Chapter 607: Tactics

As Han Shuo saw his three bodies being threatened by a cold aura, his heart remained unshaken as he calmly searched for a way to neutralise the dangers.

All three bodies simultaneously retreated in three different directions. The spaces between them grew larger and larger. As the alien fist, which seemed to have congealed the coldness of an entire winter, was about to land on Han Shuo's Avatar of Destruction, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

The Avatar of Death quickly retreated and was instantly transported far away from the icy barrier. Meanwhile, Han Shuo's main body stopped retreating and returned, swooshing towards the being behind him. The space ring on his finger emitted a faint flash and three Pearls of Annihilation shot out at the entity occupying Tiana's body at lightning speed.

Rumbling...

Deafening explosions erupted from the three spheres. The ice barrier was instantly shattered by the powerful blasts.

The simultaneous detonations of the three Pearls of Annihilation sent shockwaves that were more than enough to shatter the barrier. The formless, dense swarm of Soulpiercers contained within the Pearls of Annihilation were unleashed upon the being.

The demonic arts were unlike any elemental energy or edict power in this world. Even this midgod was rather disconcerted by the attack. He was unable to completely dodge the Soulpiercers' dense swarm, and at least a few of them were caught.

The Soulpiercer was vicious. As soon as it entered a victim's body, it would immediately attack their soul like an unforgiving evil spirit. The victim would be torn to pieces before he could even take a breath.

"Huh?" The creature cried out in surprise for the third time. He was obviously taken aback by Han Shuo's fancy methods of attack.

The man had felt the threat to his soul as soon as the Soulpiercers entered his body. The blow that was about to land on Han Shuo was stopped only an inch away. He had no choice but to focus all his attention on eliminating the Soulpiercer's threat.

The Soulpiercer could easily serve any average expert with extraordinary destructive power. The weaker ones would even be destroyed by the Soulpiercer's corrosion. However, from Han Shuo's experience in the Abyss Realm, the soul of a godly expert was truly powerful. A soul that had merged with the elements was not something the Soulpiercers could destroy.

The more powerful the soul, the greater its affinity and compatibility with the element. Therefore, the less time it would take to get rid of the Soulpiercers.

Han Shuo was well aware of this principle. Therefore, as soon as he saw that the man had given up on attacking his avatar of destruction and retreated, all three of Han Shuo's bodies began to move again, charging at the man while he was in the midst of eliminating the threat of the Soulpiercers.

""Despicable!" the man shouted coldly. Not daring to face the attacks of the three Han Shuos directly, he retreated hastily, much to Han Shuo's surprise.

"Despicable? Hehe, it is called tactics. Not that you would know anything about it!"

"You are the despicable one. As a midgod who's been around forever, just to kill a little lowgod, you've absorbed the power of faith from all the disciples here and possessed the body of the most devout one. Are you not despicable?"

"That's why you don't call others despicable when you are unworthy of calling others despicable!"

The three Han Shuos rushed towards him, each of their mouths spewing words of ridicule. The constant barrage of insults had left the man speechless.

The three Han Shuos finally arrived at his side. Showing no sign of politeness, the man had absolutely no way of unleashing his full power, especially with Han Shuo's main body and his Avatar of Destruction as the main attacking force, and his Avatar of Death unleashing auxiliary necromancy magic and boundaries without end.

Originating from a distant material plane, he could only unleash a small portion of his energy by manifesting through Tiana's body. And now, with the Soulpiercers attacking his soul and the constant interference from the necromancy magic, on top of being besieged by the other two Han Shuo clones, this being was beginning to look a little tired from dealing with all of this at the same time.

Han Shuo had never cared for established norms and was most fond of delivering heavy blows when his opponent was in their most helpless state. Obviously, this battle was no exception. The three Han Shuos were transfixed on the man in their midst, overwhelmed by the constant onslaught of demonic arts, necromantic boundaries and edicts of destruction.

The being, who had appeared calm and cold since his manifestation, finally showed signs of fatigue. His two hands, constantly weaving ice barriers, began to weaken.

It was not possible for a soul to manifest through a medium on a distant material plane for an extended period of time. And the longer it took, the more disadvantageous it was. Han Shuo had become very aware of this fact after obtaining certain memories from the original owner of the Skeleton Staff.

Once it was clear that the man was completely exhausted, he pressed harder with his attacks, giving him absolutely no chance to fight back. He planned to use this opportunity to completely deplete the man's divine energy.

