Unlike Han Shuo, Hofs did not have two avatars and he did not have Cauldron Spirit's energy to borrow. Therefore, he could not fight the black hole and domain of divinity at the same time. Gradually, Hofs' domain of divinity was reduced to a very small area. The element of darkness in the surroundings no longer surged into his domain.
All of a sudden, Hofs felt remorseful. He began to feel that it was a mistake for him to come alone.
But unfortunately, this was not the time for regrets. No matter how much Hofs regretted his decision, he could not turn the situation around. All he could do was try his best to support the black hole with the aura of darkness.
Gradually, Hofs felt more and more exhausted. When the element of darkness within a radius of a hundred miles could no longer flow into his domain of divinity, his divine energy of darkness could no longer be replenished. Moreover, with Han Shuo's peculiar domain of divinity and the seventeen flying swords closing in on him, Hofs' divine energy was being digested to a great extent.
It would be great if those fellows came after hearing the commotion! Hofs suddenly had such a thought. He did not know if his luck had come, but the experts of Hushveil City seemed to have heard the cries in Hofs' mind.
Hofs, who was fully focused on defending against Han Shuo's terrifying attacks, was unaware of what was happening around him. But Han Shuo, who had the vision of his demon generals, discovered what was happening. Those experts were experts from several major family clans of Hushveil City. The few leading them possessed highgod strengths. These people must have heard the commotion between Han Shuo and Hofs.
They all knew how terrifying Han Shuo was. Therefore, when they arrived, they brought their family clan's divine guards with them. They formed a ring around Han Shuo and encircled him.
Rose was still unaware of the situation around her. She was still roaming around the vicinity as instructed by Han Shuo. Originally, Han Shuo hoped that Rose could help him hold off some midgod divine guards. But when those highgods rapidly approached, Han Shuo knew that Rose, who didn't know much about the situation around her, would suffer a calamity sooner than expected.
Although Hofs seemed to be on the losing side, he possessed late-stage highgod strength. Han Shuo could not kill Hofs in a short period of time.
Han Shuo's mind raced as he searched for a way to kill Hofs. Suddenly, Han Shuo instructed Cauldron Spirit in his consciousness, "Lend me more energy. I need to deploy the second form of the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation, Deicide Slash!"
"No!" Cauldron Spirit appeared rather appalled. It hastily explained, "The second form, 'Deicide Slash', requires a lot more energy to activate. Although I can give you more energy, your body definitely won't be able to withstand it. Once you use 'Deicide Slash', your demonic infant will most likely be injured!"
"I know what I have to do. Lend me more energy. and when my demonic infant reaches its limit, I, I Demonic Slash, I Deicide Demon Deity Demon Infant can't take it anymore," Hurry up, time is of the essence! "said Han Shuo impatiently.
Han Shuo was, after all, the master. Under Han Shuo's insistence, Cauldron Spirit had no choice but to channel more energy into Han Shuo's body.
In an instant, Han Shuo's eyes turned as red as blood. As more Cauldron Spirit's energy poured into his body, Han Shuo's demonic body was torn apart. The veins on his neck bulged as though they would explode at any moment.
The energy that was five times more intense than before filled his demonic body. Pain that was five times more intense assaulted his entire body. Han Shuo found the pain to be unbearable. His eyes turned red and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he roared at the sky like a ferocious beast. His deafening roar swept across all directions.
Ferocious demonic yuan frantically surged into the seventeen flying swords. The seventeen flying swords that formed the 'Avici Hell' suddenly shone brightly with dark radiance. Like seventeen enraged dragons, the seventeen flying swords slashed at Hofs from seventeen different directions, leaving long streaks of dark radiance behind them.
The dark radiance of the seventeen flying swords converged. Every time the seventeen flying swords converged, the killing intent of the seventeen flying swords grew denser. When the dark radiance from the seventeen flying swords formed a gigantic pillar, the seventeen flying swords finally hacked at the black hole formed by Hofs from all directions.
Earth-shattering killing intent surged out from the black hole. All of a sudden, an aura of destruction erupted. The seventeen flying swords seemed to have fused into one. The thick pillar of dark radiance formed by the seventeen flying swords fiercely bombarded the black hole. A deafening explosion suddenly sounded.
"Ahhh …" Hofs let out a miserable howl after the explosion.
The Deicide Slash had destroyed all the aura of darkness in the black hole. The power of the seventeen flying swords had merely slowed down for a moment before they continued on with unstoppable momentum. They blasted Hofs and his black spear deep into the ground. Hofs' right arm that was holding the black spear suddenly exploded into smithereens.
Hofs was buried deep into the ground after his right arm exploded. However, the black spear in his hand suddenly exploded into pieces of black iron sheet. It was unknown what material the black spear was made of but after it exploded, it formed a powerful boundary of darkness that blocked Han Shuo's Deicide Slash.
