"I don't believe it!" Shouted Ralph. He turned to City Lord Wallace and said, "My Lord, I believe that one of the three is a highgod!"
Wallace bunched his brows and turned to look at Han Shuo.
"My Han family does not have that many highgods. Before entering the arena, they have all been inspected by the House of Sainte. I believe that if they possess highgod strength, they shouldn't be able to enter the arena. Lord Andre should have the right to say this, "said Han Shuo smilingly and nodded at Andre.
"That's right. My men will be in charge of that. Any team that enters the arena will have to inject their divine energy into the crystal used to test for divine energy. The fact that those three could enter the arena means that they are definitely not highgods! "said Andre confidently.
As the concentration of divine energy in the body of a highgod was different from that of a midgod, the crystal used to test for divine energy could identify a highgod through their divine energy. However, as Bollands, Sanguinar, and the others did not cultivate in the energy of this world, they naturally could not detect anything. Gilbert, on the other hand, was still in the lowgod realm.
Wallace no longer had any doubts after hearing Andre's assurance. He said in an indifferent tone, "Then there shouldn't be any problems. You two, don't say anything else!"
Ralph and Batúk stared blankly for a moment. Their faces were filled with puzzlement. Naturally, they would not believe that Andre would lie under such circumstances. It appeared that the trio really weren't highgods. However, if they weren't highgods, it would be unbelievable for them to be able to unleash such terrifying energy.
After hearing Andre's assurance, the crowd once again turned their gazes to Han Shuo. Their gazes were filled with astonishment and puzzlement. They could not understand why Han Shuo's Fifth Corps divine guards would be so outstanding!
While the battle was still ongoing, Bollands, Sanguinar, and Gilbert had broken through the layers of defenses of the Seventh Corps and arrived at the arena filled with sparkling divine essences.
To Bollands and the other two, seizing the divine crystal from the hands of the Seventh Corps was not too difficult. When they charged towards Tuno like a hot knife through butter, it almost meant that the Seventh Corps had lost the ability to resist them.
With Bollands, Sanguinar, and Gilbert leading the way, the Fifth Corps divine guards behind them formed a very tight defense. They blocked all attacks from the flanks and soon entered the central area protected by the Seventh Corps divine guards.
"Surround them!" Shouted Bollands in a cold voice. The divine guards at the rear immediately spread out and surrounded the Seventh Corps divine guards.
"Don't kill them!" Bollands instructed the divine guards to attack. Soon after, he nodded at Sanguinar and Gilbert.
Barnard and the other divine guards were in charge of providing cover. Their attacks rained down from the sky. Bollands and the other two took the opportunity to charge into the encirclement. Bollands and Sanguinar took the lead. Their killing intent was constantly overflowing from their bodies. The broadsword in Sanguinar's hand that was refined from Blood Crystals exploded with dazzling blood-red radiance. The blood flow of the Seventh Corps divine guards around them was disrupted, affecting the flow of their divine energy.
The broadsword had an amplifying effect on the Bloodgod Mantra. Sanguinar's skin was as red as blood and his eyes were blood-red. As he charged forward, the divine guards around him could no longer control the blood in their bodies. They retreated one after another.
Bollands's flying sword glittered with cold radiance. Specks of sword radiance that resembled starlight flashed and disappeared, forcing the divine guards to retreat.
As Sanguinar and Bollands cultivated in special demonic arts, their bodies gave off a strange and frightening aura. In addition to the killing intent emanating from their bodies, the Seventh Corps divine guards trembled with fear. They retreated as far as they could from the two.
Sanguinar and the other two arrived before the Seventh Corps divine guard who was in charge of guarding the divine essences. When the sword was pointed at the guard, he very cooperatively handed the divine essences to Sanguinar and Bollands. His eyes were filled with obvious reverence.
The teams at Soaring Cloud Mountain Range were just sparring. As divine guards of the City of Shadows, they naturally wouldn't make a big fuss about it. When he learned that the Seventh Corps had kicked an iron board and that their team had been easily dispersed, he knew that this would happen. Therefore, he did not put up any useless resistance.
His goal this time was to retrieve the divine essences. After obtaining the divine essences, Sanguinar immediately nodded and cupped his hands at the divine guard in a very courteous manner. He said, "Forgive me for offending you!"
The divine guard was rather flattered. He hastily replied, "You're welcome, you're welcome!" From his point of view, Sanguinar and the other two had gained the absolute upper hand. Under such circumstances, there was no need for the divine guard to be so courteous.
Sanguinar had followed Han Shuo for a long time and had gradually learned some of Han Shuo's shrewdness. He knew when to be bossy and domineering and when to display his poise. At the moment of victory, his demeanor, which was neither arrogant nor rash, was somewhat reminiscent of Han Shuo.
"I hope you can defeat those from the Second Corps!" the divine guard suddenly said when he saw that Sanguinar was about to leave after obtaining the divine essences.
"Don't worry, we will definitely defeat the Second Corps!" Gilbert laughed, his face full of savagery.
"Cut the crap. Let's go!" Bollands lightly shouted and took the lead to leave. Sanguinar and Gilbert closely followed behind.
