GDK 718: Touch him and I will kill you!
Han Shuo crouched and pressed his hand on the victim’s back to probe his body conditions. The news of Han Shuo saving Carmelita’s life two days earlier had spread throughout the entire City of Shadows. Had Rugersey not been aware of it, he likely wouldn’t have allowed Han Shuo anywhere near his nephew.
The victim was in between Han Shuo and Rugersey and therefore he couldn’t clearly observe what Han Shuo was doing.
Han Shuo’s demonic yuan moved into the person’s body like multiple formless little snakes, attempting to locate the root cause of the problem. Han Shuo was very clear about the composition and effects of his Pill of Tranquility. And with the help of his miraculous demonic yuan, he quickly figured out the situation.
“This is not right!” Han Shuo creased his brows and exclaimed in a deep voice, “There is a compound in his body which is causing his body to spasm. I’m sure that this compound will never appear in any Pill of Tranquility I refine. Did he take some other medicine with it?”
“I… I didn”t…” The boy on the floor spoke in a very weak voice and had difficulty speaking.
“You are trying to shift the blame, aren’t you?” Rugersey shouted as soon as his nephew denied taking another medicine. Obviously, he had no trust in Han Shuo.
“Impossible!” Han Shuo coldly shouted, “It is absolutely impossible that my medicine contained this compound. There must be something wrong elsewhere!”
“My, My Lord!” it was at this moment that a divine guard suddenly rushed into the building.
Rugersey was about to explode. He gave the flustered divine guard a slap across his face before asking, “What is it?!”
After stopping himself from stumbling with difficulty, ignoring the drop of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, the divine guard anxiously answered, “A divine guard suffered injuries at a gymnasium. After he consumed a Pill of Rejuvenation that belonged to Gilco, not only did he fail to stabilize his injuries, he died on the spot!”
Han Shuo’s face went cold as soon as he heard those words.
Rugersey became exceptionally enraged. He glared at Han Shuo and shouted, “Tell me again how this isn’t a problem with your medicine! This has happened not just once, but twice! There is no room for you to disavow your responsibility. Men, seize him!”
“Lord Rugersey!” Anito immediately cried out softly and intended to remind him that Han Shuo was under the protection of Erebus and Andre.
“No need to warn me! Even if Erebus and Andre are here, I will still proceed with capturing him and I will handle all the blame. Seize this youngster immediately and for a start, break his arms and legs. I will personally look for Erebus and Andre later. I want to see how they will defend this big conman!” Rugersey was so angry that he could no longer be reasoned with.
After hearing Rugersey’s instructions, those divine guards of the Sixth Corps no longer hesitated. Immediately, they surrounded Han Shuo and pointed their divine weapons at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was infuriated to hear Rugersey wanting to break his arms and legs. It was obvious to him that there was something fishy about the matter and yet, not only did Rugersey refuse to listen to all explanation, he jumped straight to condemning Han Shuo as a conman and wanted to punish him. His actions had violated certain regulations of the City of Shadows.
Han Shuo wasn’t afraid of Rugersey’s threats. Using the insane rejuvenation ability of his body, Han Shuo could even regrow his organs if they were completely obliterated. Clearly, reconnecting broken bones could not be more effortless for Han Shuo. Besides, Han Shuo was curious if the attacks of those midgod divine guards could make a ding to his Invincible Omen Body.
Even though breaking his arms and legs would do him nearly no harm, Han Shuo could not put up with being insulted like that. Immediately and secretly, he assembled the energy in his body in preparation to resist those divine guards. He inwardly thought that in the worst possible scenario - if the matter escalated to the point where even the House of Sainte could not shield him, he would just leave the City of Shadows. Han Shuo believed that he would still be able to prosper outside the City of Shadows, even though it may take some time to rebuild his reputation.
But before Han Shuo could do a thing, Andrina, who had been watching coldly all along, suddenly sprang into action. A splendid radiance circled around Han Shuo. All the divine weapons pointing at Han Shuo suddenly exploded, throwing those divine guards of the Sixth Corps holding the weapons flying into the distance.
The ice-cold Andrina stood proudly before Han Shuo. She kept silent as she stared fixedly at Rugersey with her pair of murderous eyes.
“Er…” Anito, who was about to persuade Rugersey not to use force, stared and gaped just as Han Shuo did. Neither of them knew how to react to the sudden and unforeseen turn of events.
“Who… who are you? How dare you hurt my Sixth Corps! Rebel, you are making enemies with the City of Shadows!” Rugersey, as the Chief the Sixth Corps, wasn’t one to admit defeat easily. Although he too was momentarily startled by the strength displayed by Andrina, he soon came to his senses and assigned guilt to Andrina in a practiced manner.
“If you touch him, I will kill you!” Andrina said with a bone-chilling voice as she stared coldly at Rugersey.
Rugersey, who was prepared to strike, felt as though he was affected by a bizarre energy field in an instant. The next moment, an immense sense of danger surged into his mind. It was so intense that he thought of taking a few steps backward. A shiver traveled through his heart.
After keeping silent for some time, Han Shuo finally said, “We will leave!” He glanced coldly at the indecisive Rugersey and said, “Give me some time, I will get to the bottom of this matter. I dare assure you that there is no issue with my medicine at all!”
“He has injured so many of our divine guards, don’t let him escape!” a member of the Kisa Family appeared out of nowhere and shouted from a distance.
No one answered the shout. All the divine guards of the Sixth Corps gazed at Rugersey, waiting for him to make a decision.
At this moment, Han Shuo had started walking towards the exit with Andrina. However, they were on high alert, ready to deal with any sudden attack from the House of Kisa.
Rugersey who had been staring at Andrina silently for a long time suddenly sprung into action. This early-stage highgod of death charged at her like a savage beast.
In midair, Rugersey’s face suddenly turned as pale as paper and his entire figure shrank and thinned. A piece of bone appeared in his hand with a flash. A domain of divinity of death enveloped the area and following that, the bone shot towards Andrina with a trail of ghostly light.
Chilling rays glistened from Andrina’s eyes as though she was scorning on Rugersey. Her body and even her little dress suddenly became as sparkling and translucent as gemstones. Before the crowd could see what was happening, an intense energy fluctuation erupted from her body. Something that seemed to be a vortex whirled out from her body and violently struck Rugersey’s body.
Rumbles… The sound of an explosion accompanied the burst of blinding light.
