"Awooo …"
An ear-piercing scream rang out from that tent. This scream was so shrill that even the magical boundary couldn't completely block the sound waves from leaking out. With his sensitive senses, Han Shuo could faintly hear some lingering sounds.
The remaining yin demon slowly probed in that direction. However, before the yin demon neared that area, Han Shuo sensed a magical ripple spreading out like water ripples. With his extraordinary knowledge, Han Shuo immediately realized that this was a soul-searching spell. He hurriedly recalled the yin demon from that area.
After the soul-searching spell, a dazzling crack suddenly split open in the sky, like a bright eye surveying the surrounding area.
Han Shuo immediately held his breath and focused, his entire person sinking into a realm where there were no ripples whatsoever. His body was tightly wrapped in the branches and leaves of a large, lush tree.
The soul-searching magical ripple floated out like water ripples. When it passed by Han Shuo, he only felt a slight chill on his body. Han Shuo, who had his consciousness locked, easily avoided this soul-searching spell.
"There's someone!" Suddenly, a soft cry rang out from within the tent.
A shadow darted out of the tent like lightning. A squad of knights followed closely behind the expert who had come out of the tent, quickly chasing towards the east.
Rustling sounds quickly traveled from that area. Han Shuo could clearly hear that someone was quickly leaving the area where the knights were stationed. It looked like someone was also paying attention to the Brut Merchant Alliance's knights. However, they didn't seem to have concealed themselves well, and had been discovered.
Han Shuo remained where he was, not moving an inch. His eyes traversed the long distance and landed on a few tents in the center. The yin demon that had just been recalled was released once again, flying towards the direction of the sound.
What were these Brut Merchant Alliance knights doing in the Dark Forest? Han Shuo's heart was filled with questions. He looked at the tent in the center with glittering eyes and thought silently.
"Boom …"
A loud sound traveled from the direction that the shadow had dashed towards. A strange, owl-like cackle rang out, "Heh heh, who would've thought that it would be two beauties. Don't even think of leaving."
"Cecilia, you go first. I'll stop him!" A familiar female voice came from afar.
Han Shuo, who was coldly staring at the tent, immediately changed his expression when he heard this voice. His originally calm heart was instantly broken. His whole body shot out like a sharp arrow, like a rainbow piercing through the sun, drawing a silver line in the sky, directly falling in that area.
Han Shuo had heard Emily's voice many times. The voice just now was obviously from Emily. If it was someone he didn't know, Han Shuo naturally wouldn't poke his nose into other people's business. However, since Emily was in that area, Han Shuo absolutely wouldn't let anything happen to her.
"You want to run? Tsk tsk, you can't run away!" The hideous cackle of a night owl sounded once again from afar, accompanied by the roar of weapons clashing and magic explosions.
The anxious Han Shuo circulated the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens to the extreme, arriving in that area in the span of three breaths. He was much faster than the yin demons.
The trees in the center of that area had been broken. Emily and Cecilia wore loose green robes, and their delicate faces were smeared with green plant sap. They seemed to have become one with the forest as they leaned against a large tree and continuously cast magical incantations.
A few members of the Dark Mantle had been blessed by Cecilia with magic that increased physical strength, agility, and strength. They resisted the attacks of the Brut Merchant Alliance knights without a care for their own safety.
One of them was a skinny middle-aged man with short, red hair. With a cruel smile on his face, he stood behind the knights with his hands clasped behind his back. As he watched Emily and Cecilia resist, he couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.
"Who is it?!" The skinny middle-aged man suddenly sensed Han Shuo's speed and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. He raised his left hand and a complicated magical matrix actually formed in his palm. A powerful force surged out from his palm and directly bombarded the rapidly approaching Han Shuo's body.
"Bang!"
As if he had collided with an iron mountain, Han Shuo felt dizzy. He glared at the middle-aged man with an ominous glint in his eyes, but his body was unable to move forward.
"Eh?!" The middle-aged man cried out in surprise. His gaze, which had originally been focused on Emily and Cecilia, fell on Han Shuo. The lines on his palm wriggled like snakes, and a trace of blood faintly appeared.
"Roar …" When Han Shuo waved the Demonslayer Edge and a soaring killing intent pervaded the entire scene, the middle-aged man suddenly roared towards the sky. His originally ordinary body that was only 1.75 meters tall began to strangely expand and undergo an unimaginable transformation.
