Chapter 802: Han Shuo V Aobashi (1/2)
GDK 802: Han Shuo V Aobashi
None of them were surprised that Han Shuo defeated Batúk. After all, Batúk’s strength wasn’t even on Ralph’s level. It was reasonable that Batúk would lose.
However, they could not believe Batúk when he said that he did not even saw Han Shuo attacking. It didn’t sound logical!
Under Laurel’s suspicious gaze, Batúk said annoyingly, “I’m reporting the fact as it is. I did not see how he attacked at all!”
“Then how exactly were you defeated?” asked Laurel.
“Right from the start of the battle, I feel as though I was trapped in a prison cell. A very corrosive energy and a frigid energy simultaneously attacked me. I had no choice but to deploy defensive barriers. When I have nearly exhausted my divine energy, I finally feel that I was no longer imprisoned. It was right then that Bryan appeared and restrained me!” explained Batúk in a depressed manner.
Laurel was astonished. He exchanged glances with the other two major patriarchs listening to their conversation and they turned silent.
While the few were discussing, Aobashi had arrived at the arena.
Han Shuo who was resting suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. “Hullo!” greeted Han Shuo smilingly. He seemed less at ease than usual.
Han Shuo had previously witnessed Aobashi’s strength just once. He also knew that in the City of Shadows, her strength was second only to Wallace. Although Han Shuo was confident in defeating Aobashi, he had a very good friendship with her. It was because of this that Han Shuo did not know if he should attack Aobashi with his full strength.
Unlike Han Shuo, Aobashi was untroubled. She walked towards Han Shuo with a big grin on her face. After giving Han Shuo a glance with her bright eyes, in her lovable voice, she said, “I have not made it out until this day. You have concealed your secret well. Turns out you are so powerful that you can defeat Ralph and Batúk without much effort. It appeared that I must go all-out in this duel!”
“Mercy, big sister Aobashi! Please don’t be too harsh to me!” replied Han Shuo modestly.
“Sorry, but I can’t afford to do so, or I might end up losing very horribly! Hehe, Bryan, just use your full strength and show me your true power! Don’t be a chicken like Erebus!” said Aobashi loudly. She suddenly started accelerating towards Han Shuo like a spirit.
A violent gust abruptly appeared in the arena, kicking up sand and stones. Multiple strong and rapidly revolving winds converged around Aobashi before wrapping her tightly in the center. The element of wind from far and near started wildly converging to the center of the superstorm and formed an impregnable barrier around her.
Once a cultivator of the energy of wind learned to form a domain of divinity, they could direct the element of wind to wrap around themselves to form a shield. They could also use it to increase their movement speed. Aobashi had just shown great mastery of her domain of divinity. While cramming the space around her with the element of wind, she formed a colossal tornado around herself.
The apocalyptic tornado uprooted every towering tree that she flew past. An entire forest of massive trees became a part of the tornado. Nothing remained on the ground, save for the earth, and several tottering trees that had energy towers concealed within.
The tornado whistled ever louder and grew ever more powerful. After sucking in countless trees, stones, sand, and anything on the ground, the tornado turned greyish and seemed to have strengthened by an order of magnitude. The gargantuan whirling wrecker laid waste to everything in its path as it moved towards Han Shuo.
With the presence of such a terrifying and devastating mega-tornado, Han Shuo did not need deploying the Banner of Hallucination in this battle. The massive tornado had kicked up more than enough sand and dust around the arena. Those gathered around the sand table could not see through the turbulent atmosphere filled with dust.
Han Shuo remained motionless and stood as still as a mountain. He was waiting for Aobashi to accumulate her wind energy to the peak before he would attack so that she will be more accepting of her defeat.
When the tornado had stored up energy to its peak and started engulfing him, Han Shuo finally made a move. Cauldron Spirit’s energy gushed into his body. In an instant, a tremendous amount of energy filled every one of his organs and bones. Han Shuo felt not just immense pain, but also immense power.
Instead of taking out the seventeen flying swords, Han Shuo used the Demonslayer Edge. It shot out from his body like a dark thunderbolt. The bright-dark Demonslayer Edge glowed with bewitching red radiance as demonic yuan poured into it. Shafts of red radiance started unfolding as though the blooming of a flower.
The blood-red radiance started spinning rapidly and turned into an enormous sphere of light. It shot towards the tornado-like a wrecking ball.
