When the numerous experts on Ashburn's side saw that Dempus was actually pulling eldest prince Charles and his brother to retreat, they appeared to be somewhat incredulous.
"Everyone retreat!" The Church of Light's sacred knight Blount suddenly shouted, immediately moving far away in Dempus's direction.
The chaotic negative energy within the Demonslayer Edge that was entangled with the thick blood cloud violently surged out, intertwining with the energy within the blood cloud, chopping down with an incomparably terrifying imposing manner.
Dempus and Blount were both overwhelmed with shock, not understanding what was going on. Especially Blount. He had easily heavily injured Han Shuo a few days ago and knew that although Han Shuo's strength wasn't ordinary, he still didn't place him in his eyes. How could he have expected that Han Shuo's strength would actually reach such a terrifying level in just a few days?
The two had sensed the terrifying energy contained within this attack and immediately started to retreat. This was because even Blount and Dempus didn't have the confidence to block such a frightening attack.
With Dempus and Blount retreating, the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals were naturally even more frightened. They began to flee this area in a panic. The figures of some experts with superior strength became blurry, distancing themselves from this area in the blink of an eye.
The frightening attack carried the strength of a collapsing mountain, loudly striking the area where a hundred people had yet to leave.
"Rumble …"
An earth-shattering tremor and roar erupted with that area as the center. Dust swirled violently, and the ground cracked. The hurricane swept up debris in all directions. All kinds of blood light exploded like fireworks, and ghostly wails and wolf-like howls rose and fell one after another.
Those soldiers who had yet to leave were instantly blasted into dregs by this attack. Flesh and blood mixed with the debris shot into the distance. From afar, it was a scene of desolation. After the dust settled, that area seemed to have collapsed or experienced a great earthquake. An oval pit with a diameter of ten meters appeared out of thin air.
The deep pit was obviously created by this bombardment. The corpses in the deep pit were black and flowing with scarlet blood. Some of the clothes were emitting black smoke. With the deep pit as the center, the ground seemed to have been severely ravaged, as if a giant awl had chiseled a hole. The center was deep and bottomless, and the surroundings were full of potholes.
The might of this attack shocked everyone present. Not only were Ashburn and the others who had just escaped dumbstruck, even Karel, Sabakas, and the others who were observing the changes in the area through the crystal ball had their mouths wide open, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This, this was done by Brian?" At this time, Fanny and Phoebe had also arrived. Fanny had never thought that Han Shuo would be so terrifying. She murmured in a daze.
Sacred swordmaster Karel felt that his lips were somewhat dry as he said, "This is too inconceivable. This attack didn't have any magical elements and was purely a martial technique attack. It caused the deaths of a hundred people and even created a deep pit in the ground. Even if I used my full strength, I wouldn't be able to produce such a terrifying attack. I really don't know how he did it!"
"No wonder Grace said that he could bring a new future to the Lancelot Empire. It seems that Grace has foresight. If those people hadn't escaped in time, I'm afraid that this attack would have caused the deaths of several hundred people. This is indeed extremely terrifying. What's even stranger is that this attack indeed didn't have any magical elements mixed in it. It was purely a result of his mystical martial technique. He's truly a kid brimming with mystery." Sabakas praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Te- teacher, this doesn't seem possible. I know Brian's strength. He isn't that terrifying. Doesn't this mean that he has surpassed you?" Phoebe was dumbfounded. She felt that everything she saw from the crystal ball was unreal.
All along, Phoebe had believed that her teacher Karel was the strongest person on this continent. During the years that Phoebe had been by Karel's side, she had seen Karel being challenged by many experts. However, without exception, those experts who dared to challenge Karel had all suffered a crushing defeat at his hands.
After so many years, Phoebe had seen many of these things. It had left a deep-rooted impression in her heart that Karel was omnipotent. In her heart, she had always believed that Karel was the most terrifying expert in this world and that no one could surpass him.