His smooth skin was covered by furry fur. His slender arms became incomparably thick, and his 1.75 meter height increased by ten meters. He had become an enormous black bear. The giant black bear suddenly pressed down with its huge paw amidst its roar, fiercely slamming down towards Han Shuo.
Han Shuo, who was about to fly into the air, suddenly staggered. He felt that the gravity around him had suddenly increased by ten times. Han Shuo, who hadn't adapted yet, felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Brian!" Emily, who was in the middle of casting dark magic, finally saw Han Shuo's presence. She screamed in panic when she saw the giant black bear's mountainous paw coming down.
Han Shuo, whose movements had been affected, thought rapidly in the face of such a crisis. Magical yuan wildly flowed into the Demonslayer Edge when he saw the giant paw coming down. The Demonslayer Edge, having absorbed an enormous amount of resentment and killing intent from the souls, exploded with a blood red light that soared into the sky. Clouds of blood mist floated out, turning into blood-red threads that wrapped around the Demonslayer Edge.
A glaring red light suddenly shot out from the Demonslayer Edge. The vicious killing intent entangled with the boundless resentment of the souls stabbed towards the giant black bear's descending paw.
The grey eyes of the giant black bear twitched at this moment. The hairs on the giant black paw stood up like steel needles. Waves of light shot out from the palm, like the rapid ripples produced by a giant rock thrown into a pond.
"Rumble …"
An enormous sound came from the clash between the Demonslayer Edge and the giant black bear's paw. Blood red light shot out in all directions, accompanied by the giant black bear's miserable howl of pain.
A force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas suddenly surged forth, pressing Han Shuo directly into the ground. There was no technique involved in this enormous force, it was purely based on brute force. Even Han Shuo's body that was as hard as iron and stone couldn't withstand it. The veins in his right hand that held the Demonslayer Edge burst open.
Damn it, what kind of person is this! Han Shuo couldn't help but curse lowly. Han Shuo's strength had increased greatly in the separate demon realm. Han Shuo had thought that he wouldn't meet many people who could surpass him in strength. He hadn't expected that he would be injured again after being injured by Kosse last time.
"Who are you?!" After one strike, the giant black bear shrank back into the skinny middle-aged man. However, the skinny middle-aged man's right palm was dripping with blood. He looked at Han Shuo in shock, his face full of incredulity.
Ignoring the skinny middle-aged man, Han Shuo flew towards Emily after releasing the tenfold gravity. He shouted halfway, "Hurry and leave this place, another expert is approaching."
Cecilia, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, had seen the fight between Han Shuo and the giant black bear from beginning to end. Her gaze towards Han Shuo was a bit strange. When she heard Han Shuo's shout, she suddenly shouted towards the front, "All of you, get back here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cecilia took out a Magic Scroll. Her slender arms shook the Magic Scroll, and a Space Gate appeared in front of Cecilia with a flash of white light. The Dark Mantle members who had been fighting with the knights seemed to have long since anticipated Cecilia's move. They immediately abandoned their opponents and entered the space door one by one.
Without waiting for Han Shuo to react, Emily grabbed Han Shuo's arm without the slightest scruple and also brought Han Shuo into the space door. Cecilia then jumped in as well.
As if they were riding on a magical transportation matrix, a white light flashed. With a splash, everyone appeared in a small river. Like a drowned rat, everyone poked their heads out of the small river, each of them breathing in large mouthfuls of fresh air.
"Brian, weren't you in Brettel City? Why are you here?" Emily had already let go of Han Shuo's arm at this time. She poked her head out of the small river and asked Han Shuo.
"Eh, it's very convenient for me to come here. You know that." Han Shuo winked at Emily and said in a low voice.
Emily started and suddenly remembered the Cemetery of Death in the Dark Forest. With the Cemetery of Death's magic matrix, Han Shuo could easily run back and forth no matter where he was.
"Damn it, how did it get here? Let's go, they'll chase after us!" Cecilia's voice came from the distance at this moment. She was dripping wet from head to toe when she suddenly shouted.
Following Cecilia's shout, Emily gave Han Shuo a meaningful look and immediately followed the Dark Mantle members out of the small river, walking in the direction of a Forest Troll.
