A miraculous restraining energy was transmitted from the withered yellow staff in the old man's hand. In the next moment, both Rose and Verón froze.
Even Han Shuo was affected by the shackling energy the moment it spread out. Two seconds later, Han Shuo came to his senses. When he looked at Rose again, he discovered that she and Verón had been separated from each other. The Domain of Divinity released by Rose had also vanished.
Han Shuo immediately realized that he was also affected by the strange Time Stop energy. He turned to look at the old man who suddenly appeared and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Rose and Verón were dazed for a few seconds before they suddenly realized what had happened. Rose was rather angry because she could have killed Verón in just a few moments. She had been strangely restrained for a few seconds and missed the best opportunity for her to kill.
In contrast to Rose, Verón, who had just escaped from the gates of hell, was overjoyed. He turned to the old man holding the withered yellow staff and hastily thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Baum!"
The old man called Baum wore a calm and composed face. He nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Verón, I think it's time for you to return. That Han Tu guy is no longer someone you can capture!"
Verón turned around and glared at Han Shuo and Earth Elite Zombie. He forced a smile and said, "I understand. I will return and report this to my superior. Lord Baum, sorry for the trouble. "
"It's alright," replied Baum.
"Han Tu and that youngster, this isn't over yet. Scarlet City will not let this matter rest! Just you wait! "Verón put on a fierce face and asked," That woman, what's your name? I will remember you! "
Rose replied disdainfully. She remained silent beside Han Shuo.
"Do you think you can escape?" Han Shuo coldly shouted. In a deep voice, he said, "I said that I will kill you and you will die! No one can stop me! " With that said, Han Shuo suddenly walked towards Verón step by step, his eyes fixed on the old man named Baum.
Baum furrowed his brows, seemingly displeased by Han Shuo's impudence. "I'm the City Lord of Ethereal City. Duels are not allowed in the city. No matter who you are, since you've come to Ethereal City, you'll have to abide by the rules of Ethereal City!" Baum said softly as he looked at Han Shuo approaching him.
"Why didn't you stop Verón's men when they were chasing after Han Tu? Why did you suddenly show up when Verón was about to die? Aren't you a little incompetent as a city lord?" Han Shuo sneered.
Baum possessed late-stage highgod strength and cultivated in the mysterious edict of space and time. Under normal circumstances, Baum would not be willing to make an enemy of Verón. However, from what Han Shuo observed, Baum and Verón obviously knew each other. What Baum was doing was to protect Verón.
For the sake of Earth Elite Zombie, Han Shuo wasn't afraid of offending Baum. Although Han Shuo possessed the power to freeze Time and Space, he couldn't maintain it for a long period of time. The reason why Han Shuo fell for Baum's attack was that he did not have any defensive measures in place. Han Shuo believed that once he was prepared, it wouldn't be easy for Baum to freeze the space around him.
"Fights between midgods take place in every corner of Ethereal City. I don't have the time and energy to monitor every fight. I can only detect fights between highgods with the energy towers I have set up beforehand," explained Baum calmly with his eyes locked on Han Shuo.
He could sense that Han Shuo was not an ordinary midgod. That aura was clearly not something a midgod should possess. For someone to attack Han Shuo after learning his identity, he was either an idiot or a truly fearless expert.
Han Shuo was obviously the latter type of person!
"Bullshit!" Han Shuo snorted disdainfully at Baum's explanation. Step by step, he accelerated towards Baum and Verón. Cauldron Spirit's energy abruptly poured into his body and the Invincible Omen Body was instantly formed.
Baum's heart sank. He waved the yellowed wooden staff in his hand. Bizarre undulations suddenly spread out from the staff. The energy from the wooden staff affected the edict of time and space. A spacetime boundary suddenly enveloped Han Shuo.
In an instant, Han Shuo felt as though he was trapped inside a spacetime mirror. He couldn't move his body at all. A wave of undulations even landed on his consciousness as though it was trying to freeze his thoughts!
Han Shuo's consciousness suddenly split into hundreds and thousands of strands. They constantly intersected and vibrated in his brain, forming a vortex that devoured the wave of undulations attacking his consciousness. Before the bizarre undulations could form any resistance, the hundreds of attacks from Han Shuo's consciousness vortex landed and minced the undulations into pieces.
Without the threat from the strange undulations, Han Shuo immediately sensed that every cell in his body had been frozen solid. He could also feel that he was frozen in midair. It was as though space had turned into a fossil and he had become a specimen within a fossil. It was a very strange feeling that made Han Shuo very uncomfortable.
The energy of the spacetime boundary filled every corner of the area. However, after Han Shuo's consciousness evaded the attack, the strange feeling only lasted for one or two seconds. In the next moment, all the cells in his body seemed to have been suddenly activated. They rapidly exploded, split, and reorganized.
