The violent explosion from the city gate instantly blasted dozens of divine guards into pieces of flesh and blood. The earth-shattering rumble alerted everyone nearby. The city gate of Hushveil City could not withstand such a violent explosion and was blasted wide open.
"Run!" Shouted Han Shuo in a deep voice. He raised the power of his various demonic weapons to the limit and attacked the House of Simon divine guards that were surrounding them from the dark.
Westin and Chandler flew down from the energy towers and attacked Han Shuo and Rose at the same time.
The seventeen flying swords suddenly appeared in front of Han Shuo. The seventeen flying swords interweaved into a curtain of light that completely blocked the area in front of Han Shuo, preventing Casey and Chandler from attacking.
Rose knew that Han Shuo's main purpose was to buy time for her. As long as Westin and Chandler were stopped, the ordinary divine guards with their demonic weapons and demon generals wouldn't be able to effectively stop her.
Despite being in such a perilous situation, Han Shuo was willing to take the risk to buy time for her. This gave Rose a wonderful feeling. She turned her head to look at Han Shuo who was wearing a cold and callous face as he intercepted Westin and Chandler with his seventeen flying swords. Traces of gratitude appeared in Rose's eyes. She turned around and left.
While Han Shuo was obstructing Westin and Chandler, and while the divine guards around her were being bombarded by demon generals and demonic weapons, Rose successfully passed through the broken city gate and arrived outside of Hushveil City.
The seventeen flying swords crisscrossed and suddenly stopped above Han Shuo's head. Han Shuo's heart sank. He immediately turned around and flew out of Hushveil City.
"Go to hell!" A furious roar sounded from afar. A jet-black spear streaked across the sky like a bolt of black lightning. It carried an astonishing amount of darkness energy and suddenly attacked Han Shuo.
As soon as Westin and Chandler heard the roar behind them, they simultaneously launched attacks at Han Shuo with all their might in an attempt to stop Han Shuo.
Westin was a mid-stage highgod and Chandler was an early-stage highgod. Although it wasn't easy for Han Shuo to deal with them, it wasn't too much of a problem. The seventeen flying swords intertwined behind Han Shuo like streaks of lightning and dispersed Westin and Chandler's attacks.
However, the jet-black spear possessed astonishing power. It was rather difficult to deal with the lightning-fast attack of the spear. At this moment, with so many divine guards surrounding the city gate, if Han Shuo were to turn around and deal with the spear behind him, he might not have the chance to leave the city.
The seventeen flying swords that had dispersed Westin and Chandler's attacks did not have the time to return to Han Shuo's back. However, the spear was still flying at him like a shadow. Han Shuo steeled his heart. Instead of turning around to deal with the spear, he charged at the city gate that had yet to be fully sealed by the new divine guards.
Han Shuo's two hands were constantly moving forward to deflect the incoming attacks. Invincible Omen Body was automatically activated. Even if an ordinary midgod's attack landed on his Invincible Omen Body, it would not cause any damage to him.
"Bang!" The spear whizzed through the air and pierced at Han Shuo's back. The Demonslayer Edge shot out from the torn clothes on his back and blocked the spear.
A surge of ferocious darkness divine energy suddenly surged into Han Shuo's back from the Demonslayer Edge. The Invincible Omen Body instantly withstood the assault of the darkness divine energy. The all-out attack from Hofs, the City Lord of Hushveil City, was no trivial matter. Even the Invincible Omen Body could not neutralize all the energy.
The area on Han Shuo's back suddenly caved in as though it was pierced by a sharp awl. Han Shuo tasted something sweet in his mouth. Two streaks of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Han Shuo immediately knew that he had been injured by the all-out attack from the late-stage highgod City Lord.
Fortunately, the Invincible Omen Body had neutralized most of the energy. Otherwise, the attack would have pierced through Han Shuo's back and rendered him unable to fight on the spot.
Two streaks of blood flowed out from Han Shuo's back. Han Shuo took a quick look at his body and immediately realized that his injuries were not serious. With the help of Hofs' attack, Han Shuo flew even faster towards the city gate. It was at this moment that the seventeen flying swords returned from Westin and Chandler to help Han Shuo fend off the attacks from the surrounding divine guards.
Han Shuo's figure flashed through the open city gate like a bolt of lightning. Outside the gate, Rose was waiting anxiously.
"The City Lord of Hushveil City is here. Let's go!" Shouted Han Shuo. He grabbed Rose's hand and activated the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens using Cauldron Spirit's energy. Together with Rose, they rapidly disappeared into the distance.
Hofs, the City Lord of Hushveil City, was a late-stage highgod. With the help of the seventeen flying swords and Cauldron Spirit's energy, Han Shuo believed that his strength would not be inferior to Hofs'.
However, Hofs had brought several highgods of Hushveil City with him. Simon and Chandler were also waiting at the city gate. The patriarchs and highgods of two other family clans were also rushing towards the city gate. As long as Han Shuo wasn't crazy, he would know that it would be unwise to fight them at the city gate at this time.
