The struggle for power within Ossen City was still in full swing. Wherever there was war, there would definitely be deaths. Including the deaths from the previous two days, the number of soldiers that had died within Ossen City was no less than forty thousand.
The soaring baleful aura enveloped the entire sky of Ossen City, causing people to feel stifled, as if a large rock was pressing down on their chests. Some experts even felt that the omnipresent magical elements seemed to be affected by this energy.
On the clock tower of the castle in the northern city district, Han Shuo stood proudly on top of the clock tower, looking at the blue dome of heaven. An enormous vortex was formed once again, slowly devouring the omnipresent baleful aura within Ossen City. The Demonslayer Edge once again soared into the sky, forming a layer of blood cloud that floated in the sky.
This time, Han Shuo was much more cautious. The process of the Demonslayer Edge absorbing the negative energy was slowed down by a lot. As the speed at which the blood cloud condensed energy had slowed down, the conversion of energy within the Demonslayer Edge became much easier. Under the control of Han Shuo's mind, the hostile energy was first condensed bit by bit and then entrenched within the hilt of the Demonslayer Edge bit by bit.
It was unknown if it was because he had swallowed a black resolute crystal previously, but the speed at which Han Shuo's body devoured and purified the baleful aura had increased by a lot. The dense baleful aura was first devoured by the enormous vortex above Han Shuo's head. After going through the high-speed rotation of the vortex, some of the impurities were removed. The purer energy seeped into Han Shuo's body through the roots of the vortex, and was then condensed by the demonic yuan in Han Shuo's body. Finally, it formed a source of energy suitable for Han Shuo's demonic infant to directly absorb.
The dense baleful aura had gone through two processes of purification and refinement. The amount of energy that could be completely absorbed by Han Shuo was not even a tenth of it. However, due to the heavy casualties in Ossen City this time, the benefits to Han Shuo from converting such a huge amount of energy into a tenth of it was also astonishing.
With the previous experience of falling into a demonic state, Han Shuo had been very careful this time. He was not impatient for quick results, nor was he greedy. He used the safest method to absorb it bit by bit, to prevent himself from falling into the terrifying realm of falling into a demonic state again.
Time passed by silently. After a day, the sky above the castle had turned completely blood red. When the scorching sun shone on the castle, the entire castle seemed to be smeared with a layer of blood, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
A huge whirlpool of black light and flashing lightning was crazily rotating in the middle of the thick blood-red clouds. A terrible evil aura was constantly being released, causing people to tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
This scene lasted for three days. Some of the ordinary people in Ossen City suddenly felt the pressure in their hearts suddenly disappear. Some of the experts who could sense the magical elements also discovered that the indescribable energy that enveloped the entire Ossen City was frantically flowing towards the northern city district and quickly disappearing.
The experts on Lawrence's side who were stationed in the castle suddenly discovered that the two wonders in the sky were slowly becoming smaller. The thick smell of blood that was everywhere was also becoming more and more intense. The blood clouds were no longer as red as dripping blood, and had clearly become thinner.
After another two days, the blood clouds above the castle seemed to have been completely blown away. The whirlpool above the clock tower had also disappeared at some point. The bright and clear sky reappeared in the northern city district. The warm sunlight shone on every corner of the northern city district, making people feel comfortably warm and comfortable.
After lightly exhaling, Han Shuo slowly awoke from his meditative state. Han Shuo could feel the surging energy in his body. This kind of energy spread throughout Han Shuo's meridians, bones, and even his skin and flesh. It made Han Shuo feel like he was about to explode. Han Shuo understood in his heart that the energy he had absorbed over the past few days was all within his body. He had to go into seclusion as soon as possible to suppress all of this energy and completely fuse it with his original energy. Only then would he be able to make a breakthrough.
The Demonslayer Edge quietly landed in Han Shuo's hand, without a trace of life. However, Han Shuo could feel the frantic transformation of energy within the Demonslayer Edge. The energy within the Demonslayer Edge was much more diverse than what Han Shuo had absorbed. If he wanted to completely digest it, it definitely wouldn't be possible in a short period of time.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was Han Shuo or the Demonslayer Edge, they both needed some time to digest it. Moreover, the sooner the better.
After walking down from the clock tower, Han Shuo stepped towards the hall on the second floor where Emily, Fanny, and the others were staying. Along the way, the twelve mystical demons clearly displayed the current situation of Ossen City to Han Shuo.
