Han Shuo did not know what was going on in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. As per Baum's invitation, he arrived at the City Lord's mansion in Ethereal City.
Recently, Han Shuo had been using his demon generals to carefully observe Baum. Other than hearing that Baum had ordered his divine guards to investigate Goldstone Market, Han Shuo did not discover anything unusual. However, that conversation was enough for Han Shuo. He knew that Baum must have ulterior motives for sparing no effort in helping him set up the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy branch in Ethereal City.
When Han Shuo arrived at the City Lord's mansion, Baum was receiving him in the parlor. When Baum saw Han Shuo, he very warmly welcomed him and asked if he was satisfied with the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy branch.
Han Shuo put on a big smile and pretended to be courteous to Baum for a while. Then, he got straight to the point, "What can I do for you, City Lord?"
"I have a friend who wants to purchase some special medicines from your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. I wonder if your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy can produce some?" asked Baum after hesitating for a moment when he saw that Han Shuo had brought up a serious matter.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. His demon general had been secretly observing Baum from a hundred meters away. According to his demon general's observation, Baum had not met any special friends. Therefore, Han Shuo was rather surprised by Baum's words.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo recalled that Baum cultivated in the edict of space. A divine weapon like the Space Mirror, which was powered by energy crystals, should be easy to produce. As Baum's demon general had to observe Baum from a certain distance, when Baum was cultivating in the gymnasium, Baum's demon general would not be able to detect his movements through boundaries and walls. If Baum had met anyone, it would have been through the Space Mirror.
"May I know what kind of special medicines your friend is looking for?" asked Han Shuo smilingly with his brows bunched.
"My friend is in the business of hunting magical beasts. Some magical beasts have tough skin and are very hard to deal with. He needs some poisonous medicines. Hmm, in other Divine Dominions, using poisoned potions is a big taboo, but in the Fate and Space Dominions, it's not a big deal. If you're interested, we can cooperate. If not, then forget it. I won't force you to do something you don't want to do. "Baum's expression was natural and his tone was flat.
Poisons were strictly prohibited in the Dominions of Light and Life. Even in the Dominions of Death, Darkness, and Destruction, most potion shops wouldn't dare to openly sell poisons. As for those who experimented on using living people to refine poisons, just like godhunters, they were boycotted by all Dominions.
The more dangerous a field was, the more tempting the profits would be. These two industries were no exception. Poisons were slightly better off. Although some potion shops would not openly display their poisons on the counter, they would still sell some in secret. There were many potion shops that dabbled in this line of business. As long as Han Shuo took care of the relevant affairs in the City, there shouldn't be any major problems.
However, those who experimented on living people and specialized in poisons were highly taboo. Although they weren't as notorious as godhunters, they would still be hunted down by divine guards if they were discovered. Therefore, those who dabbled in this line of business absolutely did not dare to expose themselves. Back then, it was because Han Shuo exposed the Godswamp Pharmacy in the City of Shadows that the House of Sainte closed it down and executed several of its key members.
Han Shuo's brows were bunched even tighter. It wasn't that there weren't any potion shops that specialized in poisons. Why would Baum look for him?
As the City Lord of Ethereal City, Baum had specifically sought Han Shuo out to discuss this matter. As long as Han Shuo agreed to it, with Baum as the City Lord, there shouldn't be any problems. What is Baum trying to do?
A series of thoughts flashed across Han Shuo's mind. After keeping silent for a moment, Han Shuo suddenly put on a faint smile and said, "This business is risky. I need to meet that friend of yours. I will only consider this matter after I have met that friend of yours and feel that he is trustworthy!" Han Shuo initially intended to flatly refuse. However, when he thought about how Baum had spared no effort in helping him, he realized that Baum might be secretly plotting something in this regard. In order to find out the truth, Han Shuo decided to investigate step by step.
"Just as you said, this business is risky. I need to ask for his opinion and see if he is willing to meet you," Baum thought for a moment and gave Han Shuo an explanation.
"Alright, let me know when you have any news." Han Shuo smiled and asked again, "If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
"That's all. However, I have some personal questions that I would like to ask you. Is that alright?" Baum asked again when he saw that Han Shuo was about to leave.
"City Lord, you are being too polite. Feel free to ask me any questions you have. As long as I know the answer, I will tell you everything I know!" Han Shuo politely sat back down and did not leave immediately.
