Chapter 318: Saving the beauty

Cough…

A shrill, miserable scream rang out from the tent. This extremely tragic scream, which wasn’t completely suppressed by the boundary on the tent, came to an abrupt end. Han Shuo caught a faint reverberation with his great sensitivities.

The only remaining yin demon slowly drifted over to that direction in a probe. However, Han Shuo had already felt magic fluctuation ripple out in all directions before the yin demon even came close. With his extraordinary knowledge, he immediately knew that this was a soul inspection magic. Han Shui hurriedly withdrew the yin demon.

After the soul inspection magic was released, a dazzling rift suddenly cracked open in the sky. It patrolled the surrounding area like a bright eye.

Han Shuo immediately held his breath and entered the realm in which nothing affected him, his body hidden in the lush foliage of a big tree.

The fluctuation of the soul inspection magic drifted out gently like water ripples. When it passed through Han Shuo, he felt a bit of surprise. However, he easily avoided the inspection with a tight lock down on his consciousness.

“There’s someone there!” A soft cry suddenly rang out from the tent.

A figure shot out from the tent like a streak of lightning. A team of knights followed closely behind that silhouette, quickly chasing towards the east.

Rustling sounds travelled quickly in from that area, Han Shuo clearly heard that a person was swiftly running away from where the knights stationed. It seemed that there were also others who were paying attention to this troop of the Brut Merchant Alliance. However, they must’ve not concealed themselves very well since their tracks were discovered.

Han Shuo remained where he was without moving. His eyes swept again through the tents in the distance, stopping at the few in the center of the group. The withdrawn yin demon was once again released. It flew towards the direction of where the sound had travelled.

What had the knights of the Brut Merchant Alliance come to the Dark Forest for? Han Shuo was full of doubts, his bright eyes looking at the tent in the center as he silently pondered.

Rumble…

A huge explosion echoed from the direction in which that figure had rushed toward. Afterwards, a strange cooing laughter resounded sinisterly, “Heh heh, I didn’t expect two beautiful women. Don’t think of getting away.”

“Cecilia, you go first. I’ll stop him!” A familiar female voice rang out from the distance.

Han Shuo had been calmly watching the tent, and suddenly paled upon hearing this voice. His heart had been as still as clear water, yet was instantly disrupted. He shot out like a sharp arrow, flying across the sky, drawing a silver arc through the air.

It was Emily’s voice. It it had been someone who Han Shuo didn’t know, he naturally wouldn’t have poked his nose in their business. However, since it was Emily in that area, he definitely wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

“Want to run? Keke, you can’t escape!” The nasty cooing of an owl rang out again, accompanied by the sounds of spells and weapons colliding.

Han Shuo’s heart was on fire with anxiety as he utilized the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens to its extreme. He reached that area in the span of three breaths, much faster than the yin demon.

Broken, uprooted trees filled the area. Emily and Cecilia wore pure green magic robes, their delicate faces painted with green plant sap. Their entire bodies seemed to blend into one with the Dark Forest as they leaned on a big tree trunk and ceaselessly casted magic spells.

Several members of the Dark Mantle with their strength, agility, and endurance enhanced by Cecilia’s magic were fiercely throwing themselves in front of the attacks from the Brut knights.

There was a thin middle-aged man with short, red hair and a cruel smile hanging on his face. He stood behind the knights with his hands behind his back, watching Emily and Cecilia struggle while cackling nonstop.

“Who is it?!” The thin, middle-aged man suddenly discovered Han Shuo dashing over. Surprise flashing through his eyes, he raised his left hand to form a complicated magic formation. An enormous force then surged out from his palm and quickly assaulted Han Shuo.

Bang!

It was as if being hit by an iron mountain. Han Shuo immediately felt dizzy. He glared furiously at the middle-aged man, unable to move forward.
