Han Shuo and Rose had no idea that the gods in Hushveil City were panicking because of them. At this moment, all their attention was focused on leaving Hushveil City and they had no mind to pay attention to anything else.
Although Hushveil City was huge, the two of them were rapidly approaching the city gate they had come from as they hurried on without any hesitation.
As the battle at Godswamp Pharmacy had attracted the attention of too many divine guards, Han Shuo and Rose did not encounter too many obstructions. The few divine guards they encountered along the way did not even dare to stop them. They would automatically give way to Han Shuo and Rose when they appeared. After Han Shuo and Rose disappeared from sight, they hastily sent word to their Divine Guard Chiefs.
Therefore, the whereabouts of Han Shuo and Rose had never escaped the grasp of the Hushveil City divine guards. The patriarchs of the major family clans and City Lord Hofs were the first to learn of Han Shuo's intentions. They all headed towards the city gate.
Rose closely followed behind Han Shuo. After the two had fought a bloody battle, she gradually gained an unusual level of trust in Han Shuo. The fact that Han Shuo could calmly and unhurriedly fight his way out of the encirclement gave Rose a great deal of confidence. Just like Phoebe, Fanny, and the others, Rose, who thought that she was going to die for sure, began to trust Han Shuo blindly.
As she followed behind Han Shuo and looked at Han Shuo's majestic back, not only did Rose not feel the slightest fear, she even felt a little excited. She could not wait to continue killing and challenge the true experts of Hushveil City!
Han Shuo's brows were tightly bunched. He knew that all the experts of Hushveil City must have been mobilized by now. Perhaps there were experts from the nearby city gates. It would not be easy to escape from Hushveil City unharmed. Han Shuo was thinking about what he should do next.
Before Han Shuo and Han Shuo got close to the city gates, he sensed something unusual from the surrounding energy towers. The power of the boundary that enveloped the entire Hushveil City had suddenly increased. The energy towers and boundary towers in the city glowed brightly as they activated all the energy crystals in them, strengthening and strengthening the boundary around Hushveil City.
Just like in the City of Shadows, there were only a few openings in the city gates. There was no way that Han Shuo alone could break through the boundary formed by hundreds and thousands of energy towers and boundary towers. Therefore, he had no choice but to use the openings in the city gates to escape.
However, those city gates would normally be guarded by nearly a thousand divine guards when there were no major incidents. Tonight, the city gates would be even more heavily guarded. Han Shuo understood that by the time he arrived at that city gate, he would be in for a bloodbath that was unavoidable.
Only by escaping from Hushveil City in a bloody battle would his journey to Hushveil City come to a perfect end. Otherwise, Han Shuo would have no choice but to use the Demonic Blood Disassembly to escape. Rose, on the other hand, would undoubtedly die. Not only would she die, but she would also be subjected to the inhumane torture of Hushveil City before she died.
Han Shuo put on a gloomy face and did not say a word. As he hurried on, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Rose.
To Han Shuo's surprise, Rose, who had been treating Han Shuo coldly, put on a sweet smile when Han Shuo turned to look at her. In a somewhat excited manner, she said, "I know. We will definitely make it out of Hushveil City alive!"
Han Shuo was stunned. On one hand, it was because of Rose's attitude towards him. On the other hand, it was because of Rose's baseless confidence.
Rose, who had always been cold and indifferent to Han Shuo, had an outstanding appearance to begin with. Her sweet smile made Han Shuo momentarily absent-minded. For some reason, he was confident that they would be able to escape unscathed. However, his confidence was just as baseless as Rose's.
Because of Rose's sweet smile, the invisible layer of ice between them seemed to have melted. Han Shuo, who was surrounded by all the experts in Hushveil City, suddenly felt that this journey had become interesting.
… …
The City Lord and the patriarchs of major family clans in Hushveil City had learned of the whereabouts of Han Shuo and Rose through various channels. These wily old foxes had guessed that Han Shuo was planning to barge through the city gate. They led their elite divine guards towards the city gate.