However, after hearing Karel's words, Phoebe caught an obscure meaning in his words. It seemed that the terrifying scene that Han Shuo's attack had created was something that even her teacher was unable to achieve. This overturned Phoebe's understanding all along, causing her to feel extremely strange.
"If Brian can maintain this standard, to be honest, even I would have to temporarily avoid him!" Karel shot a glance at Phoebe, who had a strange expression on her face, and sighed, "I really didn't expect this kid to be so terrifying. Could it be that when we sparred previously, he purposely held back to save me some face?"
"What a terrifying kid. Even Dempus and Blount, two sacred rank experts, had to retreat immediately. One can imagine how powerful this kid's attack was. Otherwise, with Blount and Dempus' arrogance and status, it would be impossible for them to retreat in front of a junior. "Sabakas determined.
Amyes had an astonished expression. He thought to himself that after the civil strife of the empire, as long as Lawrence sat on the throne, this kid's status in the empire would be as noble as the current Duke of Ashburn. It seemed that it wasn't a disgrace for Emily to follow him. He only hoped that this kid would really treat Emily well.
While Amyes was sighing with emotion, Firenze had an astonished expression as he blankly stared at Fanny. Firenze asked, "Lass, was this kid really your student in the past?"
"Yes, he was. When he was in the academy, he was often bullied by others." Fanny also smiled bitterly as she explained to Firenze.
"This world is changing too quickly. I'm old, I must be old. I discovered that I'm already behind the times!" Firenze had a strange expression on his face. He was astonished by the young Han Shuo's astonishing performance.
"Look, he's starting to move again!" This time, the one who cried out in alarm was Lawrence, his tone filled with excitement.
The happiest person here was none other than Lawrence. Watching Ashburn, Charles, and the others flee in a sorry state, Lawrence felt indescribable joy in his heart. Ashburn and Charles had secretly attacked him time and time again, almost killing him on several occasions. The hatred between them had long since reached a stage where they wouldn't rest until one of them died.
Now that he was able to see Ashburn and Charles make a fool of themselves, Lawrence naturally felt extremely delighted, especially at this crucial moment. As long as Ashburn and Charles died, the entire Lancelot Empire would undoubtedly be under his control. Thinking of the scene of everyone submitting to him, Lawrence was so excited that his heartbeat quickened.
Following Lawrence's cry of alarm, everyone hastily focused their gazes on the crystal ball in Sabakas' hand.
The scene within the crystal ball was still fixed on the land that had been severely damaged. In the sky above the desolated area, the malevolent-looking Han Shuo was crazily roaring. The thick blood clouds around Han Shuo emitted a dense smell of blood, churning unceasingly along with Han Shuo's roars.
A streak of red lightning suddenly flew out from the bottomless pit below, rapidly arriving in front of Han Shuo. It was grabbed by the scarlet-eyed Han Shuo – it was the murder weapon that had just unleashed such a terrifying attack, the Demonslayer Edge.
Once the overflowing ferocious Demonslayer Edge entered Han Shuo's large hand, a terrifying might spread out. Han Shuo's scarlet-red eyes swept across the area and immediately charged in the direction of sacred knight Blount. A hundred meter long scarlet-red sword light suddenly shot out from the Demonslayer Edge. The scarlet-red sword light howled with ferocious spirits, as though it had a bizarre power, entangling a portion of the thick blood clouds in the surroundings.
Han Shuo was like a demon that had descended from another plane, wielding the Demonslayer Edge as he charged towards Blount with a malevolent expression. The Demonslayer Edge in his hand swept away all obstacles in its way. As he flew, the Demonslayer Edge swept horizontally, its terrifying power cleansing everything.
Many of Ashburn's soldiers who were within a hundred meters of Han Shuo were affected. One by one, they were chopped into meat chunks by the hundred meter sword light. Blood rained down on the ground. As Han Shuo flew over, the surrounding sand and stones were sent flying. The sword light streaked across the ground, leaving behind deep ravines.
