Han Shuo immediately focused all of his attention as soon as he left the rear courtyard. Although he was carrying Lisa, Han Shuo's speed was still as fast as lightning. He flew at full speed as soon as he landed on the small path behind him.
It was noon at this time, but there weren't many people on the streets even in broad daylight in such a cold winter. Add to that the fact that Valen City had been on high alert for the past two days, and the residents had mostly hidden themselves in their homes and refrained from going out, Han Shuo's figure was a bit of an eyesore as he dashed through the streets.
Two Gryphon Riders were on patrol in the sky, whistling through the air when they spotted Han Shuo's figure. The Gryphons screeched and the two Gryphon Riders flew in Han Shuo's direction with three meter long javelins.
"There are Gryphons in the sky!" Lisa, who was in Han Shuo's arms, had her face flushed red from the cold. When she raised her head to look at the sky, she discovered that the two Gryphon Knights were chasing each other. She hurriedly reminded Han Shuo.
"I know, don't worry!" Han Shuo had long since seen the two Gryphon Knights tailing him. His expression didn't change as he called out to Lisa in a low voice. His body continued to quickly weave through the chaotic streets as his mind raced for countermeasures.
Han Shuo clearly remembered the places he'd passed by on his way to Lawrence. Now that he'd been targeted by the Gryphon Riders, Han Shuo quickly thought of a way to deal with them.
The Dark Mantle stronghold couldn't be exposed, so he absolutely couldn't return to the Dark Mantle now. There were soldiers of the Gryphon Legion patrolling every corner of Valen City. Now that the two Gryphon Riders in the sky had their eyes on him, he had to quickly shake them off or find a place to kill them. Otherwise, even greater trouble would befall him.
As his thoughts raced, Han Shuo suddenly changed directions. He no longer used the terrain to weave through the houses, but instead ran in the direction of a patch of forest that he'd seen on his way here. Magical yuan circulated within Han Shuo's body, the surging power seemingly endless. Han Shuo's running speed far exceeded the expectations of the two Gryphon Knights.
The two Gryphon Legion riders had originally planned on lowering their Gryphons to kill Han Shuo as soon as he left the area with too many obstructions. Who would've thought that Han Shuo would be riding a sturdy, healthy horse after leaving the area? His swift speed caught the two Gryphon Legion riders off guard.
However, the Gryphons naturally had the advantage of flying in the sky. After the two Gryphon Riders steadied themselves, the two Gryphons finally caught up to Han Shuo. They kept a close eye on Han Shuo as he circled above the forest.
This place was already a few miles away from where Lawrence was. Han Shuo had noticed that there were only two Gryphon Knights chasing after him, so he didn't appear to be flustered. When he entered the forest, Han Shuo's body immediately paused and he abruptly stopped. He tossed Lisa into the air and carried her on his back.
"Hold onto me tightly, don't let go no matter what!" Han Shuo instructed lowly.
Nodding obediently on Han Shuo's back, Lisa said resolutely, "I understand. I won't let go of your hands even if I die."
"Don't worry, it won't be the two of us who will die." Han Shuo confidently comforted Lisa. He took out a tough, soft rope from his space ring and wrapped it tightly around Lisa's back, preventing her from falling off midway. After doing all this, Han Shuo grasped the Demonslayer Edge in his right hand and looked coldly at the two Gryphon Knights circling in the sky, preparing to slaughter the two humans and two magical beasts.
"Let's see where you're going!" One of the Gryphon Knight above sneered disdainfully. He waved the sharp javelin in his hand and kicked the waist of the Gryphon he was riding in an odd manner.
The Gryphon circling in the sky suddenly screeched strangely and dove straight for Han Shuo. The Gryphon's iron claws could tear a wild ox apart. When it swiped at Han Shuo, its enormous body and the knight's cold javelin created a ferocious aura that shocked the soul.
The other Gryphon Knight drove the Gryphon closer to Han Shuo, but didn't immediately make a move. His face was filled with arrogance and disdain, as if he felt that any one of them was more than enough to deal with Han Shuo. He didn't need to make a move at all.
