Chapter 752: Sorry, you shouted late (1/2)
GDK 752: Sorry, you shouted late
The entire party from Hushveil City led by Eugene was butchered by Han Shuo. Not one survived.
The air at the cave entrance was filled with the reeking scent of blood. Cauldron Spirit circled in the air, collected Eugene’s mid-stage highgod soul. Not just Eugene’s, even the divine souls of those perished divine guards were drawn by Cauldron Spirit and sucked into the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.
According to Cauldron Spirit, the highest-grade spirit demon must be made using a highgod soul. Spirit demon of that grade was more powerful than any demon generals and could provide Cauldron Spirit with more power. Ever since the Exalted Demonlord’s annihilation, the Cauldron of Myriad Demon had produced not a single of this demon general of the highest class. Now that Eugene’s divine soul was captured, there will finally be a spirit demon in the Caudron again.
Eugene and his army were reduced into puddles of blood in just a few moments. Other than watery blood, the ground was also stained with severed bodies that Bollands made. It was a horrendous scene.
Anito, Deco, and two other divine guards from the Third Corps were overwhelmed with shock. Their brains had short-circuited.
“Anito, other than Eugene, didn’t you say you ran into hostile forces from Darksoul City? What are you waiting for? Show us the way!” instructed Bollands.
It was only at this moment that Anito seemed to come to his senses. He seemed frightened and alarmed as he asked Han Shuo, “Lord Bryan, did, did you just killed Eugene?”
“Is there any problem?” replied Han Shuo calmly after putting on a bright smile.
“Lord Bryan, although there is a constant battle between the seven cities of the Darkness Dominion, the Chiefs of Divine Guards would almost always be spared. If a Chief of Divine Guards dies, the matter will escalate to a big issue. Eugene was one of the Chiefs of Divine Guards from Hushveil City. Now that he had perished here, the City Lord of Hushveil City will surely get involved!” replied Anito anxiously. Although the cities had never ceased their hidden battles with each other, their Chiefs of Divine Guards were highly regarded and were given immunity. It was extremely rare that a Chief of Divine Guards is killed.
Chiefs of Divine Guards were the pillars of strength of a city and highly regarded by their City Lords. The death of a Divine Guard Chief would anger them and perhaps even escalate to an all-out war between two cities. Anito was frightened because he thought of the grave consequences of Eugene’s death.
“Ah, it’s no bother. I will justify myself to the City Lord personally!” Han Shuo, however, did not view it as a big issue. He smilingly said, “Let’s go Anito, time to kick the asses of those from Darkspirit City!”
Anito’s heart trembled in fear at Han Shuo’s reply. He had a flashback of the time he first met Han Shuo in the City of Shadows, of the horrible attitude he shown towards Han Shuo. A shiver traveled up his spine when he thought of it. He thought, Luckily I ended up becoming friends with him. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t even know how I’d die. He concealed his strength so well and appeared benign. But when he erupts, it would be a massacre! This guy is truly a ruthless, vicious person!
“Come with me, my Lord. Those from Darksoul City also has a Chief of Divine Guards. He killed two of our comrades!” Deco was much bolder than Anito and showed the way for Han Shuo.
As the traveled, Deco explained to Han Shuo that those from Darksoul City was actually the first to arrive at the mountain. There did not want anyone else to get close to the mountain. Those from Darksoul City discovered Anito’s men probing around in the mountain and were killed.
It was after that that Eugene with his men from Hushveil City arrived at the mountain. However, this time, the two forces did not clash with each other as they saw that their strengths were around the same. The forces of Darksoul City decided to compromise. They occupied some of the largest deposits and left the remaining deposits unguarded, allowing Eugene and his men to take those deposits.
This force from Darksoul City was led by a Divine Guard Chief named Jirofi. He had the same strength as Eugene - a mid-stage highgod. He cultivated in the energy of destruction.
With Deco leading the way, the party soon arrived near the center of the mountain. There were caves entrances all around them. Every entrance was guarded by a few divine guards from Darksoul City.
“Lord Bryan, Jirofi of Darksoul City should be there at the largest cave!” upon arrival, Deco said to Han Shuo as he pointed at a cave.
“Our Darksoul City have claimed these deposits for ourselves. Go to other deposits - do not make us attack!” warned a divine guard from Darksoul City as he looked on coldly at Han Shuo and his party. He was very arrogant in attitude.
“Bollands, Sanguis, kill a few of them, show them who’s boss!” instead of wasting words, Han Shuo instructed Bollands and Sanguis to begin killing.
By murdering, Bollands could increase his killing intent, Sanguis could gain energy from the blood of their enemies, while Han Shuo could reap more divine souls. Killing others would only benefit the three demonic arts cultivators. After all, it was those from Darksoul City who made the first strike against those men from the Third Corps. Han Shuo saw no reason to avoid violence.
As soon as Han Shuo finished his words, Bollands and Sanguis pounced on the two divine guards of Darksoul City at a cave entrance. Sanguis drew out a string of blood from his palm as he stared at the divine guards with his blood-red eyes. Immediately when their gazes met, the two divine guards felt that blood in their body was boiling.
Bollands arrived beside them at this moment. The slender longsword in his hand gave off a bright flash before going criss-cross on the divine guards. Chak Chak! They were dismembered. Their bodies now cut into chunks fell on the ground and spurted blood in every direction.
Before those divine guards at other cave entrances could provide aid, the tragedy had happened.
They immediately shrieking in loud and high-pitched voices, signaling distress signals to Jirofi. They had witnessed just how terrifying Bollands and Sanguis were and noticed that Han Shuo, the duo’s leader, had not made a move. They dared not to be reckless and were on high alert, cautiously watching Sanguis and Bollands as they called for their boss.
A moment later, thirty-seven divine guards including their Chief Jirofi hastily flew out from the caves. Their clothes and armor were smeared dark. It appeared that they had been busy excavating energy crystals.
As soon as he rushed to the scene, Jirofi yelled, “What’s the matter?” When he saw the warm fresh blood under his feet, his face turned dark and seemed enraged. Jirofi had a plump figure. His pair of eyes glistened with sinister and scheming light. At this moment, his fierce gazes had turned to stare fixedly at the calm and unruffled Han Shuo standing at the center.
“From today onwards, this mountain and its deposits belongs to the City of Shadows’ House of Han!” Gilbert announced after bravely stepped forward. He cast Jirofi an arrogant glance and continued, “Eugene had been killed by my master as he was not tactful. If you do not want to follow his path, drop everything and leave now!”