"I was fortunate enough to have fought against Mister Baum and I was very impressed by your strength. However, after thinking about it, I realized that the energy Mister Baum used is very peculiar. It is an energy system that I have never seen in my many years on Elysium. I'm very curious about it. Can Mister Baum explain it to me? "Baum was very sincere. He was very curious about the energy Han Shuo used.
Naturally, Han Shuo would not tell Baum the truth. However, it would be inappropriate for him to reject Baum outright. Therefore, he made up a series of lies, describing demonic arts as an alternative form of fighting aura. He also mixed in some demonic terms that only Han Shuo knew in order to fool Baum.
Baum was completely baffled by Han Shuo's words. As Baum knew nothing about demonic arts, he couldn't tell if Han Shuo was talking nonsense or not. His words were filled with lies and falsehoods. Baum couldn't tell if Han Shuo was talking nonsense or not.
After explaining for a while, Han Shuo pretended to be exhausted and said, "I've told you everything I need to know. This kind of energy is rather special and even I don't know much about it. It's normal that you don't understand it. Hmm, it's about time I head back. "Upon finishing those words, before Baum could urge him to stay, Han Shuo bowed and took his leave.
… …
In the middle of the night, the highgod who attacked the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was shuttling back and forth between remote alleys. However, he discovered that he was being followed.
He kept dodging and even stopped to wait and patrol the surroundings. However, he could not find any trace of the woman. Even so, the feeling that he was being followed was still present.
He was extremely shocked. He had paid a great price to get Han Shuo out of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy and avenge his brother. However, he did not expect that the woman would possess strength that was not inferior to his own. He thought that he would be able to get what he wanted after someone intervened. Little did he expect that an even more terrifying youngster would appear behind him and ruin all his plans.
The way Han Hao effortlessly killed that early-stage highgod had left a deep impression on him. He was not confident that he could defeat Han Hao, much less deal with the combined attacks of Han Hao and Rose. Therefore, he had no choice but to retreat.
However, the feeling that he was being followed made him afraid of returning home. He was afraid that he would expose his identity and bring even greater trouble to his family clan. He could only wander back and forth in the most remote and desolate areas of Ethereal City, trying his best to shake off his pursuer.
After a few tries, he suddenly realized that no matter what methods he used, his pursuer seemed to always be there.
With no other choice, he stopped at a desolate stone forest in Ethereal City. He no longer spent any effort in dodging. He surveyed the surroundings and shouted, "I won't run anymore. Come out!"
A moment later, Han Hao walked out from a stone forest a thousand meters away from him with an indifferent face.
Han Hao was different from the Five Elite Zombies. Although he did not obtain the Five Elemental Yuan Energy and Five Elemental Treasures like the Five Elite Zombies, he was luckier than the Five Elite Zombies because he had obtained a portion of Han Shuo's memories regarding demonic arts! This made him different from the Five Elite Zombies. In this universe, other than Han Shuo, Bollands, Sanguinar, and definitely not Dark Dragon Gilbert who could put demonic arts to good use.
It was him – Little Skull, Han Hao!
Both Bollands and Sanguinar cultivated in demonic arts that were bestowed upon them by Han Shuo. Neither the Godslaying Demon Path nor the Bloodgod Mantra could be considered as the orthodox great path of demonic arts. Other than Han Shuo, only Little Skull, Han Hao, who had obtained Han Shuo's memories, cultivated in orthodox demonic arts. However, as his life force was different from that of Han Shuo, his cultivation seemed to have deviated. Unlike Han Shuo, his cultivation was mixed with the energy of death, making it very difficult to distinguish his realm.
However, this deviation did not seem to be harmful to him. On the contrary, it made his strength even more bizarre and unpredictable. When the energy of death and demonic arts blended together, he became more and more powerful. Back when he separated from Han Shuo, his strength was about the same as Han Shuo's. Fifty years later, when Han Shuo's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, he was also making rapid progress.
The reason why Han Hao was able to closely follow this fellow who cultivated in the energy of lightning and could not escape from Han Hao no matter what he did was that he, like Han Shuo, had refined demon generals using living souls. Although the demon generals he refined were not as exquisite as Han Shuo's, they similarly possessed the basic ability of stealth and peeping.
Therefore, no matter how hard that person tried to evade, he could not escape from Han Hao's pursuit!
"It's you?" The masked person felt somewhat helpless when he saw the cold-faced youngster walking out from the stone forest. He had fought against Rose before. If the one chasing after him was really Rose, he might not be too worried. However, when it came to Han Hao, he really had no confidence at all.