Han Shuo's expression was cold as he stood where he was, not moving an inch. His eyes stared closely at the knight and the Gryphon descending. A white bone staff suddenly appeared in Han Shuo's other hand when the Gryphon's iron claws were about to reach the trees of the forest. A "Dark Mist" spell was quickly cast by Han Shuo.
With the amplification effect of the white bone staff, the "Dark Mist" spell that Han Shuo had cast had its range increased by three times. The area within ten meters was completely enveloped in darkness.
"Ugh, damn it, I can't see anything." The Gryphon Knight shouted angrily, his voice a bit panicked.
He'd been chasing after Han Shuo all this time and saw that Han Shuo had been running on foot from beginning to end. That kind of speed was obviously that of a strong swordsman. Han Shuo had been wielding the sword-shaped Demonslayer Edge ever since he'd arrived in the forest. His movements and postures were completely that of a swordsman's.
However, when it came time for the real fight, a white bone staff suddenly appeared in Han Shuo's hand, and he'd cast the "Dark Mist" spell in the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint. This immediately gave the Gryphon Knight a fright, and he'd instantly fallen into the trap that Han Shuo had long since planned.
When the Gryphon Knight cried out in alarm, the other Gryphon Knight standing proudly in the distance already knew that something wasn't right. He swiftly moved to help his comrade.
Unfortunately, it was already too late!
In the thick darkness, a bewitching red flame was so dazzling. It didn't seem to be affected by the "Dark Mist" spell in the slightest as it thrillingly displayed its wondrous trajectory in the darkness, outlining a long, blood-red line.
The Gryphon's strange cries of pain and the Gryphon Knight's shrill screams seemed to appear along with the bewitching red flame. As the blood red line streaked through the darkness, terrifying cries of pain rang out incessantly.
Only when the bewitching red flame was extinguished did the cries of pain and despair finally return to silence …
The other Gryphon Knight, who'd already arrived in the area, felt his scalp tingle as he listened to the tragic cries. He couldn't see what was happening with his eyes, and could only ask anxiously, "Kemp, what's going on? What happened?"
He kept yelling, but the Gryphon Knight didn't dare approach the dark mist, and could only drive the Gryphon Knight to observe from afar.
The "Dark Mist" spell came quickly, and disappeared just as quickly. The dark mist that had suddenly gathered quickly disappeared under a gust of chilly wind.
Han Shuo stood motionless in the same position with a cruel, callous, and sinister smile on his face. On his back, Lisa buried her head deep into Han Shuo's neck, her eyes tightly shut. She couldn't bear to look at Han Shuo.
Around Han Shuo, there were bloody severed limbs and flesh scattered all over the ground. Some belonged to the Gryphon Knight, while others belonged to the Gryphon Knight. The thick stench of blood was extremely pungent. Han Shuo raised his foot and stepped on a head with brain juice slowly flowing out. Han Shuo looked as if he'd been baptized in blood. His face and body were covered in blood, making his already sinister expression look even more terrifying.
A retching sound suddenly came from the observing Gryphon Knight. After that retching sound, he immediately spurred the Gryphon to fly far away in fear.
"Do you think you're the only one who can fly?" Han Shuo cackled cruelly as he activated the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens". His body broke through the air and shot towards the Gryphon Knight with Lisa in tow. Before the Gryphon Knight could fly too far, Han Shuo's body had already appeared behind him.
Two bone spears shot out and stabbed into the Gryphon's rear rump, causing the Gryphon Knight to let out a shrill screech. It actually turned around and charged towards Han Shuo with the Gryphon Knight. The Gryphon Knight had gone through the initial panic and was now being carried by the Gryphon Knight towards Han Shuo. He quickly understood that Han Shuo, who could fly, wouldn't give him a chance to escape. Therefore, he raised the javelin in his hand and shot it towards Han Shuo.
