As the golden cudgel crazily grew, dazzling golden light filled the entire cave. The dazzling golden light finally attracted Han Shuo's attention.
He saw that the golden cudgel in metal elite zombie's hand was propped against the solid ice deployed by water divine magus Tiana and reinforced by the Saintess. Naturally, the golden cudgel that had turned into a towering pillar wasn't something that metal elite zombie could tightly grip. However, although metal elite zombie couldn't grip the golden cudgel tightly, he could activate the yuan energy of metal in his body to control the golden cudgel.
Manipulated by the yuan energy of metal in the golden-armored corpse, the Golden Cudgel that was said to be indestructible, the tip of the cudgel suddenly erupted with a terrifying force of impact. Under the watchful eyes of Han Shuo and Stratholme, the Golden Cudgel smashed through the ice like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
The golden cudgel weighed hundreds of millions of kilograms. Except for metal elite zombie whose body was brimming with yuan energy of metal, even Han Shuo couldn't wield it with brute force. It seemed that metal elite zombie wielding the golden cudgel truly lived up to his reputation as the number one expert in the metal attribute in battle strength. Even the layer of ice reinforced by the Saintess with divine energy could be forcibly smashed through with the golden cudgel.
"Let's go!" Stratholme the old monster was both surprised and delighted, and immediately shouted.
Han Shuo, who was staring at metal elite zombie in disbelief, immediately reacted upon hearing Statholme the old monster's shout. After chanting an incantation, the complacent metal elite zombie along with the golden cudgel were sent back to the netherworld by Han Shuo.
"Let's go!" Han Shuo replied. Like lightning, he and Statholme the old monster flew out of the broken hole.
Outside, Tiana and the others from the Church of Light were still engaged in a fierce battle with the Soul Race. Among them, that Saintess possessed truly terrifying strength. Her body seemed to be shrouded in an endless stream of divine energy. Holding that Holy Grail that was bursting with holy light, she was actually able to keep the six-horned tribal king at bay.
"Not good, they've broken through the hole and escaped!" The Firm Ice Boundary at the cave entrance was laid out by the Divine Magus Tiana. She had already sensed it the moment the Firm Ice Boundary was broken.
As soon as Han Shuo and Statholme the old monster shot out from the inside, Tiana's cry of alarm rang out.
However, at this time, whether it was the Saintess of the Church of Light or the three demigod existences, they were all fighting with the Soul Race clansmen. In a battle between experts of this level, unless one side had strength that far surpassed the other, they could not afford to be distracted in the slightest.
Tiana's group of three dealt with the four five-pointed Soul Race clansmen. With the divine knight as the main attacker, Tiana and the light archmage constantly bombarded them with terrifying magic attacks. Although Tiana and the light archmage had deployed layers upon layers of defensive boundaries, they were clearly at a disadvantage against the four of them.
Tiana let out a cry of alarm. Her cold attacks against the Soul Race clansmen slowed down a little. The pressure on the light archmage and the divine knight, who were already having a hard time dealing with them, multiplied. Among them, the divine knight was in a sorry state after being swept by three python tails, and was nearly seriously injured.
Taking advantage of the fact that the few of them were occupied, Han Shuo and Statholme the old monster did not hesitate at all. They transformed into long streaks of light and rapidly flew into the distance. They did not dare to stay on this Sacred Mountain for even a moment longer.
Han Shuo and Statholme the old monster ran extremely fast. Before anyone had the time to take a closer look at them, the two of them had already rushed out of this area.
The Saintess of the Church of Light had placed all her energy on the six-horned Soul Race clansman. She dared not be distracted in the slightest. She could only watch helplessly as the two of them left. She had no spare time to stop them.
As soon as Statholme rushed out of the Sacred Mountain, he immediately yelled at Han Shuo, "Run!"
Han Shuo obviously understood how bad the situation was at this time. He moved like lightning and followed closely behind Statholme. However, compared to Statholme, Han Shuo's face was a bit calmer. He was not as panicky as Statholme.
Once Han Shuo left that cave in the Sacred Mountain, he had plenty of ways to escape. In terms of flying speed, Han Shuo believed that even someone a level higher than him would not be able to catch up to him. In the worst case scenario, Han Shuo could still use the transportation matrix that led to the Cemetery of Death to escape. Therefore, with these things to rely on, Han Shuo was not as anxious as Statholme.
Following behind Statholme, the two escaped from the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light. They did not enter Sandro City at the foot of the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light. Instead, they took a detour and flew towards another city, Ortay City.
After entering Ortay City, Statholme the old monster used the token in his hand to activate the transportation matrix. After passing through several transportation matrixes, the two flew from the border of Oden Empire back to Brut Merchant Alliance. Finally, they appeared in Tariq City of Brut Merchant Alliance.