After obtaining the divine essences, Bollands and the other two had demonstrated sufficient strength. Those from the Seventh Corps knew that they were no match for them and therefore, they did not put up any last-ditch struggle. They could only watch helplessly as Bollands and the other two left.
… …
At the sand table at the center of Soaring Cloud Mountain Range, Batúk forced a smile and shook his head. He said, "I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"
There was no fluke involved in this battle. From start to finish, the Fifth Corps had maintained an absolute advantage. They did not give Tuno and the others the slightest chance to retaliate. Although Batúk was somewhat indignant, when Bollands and the other two obtained the divine essences and did not harm a single person from the Seventh Corps, Batúk was relieved.
"Lord Batúk need not take it to heart. It was just a fluke!" Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said gently.
Anyone could see that the strength of the Fifth Corps had completely overwhelmed that of the Seventh Corps. There was no fluke involved at all. Everyone knew that Han Shuo was being modest. Batúk felt a little better when he saw that Han Shuo was not arrogant and modest. He shook his head with a wry smile and did not say anything else.
Erebus suddenly stepped forward and patted Han Shuo's shoulder. He said in a low voice, "You are truly unfathomable!" After a short pause, Erebus glanced at Ralph, who had an ugly expression on his face, and said softly, "It seems that what you said at Aobashi's place was not just arrogant talk!"
"Brian, take down the Second Corps!" Aobashi walked over from Andre's side and said in a low voice.
Han Shuo nodded with a calm smile and said confidently, "Don't worry. As long as the two sides fight, the Fifth Corps will definitely be the winner!"
"Hmph!" Ralph shot a cold glance at Han Shuo from not far away.
Everyone present could see that the Fifth Corps was the only force that could contend against the Second Corps. Ralph had always been unpopular. The strength of the Second Corps was the foundation that allowed him to gain a foothold in the City of Shadows. If the Second Corps were defeated by Han Shuo in the competition, it would definitely be a huge blow to Ralph.
Most of the people present were either rich or powerful. However, most of them disliked Ralph. In their hearts, they could not wait for Ralph to suffer a crushing defeat. Their gazes were filled with schadenfreude when they looked at Ralph.
"The Second Corps and the Fourth Corps are fighting!" Rugersey suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
The crowd, each with their own thoughts, immediately turned their attention back to the sand table. Through the map on the sand table, they could clearly see that the Second Corps was aggressively attacking the Fourth Corps. The Second Corps had always been ruthless. Although they did not kill anyone directly, injuring someone was a common occurrence for them.
On the way to the location of the Fourth Corps' divine essences, under Kiffin's leadership, the Second Corps divine guards who had survived the Massacre would surely injure at least one member of the Fourth Corps. In just a few moments, many of the Fourth Corps divine guards had their limbs broken.
As long as it was a competition, there would always be accidental injuries. In order to ensure that both sides could be at ease during the competition, there would be a quota for casualties. Although it was strictly forbidden to kill in a competition, minor injuries were still allowed.
One of the main reasons why the Second Corps had always been unpopular was due to the fact that they would injure people at every competition.
Everyone could see that the Second Corps was stronger than the Fourth Corps in terms of combat strength. With such a huge disparity in strength, the Second Corps could simply snatch the divine essences without injuring anyone. But the Second Corps divine guards did not do so. For those who did not even care about the lives of their comrades in the cruel training, injuring someone was already considered very merciful to them.
As the number of injured divine guards of the Fourth Corps increased, the Chief of Divine Guard Camilla's face grew uglier and uglier. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and stared at the sand table with a gloomy face. She hated Ralph to the bone!
In the same competition, Han Shuo's Fifth Corps divine guards did not injure a single one of Batúk's divine guards. Camilla, on the other hand, was feeling even more displeased. Batúk, on the other hand, was secretly rejoicing.
"It's the same every time!" Erebus softly sighed and muttered to himself, "There's clearly no need for him to injure people. Once he loses power in the City of Shadows, I'm afraid that everyone will come to kick him when he's down!"
Erebus' words seemed to imply something. Han Shuo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ralph. He thought to himself, This fella is indeed a lunatic. After today's competition, Han Shuo will have to make plans in advance to prevent Ralph from doing anything crazy.
The Second Corps was indeed not a force that the Fourth Corps could handle. After a dozen or so minutes, after injuring many of the Fourth Corps divine guards, the Second Corps had successfully plundered all the divine essences of the Fourth Corps.
After that, the Second Corps went out of control and plundered the divine essences of Rugersey's Sixth Corps. Then came Erebus' Third Corps. Although the Third Corps was slightly stronger than the Sixth and Fourth Corps, they were still no match for the Second Corps. After losing a dozen or so divine guards, the Third Corps was defeated.
Rugersey, Camilla, and Erebus wore ugly faces. Their eyes were glistening with killing intent when they looked at Ralph. However, Ralph remained unfazed.
It was at this moment that the Fifth Corps divine guards suddenly accelerated forward. They were charging towards the Second Corps from another direction.
The eyes of Wallace, Andre, Rugersey, Erebus, and the others suddenly lit up. They turned their attention to the Fifth Corps. They were looking forward to the clash between the Fifth and Second Corps!
