CHAPTER 288: Torn Asunder

"Not bad, little one!" Leah Cain could clearly sense the enormous murderous intent of his opponent. His eyes shone with the excitement of battle. combat aura gathered around his broadsword. He didn't wait for Han Shuo to land on the ground as the silver combat aura shot directly at his head like a silver rainbow.

A murderous aura continued to condense around Han Shuo's body. His pupils had turned deep red and his expression was ferocious. The sinister, evil aura in the form of a bloody mist rushed to engulf Leah Cain. The purple-red spellfire, two metres long, floated eerily down in a strange trajectory, like a large, beautiful feather fluttering in the wind.

An explosive rumble echoed as the spellfire smashed into the silver combat aura. Brilliant fireworks exploded in the air as the two lights intertwined. Deep red light, silver aura and purple light shimmered endlessly. Metallic collisions echoed incessantly from the mystically beautiful fireworks.

Leah Cain stood on the ground, his two legs forced knee-deep into the ground by the powerful pressure of the explosion above him. The violent reactions continued to ring in his ears. An alternating force of two polar opposites, hot and cold, enveloped his brain. The strange force was like a ghost slipping through his pores before violently flooding his internal organs.

Leah Cain shivered all over from the cold, then suddenly felt as if his body was frozen. Then, like a volcano, a searing hot current erupted through his body. The hot and cold air mixed inside him, giving Leah Cain an extremely surreal and painful sensation.

"Aowuuuuu..."

Leah Cain looked like a madman as he screamed madly at the sky. With one hand, he tore off the clothes on his upper body, revealing his strong muscles. Streams of silver light were clearly visible as they wiggled around his naked torso. Purple and red glints reflected from inside. It looked extremely strange.

"I'm going to tear you apart!" Leah Cain roared. The broadsword in his hand had collected every fibre of silver light. He looked at Han Shuo, who happened to be standing indifferently in the air.

The silver halo on the broadsword in Leah Cain's hand suddenly shrank. The silver light faded away and the shiny broadsword didn't reflect a single glimmer in the sunlight. This was extremely strange.

Han Shuo understood that Leah Cain's strength was indeed extraordinary after exchanging blows with him. He hadn't gained any advantage even after using the full power of the Bloodlust Realm. If it hadn't been for the Mystical Glacial Spellfire with the property of both fire and ice that had invaded his body, Leah Cain wouldn't have felt so miserable after the attack.

Han Shuo dived down, pouring magical yuan into the Demon Slayer's edge despite his numb hands. Just as he was concentrating his power and waiting for the chance to strike a fatal blow, Han Shuo noticed that the light from Leah Cain's broadsword had suddenly disappeared. Han Shuo's instincts sensed a grave danger. Once again, his extraordinary senses were at work. Han Shuo immediately contacted the three Yin Demons. Just as the broadsword in Leah Cain's hand trembled, Han Shuo suddenly split into four clones and landed in four directions.

At the same time, the previously dull broadsword suddenly burst into a blaze of light. Icy needles as sharp as needles shot into the sky in a drizzle, covering an area of about five metres. In addition to its intensity, this attack also had a terrifying penetrating ability. It pierced the sky before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

A Yin Demon had transformed into a clone to replace Han Shuo where he'd just stood. As the icy needles pierced through this area, the invisible Yin Demon was also penetrated by a strange force. The violent combat aura had coalesced into tiny shapes that unexpectedly possessed a particularly destructive force on the Yin Demon. The Yin Demon was pierced like a beehive, and its presence faded to the extreme.

"What a terrifying attack!" Han Shuo couldn't stop feeling horrified after landing.

Leah Cain was indeed terrifying. He was able to concentrate his combat aura into such a small and intense form. When the combat aura was condensed into thousands of icy needles, the destructive power hidden in those needles actually increased by a hundred times. Even an immaterial being like the Yin Demon had been injured by this attack. Han Shuo felt that if he hadn't reacted quickly enough and replaced his body, he would definitely have been reduced to a tattered mess.

While Han Shuo was shocked by Leah Cain's attack, Leah Cain, the attacker himself, was even more disbelieving. He had never expected Han Shuo to dodge his attack.

