Chapter 564: Such a swarm?(I)

Hearing Long Haochen’s words, Crocell raised his eyebrows, and contrary to expectations, smiled, “Young knight of the eighth step, you’re attempting to challenge a mighty opponent of the ninth step? I know what you are thinking, that I can’t have the assistance of my demon god pillar here, right? Even so, how could you be a match against me? You have only one option: to serve or to die.”

Saying that, Crocell raised the long blade in his right hand, and the pitch-black edge of his blade was launched at Long Haochen.

This blade wasn’t moving very fast, but the instant it struck out, Long Haochen only felt as if locked by Crocell, and couldn’t avoid the blow no matter which way he tried to evade.

Crocell’s eyes had already turned deep blue. The Demon God of Clear Vision was not just talk: in time of battle, his Clear Vision Technique had crucial uses. It was able to create decisive opportunities against the enemy, as well as predict his next moves.

Under those conditions, his attacks were undoubtedly very effective.

None of the seventy-two demon gods was a simple character, whether in strength or intelligence.

Crocell’s attack aimed at intimidating as well as probing. He was unclear on Long Haochen’s precise level of cultivation.

Long Haochen drew back slightly, and his body abruptly traced an arc, wielding the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon with both his arms.

Biing. A resonant buzzing sound spread out on the whole first floor of the Tower of Eternity. Both Long Haochen’s feet slid backwards, only stopping on the edge of the tower. As the Divine Snail Shield spread glitters of intense orange light, Long Haochen’s body flashed in light, as the surroundings shook continuously under the flashes of different colors.

After bearing this attack, Long Haochen’s face was covered in astonishment. Indeed, he sensed that Crocell’s internal spiritual energy seemed just above a hundred thousand, definitely not reaching the second rank of the ninth step. But even at such a level of cultivation, relying on Divine Obstruction actually turned out to be totally insufficient. His body still glowed with the light of Bright Vengeance (the ability formed along with Divine Obstruction to reflect some damage back to the enemy), but the Soul Binding Chains’ light also spread. In other words, he had been wounded. Although they weren’t deep, despite the Divine Snail Shield’s defense and damage sharing with the others, he still sustained some light wounds. From this could be seen the dominance of Crocell’s strength.

“Little fly, you dare show such insolence.” Crocell didn’t stop at that. After the first strike came off smoothly, the long blade chopped at Haochen, drawing a pitch-black brilliance onto the sky, which aimed straight at Long Haochen like a bolt of thunder.

His blade’s edge seems to be using an ability similar to Spiritual Highland, Long Haochen determined instantly from the first blow.

What he didn’t know at all was that in the demons’ ranks, every demon god without his own clan certainly had far a less influential strength, but the Demon God Emperor encouraged them, frequently giving them the priority for some powerful equipment. Therefore, individual demon gods had comparatively better practical fighting strength.

And although the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell’s strength was ranked rather low among the individual demon gods, he couldn’t possibly have obtained the forty-ninth seat without sufficient strength. He was a real powerhouse of the ninth step and furthermore had the Clear Vision Technique at his disposal. If his cultivation reached the point of being able to unleash a domain, maybe he could rank among the top thirty-six.

In this probing, Long Haochen immediately suffered a loss.

However as a god’s chosen one, he naturally couldn’t let himself continuously suffer losses. Seeing the second attack of the enemy arrive, Long Haochen’s figure strangely disappeared without warning nor trace.

Bang. Crocell’s attack landed directly on the Tower of Eternity, causing a series of buzzes, he couldn’t help but blank out. Even with the Clear Vision Technique, he actually couldn’t tell out how Long Haochen had gone off.

Long Haochen obviously couldn’t possibly teleport himself back to Shengmo Dalu. A time of adjustment was required before teleporting back, and besides, he could absolutely not leave Crocell here by himself. Otherwise, if he explores and finds out about the deep secrets of the Tower of Eternity, and manages to obtain something, things could become a real pain.

In a flash of light, Long Haochen reappeared in his previous location, and this time, the hill-sized five-headed Haoyue was alongside him.
