Chapter 366
366: How do you want to play?
“Since you’ve already come all this way… Don’t even think about leaving!” Han Shuo’s face split into an evil grin as he executed the “Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts” with his Demonslayer Edge, letting the sky be segmented by a bloody red light.
The Demonslayer Edge produced sharp, bloody lights one after the other. Together, they became a mass of bloody red light that swept towards the seemingly young dark elf, Sikong. As Sikong saw this whirling mass of bloody light releasing a deadly, terrifyingly baleful aura that seemed sharper than a honed blade, he began retreating even faster.
The “Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts” closely and relentlessly pursued Sikong like a parasitic apparition. Along the way, it came to the not so spaciously drilled underground passageway from which Sikong had entered. An enormous hail-like downfall of broken rocks fell as the “Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts” tore through the tunnel, forcefully broadening the underground passageway by a fold.
As the couple of dark elves entered, they saw a mass of red blade-like lights closely pursuing Sikong. One of them yelled, “Protect the elder!”
A few truly young dark elves bravely stood in front of Sikong without thinking about their own safety. Torn and crushed by the bloody light, their remaining pieces of their minced bodies were scattered among the rocks below.
After experiencing the bloody light’s powers, Sikong was truly frightened out of his wits as he began to run at a breakneck pace. The crystal ball that had been grasped in his hands all along began glowing a misty blue, using a bit of the evil goddess’s power bestowed within. The light from the crystal ball began rapidly weaving a protective screen as thin as a cicada’s wing as it wove through the air like a snake.
The bloody light bombarded the top of the protective screen. The intricate linking of thousands of strands of light gave the faintly radiating blue a powerful defense and began rapidly shredding the multiple bloody red lights. As the protective screen that was as thin as a cicada’s wing shattered with a loud bang, Sikong had long since seized the chance to tumble out of the cave, albeit frightened and his back damp from cold sweat long ago.
Sikong had obviously realized that although he had already lived for a couple hundreds of years, he really wasn’t a match for the Han Shuo inside. As one’s age increased, one’s fear of death also increased, and Sikong was no exception to that. The moment he experienced Han Shuo’s power, he immediately threw away the thought of fighting Han Shuo to the death. Instead, he began retreating even faster than before, directly fleeing until he was in front of a purple veil tent.
“Matriarch, forgive my incompetence, but there is a young necromancer inside with an incredibly powerful ability. Not only could I not capture him, but I was even forced to retreat back here!” Sikong’s nerves were frayed as he trembled when reporting to Adele within the purple veil tent.
“Who knows?” Han Shuo calmly said while the corner of his mouth evoked a pondering smile as he looked at Adele and said, “Do you want to test me?”
“It’s only natural that I would want to test you. After all, you were able to force Sikong to withdraw. This clearly indicates that you’re definitely out of the ordinary. Only, young man, how young are you? I believe, considering your human age, no matter how strong you, you still must have a limit. I also don’t believe you can obstruct our march to conquer the underground world.” Adele tactfully smiled, brimming with confidence.
Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo said, “Then we have nothing to chat about. How do you want to play? No matter what kind of method you want to use, I’m willing to accompany you. Hehe, if it’s body-on-body combat, I would welcome it even more, haha!”
Even if the lizardmen leader’s people as well as countless undead creatures were behind him, Han Shuo was not completely assured of victory facing this Adele. After all, just Adele’s personal strength was enough to keep him busy, and the couple of pretty, handsome, and obedient dark elves who had lived for so long also had strength that couldn’t be belittled. Additionally, they had even brought approximately ten thousand dark elf experts.
However, Han Shuo did not believe that Adele would fight him to the death to defeat the lizardmen people. Thus, he had no fear as he threatened Adele, even going as far as leering at her.
