As soon as they escaped from Hushveil City, it meant that Han Shuo and Rose were safe and sound. There were plenty of cover in the vast mountain range and there was no boundary that shrouded the sky. Han Shuo and Rose were like fish swimming in the sea. They no longer had to worry about being surrounded.
Instead of rushing forward desperately, Han Shuo and Rose used the omnipresent vision of demon generals to weave through the forest in search of the best hiding spot.
A rock wall shrouded in mist became Han Shuo and Rose's temporary hiding spot. Han Shuo and Rose stood still on the rock wall. Han Shuo let out a soft sigh and smilingly said, "The mist is thick. Unless an expert like Hofs comes, no one will be able to detect our presence. Let's take a break and wait for those from Hushveil City to arrive. "
The pursuers from Hushveil City had been left far behind by Han Shuo. It would take some time for them to arrive. Han Shuo and Rose could take this opportunity to rest and wait for the pursuers.
"Can you let go of me now?" asked Rose softly with her head lowered.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. It was only then that he realized that he was still holding onto Rose's hand. Han Shuo immediately let go of her hand and sat cross-legged on the ground. He closed his eyes and tried to adjust his breathing.
"How are your injuries? Are you alright? "Rose hesitated for a moment before she asked in a soft voice.
Han Shuo opened his eyes and looked at Rose. He smilingly shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"Thank you for stopping them and letting me escape," said Rose.
Han Shuo could sense the change in Rose's attitude. Han Shuo, who was used to Rose's silence and cold words, was not used to Rose's sudden concern. Startled, Han Shuo said indifferently, "I'm not used to letting the people around me die. Besides, I'm also confident that I can rush out. You don't have to worry too much about it."
After saying that, Han Shuo closed his eyes again, his face full of concentration.
Rose, who was about to say something, saw that Han Shuo had begun to focus on restoring his strength, did not continue to disturb Han Shuo. She just quietly watched Han Shuo from the side. For some reason, Rose felt very at ease when she and Han Shuo were in such a cloud-shrouded rock wall. There was also an indescribable sense of comfort.
The corners of Rose's mouth curled into a faint smile. She too had calmed down contentedly. She sat beside Han Shuo and began to restore the divine energy she had consumed in Hushveil City.
… …
Hofs put on a gloomy face and furiously roared, "Search! Find them even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
After searching for a long time, Hofs and his party did not even see a shadow of Han Shuo. The experts of the three major family clans who had chased after Hofs began to doubt if he had actually hit the murderer.
According to Hofs, he had struck the assassin's back with all his might. Given Hofs' late-stage highgod strength, as long as the attacker was not an overgod, there was no way he would be unaffected by such an attack. Even a late-stage highgod like Hofs would be seriously injured if he were to be struck by such an attack.
There was no way that a heavily injured highgod could remain unaffected. After such a long pursuit, the murderer would surely show signs of fatigue and eventually be killed on the spot.
However, the reality was vastly different from what they had expected. Not only was the murderer not affected by the attack, but he was also moving faster and faster. After a long period of pursuit, he had left them far behind, causing them to lose track of the murderer. This was clearly not in line with Hofs's statement.
If Hofs wasn't the City Lord of Hushveil City and the patriarch of the House of Hofley, these people would have jumped out to reprimand Hofs. They would have accused him of incompetent command, of not understanding the situation, and of lying.
"City Lord, this mountain range is too vast. Now that the target has disappeared, it would be inappropriate for us to search like a swarm of bees. Why don't we split up and search in groups of family clans? Although the two possess extraordinary strength, our family clans can definitely take them down. At the very least, we can send out a signal. What do you think, my Lord? "suggested the patriarch of the House of Granro.
Hofs, who had been blinded by anger, immediately knew that this was the most appropriate method given the current situation. He put on a gloomy face and nodded. He said, "Alright, we will split up and search in groups of family clans. Once we find any traces of the two, send out a signal immediately."
Westin, who had lost more than two hundred of his family clan's elite divine guards, had been waiting for those words from Hofs. Without a word, he signaled his family clan's divine guards with his eyes and was the first to leave with his family clan's divine guards. Shortly after, the other two family clans also left Hofs' side and started searching in different directions.
With that, the four major family clans of Hushveil City, including Hofs, split up into four groups and continued searching. As the search progressed, the four groups of divine guards gradually split up again. The situation was somewhat similar to the time when Han Shuo toyed with the godhunters.
Night was gradually replaced by day. When the scorching sun hung high in the sky, the distance between the four major family clans grew larger and larger.
… …
The dazzling rays of the scorching sun penetrated through the layers of mist and shone on Han Shuo who was sitting on the cliff wall. Suddenly, Han Shuo opened his eyes and cried, "Someone is coming!"
