Aobashi was a famous beauty in the City of Shadows and possessed outstanding strength. On top of that, she was the leader of the Seven Divine Guard Chiefs. Other than men of the same rank like Erebus, no one would dare to even think about courting her.
Aobashi was dressed in green clothes, her features were refined and elegant, and her body was curvaceous and graceful. No matter how one looked at her, Aobashi was a beauty. But as she was of noble status and possessed incomparably valiant strength, not many men dared to look at her with eyes full of charm.
'This is a woman that Erebus admires,' Han Shuo reminded himself. Then, following Aobashi's words, he put on a faint smile and said, "I have too many women by my side. I don't have that many foolish women sticking themselves to me. Lord Aobashi is not my type. Don't worry, Erebus."
After hearing Han Shuo's words, Aobashi shot a glance at him with her bright eyes and giggled softly. She said, "What are you afraid of? What do you need to prove? Do you really think that Erebus believes in us? "
Han Shuo put on a mischievous smile and said, "Aren't you afraid that Erebus will be jealous?"
"Don't worry. Even if she wants to choose, she won't humiliate herself. I believe in that. Haha, what am I afraid of?" After hearing Han Shuo's explanation, Erebus recalled that there were many beautiful women in the Han Family.
"Who knows?" Aobashi put on a mischievous smile as though she was determined to strike a blow at Erebus.
"Erm …" Erebus was speechless and could only force a smile.
While Han Shuo and his two Divine Guard Chiefs were chatting and laughing, Camilla, Rugersey, and Batúk had finished drawing their lots. Wallace swept his gaze around and saw Han Shuo and his two Divine Guard Chiefs laughing and chatting. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Aobashi, Erebus, it's your turn!"
Seeing that Han Shuo was getting along well with his two Divine Guard Chiefs, not only did Wallace not feel that the atmosphere was harmonious, he even felt a little worried. Unknowingly, Han Shuo had influenced many of the people around him. Carmelita, Andre, Erebus, Aobashi, and other core members of the House of Sainte seemed to be on intimate terms with Han Shuo.
This was not a good sign for Wallace!
"Coming!" Aobashi smiled and rolled her eyes at Han Shuo. Then, she went to draw lots with Erebus.
Wallace, who was carefully observing Han Shuo's trio, couldn't help but frown deeply. Suddenly, he felt that Ralph was the only one among his loyal subordinates who had never betrayed him. With that thought in mind, Wallace couldn't help but look at Ralph in the distance. For some reason, Wallace felt vaguely uncomfortable when he thought that Ralph might be defeated soon.
The results soon came out. Erebus and Camilla, Chief of the Fourth Corps, Batúk and Rugersey, and Aobashi drew a blank.
Aobashi, who was holding a blank lot in her hand, said cheerfully, "My luck is not bad. I can save some energy!" To her, other than Ralph, no one else could pose any threat to her. Aobashi, who was unaware of Han Shuo's true strength, had included Han Shuo in her calculations.
From her point of view, although Han Shuo possessed extraordinary strength, he might not necessarily be a match for Ralph. Aobashi, who had been Ralph's rival for many years, knew very well how formidable Ralph could be. Therefore, she had repeatedly reminded Han Shuo to be careful of Ralph and hoped that Han Shuo would not let his guard down.
Aobashi, who had never fought against Han Shuo, had only learned from some sources that Han Shuo had fought against Portlem back in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Portlem, who had just entered highgod realm, was of no threat to Aobashi.
Therefore, based on her previous experience, Han Shuo's strength was at most that of a mid-stage highgod. Aobashi did not believe that an expert of this realm could defeat her.
"Alright then, we won't choose another battlefield. Let's do it at the same place where the divine guards fought!" Said Wallace. He turned to Han Shuo and Ralph and said, "If there are no questions, the two of you may go. Andre will go with you!" Upon finishing those words, Wallace raised his voice and let out a shrill whistle.
Upon hearing Wallace's shout, Andre, who was not present at the scene, immediately ordered the divine guards of the House of Sainte to nod at Wallace from a distance. He even gestured to Wallace to indicate that there were no problems.
Han Shuo did not say a word. He walked straight towards Andre. Ralph glared at Han Shuo's back and followed after Han Shuo.
It would take several days for the divine guards to travel from this area to the arena. Naturally, Han Shuo and Ralph, who possessed highgod strengths, wouldn't need that much time to travel at top speed. Under Andre's lead, it only took them a few hours to arrive at the arena.
To these highgods who had cultivated for several years, a few hours was nothing. Andre paid no attention to Ralph throughout the journey. He only chatted and laughed with Han Shuo. From Andre's point of view, the outcome of the battle had been decided from the very beginning. Andre, who disliked Ralph, was already being very gentlemanly by not making a few sarcastic remarks.