A few days had passed and there were no more battles in the four districts of Ossen City, including the imperial palace. The group of people led by Lawrence had long since moved into the imperial palace. Ashburn and Lawrence's mansions were in a mess, with obvious traces of a battle.
"Brian!" Fanny immediately called out in pleasant surprise when she saw Han Shuo walking over.
Emily and Phoebe were cultivating martial arts and meditating to increase their mental strength respectively. When they heard Fanny's cry of surprise, they immediately stopped what they were doing and hurriedly came to the hall where Fanny was. Their bright eyes immediately focused on Han Shuo.
"You scoundrel, you actually stood aside at such a crucial moment and actually started cultivating. You're truly an unreasonable fellow." Phoebe pouted and complained.
"How's the current situation in Ossen City?" Han Shuo faintly smiled and inquired about serious matters.
"The overall situation has been determined. Duke Ashburn has been killed by sacred swordmaster Karel and Prince Charles has also been temporarily imprisoned. As for the other two princes, seeing that Lawrence's influence has far surpassed theirs, they have also given up on fighting over the throne with Lawrence. Currently, Lawrence is busy cleaning up the mess and gathering the people's hearts. I reckon that it won't be long before he officially ascends to the throne. "Emily gently explained to Han Shuo.
"From the looks of it, the civil strife in Lancelot Empire should be considered over?" Han Shuo said with a smile.
Nodding her head, Emily continued, "Indeed, there's no longer any suspense. Currently, the entire Ossen City is under Lawrence's control. In addition, so many military forces are in Lawrence's hands and the eldest prince has also been imprisoned. There's no one in the entire Lancelot Empire that can threaten Lawrence's throne."
"Since that's the case, then I can rest assured." Han Shuo said with a faint smile. Soon after, he bitterly smiled at the three ladies and said with some difficulty, "However, I reckon that I will need a very long period of time to cultivate. It seems that I will have to temporarily separate from you all."
"You scoundrel, you've only been out for a while, where do you think you're going? You heartless fellow, don't you know that I'll miss you? " When Phoebe heard that Han Shuo was going to leave again, her beautiful face was filled with grief as she cried out unwillingly.
When Emily and Fanny heard that Han Shuo was going to cultivate again and that there was still a long period of time, they panicked in their hearts. Their bright eyes focused on Han Shuo, revealing a reluctant expression.
"There's no other way, I need to immediately go into seclusion to consume that energy. If I don't do it in time, it might affect my realm and even cause me to fall into a state of madness." Han Shuo explained with a bitter smile.
"Then how long do you need to cultivate this time?" Emily's black brows were deeply furrowed as she inquired.
"I can't say for sure. If it's fast, it'll be a year and a half. If it's slow, it'll probably be two to three years. Sigh, cultivating my martial technique in seclusion is indeed a very time-consuming matter. I have no way of predicting it either. "Han Shuo sighed.
When they heard that it would take at least a year and a half, the hearts of the three ladies were thrown into disarray. The worry and grief in their eyes became even more intense.
"Brian, I have something to discuss with you alone." Phoebe pouted as she looked at Han Shuo and said angrily. However, after she said this, for some reason, Phoebe's face suddenly turned red.
Emily originally had something to say as well. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly heard Phoebe say the same thing as what she wanted to say. She couldn't help but look at Phoebe in astonishment. When she saw Phoebe's pretty face turn red, Emily immediately thought of something and cursed in her heart. Her face also turned red.
Han Shuo was surprised at first. When he saw Phoebe's pretty face turn red, he suddenly thought of something. He chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll talk to you first. I'll talk to Emily later."
When she heard Han Shuo's chuckle, Phoebe knew that he definitely knew something. She clenched her teeth and fiercely glared at Han Shuo. Then, she went straight to her room without saying a word.
"I'll talk to Phoebe for a bit!" Han Shuo hurriedly threw down these words and quickly went to Phoebe's room. He left behind a red faced Emily and a confused Fanny.
"Sister Emily, what do they have to talk about? Why do they have to talk alone?" Fanny had some doubts in her heart and asked Emily.
"Hehe, of course they have to talk about something private. Hehe, I wonder how long this little hussy, Phoebe, can last." Emily laughed a little wanton. She winked at Fanny with interest.
