Chapter 524: Counter kill (II)
The sudden surprise attack directed at Cai’er made him make his first personal move, and by chance, his reaction was fast enough or Cai’er would really have suffered a tragic fate. The Sickle of the God of Death was certainly very powerful, but the gap in spiritual energy made it impossible to completely unleash the weapon’s power. More accurately speaking, the more powerful the weapon, the more strength it requires from the user, to display its real might.
The following course of action felt unreal even to Sheng Yue’s eyes. In all of demon history, Allocer was probably the demon god that died the most easily.
Allocer’s death was not only due to the obstruction of the Golden Foundation Knight and Sheng Yue’s surprise attack, but also because of his lack of preparation. Yet it all happened too fast, or else, he simply had to call out to his distant demon god pillar, and he wouldn’t have died in Sheng Yue’s hands.
But unfortunately, not everything goes fairly in this world.
“Thank you, brother. These spoils of wars should go to you.” Sheng Yue passed Allocer’s corpse to the Golden Foundation Knight without any stinginess.
The Golden Foundation Knight shook his head, “Hello, senior. I cannot accept this. The provisional Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple and twelfth Golden Knight reports to you.”
No mistake, this person who stopped two demon gods and created the opportunity for Sheng Yue to kill the Blazing Lion Demon God was none other than Long Haochen.
Originally Long Haochen and Han Yu were on their way to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. But while they were still quite far off, Long Haochen’s senses detected a large battle going on here. He had Han Yu head to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while he rode Star King at a high altitude to see whether he could be needed somewhere. Although he didn’t take Long Tianying’s mission too much to heart, Long Haochen wanted to amass the most contribution points possible to the best extent of his ability.
After focusing his attention on the area around the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he almost instantly found out about Cai’er’s battles, the Sickle of the God of Death giving him the most direct indication.
Long Haochen was really overjoyed at this news and was preparing to join her when she suffered the surprise attack.
The following course of action was simple. Long Haochen united perfectly with Star King to hurry at the greatest speed, just like a golden meteor passing through the battlefield. It was too late to come to Cai’er’s rescue, because of the immediate crisis she was confronted with. Extremely anxious, Long Haochen had already put out his whole strength. After experiencing many years of battles, he had a good ability to make predictions in the battlefield. Seeing Cai’er alright and the two demon gods retreating, he chose to appear in the enemies’ only path of return. This is how the scene of assassination of the Blazing Lion Demon God came about.
Sheng Yue’s appellation as Brother’ made Long Haochen almost cry out loud. He was fooling an elder… Therefore, wanting to hide his identity, he rapidly changed the subject, as this was not an appropriate time to reveal himself.
Hearing Long Haochen’s voice and speech, Sheng Yue immediately had a suspicious look. This voice was quite familiar, but he wasn’t able to identify it immediately. All he could infer from it was that this twelfth Golden Knight was of quite a young age. He already had the knowledge that the twelfth Golden Foundation Armor should be in the Knight Temple’s treasury, so this Twelfth Golden Knight should be a newly promoted Golden Foundation Knight. Yet he called himself Provisional Saint Knight Head.
The status of the Saint Knight Head was, in the Knight Temple, only second to the Temple Head and auxiliary heads. How could it be held by a newly promoted Golden Foundation Knight?
However, no matter how Sheng Yue was puzzled over this, he didn’t have any suspicion toward Long Haochen, who had already used actions to prove himself.
“Let’s head back to the city first.” Sheng Yue waved his hand and flew back to the Exorcist Mountain Pass along with Long Haochen, as the tyrannical murderous spirits and twisted fluctuations slowly withdrew.
This battle didn’t end as a victory for the Assassin Temple, but getting rid of a demon god greatly stimulated the soldiers’ morale.
Sheng Yue faced the Exorcist Mountain Pass, raising high above his head the corpse of the Blazing Lion Demon God. Immediately, a surge of acclamations followed from the Exorcist City. A lot of soldiers were stirred to the extent of shedding tears.
Looking silently at the Exorcist Mountain Pass, already unrecognizable due to the damage, Long Haochen felt a great pain. As the trigger of this Holy War, he wasn’t given any complaint from the Alliance, yet who knew how many soldiers died in the battlefields.
I will definitely thoroughly crush demonkind, so peace can reappear in the continent of Shengmo Dalu. There will be no more wars. Long Haochen secretly pledged this to himself. In the meantime, he slowly started to chant an incantation.