If he were to be surrounded by so many highgods, Han Shuo would have absolutely no chance of breaking out of the encirclement other than using the Blood Disassembly. The Blood Disassembly was too damaging to his demonic body and demonic arts. Han Shuo would not use it unless absolutely necessary, especially when his cultivation of demonic arts was progressing at a slow pace.
Rose possessed mid-stage highgod strength. Although her speed was much faster than an average person, Han Shuo believed that she was still inferior to Hofs who was also a late-stage highgod of darkness. Han Shuo, who was flying at full speed with the help of Cauldron Spirit's energy, was much faster. Therefore, Han Shuo had to pull Rose away from the city gate.
The two demonic figures flashed outside Hushveil City and rapidly disappeared into the thicket of ancient trees and shrubs.
Hofs, along with his family clan experts and Simon, closely followed Han Shuo and Han Shuo. Hofs wore a malevolent face. As he flew, he shouted, "Search! I have shot that youngster with my spear. He won't be able to get far! Whoever kills them will be the one to fill the gap left by Eugene's death! "
It was at this moment that the patriarchs of the other two family clans finally arrived. They happened to hear Hofs' shout. The two patriarchs who were still shocked by the tragic scene at the city wall immediately led their family clan divine guards and chased after Han Shuo and Han Shuo.
Hofs took the lead. He, Westin, Chandler, and a few other highgods flew at high speed towards the direction Han Shuo and Han Shuo had escaped.
Hushveil City had been plunged into chaos and countless divine guards were killed. Not only that, the intruders had managed to break into Hushveil City. If word of this were to spread, Hofs would be utterly humiliated in the Darkness Dominion. The status of the House of Hofley in Hushveil City would also be questioned. This was the last thing Hofs wanted.
Westin, the patriarch of the House of Simon, too, was filled with rage. The House of Simon was in charge of guarding the city gate. Yet, Han Shuo and Han Shuo had killed their way out of their tight encirclement. This was a great humiliation to the House of Simon. Given Hofs' temper, he would surely seek revenge.
Most importantly, the House of Simon had just lost more than two hundred elite divine guards. The earth-shattering explosion at the city gate alone had killed nearly a hundred of their divine guards. Those elite divine guards had been painstakingly recruited by the House of Simon for tens of millions of years. Each and every one of them was incomparably precious. How could the House of Simon not be enraged by the loss of more than two hundred of their elite divine guards?
The experts of Hushveil City left the city and entered the vast mountain range in the vicinity with various motives.
Without the ubiquitous energy towers and energy boundaries, the mountain range was now filled with towering ancient trees and towering mountain peaks that reached into the clouds. Concealment was everywhere. For the experts of Hushveil City, the difficulty of finding a single person in the mountain range had increased by a hundred times.
… …
At first, Rose, whose hand was pulled by Han Shuo, was very nervous about Hofs, the City Lord of Hushveil City, chasing after them. But gradually, Rose noticed that the highgods of Hushveil City were getting further and further away from them. Not only did Han Shuo not slow down, he even increased his speed. It was as though he knew every region of the mountain range like the back of his hand. He constantly changed his position as he traveled, widening the gap between him and Han Shuo.
Rose was relieved.
With that, Rose could think about other things. Then, she discovered that her delicate hand was tightly grasped by Han Shuo's big and rough hand. Han Shuo's big hand was thick and warm. His meridians were pulsating vigorously. Rose suddenly felt that her palm was covered with sweat. She immediately realized that she had been overly nervous.
With some peculiar emotions in her heart, Rose turned her head to look at Han Shuo, who was right in front of her. She discovered that Han Shuo's face was calm and unwavering. Blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth, but he was still confident. His face was as angular as a sculpture, brimming with the toughness and callousness that a man should have.
Even the blood stains on the corners of Han Shuo's mouth seemed to be filled with charm. Rose, who was about to wipe the blood stains off Han Shuo's mouth, did not act rashly. Instead, she stared blankly at Han Shuo. For a moment, her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
Perhaps, only a man like Han Shuo could stand proudly above everyone else!
Rose thought to herself. After going through so much with Han Shuo, not only did she no longer have any prejudice against Han Shuo, she even admired Han Shuo's tenacious and indomitable character. He was decisive, steady, unscrupulous, unscrupulous in achieving his goals, and would never give up. All these qualities were concentrated on a single person. How could a person like him not succeed when he still had unlimited potential and terrifying strength?
Han Shuo did not pay any attention to Rose who was beside him. He continued flying at high speed with a calm face. He sneered in his heart and listed Hushveil City as his new enemy. What Han Shuo and Rose had done in Hushveil City today would shock the entire Hushveil City. Even if Han Shuo and Rose changed their appearances and went into hiding, their identities would be discovered by Hofs sooner or later.
Hushveil City would not let such a great humiliation go so easily. A grudge had been formed. What Han Shuo was thinking about was how to deal the greatest blow to Hushveil City's strength so that Hofs and his family clan would have no time to deal with Han Shuo, the malefic star of Hushveil City.
Suddenly, Han Shuo turned around and said to Rose in a deep voice, "We are the hunters in the mountain range. They have chased us for so long that they have dispersed. Now, the stage is ours!"
