Han Shuo and Rose were surrounded. Time was of the essence. If more divine guards and Divine Guard Chiefs were to arrive, their situation would become even more precarious. Under such circumstances, Han Shuo had no choice but to use every means at his disposal to break out of the encirclement.
Ever since Han Shuo arrived on Elysium, he had been purposefully replenishing Cauldron Spirit's divine soul. After so many years, the demon generals in Cauldron Spirit's body had multiplied several times over. At present, there were more than six to seven hundred demon generals. Usually, Han Shuo would only use a small portion of his demon generals to gather information. He had never released all of his demon generals for battle.
Cauldron Spirit and Han Shuo's minds were linked. Cauldron Spirit knew that the situation was dire. It released its demon generals the moment Han Shuo gave the command. At first, the demon generals were still illusory. The only exception was Rose who was beside Han Shuo. Suddenly, she sensed that many living beings had emerged from her body. The divine guards who were attacking from a distance could not see the demon generals.
In an instant, phantoms that were hard to see with the naked eye started dispersing in the middle of the divine guards attacking Han Shuo and Rose. It was at this moment that Cauldron Spirit commanded his demon generals to attack. Dusky shadows instantly took shape and pounced at the divine guards who were caught off guard.
Some of the demon generals in the vicinity that were there to spy on the divine guards also materialized and charged towards the divine guards in the form of ferocious ghosts. The demon generals gathered together and pounced at the divine guards while wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. They tore, bit, and clawed at the divine guards, fully displaying the advantage of their untraceable speed.
The demon generals refined from the divine souls of midgods and highgods possessed extremely powerful offensive power. Furthermore, the demon generals would attack in large groups. They were not afraid of ordinary divine weapons or divine energy. The sudden burst of demon generals instantly penetrated the divine guards' bodies and gnawed at their divine souls.
Suddenly, the divine guards of Hushveil City started shrieking in terror. Many of them had their divine bodies invaded by the demon generals. The divine energy in their bodies was being drained like a broken dam. Their divine souls were being corroded by the demon generals and their consciousness was fading away bit by bit.
The demon generals could materialize and transform into an illusory form. They could cause great damage to the divine body and divine soul of the divine guards, especially the divine guards. Once their divine souls were corroded by the demon generals, they would not be able to put up any effective resistance. When the divine guards' divine energy and life force were completely consumed by the demon generals, their divine souls would lose their self-awareness and become fertilizer for the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.
One demon general after another whizzed past. Among the dazzling light, gray shadows flashed across the battlefield. The divine guards screamed in agony. Many of the divine guards had their life force rapidly drained away. Although there was not a single trace of blood on their bodies, their eyes were rolled up and they fell to the ground. When the other divine guards went to check on them, they discovered that they were all dead.
The battlefield was in utter chaos. Five to six hundred demon generals were rampaging about. The demon generals outnumbered the divine guards around them. More often than not, the demon generals would gather in groups of a dozen or so and suddenly rush into a divine guard's body. They would devour the divine guard's life force in an extremely short amount of time.
"What's that? What the hell is that? Ah, Locke is dead! "
"What the hell is that? Why are divine weapons ineffective against me? Ah, what's in my body …"
"I can't kill him! Why can't I kill him?!"
"Everyone, retreat! Is it a large-scale invasion? Ah, I, I'm going to die too …"
The Hushveil City divine guards were panic-stricken. They had never seen a life form as unique as demon generals. Ordinary attacks could not pose any threat to the demon generals. The divine guards who could not find a suitable way to deal with the demon generals were unable to retaliate at all. The demon generals took the opportunity to kill dozens of them.
Cauldron Spirit drifted out like a feather. Cauldron Spirit concealed itself and began harvesting divine souls from the divine guards. At the same time, it commanded the demon generals to attack the divine guards who were most susceptible to the demon generals.
The Chief of Second Corps was shouting and yelling among the divine guards. He was trying to rally the divine guards to put up an effective resistance. However, as everyone was panic-stricken and the demon generals were constantly howling and wailing, not many could hear his voice.
Cauldron Spirit knew that the Chief of Second Corps possessed extraordinary strength. Therefore, it did not allow the demon generals to get close to him. It focused on attacking the weaker divine guards and made the battlefield more and more chaotic. The demon generals refined from highgod Eugene were even more powerful. The divine guards had no way to defend against them. In the blink of an eye, their life force was completely devoured by the demon generals of the highest grade. Their souls were immediately collected by Cauldron Spirit.
