Chapter 426: Unstoppable (2/2)

Now that he saw Ashburn and Charles being humiliated, Lawrence naturally felt extremely overjoyed. Moreover, if the duo was killed at such a crucial moment, the whole Lancelot Empire will undoubtedly fall into his control. Lawrence’s heart palpitated with excitement as he imagined the scene where everyone pledged their allegiance to him.

When Lawrence cried out in surprise, everyone hastily turned their attention back to the crystal ball in Sabakas’ hand.

The scene within the crystal ball was still fixed on the heavily destroyed area. In the sky above the desolate land, a sinister looking Han Shou was roaring wildly. The thick blood clouds behind him emanated a heavy smell of blood, constantly rumbling as he roared.

A bolt of red lighting suddenly appeared from the bottomless crater and rapidly flew in front of Han Shuo. The blood-red eyed Han Shuo caught it at one go. It was precisely the lethal Demonslayer Edge that had caused the frightening attack.

When the vicious Demonslayer Edge entered his hand, a frightening might spread out. His scarlet red eyes scanned the area, and he immediately charged in sacred knight Blount’s direction. A hundred-meter long scarlet red sword light was suddenly shot out from the Demonslayer Edge. The scarlet sword light whistled and pulled along a portion of the blood cloud as if it had bizarre powers.

Han Shuo was like a demon that descended from another plane, his expression malevolent as he held the Demonslayer Edge and charged towards Blount. The Demonslayer Edge effortlessly destroyed everything in his path. As he flew onward, terrifying power spread out to the whole area.

Many of Ashburn’s troops that were within a hundred meters of Han Shuo were affected, all of them being sliced and diced into pieces in succession by the sword light, causing a bountiful rain of blood to fall. Along the path where Han Shuo flew, sand and stones were sent flying. As the sword light streaked across the area, it left many deep gorges.

“My two esteem sacred rank experts, what, what was going on?” Grand Duke Ashburn asked Blount and earth sacred magus Dempus with a trembling voice as he looked at the fiend-like Han Shuo charging at them imposingly.

Han Shuo’s current demeanor was really too terrifying and wild. Nothing could stop him along the way, and anyone who dared to obstruct him was obliterated under the hundred-meter-long sword light. In just a brief moment, five hundred elite soldiers under Ashburn were killed.

These elite soldiers had been protecting Ashburn, and didn’t participate in the ongoing battle. All of them were death soldiers that Ashburn had meticulously asked others to train, consuming a tremendous amount of Ashburn’s gold coins and manpower. Each of them was much stronger than the average soldier.

However, these elite soldiers that Ashburn relied on were sliced apart like paper when facing the crazed Han Shuo. Not a single one of them could actually survive an attack from Han Shuo.

“For some unknown reason, that wicked fellow’s strength suddenly rose sharply. It’s as though he could borrow the energy from the dead that had not dispersed. Every strike was filled with frightening negative energy. I truly have no idea how he did it!” Sacred knight Blount had a grave expression as he replied Ashburn.

“What should we do, what should we do now that he’s charging over?” Eldest prince Charles voice trembling as he shrieked. He was clearly intimidated by Han Shuo’s sinister appearance and frightening strength.

“There’s no other way, we could only retreat. Currently, no one in the entire Lancelot Empire can stop him!” Earth sacred magus Dempus immediately answered. Although this decision caused him to feel aggrieved, he really didn’t have any other ideas.

“What did the two of you say in the beginning? There’s no need to worry even if there was a sacred expert? But now you can’t even obstruct a young fellow? You guys are useless! Where else can I withdraw to? If I leave Ossen City, all our plans and efforts will be wasted!” Charles was obviously somewhat hysterical and even spoke incoherently as he was truly frightened.

“Charles, shut up! The judgment of the two esteemed sacred rank experts will not be wrong, you better calm down!” When Ashburn saw that the expressions of the two sacred rank experts turned ugly, he hastily berated Charles.

After getting scolded by Ashburn, Charles came to his senses and immediately became silent.

“My dearest esteem sacred rank experts, Charles is still young and momentarily forgot his manners. Please do not take it to heart. We will listen to your advice.” Ashburn chided Charles before immediately apologizing to Blount and Dempus.

Even though Ashburn was the Grand Duke of the Lancelot Empire, he still needed to treat these sacred rank experts with great caution, especially now when they needed to rely on the two sacred rank experts. It would further worsen their plight if they were to offend these two experts. Therefore, Ashburn had no choice but to humbly apologize.

Sacred knight Blount gave a frosty snort and glanced at the now silent Charles, “Next time be more careful when you speak. I came here to help you guys because of my good friend Kosse. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care less about whether you are dead or alive.”

Charles secretly cursed him in his heart, thinking that after he took power, he will teach him a lesson. However, he dared not to reveal any dissatisfaction at this moment, and could only nod and smile.

“Lord Blount, for the sake of spreading the glory and radiance of Church of Light all over Lancelot Empire, please forgive them.” Red Archbishop Kosse said to Blount with a smile.

“Forget it, everything is for the glory of the Church of Light!” Blount exclaimed before saying to Dempus, “Escort them away from this area. I will lead that fellow away. I sense that his primary target is me. It seems like he hates me for injuring him previously.”

“Thank you Mister Blount, take care!” Dempus stared blankly for a moment before he replied respectfully.

Ashburn and Charles glanced at each other. Charles was cursing in his heart again, thinking, “Since you knew that his target was you, why did you still stay together with us? Doesn’t this show that you obviously want to harm us? You old fart is sure enough up to no good!”

“Old friend Kosse, I’d have to trouble you to stay by my side. This fellow is a grand magus necromancer. Only with your divine weapon ‘Revelation’ would be able to nullify his undead army.” Blount said to Kosse.

“Of course.” Kosse nodded in agreement.
