The surrounding divine guards were awed by the valiant strength displayed by Han Shuo. For a moment, none of them knew what to do. Only Rose, after taking a glance at Han Shuo, dashed over and joined the fray. She attacked one of the attackers who was entangled by a demon general and used the combined energy of the demon general to block the attacker's path of retreat.
"What are you waiting for? Help His Lordship get rid of these shameless attackers!" Shouted Bollands coldly. The long and slender flying sword refined by Han Shuo shot out erratically at another of the attackers.
Bollands's loud shout roused the terrified divine guards from their stupor. In an instant, all sorts of bizarre energies shot towards the other three attackers. Rays of light shot out from the battlefield as divine artifacts and divine power danced in the air, raining down on the attackers who were entangled by the demons.
The divine guards knew that the masked individuals possessed highgod strengths. Therefore, they did not dare to approach them and instead launched long-range attacks. While it was true that the divine guards were no match for any of the attackers individually, when dozens of them joined forces to attack a single person, the concentrated attack was more than enough to throw the attackers into confusion.
With the situation having developed to this stage, not only did the attackers fail to kill Han Shuo cleanly and efficiently, but they had also fallen into a tight encirclement. Han Shuo, Rose, and nearly a hundred divine guards were attacking simultaneously. Not to mention, there were also demon generals that filled the sky. Even the five highgods found it rather difficult to deal with the onslaught.
The five of them had to deal with Han Shuo and Rose's main attacks as though they were facing a formidable foe. They were overwhelmed by the rain of attacks from the divine guards. Three of them were struck by all sorts of divine weapons and divine energies, rapidly depleting the divine energy in their bodies.
The divine guards' divine energies were limited and they could not inflict serious injuries on the Divine Guards. However, their concentrated attacks were making the Divine Guards more and more flustered. Whenever the Divine Guards revealed an opening, the black mass of demon generals would immediately close in on them. The bizarre energy of the demon generals gave the Divine Guards a headache.
"Hehe, it won't be that easy to kill me!" With the divine guards and Rose joining the fray, the pressure on Han Shuo was greatly reduced. He continued to control the seventeen flying swords to besiege the shorty who was the strongest of the group. At the same time, he looked at the five with cold eyes and mocked.
As all five were wearing masks, Han Shuo could not figure out their true identities. Therefore, he tried to sound them out.
The five seemed to know what Han Shuo's intentions were. None of them answered. They were all in a flurry and did not have the leisure to waste with Han Shuo. They must be wondering how they could break out of the encirclement.
All of a sudden, the seventeen flying swords circled around the shorty and arrived behind the weakest attacker. Before he could react, the seventeen flying swords enveloped him. Immediately after, the first form of the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation, Avici Hell, was activated.
The shrill whistling of the seventeen flying swords tore at the eardrums. As soon as the Avici Hell was activated, dense yin qi and killing intent immediately enveloped the attacker. The seventeen flying swords whistled shrilly as they flew through the dense killing intent. The intense corrosive and cold toxins on the flying swords rapidly consumed the attacker's divine energy.
The strongest shorty was too difficult to deal with. Even if Han Shuo used the Avici Hell to entangle him, he would not be able to kill him in a short period of time. Therefore, Han Shuo changed his strategy and attacked the weakest of the attackers first.
Inside the Avici Hell, the darkness divine energy cultivator was unable to break out of the bizarre space formed by the Avici Hell. Instead, he was consuming more and more of his divine energy. He was only an early-stage highgod of darkness. He had consumed a great deal of his divine energy from the attacks of the demon generals and the divine weapons. Therefore, after being ambushed by Han Shuo, he began to show signs of fatigue.
After releasing the acidic and cold toxins, the seventeen flying swords streaked across the Avici Hell as though they were weaving some sort of net. Streaks of jet-black lightning sparkled in the net and sprinkled on the attacker's body. Wisps of cold air flowed into his body, causing his divine body to become stiffer and stiffer.
All of a sudden, the seventeen flying swords that were flying around him changed their trajectories and stabbed at his chest from seventeen different directions. With several "puff puff" sounds, streams of blood shot out from his chest. His eyes were suddenly filled with fear as his life force rapidly flowed out along with the blood splattering out from his chest.
The seventeen flying swords pierced through his chest, leaving seventeen bloody holes. They immediately changed their target and surrounded the short attacker who was trying to escape.
Previously, when the seventeen flying swords flew past the shorty, he seemed to have hesitated for a moment. But before he could make a decision, the divine guards around him launched a barrage of attacks at him. He had no choice but to deal with the divine guards' attacks.
Most importantly, there were demon generals surging towards him like a dark cloud. Among them, there were five demon generals in their strongest form, which were refined from the divine souls of Midgod. Mixed in the dark cloud of demon generals, the five demon generals posed a great threat to Ji Hao, blocking his way and preventing him from leaving the battlefield.
