Without the support of Dhaka and the other two, the godhunters were no match for the House of Han's relentless bombardment. One after another, they were killed on the spot.
Rose, Romont, Zovic, Sanguinar, Bollands, and the rest of the Han family experts took action together. Among them were some of Han Hao's subordinates. Be it the Han family guards or Han Hao's subordinates, they were all well-versed in the art of demonic formations. They were like fish in water in this kind of battle.
The godhunters were no match for them to begin with. As soon as Ossora arrived and ordered his subordinates to attack, the godhunters were routed even faster. Before Dhaka and the other two could come to their aid, they had no choice but to scatter and flee.
They had already suffered heavy injuries at the three mountains of Little Skull and Han Hao. Many of them had yet to fully recover from their injuries and were no match for the Han family guards. They were so terrified that they ran for their lives. They even forgot about the three Hegemons who were deep in the Pandemonium.
The Han family guards chased after them with all their might. Thanks to their familiarity with the terrain of the Pandemonium, the Han family guards were able to find shortcuts to intercept the fleeing godhunters and deal them a heavy blow.
This should have been a perfect victory, if nothing unexpected had happened along the way.
The House of Han guards who were frantically pursuing the godhunters thought that their side was strong enough to kill the godhunters. Therefore, they disregarded the danger of being cornered and killed their way through.
However, the House of Han guards soon realized that something was amiss. For some reason, the godhunters who had fled earlier had the guts to charge back. They were all in high spirits and looked like mad dogs that had just broken free from their cages.
Bollands, Sanguis, and Gilbert, who were leading the charge, were stunned. They did not understand why the godhunters who had been fleeing in a sorry state just a moment ago would come charging back at them. They were clearly weaker than the House of Han guards and had lost their will to fight after being slaughtered to the point where their blood flowed like a river.
Where did their confidence come from?
Bollands had a bad feeling about this. Before the godhunters could get close, he shouted, "Retreat!"
"Old man, why? Since they are courting death, let's grant them their wish. Hehe, these weaklings aren't even enough for us to kill, "Gilbert looked at Bollands with a puzzled look.
"Something's not right!" Bollands felt that something was wrong. He shouted again, "Retreat, now!"
"Gilbert, let's go!" When Sanguis saw that Gilbert was about to say something, he immediately shouted, "There are more of them. I can sense a lot of blood auras rapidly approaching this place!"
Gilbert was shocked and didn't dare to say anything else. He turned around and retreated while shouting, "Go back! Don't give chase! Goddamnit, it's an ambush!"
The Han family guards that had been following Gilbert's group of three turned around and retreated in the direction they came from when they heard Gilbert's shout.
It was at this moment that many experts appeared behind the godhunters. From the color of their clothes, it was obvious that they weren't Dhaka, Dagmar, or Asser's subordinates. However, they all gave off the same cold-blooded aura.
It was obvious that they were godhunters as well!
"It's Ossora's pursuers! Dammit, didn't Ossora just say that they had shaken them off?" shouted Sanguinar angrily after taking a glance behind him.
Since the three of them had reacted in time, their subordinates might not have been killed. However, they weren't the only group of Han family guards chasing after Dhaka's subordinates. If those people didn't realize the danger, wouldn't they be killed by the new experts?
The thought of that possibility made Sanguinar want to curse. Why didn't Ossora stay in his domain? Why did he come to Pandemonium? Even if he wanted to come, he had to understand the situation first. Don't bring trouble to Pandemonium!
"Let's go!" Bollands was startled and his voice grew even louder. He suddenly sensed an enormous aura behind him and realized that there must be a Hegemon among the pursuers.
Sanguinar and Gilbert only needed a glance at Bollands's shocked eyes to realize that the pursuers weren't something they could handle. They started to panic.
A gust of gentle wind whistled past, and a human figure appeared in the midst of it.
Millet, one of the Hegemons, smiled and created a wind barrier in front of Sanguinar, Gilbert, and Bollands.
Bang! Bang!
The Han Family guards who were retreating in front of Sanguinar and the others couldn't stop their momentum and crashed into the wind barrier one after another. However, they were all repelled by the wind barrier. Not a single one of them managed to break through the barrier.
Suddenly, a series of violent tornadoes formed in the area they were in. The tornadoes formed by the divine energy of the wind element were like whirlpools made of pure wind blades. Several Han Family guards who were caught in the tornado were shredded into pieces by the tornadoes.
