Chapter 447
447: Implanting Demonic Blood
What a shame for sacred knight Blount. He had hoped that his three years of painstaking cultivation would allow him to exact his revenge on Han Shuo and finally clear that grudge. That he would, nonetheless, wind up even more pathetic than the last time was anyone’s guess.
If not for the golden armour and divine energy protecting his body, sacred knight Blount would perhaps not have had to suffer so much pain. After all, any ordinary man who had been trampled by an earth elite zombie would indeed have died instantly, with considerably less pain.
Blount, however, was protected by the armour on his body, in addition to his fighting aura and sacred energy. Therefore, he did not immediately die when the earth elite zombie stomped on him repeatedly, but instead, let out harrowing squeals as he died. With the pain of both his physical body and spirit dejected and shrouding him at the same time, Blount hadn’t even the strength to kill himself.
It was at this moment that the wrinkly old woman rushed towards him in excitement. With fear in Blount’s eyes, Elizabeth pounced on him like a malevolent spirit, her sharp fingers directly piercing into Blount’s neck, exposed and unarmoured.
All the divine energy, which Blount had received in exchange for his devout conviction, gushed from his body like water from a collapsed dam into that of the sinister Elizabeth. Elizabeth, who had earlier been beaten to the bone by Han Shuo, was restored of all energy.
Streaks of green smoke once again slithered in and out of Elizabeth’s seven apertures like slender green snakes. Her green eyes glittered with wicked vigor, and a vicious look adorned her face, like a mentally deranged prison inmate. Her internal organs, which were unlike those of a regular person, ran like a brand new machine at maximum speed, absorbing and breaking down the divine energy from sacred knight Blount’s body, and converting it into a strange energy that she could readily utilize.
While Elizabeth, deranged and thrilled, took in the divine energy, Han Shuo appeared behind Elizabeth without warning. With one thought, his consciousness targeted on Elizabeth’s body, taking a clear glimpse into its every minute movement.
Elizabeth’s body composition was as different as could be compared to that of a regular person. If not for her human appearance, with an aura and body structure like that, Han Shuo would have never considered her human. In addition to the differences in skeletal structure and meridians, there were five fist-sized cyclones in her body. As Elizabeth digested the divine energy from Blount’s body, these five cyclones revolved rapidly. They must play a crucial role in the process.
Thanks to the existence of these five cyclones, Elizabeth could absorb the divine energy in sacred knight Blount’s body. But as for Blount’s painstakingly cultivated fighting aura, the five cyclones had no effect whatsoever. It seemed that the only thing they did was act on the divine power in Blount, which he had apparently obtained through piety to the God of Light.
Perhaps Blount’s powerful soul, after entering the Demonslayer Edge, would act as the main soul, and help the Demonslayer Edge speed up to evolve a ferocious soul.
After Blount’s soul was ingested by the Demonslayer Edge, it again concealed itself in Han Shuo’s body. Soon after, Han Shuo’s attention turned to the armour on Blount’s body, the weapon in his hand, and his space ring. A sacred knight of the Church of Light must have plenty of expensive treasure on him, right? Han Shuo thought.
Without the slightest respect, Han Shuo snatched the armour and golden spear from Blount’s body and placed it in his own space ring. The two pieces of equipment were the works of top-notch alchemists from the Church of Light, and one must have divine energy to use them to their greatest effect. Of course, Han Shuo did not have any allies in the Church of Light, but if he were to sell these items, he would without a doubt receive a good trade.
Blount’s space ring had been forcibly broken into by Han Shuo. Inside were several chunky books from the Church of Light, some loose gold coins, a couple of low-grade weapons, two simple, unadorned magic scrolls, and some thin yellow paper.
When he finished rummaging through Blount’s belongings, and saw the contents of the thin yellow paper, Han Shuo’s expression flipped.