Cauldron Spirit's energy receded from Han Shuo's body like tidewater. Han Shuo vomited a mouthful of blood. At the next moment, Han Shuo realized that he could not fully unleash the Deicide Slash as his demonic infant had been injured. Cauldron Spirit knew that Han Shuo's demonic infant was injured. Therefore, it took the initiative to withdraw its energy from Han Shuo's body without waiting for Han Shuo to withdraw his energy.
The boundary of darkness that blocked the Deicide Slash was destroyed. At this moment, Hofs' injuries were even more serious than Han Shuo's. As long as he could borrow Ding Li's energy again, Han Shuo believed that he could definitely kill Hofs.
However, his body had just endured a force that was five times stronger than usual. His meridians and cells could no longer utilize Cauldron Spirit's energy before they fully recovered. Most importantly, the experts of Hushveil City had finally arrived. Han Shuo knew that if he did not leave now, not only would he fail to kill Hofs, he might even lose his life.
As Han Shuo had forced himself to use the Deicide Slash, his demonic body was severely damaged. Even his demonic infant, the foundation of his demonic cultivation, was slightly injured. If Han Shuo were to use the Demonic Blood Disassembly at this moment, it would be like adding hail to snow. It would take him at least a hundred years to fully recover.
Therefore, Han Shuo had no choice but to give up on attacking Hofs. He decisively flew towards Rose and said, "Let's go!"
The huge commotion caused by the battle between Han Shuo and Hofs had alarmed everyone in the vicinity. When the terrifying aura of the Deicide Slash spread far and wide, even Rose couldn't help but fly towards Han Shuo. She wanted to see what was going on with Han Shuo.
But before Rose could approach, Han Shuo had arrived beside her. As Han Shuo could not borrow Cauldron Spirit's energy this time, he could only fly at the same speed as Rose. Han Shuo did not grab Rose and carry her. When Rose saw that Han Shuo was rapidly fleeing with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, she was filled with worry but she did not say anything.
Not long after the two left, many experts of Hushveil City rushed to the scene from all directions. The earth-shattering explosions and Han Shuo's beast-like roar attracted everyone's attention. They were all frightened and their curiosity was piqued to the max.
When these experts finally arrived at the scene, they discovered that the place was a scene of devastation. A large area had been razed to the ground. There was a circular crater at the center of the crater. Rocks were scattered all over the crater. Intense killing intent still lingered in the center of the crater.
"Bang!" Rocks flew everywhere. Hofs, whose face was covered in dirt, emerged from the crater. He panted heavily as he stared at his surroundings.
"Patriarch, your, your right arm!" an expert of the House of Hofley cried out involuntarily.
Hofs' right arm was destroyed along with his spear. As Hofs did not possess Han Shuo's monstrous regenerative ability, his right arm was destined to be lost forever. The loss of his right arm would greatly affect Hofs' strength. The next time he encountered Han Shuo, he would be in an even more miserable state.
When the experts of the House of Hofley saw that Hofs had lost his right arm, their faces were filled with terror. The patriarchs of the other three major family clans of Hushveil City bunched their brows tightly. They had listed that young man who had disappeared without a trace as the most terrifying character they had ever encountered. They secretly decided that even if Hofs gave the order, they would do their best to avoid this grim reaper.
As the City Lord of Hushveil City, Hofs possessed late-stage highgod strength. He was the strongest expert in Hushveil City. If even he lost his right arm, who else could possibly be a match for that young man in a one-on-one fight?
While they were terrified of Han Shuo, the patriarchs of the three major family clans were secretly delighted. To them, one of the main reasons the House of Hofley was able to firmly occupy the position of the number one family clan in Hushveil City was because of Hofs' valiant strength.
But now that Hofs had lost his right arm, his strength would be greatly reduced. With that, the House of Hofley's influence in Hushveil City would be greatly reduced. That would give the three major family clans more opportunities.
"City Lord, what should we do?" Westin put on a solemn face and said in a sorrowful voice, "City Lord, your arm is more important. You should recover from your injuries first. Our three major family clans will do everything in our power to find the culprit!"
So many experts of Hushveil City had searched for Han Shuo but not a single trace of the culprit could be found. More than a hundred of his family clan divine guards had perished. Westin's words were obviously just empty words. Even he himself did not believe that he could capture Han Shuo.
"I'll return to the city first. I'll leave the rest to you!" Hofs put on a ferocious face. He looked like a lone wolf that had starved for a hundred years. He looked at the three patriarchs one by one and said, "You three major family clans will stay in the mountain range for the time being and search for the culprit!"
Upon finishing those words, Hofs gathered all his House of Hofley divine guards and returned to Hushveil City.
Han Shuo had lost an arm and his body had sustained serious injuries. He had to return to Hushveil City. On one hand, he had to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. On the other hand, he had to make arrangements to prevent the three major family clans from betraying him.
"Come, let's return to Hushveil City!" Now that the matter had come to an end, Han Shuo knew that Hofs was heavily protected and that he had lost his chance to strike again.
