Chapter 843: Demonic Blood (1/2)
GDK 843: Demonic Blood
Those survivors were heart-stricken after hearing Han Shuo’s response. They realized that they were in deep trouble.
At this moment, Han Hao and Rose stepped up beside Han Shuo. They gazed at those exhausted Fringedwellers with murderous eyes, ready to start slaughtering away.
The Five Elite Zombies had vanished out of sight. Other than Han Shuo whose mind was connected with theirs, no one would know where the five little fellas were hiding. A hidden danger was always much more terrifying than one that can be seen. Those frightened Fringedwellers thought to themselves, Damnit, how could I be so blind to offend such a deadly bunch!
Han Shuo then deliberately unleashed his aura, causing those survivors to stumble a step backward in fear. With a trembling heart, one of the Fringedwellers asked, “What do you want?”
“Submit to me, or be perished!” shouted Han Shuo using Demonic Siren boosted by Cauldron Spirit’s energy.
A bizarre energy hardly visible to the naked eye started undulating like water ripples. The terrifying energy undulation originating from Han Shuo seemed to be telling those standing before Han Shuo what will happen to them if they resist.
The small group of survivors was still afraid of entering the Penta-elemental Undead Formation again. It seemed that the Formation had made a lasting impression in their minds. However, they remained indecisive.
“Retreat!” The dozen or so remaining Fringe-dwelling forces started dispersing frantically after waking up from their daze.
The Penta-elemental Undead Formation had not just intimidated the thirty-something survivors, but also those Fringedwellers who were lucky enough not to experience the Formation first-hand. From the ravines torn on the ground and the horrifying states of the dead bodies everywhere, they knew just how brutally those not-so-lucky Fringedwellers had been massacred even without seeing it themselves.
At this moment, none of the Fringedwellers had any thought of fighting Han Shuo. After seeing the small number of injured and exhausted survivors, there was no longer one bit of hesitation in their minds. The dozen something groups of ferocious Fringedwellers scuttled and vanished in no time.
The only forces who did not leave were those who had resisted Bertha’s tempting offer of five million black crystal coins to participate in the attack. They were the true observers. Haruli and his gang were one of them.
Haruli’s mind at this moment was tumultuous as the sea. He could not believe his eyes when he saw the devastation Han Shuo made.
Haruli suddenly felt that he had been foolish and ridiculous to offer to protect Han Shuo and his party. There was no way that such a mighty bunch who could butcher five to six hundred Fringedwellers in minutes would need his protection.
“My Lord, should we also leave this place?” asked a follower of Haruli.
Haruli shook his head and replied, “We don’t. I don’t feel any hostility from them. We will stay and watch a little longer. This guy is so good at concealing his strength. He clearly possessed strength beyond that of highgod but he gave everyone the illusion that he was just a midgod. His arrival could possibly alter the status quo of the Fringe!”
Inside the Fringe, the Five Sovereigns were the most powerful of all beings. The five seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. They would fight each other while ignoring small forces like that of Haruli’s.
It was clear to them that Han Shuo possessed strength above that of a highgod. Even his followers were incredibly powerful. If such a powerhouse were to enter the Fringe, war and carnage were bound to happen.
With war comes opportunity. If Haruli could join the winning powerhouse before the war, he will gain the most rewards when it’s time to divide the loot and give medals. His power and influence in the Fringe will substantially rise and he will command a bigger force.
To Haruli, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Han Shuo coldly watched as the Fringedwellers fled in disarray. He did not go after them because he wasn’t done with the thirty people in front of him yet and he did not have the energy to do so. The Five Elite Zombies had spent a large amount of their Elemental Yuan energies to power the Penta-elemental Undead Formation. It was not possible for them to activate the Formation again before spending a long time recuperating their energy.
Han Hao and Rose were just two people. They could not stop the hundreds of Fringedwellers from leaving.
Han Shuo knew that he cannot take everyone down at once and that he needed to do it one step at a time. In the future, as his strength gradually builds, even if he doesn’t actively recruit, people will seek to serve him. Therefore, Han Shuo decided that right now, he needed to focus on getting those standing in front of him.
The thirty-something Fringedwellers had exhausted their energy inside the Penta-elemental Undead Formation. Facing the enormous pressure released by Han Shuo, they started seriously considering their options.
