Under the summons of the skeletal staff, a dense mass of undead creatures surrounded Han Shuo. Han Shuo held Phoebe in one hand and the skeletal staff in the other, rapidly chanting an incantation.
"Retreat, retreat!" Crespo decisively gave the order and took the lead in retreating.
Aubrey, the person in charge of this operation, immediately understood that this operation had failed once again when he saw Han Shuo suddenly appear beside Phoebe. When the hordes of undead creatures gradually appeared, Aubrey also wanted to retreat. Crespo's order to retreat was exactly what he wanted, so Aubrey also began to retreat.
"Want to run? It's too late! " Han Shuo released his grip on Phoebe's small hand and suddenly flew towards Aubrey, the skeletal staff still tightly held in his left hand and the Demonslayer Edge emerging from his right hand.
Aubrey had long since suffered a great loss at Han Shuo's hands. When he saw Han Shuo rushing towards him, his expression immediately changed greatly. He hastily shouted to the archers on the surrounding rooftops, "Shoot him to death!"
A rain of arrows rapidly shot towards Han Shuo. The strength and speed of these arrows indicated that these archers possessed extraordinary strength. However, before these arrows could reach Han Shuo, the skeletal staff in Han Shuo's hand shook and several white bone shields suddenly appeared, blocking all the arrows in several directions.
Han Shuo's speed exceeded Aubrey's expectations. Just as Aubrey turned around to look, the cold and stern Han Shuo had already arrived not far behind him.
"Careful!" Crespo suddenly shouted from nearby, the silver spear in his hand piercing towards Han Shuo at high speed like a drill bit.
Han Shuo turned his head and shot a glance. With a wave of his right hand, the Demonslayer Edge left his hand in a streak of black light and pierced the tip of the silver spear with a whoosh.
"Clang!"
A dazzling radiance blossomed, and Crespo only felt a huge force enter his body through the spear shaft. It rushed into his internal organs from his arm, and instantly caused serious damage to his divine body. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and retreated with a pale face.
"Clang!" Crespo's silver spear fell to the ground, splitting into two halves.
The remaining power of the Demonslayer Edge didn't diminish in the slightest as it continued to stab towards Crespo's chest like a shadow. Before Crespo could stabilize himself, the Demonslayer Edge pierced through the bright silver armor on Crespo's body, creating a large hole in his chest.
A bone-piercing pain spread from his chest. Crespo's pale face was filled with despair as he stared blankly at the bloody hole in his chest. In the end, he spat out, "How is this possible?" before collapsing with a loud crash!
Aubrey was frightened out of his wits as he desperately fled into the distance, no longer caring about the lives of others.
As the main helper of this operation, Crespo was originally a sky knight. After joining the Temple Knights of the Church of Light, he received the additional protection of divine power due to his devout belief in the God Of Light. His strength was much higher than that of an ordinary sky knight.
That silver spear and the bright silver armor on his body were both items that only high ranking members of the Temple Knights were qualified to possess. In the eyes of any alchemist on the continent, they were very high grade weapons. Both the weapon and the armor even contained divine power. Who would have thought that they would be torn apart like paper under the attack of that weapon? This caused Aubrey to tremble with fear.
The fleeing Aubrey obviously didn't understand that Han Shuo's speed was far superior to his. Before Aubrey could leave the Boozt Merchant Guild's sphere of influence, a cold shout came from behind him. Aubrey was aghast as he desperately began to cast the spatial shifting magic that he had yet to master.
For a space archmage like Aubrey, his understanding of space magic could only be considered to be at the beginning of the path. He couldn't freely teleport over short distances like a space grand magus like Emma could. Rashly casting a magic that he hadn't mastered was a suicidal act.
However, Aubrey had no other choice now. He understood that Han Shuo wasn't someone he could match up against. Since there was no hope of escaping with speed, he could only risk his life and use the spatial magic that he hadn't mastered yet.
When a person was in desperate straits, they would always burst forth with some potential. Aubrey, who normally required two seconds to chant a magic incantation, actually managed to shorten the time of the incantation by one second at this time. Han Shuo hadn't even approached Aubrey when suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation came from Aubrey's surroundings.