Two to three hundred divine guards were screaming and yelling. People around them were dying one after another. Under such circumstances, no one had the energy to deal with Han Shuo and Rose. Han Shuo and Rose who had managed to break free from the encirclement did not let go of the opportunity to beat the enemy down. Seventeen flying swords whizzed through the dense crowd. Divine guards were dismembered one after another. Heads, limbs, and blood splattered everywhere.
Han Shuo calmly commanded the seventeen flying swords to kill the divine guards. Meanwhile, Han Shuo and Rose used the few demon generals at the outermost perimeter to observe the situation from afar. They took the opportunity to kill the divine guards with Rose so that Cauldron Spirit could absorb more souls.
Rose was indescribably excited. She thought that she was going to die for sure. But now that she had a chance to live, her willpower to survive gave her an astonishing fighting spirit. Following behind Han Shuo, Rose mercilessly slaughtered the divine guards around her.
In just a few short minutes, more than a hundred divine guards surrounding Han Shuo and Rose were killed. Although the Chief of Second Corps was shouting and yelling, it was to no avail. He could only watch helplessly as the number of divine guards around him dwindled and died.
The divine guards started screaming in panic. They could not think of a way to deal with the demon generals. The more anxious they were, the more powerless they became. The sight of their friends dying one after another had cast a psychological shadow on their hearts. They were at a complete loss as to what to do next.
The Chief of Second Corps frantically shouted but to no avail. Instead, he discovered that Han Shuo and Rose were charging towards him.
The seventeen flying swords cleared a path for the divine guards. One after another, divine guards were sent flying into the air. Dozens of demon generals swarmed over like a dark cloud behind Han Shuo. The Chief of Second Corps was greatly shocked.
Rose's long hair fluttered in the wind. She had injected her darkness divine energy into her hair. Her hair was as sharp and cold as needles. All the divine guards that were struck by her long hair were instantly pierced through. They fell to the ground, dead.
The Chief of Second Corps wore a gloomy face as he stared blankly at Han Shuo and Rose approaching him. His mind was racing to come up with a solution. A few dozen seconds later, the Chief of Second Corps decisively retreated. He had given up on fighting Han Shuo and Rose head-on.
"Physical attacks won't work. Use the divine energy and flames in your body to attack. Those things are afraid of cold and fire. They are also afraid of the distortion of divine energy!" Suddenly, a divine guard among the crowd shouted. He had unintentionally found a way to deal with the demon generals.
The divine guards who had been helpless against the demon generals all this while immediately started attacking the demon generals according to the divine guard's method. Immediately, they discovered that the demon generals were retreating in fear. Some of the demon generals that failed to escape in time would even shriek strangely after being burned by the flames. They seemed to have sustained some injuries.
With that, the divine guards were no longer at a loss. They started using the new method to deal with the demon generals. The remaining divine guards had found the weakness of the demon generals and the number of casualties sharply decreased. Those divine guards who had their bodies invaded by the demon generals would burn the demon generals with their flames. The demon generals would flee before their divine bodies were charred black.
When Han Shuo saw that the divine guards had found the demon generals' weakness and that more and more divine guards were converging on the battlefield through the demon generals that were patrolling in the distance, he coldly groaned and said to Rose, "Let's go!"
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo took the lead and charged towards the battlefield. Rose did not hesitate and immediately followed after him.
Several hundred demon generals gathered like a large dark cloud that covered the seventeen flying swords. They cleared a path in front of Han Shuo. The few scattered divine guards who tried to block their way were either killed by the demon generals or killed by the seventeen flying swords. Han Shuo and Rose were unimpeded.
Every living being had a weakness. Nothing was invincible. Demon generals were no exception. However, even if demon generals were afraid of cold and fire, several hundred demon generals could easily entangle a single person to death. It was just like how a swarm of locusts and ants in the desert would not be scary if they were alone. Anyone could easily pinch an ant or a locust to death.
However, if a swarm of tens of thousands of locusts and ants were to charge at them, they would have no choice but to retreat or be gnawed to death.
Therefore, with several hundred demon generals and the seventeen flying swords hidden in the dark cloud, the divine guards who tried to block their way were all annihilated on the spot. Han Shuo and Rose were able to escape the encirclement.
With the help of a few dozen invisible demon generals, Han Shuo and Rose took advantage of the fact that the encirclement had yet to fully take shape. They chose areas with fewer divine guards and slaughtered their way out of the encirclement. Then, without saying a word, they charged towards the city gate they came from.