Fanny was stunned. Then, she suddenly heard Phoebe's low gasp. Fanny immediately reacted. Her cheeks flushed red, and it quickly spread to her neck.
"Bah!" Fanny scolded in a low voice.
"Hehe, now Sister Fanny knows what they're talking about, right? Hehe, Sister Fanny. Brian, that little pervert, hasn't he eaten you yet? Why do you look so shy? "Emily chuckled and teased Fanny. She looked very happy.
"Sister Emily, you, you're really …" Fanny was so embarrassed that she didn't finish her sentence. She stomped her feet and walked to her room with her head down.
The room was very spacious. Apart from the spacious living room in the center, there were five or six other rooms. Boris had specially arranged for them to stay in order to make it easier for him to communicate with the three women.
Seeing Fanny shyly return to her room, Emily laughed even more happily. Both Emily and Fanny were magicians, and the three rooms were very close to each other. Naturally, she could hear some of the sounds. When Fanny left, only Emily was left in the living room.
Low moans echoed in Emily's ears. For some reason, Emily's heart suddenly beat faster, and her body suddenly became unbearably hot. For some reason, Emily secretly looked around. With a blushing face, she tiptoed to the room where Phoebe and Han Shuo were. She lightly leaned against the door to eavesdrop on the sounds coming from inside.
"Oh …" Phoebe's voice was soft and trembling, as if she was crying.
Han Shuo, who had finally stripped Phoebe of all her clothes, wandered his big hands on Phoebe's smooth body. Every time his fingers moved, Phoebe couldn't help but tremble. Phoebe's white skin gradually became more rosy under Han Shuo's big hands' caress.
Under the emotion of parting, Phoebe's almond-shaped eyes were blurred. Under Han Shuo's teasing, her body faithfully reflected the joy and excitement in her heart. Lost in Han Shuo's caresses, Phoebe panted lightly to take off Han Shuo's clothes. Whether it was because Phoebe was too excited or a little confused, her action of taking off Han Shuo's clothes was obviously a little rough, and one of his clothes was torn by her.
Han Shuo had also held back for a long time. He didn't even think of setting up a soundproof enchantment. Panting heavily, he suddenly pressed on Phoebe.
"Ah!" Phoebe screamed. Her two hands suddenly pushed against Han Shuo's chest, and her bright eyes suddenly regained clarity.
Phoebe's scream was a little too loud. Even Fanny, who was far away, could hear it clearly. Inside her room, she cursed Phoebe's shamelessness in a low voice.
Emily, who was eavesdropping outside, was even more shocked. She deliberately concentrated her mental energy to eavesdrop, but her ear still felt a faint pain. You little hussy, why are you screaming so loudly? Are you trying to kill me?! Emily held her left ear and also cursed Phoebe in her heart.
"Why are you here?" Han Shuo, who was about to mount her, looked at Phoebe with a stunned expression and asked in a strange tone.
"You almost squashed me to death. How did you suddenly become so heavy? Fortunately, I am a Great Swordmaster who cultivates Fighting Aura. If a normal woman was pressed down by you like this, they would have been squashed to death on the spot!" Phoebe's charming face was so red that it seemed like it was about to drip blood.
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment. He immediately reacted. After swallowing the Black Resolute Crystal last time, his weight had increased by more than ten times. No wonder Phoebe screamed this time.
Hu hu, fortunately, the first one was Phoebe. If it was Emily or Fanny, something might really have happened. Han Shuo secretly rejoiced and hurriedly reminded himself to be careful in the future. Then, he once again pounced on Phoebe with an evil smile, but this time, he used one hand to support his body.
Han Shuo, who had originally planned to attack Phoebe, suddenly thought of something and immediately sat up. Then, he forcefully hugged Phoebe's perfect naked body and pressed her to sit on his thighs while she cried out in surprise.
In this way, with Han Shuo sitting, Phoebe's legs were entrenched around Han Shuo's waist, and her buttocks were sitting on Han Shuo's thighs.
"Scoundrel, you, you big pervert. This is too embarrassing, let go!" Phoebe's jade buttocks felt Han Shuo's high spirits and she shyly shouted in a low voice.
"Hehe, I just need to change my position!" Han Shuo laughed proudly. Then, ignoring Phoebe's unbearable struggle, the large hand that was pressing on Phoebe's buttocks began to move.