As soon as they arrived at Tariq City, Han Shuo immediately sensed his location through a drop of blood essence in Y 'lisabet's brain.
"Brian, it's all thanks to you that we could escape this time. I owe you a favor!" Statholme the old monster said to Han Shuo as soon as they arrived at Tariq City.
"You're welcome!" Han Shuo replied with a smile. After a short pause, Han Shuo knitted his brows and asked, "The six-horned tribal king can sense our souls. What do you plan to do next?"
Upon hearing this, Statholme the old monster put on a worried look. Under Han Shuo's gaze, he finally let out a sigh and said, "I will immediately find a secluded place to fuse the Origin Crystal with my soul. Only after fusing the Origin Crystal with my soul will I be able to thoroughly shake off the Soul Race's pursuit."
"However, we don't know the specific situation at the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light. If that six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race didn't suffer serious injuries in the battle with the Saintess and finds you while you're fusing with the Origin Crystal, you will have no choice but to die," Han Shuo said.
"There's no other way. I can only take a gamble. If the six-horned tribal king were to find me midway, I can only blame it on my bad luck!" The old monster sighed again, his face filled with helplessness.
After hearing Statholme's words, Han Shuo didn't know what to say. This was truly a matter of helplessness.
Han Shuo had a pretty good impression of Statholme the old monster. Although Han Shuo might become enemies with him due to the existence of the seven grand duchies, from their interactions over the past few days, Statholme could be considered a straightforward and upright person. During the battle, he would constantly remind Han Shuo of the dangers. Unlike Han Shuo's conjecture, he did not harbor any evil intentions because he was the City Lord of Brettel City.
"In that case, I wish you good luck!" Han Shuo said to Statholme the old monster after shaking his head and letting out a soft sigh.
"You too. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again. Hehe, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Statholme the old monster seemed to have let go of the worries in his heart as he said with a hearty smile. Then, as if he suddenly recalled something, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Brian, after we separate this time, we may never have the chance to meet again. There's something I want to discuss with you. I hope you can agree on the account that we fought side by side."
"Tell me about it first," Han Shuo furrowed his brows. He somewhat understood what Statholme wanted to discuss.
"For many years, I have been the State Preceptor of the Verdun Dynasty. Now that the Verdun Dynasty no longer exists and has been divided into the seven grand duchies, I still have some feelings for the seven grand duchies. After we part ways today, perhaps both of us will be hunted down and killed by the six-horned tribal king. Perhaps one of us will be able to escape this calamity, or perhaps both of us will be lucky enough to survive.
If I survive, I will restrain the seven grand duchies from ever encroaching on Brettel City. But if I die and you are lucky enough to survive, I hope you won't plunge the people of the seven grand duchies into misery and suffering for my sake.
Your Lancelot Empire and the Brut Merchant Alliance have always coveted the seven grand duchies. I know that if I die, the seven grand duchies will not be able to escape this calamity. If you are lucky enough to survive, the seven grand duchies will certainly be swept to the ground by Brettel City. I don't beg you to stop, but I hope you can treat the citizens of the seven grand duchies kindly. "Statholme the old monster looked deeply at Han Shuo and pleaded earnestly.
It was because Statholme had already prepared himself for death that he would say such a thing. No matter how one looked at it, Statholme's request wasn't excessive. As soon as Statholme's words fell, Han Shuo immediately nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will treat the citizens of the seven grand duchies kindly."
Han Shuo didn't know if Statholme the old monster would die, but Han Shuo knew that he would definitely be able to escape this calamity. Han Shuo had long had the intention to encroach on the seven grand duchies. Even if Statholme the old monster was still alive, it wouldn't change his mind. Now, Statholme merely wanted Han Shuo to promise him that he would treat the citizens of the seven grand duchies kindly. This wasn't excessive at all.
"Thank you. I will return to Stranglethorn Vale and make some arrangements. Afterwards, I will immediately find a place undetectable by ordinary people to fuse with the fighting aura Origin Crystal. I really hope that we will have the chance to meet again!" Statholme the old monster laughed heartily and immediately left in a carefree manner.
As soon as Statholme left, Han Shuo muttered in a low voice, "I hope you can escape this calamity!"
Han Shuo only felt a kind of sympathy and respect for this demigod existence that had obstructed the Lancelot Empire's conquest for so many years. He sincerely hoped that he would have the chance to meet the old monster again.
The old monster gradually disappeared from Han Shuo's line of sight. Han Shuo took a deep breath and quickly left, relying on his senses to find Elizabeth.
"Follow me!" As soon as he saw Elizabeth, Han Shuo immediately instructed and brought Elizabeth back to Brettel City.
