Chapter 217: A bloody explosion
“Knights of Light, kill them immediately! This person and dark creature cannot be permitted to stay in this world!” Ferguson’s expression was grim as he called out lowly.
The group of knights who’d just surrounded Han Shuo and were about to take him alive were rather surprised by this sudden change of heart. However, they only paused for a second, still intending on executing Ferguson’s orders.
Up on the cliff, Edwin didn’t waste time hesitating, and shot down towards Han Shuo with Belinda. He planned on saving Han Shuo, whatever the cost, and get to the bottom of why that dark creature was unafraid of light magic.
At the same time, Han Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and swept a cold glance around his surroundings, revealing a bizarre smile.
He chanted out a simple necromancy magic, and the little skeleton who’d stayed by his side all this time, vanished without a trace as a beam of black light broke through the skies.
“Farewell, everyone!” Han Shuo smiled after the little skeleton had disappeared.
The blood red light that had been circling around Han Shuo suddenly shot to the heavens after his words, and an enormous explosion rang out.
Increasingly loud explosions, with Han Shuo’s location as the epicenter, began to shake the ground and skies. The entire valley trembled, and the knights closest to the center were blasted to shreds, blood and flesh flying out like shrapnel.
Edwin and Belinda had been descending rapidly when they saw the sudden explosion from below, accompanied by the ear numbing explosions. Waves of evil, blood red light blasted towards their location in the sky, shocking the two of them.
However, most cultivators wouldn’t use this method that would consume a lot of blood essence if they didn’t have to. That was because once this was cast, the cultivator would exhaust a great deal of energy due to consuming blood essence and would find themselves in a disadvantageous situation.
However, this hadn’t been the case with his casting this time. Having reached the bloodlust realm, Han Shuo’s body had naturally produced a violent killing aura after engaging in the massacre in the mountain valley. The aura had naturally attracted the fear and resentment from the mercenaries he’d killed and concentrated it in his body.
The stronger this power became, the harder it became to control. This impending lack of control was what had caused Han Shuo to immediately prioritize his mind’s recovery, even in the middle of the battlefield. After suddenly awaking in the middle of recovery, he’d immediately understood that he was surrounded by a group of experts.
At the moment, the violent aura around him was still disorderly and hard to control. He suddenly recalled the “Blood Explosion Shield” in this moment of danger and a thought struck him. He turned this aura into energy and used the energy he’d absorbed as a foundation to cast this art.
In this way, not only had he created a commotion that had shaken the heavens and earth, brutally killing some knights who hadn’t had time to react, Han Shuo had also left unhurriedly from the encirclement of the various knights. At the same time, he’d been able to release a power out of his control, and he hadn’t harmed himself at all.
When he had again returned to the Valley of Sunshine, Han Shuo felt that his body had once again been miraculously tempered in the slaughter of the Rainbow Sickle mercenaries. Perhaps it was because he’d cast the “Blood Explosion Shield” and consumed the random, disorderly power, but there was a tiny bit of pure power left at the very end that had miraculously been absorbed by the magical yuan.
“It looks like adventuring is needed in order to pick up the pace of improvement!” Han Shuo couldn’t help but murmur to himself when he felt the changes in his body thanks to the fight against the knights earlier.
The metallic sound of battle caused Han Shuo to pay close attention to his surroundings. Coming to a halt in midair, he began to carefully investigate the situation around him.
Having fully developed his brain due to magical cultivation, Han Shuo was quite familiar with the layout of the nearby terrain as he’d committed the entire map to memory. When he listened carefully, he quickly realized where the sounds were coming from, and where he currently was as well.
The clashes were coming from the House of Menlo. This matter might even have something to do with Trunks and the others.
“I should go take a look at the strength of my unknown troops.” Han Shuo murmured to himself and changed his flight path, making for the House of Menlo’s territory.
