Great Demon King

GDK 765: Killing Spree

The divine guards that went away from Godswamp Pharmacy turned back around. When they saw Han Shuo and Rose’s figures that were flying away from the tallest structure on Godswamp Pharmacy, they immediately chased after the two.

At the same time, a furious roar sounded from behind them, “The fuck, it’s a false image!”

It was the voice of Salouhucci, the Chief of Sixth Corps. He had been pursuing the demon general with a group of divine guards for a long time. But when he finally caught up to the demon general taking Rose’s appearance, he sensed that something wasn’t quite right with the aura on the demon general. Shortly after the discovery, the demon general vanished into nothingness. It became clear to Salouhucci that they had been going after a false image all this time.

Salouhucci could sense where the now invisible demon general was flying. But at this time, he heard shouts coming from behind him. He knew he must have fallen for a distraction ploy. Therefore, he decided to ignore the escaping demon general and rushed back to Godswamp Pharmacy, pursuing Han Shuo and Rose with a group of divine guards.

“Hassling is dead! Hassling is dead!”

“Master is dead! Master has been murdered!”

Loud, panicked shouts came from the divine guards and workers in Godswamp Pharmacy. The news of Hassling’s death spread all around in no time. All the divine guards nearby quickly received the information.

The divine guards were all shocked by the news. Under heavy fortification and defense, not only that the murderers tried to return to Godswamp Pharmacy, but they also tried to commit murder. Their bold actions were simply a great insult to every divine guard of Hushveil City. It was as though the murderers were trying to make a point that the divine guards were all useless.

And the worst and most unbearable of all, the murderers had succeeded!

The seventeen flying swords were like a glistening juicing machine, extracting the lives of those divine guards blocking Han Shuo’s way. Within a short few moments, around thirty divine guards with lowgod and midgod strengths were liquefied. Naturally, Cauldron Spirit would take advantage of the opportunity to improve its strength. It flew out from Han Shuo’s body to absorb the divine souls.

Han Shuo wore a calm face. Strange lights flashed across his eyes where the reflection of the seventeen flying swords could be seen.

With the seventeen flying swords paving the way, the divine guards in Han Shuo’s way would be dead before they could reach Han Shuo. This made it impossible for the divine guards to encircle the two. Han Shuo and Rose easily broke through the blockades formed by the divine guards. They were not tarried by the divine guards even for a moment.

Han Shuo and Rose would leave behind a trail of melting bodies wherever they passed. The divine guards around the duo who watched Han Shuo ruthlessly murder anyone and everyone who was in their path started to feel hesitation. A group of divine guards who were in Han Shuo’s way, intimidated and frightened, made way for him.

The seventeen flying swords would not waste time on butchering those divine guards who gave way and streak past them as though seventeen beams of light. Right after the seventeen flying swords passed, Han Shuo and Rose’s figures would whoosh past them, breaking out from the group’s encirclement.

With the first batch of divine guards setting an example, others followed. More and more divine guards, especially those who witnessed how brutally their comrades died, moved out from Han Shuo’s way and let them escape from the layers of encirclement.

Cauldron Spirit turned into a murky shadow that travels right behind the seventeen flying swords, fully focused on collecting the divine souls perished under the flying swords. It would also release a few demon generals from time to time to help out. As there wasn’t a single highgod in their path, they were able to move without impediment. They managed to leave the Godswamp Pharmacy block.

But soon after, they left the block, the Chief of Second Corps hurried over. As soon as he saw the murderous Han Shuo, he charged towards him and shouted in a chilling voice, “Let’s see where you could run now!”

Seeing that a mid-stage highgod with a company of divine guards were charging at him while more divine guards were converging towards him from many directions, Han Shuo abruptly changed his path and moved in another direction to avoid the Chief of Second Corps.

Even if Han Shuo activated Ceaseless Pain to the maximum, it was still not possible for Han Shuo to kill a mid-stage highgod in a split second. Han Shuo was in a situation where every second mattered. If Han Shuo was to waste a few seconds on them, the Chief of Sixth Corps would be able to reach him and the other Chiefs will be moments from catching up. In that case, Han Shuo will be surrounded by a crowd of powerful experts and escape will be tremendously difficult.

