Along the way, any divine guards on Avery's side who poked their heads out would be slaughtered by the duo.
The spacious underground chamber was filled with the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. The divine guards who died to the seventeen flying swords were reduced to puddles of blood. The bodies of those divine guards killed by Lolth were quickly corroded when they came in contact with the puddles of blood. The duo charged into the chamber like a god slaying a god.
Time was of the essence and they were in the Godswamp Pharmacy in Hushveil City. Han Shuo knew that he could not stay in this place for too long. If the divine guards of Hushveil City were to gather and surround them, even Han Shuo and Rose might not be able to escape unscathed.
Therefore, Han Shuo showed no mercy. The seventeen flying swords turned into rivers of blood. Han Shuo and Rose made their way to the innermost part of the secret chamber.
While the massacre was taking place, the two demon generals had already entered the secret chamber. Avery's location had been imprinted into Han Shuo's mind through the demon generals. He did not need to spend too much time searching for Avery. He arrived at the secret chamber that Avery was in without any obstructions.
Suddenly, the pharmacist from Godswamp Pharmacy named Karf screamed as he charged out from the chamber. Before he could finish screaming, two flying swords flashed past his neck. His head flew into the air as blood spurted out from his mouth. His body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Darkness divine energy suddenly gushed out from behind Karf. A domain of divinity was formed in an instant. The already dim secret chamber suddenly turned pitch-black. A shadowy figure dashed out from the darkness at extreme speed. His divine energy caused the puddles of blood on the ground to splash towards Han Shuo and Rose.
As Rose cultivated in the energy of darkness, Han Shuo's body would not affect his surroundings too much. Therefore, the shadowy figure moving stealthily through the domain of divinity did not escape the duo's sight. Han Shuo wore a calm expression and did not utter a single word. The seventeen flying swords shot towards the shadowy figure as though they had eyes. They were as fast as lightning and possessed extremely ferocious power.
The ear-piercing screeches of the flying swords resonated in the secret chamber. The flying swords arrived beside the shadowy figure in an instant and enveloped the shadowy figure, preventing him from escaping.
At the same time that the seventeen flying swords erupted, Han Shuo's figure retreated like a ghost, dodging the blood that poured down like a drizzle. He shouted in a low voice, "Avery, you will die today!"
As soon as he finished those words, the Cauldron Spirit poured its energy into his body. Suddenly, a terrifying energy emanated from Han Shuo's body. In an instant, the seventeen flying swords let out ear-piercing screeches and enveloped Avery. The Avici Hell was formed in an instant. A ruthless and evil aura emanated from Avery.
At the same time, Han Shuo retreated like a phantom, dodging the drizzling puddles of blood.
Rose was horrified. She had planned to help Han Shuo, but the moment Han Shuo absorbed Cauldron Spirit's energy, she immediately sensed that Han Shuo was a completely different person. She turned pale with fright when she sensed the terrifying energy and the seventeen flying swords going berserk.
It turns out that he didn't use his full strength last time! I was planning to take revenge on him after the master-slave contract is dissolved. How laughable! How laughable! Rose felt incomparably bitter.
Even Rose was intimidated by the terrifying energy within the forcefield formed by the Avici Hell. She stood beside Han Shuo in a daze, not daring to approach the Avici Hell to help Han Shuo deal with Avery. It was also at this moment that Rose completely gave up on avenging Han Shuo. She even started to fear Han Shuo.
Rose knew Han Shuo better than most people on Elysium. Back when she was on Profound Continent, Rose had secretly probed Han Shuo's strength through Adele, a disciple of Han Shuo's. It hadn't been long since Han Shuo had gained such terrifying strength. Not only did Rose feel that it was unimaginable, but she also deeply feared Han Shuo.
Avery's strength was inferior to Rose's, and this time, Han Shuo had borrowed Cauldron Spirit's energy. Therefore, Avery was completely powerless in the Avici Hell. The darkness divine energy in his body was corroded by the frost and acid toxins of the seventeen flying swords. In just a few seconds, he had lost all hope.
Han Shuo suddenly dashed towards Avery and coldly shouted, "Carmelita didn't kill your children. It was me!"
