Chapter 806: Yue Ye and Ah’Bao Arriving One after Another (II) (2/2)

The clansman’s done for. Huang Shuo’s expression became extremely ugly. He only had a few dozen imperial guards under his command. Every single one of them was a direct descendent and a true powerhouse. He had just lost one of them without knowing why. It would only be strange if he was in a good mood.

“When did the humans possess such a powerful assassin?” Cold light flashed through Ah’Bao’s eyes, but he did not become angered. He still gave off a cold presence.

Earlier, he and Huang Shuo had already checked their surroundings to the best of their ability, but the enemy still lurked nearby without being discovered. That only explained just how terrifyingly strong this assassin was. If he had not stopped in time and become surrounded by the Black Dragon guard, the strike earlier might have landed on him instead. Could he have dodged it?

Ah’Bao was actually unable to answer that question. Purplish dark light began to rise from his chest and afterwards, a layer of thick scales began to spread from there, covering his body in the blink of an eye. The other imperial guards did the same. However, Ah’Bao’s scales seemed much thicker than the others’. A pair of long horns curled out from his head and his aura strengthened drastically.

“The assassin should be at the fifth rank of the ninth step at the very least to be able to launch a fatal strike at such a close distance and retreat without being discovered. However, since when did the humans have an assassin at the fifth rank of the ninth step?” Huang Shuo asked sternly. Due to his fury, his hands had always been trembling! A clansman had died. That was a hundredth of the Devil Dragons’ forces. What would the Demon God Emperor think about him with that loss?

Ah’Bao said, “Now’s not the time to analyse what kind of powerhouses the humans have. The enemy’s already appeared. Everyone be careful.”

Now, his nervousness had actually decreased slightly. With so many imperial guards alert, even the Demon God Emperor would not be able to approach them without being discovered. And, after releasing his natural dragon armor, his defences had increased drastically. The natural dragon armour could rival epic tier armour from humans. It was the Devil Dragons’ most powerful defence.

Huang Shuo placed the corpse of his clansman into a storage device first, before saying sternly, “The assassin’s already left. They’ve retreated after a single strike. It was an instant kill. What an impressive assassin. Your highness, we might be in trouble. I’d advise us to reorganise here and wait for his majesty’s army to arrive. Otherwise, we’ll be forced to remain alert the entire time we travel. Once the enemies get a chance, they will definitely use it to launch an attack.”

Ah’Bao shook his head, “No, we’re the vanguard. It doesn’t matter if we don’t stop Long Haochen, but if we can’t even understand their movements completely, is there a point to having us as a vanguard? Everyone remain alert and be careful. Let’s keep going.”

Huang Shuo understood that it was rather unlikely for him to be able to persuade Ah’Bao right now. However, a clansman had already died and if the assassin appeared again and killed another clansman or two, the Demon God Emperor would definitely be furious.

Seeing Huang Shuo’s hesitation, Ah’Bao frowned, “Commander Huang, are you afraid?”

Anger flashed through Huang Shuo’s eyes, “Of course not. However, every single clansmen is the most valuable treasure to his majesty and your future, your highness. I don’t wish to see them take any risks.”

Ah’Bao snorted coldly, “I understand. The assassin hidden in the shadows in very dangerous. However, if we cower because of this, we’ll only dance to their tune. If I’ve guessed correctly, Long Haochen’s left the assassin here to delay our pursuit, so his subordinates can escape. Their attacks have already reached the Skynet Province, but he’s been fighting for the past few days. His army must be exhausted already. We can’t let go of this opportunity. And, the assassin’s already killed one of our clansmen. Only by continuing our advance can we lure him out and avenge our clansman.”

Huang Shuo frowned, “My advice stands the same.”

Ah’Bao said forcefully, “Your responsibility is to assist me. Don’t forget it. I’m the commander of the vanguard. Let’s keep going. Maintain your natural dragon armour.” As he said that, he left the encirclement with a flash and continued flying fowards.

Although Huang Shuo disagreed with Ah’Bao, he could only lead the imperial Black Dragon guard with him when he saw how Ah’Bao kept going.

Suddenly, Ah’Bao suddenly stopped despite only setting off earlier. He looked in front.

Huang Shuo saw him stop and thought he had sensed the assassin again. He hurried to his side and also released pitch-black light, turning Ah’Bao and his surroundings into something akin to a black hole. This was Huang Shuo’s domain.

Ah’Bao had not been attacked, but his gaze was fixated in a certain direction. Huang Shuo followed his gaze and his eyes immediately narrowed.

In the distance, a white speck hovered in the air quietly. It only appeared to be a white speck at first glance, but at a closer glance, it was a human. It was a human who sat on a chair.

Before Huang Shuo could say anything, Ah’Bao had already unleashed a deep below. In the next moment, purplish black light surged from his back and he basically crossed several thousand meters in a single moment.

The figure that hovered in the air drew closer and closer. He wore a set of comfortable clothing as his handsome appearance even rivalled the Moon Demon God Agares. His hands rested on the arms of his huge throne. Under his left hand was a dragon’s head, while under his right was a twelve-winged angel. White light completely enveloped him and the giant throne, just like they were a ball of light.