Suddenly, the space shattered like glass. Aubrey let out a horrified howl as his body seemed to shatter into pieces like a broken mirror. When the space returned to normal, Aubrey had disappeared without a trace.
Han Shuo abruptly stood in place. He had some misgivings about space magic. Rashly using a magic that he wasn't familiar with would sometimes result in even greater power than some orthodox space magic. This Aubrey was clearly in this situation. From Han Shuo's point of view, Aubrey's body and space had shattered at the same time. There must have been a problem with the magic, causing him to lose his life as well.
Before the space returned to normal, if Han Shuo suddenly entered that area, it was very likely that he would be affected by the magic and wouldn't be able to leave. If he ended up falling into another space, then Han Shuo would really want to cry, but no tears would come out.
It wasn't known whether Aubrey was dead or alive, but from Han Shuo's point of view, it was more likely that he would be dead than alive. Without wasting any time, Han Shuo directly went to Phoebe's side and grabbed Phoebe, hastily saying, "Let's go first. I reckon that Lawrence's side is the most dangerous!"
Phoebe was startled and delighted at the same time. She was startled because of what Han Shuo had said about Lawrence's danger. She understood that Lawrence was the most crucial person. This time, since Ashburn dared to make a move against her so brazenly, then Lawrence would most likely be in grave danger as well.
Once Lawrence was killed, then First Prince Charles and Ashburn would be able to truly grasp the situation. Then, the only path left for her and Han Shuo would be to escape.
She was delighted because Han Shuo clearly knew that Lawrence was in greater danger, yet he still came to rescue her first. This was enough to prove that her importance in Han Shuo's heart was far greater than anything else. This was because Lawrence's survival would bring more benefits and power to Han Shuo. Phoebe was truly moved that Han Shuo had come to rescue her first at such a crucial time.
"What should we do with them?" Phoebe immediately agreed. Soon after, she looked at the bodyguards beside her, as well as some merchants from the Boozt Merchant Guild, and asked Han Shuo.
"Let them escape on their own. Don't worry, the remaining enemies will have no chance to make a move against my undead creatures." Han Shuo hastily instructed.
"Miss, you should leave first. We know what to do." The bodyguard leader hastily expressed his stance to Phoebe.
Phoebe hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright then. Be careful and leave quickly."
Han Shuo didn't waste any more words. He picked up Phoebe by the waist and flew towards Lawrence's current residence.
"Bastard, how can you do this in front of so many people?" Phoebe was picked up by Han Shuo by the waist. Smelling the familiar scent on Han Shuo's body, her tender and charming face flushed red as she berated him in embarrassment.
"What does it matter? In any case, they all know that you're my woman. "Han Shuo casually replied, clearly not embarrassed in the slightest.
"You, you still dare to say that. I still haven't forgiven you!" Phoebe resentfully rolled her eyes at Han Shuo, still fuming as she spoke.
"Let's talk about this later. Don't talk anymore. We have to find Lawrence quickly. If Lawrence is really dead, I will take you and leave Ossen City immediately. We will return to Brettel City as soon as possible. "Han Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Brian, it seems that you don't care about Lawrence's life or death at all, right?" Phoebe looked at Han Shuo in astonishment, somewhat puzzled.
"No, I'm just stating the facts. If I didn't care about Lawrence's life or death, I wouldn't be going to save him now. Alright, don't talk anymore!" Han Shuo casually replied. His speed suddenly increased as he flew towards Lawrence's residence at lightning speed.
Ever since Han Shuo knew that Lawrence had deliberately befriended him with ulterior motives, he no longer treated Lawrence as a true friend. The farsighted Lawrence did everything for his own benefit. Han Shuo understood this in his heart and didn't harbor any resentment towards Lawrence's actions.
However, it was impossible to say that Han Shuo didn't have a bit of grudge in his heart! It was just that Han Shuo's and Lawrence's interests were now firmly tied together. The two of them had become grasshoppers on the same string. Only when Lawrence ascended the throne would Han Shuo be able to obtain the greatest amount of benefits. Although this kind of relationship was maintained purely based on benefits, it wouldn't be mixed with too many personal feelings.