Han Shuo's four clones landed on the flat ground. The three figures transformed by the Yin Demons slowly faded like a reflection on a lake hit by a stone. The shadows twisted and swayed for a bit before disappearing, leaving only one Han Shuo behind Leah Cain.

"Too powerful!"

"Woah! What was that just now? A rain of swords? So overwhelming! I didn't think that ugly guy could produce such a beautiful attack!"

"Bryan was the formidable one here. Unless I'm mistaken, there were four Bryans just now. My goodness, truly miraculous!"

"You didn't see wrong. I also saw four Bryans. What kind of power is that? It's really too powerful!"

After a moment of silence, the entire audience erupted into a roar. All the watching nobles and their followers were discussing in surprise. Their faces were full of shock and excitement after seeing the amazing performance earlier.

"What, what's going on?" Candide's expression was also one of disbelief on the high platform. He exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the distant Leah Cain and Han Shuo.

"This Leah Cain is truly terrifying. According to Dark Mantle's intelligence, in his fights over the past few years, he always used that rainbow silver sword aura to gain an advantage before defeating his opponents. It seemed that his trademark was the attack he'd just used, the dense drizzle of ice needles. I could feel the destructive power within. I really didn't expect this crude, mindless looking Leah Cain to hide such a sinister and meticulous skill. A truly terrifying person!

Sighing in astonishment, Amyes paused for a moment and exclaimed excitedly, "Candide, your Bryan is even more magical. There's almost no way to dodge that attack, yet he used such a miraculous skill to instantly split into four and escape the area of attack. What an incredible boy!"

"Of course, why else would I put so much effort into him?" Candide was secretly astonished, but still replied smugly after hearing Amyes' words.

The surrounding area was filled with a mix of endless discussion and loud noise. With this level of excitement from the audience, it was likely that the discussion would only stop when the two fighters resumed their battle.

Leah Cain and Han Shuo now had a certain understanding of their opponent's strength after such an intense exchange. The originally confident Han Shuo had to tread more carefully, and the dismissive Leah Cain had to put aside his arrogance and treat Han Shuo as his most powerful opponent yet.

The two of them were standing about fifteen metres apart at the moment. Leah Cain stood on the ground once again, panting slightly as he glared at Han Shuo.

The two men just stood there, staring at each other without saying a word. After a span of ten breaths, Han Shuo's lips curled into a grin,

"Leah Cain, you will undoubtedly die today. Your attack just now was truly very powerful. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to accumulate and it also consumes a lot of combat aura, doesn't it?"

Leah Cain immediately turned pale with shock when he heard Han Shuo's words. It seemed that Han Shuo had found the weak point of this skill!

Han Shuo shot at Leah Cain like a bolt of lightning at that very moment. The Demonslayer Edge flew one step ahead like a snake baring its fangs and biting its prey. As Leah Cain used his broadsword to block, the Demonslayer Edge would circle around to attack from another side.

Han Shuo also rushed towards Leah Cain, but he didn't attack like the Demonslayer Edge. Instead, he flew up into the air and leisurely pulled out the white bone staff, his mouth beginning to chant an incantation. As the canopy of necromancy blotted out the sunlight, two evil knights, leading a troop of dark creatures, appeared one by one on the lawn and surrounded Leah Cain tightly.

Two evil knights, five hate warriors, twenty zombies, seventy skeleton warriors and two teams of thirty gargoyles each had appeared. Leah Cain was caught by the Demonslayer's Edge and could only stare dumbly at the materialising dark creatures that surrounded him.

"Leah Cain is finished!" Amyes said gracefully, before looking at Candide with a smile and adding, "Let's go, we'll meet His Majesty together. His Majesty will definitely make the right decision with Bryan's value. Hehe, that Lawrence boy's luck isn't bad at all, we should get closer to him!"

"That's right!" Candide nodded before drifting off with Amyes in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

The two had not yet completely cleared the area when Leah Cain's tragic wailing echoed throughout the Garden House area.

Lurking underground, the Earth Elite Zombie had latched onto Leah Cain's ankles. The humble little skeleton had then ambushed Leah Cain, inflicting grievous wounds. The two evil knights then trampled him to death. Finally, over a hundred dark creatures rushed in and tore him apart. There wasn't a single bone left.