The seventeen flying swords were noticeably weaker than before. This was because the Cauldron of Myriad Demon had flown out of Han Shuo's body and collected the divine soul of the highgod who had just perished.
After the death of a god, one's divine soul must be collected as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the divine soul of a highgod would become a pure element that would fuse with the world. Therefore, the divine soul of a highgod had to be collected as soon as possible. Otherwise, the highgod might be able to escape using the omnipresent elemental energy.
While Han Shuo was controlling the seventeen flying swords to attack the short man, he was secretly observing the situation on the battlefield. Rose possessed mid-stage highgod strength. She was currently obstructing an expert of the same level. Coupled with the all-pervasive power of the demon generals, the man's eyes were filled with anxiety, but he was unable to escape.
Other than the shortie who was entangled by Han Shuo's seventeen flying swords and demon generals, the other two were barely holding their own against the attacks of the divine guards and demon generals. The two of them were facing the least pressure. It wasn't that they couldn't seize the opportunity to escape. However, the two of them did not dare to do so. They kept looking at the shortie who was entangled by Han Shuo's seventeen flying swords.
After observing for a moment, Han Shuo immediately knew that the shorty was the leader of the party. Without Han Shuo's instructions, the two attackers who had the chance to escape did not dare to act rashly. It was as though they were waiting for Han Shuo's orders.
Judging from the current situation, everything was still within Han Shuo's control. The party of five that came to attack Han Shuo had completely failed in their mission. Whether or not they could escape unscathed was a huge question. However, Han Shuo did not dare to let his guard down. He put all his strength into dealing with the shorty who cultivated in the edict of destruction.
He couldn't afford to let go of experts of this level. Otherwise, they would become a troublesome matter in the future. Especially when Han Shuo used the Hell of Avici to kill that highgod of darkness cultivator and removed his mask with his flying sword, Han Shuo discovered that he didn't recognize this person. Han Shuo had all the more reason to find out who these people were.
An unknown enemy was the scariest because you could never predict when they would act against you. Han Shuo wouldn't be too concerned if they were only targeting his own people. But now that the Han family had grown considerably and Han Shuo had deep ties with many members of the Han family in the City of Shadows, there was no way that Han Shuo would allow any of them to be killed.
In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, the simplest way was to wipe out all the enemies in the open and in the dark. Only by doing so could Han Shuo ensure that his family and friends would be safe!
After the Cauldron of Myriad Demon collected the highgod's divine soul, it once again returned to Han Shuo's body. With that, Han Shuo's strength was once again greatly enhanced. The shorty who was tightly entangled by the seventeen flying swords immediately felt the pressure on him increase tremendously. He who had been hesitating for a long time suddenly made up his mind.
The speckles on the gloves he wore on both his hands suddenly overflowed with dazzling glimmers. In an instant, the space around him began to distort rapidly. Layers upon layers of ripples spread out like water ripples. It was as though an independent dimension had been forcibly opened up. Many chaotic energies suddenly slid away from that region.
That shorty twisted and wriggled around like a fish. He magically slid to the side of the attacker who was fighting with Rose. A gorgeous curtain of light completely covered that region. Han Shuo suddenly shouted, "Rose, get back!"
Rose was startled. She immediately dodged and retreated from the curtain of light in an extremely thrilling manner.
The curtain of light gradually faded and suddenly became as colorless as the air. The most powerful shorty and the other attacker bizarrely disappeared. Intense spatial ripples spread from that region. A strange scroll emerged from it. When Han Shuo focused his attention on it, the scroll abruptly exploded.
"No!" Two cries of unwillingness and fear came from the two remaining attackers. The two attackers, who had been silent all this time, immediately knew that they had been abandoned when they saw the shorty leave with another person.
Facing the encirclement of Han Shuo, Rose, and nearly a hundred divine guards, the two hesitant attackers knew that their chances of survival were slim. Therefore, they couldn't help but shriek. Their voices were filled with unwillingness and despair!
"Tell me who you are and what you are here for. Perhaps I might be kind enough to spare your lives!" Han Shuo gestured with his hand, indicating for the divine guards to temporarily stop attacking. He approached the two attackers step by step and asked with a warm smile on his face.
The two attackers glanced at each other. Their eyes beneath their masks were filled with despair. They did not believe Han Shuo's words at all. They suddenly exerted all their strength to break out of the encirclement. It appeared that they had no intention of compromising with Han Shuo.
Han Shuo gestured again and smilingly said, "Kill them. These two are highgods. Have fun!"
The divine guards immediately became excited. With Han Shuo and Rose by their side, they were very relieved. They knew that the two attackers would not be able to escape alive. The experience of killing a highgod would greatly boost their confidence and morale. Naturally, they would not let go of this opportunity. They started bombarding the two highgods with savage smiles.