The House of Simon, one of the four major family clans of Hushveil City, was located very close to the city gate. The city gate was guarded by the House of Simon. When Westin, the patriarch of the House of Simon, received the news from the House of Hofley, he led the elite divine guards of the House of Simon to the city gate.
There were originally seven hundred divine guards stationed at the city gate. In addition to the five hundred most elite divine guards of the House of Simon, Westin had brought a total of one thousand three hundred divine guards. Every one of the five hundred elite divine guards of the House of Westin was a late-stage midgod.
The three highgod experts of the House of Simon in Hushveil City, other than the Chief of the Fourth Order, were all gathered at the city gate. As soon as Westin arrived, he calmly instructed, "Don't gather together. Spread out on both sides of the city gate and make a path. After the two enter the path, we will attack from both sides!"
Westin had learned from the Chief of the Fourth Order just how powerful Han Shuo and Rose were. He knew that Han Shuo and Rose were like trapped beasts. Crazed highgods were terrifying, especially two of them!
Under Westin's instruction, the House of Simon's divine guards dispersed and cleared a path leading to the city gate. The divine guards spread out on both sides of the path and looked ahead with cold eyes, waiting for Han Shuo and Rose to walk right into the trap.
"Brother-in-law, with this, our House of Simon will have two Chief of Divine Guards. I should be the one to fill Eugene's vacant position!" Anker was a cultivator of the energy of death. He had been in charge of the Northern Fortress for less than a hundred years. He had returned to the House of Simon because he coveted Eugene's position as Chief of Divine Guards. Originally, Westin had told him that Hofs would never give the position to his House of Simon. Anker, who was utterly disappointed, did not hold any hope. Little did he expect that such a major event would happen in Hushveil City and cause Hofs to suddenly change his mind. Anker was rather excited and couldn't control his emotions.
Westin shot a glance at Anker and said in a deep voice, "That will have to wait for the two to kill. Don't think that this matter is in the bag. Who knows, there might be an accident along the way!"
Anker chuckled, shook his head, and replied, "What accident can there be? Even if the two of them possess the strength of the City Lord, it will be impossible for them to break out of our encirclement of more than a thousand men. Besides, we have five hundred of our House of Simon's most elite divine guards with us! "
After hearing Anker's words, Westin, who had been calmly waiting for Han Shuo and Rose to arrive, felt that Anker's words made sense. He was very confident in the elite divine guards of his House of Simon. There was no way that the two of them could break out of the encirclement.
"I'm not worried that they will break out of the encirclement." Westin put on a faint smile and said, "I'm just worried that the two will immediately turn around and leave. That way, the other family clans will benefit from it!"
Anker stared blankly for a moment before he agreed, "That's right. We have more than a thousand men here. As long as they aren't fools, they will definitely retreat after they get here. Brother-in-law, it seems that we should give them some hope. Otherwise, the other family clans will benefit from it!"
Westin nodded, thought for a moment, and instructed, "Fourth Team, Sixth Team, and Seventh Team, spread out further. Find a building and hide yourselves. First Team and Second Team, stay at the city gate. Don't scare the intruders away!"
Following Westin's instructions, the elite divine guards of the House of Simon spread out even further. They did their best to hide themselves in buildings and followed Westin's instructions.
Soon, the House of Simon's divine guards became more and more dispersed. Many of their divine guards also disappeared into the darkness.
Westin was secretly relieved. He waved his hand and said, "Come, let's go to the energy towers nearby. Don't let anyone know that we have already arrived. We don't want them to retreat without a fight!"
Anker and another highgod of the House of Simon, Chandler, nodded in agreement after hearing Westin's words. They hastily followed Westin and hid in the energy towers nearby, fearing that they would alert the enemy and ruin their plan.
Just as the House of Simon's divine guards made their arrangements, Han Shuo and Rose arrived.
Han Shuo sneered coldly in his mind. The demon generals who arrived ahead of Westin had heard every word of their conversation. How could they possibly hide their intentions from Han Shuo?
