Great Demon King - Chapter 782

Chapter 782
GDK 782: Nobody will speak a word of it





Han Shuo and Rose coldly observed the battle while standing in their escape routes . Han Shuo also placed several demon generals in concealed spots . If the two were to utilize special methods to escape, the demon generals would swarm at them and cease their actions . Han Shuo and Rose also deployed multiple barriers as they observed the battle .

The two highgod assassins revealed desperation in their eyes . They knew that they will not escape death and so they tried to cause the greatest harm with their deaths . They used all the remaining energy in their bodies to push forward and get close to the divine guards as though they were planning to severely injure the divine guards .

The divine guards, knowing that the two assassins were highgods, dared not be in close proximity to them . The divine guards would immediately launch ranged attacks at the two to push them back when they tried to close the distance . The assassins’ patience and divine energy were being worn down . Over time, under the bombardment of almost a hundred divine guards, the two highgods were close to exhausting their divine energy .

Other than Han Shuo and Rose, Bollands too did not participate in the fight . He was guiding the divine guards on how to most effectively besiege a powerful expert as a team . The divine guards who had practiced the art of fighting as a team in the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation launched densely gathered attacks that does not miss a single spot of the highgods’ defenses, exerting the maximum amount of pressure on the two highgods .

For the two highgods, that was the most humiliating moment they had ever experienced in their whole lives . They had tried to assemble their energy to escape at the cost of severely injuring themselves or causing their realms to regress . But every time they attempted so, it would be disrupted and ceased by the demon generals . After repeating the process several times, the two finally realized that their deaths were certain .

With Han Shuo and Rose deploying barriers, the two assassins could not even get close enough to the divine guards and injure them through self-implosion . Two proud highgods were reduced into puny living targets for Han Shuo’s little combat training exercise . With all hope for survival lost, the two assassins finally could not bear the humiliation any longer .

The two assassins dropped every defense and allowed the divine energy and divine weapons of the divine guards to land on their bodies . The energies and weapons wrecked their bodies that were nearly exhausted of divine energies without much resistance . They collapsed into a pool of blood and perished .

Cauldron Spirit quickly flew out and happily collected the two divine souls . As the number of demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon increased, as more high-quality souls were added to the collection, the Cauldron became more powerful . Han Shuo could sense it clearly every time he borrowed Cauldron Spirit’s energy .






To Han Shuo, the Cauldron becoming stronger is tantamount to him getting more powerful . Therefore, Han Shuo would always do his best to help Cauldron Spirit collect as many divine souls as possible .

“What? They died just like that!” shouted Barnard in an annoyed voice . It seemed that the fun ended too soon for him .

Barnard’s comrades also felt the same . They did not expect that the two assassins would just give up their lives right when they were enjoying it the most . They thought the fun would last much longer .

After the Cauldron of Myriad Demon collected the two highgod souls, Bollands stepped forward and went to the bodies . He lifted their masks and carefully looked at their faces . A moment later, Bollands got up, turned to Han Shuo and shook his head gravely . “Senior, I do not know these faces!”

Bollands had served in Erebus’ Third Corps for many years and was very familiar with members of all large family clans in the City of Shadows . Through various covert and non-covert methods, Bollands had met and seen characters that even Han Shuo had not met . Highgods were the rarest and smallest class of people in every City . If the two assassins originated from the City of Shadows, it would be impossible for Bollands to not recognize them .

Therefore, hearing Bollands’ words, Han Shuo was certain that the assassins originated from another city . Han Shuo carefully thought about it . Other than Hushveil City, Han Shuo had offended Portlem who was outside of the Darkness Dominion . He wondered if either one of them could be behind the attack .

Han Shuo bunched his brows as he thought about it deeply After a while, he looked all around and instructed his divine guards, “Speak of this incident to no one until I get to the bottom of it . ” After a short pause, Han Shuo added, “This includes those from the House of Sainte!”





Five highgods had come to assassinate him and could afford three deaths . This likely meant that Han Shuo had offended a very formidable powerhouse .

Han Shuo was currently a high-ranking official in the City of Shadows . If Wallace and Andre were to learn of the incident, the two will surely start their own investigation which meant that he would be asked about all the details . They might inadvertently reveal Han Shuo’s astonishing strength to others . Other concerns aside, Han Shuo did not want the public to learn of his true strength until the competition between the Divine Guard Chiefs begins .

After fighting off the highgod assassins, all the divine guards in the Fifth Corps became fully convinced of Han Shuo . Not a single one of them had any doubt about Han Shuo’s capability . Their gazes towards Han Shuo were filled only with reverence and respect .

Therefore, after Han Shuo finished those words, the less than one hundred divine guards respectfully replied affirmatively in unison . None of them had another opinion .

On Elysium, cultivation and strength were all that mattered . A great majority of its inhabitants made improving their strength their top priority . This was also why everyone on Elysium worshipped the strong . They had nothing but admiration for true experts . After Han Shuo demonstrated his formidable might by killing a highgod effortlessly, these unbridled divine guards of the Fifth Corps turned extremely compliant to Han Shuo . They genuinely approved of Han Shuo as their new Divine Guard Chief .

