CHAPTER 751: You Are No Match For Us

Bollands had been waiting for those words!

As soon as Han Shuo's voice fell, Bollands charged forward with murderous intent. Killing intent spread around his body before condensing into matter and shooting towards the two divine guards standing at the cave entrance.

The two, who continued to taunt Anito and his teammates, were stunned. Bolland's killing intent was so terrifying that they found it difficult to breathe. Even the divine energy in their bodies was affected; they were unable to raise more than half their usual strengths.

Shiiiiing! A slender and fine sword-awl flashed but the two divine guards remained frozen in their terrified postures. They were still staring foolishly at Han Shuo and his party.

But a few seconds after, thuds were heard. Their cleanly cut chunks of flesh slowly slid apart before falling on to the ground. The nose-assailing scent of blood started spreading in every direction. Their flesh, intestines, and organs decorated the floor as their blood crept everywhere. It was an inhuman scene.

Bollands, as he looked at the severed bodies, put on a faint smile of satisfaction. It was as though he very much enjoyed murdering and the bloody scene.

As Bollands cultivated in God-Slaying Devil Path, the further he advanced into the demonic art, the more extreme he would become. He would gain a perverted obsession with killing people. Once he sprung into action, he cannot stop until someone dies to his hand, usually in a gory manner. It was for this reason that Han Shuo asked him 'not to make it too bloody'.

Anito, Deco, and two other divine guards of the Third Corps felt chills up their spines when they saw that Bollands, who usually do not display any emotion, put on a satisfied smile when he stood in the pool of minced meat. They thought, Lunatic, truly a lunatic! I must not offend this guy by all means!

Han Shuo wrinkled his brows and asked, "Didn't I ask you not to make it too bloody?"

The smile on Bolland's face turned bitter. He bowed to Han Shuo and explained, "I'm sorry, Senior, but I tried my best!"

Han Shuo waved his hand and took a few steps back. He said, "Nevermind. We will just wait for them to come out."

Considering how strong the stench of blood was at the cave entrance, those inside the cave would surely be alerted by the smell. Han Shuo planned to draw the battlefield outside the cave, as the cave was rather narrow and therefore less suitable for fierce fighting.

The smell of blood wafted through the air. Soon, some of Eugene's divine guards arrived to scout the situation. They almost threw up when they saw the bloody scene painted with the guts of their comrades. When they saw Anito and the gang standing outside, they shouted loudly to alert the others.

The corners of Bolland's lips curled into a sinister, murderous smile. He raised the longsword in his hand, ready to take more lives.

"Wait! Wait until they are all here," Han Shuo instructed.

"Yes, Senior!" replied Bollands respectfully. He stood motionless, staring at the divine guards with fierce eyes. He looked like a beast that wanted to kill them and eat their eyes for jujubes.

More divine guards rushed out of the cave. They could tell from the blood-stained armour that the dead were their teammates.

These people did not seem well after witnessing the inhuman scene at the cave entrance. Some of the divine guards turned pale and almost vomited.

The most important character was usually the last to enter the scene. After all his divine guards had emerged from the cave, Eugene of Hushveil finally appeared, revealing his cold face. His gaze became even darker when he saw the chopped human flesh. "You must be here to die!"

"Bastard, it is you who will die! You must be tired of living to steal from my master. But that's okay, because we're going to end your tired old life!" Gilbert shouted abuse at Eugene without restraint. "Look, fuck face, if you still have any sense, cut your own throat. Don't make me waste my precious energy killing you!"

Han Shuo was quite surprised at how fluently Gilbert had said those malicious words. It seemed that even being killed once wasn't enough to change Gilbert's nature. In fact, Gilbert seemed to have advanced in the art of cursing. At least these words were new to Han Shuo's ears.

Gilbert continued to bombard Eugene with curses. When Eugene's head blushed, Gilbert said contentedly, "Tsk tsk, look at that fuck face. Yuck. I would at least wear a mask outside if I were you - no wait, I would be too ashamed to face anyone!"