Han Hao did not say a word to him. After walking out from the stone forest, he immediately charged forward with his bone spear in hand. He spread out his Domain of Divinity, and all the elements of death in the vicinity frantically surged into it. Within the area covered by his Domain of Divinity, there was also an astonishing Evil Qi that soared into the sky. The Evil Qi carried the elements of death with it, and it directly formed a violent airflow that swept towards that person.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" After being chased for so long, he was also very sullen. Although he did not want to continue being entangled with Han Hao, Han Hao had already made his move, and he also understood that there was no way for him to escape.
From beginning to end, Han Hao did not say a word. He raised his bone spear and flew behind the violent airflow, flying towards that person. The seven bone spears on his back swayed unsteadily, as though they could fly out at any time to kill.
Bolts of lightning formed in the void and spread out horizontally in front of the man. The lightning stopped in the void and stopped moving, using this to stop the violent impact of the airflow.
Violent rumbling sounds exploded in this stone forest. Lightning bolts shot out like swimming dragons. The Death Qi and Baleful Qi that soared to the sky dissipated, then quickly gathered together again, shattering the stone pillars one by one. The entire area was suddenly filled with flying sand and stones, and the strange light was glaring.
The two strange flows of energy tangled with each other, breaking the static electricity barrier. They scattered, gathered, and scattered again. After a while, they gathered again and again, creating the airflow that stormed forward. A three-meter-long bone spear had pierced through the turbulent airflow, increasing the power and momentum of the airflow.
With just one strike, that person knew that Han Hao's power was stronger than his, and his power Upanishad was evil. Seeing the chaotic airflow created by the Death Qi and murderous aura coming one more time, he felt begrudging. He had to use all of his God power to resist. One of his hands was accumulating electricity, while the other was forming the thunderbolt power. With both of his hands working together, the thunderbolt power and the thunderbolt power appeared. With him as the center, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled like fireworks.
Warriors who cultivated the thunderbolt power were the same as those who cultivated the water power. They could use their God power to perform the two kinds of attacks. The thunderbolt power in their bodies only needed to be urged with a special power Upanishad to create thunderbolts and lightning attacks. When the thunderbolt and the thunderbolt powers were released together, it was the performance of the God who cultivated the thunderbolt power.
Terrifying explosions echoed unceasingly. Lightning bolts flew around him. Gradually, dozens of lightning bolts gathered into one. Eventually, the lightning bolt that had gathered all the electricity in the area was like a thousand-year-old tree that needed several people to wrap their arms around it. Every time the lightning bolt flew, it was accompanied by thunderous sounds.
As soon as he attacked with all of his power, the seven Bone Spears on Han Hao's back finally flew out at the same time, falling into the airflow created by the Death Qi and murderous aura in a mysterious trajectory. As soon as the seven Bone Spears entered the airflow, the airflow seemed to have a life of its own. When it crazily rolled over, it swallowed everything around it. Dozens of ten-meter-tall stone columns were dragged into it.
When the airflow finally struck down from the sky, dozens of high-speed rotating stone columns struck first, counteracting half of his thunderbolt attack. Then, a more powerful airflow came. The Bone Spears in the airflow seized the chance to shoot out. They scattered behind the stone columns and attacked the warrior. He was caught unprepared. He had to divert his energy to deal with the Bone Spears. He couldn't urge the power of the massive electric column to the extreme.
Earth-shattering explosions sounded from the area. The energy waves generated by the tremendous commotion spread far and wide. The warrior who was passively defending himself was drenched in blood. No one knew where the blood came from.
Han Hao walked out from the cloud of dust. His eyes were fixed on the warrior. The seven Bone Spears were eerily hovering behind his back. A three-meter-long Bone Spear was pointed at the warrior.
It was at this moment that bizarre spacetime ripples suddenly spread across the sky. Han Hao, who was about to continue his attack, bunched his brows and sensed the spacetime ripples. Without saying a word, he turned around and flew into the distance. Before the spacetime was torn apart, he was already far away.
Right after he disappeared, a spatial rift was torn open in the spacetime. Baum, the City Lord of Ethereal City, had arrived.
Baum creased his brows after taking a glance at the bloodied highgod. He did not ask the warrior anything but waved his hand impatiently. Then, he immediately flew in the direction that Han Hao disappeared.