Avery's eyes suddenly burst out with extreme hatred. He seemed to be unwilling to die just like that. He clenched his teeth and was prepared to inflict a heavy blow on Han Shuo before he died.
Unfortunately, Han Shuo did not give Avery any chance to do so. The seventeen flying swords circled around Avery's chest and severed all the vitality in his body. Before the acid toxins could corrode Avery, the seventeen flying swords suddenly flew back to the side.
Han Shuo abruptly closed in on Avery and extended his left hand. The Demonic Blades burst out and slashed across Avery's neck. With a burst of cold air, Avery's head flew high into the air before any blood flowed out.
Han Shuo conveniently took out a glass container that he had prepared beforehand and left a trace of cold air inside it. Avery's head was placed inside the glass container. Cauldron Spirit immediately flew out and absorbed Avery's divine soul at the fastest speed possible.
Han Shuo looked around and saw that the ground was covered in pools of blood. There was not a single survivor. He decisively shouted, "Let's go!"
Rose looked at Han Shuo in a daze. She softly replied, "Oh." She silently followed behind Han Shuo. Her bright eyes that looked at Han Shuo from behind were filled with astonishment and fear.
It took less than two minutes for Han Shuo and Han Shuo to break into the Godswamp Pharmacy and kill everyone. Those who had sensed the abnormality underground had yet to arrive at the entrance of the Godswamp Pharmacy.
Han Shuo and Rose flew through the air and returned to the entrance of the Godswamp Pharmacy through the route they came from. Soon enough, they arrived at the entrance.
It was only when Han Shuo and Rose returned to the entrance that they saw the Godswamp Pharmacy's divine guards rushing towards them. Han Shuo had used his demon generals to scout out the situation inside the Godswamp Pharmacy but did not discover any trace of Hassling. There was simply no one in the Godswamp Pharmacy that could pose a threat to Han Shuo and Rose.
The divine guards that came to surround Han Shuo and Rose were courting death. The two showed no mercy. Several of the divine guards were killed on the spot. Han Shuo and Rose did not stay for long. After killing a few divine guards that dared to block their way, they immediately flew away in case the divine guards from Hushveil City would come to them.
The assassination had come to a clean and efficient end. Han Shuo and Rose took advantage of the hazy night to escape. The Godswamp Pharmacy's divine guards could only see two figures.
… …
In just one day, two murders took place in Hushveil City. The murderers were the same bunch of people. The experts of all major family clans in Hushveil City were alarmed, especially the Chief of the Sixth Corps. He was frantically searching for the murderers after losing his son. He even declared that he would hack the murderers into a thousand pieces if he found them.
In the largest House of Hofley in Hushveil City, Hofs, the City Lord of Hushveil City and the patriarch of the House of Hofley, was wearing a dark and gloomy face. The few Chiefs of Hushveil City who stood before him were as quiet as cicadas in winter. They hated the murderers to the bone.
"Find the murderers in three days, dead or alive!" Although the tall and skinny Hofs had a scholarly appearance, those who knew him well knew that he was a hot-tempered man. He was truly enraged this time. It had only been a few days since the death of Divine Guard Chief Eugene and he had yet to find a place to vent his anger. But now, another murder had happened in Hushveil City. This had clearly exceeded the limits of his tolerance.
None of the Chiefs dared to say a word. Only the Chief of the Sixth Corps, Salohucci, who had lost his son, shouted, "Rest assured, City Lord. All the divine guards of the Sixth Corps have been mobilized. All the major city gates have received the news that no white-haired woman is allowed to leave the City! The murder at Godswamp Pharmacy happened after the city gates were sealed. We can be certain that the murderers are still in Hushveil City. As long as we increase our search efforts, there is no way that the two can escape! "
"I don't care what methods you use. I want them dead or alive in three days!" Hofs was extremely enraged. He asked, "Has Hassling not returned yet?"
"My Lord, Hassling is in Firesand Town. We have sent word that Hassling is currently in Hushveil City. Given the distance between Firesand Town and Hushveil City, Hassling will be arriving soon!" replied Lordalie, the Chief of the First Corps respectfully.
