CHAPTER 411: Chopping Off Their Hands

Smoke rose everywhere from the Boozt Merchant's Guild. The soldiers under Ashburn's command charged in, killing everyone they saw. The guild guards simply didn't have a chance to retaliate, most of them being killed or injured in an instant.

Phoebe, who was distraught by Han Shuo's words, held the divine weapon Starry Sky and led the guild's guards to do their utmost to resist. However, the situation was clearly far from good.

Among the soldiers attacking the Boozt Merchant Guild were some experts who supported Charles. There was also a temple knight from the Church of Light, who held a silver spear in his hand and was not afraid of anyone. Each strike of his spear would inevitably result in the death of a guard.

There were also a few mages who cast spells all the time. The buildings of the Boozt Merchant Guild caught fire one after the other. The stored grain and goods burned in the great fire. Some servants were burned all over as they came out of their rooms, only to be shot down by a hail of arrows. These innocent servants were all shot dead.

In no time at all, the Boozt Merchant's Guild fell to the enemy under relentless attack. Only Phoebe and a group of loyal guards hurriedly retreated to the back gate. As they did so, the guards at Phoebe's side were killed one by one.

"Miss Phoebe, you won't be able to escape today!" Space Archmage Aubrey smiled mischievously as he looked at Phoebe and said calmly.

Earlier, it was Space Archmage Aubrey and Cameron who had come to the Boozt Merchant Guild to force Phoebe. Unfortunately, they ran into Han Shuo by chance. In the end, Aubrey and Cameron were both affected by Han Shuo's Fire and Ice poison, causing him to suffer from freezing cold and scorching heat for the next few days.

Of course, Aubrey realised that this was Han Shuo's doing. However, he knew that Han Shuo wasn't someone he could provoke. Therefore, he could only swallow this suffering and hide the thought of revenge in his heart.

After returning to the Boozt Merchant Guild today, Aubrey had a Temple Knight from the Church of Light with him, as well as many other mage experts. He was confident that he would be able to do what he hadn't been able to do before: capture Phoebe and use her to threaten the Sacred Swordmaster Karel, so that he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Behind Aubrey was a squadron of a hundred soldiers and the Templar, who wore the pattern of an olive branch on his chest. The fleeing Phoebe had only thirty guards with her. Even though Phoebe was a Great Swordsmaster herself, there was no way she could defeat these opponents.

As Aubrey spoke, he had already unleashed a Spatial Rend, sending a shining blade across. The guards beside Phoebe suddenly lost large chunks of flesh as the Spatial Rend took part of their bodies into another space.

""Bang!" Phoebe, who was retreating, suddenly felt an invisible wall slam into her back, her whole body actually shooting forward a few steps.

"Aubrey, you still dare to show up at my Boozt Merchant Guild? Are you all crazy? You actually dare to disregard everything and kill so many servants and guards?" Phoebe obviously didn't know that King Uhtred had died, and just like Han Shuo at the beginning, her heart filled with extreme horror. She had never imagined that Ashburn would dare to be so brazen.

"Haha, we are not mad. After tonight, both Ossen City and the Lancelot Empire would belong to His Highness Charles. Tonight, every hostile power would be eliminated." Aubrey laughed wildly before answering.

"Less unnecessary words. Capture this woman as soon as possible. We have other matters to attend to," the Templar spoke suddenly.

Hearing the Templar speak, Aubrey stopped laughing in embarrassment and nodded as he replied, "Lord Crespo, this woman is a Great Swordsmaster. We must work together to capture her alive."

"Then make your move!" The temple knight named Crespo didn't say a useless word, he raised his silver spear and walked towards Phoebe.

As he brandished the silver spear, a milky-white glow erupted from its tip. A holy aura gradually spread from Crespo's body. His silver armour suddenly burst into bright light, causing Crespo's aura to rise tremendously.

Phoebe was startled and backed away slightly before Crespo approached. Soon after, she brandished the divine weapon 'Starry Sky' and suddenly unleashed a huge cross-cut that reached Crespo in a flash.

