GDK 768: The stage is now ours

The intense explosion at the city gate instantly killed several dozen divine guards and sent pieces of their bodies flying all around. The rumbling noise as though a mountain was collapsing had alerted everyone in the city. The city gate of Hushveil City failed to withstand the fierce blast and was shattered.

“Hurry!” cried Han Shuo softly. He raised the power of his demonic weapons to their maximum, attacking all the House of Simon divine guards swarming at them.

At this moment, Westin and Chandler who had been hiding in energy towers all along, simultaneously descended. They jointly attacked Han Shuo and Rose.

The seventeen flying swords suddenly appeared before Han Shuo and weaved a screen made of light, completely shielding Han Shuo from the space in front of him. They also blocked Westin and Chandler’s attacks.

Rose knew that this move of Han Shuo’s was mainly to buy her time. As long as Westin and Chandler were both blocked, the average divine guards who were being held up by the numerous demonic weapons cannot obstruct her from leaving.

Seeing Han Shuo risking his life at such a perilous moment to buy time for her to escape, a most bizarre feeling arose in her heart. She turned to take a quick, grateful look at Han Shuo who was obstructing Westin and Chandler in a callous and handsome face before leaving.

With the two powerful highgods held up by Han Shuo and most of the divine guards being violently attacked by demon generals and demon weapons, Rose did not face much pressure when leaving. She defended herself from the attacks of normal highgod and successfully crossed the hole in the city gate. She had finally escaped from Hushveil City.

Suddenly, Han Shuo’s face jolted. He immediately flew towards the opening to leave Hushveil City.

“DIE!!!” a violent roar filled with rage came from the distance. A dark spear streaked across the sky like a dark bolt of thunder rapidly moving towards Han Shuo. It carried an astonishing amount of darkness divine energy.

Westin and Chandler, hearing the roar, exerted even more pressure at Han Shuo. They were determined to capture Han Shuo.

Westin was a mid-stage highgod while Chandler was an early-stage highgod. Although defending against their attacks was not easy, it wasn’t too difficult. The seventeen flying swords could disintegrate their attacks just by weaving streaks of light.

The dark spear that came like lightning, however, was far more powerful. In addition, as many divine guards were moving to the city gate to seal the hole, if Han Shuo was to focus all his strength on defending against the spear, he might lose the chance of leaving the city.

The dark spear arrived like a shadow before the seventeen flying swords fighting Westin and Chandler could move to Han Shuo’s back. Han Shuo promptly came to a difficult decision. With all his strength, he charged at the city gate that will soon be fully blocked by divine guards.

His two hands constantly moved about, blocking off the constant streams of ranged attacks. The Invincible Omen Body would also automatically deploy. The attacks of midgods could not inflict any damage even when they scored a direct hit on Han Shuo.

Pow! When the spear was instants from making contact, the Demonslayer Edge pierced through the cloth on Han Shuo’s back and appeared to catch the attack.

A burst of ferocious and wild darkness divine energy surged into Han Shuo through the Demonslayer Edge. The Invincible Omen Body instantly deployed to resist the onslaught of the darkness divine energy. This all-out attack from Hushveil City’s City Lord Hofs was overwhelming. Even the Invincible Omen Body could not neutralize all of its destructive power.

An area on Han Shuo’s back suddenly caved in as though a flat piece of metal deformed after being struck by a bullet. Han Shuo felt pain rising from his chest and a metallic taste in his mouth. Blood flowed out from his mouth, forming two trails of blood from the tips of his lips.

Immediately, Han Shuo realized that he had suffered injuries after taking the all-out attack of this late-stage highgod.

Han Shuo was fortunate that the Invincible Omen Body had dissolved most of the power in the attack. Otherwise, the powerful strike would surely pierce a hole through Han Shuo’s chest and severely reduce his fighting power.

Han Shuo did a quick inspection of his body’s condition and immediately understood that the injuries sustained were not critical. Using the momentum of Hofs’ dark spear, Han Shuo boosted his speed and traveled towards the city gate at an even faster rate. Simultaneously, the seventeen flying swords flew away from Westin and Chandler to help Han Shuo defend against the attacks of the divine guards all around him.

Han Shuo’s figure streaked through the hole in the city gate as though a lightning bolt. He went through in a flash. Outside the gate was Rose, waiting for him anxiously.

“Hushveil City Lord is here. Fly!” shouted Han Shuo as he grabbed Rose’s hand. He then activated the Art of Demonic Ninth Heaven, boosted his airspeed using Cauldron Spirit’s energy, and turned into a trail of hardly visible shadow that rapidly vanished into the distance.
