GDK 782: Nobody will speak a word of it
Han Shuo and Rose coldly observed the battle while standing in their escape routes. Han Shuo also placed several demon generals in concealed spots. If the two were to utilize special methods to escape, the demon generals would swarm at them and cease their actions. Han Shuo and Rose also deployed multiple barriers as they observed the battle.
The two highgod assassins revealed desperation in their eyes. They knew that they will not escape death and so they tried to cause the greatest harm with their deaths. They used all the remaining energy in their bodies to push forward and get close to the divine guards as though they were planning to severely injure the divine guards.
The divine guards, knowing that the two assassins were highgods, dared not be in close proximity to them. The divine guards would immediately launch ranged attacks at the two to push them back when they tried to close the distance. The assassins’ patience and divine energy were being worn down. Over time, under the bombardment of almost a hundred divine guards, the two highgods were close to exhausting their divine energy.
Other than Han Shuo and Rose, Bollands too did not participate in the fight. He was guiding the divine guards on how to most effectively besiege a powerful expert as a team. The divine guards who had practiced the art of fighting as a team in the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation launched densely gathered attacks that does not miss a single spot of the highgods’ defenses, exerting the maximum amount of pressure on the two highgods.
For the two highgods, that was the most humiliating moment they had ever experienced in their whole lives. They had tried to assemble their energy to escape at the cost of severely injuring themselves or causing their realms to regress. But every time they attempted so, it would be disrupted and ceased by the demon generals. After repeating the process several times, the two finally realized that their deaths were certain.
With Han Shuo and Rose deploying barriers, the two assassins could not even get close enough to the divine guards and injure them through self-implosion. Two proud highgods were reduced into puny living targets for Han Shuo’s little combat training exercise. With all hope for survival lost, the two assassins finally could not bear the humiliation any longer.
The two assassins dropped every defense and allowed the divine energy and divine weapons of the divine guards to land on their bodies. The energies and weapons wrecked their bodies that were nearly exhausted of divine energies without much resistance. They collapsed into a pool of blood and perished.
Cauldron Spirit quickly flew out and happily collected the two divine souls. As the number of demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon increased, as more high-quality souls were added to the collection, the Cauldron became more powerful. Han Shuo could sense it clearly every time he borrowed Cauldron Spirit’s energy.
To Han Shuo, the Cauldron becoming stronger is tantamount to him getting more powerful. Therefore, Han Shuo would always do his best to help Cauldron Spirit collect as many divine souls as possible.
Moments ago, when fighting off the assassins, Han Shuo had left a drop of his blood essence on the shortie’s armor. Han Shuo had a miraculous connection with his blood essences. Even though the shortie had managed rip a tunnel to another dimension using a miraculous space edict divine weapon and escaped, as the shortie carried a drop of Han Shuo’s blood essence with him, Han Shuo could get a rough approximation of his location when he completely focused his mind to sense it.
Han Shuo could sense that the two escaped assassins were extremely far away and were still moving away at high speed. Han Shuo did not pursue them because he reckoned that he might not be able to overtake the two even if he went after them with all his strength. But more importantly, he had a responsibility to keep his company of divine guards safe. He was worried that the divine guards might run into another danger and couldn’t handle it by themselves.
Therefore, Han Shuo stayed with his divine guards and sent the most demon general he had, a spirit demon, to probe the situation for him. He wasn’t hoping that the spirit demon could harm the two assassins but he wanted the spirit demon to reveal the identities of this anonymous enemy of his. Once Han Shuo knew who he was up against, he would have a general idea of how to get ready for them or even eliminate the threat when the opportunity comes.
To the spirit demon that had pushed its speed to the maximum, time seemed to have slowed down. Its immaterial body made minute and faint waves in the atmosphere as it streaked through the sky and towards the region Han Shuo instructed.
About half an hour later, Han Shuo gave a command with his consciousness and the ultra-fast moving spirit demon slowed down. It started approaching the region ahead cautiously.
Han Shuo saw two figures that were flying at high speed. One of the figures was short and small and wore gloves dotted with starlight speckles. Without thinking, Han Shuo knew that they were the two assassins who escaped. The two were rushing ahead and had absolutely no clue that an invisible pair of eyes was following and watching them from some distance behind.
The spirit demon followed them for around ten minutes before the two assassins suddenly slowed down. They suddenly swerved and stopped before a cave mouth covered with crushed stones and branches of leaves. The shortie made a light cough.
Several dark figures slowed appeared from the cave. As they walked out of the cave, their faces grew clearer. One of them was Dolores who had disappeared for a long time. He put on an elated expression after exiting the cave and asked, “Patriarch, is it a success?”
The assassins finally removed their masks. The taller one was revealed to the Felder, the patriarch of the House of Lavers. He wore a gloomy face as he replied, “We failed. We are the only survivors.” Felder then turned to Lakrisen who had also removed his mask and said in a heavy voice, “Lord Lakrisen, I’m sorry for losing three capable helpers of yours.”
Lakrisen was wearing a bitter and resentful face. He coldly said, “Three highgods have perished. How am I going to justify the losses to my elder brother?!”
Lakrisen at this moment was as though a volcano on the brink of eruption. Felder did not know how to answer him. He merely let out a helpless sigh and kept silent.
Lakrisen gave a glance at Felder with cold eyes before he let out a cold groan and said, “We will return to the City of Gorging Clouds and settle things there!” and immediately departed. Felder let out another soft sigh before taking Dolores and the others to follow behind Lakrisen.