Crespo let out a soft snort and raised his spear towards the centre of the incoming giant Cross Slash. The Cross Slash suddenly soared into the sky, slicing a branch as thick as a bowl in two.

"Just a recently advanced Great Swordsmaster, you should just obediently wait to be captured." Crespo said coldly, his body turning into a series of afterimages due to his high speed. The spear in his hand suddenly seemed to become several hundred as it flew towards Phoebe.

A ring of starlight suddenly erupted from the divine Starry Sky weapon. The specks of starlight spread outwards, forming many crossbows. They carried a terrifying power as they suddenly exploded. As the hundreds of blurry silver spears suddenly shattered into dust, the explosive force spread out, causing Crespo to groan and hastily fall back a few steps.

"Good, very good. You are actually able to borrow the power of the Divine Weapon to unleash Karel's Cross Slash. No wonder old Karel thinks so highly of you!" Crespo retreated a few steps, seven or eight small holes appearing in the shoulder area of his silver armour, his expression cold as he spoke.

"Who would have thought that the Templar of the Church of Light would actually become the Elder Prince's dog? Is this something your religious organisation, which transcends worldly power, should be doing? Phoebe sneered at him as well, her face filled with contempt.

"Miss, hurry up and go, we'll bring up the rear," the head guard of the Boozt Merchant Guild pleaded with Phoebe impatiently.

Phoebe shook her head and said helplessly, "There's no way to escape!"

Phoebe's side didn't have any formidable mages. In the face of troops with warhorses who coordinated with mages and archers, running wasn't a reasonable choice, as the speed of the mages who could fly far outstripped them.

"Aubrey, ask your men to act together. After we have killed this woman, we still have other things to do. Don't waste too much time." Crespo glanced at Aubrey and frowned as he said this coldly.

Aubrey nodded his head in agreement as he replied, "Alright then, we'll act together."

After nodding to Aubrey, Crespo raised his spear again and headed towards Phoebe. With a simple turn of his spear, a bolt of silver light suddenly shot out. At the same moment, Aubrey began to chant an incantation, and a space-type magical shackle caused the surrounding space to fluctuate as it shot towards Phoebe.

The mages beside Aubrey chanted incantations one after the other. Magic barriers of all sizes descended towards Phoebe. The distant archers had also arrived, all of them drawing their bows and aiming at Phoebe.

Bang...

When Phoebe's blow blocked Crespo's silver light, she suddenly felt a strong force and couldn't help but take a few steps back. These two steps caused Phoebe to fall into the path of the space magic shackles. All sorts of formless energy suddenly rushed out, making Phoebe feel as if she was tangled in countless ropes, unable to move at all.

"Take her away. With Phoebe in our hands, that old bastard Karel will definitely know his place!" Aubrey laughed heartily with pride as he instructed a few knights behind him.

"Hehehe, this woman is truly beautiful. Tsk tsk, her skin is extremely smooth. I have never seen a woman with such soft skin." One of the knights who came over smiled lecherously and tried to caress Phoebe's face as he tied her up with a rope.

As Phoebe, who couldn't move or speak, saw the rough hand approaching her face, her eyes filled with intense panic and anger. She thought uncontrollably of Han Shuo at this vulnerable moment and thought, "How good it will be if you scoundrel is able to come and rescue me. As long as you show up, I might even forgive you. I don't want anyone but you to touch me..."

When a woman was scared, vulnerable and helpless, the first person she would think of was definitely her man. Phoebe was no exception. When she saw the knight's hand about to caress her face as she lost her head in fear, Phoebe called out for Han Shuo in her heart.

Swoosh!

Just as the rough hand was about to touch Phoebe's face, there was a sound. Soon after, the knight began to howl in pain. The rough hand was severed at the wrist, dripping blood as it fell at Phoebe's feet.

"Who is it?" Crespo suddenly shouted loudly, on guard as he looked in all directions. The silver spear in his hand flickered with silver light.

Swoosh!

