Chapter 139: The fate of the original demons

“Eh, I have a buttload of things to do right now. I’m afraid I don’t have time to spend with you.” Han Shuo thought for a moment and then responded to Lisa.

With regards to Lisa, Han Shuo had rather disliked her in the beginning, but with his later interactions with her, he realized that Lisa wasn’t a vile person. She was just a bit too naive. Particularly towards the end of their interactions, Lisa had protected him in many ways. This made it difficult for Han Shuo to maintain his heart of revenge towards her like he had before.

However, as much as he didn’t dislike Lisa, he still didn’t have any feelings from her. Therefore, when Lisa made her suggestion, Han Shuo could only fob her off with a careless excuse.

When Han Shuo spoke thus, Lisa remained silent for a bit and then nodded. “Alright, I’ll return home tomorrow. I hope you’ll be stronger the next time we meet.”

Lisa was noticeably distracted when she said this, and she smiled after her words concluded. She walked back to the girls’ dormitory alone, her back shaking slightly as she did so.

Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Han Shuo only returned to his room when he saw Lisa disappear into the distance.

When he arrived in front of the dorm, Han Shuo had just pushed open the door when a longsword came stabbing towards his chest. His face changed drastically, and he tried to back out of the doorway without even thinking about it.

However, the sword’s movement was like lightning, as it’d already arrived at Han Shuo’s chest after the cold light had flashed. Han Shuo’s rapidly retreating body tilted sideways as he quickly fell to the side.

Pfft, the longsword stabbed deeply into Han Shuo’s body through the ribs, injuring him in that instant. The ambusher then quickly retracted the longsword with ease.

Although pain wracked his body, Han Shuo didn’t make a sound as the Demonslayer Edge flew out from his right sleeve. It pierced through the door and stabbed directly towards his attacker.

Dark green fighting aura suddenly exploded as the door turned into splinters. A figure, with its face covered, suddenly appeared in front of Han Shuo with the accompaniment of metallic clashes.

With Han Shuo’s current powers of vision, all concealment would basically be useless as long as he’d gotten a glimpse of a certain person once. Han Shuo hadn’t thought that Clark would be so scarily dogged. He’d retreated with all due haste when he hadn’t discovered anything last night, but he’d laid in wait tonight to make a move against Han Shuo.

Because he’d felt a bit apologetic towards Lisa, Han Shuo hadn’t been on guard this late at night and thus he’d been less cautious. He hadn’t thought that Clark would actually ambush him and so had been injured when the ambush started.

As an earth rider, Clark’s fighting aura should’ve been milky white. However, it looked like he finally understood that Han Shuo wasn’t an easy target after last night’s failure and was being much more careful this time.

These thoughts flashed through Han Shuo’s mind like lightning. Before the only partially hidden Clark sent another stroke his way, Han Shuo looked at Clark as his legs suddenly exerted power and he madly retreated outside, crying out loudly, “Assassin!”

Bam! Han Shuo’s back suddenly ran into a sturdy and chilly wall. When he turned back for a look, he discovered that there was only air behind him. His heart immediately tightened as he understood that Clark had come prepared this time.

Han Shuo had concentrated all his attention after Clark had appeared and could sense that there was no one else around. As an earth rider, for Clark to have set up the water magic in the surroundings that was this sturdy ice wall meant that he must’ve used a costly magic scroll that didn’t need magic as a catalyst. This was why he could release the sturdy ice wall in the surroundings, completely blocking off Han Shuo’s escape path and all sound from traveling.

Indeed, the sturdy ice wall didn’t break when his back hit it. Han Shuo patently saw a jeering look flash through Clark’s eyes, his entire face so muffled that only his eyes showed. Another ball of dark green fighting aura then flared out, forming the appearance of rolling waves and churned towards Han Shuo.

His mind racing, the Demonslayer Edge, that’d just returned to his hand, suddenly howled as magical yuan infused it. It danced with exceedingly hot flames to counter Clark’s wave of fighting aura attack.

It was a pity that Clark felt a strange power suddenly appear when he sensed the magical yuan infused Demonslayer Edge, halfway through his attack. His eyes flashed and Han Shuo discovered that the roiling fighting aura attack was dark green in the front, yet milky white in the back.

He didn’t even need to think that Clarke was afraid of failing when he sensed the unknown power. He finally exposed his hidden strength and fully displayed the ferocity of an earth rider.
