Han Shuo was fully aware that someone who had cultivated fighting aura to Karel's level would definitely have terrifying strength. Furthermore, Han Shuo was preparing to use Karel to test his true strength and did not hold back.
Demonic yuan poured into the Demonslayer Edge, catalyzing the Demonslayer Edge's innate malicious spirit energy, causing the Demonslayer Edge to suddenly erupt with a soaring killing intent. With the Demonslayer Edge in Han Shuo's hand as the center, the killing intent was like ripples that spread outwards in circles.
The circles of killing intent seemed to be substantial as they rippled in the air, causing friction with the air to emit a peculiar "chi chi" sound. Waves of evil and ruthless aura could no longer be contained as it overflowed from Han Shuo's body.
Sacred swordmaster Karel's expression changed as his snow-white brows knitted together. A pair of deep starry eyes emitted a resplendent radiance. For Karel to be able to cultivate to the level of sacred swordmaster, his talent was naturally extraordinary. He had fought all over for many years and had seen countless experts. His wealth of battle experience was enough to show disdain for the entire Lancelot Empire.
Karel could clearly feel the shocking killing intent that erupted from the Demonslayer Edge in Han Shuo's hand. The circles of killing intent that spread in all directions carried a dense evil and ruthless aura, as though they contained a violent explosive force, causing Karel to be truly shocked.
In the Profound Continent, most experts would gradually realize the importance of imposing aura before the battle. However, there had never been anyone who was able to turn their aura into strength to face the enemy. This was exactly the same as how Bollands used killing intent to destroy a person's willpower. The difference was that Han Shuo's killing intent was more traceable. Karel understood that this kind of aura definitely existed, unlike Bollands' killing intent that could only intimidate one's soul.
Just as sacred swordmaster Karel was staring at Han Shuo with sparkling eyes, Han Shuo who had poured demonic yuan into the Demonslayer Edge shot a "Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts" towards sacred swordmaster Karel. The Demonslayer Edge suddenly rotated at high speed, a bloody radiance blossoming like a flower petal.
Every time it rotated, a ray of blood-red light would take shape like a blade. Halfway through the 'Battle of Ten Thousand Blood-Red Lights', it had already formed a hedgehog-like blood-red ball of blades. Carrying a dense baleful aura and a soul-stirring screech, it rapidly shot towards sacred swordmaster Karel.
"What a mystical martial skill!" Karel suddenly praised in a loud voice. The longsword in his hand was suddenly raised, and the golden-colored aura was activated. The sword pierced towards the blood-colored ball of blades that was flying at high speed.
The golden fighting aura could only be released by sacred swordmasters and sacred knights. This was a sign that the fighting aura had been condensed to the pinnacle. Han Shuo could clearly sense the destructive power contained within. Although the golden fighting aura was different in nature from the magical yuan, it still contained a frightening explosive power.
Karel raised his longsword. The brilliant golden radiance was incomparably dazzling. He raised his hand and drew a circular arc. Suddenly, cross-shaped sword rays shot out from the tip of his longsword. After the cross-shaped sword rays shot out from the tip of his sword, from small to large, they continuously collided with Han Shuo's blood-colored sphere of blades.
Karel's title as the "Cross Sacred Swordmaster" was indeed well-deserved. Each and every one of his sword lights formed a cross and shot onto the ball of blades that Han Shuo's bloody light had formed, rapidly grinding away the demonic yuan contained within the Demonslayer Edge.
Before this tyrannical "Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts" could reach Karel, it was neutralized by the cross-shaped sword lights. Karel's expression was relaxed from beginning to end. It was obvious that he had yet to use his full strength.
When the blossoming ten thousand lights were annihilated one by one and finally returned to the original form of the Demonslayer Edge, Han Shuo's mind stirred. He saw the Demonslayer Edge that was originally shooting straight towards Karel suddenly freeze in the air. Soon after, the Demonslayer Edge fiercely moved in a mysterious curve, chopping towards Karel from above.
"Oh, interesting!" Karel lightly exclaimed. He raised his head to look at the Demonslayer Edge chopping down. He raised his hand and brandished his sword, pushing aside the Demonslayer Edge that Han Shuo was chopping towards him.
Han Shuo's eyes were fixed on Karel. At this moment, he suddenly closed his eyes and fully controlled the Demonslayer Edge with his mind, using the demonic arts to continuously slash at Karel from all directions.
