CHAPTER 840: I Want You Dead(2)

Necrotoxin affects both the mind and the body. Once the toxins entered one's body, it would be difficult to use even eighty percent of one's strength. It was very difficult to extract and refine Necrotoxin, and even more difficult to fuse it into a demonic weapon. Little Skeleton had demonstrated his mastery of the art of weapon refinement by successfully fusing Necrotoxin into his bone spear.

The Necrotoxin had secretly entered the Highgod of Darkness, disguising itself under the dull green lights. It affected his divine body and soul, preventing him from using his full power.

When the bone spear burst with green light, Little Skeleton had arrived before the Highgod. He grabbed the bone spear with his crystal-like hand and thrust it at the Highgod, unleashing another wave of attacks.

Bone Arrows, Bone Prison, and Corpse Explosion spells were also used against the Highgod of darkness, forcing him to use all his energy to defend himself.

It was clear that Han Hao's strength was superior to his, and he was losing the battle from the start. With the bone spear, Han Hao tore more and more wounds into the divine body, while the necrotoxin continued to ravage his divine body and break down his willpower.

On the other side, the three Highgods and the rest of Buzz's followers charged at Rose and the five elite zombies. However, with Han Shuo standing beside them, they were not worried at all. They did not put up any defences, but stood calmly.

The non-participating forces watching the battle were surprised. They did not expect Han Shuo and his group to stay and fight instead of trying to break the encirclement.

Haruli's eyes opened wide and he focused all his attention on Han Hao. He was stunned. Haruli had not expected the average-looking Han Hao to have such formidable strength, or for Han Hao to have taken the upper hand from the beginning. The Highgod of darkness was overwhelmed and could not even counterattack.

The other followers of Buzz had finally closed the distance to Han Shuo. They charged at Han Shuo and his party from several directions, planning to attack them all at once.

At that moment, the warm smile on Han Shuo's face grew even wider.

Suddenly, hundreds of demon generals flew out of Han Shuo's body in an instant. The fierce swarm of demon generals moved as fast as lightning. They spread out in all directions, sweeping up the followers of Buzz.

The tragedy of Hushveil City was being recreated. The hundreds or thousands of demon generals in their gruesome form bared their bloody fangs and pounced on their victims, making eerie, deafening screeches.

The demon generals could switch between material and immaterial forms, making them extremely difficult to fight. Once the Demon Generals managed to fly into their divine bodies, they would begin to gnaw and devour them.

The victims would immediately feel pain and fear that they would not forget for the rest of their lives. The sound of the demon generals devouring their bodies would terrorise their minds as they suffered the hellish torment.

Pitiful screams came out of their mouths. The hundreds of demon generals destroyed Buzz's army in a matter of moments. Their divine souls were absorbed into the Cauldron of the Myriad Demon , leaving behind their rotting divine bodies that had been dug up from within.

All the corpses lying on the ground were shriveled and looked as if they had been mummified thousands of years ago. There was no blood oozing from their gaping wounds, nor was there any to be seen in their flesh. They looked exactly like the ancient Fey zombies Han Shuo had summoned from the netherworld. They all died with expressions of extreme fear and agony, frozen in contorted positions.

The forces on the outer perimeter had been happily discussing how to divide the spoils of war after Buzz was finished. But as Buzz's followers were transformed into shriveled bodies in a matter of moments, they suddenly became utterly silent. They were thunderstruck.

Haruli, Buzz, Bertha and all the observers had the same look of shock on their faces. Their gazes were focused on Han Shuo, who was wearing an amiable smile.

During Han Shuo's stay in the Fringe, the Cauldron of the Myriad Demon had absorbed so many more divine souls that there were eventually more than a thousand demon generals in the Cauldron, including several dozen spirit demons - the highest grade of demon general produced by Highgod souls. Those thirty-something followers of Buzz's stood no chance against the swarm of demon generals that was more than a thousand strong.

Apart from the Highgod of darkness, who was still struggling to defend himself against Han Hao, all of Buzz's followers, including the three Highgods, had been killed by Han Shuo's demon generals.

Still wearing a broad smile, Han Shuo looked around and saw the faces of all the observers. He cleared his throat softly, and the great swarm of demon generals quickly flew back into his body. The huge and deadly dark cloud completely disappeared in an instant.

