Chapter 459: Forbidden Earth Spell? (I) (2/2)
A bloody red light shone on his chest, before scarlet bloody fog spread out from his body, covering the whole army. This was element control was close to the level of the domain of a ninth step user.
From the other mountain, the incomparably sharp sword intent could already be sensed, causing the Fiend King to feel a chill. It was no wonder that his estimation was so high, since sword intent didn’t have a direct conversion into grade. Through the sword intent spread out from the Aria of the Goddess of Light, Long Haochen reached a level of comprehension extremely close to the divine sword wielder Ye Wushang from past. How could this level be no threat for the Fiend King?
There’s no way he could have expected the team he brought in the Demon Resisting Mountain Pass to be in trouble so quickly. At this moment, even without these human powerhouses here to block them, because of the loss of the Demon Envoys, they would very rapidly get exposed. At this pôint, the Fiend King already started to consider retreat. It wasn’t for the lack of courage, but because demons couldn’t afford losing so much of their elites.
Among this demon army, powerhouses of the eighth step numbered at least three hundred. In fact, aside from the top five clans, no force among the demons could possibly assemble such an army. If the losses kept growing, the rage of the Death Demon God Saminaga would surely be awaiting him. Perhaps he would be directly punished by the Demon God Emperor.
A sparkling and translucent white light formed a light blade in the air, leaving a trail of flames in the air.
This light appeared in a flash, before vanishing completely. In the air, Long Haochen’s figure dazzled, before the Aria of the Goddess of Light returned in his body.
His current face was extremely pale, clearly a result of massive consumption of spiritual energy. And in truth, his spiritual energy was barely enough to keep him floating. But his opponent was clearly a lot worse off. Although the Fiend Commander managed to keep himself floating, one could clearly see that on his face was a dead person’s expression. Letting out a trail of blood from his head to his toes, his whole body was totally split by Long Haochen’s previous strike.
This was strength, absolute strength. His sword intent combined with the Aria of the Goddess of Light caused Long Haochen’s imposing manner to transcend its peak. Without sufficiently good equipment, even a powerhouse of the eighth step would hardly be able to resist him. And the most fearful thing was Long Haochen’s battle experience. Before, he made himself seem weak and escaped so brazenly to attract the enemy into pursuing him. And from his counteroffensive to the death of the Fiend Commander, only a few breaths of time had passed. The whole battle was within his grasp, and he didn’t give the Fiend Commander the slightest opportunity to display his real strength.
Long Haochen was certainly very young, but his experience was a lot richer than other people of his age. Just how many times did he risk his life in battle? How many desperate crises did he overcome up to now? Each of these experience became a part of his strength, transforming him. In merely a few years, he could already be compared with many of his precursors in terms of attitude and battle experience, and this was without mentioning all the powerful skills he acquired from the Holy Guards in the Tower of Eternity.
Flapping his wings with difficulty, he took advantage of the instant before the death of the Fiend Commander to absorb him in the Eternal Melody. Then Long Haochen changed his stance, facing the mountain peaks. From what he remembered, the Ninth Holy Guard flew over from there just before. But why was it that no fluctuation of spiritual energy could be sensed from there up to now?
Having borrowed strength from the souls of the other three holy guards, the Ninth Holy Guard’s magic could be said to have reached the peak of the eighth step already.
While watching attentively the mountain in front of his eyes, Long Haochen rapidly returned to the ground, taking a new Great Recovery Pill, recovering his spiritual energy rapidly . In the meantime, he changed into a black gown, taking advantage of the night to conceal his figure.
At least up to now, the plan had been going smoothly! Now, all depended on how the Ninth Holy Guard would fare. Ninth, you have to be faster, otherwise, we won’t be able to intimidate these demons.
That’s just the way it is! Demons aren’t fools either; and after this short moment of caution, they would soon notice no further movement from the other side, as well as the disappearance of the fluctuation of light elemental spiritual energy, it would the same as if they were back in the original situation.