The Invincible Omen Body was like gunpowder that had been ignited. In an instant, an astonishing defensive power erupted. Crisp sounds could be heard coming from Han Shuo's bones. Finally, after a loud crack, Han Shuo regained the ability to move.
At that moment, Han Shuo felt as though the entire spacetime had been shattered. Many spacetime fissures visible to the naked eye were torn apart and then mended at an even faster speed.
As though nothing had happened, Han Shuo continued to walk towards Baum and Verón with a grim and callous face.
Other than Baum, Verón, Rose, and Earth Elite Zombie quivered when they heard the crack. They knew that something must have happened to Han Shuo and Baum. However, as they were affected by the spacetime boundary, they did not know what exactly happened. They looked at Han Shuo and Baum blankly.
Verón, who was about to leave immediately, was overjoyed when he saw that Han Shuo had disregarded Baum's attempts to stop him. He did not rush to leave the dangerous area but waited excitedly for Han Shuo's impending tragedy to befall him.
Verón had heard of how powerful the City Lord of Ethereal City was when he arrived. He knew that although Baum did not like to meddle in other affairs, his strength was unfathomable. If he had not shown Baum the City Lord's token on his way here, Verón would not have dared to pursue Earth Elite Zombie in Ethereal City.
When Verón saw that Baum had his brows tightly bunched, it was as though he saw hope in defeating Earth Elite Zombie again. "I'm going to kill Verón.
"I'm going to kill Verón. It has nothing to do with you! Are you really going to stop me? " Han Shuo continued to walk towards Baum after breaking the spacetime boundary. He deliberately unleashed Cauldron Spirit's energy to the sky as he stared at Baum and shouted in a deep voice.
Baum was caught in a dilemma. To be able to break his spacetime boundary in just three seconds meant that Han Shuo possessed the strength to fight him! He knew that once the battle began, the outcome would not be pleasant. He might even be injured!
Those who cultivated in the edict of space would not fall into a deadly situation as long as they were careful. Being injured was usually a very miserable experience. Although Baum was somewhat apprehensive about Han Shuo's strength, as Han Shuo did not have an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength, Baum was not worried about his own safety.
However, to an expert of his realm, being injured was a very painful thing. Seeing that Han Shuo was getting closer and closer, Baum began to consider if he should really fight Han Shuo because of Baum.
Verón seemed to have noticed Baum's hesitation and hastily said, "Lord Baum, this is Ethereal City. As the City Lord, you should sternly stop an outsider who dares to challenge your authority!" Verón did not know what kind of relationship his City Lord had with Baum, but judging from the current situation, it should not be a deep friendship. He began to worry that Baum would abandon him because of Han Shuo's overwhelming strength.
Verón's shout made the hesitant Baum make up his mind. He was the City Lord of Ethereal City. Even if it was for the sake of his reputation, he had no choice but to fight!
"If you want to kill Verón, you can wait until he leaves Ethereal City!" Baum stared at Han Shuo silently. His pupils gradually contracted and he said, "As long as he is in Ethereal City, I will stop you!"
"Rose, go kill him. I will stop this old man!" After getting his answer, Han Shuo no longer hesitated. Fearing that Verón would seize the opportunity to escape, Han Shuo calmly instructed Rose.
As soon as Han Shuo finished those words, the Demonslayer Edge suddenly extended out from his palm. Seventeen flying swords whizzed out and bombarded Baum. As soon as the seventeen flying swords appeared, Han Shuo, who was wielding the Demonslayer Edge, also rushed forward. He also threw out the Banner of Hallucination with his left hand to confuse Baum's vision. At the same time, the Banner of Hallucination shrouded Verón who was about to escape.
Rose and Han Shuo had been together for a long time. They were used to sparring and sparring. Therefore, she knew Han Shuo's moves like the back of her hand.
As soon as Han Shuo made his move, Rose coordinated with him and flew forward. She infused her darkness divine energy into her long hair. Under the cover of the Banner of Hallucination, she mysteriously appeared beside Verón. Before Verón could react, the endless darkness once again engulfed him.
Baum immediately felt the pressure increase when the seventeen flying swords slashed at him. He had no choice but to forcefully alter the edict of space and time with the wooden staff in his hand. He distorted the space around him. It was as though he was in the middle of a spacetime turbulence. Rays of dazzling light flashed around him. They were all spacetime rifts.
The flying swords were clearly aimed at Baum. However, when they were hit by the distorted space, they immediately fell into another dimension. If it weren't for the fact that Han Shuo's consciousness was in sync with the flying swords, allowing him to skillfully control each flying sword, and forcefully withdraw the flying swords before they were completely engulfed by the spacetime turbulence, all seventeen flying swords would have been lost.
Those who cultivate in the edict of space are indeed difficult to deal with! Han Shuo thought to himself.