The night was even crazier than the night before. Han Shuo believed that if he didn't leave tonight, the patriarchs of all the major family clans in Hushveil City would be mobilized. Perhaps even the City Lord of Hushveil City would join the fray. Han Shuo did not believe that he alone could fight against everyone in an entire city. Therefore, he had to escape from Hushveil City as soon as possible.
Once they left Hushveil City, they would enter a vast mountain range. By then, even if they were pursued by all the experts of Hushveil City, Han Shuo was confident that he could escape from Hushveil City with the help of the demon generals.
After leaving the Godswamp Pharmacy, Han Shuo and Rose showed no intention of concealing their tracks. They headed for the city gate at top speed and prepared to force their way out.
It was at this moment that the City Lord of Hushveil City, Hofs, received the news that Han Shuo and Han Shuo had wreaked havoc in Hushveil City.
Hofs might have been furious the last time, but this time, he had gone completely insane. When he learned that Han Shuo and Rose had publicly killed Hassling, the master of Godswamp Pharmacy, and released a large number of strange lifeforms to kill hundreds of his City divine guards, Hofs had truly gone insane!
"Inform all the patriarchs of major family clans to mobilize their divine guards. The family clan that kills the two will be the next Chief of Divine Guards!" Hofs had truly gone insane. His family clan only had three Chiefs of Divine Guards. If any family clan had two Chiefs of Divine Guards, it would very possibly threaten their family clan's position. Hofs knew this very well. That was why he issued such an order.
"Patriarch, how can we do that?" an elder of the House of Hofley immediately objected.
"Cut the bullshit. Send the message immediately!" Roared Hofs. He left the House of Hofley and led the most elite divine guards of the House of Hofley to the streets of Hushveil City. They rushed towards the city gate according to the message transmitted by their Chiefs of Divine Guards.
Hofs, like Wallace, possessed late-stage highgod strength of darkness. For many years, Hofs had never personally participated in a battle. This time, he was truly infuriated. He wanted to capture Han Shuo and Rose and tear them to pieces.
Although Hushveil City was ranked last among the seven cities of the Darkness Dominion, no one had ever dared to bully him. This time, Han Shuo and Rose had wreaked havoc in Hushveil City and massacred everyone in Hofs' domain. Even until now, no Chiefs of Divine Guards had been able to apprehend the duo. Hofs was clearly infuriated.
Hushveil City's strength was inferior to the other seven cities to begin with and it had not accumulated much strength over the years. After the massacre by Han Shuo and Rose, Hushveil City's strength would be greatly diminished. If Hushveil City were to allow Han Shuo and Rose to escape from Hushveil City alive, there would be no hope for Hushveil City to rise again. Perhaps even the Overgod of Darkness would think that Hushveil City was incompetent and kill him.
The three Overgods of Death, Destruction, and Darkness were warlike Overgods. Their requirements for their subordinates were very simple – submit to them and become as strong as possible!
The reason why Wallace, Hofs, and the others were able to become the lords of the seven cities of the Darkness Dominion was that they possessed extraordinary strength and their family clans were powerful. If they could not prove themselves to the Overgod of Darkness, it was very likely that they would be abandoned by the Overgod!
When Hofs led the most elite divine guards of his family clan out of the Hofley Residence, the patriarchs of the other major family clans in Hushveil City had also received the news from the Hofley Residence. When they heard that the person who killed Han Shuo and Rose would take over the position of Chief of Divine Guards that had been left vacant after Eugene's death, they were all excited.
These patriarchs who had their own plans immediately began to gather the most elite divine guards of their family clans. For the sake of their family clans' future interests in Hushveil City, all the major and minor family clans in Hushveil City were mobilized.
All the major and minor family clans in Hushveil City who were interested in the position of Chief of Divine Guards were mobilized.
The most elite divine guards of the major family clans were mobilized. Hushveil City, which had not yet calmed down, was plunged into an even greater commotion. Some of the ordinary gods in the city who did not know what was going on were indescribably shocked. They thought that the Dominion of Life and the Dominion of God Of Light had launched a large-scale invasion.
Hushveil City was in chaos. Rumors were flying everywhere. There were many different versions of the actions of the major family clans. Some of the divine guards who knew the details had exaggerated the strength of Han Shuo and Rose, adding a layer of mystery to the duo.