Every Gryphon Knight was a former adept knight. Therefore, when the Gryphon Knight raised his javelin, a deep green fighting aura blossomed out and was like a bolt of silver lightning in the air. He borrowed the momentum of the Gryphon Knight's charge to directly stab towards Han Shuo.
Han Shuo had just used the Demonslayer Edge's sharpness to cut a Gryphon Knight and his Gryphon into pieces. An irrepressible thirst for blood and slaughter welled up in his heart. It was as if a voice in his heart was urging Han Shuo to continue this bloody slaughter. When he saw the Gryphon Knight charging over, that irrepressible thirst for blood and slaughter was the perfect opportunity to vent.
Howling fiercely at the sky, Han Shuo cackled as he leapt forward. The Demonslayer Edge, which wasn't particularly long to begin with, actually spat out a two meter long purple and red light due to the circulation of the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire". The purple light was in front and the red light was connected to the Demonslayer Edge from behind, appearing quite mystical.
When the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" was deployed, Han Shuo's speed wasn't much slower than the Gryphon Knight's, even with Lisa on his back. Circulating his magical yuan at full force, the thick killing aura emanating from Han Shuo's body formed a cloud of black mist around his body. From afar, the image of Han Shuo holding the Demonslayer Edge looked like a meteor crashing to the earth.
A dazzling ball of light exploded from the point of contact between the two as the deafening sound of metal clashing rang out in the surroundings. The Demonslayer Edge, which was imbued with the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire", shot out a meter long cold purple light. When it met with the fighting aura on the spear, the Gryphon Knight's tightly gripped spear was crushed to pieces by the violent magical yuan.
The bone-chilling cold spread through the Gryphon Knight's entire body in an instant. He only shivered and hadn't had the time to defend against the cold poison that had entered his body when another meter of red spellfire condensed. Under the burning of the bone-chilling cold and the fire poison, the veins in the Gryphon Knight's right arm that had just gripped the silver spear suddenly ruptured. His muscles tightened and loosened, dripping blood as if acid had been poured on them.
"You shouldn't have chased me!" Han Shuo grinned viciously as he faced the terrified Gryphon Knight. After saying these words, the Demonslayer Edge suddenly spun according to his will and chopped off the Gryphon Knight's iron claws. He then raised the Demonslayer Edge and chopped downwards, chopping the Gryphon Knight and the Gryphon into two halves with the force of a mountain. Fresh blood sprayed out like rain, sprinkling into the forest.
The two Gryphon Knights had been brutally killed by Han Shuo, but Han Shuo still felt that he hadn't had enough. At this moment, Han Shuo was startled and abruptly reacted. He finally understood why he had such a strong desire to kill.
After his magical yuan had reached the true demon realm, Han Shuo had truly become a demon. This was the first time that Han Shuo possessed such tyrannical strength in this realm, and it was very difficult for him to suppress the desires in the depths of his heart. This was especially true for the next realm after the true demon realm, which was the most dangerous "bloodlust" realm. Before entering the "bloodlust" realm, demonic practitioners would begin to have the desire to kill in every battle.
It was a good thing that he hadn't entered the "bloodlust" realm yet, so Han Shuo could still control his thoughts and desires. Once Han Shuo reached the "bloodlust" realm, it would be even more difficult for him to control his desire to kill. Once a battle began, he wouldn't rest until there was blood and would become an extremely bloodthirsty demon.
Exhaling lightly, Han Shuo thought to himself that the training of magical yuan was truly very dangerous and perverse. However, the carefree slaughter today had made Han Shuo feel quite satisfied. His entire being felt as if he'd been reborn.
"Over there, chase them!" The whinnying of a large group of horses sounded from afar. Han Shuo stopped high in the air and looked into the distance. He discovered that a squad of Gryphon Legion cavalry was quickly charging in his direction. This squad was made up of well-trained knights, so Han Shuo wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to shake them off.
Snorting coldly, Han Shuo's body flew through the air and dived downwards. He only abruptly sped off when he was level with the trees.
"You can actually fly!" It was only at this moment that Lisa suddenly moved her lips to Han Shuo's ear and exclaimed in indescribable shock.
