Chapter 763: She didn’t kill your children, I did! (1/2)
GDK 763: She didn’t kill your children, I did!
The two charge forwards Avery’s location as though an unstoppable force. All those divine guards of Avery’s they met along the way were butchered by the two.
Miserable shrieks filled the spacious underground chamber. All those divine guards died to Han Shuo’s flying swords melted into nothing but watery blood. The bodies of those divine guards killed by Rose would also rapidly melt away when they made contact with the bloody liquid.
They were in Godswamp Pharmacy of Hushveil City. Han Shuo knew that they must complete the objective and escape from this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they take too long, the divine guards of Hushveil City would be at the scene and surround them in large numbers. Even with his and Rose’s extraordinary strengths, they might not be able to escape from being encircled.
Therefore, Han Shuo did not show the slightest mercy. The streams of gods were transformed into streams of blood. Han Shuo and Rose forced their way into the deepest part of the underground chamber.
While Han Shuo was conducting his killing spree, his demon generals had gone to probe ahead. He had already figured out exactly where Avery was. Therefore, Han Shuo didn't have to waste any more time to search for him. He arrived at the tightly sealed chamber where Avery was hiding.
The Godswamp pharmacist called Kraft suddenly came running out from the room screaming. Two flying swords streaked through his neck like a beam of light. His head was severed from his body and sent spinning away, all before his voice fell. The severed end on his neck was still squirting blood when his body collapsed with a thud.
Divine energy of darkness suddenly gushed from the space behind Kraft and a darkness domain of divinity took shape in an instant. The already dim underground chamber abruptly turned into complete darkness. A shadowy figure started moving rapidly in the darkness. Its divine energy blew the bloody liquid on the ground and sprayed it towards Han Shuo and Rose.
As Rose cultivated in the energy of darkness and Han Shuo doesn't get affected by changes in the environment in any way, nothing had escaped from their visions, including the corrosive liquids splashing towards them. Han Shuo had a calm face and uttered not a word. The seventeen flying swords shot precisely at the moving shadowy figure at lightning speed with ferocious power.
The flying swords made loud whistles that could pierce ears and souls, disrupting the mind of all those in the room. All flying swords arrived beside the shadowy figure in an instant and surrounded it, not giving it an opportunity in escaping.
While the seventeen flying swords were doing their jobs, Han Shuo moved like a shadow, evading the bloody liquid raining down at him. He shouted, ”Today will be the last day of your life, Avery!”
Upon finishing those words, Cauldron Spirit's energy flooded into his body. A most terrifying energy emanated from Han Shuo in an instant. The whistling noises grew even louder and piercing as the seventeen flying swords that trapped Avery formed Ceaseless Pain around him. A most ruthless, brutal and sinister aura was emanated.
Rose originally intended to assist Han Shuo in killing Avery but the instant that Han Shuo utilized Cauldron Spirit’s energy, she was dumbfounded. The ferocious and fear-inducing aura given off by the seventeen flying swords caused her to be overwhelmed with shock.
So it turns out that he had not even used his full strength against me. I thought I could get my revenge after he nullifies the master-slave contract. Ha, laughable, how laughable of me, thought Rose.
Even though Rose was outside the Ceaseless Pain, she was nonetheless intimidated by the terrifying energy field produced by the sword formation. She stood foolishly behind Han Shuo, not having the courage to get close to the sword formation to help attack Avery. It was also at this moment that Rose completely gave up on making retribution against Han Shuo. She even felt a mixed feeling of dread and reverence towards him.
Rose actually knew Han Shuo better than most gods on Elysium. Back then on the Profound Continent, through her believer Adele, Rose had sensed Han Shuo and knew his strength. She never expected that Han Shuo would come to possess such terrifying strength in such a short amount of time. The rate at which his strength soars was unimaginable to Rose.