Therefore, Han Shuo decided not to be tarried by the Chief. He straightforwardly avoided him and charged at a weaker wing of the encirclement.

Several divine guards, unable to react in time, were pierced by the loudly whistling seventeen flying swords. Their bodies that will soon liquefy were flung high into the air in every direction.

The divine guards in Han Shuo’s path instinctively moved aside after witnessing the terrifying lethality of the flying swords. The Chief of Second Corps who noticed their reaction immediately shouted, “You are not allowed to retreat! Stand in their way even in your death!”

Those divine guards who originally wanted to move aside, after hearing the command, decided to activate all the divine energy in their bodies. Through the divine weapons in their hands, they launched a wave of ranged attacks – not at the seventeen flying swords, but Han Shuo and Rose charging towards them.

Ever since Han Shuo and Rose started escaping from Godswamp Pharmacy, as they had been moving at extreme speed and they had not stopped moving for even a moment, the divine guards pulled behind by the two had not launched any ranged attack at the two. Even if they did, it would be ineffective.

After Han Shuo took out the seventeen flying swords, those divine guards standing in Han Shuo’s path would have a chance in attacking Han Shuo but they were so intimidated by the destructive power of the flying swords that the only thought that crossed their minds was to save themselves. They forgot to attack Han Shuo who was controlling the flying swords.

However, after hearing the Second Corps Chief’s shout, those divine guards from the Second Corps cast away their fear of death and decided to sacrifice their lives. They released all the divine energy they had though their divine weapons. The ranged attacks went around the seventeen flying swords and shot at Han Shuo and Rose.

Just as expected, the seventeen flying swords landed on the divine guards. They stood no chance against the flying swords and were totally shredded. But at the same time, the attacks they made before their deaths were just as unavoidable for Han Shuo and Rose. They two had no choice but to slow down for a moment to defend against the attacks.

Although the few divine guards only had midgod strengths, their all-out attacks were substantial and powerful. Although Han Shuo and Rose were able to neutralize all their attacks, the two were delayed for a few seconds. During that brief moment, several hundred divine guards surrounded Han Shuo and Rose.

Once Han Shuo and Rose stopped moving, the divine guards were able to lock their ranged attacks on the two. In an instant, several hundred bursts of brilliant lights and oddly-shaped divine weapons bombarded at Han Shuo and Rose. The seventeen flying swords that were meant for killing had to return to Han Shuo’s side to defend him from all sorts of attacks.

Rose’s hair danced wildly. She rapidly released her darkness divine energy to put up layers upon layers of boundaries to defend against the divine guards’ attacks.

This was the situation that Han Shuo feared most. No matter how powerful he and Rose were, it would be extremely difficult to face against the attacks of several hundred divine guards, especially when one of them was the Chief of Second Corps. Meanwhile, the Chiefs from other Corps and more divine guards were on their way there. If the trend continued, it was only a matter of time before they are both dead.

Han Shuo immediately realized that if they do not break from the encirclement soon, once the other Divine Guard Chiefs arrive, their fate of meeting death would be sealed.

However, even in the worst situation possible, Han Shuo remained composed and calm. He wore an undisturbed face as he maneuvered the seventeen flying swords, neutralizing all the attacks coming at him using Ceaseless Pain. His rapidly turned over in his mind for a way to break free from the encirclement.

Rose who was beside him seemed more and more strained. Gradually, a feeling of despair rose in her heart. Being surrounded by so many divine guards and seeing that many more were on their way, Rose thought that she will lose her life in Hushveil City.

<i>Bang!</i> The barrier of darkness deployed by Rose was destroyed by the Chief of Second Corps. Several bursts of midgod divine energies managed to land on Rose and caused her to sway slightly. The Chief of Second Corps, upon seeing that Rose was weaker than Han Shuo, smirked and focused his attacks on Rose.

Han Shuo’s expression transformed. He calmly instructed Cauldron Spirit, “Release all the demon generals. I want the entire Hushveil City to burn!”
