Chapter 1487 - Me Against Myself (2/2)

Hao Ren and his team needed to quickly hide and conceal their scents. At the same time, they had to go to the temple of Poseidon under the cover of the buildings.

Coming face to face with the enemy was inevitable.

After moving on for a distance, Hao Ren sensed several fast-moving hostile targets ahead. It seemed that a clash was unavoidable.

He waved to motion everyone to take cover behind a collapsed palace wall while he quietly peeped from behind the ruins.

A moment later, several heavily-armed high-order demon hunters appeared.

When Hao Ren saw the leading commander, he cursed, “Sh*t. I’m a f*cking jinx.”

The one leading the small squad of demon hunters was Hasse. The commander of the sacred army had personally come to investigate?

Hessiana turned to look at Hasse, who was crouching behind a wall. “What are you doing here?”

Before Hessiana’s voice trailed off, Hasse was also heard saying, “What am I doing here?”

Both Hessiana and Hasse were stupefied.

Just then, the Hasse who was leading a team of demon hunters suddenly stopped.

The old demon hunter possessed terrific intuition. Even though Hao Ren and his team had concealed their scents, the demon hunter’s single eye was locked on their hiding place.

“Who is it?” The other demon hunters had come to their senses and drawn their weapons.

Lily flinched. The hair on her ears and tail stood on end.

Hao Ren exchanged looks with Hasse and said, “I’ll go first.”

Hasse nodded in acknowledgment and mouthed back, “You take the other demon hunters, leave ‘me’ to me.”

The next second, Hao Ren lunged out with his pair of swords.

On his back, a few artilleries appeared.

The demon hunters led by Hasse were no amateurs. When Hao Ren emerged from behind the wall, the experienced fighters were already expecting him. Hao Ren’s sudden and weird attack method did not gain him any advantage. Two demon hunters up front immediately summoned their runic shields, and they had long swords in their hands. Meanwhile, the fighters at the back raised their crossbows, aimed at the enemy in the air, and pulled the triggers.

Hao Ren swung both the Godslayer as well as the Worldbreaker, tearing and distorting the surrounding air. The gravitational field of the resulting spatial rift caused their bolts to stray off course. After he evaded the first wave of attacks, Hao Ren hit the runic shields with his swords.

Hao Ren then fired his artillery. Dust and smoke rose from the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Lily and Hessiana lunged out to join in on the battle.

As the demon hunters fought to hold off the counterattack, Hasse, the leading commander, frowned. He found that the enemies were no amateurs too, and his elite warriors may not be able to score an easy win.

Hasse, the leading commander, drew his silver sword and sprang forward.

Just as he did, he heard a voice amid the smoke. Hasse froze as he heard the voice say, “Do you know me?”

Hasse looked. He did a double take when he saw a demon hunter, who appeared identical to him, charging at him.

They did not just have the same faces, but they also had the same equipment, body movement and build.

Hasse of 44 BC was stunned.

On one side was Hasse, who was from the future. He had the advantages of hindsight and 2,000 years more of combat experience. On the other side was the Hasse of the current era, who was stunned and clueless about what was going on. It was not hard to guess who would get the upper hand.

Unlike Lily, who was still in her young body and had relatively low combat strength, Hasse did not have such a limitation.

Hao Ren shattered the weapons of his enemies with his badass cosmic-fragment swords and took control of the situation. He then glanced over to see how the two Hasses were fighting, and he broke out in cold sweat. “He’s not showing any mercy even when he’s beating himself up!”
