Chapter 601: Multicolored Divine Sword (II) (2/2)

This sword strike lit the whole sky with a purplish golden streak, rendering it deep black.

This was Long Haochen’s true full-powered strike, concentrating his whole strength in his sword. During his attack, he felt as if he became one with his sword. At the same time all the sword spirit on the Aria of the Goddess of Light unleashed its might in that purplish golden streak of light. It let out a sort of sigh, which expressed a great feeling of release.

Right, this instant the divine sword of the Holy Sword Wielder Ye Wushang was finally back. This sword finally had that grateful bearing it used to have in those years.

With no sound whatsoever of collision, the instant the man and the demon crossed, Star King reappeared in midair, sustaining Long Haochen’s weight while flying away to the distance.

To one’s astonishment, the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus didn’t chase, but stood afloat with a dull look, preserving the same position of thrusting motion.

But to one’s shock, as the black color of his five meter long flagged pike rapidly faded off, one could clearly see a trail of blood extending from the peak of his pike to his hand. Moreover, a large scar had appeared in the midst of the armor transformed from that Hell Dragon.

Long Haochen’s sword strike was blocked by Asmodeus, but he wasn’t able to block the sword intent accumulated inside, a sword intent of real might!

It went so far as to concentrate all his spirit’s forces, reaching a level even he himself couldn’t possibly resist no matter what.

At this very moment, Asmodeus was deeply shocked by that sword strike, and understood clearly that if Long Haochen’s cultivation was on par with his own, that previous sword strike would already have taken his life.

Asmodeus became aware for the first time that their martial skills were actually so differing. That weak opponent relied solely on his sword intent to wound him. He, who had always believed that he would not even necessarily lose a duel against a demon god in the top twelve. But now he was really certain that there’s really a gap between more powerful opponents and him.

Recovering the flagged pike, Asmodeus’ three heads moved slightly. The ox head and ram head unconsciously gave similar looks to the human head in the middle.

The human head took a deep breath, muttering aloud, “Long Haochen.”

“Boss, should we chase? If we activate the demon god pillar, that youngster is no opponent for us.” The Ox Head asked in severity.

The human head shook head, “We won’t chase. Have you forgotten about His Majesty’s orders? That if we meet a human knight called Long Haochen, or a human knight riding a magical beast with multiple heads, we cannot act excessively. Let him go. His Majesty surely has his ways to dispose of him.”

The ram head had its eyes shut, “Boss, I think that we should go into seclusion for some time. After we reach the Exorcist Mountain Pass, let’s temporarily not participate in the battle.”

The human head nodded, “I think so too. I have a path in view. Let’s hope to find another chance to cross hands with this human in the future.”

As he said that, Asmodeus recovered his pike, and his armor dissolved rapidly, returning to the shape of the Hell Dragon. However this Hell Dragon had a long wound now.

Asmodeus did not know that the instant Long Haochen was riding Star King, a mouthful of blood sprayed out on his Golden Foundation Armor’s mask.

His battle against Asmodeus looked like a simple showdown, but in practice it needed him to spend massive mental and physical efforts. The enemy’s pressure was really too terrible: for instance, just remaining in such a constant state of vigilance, to be prepared in case Asmodeus borrowed power from his demon god pillar or entered Demon Godification Mode. In that case, he would have no other choice but to immediately go after the others and launch the Tower of Eternity’s transporting ability.

Fortunately, though he didn't know it, Asmodeus was still calmly contemplating on his sword instead of chasing. The Star King’s full flight speed soon passed over the demon army, after meeting with his team which went further away.

Riding on his Hell Dragon’s back, Asmodeus looked at the distant Long Haochen. His eyes all had meditative looks. That sword ray’s instant was deeply engraved in his memories, and a surge of comprehension had arisen gradually in his mind.

Long Haochen didn’t know that right because of his fight against Asmodeus, this Dragon Rider Demon God would a short time later rise dramatically in strength, entering the top twenty-four of the demon gods.