“Rest assured, my Lord! Nobody will speak a word of it!” pledged Barnard with veneration that came from the bottom of his heart and admiration shining in his eyes .

Han Shuo nodded and said, “Excellent . As long as you do exactly as I commanded, none of us will land in trouble . ” Han Shuo then looked around and smilingly said, “Alright . I reckon that those two who escaped won’t be returning . We will continue our march towards Soaring Cloud Mountain Range . ”

“Senior, I think we are no longer in any danger . Can they resume practicing stalking and tracking?” asked Bollands respectfully after bowing at Han Shuo .





“Yep, go ahead,” Han Shuo too did not think that the two escaped assassins will threaten them anymore and therefore straightforwardly agreed .

After Bollands led the divine guards away to continue with all sorts of training and exercises, Han Shuo turned to Rose and instructed, “Let no one disturb me . ”

Rose was puzzled . She had no idea why would Han Shuo give her such a command in all of a sudden . However, Rose did not ask any questions but nodded . Although the relationship between Han Shuo and Rose had long improved, Rose was still as quiet as always . She normally does not speak unless Han Shuo asked her a question . She rarely starts a conversation with Han Shuo .

After giving the instruction, Han Shuo sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes . With one thought of his consciousness, a demon general refined from highgod soul flew away from Han Shuo at extreme speed . It headed north .

Han Shuo had applied some demonic yuan on the demon general of the highest grade . Therefore, when Han Shuo concentrated his attention and commanded it to fly, the demon general in immaterial state flew much faster than usual . In fact, it was traveling at a speed faster than Han Shuo’s Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens boosted with Cauldron Spirit’s energy .

Demon generals were immaterial and gravity has no effect on them and they could therefore travel ridiculously fast . This demon general, having received a boost of Han Shuo’s demonic yuan, could travel at an even higher speed .

Moments ago, when fighting off the assassins, Han Shuo had left a drop of his blood essence on the shortie’s armor . Han Shuo had a miraculous connection with his blood essences . Even though the shortie had managed rip a tunnel to another dimension using a miraculous space edict divine weapon and escaped, as the shortie carried a drop of Han Shuo’s blood essence with him, Han Shuo could get a rough approximation of his location when he completely focused his mind to sense it .

Han Shuo could sense that the two escaped assassins were extremely far away and were still moving away at high speed . Han Shuo did not pursue them because he reckoned that he might not be able to overtake the two even if he went after them with all his strength . But more importantly, he had a responsibility to keep his company of divine guards safe . He was worried that the divine guards might run into another danger and couldn’t handle it by themselves .

Therefore, Han Shuo stayed with his divine guards and sent the most demon general he had, a spirit demon, to probe the situation for him . He wasn’t hoping that the spirit demon could harm the two assassins but he wanted the spirit demon to reveal the identities of this anonymous enemy of his . Once Han Shuo knew who he was up against, he would have a general idea of how to get ready for them or even eliminate the threat when the opportunity comes .

To the spirit demon that had pushed its speed to the maximum, time seemed to have slowed down . Its immaterial body made minute and faint waves in the atmosphere as it streaked through the sky and towards the region Han Shuo instructed .

About half an hour later, Han Shuo gave a command with his consciousness and the ultra-fast moving spirit demon slowed down . It started approaching the region ahead cautiously .

Han Shuo saw two figures that were flying at high speed . One of the figures was short and small and wore gloves dotted with starlight speckles . Without thinking, Han Shuo knew that they were the two assassins who escaped . The two were rushing ahead and had absolutely no clue that an invisible pair of eyes was following and watching them from some distance behind .

The spirit demon followed them for around ten minutes before the two assassins suddenly slowed down . They suddenly swerved and stopped before a cave mouth covered with crushed stones and branches of leaves . The shortie made a light cough .

Several dark figures slowed appeared from the cave . As they walked out of the cave, their faces grew clearer . One of them was Dolores who had disappeared for a long time . He put on an elated expression after exiting the cave and asked, “Patriarch, is it a success?”

The assassins finally removed their masks . The taller one was revealed to the Felder, the patriarch of the House of Lavers . He wore a gloomy face as he replied, “We failed . We are the only survivors . ” Felder then turned to Lakrisen who had also removed his mask and said in a heavy voice, “Lord Lakrisen, I’m sorry for losing three capable helpers of yours . ”

Lakrisen was wearing a bitter and resentful face . He coldly said, “Three highgods have perished . How am I going to justify the losses to my elder brother?!”

Lakrisen at this moment was as though a volcano on the brink of eruption . Felder did not know how to answer him . He merely let out a helpless sigh and kept silent .

Lakrisen gave a glance at Felder with cold eyes before he let out a cold groan and said, “We will return to the City of Gorging Clouds and settle things there!” and immediately departed . Felder let out another soft sigh before taking Dolores and the others to follow behind Lakrisen .
