Chapter 807: Yue Ye and Ah’Bao Arriving One after Another (III) (2/2)
Huang Shuo’s level-headedness made him change the order. He ordered all of the imperial guards to pursue their opponents only to a certain range, to not exceed fifty kilometers away. Once they encountered any powerful enemies, they were to immediately signal for reinforcements.
Just when he arranged this, Huang Shuo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He basically charged forwards without any hesitation at all while quickly turning around. He lifted his right hand and an ink-black blade slashed down behind him, like it could cut through air.
A speck of black light appeared in the air silently as well, landing perfectly on the edge of his black.
Ding! With that, Huang Shuo felt like he had been struck by lightning. His entire body quivered. He only felt an icy-cold aura enter his body through his weapon.
Even though his blade was a treasure and filtered away most of the aura, the coldness still reached his body, before immediately erupted.
Killing intent. Could this assassin force killing intent into my body?
When Huang Shuo paled in fright, he released his domain as well.
As the greatest powerhouse of the imperial Black Dragon guards, his control over his domain was outstanding. He did not let his domain expand, instead forming a black barrier around him.
The black barrier was like an eggshell made of black crystal, guarding Huang Shuo. However, after the speck of black light had launched the attack, it vanished into the air quietly once more.
Huang Shuo’s forehead became covered in perspiration. It was not Cai’er. The assassin just then definitely was not Cai’er who had lead his clansmen away, but it was definitely the one who had killed his clansman instantly.
Her assassination was just too terrifying. If Huang Shuo had not charged forward immediately out of pure reflex, the sneak attack would have succeeded.
But even with that being the case, the cold killing intent continued to wreak havoc in his body, not just originating from his blade, but also from the back of his head. Only after he had expanded his domain did he feel a cold sensation from the back of his head. Clearly, he would have been dead for sure if he was just slightly slower.
What terrified him the most was the assassin’s mysteriousness. They would never stay put after a single strike, without launching continuous attacks and instead seemingly vanishing into thin air. He was unable to sense the assassin’s location at all. How could he not be on edge against an opponent like that? In that moment, he could no longer care about his eighteen clansmen. He concentrated on sensing everything that went on around him and constantly moved about, afraid the assassin would launch another attack. No matter what, his life was most important at the end of the day.
Long Haochen and Ah’Bao’s battle had unfolded long before Huang Shuo had been attacked.
A huge, purple sword appeared in Ah’Bao’s hand. His sword seemed extremely special, because the light it shone with changed in gradient, a kind that Long Haochen had never seen.
It was purple that changed in gradient.
It would not have been that obvious if the gradient of purple grew lighter the futher out it was. However, it was the exact opposite. The colour of the sword grew deeper towards the end, which made it stand out. At the same time, it made it seem stunning.
The purple sword produced a streak of beautiful in the light, before vanishing in the next instant. Ah’Bao had already appeared behind Long Haochen.
Only then did a string of clangs ring out in the air.
“What speed!” Long Haochen was surprised. With Yue Ye’s warning, he had already assumed Ah’Bao to be very powerful, but he had never thought that Ah’Bao would reach such a level in strength. In the moment Ah’Bao had moved with a flash, green light had already emerged from Long Haochen’s chest. The green light directly drew Long Haochen’s Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in front of his body, which was why he could block Ah’Bao’s attack. Otherwise, Long Haochen would had suffered slightly from the strike even if he could block it having been caught by surprise.
The aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation immediately erupted, forcing Ah’Bao to a halt when he was about to launch another attack. Afterwards, he saw thirteen balls of light immediately fuse with Long Haochen.
Clad in the Armour of Eternity, a Sword of Eternity had appeared in Long Haochen’s hand.
Three balls of light slowly revolved around him. The dragon’s head and twelve-winged angel both lit up, as if they were glaring at Ah’Bao.
“Is this the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation?” Ah’Bao asked coldly.
Long Haochen nodded, “Looks like you really have improved drastically from a few years ago. If I’ve checked correctly, your cultivation’s already reached the fourth rank of the ninth step. And, your body’s also at the fourth rank of the ninth step. Only you Devil Dragons can achieve something like that.”
