Chapter 534: Goblin Knight (III) (2/2)

By now, he had turned back to his original handsome looks, only his face appearing pale, and his scarlet colored eyes far darker.

Without the least hesitation, the shadow-form separated itself from Seere to run away.

Even for a demon god, fully using an ability separating oneself from his body was not such an easy feat. This would come with an enormous consumption, and result in an inability to use Demon Godification for some time after that. And furthermore, it comes with the obligation of giving up on the equipment on the body. This increases even further the effects of depleting one’s strength.

Without using the Great Demonic Collapse Technique, it would be impossible for the user to return to his peak condition.

Back then, Long Haochen’s group managed to kill the Snake Demon God in such a state.

Seere was already really afraid. Facing Long Haochen as he wielded his Condemning Revolving Sword and in his peak condition, he didn’t have the slightest possibility to fight back. In a state where both parties were borrowing outside help to reach the ninth step, how could he compare with a god’s chosen one at the ninth step?

Seere’s fear was not only based on the strength wielded by Long Haochen, but also on the characteristic aura about him. He already discerned Haoyue’s own aura in it. In such a situation, how could he do something else than escape? As long as he managed to pass the message, the other demon gods would join hands to beat Long Haochen, and his contribution would be enough to gain the Demon God Emperor’s favor, directly giving him a place amongst the top 36 demon gods. The Demon God Emperor had his own ways to increase the strength of a demon god.

However, the Goblin Knight’s thought was based on the major premise that he would surely make it back alive, to be able to notify the other demon gods.

The instant he turned his head, the bright color of the golden barrier released by Long Haochen suddenly gained in intensity. This instant, it not only blocked one’s line of sight but also all sounds. Even if Seere were to shout, the outside world wouldn’t be able to hear him.

Ever since starting to go all out, Long Haochen had already made the preparations to adapt to any turn of situation, to avoid letting the enemy have any chance.

In Seere’s only path of escape, a pitch black shadow suddenly appeared. It had a sad and beautiful appearance, carrying along long and narrow tree leaves in the night sky, and naturally letting off an impression of desolation.

First of the seven arts of death, Death in Childhood.

Cai’er finally made a move.

As early as when Long Haochen brought Seere here, Cai’er was concealed to the side, attentively watching this battle. She was waiting for Long Haochen’s signal.

Cai’er didn’t at all expect that Long Haochen’s current strength was actually enough to really face a demon god head-on by himselfeven if this demon god was only at the peak of the eighth step.

It was not only about facing off, but Long Haochen managed to even accomplish a victorious battle. Cai’er was starting to really understand why her great-grandfather felt some jealousy towards Long Haochen. His status as Saint Knight Head was definitely well deserved. Amongst all Saint Knights of the eighth step, was there even anyone who could compare with him in this fused state?

Seere didn’t know what Long Haochen did, but Cai’er understood thoroughly. Against Seere’s full strength attack, Long Haochen obviously didn’t use an ability of spatial transportation as his cultivation was far from sufficient from that. He teleported using Haoyue.

Through Long Haochen and Haoyue’s blood contract, he was pulled to Haoyue’s world, before initiating the fusion and transporting himself to the two divine swords. The only thing that baffled Cai’er totally was Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. She knew about this divine sword, but compared to before, its power and color had undergone colossal changes, jumping unexpectedly to the epic tier.

Through observation of this battle, Cai’er deeply realized the gap in strength between her and Haochen.

Maybe she could, by relying on the seven arts of the god of death, compare to Long Haochen in burst power, but Long Haochen had many methods to escape battle. In contrast, her seven arts of the god of death came with a considerable and terrifying cost.

While Cai’er had these thoughts, she felt very blessed for the man she liked to be so strong and incomparable. Although it wouldn’t fit Cai’er’s character to have a smitten look while watching Long Haochen’s great might while fighting off the Goblin Knight, her feelings couldn’t help but be stirred.

But as the Saint Daughter of Samsara, there’s no way she would let her feelings affect her decisions on the battlefield. As Seere’s other body was swept by Condemning Revolving Swords, Cai’er knew that the time had come.