In the beginning, the Demonslayer Edge's speed wasn't very fast. However, Han Shuo gradually increased its speed. The Demonslayer Edge's initial slashes gradually turned into lightning-like phantoms. After the tens of thousands of malicious spirits within the Demonslayer Edge were activated, waves after waves of endless resentment spread out.
At the beginning, sacred swordmaster Karel was still able to deal with it easily. However, his expression became solemn as his entire body was wrapped in a brilliant golden light. With Karel as the center, one cross-shaped sword light after another shot out explosively. On one hand, he needed to use his longsword to defend against the Demonslayer Edge's rapid attacks. On the other hand, he also needed to use his mind to defend against the malicious spirits spreading out from the Demonslayer Edge.
One had to admit that sacred swordmaster Karel was indeed not an ordinary person. Karel, who could proudly stand at the peak of the Lancelot Empire, did not show the slightest sign of being defeated when facing Han Shuo's all-out attacks. He still appeared calm and unruffled.
Han Shuo had depleted half of his demonic yuan. Seeing that Karel still did not show any signs of fatigue, he once again infused the Mystical Glacial Spellfire into the Demonslayer Edge. Blossoms of purplish red spellfire were attached to the Demonslayer Edge with every slash of the Demonslayer Edge. The energy of extreme cold and extreme heat continuously fluctuated, causing many troubles for Karel.
In the end, the twelve mystical demons materialized, turning into sinister and terrifying demonic faces as they attempted to enter Karel's body from every opening. Karel let out a soft cry of surprise before suddenly shouting, "It is indeed miraculous. This martial technique is indeed different from any of the cultivation methods on the Profound Continent."
Facing so many attacks, Karel still had the leisure to shout loudly. Shortly after, the longsword in his hand suddenly shot out a resplendent golden light. An enormous cross-shaped sword light suddenly appeared, carrying an unstoppable force as it spread out in all directions. For a moment, a fierce explosion actually occurred with Karel as the center.
The boulder he was on was the first to be unable to withstand the explosion and exploded with a loud bang. Amidst the flying rocks, the ground actually started to terrifyingly collapse. It was as though an enormous force had bombarded the ground, shattering everything in the surroundings.
Han Shuo was shocked and immediately recalled all twelve mystical demons. With a long roar, he soared into the sky and instantly landed beside Karel. The Demonslayer Edge that had been attacking Karel for a long time flew back and landed in Han Shuo's palm. The remaining demonic yuan frantically poured into the Demonslayer Edge. A stream of killing intent and resentment from the malicious spirits within the Demonslayer Edge formed a seven meter long blood colored waterfall. Coordinating with the mountain-like strength of the Demonslayer Edge, it ferociously chopped towards Karel's enormous cross-shaped sword light with astonishing explosive force.
A fierce explosion sounded from the point of contact. The boundary that enveloped the entire space collapsed with a loud bang. The vast expanse of white space suddenly returned to its original appearance, revealing the original shape of the spacious underground stone room. At the same time that the boundary was destroyed, a violent wave spread out, causing the earth to tremble along with the overflow of the wave.
The astonishing explosive force suddenly poured into the Demonslayer Edge and rushed into Han Shuo's body along the sword hilt. Han Shuo's body that had been chopped down couldn't help but fly up at high speed. Finally, his body crashed into the rock wall above with a loud bang, breaking a three meter deep hole.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
"Oh, the bed is still moving!"
"… …"
In the Rose Garden above Han Shuo and Han Shuo, the nobles that were having fun with the beauties suddenly felt the tremors coming from the bottom of their feet. Each and every one of them was shocked and started to discuss one after another.
Some of the guards in charge of the Rose Garden were also shocked. They didn't know what was going on and were like headless flies trying to find the cause of the tremors underground.
Right at this moment, the sinister-looking Bollands suddenly appeared in the midst of the guards in the Rose Garden and coldly berated, "What are you panicking for? It's just a small earthquake. This is the center of Ossen City. Apart from some natural phenomena, what else could there be?"
In the eyes of the guards in the Rose Garden, Bollands was a true fiend. When Bollands' words fell, the guards calmed down one after another and followed Bollands' instructions to comfort the frightened nobles. The majority of the nobles calmed down after hearing the guards' descriptions.
However, there were still some timid guards who immediately abandoned the beauties on the bed and hurriedly fled the Rose Garden. They were afraid that there would be one or two more tremors under the Rose Garden and their precious lives would be left here.
