu, I know you are underground. Don’t think that you can escape us just because you have come to the Space Dominion! I’ll tell you this – we will get to you no matter where you run!” after the crowd dispersed, Verón lowered his head and coldly shouted at the ground.
Suddenly, large spikes shot out from the ground. That midgod who lost a leg was hit. A large spike struck right his crotch. A miserable loud shriek sounded as the pain swarm to his brain.
The divine guards did not expect to be attacked in Verón’s presence. Having been caught off guard, three of the divine guards were struck. Some had their foot pierced while some received injuries on their legs. They hastily flew back to the sky before cursing at the ground while grimacing in pain.
Verón was enraged. He sent a burst of divine energy towards the earth and cried, “Han Tu, show yourself if you have the guts!”
A deafening explosion sounded from trembling ground. As Verón was a highgod, the power contained in his attack was nothing ordinary.
Several hundred meters from the gang, earth elite zombie emerged from the ground. He said to Verón, “Fucker, stay here if you have the guts! My father will be here soon and he will beat the shit out of you!” Earth Elite Zombie had not changed in appearance even after decades and he still had that naive look. But one thing had changed – his eyes were glinting with energy and intelligence. He had even learned to use vulgarities and behave arrogantly. It was almost half as good as Han Shuo could do.
Verón stared blankly for a moment, as though he did not expect that Earth Elite Zombie would have a father. He took a quick glance at his crying and screaming divine guards before he replied, “Your father? I’m not going anywhere even if your grandpa comes. Let’s see if he can even touch me!”