"Why did the two insist on killing people at Godswamp Pharmacy? That secret chamber was littered with corpses. Not a single complete corpse could be found. Who are the people who died? " Hofs slammed the table. Bang! The entire table exploded into pieces. Stone chips scattered all over the floor.
Lordalie put on a bitter face and said, "There are no traces at the scene. We don't know what happened for now. We can only wait for Hassling to come and ask him!"
"City Lord, the master of Godswamp Pharmacy requests an audience!" it was at this moment that a divine guard reported from outside.
Everyone was waiting for Hassling's arrival. Hofs' eyes turned cold and he shouted, "Let him in!"
A moment later, Hassling, who had white hair and a youthful complexion, entered the room in fear and trepidation. As soon as he arrived, he bowed deeply at Hofs and said in a sorrowful voice, "City Lord, please seek justice for me!"
Hofs put on an impatient face and coldly groaned, "Who are the people who died in your secret chamber?"
"Avery of the City of Shadows and those divine guards of the Fifth Corps of the City of Shadows. After Avery had a falling out with the House of Sainte of the City of Shadows, as well as the House of Sainte and I, he contacted me, hoping that I could give them a place to stay. But I did not expect that such a thing would happen. The House of Sainte is too audacious to commit murder in Hushveil City. They are simply looking down on our City. Last time, they killed Eugene. But this time, they are even more audacious. My Lord, Hushveil City cannot remain weak any longer! "Hassling cried in front of Hofs as tears streamed down his aged face." But I did not expect that this would happen. The House of Sainte is too audacious to commit murder in Hushveil City. They are simply looking down on our City. Last time, they killed Eugene. But this time, they are even more audacious. My Lord, Hushveil City cannot remain weak any longer! "
Hassling knew that there was no way he could conceal such a major incident that happened in the Godswamp Pharmacy. Besides, he had a personal grudge against the House of Sainte. No matter who killed Avery, he had to bring the matter to the House of Sainte first. It would be best if Hushveil City could go to war with the City of Shadows. But even if they could not, he wanted to infuriate Hofs and teach the House of Sainte a lesson.
"It's actually Avery!" Hofs immediately flew into a rage after hearing Hassling's words. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Your Lordship, you are very busy and the House of Sainte is pursuing Avery very closely. I was planning to wait for a few days before reporting to Your Lordship. I did not expect that such a thing would happen. Please forgive me, Your Lordship. I, Hassling, have always been loyal and devoted to Your Lordship. I hope that Your Lordship will be able to see through this! "Hassling hastily explained.
"Your Lordship, since the deceased is Avery of the City of Shadows, he shouldn't be a citizen of Hushveil City. If it really is the House of Sainte, then we are in the wrong. After all, Wallace had instructed that no one from the Darkness Dominion is to protect Avery. He is determined to take Avery's head. For Avery to appear in the secret chamber of Godswamp Pharmacy, we are in the wrong! "reminded the Chief of Second Corps.
"So what? Since the House of Sainte knew that Avery was in the Godswamp Pharmacy, why didn't they inform the City Lord in advance? Why did they barge into the Godswamp Pharmacy and kill him? Besides, not only did they kill Avery, but they killed my son right in the middle of the street just because they had a little quarrel with him. How are we going to settle this? By doing this, the House of Sainte of the City of Shadows is simply looking down on Hushveil City. If Hushveil City shows weakness, they will only become more and more unbridled. Your Lordship, please understand this! "shouted Salouhucci who had lost his son.
Hofs listened to the quarrel between the Divine Guard Chiefs and turned to Hassling. His face turned gloomy and he instructed in a low voice, "No matter what, those who have killed in my Hushveil City will not be able to leave. The few of you, send out all your divine guards to investigate. If they are found, kill them on the spot! Those from the City of Shadows could kill Eugene and now they dare to act so presumptuously in my Hushveil City. I don't care what Wallace says, they must be dead meat! "
Hofs did not change his mind even after learning about the cause and effect of the incident and gave the order to kill without mercy. The divine guards knew that Hofs would not change his mind. The Divine Guard Chiefs who had been taken advantage of by the intruders were fuming with rage. They put on cold faces and mobilized all the divine guards in the City to carry out a massive manhunt for the intruders.