Bollands calmed the panicked emotions of the guards, but he himself was apprehensive as he didn't understand what was going on underground. He had just brought Han Shuo underground. Whether it was his old master Karel or this newly acknowledged senior brother, Bollands didn't wish for anything to happen to the two of them.
However, the tremors underground were so violent that it was clearly caused by the two of them fighting. Bollands understood that sacred swordmaster Karel's strength was terrifying and could also see that Han Shuo was an extremely daring and fearless person. He was really afraid that the two of them would have a huge fight. After waiting for the people above to calm down with great difficulty, Bollands hastily headed to the secret underground area.
The flustered Bollands had just entered the underground area and had yet to arrive at the area where Karel was when he heard Karel's hearty laughter. When Bollands heard Karel's laughter, his heart suddenly relaxed before he was somewhat apprehensive.
The spacious stone room where Karel was located was surrounded by a complex enchantment set up by a space archmage. Not only was it able to cut off sound and scene, once one fell into it, one would have a feeling of entering another world. Now, Bollands had yet to approach that area when he heard Karel's hearty laughter, which explained a shocking fact.
The enchantment was destroyed!
When Bollands confirmed this fact, he hastily entered that spacious stone room. The scene that entered his eyes was beyond his expectations. He saw sacred swordmaster Karel sitting cross-legged on the boulder that had been shattered into small stones. Karel was standing in an area that seemed to be the epicenter of an earthquake, smiling as he looked at a cave in the rock wall above.
Within the cave, Han Shuo shook his shoulders and twisted his body that was deeply sunken in the cave. The hard rock shattered and fell. Han Shuo similarly smiled as he leaped from above and landed on the ground.
"Bollands, it seems that your choice was really good. The martial skill on this brat's body is shocking. I have traveled the continent for many years and have never seen or heard of such a martial skill. He has only cultivated for a few years and already possesses such terrifying strength. Who knows how powerful he will be in the future. No wonder that old astrologer Grace had that kind of prophecy. "Sacred swordmaster Karel smiled as he looked at Bollands who had walked in and praised him.
Facing sacred swordmaster Karel, Bollands appeared to be very respectful as he opened his mouth and said, "I have seen senior brother's martial skill before. It is naturally very mystical. What I have bitterly studied for many years but was unable to comprehend, he has long been able to skillfully use it. Moreover, it has far exceeded my imagination."
Han Shuo leaped down, his bones crackling. When Han Shuo moved his muscles and bones, traces of blood-colored black radiance flowed on the surface of Han Shuo's skin like electric arcs. Shaking his neck, Han Shuo smiled and said, "Mister Karel's reputation is indeed well-deserved. It seems that you have yet to use your full strength. Hehe, I have truly benefited greatly from this battle."
Karel was only a sword and with the addition of his golden fighting aura, he was able to stand firm under Han Shuo's storm-like attacks. The explosive power of his final strike possessed an unparalleled ferocity that was completely inconsistent with his old appearance. This truly shocked Han Shuo.
The older the ginger, the spicier. Han Shuo understood that he shouldn't be able to defeat Karel just by relying on the demonic arts of the separate demon realm. However, if he summoned necromancy magic, Little Skull, and the other four elite zombies, he was confident that he could defeat Karel. After experiencing the last trip to the other world, Han Shuo knew that Little Skull's strength was not ordinary.
"I have yet to use my full strength. Didn't you also not use necromancy magic? Hehe, the undead creatures summoned by a grand magus necromancer are very troublesome. Hmm, you're not bad, really not bad. Phoebe still has a good eye. " Karel smiled as he spoke. He paused for a moment before continuing, "After sparring with you just now, I understand that your martial technique is very peculiar. It's like a combination of fighting aura and magic. It seems that it is indeed suitable for Bollands to train in."
Fighting aura only possessed pure destructive power. However, Han Shuo's demonic yuan could temper the body, guarantee the treatment of some illnesses, and even influence the opponent's soul. When manipulated, one would possess all kinds of remarkable abilities.
Fighting aura was only formed slowly through pure physical training. However, demonic yuan could form the consciousness and demonic infant. Using some killing aura, the peculiar aura of heaven and earth, and even some elixirs and rare items could increase one's demonic yuan. From certain aspects, demonic yuan was indeed much more mystical.
"Bollands, you and Brian go out. I need to think about it properly. I have gained a lot from this battle!" Karel smiled as he instructed Bollands while Han Shuo was deep in thought.