However, Westin's arrangement was exactly what Han Shuo wanted. If all the divine guards of the House of Simon were to gather at the city gate, it would be very troublesome for Han Shuo and Rose to force their way through. But now that Westin had his divine guards spread out, it gave Han Shuo the perfect opportunity.
Sometimes, a good strategy could be used over and over again. As long as the timing was right, it could yield miraculous results.
With one thought, Han Shuo transmitted a command to Cauldron Spirit. The two demon generals transformed into Han Shuo and Rose and charged towards the city gate. As soon as they arrived at the area, the two demon generals were startled. They vigilantly gazed at the place where the House of Simon divine guards were hiding.
Han Shuo and Rose's faces jolted. They glanced at each other and turned around at the same time. The expressions on their faces were impeccable and flawless even when viewed from afar.
Westin and Anker's hearts sank. They fixed their gazes on Han Shuo and Rose and saw the changes in the demon generals' expressions.
They are indeed experts! They had discovered the divine guards hiding in the dark as soon as they arrived. It seems that the situation is not looking good! Westin and Anker were startled. As soon as the thought came to their minds, the two demon generals who had transformed into Han Shuo and Rose retreated the way they came. They had retreated!
"Goddamnit, chase after them!" Before Westin could react, Anker, who was waiting to take over Eugene's position as Chief of Divine Guards, took the lead and charged out of the energy tower. Those divine guards who were hiding in the dark immediately followed Anker and chased after the two demon generals.
Rose put on a delighted face and softly cried out, "We did it!"
Han Shuo was as calm as ever. Using his two most powerful demon generals, he saw that Westin did not follow Anker out of the energy tower. This patriarch of the House of Simon was clearly not an impulsive person. Perhaps he had discovered something unusual, but not only did Westin not follow Anker out of the energy tower, he even instructed, "Team One, Team Two, and Team Five, stay here. This is the only way for them. They won't give up so easily!"
If they missed this golden opportunity, the city gates of Hushveil City would be locked even tighter and the security would be even tighter. Westin believed that Han Shuo and Rose would not let go of this opportunity to break out of the encirclement tonight. Therefore, he did not go out with Anker.
As the two demon generals were rather far away, Westin did not know that Han Shuo and Rose were just illusions. The reason why he was so certain was because of his many years of intuition.
As the patriarch of the House of Simon, Westin had experienced many trials and tribulations. The experience he had accumulated through countless battles was a great asset. Sometimes, such experience was even more important than one's strength.
This time, Sicar had made the right bet by relying on his past experiences. But was this his good luck or bad luck? It was not up to him to decide!
Following Sicar's instructions, a portion of the House of Simon divine guards stayed behind and were on high alert.
The other highgod, Chandler, did not leave either. He only followed Sicar's lead. Seeing that Sicar did not leave, he did not make any rash moves. He silently hid in an energy tower nearby and observed the changes below with cold eyes.
"There are still some who have not left!" Rose had also noticed the danger at the city gate. She said in a low voice, "And it seems that there are more than just those divine guards at the city gate. Something is not right!"
"There are two Highgods hiding in the two energy towers nearby!" Han Shuo pointed at the two energy towers and said in a low voice, "We don't have the time to compete with them in patience. The experts from the other major family clans of Hushveil City should be converging on this place. We have to get there before Anker returns. Be careful, the highgods in the two energy towers might suddenly attack. Don't let them injure you!"
"Ready to move?" asked Rose in a rather excited manner.
Han Shuo nodded indifferently. The demon generals that were hiding in the dark started drifting towards the House of Simon's divine guards that were hiding at the city gates. After the demon generals turned invisible, they carefully avoided the two highgods Simon and Chandler. Therefore, they did not attract the attention of the divine guards hiding at the city gates.
"Let's go!" shouted Han Shuo in a deep voice. With an ice-cold face, he dashed towards the city gate at top speed.
"They have come!" Westin's pupils contracted. He was overjoyed. He immediately focused all his attention on Han Shuo and Rose who had appeared out of nowhere. He was ready to attack at any moment.