… …
At this moment, Han Shuo and Rose who had turned Hushveil City upside down had found a new gymnasium in one of the most remote districts of Hushveil City.
However, before they arrived at the gymnasium, Rose's long hair was completely covered by a jet-black silk scarf. After concealing her conspicuous features, the two found a new gymnasium.
This time, Han Shuo rented the gymnasium using his own divine tablet. After arriving at the gymnasium, Han Shuo calmly sat down and did not appear to be in a hurry.
However, after the massacre at Godswamp Pharmacy, Han Shuo noticed that the way Rose looked at him had changed. From time to time, she would crease her brows and look at him as though she had something to ask but was embarrassed to do so.
After a few times, Han Shuo grew impatient. He looked at Rose from afar and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Rose stared blankly for a moment. She hesitated for a moment before she asked, "Back at the Demon Mountain, why didn't you kill me right from the start? Based on the strength you displayed last night, if you had used your full strength, I wouldn't have been able to survive! "
Back then, Han Shuo had used his full strength. It was only because Cauldron Spirit wasn't with him that he couldn't kill her. Cauldron Spirit was also Han Shuo's greatest secret. Therefore, he naturally couldn't reveal how important Cauldron Spirit was to him. Han Shuo stared blankly at the curious Rose for a moment. After failing to come up with an excuse after a long while, he coldly said, "Remember who you are and stop asking irrelevant questions!"
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo closed his eyes in silence and no longer paid any attention to Rose.
Rose was furious. The more she spent time with Han Shuo, the more she felt that Han Shuo was despicable. Despite being a mysterious person, Han Shuo was tight-lipped and refused to tell her the truth. On top of that, he would order her around all day long. This filled Rose's heart with resentment but she had nowhere to vent it.
"When are we leaving?" Rose glared hatefully at Han Shuo for a few more times before she asked, "After a day and night of killing, I reckon that the entire Hushveil City is in chaos. You have also asked me to cover my white hair. You should know that Hushveil City will not let us off. Under such circumstances, if we are discovered, all the experts of Hushveil City will gather here. Even if we have decent strength, we won't be able to escape from the joint pursuit of all the experts of Hushveil City!"
Although Rose was confident in her own strength, she knew that it was impossible for her to escape from the encirclement of Hushveil City. She wasn't even a match for the City Lord of Hushveil City. If all the experts of Hushveil City were to gather, she believed that even Han Shuo wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
"Right now, Hushveil City is on high alert. There are more divine guards on the streets than there are pedestrians. All the city gates must have been sealed. It is not a good time for us to leave Hushveil City at this moment. We are most likely to be exposed, "said Han Shuo lazily with his eyes still closed," Besides, this matter has not been settled cleanly and cleanly. "
"Haven't we already killed them all? What else do you want? "asked Rose in astonishment.
"We are still missing one person! This person is even more difficult to deal with than Avery. He is the master of the Godswamp Pharmacy, Hassling! " Han Shuo opened his eyes and looked at Rose. He explained, "Putting aside the personal grudges between me and Hassling, for the sake of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy's dominance over the Darkness Dominion, I must eliminate him!"
"You still dare to make a move at a time like this?" Rose was shocked by Han Shuo's audacity. She cried out in alarm, "So you know that Hushveil City is in a state of panic. Everyone is looking for the two of us. Isn't it a little too presumptuous to make a move now?"
Han Shuo put on a calm smile, shrugged, and comforted Rose, "Don't worry, I am confident that I can get you out of Hushveil City alive. Have a good rest. We will make another trip to the Godswamp Pharmacy at night. I believe that Hassling should have returned by now, given what happened in the Godswamp Pharmacy."
Rose put on a cold face but in her heart, she was laughing bitterly. She did not expect to follow such a lunatic. Would she be able to walk out of Hushveil City alive?
Although Rose had been a cultivator for many years, she had never met someone as audacious as Han Shuo, a madman who looked down on everyone else. She was actually a little excited. She was both worried and excited about the assassination attempt. Her heart could not calm down.
