Chapter 456: Surprise attack! (I) (1/2)
Shen Yin Wang Zuo, Chapter 456: Surprise attack! (I)
However, this army of demon was really well trained. When suddenly targeted by such an attack, they still didn’t show any signs of panic. All the Hell Demons gathered together, guarded singularly by all the Demonic Bears, making their pairings a good match. The Berserk Demons and Fiends also showed response from their own sides. More precisely, a half of the Fiends flew to the sky, intercepting the falling stones in the sky. At least with their act of smashing the rocks to pieces, their volume lessened.
Also, another portion of the demons headed to the offense, directly flying to the two sides, at a very rapid speed.
Without a doubt, it was Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian that appeared on the two sides. They found it very difficult to find such a fitting location to get in move.
Long Haochen didn’t worry for their safety at all. Everyone having fought demons for so long together, obviously knew what to do. The Demon Resisting Mountain Range was the best place possible to conceal themselves, relying on their spiritual stoves, equipment, and abilities. If the demons wanted to ambush them, things would be easier said than done. By retreating right after the moments of action, they wouldn’t give the enemy any chance to surround them.
Long Haochen also took advantage of the chance and closed the little gap behind. Swiftly summoning the four holy guards along, explaining to them the situation before their eyes as well as his objective.
“Try your best to make the enemy conspicuous, while delaying their advance.”
Among the four holy guards, the three last ranked all looked at the Ninth Holy Guard, who looked back at the other three holy guards, before looking at Long Haochen, “Master, what level of importance shall we attach to the task of delaying or killing these enemies?”
Long Haochen replied without hesitation, “Very, very important.” The Ninth Holy Guard nodded in response to him, before looking at the other three holy guards, saying in a heavy voice, “Then please let me borrow your strengths.”
Then he looked at Long Haochen once again, “Master, this time, after helping you settling this issue, we will need to lie dormant for over a month, to recover from the consumption of soul force.”
Long Haochen had a great surprise. Right when he wanted to inquire about that, the other three holy guards started speaking in a sort of special language. Their movements were very organized. As soon as they started to surround the ninth holy guard, their bodies shivered violently, then the soulfire in their eyes pulsed intensely.
With shock, Long Haochen saw creamy white color separate from their eyes and transfer into the Ninth Holy Guard’s body.
The aura of the three holy guards weakened at an alarming speed, but conversely, the body of the Ninth Holy Guard enlarged at a monstrous speed, almost taking a mere instant to break through from the peak of the seventh step to the eighth step, without stopping at all.
This is…
After a short time of shock, Long Haochen realized that the three Great Holy Guards were transferring their soul force to the Ninth Holy Guard.
And that wasn’t an ordinary soul force, but the soul force in their very root. Otherwise, why would they weaken to such extent?
Swish–
A red glow of light took the initiative to return in the Eternal Melody. That was the Twelfth Holy Guard. Long Haochen immediately lost sight of his existence. It appeared to be as he said, he went in profound sleep. The Eleventh Holy Guard lasted only a little longer than the Twelfth, and then the Tenth followed.
The whole transfer took them only ten seconds and no more. When the three Great Holy Guards all disappeared, look Haochen found to his shock that the Ninth Holy Guard had undergone a heaven splitting change. His body was the same size, but the orange soulfire pulsing in his eyes had acquired a faint golden gloss. Meanwhile, the milky white colored bones seemed to have gained a flaming glow. Right after nodding to Long Haochen, his body soared, facing the direction of the mountain peak on the side. Disappearing in a blink of eye, he left Long Haochen only a message before that. That he would stall against these demons, and prevent them from covering the area between these two hills.
Although he had no idea what the Ninth Holy Guard was planning, Long Haochen had absolute belief in these holy guard’s loyalty. Moreover, the Ninth Holy Guard’s action of drawing support from the other three holy guards’ soul force couldn’t possibly be a common technique. In a flash of light, Long Haochen summoned Yating to his side. Meanwhile, the falling stones finished falling from the sky, and Sima Xian as well as Wang Yuanyuan already withdrew. After finding out about the disappearance of the danger, this army of demons was bound to continue advancing. To them, this was nothing more than having gotten caught by the Temple Alliance. But since they were already so deep inside the Demon Resisting Mountain Range, they couldn’t retreat as if nothing happened. After all, even if these elites couldn’t surprise the Exorcist Mountain Pass with their attack, the Alliance would definitely not be able to block their advance easily.
.
It was for this reason that Long Haochen wanted to delay them, and for that, he had to make these demons feel they are under threat. Only this way would he be able to force them into a defensive formation. After exchanging a few simple words with Yating, Long Haochen disappeared in a flash, appearing behind Yating. Placing his hands on her back, he poured his extremely pure light elemental spiritual energy into her body.
