Chapter 531: Moonless and Windy Night (III)
A sad shrill scream echoed fiercely rang out, immediately alarming the whole camp.
Right at that time, several lights abruptly burst out toward different directions of the demon camp. The distance between one of them and Long Haochen’s group was no more than two hundred meters.
The attack now discovered, Long Haochen immediately understood the current situation. Although he didn’t know by which means the demon discovered the assassins, it was clear that the time had come for retreat.
As expected, those lights simultaneously launched from all over the large demon camp. Without exception, those bright rays burst out, producing ripples of light as they retreated rapidly, flowing together into ribbons of light that quietly faded into thin air, clearly becoming invisible as they began to flee towards the city.
Under Long Haochen’s attentive watch, the glint that was nearest to Cai’er and him instantly burst out with incomparable brilliance, letting out a wide expanse of grey light encompassing at least four or five camp divisions. Everywhere this grey passed, the ground seemed as if struck by meteors. Those camp divisions totally disappeared in the midst of fierce sounds of explosions. Then, the figure that was its source disappeared totally, sinking into the sky as it faded away.
Clearly, even if they were found out, the assassins were still set on making a great score before departing.
Long Haochen didn’t have the leasure to ponder about these issues, and quickly turned to transmit his voice to Cai’er, saying, “Prepare to act. In a moment you will see me move against the enemy, then, after we clash, I want you to immediately prepare to use the Sickle of the God of Death while I feign a panicked retreat to draw them in. You will be hiding yourself on my escape route. When I head to your direction for a counterattack, we will attack from both sides. Understood?”
“Understood.” Cai’er immediately replied, clearly understanding Long Haochen’s plan.
Due to that sharp shrill as well as the dozens of glints that had risen so suddenly, the whole demon camp immediately became disorderly. Countless demons were rushing out from the camp, and the ones outside were also risen up, looking for the enemies’ tracks in a frenzy.
However, finding a dozen or so people in this camp of one million was easier said than done, not to mention that these assassins were masters in the art of concealment. Looking for them was no different than looking for a needle in the sea.
In the center of the demon camp, seven demon god pillars flashed out, aiming in one direction with perfect cohesion.
This direction was between the demon camp and the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
As expected, from the direction they aimed for, several figures came out. They were visibly stunned for some time, before aiming to return in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass at even greater speed.
Radiances shot out from the demon camp to chase after them from the sky. In the meantime, each of those seven demon god pillars formed an intense ray. Among the lot, two chased after the figures that had come out, and the other five were rushing toward different directions in the camp. Their bodies all refracted the demon god pillars. They were visibly searching for the concealed assassins.
In front of such a situation, Long Haochen couldn’t help but gasp in secret admiration. The demons were really powerful. For these seven demon gods to be able to react so rapidly in such a situation made him think, I’m afraid that in this surprise attack, the Assassin Temple will have some losses. I just hope that these losses won’t be too great.
He was originally prepared to wait for some more time, but seeing the current situation, he decided to shift his plan earlier.
Quietly standing straight, Long Haochen swept his eyes around, taking in the full situation. He abruptly soared up, bursting out with a resplendent bright light which turned into an extreme burst of brilliant light aimed to all four directions. That was Light Meteors Shower Strike.
A great expanse of bright golden light meteors fiercely struck the demon camp below. What Long Haochen sought in this blow was not the offensive strength but the area of effect. A large area in the camp was blown away by Light Meteor Shower, but as the large majority of the demons inside had already rushed out from their tents, they were able to hastily block Long Haochen’s attack.
After the launch of this attack, Long Haochen’s whole body came to a standstill, before he turned and ran away, making a mad rush without leaving the ground.
On his right hand, Rippling Light was sparkling brilliantly, continuously spraying out myriads of golden lights, as it was thrust in the midst of an area of lower levelled demons.
The demons ate quite a severe loss from Long Haochen’s actions. The ordinary ones of the fourth and fifth step were all crushed in the face of his attacks. How could they have a way to survive that? Moreover, it was reinforced by Ripples of Light.