"Two saints, this, what's going on?" Grand Duke Ashburn looked at the fiendish Han Shuo who was charging over with an unstoppable aura and asked Blount and earth sacred magus Dempus with a trembling voice.
Han Shuo's current aura was really too frightening. It was as though he was the strongest in the world. No one was able to resist him along the way. Those who dared to obstruct him were all destroyed under his hundred meter sword light. In just a short while, five hundred of Ashburn's elite soldiers had died.
These soldiers had been guarding Ashburn all along and didn't participate in the ongoing battle. They were all death warriors that Ashburn had meticulously trained, spending a lot of Ashburn's gold coins and manpower. Every one of them was much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
However, it was these death warriors that Ashburn trusted who were like paper in front of the crazy Han Shuo. They were all easily slaughtered. Not a single person was able to withstand a single move from Han Shuo.
"I don't know why, but this evil fellow's strength has suddenly skyrocketed. He seems to be able to borrow the strength of the dead that hasn't dispersed. Every strike is condensed with terrifying negative energy. I really don't know how he did it! "Sacred knight Blount said to Ashburn with a heavy expression.
"What do we do? What should we do? He's charging over?" Eldest prince Charles was the most unbearable. His voice trembled as he screamed. He was obviously intimidated by Han Shuo's malevolent appearance and terrifying strength.
"There's no other way. We can only retreat. Currently, no one can stop him!" Earth sacred magus Dempus immediately replied. Although this decision made him feel incomparably sullen, he really had no other choice.
"What did the two of you say back then? You said that we wouldn't be afraid even if it's a sage rank expert. Now, you can't even stop such a young fellow. You're too useless! Where else can I retreat to? If I leave Ossen City, wouldn't all of our preparations be for naught?! "As Charles was trembling with fear, he was clearly somewhat hysterical, speaking incoherently.
"Charles, shut up! The two sages' judgment is absolutely not wrong. Calm down! "Ashburn saw that the two sage rank experts' expressions were somewhat unsightly and hastily berated Charles.
After being berated by Ashburn, Charles abruptly woke up with a start and didn't say a word.
"Two sages, Charles is still young and has somewhat lost his composure. Please don't take it to heart. We will listen to the two sages." Ashburn lectured Charles and immediately apologized to Blount and Dempus.
Even though Ashburn was the grand duke of Lancelot Empire, he still had to treat this kind of sage rank expert with caution. Furthermore, they currently needed to rely on two sage rank experts. If they were to anger these two people, then Ashburn and the others would be in an even more disadvantageous situation. Therefore, Ashburn had no choice but to apologize humbly.
Sacred knight Blount coldly snorted, shooting a glance at the silent Charles and said, "Be more careful next time. I'm only helping you this time out of respect for my good friend Kosse. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about your life and death."
Charles was secretly hating in his heart, thinking that he would definitely teach Blount a lesson after he gained power. However, he didn't dare to show any displeasure at this moment and had no choice but to nod in agreement with a smile.
"Lord Blount, for the sake of the God Of Light's radiance spreading throughout Lancelot Empire, please don't haggle over it." Lancelot Empire's Church of Light's Red Archbishop Kosse smiled and said to Blount.
"Forget it. Everything is for the God Of Light!" Blount lightly shouted and immediately said to Dempus, "You bring them away from here. I'll lure that fellow away. I can feel that this fellow's main target is me. It seems that he hates me for injuring him last time."
"Thank you, Mister Blount. Take care!" Dempus stared blankly for a moment before saying in admiration.
Ashburn and Charles looked at each other. Charles cursed in his heart, thinking, Since you know that his target is you, why do you still want to stay with us? Isn't this clearly trying to harm us? You old fart, you really aren't anything good!
"Kosse my old friend, I'll have to trouble you to stay with me. This fellow is a grand magus necromancer. Only the divine weapon 'Revelation' in your hands can render his undead army useless." Blount said to Kosse.
"Of course." Kosse nodded in agreement.