Those House of Simon divine guards hiding in the dark were all excited. They were greatly impressed by their patriarch Westin's judgment. They were not the least bit afraid when they saw Han Shuo and Rose charging at them. They felt that under Westin's leadership, they would surely be able to slay Han Shuo and Rose.
Following Westin's instructions, the path leading to the city gate was deliberately left open for Han Shuo and Rose to enter.
Han Shuo knew what Westin was planning. However, he had no other choice. He had to force his way out of the city gate. Therefore, he had to go through that path!
Seventeen flying swords whistled across the sky. Amidst the scalp numbing whistling noises, Han Shuo and Rose followed behind the seventeen flying swords.
Han Shuo knew that there were many divine guards lying in ambush around the path. The seventeen flying swords, as though they had eyes of their own, purposefully flew towards the secluded corners and killed the divine guards who thought they were hiding.
At the same time, the demon generals that were scattered around the divine guards materialized into blurry shadows and attacked their targets. Caught off guard, many divine guards of the House of Simon were struck by the demon generals and killed in an instant.
The ghostly wails and wolf howls resounded. Although the divine guards knew the weaknesses of the demon generals beforehand, they were powerless against the sudden attack. The demon generals usually attacked in large groups and did not give the divine guards any chance to react. They were killed in an extremely short period of time.
The elite divine guards of the House of Simon were hiding in the dark. However, Han Shuo's attacks seemed to have eyes of their own as they targeted those divine guards who were hiding in the dark. The demon general's sudden transformation was even more stealthy than the divine guards. The divine guards were caught off guard and let out miserable shrieks.
Westin wore an astonished face on his energy tower. He did not expect that Han Shuo could have such miraculous foresight. Seeing that the divine guards hiding in the dark were being ambushed by the demon generals, Westin immediately issued a new order, "Stop hiding and come out! These two are determined to break through the city gate today. I would like to see how they are going to kill their way out!"
Han Shuo and Rose advanced at high speed. They constantly dealt with the long-range attacks from the divine guards around them. Han Shuo released the Jadeflame Shuttle, Poison Dragon Cloud Net, Green Phosphorous Gravel, and Banner of Hallucination and sent them flying towards the divine guards in all directions.
The Jadeflame Shuttle whizzed past while the Poison Dragon Cloud Net descended from the sky. The poisonous cloud was as corrosive as the seventeen flying swords. The Green Phosphorous Gravel incinerated anything it came into contact with. The Banner of Hallucination had folded the figures of Han Shuo and Rose into many different shapes.
In an instant, many divine guards were affected by the Cyan Demonblaze Shuttle, Venomous Dragon Cloud Net, and Green Phosphorous Sand. The demonic weapons that Han Shuo had repeatedly tempered were more and more vicious than the last. They were extremely lethal to their divine bodies and divine souls. For a moment, the divine guards were thrown into confusion. Many of them were engulfed in flames. Some were impaled by the Cyan Demonblaze Shuttle while others were entangled by the Venomous Dragon Cloud Net and turned into skeletons.
The Banner of Hallucination had folded into many different shapes. The attacks coming from all directions were indistinguishable. The pressure on Han Shuo and Rose was greatly reduced. They continued to charge forward.
With the support of the many demonic weapons, the two arrived at the city gate in no time. There were naturally more divine guards at the city gate. The city gate was locked from the inside. It became Han Shuo's last hurdle.
Han Shuo took out a large handful of Pearls of Annihilation and threw them at the city gate without even looking at them. Ever since he had used the Pearls of Annihilation, Han Shuo had become very interested in explosive demonic weapons. He had learned a new method from Cauldron Spirit that increased the power of the Pearls of Annihilation by several times.
After throwing a large handful of Pearls of Annihilation, the entire Hushveil City seemed as though it was about to collapse. Earth-shattering explosions sounded from the city gate. Many divine guards were sent flying in all directions. It was a gruesome sight to behold.
The city gate was blasted open by the dozens of Pearls of Annihilation!