"Kill that fuckin' clown!" Eugene shouted loudly. He could not stand it any longer.

Eugene had originally intended to use diplomacy before force. But who knew that Gilbert would greet him with such harsh and malicious words. The enraged Eugene could not continue with a peaceful discussion until Gilbert was dead.

A few divine guards immediately flew out from behind Eugene. They had wanted to finish Gilbert for a long time, especially when they discovered that Gilbert was only in the Early-stage of the Lowgod realm. Such an unbridled, brassy lowgod ought to be taught a lesson.

"Hehe, what a bunch of dimwits!" Gilbert laughed maniacally. When the first midgod got beside Gilbert, he threw a punch while howling with laughter. His arm appeared pitch-dark. The veins on his arms looked as though bizarre, tiny dark snakes, causing his arm to look violently beautiful.

Pow! The Early-stage Midgod who charged at Gilbert was sent flying backward along with the divine weapon in his hand. This divine guard who had gravely underestimated Gilbert sustained serious injuries before he could even display his power.

Sanguis' blood-red eyes gave a flash of bright radiance as he stared at the injured divine guard in the eyes. He felt as if some kind of energy from Sanguis's eyes had entered his body. In the next instant, he was shocked to discover that the blood in his body was no longer under his control. He was bleeding from his ears, eyes, nostrils, mouth, penis and anus.

"Ah!!" this Midgod was bleeding from every orifice of his body. The feeling of slowly approaching death made him scream and cry out in fear.

Sanguis's red eyes began to glow bright red as he smiled faintly.

The other divine guards who were charging at Gilbert were shocked and retreated in panic. At that moment, Bollands, his face full of ferocity and thirst for blood, suddenly drew his sword, filled with a murderous aura. The sword he wielded had been refined by Han Shuo, and it glowed with a cold aura. It flew towards the divine guards as they retreated in fear, piercing bloody holes in their armour-clad chests.

"What is going on? What is happening? My blood is leaving my body!" the midgod injured by Gilbert still screamed in fear, but his voice grew weaker as his face turned pale.

As the crowd watched, the Midgod's body slowly shrank. He convulsed for a few moments before all the blood and water was drained from his body. He turned into a lifeless, desiccated body.

Anito and his divine guards, who had originally intended to help Gilbert resist the enemies, stared blankly and dumbfounded. They had a clear understanding of Bolland's strength, but not of Gilbert and Sanguis's, as they had never left Celestial Pearl before. They had no idea that the two of them would be so shocking.

Gilbert, an Early-stage Lowgod, had severely injured his opponent, who was a class above him, with just one blow. Sanguis, meanwhile, had made the Midgod bleed uncontrollably just by looking at him. They had never expected to see anything like that happen and were thoroughly intimidated by the two.

Monsters! All those from Celestial Pearl are monsters! thought Anito and his men.

They weren't the only ones who were astonished. All the divine guards led by Eugene were flabbergasted. Eugene expression turned uglier. He did not expect Han Shuo to have such strange subordinates and had not an inkling about the energies Sanguis and Bollands cultivated in. Although he knew that GIlbert cultivated in the energy of darkness, he couldn't understand how he could severely injure his divine guard with just one punch.

"Get the fuck out of this cave. From today onwards, everything here belongs to the House of Han of the City of Shadows!" Gilbert started acting complacent yet again. He waved his middle finger at Eugene and said disdainfully, "You are no match against us!"

"Kill this goddamn jackanapes!" roared the enraged Eugene, "Team two and three, attack! I will take all the consequences!"

The Divine Guardians behind Eugene had wanted to finish off Gilbert for a long time. A large group of divine guards charged forward at Eugene's command. They signalled to each other with their eyes and decided to divide into three groups of ten, one each for Gilbert, Bollands and Sanguis.

Han Shuo had a clear understanding of the strengths of his three apprentices from the observation he had just made. Of the three, Sanguis was the strongest and had approximately Mid-stage Midgod strength. Bollands and Gilbert were slightly weaker. They should have Early-stage Midgod strength.

