Chapter 499: Star King (III) (2/2)
Everything went as in Long Haochen’s calculations. At the time the two pieces of the Fiend Commander’s dead body fell, he rushed towards the nine Fiends of the seventh step.
Seeing their captain die instantly, these nine were as shocked as one could imagine. How could they not be in total panic?
What greeted them was Long Haochen’s terrifying attacks.
In an instant, Long Haochen abruptly leapt down from Star King’s back. One could clearly see Star King’s body letting out a long golden chain made out of light, clinging to his waist. While enabling Long Haochen to come back at anytime, it also enabled the spiritual energy amplification to keep going.
In midair, Long Haochen actually didn’t unleash his spiritual wings, but was shot out like a bullet, rushing at lightning speed.
Three strikes of golden colored light were launched in succession, and pitiful cries burst forth along with surges of blood. Like that, six of the the nine Fiends of the seventh step died instantly.
This just happened too fast. With the backing from Star King, Long Haochen was able to maintain Spiritual Highland even without preparations. The power of this attack alone was enough against the ill-equipped Fiends of the seventh step, which ended up pretty much like a flock of sheep in front of a tiger.
The last three Fiends of the seventh step were in total terror, running away frantically. However, they were already too late.
Thick golden light kept twisting through the air, as Long Haochen’s attack borrowed power from his counterpart. Moving freely for a thousand meters, it chopped the head of the last Fiend of the seventh step very naturally. Gripping the golden chain on his waist, he returned to Star King’s back.
This battle was simply a unilateral massacre. From the beginning to the end of the battle, no more than one minute passed. It was a battle of wits and guts that went on.
Did he really have the advantage against a squad of Demon Hunter Removers formed of ten Fiends? In one-versus-one combat, they wouldn’t even be an opponent in his eyes, not even that Fiend Commander. But don’t forget about the Conjoined boosting skill of the Fiend clansmen. If these Fiends completed their Conjoined Boost, Long Haochen wouldn’t have been able to kill them so easily. But of course, the Conjoined Boost had its own drawbacks: it would be hard to believe that a group of ten people together would able to move rapidly and unhindered.
Deliberately drawing them out was quite effective against the opposite party’s Fiend Commander. Without wasting time, he used up thirty thousand spiritual energy to kill him in one strike, not only shocking the cohesion of the Fiends, but also getting rid of the most dangerous threat.
The following course of the battle was very simple. He used not only his strength, but also his experience and knowledge.
After getting rid of this team of Demon Hunter Removers, Long Haochen didn’t leave in a hurry, but rode on the back of Star King, picking up the corpses of these Fiends in the Eternal Melody before gazing coldly at the other direction in the sky and then proceeding for the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass on Star King’s back.
About five meters away, a Demon Envoy’s head ruptured in a split second, dropping from the sky.
Long Haochen had found out about this Demon Envoys mental probing long before. This was an ability similar to Eagle’s Eye. Only, he didn’t go deal personally with this Demon Envoy, only using his powerful mental power to leave him dead, the only shame being that it didn’t give any contribution points.
“A Fiend Commander of the eighth step for eight thousand contribution points, and two thousand contribution points for every Fiend of the seventh step. That’s already more than twenty thousand contribution points. Wait for me everyone. I will do my best to gather these points the fastest I can to join with you guys.”
Are you guys still well? Still safe and sound? Just wait for me, you must survive at least until then!
In the distance, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was already coming to view. Long Haochen was still far away, but could smell a reeking scent in the midst of the biting cold.
The demons are besieging the city?
In a hurry, Long Haochen brought Star King to the front of this battlefield, while transferring his internal spiritual energy at a fast speed, absorbing light essence to recover from the previous battle.
It was obviously the Gold Essence Foundation Armor that was being replenished this way, as Long Haochen basically didn’t make use of his own spiritual energy on the previous battle.
Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.
Among all six grand mountain passes, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was the most extraordinary one. In regards to the defensive aspect, it should be the best, because of being established entirely using the mountain as a basis, while the main buildings were inside the mountains. Given the environment, even the Demon God Emperor would hardly be able to pass through it in a short time.
However, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was also the hardest one to live in. The enemies weren’t the only ones affected by the extreme cold of the area! The officers and soldiers of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass were also affected by the vile weather.
The life here was monotonous and dull: outside of battle, everything would be all black. One would only be able to live inside the mountain, but such hard conditions would only contribute to increasing the knights’ persevering nature and sturdy builds.