Given that Avery’s strength was below that of Rose’s and Han Shuo had boosted his strength by borrowing Cauldron Spirit’s energy, Avery was on the back foot and couldn’t even make a counterattack. The darkness divine energy in his body was assailed by the chilling aura and corrosive power of the seventeen flying swords that were trapping it in Hell. Just a short few seconds after Ceaseless Pain was formed, his heart was swarmed with the feeling of despair.
Han Shuo suddenly flew to Avery. In a callous face, he said, “By the way, Carmelita did not kill your children. I did.”
The radiance of extreme hatred and rage burst from his eyes. He seemed to be unwilling to die this way. He clenched his teeth and tried to injure Han Shuo with his death.
For unfortunately for Avery, Han Shuo would not give him the chance to do so. The seventeen flying swords flew around his chest and took away every last bit of vitality left in him. Before the poison completely liquefied Avery, the seventeen flying swords abruptly flew aside.
Han Shuo quickly moved towards his body. He opened his left hand, deployed the Demonic Blades, and cut across Avery’s neck. As Han Shuo had deployed frigid aura, not a drop of blood left Avery’s neck.
Han Shuo then quickly took out the glass container he had long prepared, placed Avery’s head in it, and left a bit of frigid aura in the container before sealing it. Meanwhile, Cauldron Spirit flew out from Han Shuo’s body to collect Avery’s divine soul at the fastest speed possible.
Han Shuo looked all around the bloody scene. Seeing that not a soul was left alive, he promptly instructed, “TIme to leave.”
Rose was staring at Han Shuo foolishly. After hearing those whose, she softly answered an “O” and followed behind Han Shuo in silence. Amazement and fear could be seen in her bright eyes looking at Han Shuo’s back.
The whole duration of breaking into the secret chamber and murdering everyone inside did not exceed two minutes. Those who had detected abnormality under the ground of Godswamp Pharmacy had yet to make it to the tunnel entrance.
Han Shuo and Rose streaked across the tunnel and traveled on the path the came from. Soon enough, they were back at the surface. It was then that they saw the Godswamp Pharmacy divine guards who were rushing over.
Han Shuo had probed all around Godswamp Pharmacy with his demon generals before the matter and he had discovered no sign of Hassling. Currently, there wasn’t a single person in the entire Godswamp Pharmacy that could actually cause them harm.
All those divine guards who charged at the duo were simply giving away their lives. Han Shuo and Rose did not show the slightest mercy. Multiple divine guards would die horribly in an instant. After killing a few more divine guards foolish enough to block their paths, Han Shuo and Rose immediately flew away from Godswamp Pharmacy before the divine guards of Hushveil City could arrive and surround them.
The assassination was completed cleanly and smoothly. Han Shuo and Rose escaped into the darkness of the night effortlessly.
Two bloody murders happened in Hushveil City in less than 24 hours and the crimes were committed by the same gang. This alarmed the experts of all major family clans in Hushveil City, especially the Chief of Sixth Corps who were wildly hunting for his son’s murderers. He put about threats that once he found the murderers, he would skin them alive.
***In the Hofley Residence.
The House of Hofley was the most powerful family clan in Hushveil City. Hofs, the patriarch of the family clan, was wearing a gloomy face and in a fit of rage. The Divine Guard Chiefs of Hushveil City were all standing before him quiet still and in fear.
“Get me the murderers in three days, dead or alive!” Although the thin and tall Hofs may appear cultured and refined, all those who were acquainted with him knew that he was extremely irascible in temper. This time around, Hofs had reached the point of criticality. It had not been long since the death of one of his Divine Guard Chiefs, Eugene, before such outrageous murders occurred in his city. His anger was fanned before it could subside. He was clearly at the limits of his tolerance.
The Chiefs dared not utter a word but the Chief of Sixth Corps, Salouhucci, loudly answered, “Rest assured, my Lord. All divine guards of my Sixth Corps have been activated and all city gates have been notified not to allow any white-haired woman to leave the City. The Godswamp Pharmacy murder took place after the City lockdown and therefore, we can be certain that the murderers are still in Hushveil City. As long as we keep on searching, we will eventually find the two murderers.”
