GDK 895: Leaving the City of Wraiths

“Hahaha…. “ Portlem laughed out loud, obviously not taking Han Shuo’s threat seriously. “You seem to have forgotten that you are in the City of Wraiths, my territory. No one is going to step up for you!” said Portlem arrogantly.

The House of Batchelder was very influential in the City of Wraiths and Portlem was the favored young master in the House. Given that the House of Han had recently lost their footing in the City of Shadows, Portlem thought that he was invincible. He knew that no one would make a sound if he murdered Han Shuo right there.

“Young Master, let us handle this brassy guy!” said one of the highgods standing beside Portlem after he took a step forward. He cultivated the energy of earth and possessed early-stage highgod strength. He had a Herculean physique and appeared strong.

“Young Master, we can take care of him for you. He wouldn’t be able to escape!” said another highgod who cultivated the energy of wind. The two highgods stood readily on both sides of Portlem. They were ready to charge at Han Shuo at Portlem’s command.

As the most promising young blood of the House of Batchelder, Portlem had a bright future ahead of him. Some of those House of Batchelder highgods had long been treating Portlem as their future patriarch. They would seize every opportunity to win Portlem’s favor.

Han Shuo was between laughter and tears when he saw there were just two early-stage highgods approaching him.

At the time Han Shuo dealt a blow on Portlem, they indeed possessed similar strengths. But now, after so many years had passed, Han Shuo’s strength had soared to the point that he could defeat overgod existences without too much trouble. Two early-stage highgods were no threat at all.

“Portlem, O, Portlem… It seems that you have stayed inside the Death Dominion for too long… So much so that you have lost touch with reality… “ said Han Shuo with a ridiculing smile. Han Shuo had fought Ralph and Aobashi in the City of Shadows and defeated them. Han Shuo thought that Portlem probably had not been paying too much attention to news about him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought just two highgods.

But Han Shuo was wrong. Portlem had heard of that news from the City of Shadows, he just didn’t believe them.

“Hehe, you are talking about defeating Aobashi, right? Bryan, only those who have never fought you would believe that you could defeat Aobashi! I have left the City of Shadows for just a few decades. Your strength couldn’t have improved so rapidly. Haha, I know that you and Wallace had been playing an act so that you can take the position as the Chief of Fifth Corps. You think I couldn’t figure out something as plain as that?” Obviously, Portlem did not believe these so-called ‘news’ originating in the City of Shadows.

It wasn’t completely unreasonable for Portlem to think so. On Elysium, even the most talented expert would need a few hundred years to reach mid-stage highgodhood from early-stage highgodhood. He thought that Wallace and Han Shuo had conspired and faked that news.

Han Shuo couldn’t help himself but laughed while shaking his head. Then, without saying another word, he started walking towards the city gate calmly. Han Shuo had not batted the two threatening highgods an eye. He acted as though they weren’t even there.

The arrogant and cocky attitude of Han Shuo had infuriated the two early-stage highgods. They did not wait for Portlem to give the command but simultaneously charged at Han Shuo with great rapport. It took them just an instant to deploy their domains of divinity, gather the elements of earth and wind, and launch their attacks.

They thrust an earth spear and a wind scimitar filled with the divine energies of earth and wind towards Han Shuo’s chest.

Clang!

When the earth spear and wind scimitar made contact with Han Shuo’s chest, they did not melt through his flesh and bones like the two expected. Instead, it seemed as though their divine weapons had struck on extremely hard rock. Loud metallic clangs were heard and they were stopped.

In the next instance, two bursts of violent power flowed through the divine weapons, shattering it before entering the two highgods. The violent counter-attacking power had caught them off guard. They had been stunned and were sent flying backward.

Then, with a quick gesture, an invisible energy was injected into the shattered pieces of earth spear and wind scimitar. The broken pieces of weapons seemed as though they had become alive. They shot towards the two highgods at an even greater speed.

Shhh-uckkk!
