Chapter 254: The use of killing aura (2/2)

“Young man, did you know that after killing a lot of people, the killing aura can be used to increase your strength?” Bollands was silent for a slight moment after Han Shuo had left, then he suddenly shot a weird look at Han Shuo.

When he spoke, an intense wave of killing aura exploded out like a river that had been just undammed. All of a sudden, the stomach-churning smell of blood spread out and it approached Han Shuo with cold intent, like it was something physical.

“Oh god!” Lawrence wailed, then he backed off in terror until his back was against the wall. Even then, his forehead was still covered with cold sweat as he looked at Bollands with a pale expression.

However, Han Shuo, who was closer to Bollands, was not afraid. He casually cycled the magical yuan in his body quickly, causing the evil aura hidden in his body to rush out furiously, clashing with the physical killing aura from Bollands. When the auras collided, sounds of collision could actually be heard in the air.

Even some of the table and chairs in the room continuously trembled. What was more terrifying was that after the evil aura rushed out of Han Shuo’s body, it formed itself into spirals that were difficult to see with the eye, and actually started to consume Bollands’ killing aura.

“When you said using killing aura, does it mean like this?” Han Shuo had a smile on his face when he plainly said this. While he spoke, he also stopped his magical yuan and the room returned to normal.

Right now, Han Shuo had already undergone three months of closed door cultivation in the cemetery of death. Adding onto the fact that he had absorbed the specters from the forbidden place, he had a much deeper understanding of the demonic arts than what Chu Canglan had left behind. His manipulation of the evil aura in the bloodlust realm had also reached a level where he could do as he wished. If Han Shuo wanted, he could absorb the killing aura in Bollands’ body like he had absorbed the specters from the forbidden place.

Bollands had had an indifferent expression until this point when he looked at Han Shuo with a piercing gaze, then he said with a trembling voice, “How is this possible? How could you use it even more familiarly than me? You also know how to use this sort of power?”

Han Shuo only understood it the moment Bollands spoke. All swordsmen and knights cultivated fighting aura, but none of them could use evil aura and killing intent. However Han Shuo, who cultivated the demonic arts, was very well versed with using this type of strange power. That why Bollands had been surprised when Han Shuo had showed off his abilities.

“No, you didn’t use fighting aura at all. How is that possible?” Shock, loss, and confusion instantly filled Bollands’ heart. He stepped in front of Han Shuo and glared at him with scorching eyes, like he was fighting for Han Shuo to give an answer.

Han Shuo knew that this was a bad situation to be caught in by now. He took a deep breath and explained with a smile, “I cultivate a special type of martial technique, it’s different to the cultivating of fighting aura that most people do.”

“Okay, Bollands, stay outside for now. Lawrence, you two can come in now!” A benevolent voice seemed to ring out from the walls at that moment.

Lawrence immediately pulled Han Shuo towards him, then apologized to Bollands, “Grandpa Bollands, my master has told us to go in. Let’s chat later.”

The wall behind Han Shuo split open at that moment, and Lawrence pulled Han Shuo in. After the two of them entered, the crack in the wall healed miraculously.

There was an extremely wide training field past the wall. Apart from a few strangely shaped boulders, there were no other decorations. An old man sat on top of one of the boulders at the center off the field, and even though he had white hair and beard, he still looked very energized.

The old man had a square face, and seemed rather benevolent. He sat ramrod straight in a pure white warrior uniform. Even though he was sitting down, he looked extraordinary and seemed like he would be rather tall if he stood up.

“Teacher!” Lawrence bowed and greeted the old man respectfully the moment he entered.

The old man nodded, then he looked at Lawrence and said softly, “Rise.”

Lawrence straightened himself, then he pulled Han Shuo to sit down on a piece of boulder. After the two of them took their places, Lawrence began, “This is Bryan, Phoebe’s boyfriend. I mentioned him to you before!”

The old man’s gaze immediately fell onto Han Shuo after he heard Lawrence’s words, and he carefully examined Han Shuo carefully without speaking. After quite a while, he finally nodded and said, “Although Phoebe is my youngest disciple, she has the most talent. Her future is unmeasurable. I hope she will inherit my martial techniques. You won’t hold her back, right?”

“Of course not!” Han Shuo replied with a smile that was neither reserved nor fearful. Instead, he appeared rather laid back.