The man was grumpy. He had truly never met anyone with such despicable and relentless attack tactics as Han Shuo. Had it not been for the exotic energy that still stirred his soul, he might not have been so passive. Unfortunately, after Han Shuo's sneak attack, he was left without the luxury of time and could only watch helplessly as he was turned into a sitting duck with no chance to retaliate.

But what bothered him more than anything else was the never-ending taunts and scornful remarks. Three Han Shuos, three mouths. His superiority in numbers had not only been reflected in his methods of attack, but also in his ability to confuse the enemy's mind.

As he launched his attacks, his three mouths spewed their venom incessantly - greeting his ancestors, mocking his incompetence, and telling him what he'd look like after his death, psychologically attacking him over and over again. This kind of torment was simply unbearable for most people.

With his demonic arts up to the Nine Changes Realm, Han Shuo's body, heart and mind had reached a state of absolute peace. He spoke calmly. His verbal attacks were becoming more varied and creative.

"Silence!" The being glared at Han Shuo in agony and shouted, "You are a Lowgod yourself. How could you be so vile?"

The three Han Shuos were stunned and remained silent for a while. But soon, the three chattering lips continued with even more viciousness. They completely disregarded the being.

I have two more mouths than you. I'd be a fool not to use that to my advantage! Han Shuo sneered. Judging by the man's reaction, his tactics seemed to be working.

Bump! Bump! Bump! Han Shuo's attacks landed on an ice barrier.

Suddenly, a blinding light began to erupt from Tiana's body. Her body shrank rapidly as it glowed. It was as if all the energy in her body was being absorbed by her bones.

Boom! The sound of an explosion came from Tiana's body. Several hundred freezing arrows shot out violently in all directions. Some of them fell on the three Han Shuos, who were taken by surprise.

The hundreds of icy arrows were fast and ferocious. They also contained a terrifying amount of divine energy. As the three Han Shuos had surrounded the being and pressed in hard, all three Han Shuos were hit by the frosty arrows, causing varying degrees of damage to his three bodies.

Han Shuo's three bodies soon felt the chilling aura. This frosty aura was not only targeting his bodies, it was also attacking his soul, as if it wanted to freeze Han Shuo to death.

Creak... Creak...

The unsettling sound of freezing emanated from all three of Han Shuo's bodies. Solid ice covered them in an instant, quickly turning them into glittering ice sculptures. Their mocking, cursing and sneering faces were frozen in place, making them look rather comical.

By this time, Tiana had been reduced to a bloody bundle of bones. It was as if her skin and flesh had been absorbed by her skeleton. It was a bloody scene.

A pair of stone-cold, pitiless eyes glared at the three Han Shuos as the being fidgeted and said, "I've had enough of your voice, now shut up forever!

With a wave of his hand, three icicles the width of a broadsword appeared out of thin air and shot at the three Han Shuos separately at lightning speed. They pierced the ice on Han Shuo's body and ran straight through his chest.

"Breathe... breathe... breathe... breathe..." The being inside his inhuman body gasped for air. It seemed that the three Han Shuos had consumed too much of his divine energy, and he was feeling quite tired.

"What is this thing? How could he have three bodies? He also uses energy of an unknown origin. This guy is truly eccentric!" the man muttered to himself as he gasped and stared at Han Shuo.

"Fortunately, he will be finished soon enough and this mission will be completed soon. However, a lot of divine energy has been used up. Not much has been gained on this journey," he continued, muttering to himself in a low voice. The remaining flesh on his bloody skeleton body was slowly freezing. It seemed to be recovering some divine energy before it dealt the fatal blows to Han Shuo's souls.

All three of Han Shuo's bodies were stuck by the freezing arrows. The icy aura of incredible power had instantly frozen his limbs and body. After that, three icicles pierced through all three bodies, causing different degrees of injuries to his three bodies.

Although his bodies were still frozen, his consciousness remained intact and his mind calm.

Had it been any other god, it would have been very difficult for them to make a comeback after such repeated attacks. After all, their divine body was the root for them, and it would be very difficult to move after such severe injuries.

However, none of Han Shuo's three bodies were ordinary. The Destruction Avatar was formed from the Demonslayer's Edge. The death avatar was formed from the skeletal staff. Han Shuo's main body that cultivated the Demonic Arts had a physical body that was basically indestructible. How could it be compared to an ordinary body?

Therefore, even though all three of Han Shuo's bodies were completely frozen, he had not lost the ability to counterattack.

Just as the man thought that Han Shuo was powerless and was silently gathering his divine energy to deal the final blow to Han Shuo's souls, a creaking soul came from Han Shuo's Avatar of Destruction.

The man was startled and hastily turned his head to look. He immediately screamed in shock at the scene before him.