It could only be said that Han Shuo saving Lawrence was all for his own benefit and not because of his personal feelings towards Lawrence. Therefore, Han Shuo didn't have too many feelings towards Lawrence's life or death. That was why his expression was so indifferent when talking about Lawrence's life or death.
Before arriving at Lawrence's residence, the soaring fire could be seen from afar. On such a night without moonlight, the fire in Lawrence's residence was truly too conspicuous.
There were a few noble mansions surrounding Lawrence's mansion, but those mansions were as peaceful as usual. Their doors were tightly shut, and not a single person walked out to take a look. It was as if they had suddenly become blind and deaf, turning a blind eye to the activity within Lawrence's mansion. Each and every one of them seemed to have sunk into the deepest sleep.
When Han Shuo swept past those eerily quiet mansions, the mystical demons circled around in the air and suddenly discovered that those seemingly quiet mansions were similarly filled with panic. However, under the stern reprimand of the masters inside, not a single person dared to make a sound. Not a single person walked out of the mansions to take a look out of curiosity.
Such was the hypocrisy of the world. The nobles in these residences weren't part of Lawrence's faction. Most of them hadn't indicated which side they supported, which was why they were able to escape by a fluke. The old nobles were all people who knew what to do. They understood that in the entire Lancelot Empire, only Ashburn and Eldest Prince Charles dared to make a move against Lawrence's residence. This power wasn't something they could contend against. Watching from the sidelines was the wisest decision.
"Rumble …"
A huge explosion sounded from within Lawrence's residence. Han Shuo could see tall and spacious houses collapsing with a loud rumble from afar. In the dusky sky, two golden shadows were extremely dazzling as they moved about on top of a few houses. Every time a golden light flashed, a house would collapse.
Slender gullies would appear after the golden light flashed. The magic boundary that enveloped Lawrence's entire residence was continuously destroyed. Many servants on the periphery were stabbed to death by sharp weapons one after another. Corpses were strewn all over the ground.
Some knights wearing brown, silver, and gray armor, as well as some mages wearing white, red, and black robes, surrounded Lawrence's residence from all directions. Among these people were experts under Ashburn, experts subdued by Eldest Prince Charles, and experts sent by the Church of Light.
When they were about to reach that area, a mystical demon finally took the lead and approached. Suddenly, he sensed two shadows moving about. One of them was actually sacred swordmaster Karel, while the other was a golden-haired old man dressed in a knight's attire.
This golden-haired old man held a golden spear in his hand. The golden armor on his chest had a design of an angel statue. The design of the angel statue was vivid and lifelike, and its wings seemed to be constantly flapping.
A Divinity Temple Knight with an angel statue on his chest was the symbol of one who had been blessed by the God Of Light. Every Divinity Temple Knight with an angel statue had terrifying strength comparable to a sacred knight. If this Divinity Temple Knight was a sacred knight, then his strength would be even more terrifying.
However, this kind of Divinity Temple Knight was extremely rare within the Church of Light. Under normal circumstances, they definitely wouldn't leave the God Of Light's Hall easily. It was rumored that only when an evil heretic that blasphemed the God Of Light appeared would these extremely rare Divinity Temple Knights leave and replace the God Of Light to punish that great heretic.
Han Shuo didn't expect to actually see one in the Lancelot Empire. His heart was filled with astonishment. The golden spear in this Divinity Temple Knight's hand overflowed with strands of golden light. Waves of incomparably sacred aura spread out, giving Han Shuo an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Golden fighting aura was something that only sacred knights and sacred swordmasters could possess. This Divinity Temple Knight being able to release golden fighting aura meant that he himself was a sacred knight. Once this kind of powerful existence obtained the blessings of the God Of Light, their strength would be frightening. Han Shuo only took one look and started to faintly worry for sacred swordmaster Karel.
With so many experts besieging Lawrence's mansion, Han Shuo naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to forcibly barge in. He hastily summoned the earth elite zombie and opened up a passageway leading to the center of Lawrence's mansion. He then brought Phoebe and drilled in.
