GDK 839: I want you dead
And finally, Han Shuo, the prima donna, slowly arrived at the checkpoint for exiting the Omphalos. When he raised his head and looked around, he saw that a large crowd was hiding outside the gate, patiently waiting for his appearance.
“Friend, it seems very dangerous out there. Why don’t you stay another night in the Omphalos? It’s only eight hundred black crystal coins. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you will lose your life as soon as you step outside!” a guard manning the checkpoint kindly reminded Han Shuo who was walking at the front of his party with a sympathizing look.
The guard had been rather observant and could tell that massive forces were gathering outside the gate. He was very curious about who could have offended so many powerful forces at once and he managed to learn who was their target through his connections in the Omphalos.
Ever since those forces gathered outside the city gate, those who had previously planned on leaving through the gate would either turn around and leave through another gate or just stay in the Omphalos. Han Shuo and his party were the only people who proceeded with leaving through the gate. In addition, as soon as Han Shuo appeared at the checkpoint, he could hear a burst of excited breathing coming from outside.
It was clear to him that Han Shuo was the person that those savage gods were after!
“Thanks for the reminder, but we will leave the city,” replied Han Shuo smilingly. He did not take the guard’s warning to heart.
The guard nodded and said nothing more. He made a gesture and the gate opened wide, allowing Han Shuo and his party to leave.
“What a reckless fool!” remarked another guard and he looked disdainfully at Han Shuo and his party. He had been looking forward to seeing a formidable expert making an entrance but was greatly disappointed when in the end, it was just a puny gang.
“Let’s go, don’t let them wait for too long!” said Han Shuo and he took the lead on exiting the city. Han Hao, Rose, and the Five Elite Zombies followed behind him in order. Other than Rose, no one in the party was nervous. However, they weren’t as talkative and cheerful as usual.
The yellowish evening light was unusually stifling. When Han Shuo gazed around, he could see groups of gray air emanating from the dense forest and shrubs all around him. Under every ball of the gray air were a group of vicious criminals lying in ambush. It was clear from the faint killing intent exuding from them that they were up to no good.
After Han Shuo and his party officially stepped out from the Omphalos, the guard who had given Han Shuo a warning gave him another advice, “If you changed your mind, you may return into the Omphalos at any time. It is always safe inside. I must say that I greatly admire your courage to offend so many forces at once, regardless of your actual strength. I wish you good luck!”
Han Shuo startled for a moment. He couldn’t help but turned around to give the guard another look. He smilingly nodded at him and said, “Thanks!”
“Try not to get too far from the gate or else, you won’t be able to retreat,” the guard gave yet another advise smilingly.
Han Shuo did not even plan to turn around. He smiled and started confidently walking further and further from the gate with his party to show that he had no fear.
Haruli who had been watching Han Shuo from a concealed spot was astonished. He softly cried out in surprise, “What card does he have up his sleeves? It’s clear that he is aware of all these people wanting to take his life, and yet, he is stepping forward boldly. Is he really planning to throw away his life?”
“My Lord, they will be dead without a doubt. Of the eight of them, only two are highgods and they are not even in the late-stage realm. They can’t resist a single wave of attack from any of the forces. I’m sure that Buzz and his men will annihilate them in just moments,” one of Haruli’s henchmen calmly assessed the situation.
As Han Shuo stepped forward, he unfolded his consciousness to observe the forces hiding all around him. As they were just a short distance away, Han Shuo could detect the enemies’ auras and strengths without even using his demon generals. He could even sense the feelings of excitement and anxiety of certain people.
Twenty-six forces had assembled there. Nearly every one of the forces had at least one highgod. The stronger ones would have more than a few highgods. Each highgod would have a dozen or more midgod subordinates.
After Han Shuo and his party were a short distance away from the checkpoint, five or six forces hiding nearby the area immediately stepped outside to block Han Shuo’s road back, denying Han Shuo any chances of retreating to the Omphalos if things went south.
That guard manning the checkpoint had been gazing at Han Shuo with his brows bunched. He inwardly sighed when he saw that Han Shuo’s retreat path was blocked. He thought, Sigh, now there is no way out for them. Well, I have said all that there is to say. What a shame that they are just so rash.
Then, suddenly, all those who had been lying in wait for them came into appearance. A large crowd of ferocious gods surrounded Han Shuo and his party while gazing at them with covetous eyes.
At this point, it had become impossible for Han Shuo and his party to turn back. If Han Shuo did not possess formidable strength, there will only be one possible outcome for them - death!
