Chapter 781 - Have fun with these highgods
GDK 781: Have fun with these highgods
The divine guards that rushed to the scene were awed by the valiant strength Han Shuo displayed. They were so dumbfounded that they momentarily forget to aid Han Shuo. Only Rose charged forward at the assassins after taking one look at the situation. She fought one of the assassins with the demon generals.
“Stop watching and kill these despicable attackers!” shouted Bollands coldly. The longsword that Han Shuo refined for Bollands shot out in a shifting and unpredictable trajectory.
The flabbergasted divine guards were roused from their dazes by Bollands’ loud shout. In the next instance, all kinds of energies were launched towards the remaining three assassins. The region started bursting with bright, glorious rays. Divine weapons and divine energies filled the sky and bombarded the attackers who were already occupied with attacks from demon generals.
The divine guards were aware that the masked assassins were all of highgod strengths. They dared not fight the assassins hand-to-hand but kept a distance from them and launched ranged attacks. Individually, the divine guards were no match against the assassins. But when several dozens of them jointly attacked an assassin, their combined power was more than enough to keep the assassin at bay.
Things had not developed as the assassins had planned. By now, the assassins had not only failed to slaughter Han Shuo, but they also found themselves surrounded by enemies. Instead of Han Shuo, it was they who were in grave danger. With Han Shuo, Rose, nearly a hundred divine guards, and the dark swarm of demon generals fighting the assassins together, even though they were five highgods, they were starting to collapse.
The divine energy that came from the divine guards was limited in might. It was not enough to severely injure the highgod assassins rapidly. However, the concentrated attacks were enough to make them more and more panic. Whenever they revealed an opening in their defense, the dense mass of demon generals would pour into it and harass them. The bizarre energy of the demon generals was incredibly tormenting to the assassins.
“Hehe, wanna kill me? It ain’t gonna be that easy!” with his divine guards and Rose intervening, the pressure on Han Shuo was greatly reduced. While he maneuvered the seventeen flying swords to attack the short assassin with the greatest strength, he watched the five with cold eyes and mocked them.
The five were wearing masks and Han Shuo had no idea who they were. Han Shuo was trying to make them talk in the hope that they will reveal something about their identities.
The five assassins seemed to be aware of Han Shuo’s intention and none of them answered him. Besides, all five of them were rather flustered and occupied with defending themselves. They had no time to talk nonsense with Han Shuo. Needless to say, the five assassins must be racking their heads on how to escape the encirclement.
The shortie moved through the distorted field like a fish and miraculously arrived beside the assassin fighting Rose. A magnificent screen of light abruptly enveloped the region. Han Shuo suddenly shrieked, “Rose, retreat!”
Rose was shocked and immediately flew away from the screen of light as though running away from a great danger.
The screen made of light quickly diminished and vanished. The two assassins inside the screen of light had also miraculously disappeared. Then, another intense undulation came from the region. A bizarre scroll appeared out of nowhere. Right when Han Shuo caught sight of the scroll, it violently exploded.
“Nooo!” shouted the two remaining assassins in a terrified and despaired voice. It was at that moment that the two assassins who had spoken not a single word all along realized that they had been abandoned by their short leader.
Against Han Shuo, Rose, and nearly a hundred divine guards, these two assassins knew that the odds were heavily stacked against them. They realized that they will soon perish and they couldn’t help themselves but yell. They could not be more despaired and agonized.
Han Shuo gestured with his hand, signaling his divine guards to pause their attacks. As he stepped towards the two assassins, he put on a gentle smile and said, “Identify yourselves and state your motive. Then I might consider letting you live,”
The two assassins turned to look at each other. Their eyes under the masks were filled with despair. After exchanging glances, the two suddenly sprang forward, attempting to break the encirclement. It appeared that they were either not convinced with Han Shuo’s words or had no intention of compromising.
Han Shuo again gestured and smilingly said, “Kill them. They are two highgods. Have fun!”
The divine guards suddenly became excited again. With Han Shuo and Rose around them, the divine guards were not worried about their safety and knew that the assassins had no means of escaping. Killing highgods would significantly increase the divine guards’ confidence and morale. The divine guards were excited to do so. They put on sinister grins as they started bombarding the two highgods with ranged attacks.