Sanguinar's eyes turned crimson. The bloody sword in his hand emitted a blood-red radiance that was five meters long. The pungent smell of blood assailed the nostrils. Streams of blood seemed to be flowing on the hilt of the sword.
Sanguinar's body transformed into a bloody radiance and thrust at the wind barrier created by Millet with all his might.
* Rip! *
The sound of jade being torn apart could be heard from the wind barrier. The wind element that had gathered together rippled through the gap. A hole that could fit three people appeared in the wind barrier. Sanguinar, as one with his sword, was the first to pass through!
Gilbert and Bollands followed closely behind. Some of the Han Family guards were quick to react and passed through the hole after Bollands. They managed to escape from the wind barrier.
However, a dozen or so Han Family guards weren't so lucky. Before they could pass through the wind barrier, they discovered that the hole that Sanguinar had torn open had healed. Moreover, even denser wind element was gathering on the wind barrier, completely blocking their way out.
"Huh?" Millet's expression changed. He didn't expect Sanguinar to be able to tear through the wind barrier he had created.
Although the wind barrier was something he had created in a hurry, it wasn't something that could be easily pierced through. Sanguinar's ability to gather all of his power into a single point in an instant and unleash a terrifying destructive force that was far beyond his actual strength impressed Millet.
Even denser wind element gathered on the wind barrier. Millet attacked calmly. One wind blade after another accurately pierced the bodies of the Han Family guards that had been left behind. They were badly mutilated and died on the spot!
As soon as the wind blade left his hand, Millet turned into a gust of wind and passed through the wind barrier he had created without any obstruction. He continued to chase after Sanguinar and the other two.
"Where are the others?" Roared Gilbert immediately after he passed through the wind barrier. He turned around and looked behind him.
Bollands didn't say a word. His face was as cold as ice. He knew that the Han Family guards who couldn't pass through the wind barrier wouldn't survive more than a few seconds in the hands of an expert of Millet's level. They were probably dead by the time Gilbert spoke.
Seeing that Bollands didn't say a word, Gilbert immediately knew the fate of the Han Family guards. Gilbert's eyes reddened. He decided to turn back and fight with his life on the line. However, his fast-moving body suddenly trembled and stopped moving. It seemed that he wasn't going to continue retreating.
"Capture him!" roared Bollands and glanced at Sanguinar.
As soon as he said that, Bollands and Sanguinar moved together. Each of them grabbed onto one of Gilbert's arms and dragged him towards the Pandemonium. They didn't care about Gilbert's shouts at all.
"Kid, the energy you use is very peculiar. Haha, stay here and we'll discuss it!" Suddenly, Millet's chuckle came from behind, and a gentle breeze quietly blew over. Another wind barrier formed in front of the three, and the elemental density of this new wind barrier was simply incomparable to the previous one.
Sanguinar only took a glance at the newly formed wind barrier before he turned around and glared at Millet.
He knew very well that the newly formed wind barrier wasn't something he could break. Rather than wasting his energy on it, he might as well turn back and fight Millet to the death. Even if he couldn't kill Millet, he should be able to inflict some damage on him if he went all out.
Seeing that even Sanguinar had given up on trying to break out of the encirclement, Bollands and Gilbert immediately understood that the situation had reached its most critical juncture. The two suddenly put aside their panic and fixed their hateful gazes on Millet.
The Han Family guards stood silently behind the three of them. Not a single one of them showed any fear or fear in their eyes. Instead, they all wore calm expressions, as if death was not something too difficult to accept. It was as if they had long since prepared themselves for this.
Millet wasn't in a hurry to attack. He took in the expressions of the Han family guards and nodded in praise. "What a powerful army indeed. No wonder even Dhaka's men fell! Heh, you only have two choices in front of you. Either you release your souls and swear your loyalty to me, or I'll kill you right now! "
"Who do you think you can kill?" A cold shout came from the depths of the earth. The earth beneath Bollands' feet suddenly split open, and Han Hao walked out with a grim expression, his bone spear in hand.
Glancing at the surprised Millet, Han Hao said to Bollands and the others, "There's nothing else for you to do here. Return to Pandemonium from below!"
"Haha, I've long heard of Han Hao's name. Now that I've seen it for myself, you really do live up to your reputation!" Millet clapped his hands and laughed heartily. "But do you think you can protect them?"
"You can try!" Han Hao no longer looked at Bollands and focused all his attention on Millet. He pointed his bone spear at Millet as though he was facing a formidable enemy. The other seven bone spears on his back trembled violently.