There were energy towers in the arena that formed a powerful defensive boundary. Those fighting in the arena would not have to worry about the shockwaves from the battle. Most importantly, Wallace and the patriarchs of the three major family clans could clearly see the situation on the other side of the arena through the sand table and truly understand the strengths of the Divine Guard Chiefs.
Andre led Han Shuo and Ralph to the arena and gestured for them to enter. After Han Shuo entered the arena, Andre reminded Han Shuo, "Minor injuries are not a problem, but do not kill or seriously injure them. My elder brother does not wish for the Divine Guard Chiefs to be unable to continue serving the City of Shadows!"
"Lord Andre, what do you mean by this?" Ralph, who was about to enter the arena, put on a cold face and shouted in a deep voice.
Andre shot a glance at Ralph, smiled, shook his head, and said nothing. In the end, he said to Han Shuo, "Have mercy!" Upon finishing those words, Ralph stepped aside and loudly instructed his divine guards, "The battlefield has been cleared. Disperse. No one is to enter!"
Ralph had a belly full of resentment but he did not know who to vent it on. After Andre finished giving his orders, Ralph let out a cold groan and said to Han Shuo in a low voice, "Lord Bryan, I will not show any mercy!"
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. He picked his ears and said in a mocking tone, "Andre just asked me to show mercy. Are you deaf? Did you not hear him? Hehe, don't show mercy. If you do, I fear that I will not be able to control myself and kill you! "
"Let's fight!" When Ralph realized that he was no match for Han Shuo in a war of words, he wasted no more time and charged into the arena.
As soon as Han Shuo and Han Shuo entered the arena, Wallace, the patriarchs of the three major family clans, and a few other Divine Guard Chiefs who did not participate in the battle turned their attention to the sand table at the center. Wallace seemed to have done something but the two black dots on the sand table were suddenly enlarged. The figures of Han Shuo and Ralph gradually became clearer.
"It will be very interesting if Ralph loses this battle!" remarked Camilla in a low voice.
"I wonder if Brian can win. Haha, he is always so unbelievable!" Jiya, who was standing beside Camilla, put on an expectant smile.
Casper, the patriarch of the House of Kinson, looked at his daughter Jiya in astonishment. He had been rather puzzled when he learned that Jiya had gone to the Fifth Corps two days ago. Casper, who was adept at reading people's expressions, felt that his daughter seemed to be treating Han Shuo differently. Now that he heard Jiya's words, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"Jiya, are you interested in that youngster?" Casper put on a stern face and asked in a low voice. As a father, Casper did not need to hide anything from Jiya. He asked her anything.
Jiya was obviously startled. She raised her head and looked at Casper. She immediately replied in a flustered manner, "Of course not! Father, don't let your imagination run wild! "
As expected! How could Casper not understand his daughter's thoughts? His daughter, who had always remained calm and unwavering even in the face of great pressure, seemed rather flustered this time around. There must be something fishy going on!
"That youngster is said to be a womanizer. You must be careful!" Casper softly warned his daughter. Then, he continued in a gentle voice, "But if you are willing and have made up your mind, I will not stop you."
Jiya was stunned. She stared at Caspar in disbelief. This father of hers was not at all open-minded. Most of the young men who had admired her over the years had been chased away by him. Why was he suddenly not objecting this time? Moreover, he clearly knew that youngster was a womanizer. Why did he say that he would not stop him?
Just as Jiya was pondering with doubts, Camilla suddenly exclaimed, "Why can't I see anything?!"
Jiya was startled again. She was worried for Han Shuo for no reason. At this moment, she could not be bothered to let her imagination run wild. She hastily looked at the scene in the sand table.
Everything in the sand table was the same as before. There was a cloud of white mist drifting over from an unknown place. It happened to block the area where Han Shuo and Ralph were fighting. The group of people, who had been filled with anticipation, scratched their ears and cheeks in anxiety. They had no idea what was happening inside.
Looking at the sand table, they could see dust and debris flying in the mist from time to time. It was obvious that an earth-shattering battle was taking place inside.
"Castellan, why did the mist suddenly appear?" Casper hastily asked.
Wallace was also baffled. He took out a magic mirror and asked Andre, "What's going on? Didn't you clean up that area? Why did there suddenly appear a cloud of mist at such a crucial moment? Where did it come from? "
Andre smiled bitterly in the magic mirror and said, "Everything inside has been cleaned up. There's no way such an accident would happen. This situation must be man-made!"
Man-Made! Wallace frowned. In all the previous battles, Ralph had always been attacking ferociously. He had never had the time to care about the situation around him! If it really was done by someone, then the culprit had to be Han Shuo. Of this, Wallace was a hundred percent sure!
Why? Why couldn't anyone see how he attacked? Wallace frowned deeply.