Han Shuo was confident that the three of them could easily defeat opponents of the same class in a one-on-one battle. But against ten divine guards at once, their lives would be in danger. After all, the divine guards under Eugene were all midgods!

Sanguis, Bolland and Gilbert wore solemn faces, but Han Shuo cracked a grin. With a single thought, the seventeen flying swords flew out of his body. The flying swords, travelling at extreme speeds, whizzed and made a circle. Suddenly, pitiful screams were heard.

Bodies began to rain down from the air. When they hit the ground, they shattered into pieces like balloons filled with blood and watery flesh. Soon all the bodies had melted into the bloody water. Not a single piece of bone or flesh remained.

The thirty elite divine guards who had gone on conquests with Eugene for countless years were reduced to a puddle of watery blood that slowly flowed into the ground.

Anito and his men couldn't understand why Sanguis, Bolland and Gilbert, those three fiends, were so obedient to Han Shuo. But after witnessing the scene, it became clear to them!

At that moment, Han Shuo still had a gentle smile on his face. However, to Anito and his men, that smile seemed to carry a hint of malice and ferocity!

"Eugene, take your men and get out of here! Leave behind all the energy ores you have mined. From this day forward, everything in this mountain belongs to my House of Han!" said Han Shuo calmly as he smiled at Eugene.

"You killed thirty of my men? How, how dare you!" shouted Eugene. He was shaking with rage as he saw the elites he had worked so hard to train reduced to nothing.

Han Shuo shook his head and sighed. He muttered, "What a rude person. Well, then the hard way!"

As soon as Han Shuo finished uttering these words, the seventeen flying swords that had been hovering in the air flew towards the remaining divine guards. After much whooshing and screeching, all of Eugene's divine guards were killed and turned into puddles of watery blood!

The Cauldron Spirit suddenly flew out of Han Shuo's body. It flew in circles over the scene of the massacre, collecting these divine souls before they dissipated between heaven and earth.

"You, you!" Eugene pointed at Han Shuo with a shaking hand and shouted as if he had lost his mind, "I will finish you!"

The seventeen flying swords immediately flew towards Eugene. The smile on Han Shuo's face gradually turned cold as he closed his eyes. With his consciousness, he began to deploy the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation. The seventeen flying swords formed abstruse patterns in the air. Cold, fierce winds began to blow in their centre as the killing intent rose. It was as if he had been condemned to hell.

Eugene was a Mid-stage Highgod expert. Against such a powerful expert, Han Shuo had to use the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation. Han Shuo operated the formation with his consciousness, weaving sword radiances that disrupted Eugene's Domain of Divinity, preventing him from utilising much of the elemental energy around him.

At that time, Han Shuo was informed by the Cauldron Spirit that he could slaughter an Early-stage Highgod the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation without using the Cauldron Spirit's energy. After testing the sword formation live-trial, Han Shuo confirmed that it was indeed true.

However, Eugene was a Mid-stage Highgod. Even though he couldn't counterattack within the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation, he seemed to be able to withstand its power for quite some time.

"Cauldron Spirit, return!" Han Shuo doesn't want to waste much time and effort on Eugene. With a thought, the Cauldron Spirit that had collected all the divine souls returned to Han Shuo's body. The energy of the demon generals flooded Han Shuo's body in an instant. It was then that the first form of the sword formation, Ceaseless Pain, could be activated.

As soon as Ceaseless Pain was activated, the crisscrossing sword radiances turned into substance, and the chilling wind grew ten times fiercer. Strings of bizarre energies raged through the sword formation, destroying the layer of defence Eugene had erected. Then there was a loud, pitiful scream. Eugene was shattered, his flesh sent flying in every direction.

"A Highgod soul! Haha, wonderful, I can finally refine a Demon General of the highest rank!" the Cauldron Spirit rejoiced. It excitedly flew out of Han Shuo's body and pounced on Eugene's Highgod soul!