"Han Hao, finish him off!" Han Shuo instructed with a smile.

Upon hearing Han Shuo's command, the seven bone spurs behind Han Hao's back suddenly shot off. The energy released by Little Skeleton was amplified once again. The dark cloud around the Highgod of Darkness was quickly shredded by the seven bone spurs.

The Highgod of Darkness had been stretched to the limit defending against Han Hao's attacks since the beginning of the battle. His defences were immediately overwhelmed by the bone spurs, and he was pierced by one of the shorter ones.

A bizarre transformation suddenly took place!

As the bone spur penetrated his divine body, it began to bore deeper, like a living writhing snake. Soon after, the Highgod's hair turned white, his skin lost its elasticity, and his muscles atrophied - all in a matter of seconds.

But that was not all!

His eyes sank deeper into their sockets and shrank. The vitality drained from his body as it began to rot. A moment later, the bulky middle-aged man died of accelerated ageing!

The Enchantment of Aging, one of the trump cards of the Death Energy, had been released from the short bone spur.

Whoosh!

The bone spur returned to the little skeleton. The sounds of cracking and shattering bones could be heard as the Highgod of Darkness divine body collapsed to the ground. It was clear that his life force had been completely drained!

At this point, the observers also realised that Little Skeleton had not used his full power!

A person's plans and expectations usually do not match reality. In this case, Buzz had failed spectacularly. Not only were all his followers dead, but they had died horribly. Their bodies were all in a disgusting state!

The battle was over, even though Han Shuo, Rose, and the Five Elite Zombies had not moved a single muscle. The demon generals who had bizarrely appeared had vanished without a trace. If it weren't for the corpses lying everywhere, the crowd watching from the sidelines might even think that the terrifying scene they were seeing was just an illusion.

"Just... just like that..." remarked Haruli, who had been watching the fight. His gaze towards Han Shuo was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

"My Lord, I think I know now why they rejected our proposal," Haruli's follower said with a bitter smile, thinking that Han Shuo and his party would die horribly. I must have been blind to think that a group of deadly devils were just a bunch of weak lambs," he thought.

Suddenly, the other twenty-odd forces that had surrounded Han Shuo began to move backwards at the same time, giving Han Shuo, Buzz, Bertha and the others even more space. The few groups that had blocked Han Shuo's retreat exchanged glances and moved away without saying a word, as if to indicate that they did not want to make enemies with Han Shuo.

The Omphalos guard at the checkpoint who had warned and cautioned Han Shuo shook his head and laughed. He remarked, "So they did not need my advice after all. It turns out they are formidable experts. No wonder they have the courage to offend so many powerful forces at once!"

The crowd, which had other plans, had different reactions. But Buzz and Bertha were undoubtedly the most remorseful of all. The army they wielded, which had long given them a niche in the Fringe, was destroyed in a matter of moments. The duo, now without a single servant, suddenly found themselves in a precarious position.

Buzz gritted his teeth. He was ready to go forward for an all out fight, but Bertha had managed to quickly stop him with her eyes. Bertha put an 'amiable' smile on her ugly face and said to Han Shuo, "Friend, I think we must have some misunderstanding!"

Han Shuo couldn't help but laugh at Bertha himself. "Huh? Misunderstandings? Do we? That doesn't seem to be the case at all!" Han Shuo could not be more amazed at how shameless Bertha was to say those words in front of so many people.

"We only hold a grudge against Rose, but not against you!" Bertha replied hastily. She suggested, "We have a well-established presence in the Fringe. Friend, as long as you promise to leave Rose behind, we are willing to pay you five million black crystal coins. Will you do us this favour?"

Buzz's face went dark when he heard these words from Bertha. He seemed to disagree with her decision, but did nothing after Bertha glared at him. He groaned to indicate that he disagreed.

A large number of their experts had been slaughtered. Not only did Bertha not want revenge, she offered five million black crystal coins for Han Shuo to leave. For Buzz, this was nothing short of humiliating. If Han Shuo hadn't just shown his amazing strength, Buzz would have ignored Bertha and rushed forward to fight Han Shuo.

Under Bertha's hopeful gaze, Han Shuo smilingly shook his head and replied, "My apologies. I don't want your money, I want your lives!"
