Chapter 934: Han Hao vs Sanguis (1/2)

Sanguis possessed tremendous strength and needless to say, it was a terrifying sight when he unleashed his full power.

Han Hao remained cool as a cucumber, not showing the slightest trace of fear against the blood-red radiances that shrouded the sky. He watched as the crimson-eyed young man descended from above, the murderous aura girding him ever so menacingly - yet he didn’t fret. He whirled the bone spear in his hand. A sinister and wicked energy suddenly shot out from the bone spear and instantly disintegrated the red radiances.

An evil gleam flashed through his purple demonic eyes before a large bone cage abruptly materialized. The hideous bone cage bore sharp spikes. It was positioned in Sanguis’ path with the open side facing Sanguis, as a shark waiting for its prey to swim right into its sawtoothed mouth.

Sanguis was astounded as a shiver traveled down his spine. He finally realized just how terrifyingly powerful the callous teenager was. Not only was he able to neutralize the blood-radiance attack that Sanguis congealed using blood essence with just a quick gesture, he even had spare energy to form a white bone cage using the energy of death.

Sanguis had already exerted his full strength against Han Hao. For some reason, it seemed as though Sanguis gained access to his fullest potential when pitted against the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered. The blood-red flames in his eyes burned even more vigorously with red trails overflowing from the corners of his eyes. His cheeks seemed to be overfilling with blood as his veins popped up under his skin. He looked like an angered, diabolical monster that thirsted for blood.

Those were signs that he was pushing the Bloodgod Mantra to the very limit!

Han Shuo, who had been standing aside and observing, took notice of the changes happening to Sanguis’ face. He gravely bunched his brows as he raised his guard, ready to intervene at any moment should things go South.

Sanguis did not try to avoid the bone cage. When he accessed his full potential, the terrifying blood aura around him instantly congealed into matter. The mist of blood all around the gymnasium condensed into a red palm before it shot into Han Hao’s bone cage.

Crack… Boom!

The bone cage shattered into smithereens and bone debris dispersed like snowflakes in all directions.

“Oh?” Han Hao appeared a little surprised. A strange light flashed in his purple eyes as he stared intently at Sanguis whose power seemed to have surged several folds. He even seemed somewhat excited.

Han Hao waved the bone spear in his hand and a deafening cacophony of ghastly cries and howls echoed from within as if thousands of tormented souls were struggling to break free. In an instant, the white bone spear turned murky grey while thousands of hideous, malevolent faces appeared on its surface. They were writhing violently as though trying to escape from their eternal prison but they remained securely bound to the bone spear.

“Charge!” With a sudden swing of his arm, Han Hao threw the bone spear into the sky, making harrowing shrieks as it soared. Sinister dark radiances glowed from its tip as those souls trapped in the bone spear gathered into an enormous and hideous mouth lined with fangs. It charged at Sanguis ferociously.

“Gilbert, take a careful look - Observe the energy that Han Hao has applied to the bone spear!” said Han Shuo, reminding the thrilled Gilbert to tear his eyes away from Sanguis.

Gilbert woke up from his daze and quickly realized that it was Han Hao’s cultivation that he ought to emulate. He promptly gathered his concentration on Little Skeleton’s bone spear and carefully sensed it with his soul.

After making the observation, Gilbert became overwhelmed with shock. He detected the presence of thousands of ferocious souls on the bone spear. They were filled with immeasurable rage, hatred, despair, and bloodlust. Those negative energies fused with the energy of death and formed a newfound, one-of-a-kind energy of sheer terror.

Gilbert had only been sensing the bone spear with his soul for a moment but already, he could sense a vague power drawing him into the bone spear to make him part of the collection.

Damn, even his weapon has become so terrifying! Sanguis is out of luck! exclaimed Gilbert internally.

Just as the thought appeared in Gilbert’s mind, the gruesome bone-spear-turned-mouth swallowed Sanguis who was caught off guard.

In an instant, Sanguis had completely disappeared. There was nothing but an enlarged bone spear hovering over the battlefield. The bone spear seemed to have transformed into an enormous earthworm. It squirmed tirelessly, the fierce souls emerged and disappeared on the surface of the bone spear, rolling around rapidly in the chilling, misty air.

Gilbert, Bollands, and others knew that Sanguis was now inside the bone spear as bursts of blood-red flashes could frequently be seen reaching the surface of the bone spear from within.

Evidently, although trapped, Sanguis was not immobilized. The flashes of red radiances indicated that he was still struggling vigorously, trying to escape from Han Hao’s bone spear.

By now, it was obvious that Han Hao’s power far surpassed Sanguis’. Despite his violent thrashing, his toil was to no avail. Those souls trapped in the bone spear had neither physical body nor blood and were completely unaffected by Sanguis’ blood aura. They weaved tighter and tighter around Sanguis, wearing down his power with every passing moment.