Rose, who had been cultivating in silence, blinked her long eyelashes. Her beautiful eyes appeared before Han Shuo. She looked at Han Shuo and said, "We'll do as you say!"
After fighting side by side with Han Shuo in Hushveil City, Rose was thoroughly impressed by Han Shuo. She no longer doubted Han Shuo's ability to carry out his missions. Rose's words fully proved that she had complete faith in Han Shuo.
"It's the House of Simon. Hehe, this family clan is really unlucky. They just have to bump into us every time!" Han Shuo grinned and stood up. He said to Rose, "This time, we will hunt that highgod named Anker!"
"Yay!" Rose cried out in excitement. She stood up after Han Shuo and asked, "How do we do it?"
"Follow me!" Han Shuo made his way through the mist and slowly descended into the dense forest below. He avoided the eyes and ears of the divine guards in the vicinity and stealthily headed towards Anker with Rose.
The reason why he chose Anker was that Anker cultivated in the energy of death. To Han Shuo, as a cultivator of the energy of death, the divine energy of death in Anker's body could be of use to Han Shuo.
The demon generals had long been watching Anker and observing his every move. Anker had shown too much greed for the position of Chief of Hushveil City Divine Guards and was unable to control his desires. Han Shuo had seen through Anker's impatience back in Hushveil City. Therefore, he had used an illusion to deceive Anker.
After entering the mountain range, Anker became even more impatient. He constantly yelled at his subordinates to spread out and search further.
Given the strength of these divine guards, even a dozen of them wouldn't stand a chance against Han Shuo and Rose. Anker's orders clearly showed that he did not care about the lives of his divine guards. Perhaps he was hoping that Han Shuo and Rose would kill those divine guards and expose their whereabouts so that he could lead more divine guards to encircle and annihilate them.
Having missed the scene of Han Shuo and Rose killing divine guards, Anker had yet to realize just how terrifying Han Shuo and Rose were. At this moment, Anker's greatest wish was for Han Shuo and Rose to appear as soon as possible so that he would have the opportunity to obtain the position of Chief of Hushveil City Divine Guards.
Perhaps the Creator Deities had been moved by the hope in his heart, Han Shuo and Rose's silhouettes gradually appeared in the distance. They were walking towards Han Shuo step by step.
Anker was overjoyed. After praising the Creator Deities in his heart, he immediately shouted, "Kill them!"
These divine guards of Anker's had charged out of Hushveil City together with him. Just like Anker, they did not know just how terrifying Han Shuo and Rose were. Yet, under Anker's command, they charged out fearlessly. Their hearts were filled with excitement.
Han Shuo nodded at Rose. Taking advantage of the fact that the divine guards of the House of Simon had yet to approach, he flew towards Anker smilingly. Before Anker's excited smile could fade away, the seventeen flying swords whizzed out from his body and enveloped Anker.
Before Anker could even attack, he discovered that he had fallen into an evil dimension. Evil energies that he had never seen or heard of were surging towards him from all directions. He felt as though he was a small boat in the middle of a stormy sea. He suddenly felt that he was very close to death.
It was only at this moment that Anker realized that he had made a mistake, a very big mistake!
But it was a pity that his regret came a little too late. Anker, who had just recently become a highgod, could not withstand the frenzied corrosion of Han Shuo's seventeen flying swords. The divine energy in his body was rapidly draining and his life force was growing weaker and weaker.
Han Shuo's avatar of death suddenly flew out from his body and shot towards Anker who was in the middle of the seventeen flying swords. Meanwhile, his avatar of destruction flew towards a midgod of destruction who had been seriously injured by Rose. He launched a sneak attack from behind and subdued that person.
In an instant, the two avatars simultaneously started to absorb the divine energy in the bodies of their subdued victims.
At the same time, Han Shuo's mind and body were tranquil and calm. With the Demonic Blades, he assisted Rose in slaughtering the divine guards around her. Since Han Shuo had started devouring the divine guards, he could not leave any of them alive. Otherwise, if news of this were to spread, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.
The moment Han Shuo's mind and body calmed down, he seemed to have affected the other two avatars that were devouring the divine guards. In an instant, the divine souls of the two avatars and the consciousness of Han Shuo's main body formed a miraculous connection. The three symbiotic souls seemed to have fused together in an instant.
The Domains of Divinity of Death and Destruction suddenly formed from the two avatars that were devouring the divine guards. The two Domains of Divinity abruptly overlapped and rapidly fused together in a bizarre manner that no one could understand.
All of a sudden, a completely foreign Domain of Divinity was strangely generated. The edict of destruction energy surged all over the Domain of Divinity. The element of death in the surroundings started to pour into the Domain of Divinity at a speed that was several dozen times faster than usual. All the elements except for the element of death abruptly disappeared from around Han Shuo.
The strange changes were still going on …
