Chapter 771: Illusions (2/2)
A few moments later, Hofs turned rather puzzled. The darkness divine energy that he sent out to probe his surroundings had detected no signs of any living being. However, that uncomfortable feeling had never left him. This made Hofs more and more restless and uneasy.
Hofs yet again release his darkness divine energy. He leaped high into the air and started surveying the land from above. Although he had tried as hard as he could, he still could not locate the stalker!
“Stop being such a weenie, show yourself!” shouted Hofs. He seemed rather impatient.
A figure suddenly appeared beside an ancient tree. He raised his head to look at Hofs smilingly and said, “You injured me. Hehe, I have come to return the favor!”
“It sure enough is you!” Hofs laughed maniacally before he suddenly plunged from the air. Darkness domain of divinity instantly formed around him. The element of darkness and darkness divine energy filled his dark spear in an instant as he shot at Han Shuo from above Han Shuo’s head. Strange buzzing noises sounded from the spear that appeared as though a dark lightning bolt. The spear was accelerated to such an extreme speed that its shape could not be clearly seen.
Boundless darkness came covering down at Han Shuo from the sky. The region abruptly sank into absolute darkness as though everything was consumed by the Void. Immense darkness divine energy wrapped on the spear and caused it to melt into the absolute darkness.
Rumbles…
A world-shaking explosion sounded. Following that, an enormous and deep crater was revealed. All the trees, vegetations, and rocks were swept away.
Han Shuo’s figure, however, was nowhere to be seen!
Inside the absolute darkness, Hofs descended. He landed in the enormous crater and stood proudly in a ferocious face. The dark spear returned to his hand. His eyes glistened brightly as he looked all around for the figure that had vanished into thin air.
Needless to say, Hofs’ vision wasn’t affected by this absolute darkness he created. He realized that his last strike was ineffective. He grew even more cautious and truly took Han Shuo as an evenly matched opponent.
“My turn!” a sneer suddenly reverberated throughout the absolute darkness. Seven fuzzy figures appeared out of nowhere and shot towards Hofs from every direction. The figures all took Han Shuo’s appearance and they all gave off extraordinary auras.
Hofs suspected that they were merely illusions and so he used his divine soul to carefully probe the figures. However, to his surprise, each and every figure seemed real and alive, with everyone of them possessing highgod aura. This immediately threw Hofs into confusion.
Hofs, not understanding the situation, did not gamble in attacking any of the figures. Instead, he took defensive measures. With one wave of the spear in his hand, layers upon layers of defensive barriers rapidly formed. Intense aura of darkness gushed towards Hofs and shrouded him.
Every figure Hofs saw was made using the highest grade demon generals. These demon generals refined from highgod souls were extraordinary in strength. His senses were correct - the figures were alive and could pose him threat. Hofs’ decision of taking defensive measures was also correct.
However, Hofs’ taking defensive measures played right into Han Shuo’s hand!
Only when Hofs was in defensive position that Han Shuo could fully focus on maneuvering the seventeen flying swords and envelop Hofs in Avici Godslaying Sword Formation. Once that happens, Han Shuo could fully focus on boldly attacking. He need not to worry about anything else.
The seventeen flying swords whooshed out but Han Shuo’s figures transformed from demon generals vanished. Only the real Han Shuo remained, standing proudly before Hofs.
They are illusions! Hofs was stunned. After seeing the Han Shuos transformed from demon generals disappear, Hofs started doubting his senses as he was misled into thinking that the demon generals were nothing but illusions.
The seventeen flying swords maneuvered by Han Shuo went whooshing at Hofs shrouded by intense aura of darkness. The flying swords seemed to had struck on the toughest cotton ball. The seventeen flying swords failed to pierce through Hofs’ defenses made using darkness divine energy.
A late-stage highgod is indeed formidable! exclaimed Han Shuo in his mind. Then, in his consciousness, Han Shuo said to Cauldron Spirit, “Assemble your energy. It seems that I must borrow your energy in order to defeat him!”
Cauldron Spirit wasted no words and immediately injected demon general energies into Han Shuo’s body.