A streak of black light flashed past in the moonless night, and the knight whose hand had been chopped off let out another mournful howl. Everyone looked around and realised that the knight's other hand had also been chopped off.

"Get Phoebe, hurry!" Aubrey suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly instructed the still distracted knights.

The few of them immediately set to work, planning to tie Phoebe up first with the thick rope in their hands.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The strand of black light appeared again and again, like a black thread weaving the curtain of night. The knights who tried to approach Phoebe had their outstretched hands chopped off one by one. In an instant, more hands appeared at Phoebe's feet.

Phoebe was magically bound and couldn't move, but her eyes didn't miss anything that happened around her. She suddenly felt an intense happiness fill her heart. Without having to think, Phoebe knew that Han Shuo had arrived. With the current crisis resolved, Phoebe momentarily forgot about Han Shuo's bad points, only remembering that Han Shuo had helped her time and time again.

"Bryan... Damn it, why have you only arrived now..." Phoebe shouted loudly in her heart. Her eyes were filled with happiness and serenity. She was no longer worried about the danger around her, as if with the existence of that black shaft of light, there was no longer any danger to her.

"Come out, you cowardly sneak attacker!" Crespo suddenly shouted loudly as he lunged at Phoebe.

"That person, that person has arrived!" Aubrey suddenly recovered from his shock and shouted at Crespo.

Crespo was distracted for a moment before he quickly came to his senses and shouted, "That's impossible. That guy is powerless to defend himself, he shouldn't be able to appear so quickly!"

"According to who?" A chilling voice suddenly came from afar. As the voice sounded, a shadow was already standing by Phoebe's side.

Han Shuo glanced at Crespo, his left hand gently pressing on Phoebe's back and suddenly erupting in violent energy. A series of crackling sounds rang out in Phoebe's surroundings. Several barriers and Aubrey's restraints suddenly shattered into many pieces.

Phoebe, who had been bound and unable to move, suddenly felt that she could move her whole body. Prior to Han Shuo's arrival, Phoebe was constantly calling out to him in her heart, even thinking to herself that if Han Shuo saved her once again, she would forgive his fickleness. However, when Han Shuo actually appeared and Phoebe's danger was removed, She thought about what had happened and felt that she shouldn't forgive him so easily. So she snorted quietly, but said nothing.

"Hehehe, you even dare to touch my woman. Courting death!" After Han Shuo broke Phoebe's shackles with a single blow, he looked menacingly at the people in front of him and said coldly.

"Pa! Who's your woman? You fickle scoundrel!" Phoebe was both happy and ashamed, and couldn't help but glare hatefully at Han Shuo, panting in anger as she said, "I still haven't forgiven you for this. Please stop talking nonsense!"

"Of course Miss Phoebe is my woman. If you weren't my woman , why would I travel all the way to the north of the city to rescue you?" Han Shuo grinned as he replied to Phoebe.

"It really is you. How is that possible, how did you manage to escape from Lord Kosse's clutches?" Crespo's expression changed as he looked at Han Shuo in shock as he spoke.

"Kosse? Huh, in several fights, it seemed like the one who was always fleeing was that guy?" Han Shuo said calmly to Crespo. As he spoke, Han Shuo had already pulled out the Skeleton Staff, his expression gradually growing colder.

"This time is different. Besides Lord Kosse, there's also Lord Blount. How did you manage to escape?" Crespo was at a loss and retreated in fear.

Han Shuo's bad reputation was well known in the Church of Light at the moment. Red Archbishop Kosse had been defeated by him many times. Han Shuo's strength was also gradually being recognised by the people within the Church of Light. Crespo still had some self-confidence, and he knew that with his strength, he definitely wasn't Han Shuo's match. The thought of retreating had appeared in his heart.

"None of you will leave here alive!" Han Shuo announced their fate as the skeleton staff began to summon undead creatures.

Red Archbishop Kosse, who wielded the divine artefact 'Revelation', was not here, and there were no light mages present who could quickly purify undead creatures. Han Shuo was confident that he could kill them all quickly.
