Chapter 895: Leaving the City of Wraiths (2/2)

All of the shards entered the bodies of the two highgods. However, they did not immediately die and not a drop of blood had left their body.

Those shards, maneuvered by an incorporeal energy, were as though hundreds of small scissors, making crunching noises from within their bodies. It was as though the two highgods were being blended from the inside. They shrieked and cried with absolute horror and misery.

Splat!

Finally, they exploded. Their minced internal organs splattered all around and loud, wild shrieks suddenly turned into silence.

Then, Han Shuo exhaled a puff of grey air. The greyish ball of air hovered to their skulls and gently brought their divine souls to Han Shuo.

After advancing to the Skybreak Realm, Han Shuo had become profoundly masterful in the manipulation of energy, so much so that he could even perform surgical operations to the cellular level using demonic yuan. Manipulating soul energy could not be easier for Han Shuo.

In just moments, two highgods filled with energy were transformed into puddles of blood in the most horrifying and agonizing way possible. Their shrieks of helplessness and misery continued to echo in the ears of the remaining House of Batchelder divine guards.

Suddenly, a divine guard on the city gate took a step backward and announced, “This is a quarrel between the two of you. We have nothing to do with it!” Then, he immediately turned to his subordinates and instructed, “Open the gates!”

The divine guard worked for Talbot the City Lord. As he was not aware of Han Shuo’s strength, he accepted Portlem’s request to seal the city gate to prevent Han Shuo from escaping. But after seeing just how easily Han Shuo slaughtered two highgods, he immediately realized just how foolish he had been. He immediately switched sides to avoid conflict with Han Shuo.

But Han Shuo did not even pay any attention to the divine guard. He was just too insignificant to him.

Han Shuo put on a faintly mocking smile as he looked at the flabbergasted Portlem. He shook his head and sighed, “Huhu, how pitiful of you, Portlem. You’d rather believe in a conspiracy and make such a feeble attempt to kill me. Pathetic.”

Portlem had been totally stupefied. He saw two mighty highgod experts slaughtered by Han Shuo just like that. There wasn’t even an actual fight. From start to finish, Han Shuo seemed as though he had barely exerted any strength, as though killing two highgods was as easy as killing two ants. It was evident to Portlem that Han Shuo’s strength was more than a level greater than those highgods. Perhaps only a late-stage highgod expert like his father could do so without breaking a sweat.

“So.. it wasn’t a hoax… “ muttered the ashen Portlem. This so-called ‘prodigy’ of the House of Batchelder suddenly realized just how insignificant he was compared to Han Shuo.

“You know, sometimes in life, you just gotta accept your fate!” The smiling Han Shuo walked to Portlem relaxedly and whacked him with his bare palm.

A tremendous force as though a mountain with the density of a neutron star crushed on Portlem. His neck, spine, and legs went bent to unnatural forms before his body exploded with a bang.

Han Shuo had never been merciful to his enemies. Portlem had sealed his destiny ever since he tried to lay his finger on Phoebe, Emily, and the others. Even if Portlem had not shown up on that day, Han Shuo would have sent someone to get rid of him when Portlem came back to his mind.

Han Shuo understood that if a character like Portlem was to be spared his life, it will only be a matter of time before they harm the House of Han. Although Han Shuo was not afraid of being attacked himself, he did not want any possibility of his family clan members coming under threat.

After collecting Portlem’s divine soul, Han Shuo scanned those House of Batchelder divine guards with his eyes and calmly said, “You should all know who I am. Hehe, tell your patriarch that I’m going to Witherbone City. He can find me there if he wants revenge!”

Those House of Batchelder divine guards immediately pulled a distance from Han Shuo, as though afraid that Han Shuo might kill them.

The city gate ahead of Han Shuo was being hastily opened by the divine guards in charge. They tactfully cleared the path and watched as Han Shuo walked out of the city swaggeringly.
