Polo did not expect that Han Hao would suddenly appear on the battlefield at this moment . He was astounded . Wearing an astonished expression, he asked, “Why are you here?”
There was not a shred of emotion on Han Hao’s face . His eyes were staring fixedly on Kage as though he was not surrounded in a chaotic battle scene . He replied, “Same as you - to kill!”
Polo stared blankly at Han Hao for a moment before he suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Well then, by all means, please proceed - he’s all yours . That’d save me some energy . ”
As if Kage wasn’t already troubled enough by Polo, Han Hao had suddenly appeared to give him a bigger headache . Kage looked at Han Hao puzzlingly . He looked back in his memories and was certain that he had never met Han Hao before . “Who are you? I don’t remember meeting you . You are not one of my rivals . ”
“You have recently raided a caravan carrying ores and minerals and slaughtered a bunch of them, did you?” asked Han Hao in a cold voice instead of immediately attacking Kage .
Polo’s followers were still attacking Kage’s . Soon, several more of Kage’s followers died by having their divine energy sucked dry . The godhunters’ made wild, loud battle cries as they flew all around, intercepting their victims who were trying to escape .
Kage felt more and more worried and for the first time in a long time, he felt regretful . His followers were being brutally murdered but he did not know how to handle the situation . It was obvious that Polo wouldn’t have attempted the assassination without bringing forces of much greater strength and quantity than that of Kage’s . He knew that escape would be very difficult .
“That’s right, I plundered a batch of ores not too long ago,” Kage did not deny the accusation, “But what has that got to do with you? You sure weren’t there at that time . The only person that escaped wasn’t as powerful as you . ”
Han Hao nodded and replied, “The one who escaped is my friend . I’m here to chop your head off and bring it to him . ”
“Ha, boastful big talk . You really think that you can stop me?” shouted Kage . He glanced at Polo and Han Hao with his cold eyes as he said, “How foolish of you to think that you can kill me . Humph, I still have more followers at my base . Once I assembled all my followers, you will know the consequences of offending Sovereign Salas and me!”
“Be careful, Han Hao . He might try to escape by some special means!” shouted Polo .
By now, most of Kage’s followers had been killed . Against two formidable experts that were Polo and Han Hao, Kage knew that it was impossible to fight his way out and that he must abandon his followers .
Kage knew that as long as he is alive, there is hope for recovery . Upon finishing his words, Kage took out a wind energy divine equipment that Salas had bestowed upon him - Wind Lace, and tried to leave the battlefield as soon as possible .
The seven bone spurs on Han Hao’s back suddenly whooshed out following his thought . Before Kage could activate the Wind Lace, the seven bone spurs had zipped through the air and arrived before him . Meanwhile, Han Hao, wielding his three-meter long bone spear, was rapidly shooting towards Kage like a fiend .
Right when the Wind Lace was ready to be activated, Kage discovered that seven dreadful energies had surrounded him, blocking him from escaping . An extremely bizarre boundary abruptly formed around him . Air and wind had stopped circulating within the boundary .
Kage was appalled . He realized that it was not possible to utilize the Wind Lace inside the bizarre boundary .
With the seven bone spurs starting to attack him, Kage had no choice but to put up defenses and temporarily postponed his plan to escape . He took out a dark shield and as soon as he raised it, intense element of darkness gushed out from it . They formed a large mass of dark clouds and enveloped him .
Just like Rose, Kage possessed mid-stage highgod strength in the energy of darkness . A character of his strength was considered pretty formidable among the average Fringedwellers . However, against Han Hao who dual-cultivated in the element of death and demonic arts, Kage stood little to no chance of winning .
Kage felt as though the outcome of the battle had been decided ever since he was enveloped by the bizarre energy-field generated by the seven bone spurs . When Han Hao reached Kage, he was bombarded with an even more powerful wave of ferocious attacks .
Including the bone spear in Han Hao’s hand, the altogether eight bone spurs whooshed all around under the control of demonic arts . They flew erratically and every one of them carried the power to kill . They were rapidly dismantling the defenses Kage deployed using his darkness divine energy .
Kage tried ramming in every direction but realized that he could not free himself from the eight bone spurs . Since the start of the battle, Kage could only take defensive measures . Although he had the Wind Lace, he was not able to use it .
Although Polo was well acquainted with Han Hao, he did not have the chance to witness Han Hao attacking a person . Therefore, Polo at this moment had his full attention on the callous-looking Han Hao . After observing Han Hao with glistening eyes for a moment, he was yet again shocked .
Even since Han Hao joined the Godhunter Alliance, many had been trying to guess his actual strength . At first, Han Hao was only barely able to defeat a midgod . But then, one day, Han Hao managed to kill a highgod . This caused everyone to re-evaluate their judgement .
The main reason that the godhunters were not able to fathom Han Hao’s strength was because he cultivated in demonic arts . By combining the energies of two different universes, Han Hao often could slaughter an expert of greater strength . Polo had heard from various sources that Han Hao was an early-stage highgod of death . After meeting Han Hao several times and having sensed his aura, Polo also thought it to be true .
However, what he saw right now contradicted his belief . Han Hao had demonstrated overwhelming strength against a mid-stage highgod expert . Right from the beginning, Han Hao had been exerting so much pressure on Kage that the latter could not make a single counterattack!
Just how powerful this fella truly is? Polo asked himself as he watched the battle with lights twinkling from his eyes .
Shhhuk!
Finally, the bizarre and unpredictable attacks of the eight bone spurs caught Kage off guard . One of Han Hao’s bone spurs stabbed his shoulder .
Soon after receiving the stab, Kage felt mentally exhausted while the divine energy in his body was circulating uncontrollably like feral horses freed from captivity . A numbing sensation started spreading from the shoulder . Kage turned to look and he discovered that the flesh on his shoulder was slowly rotting away . It looked as though millions of tiny worms were tearing his flesh .
It’s venomous! Kage was greatly alarmed and horrified .
After having fought Han Hao for a while, Kage discovered that the emotionless Han Hao was simply the perfect killing machine that doesn’t make any mistakes . He saw that Han Hao had displayed not a single emotion throughout the battle . He was like a chess grandmaster, calmly and systematically eliminating his opponent’s pieces and pushing them closer and closer to defeat with every move .
Who the hell is this person? Is he even a person? How is it even possible that he doesn’t have the slightest bit of emotion? The fear in Kage’s mind grew as he fought Han Hao .
Han Hao might be slightly better than Han Shuo at understanding and using the Nine Changes realm . Perhaps it was due to the unique circumstances of his genesis, Little Skeleton would not feel the slightest emotion when he fought others . This allowed him to achieve absolute calmness of the heart and soul, entering the optimal realm state every time .
One would be able to fight at his fullest potential if one was able to stay completely calm in a battle and not be affected by the opponent’s provocative languages . Kage came to recognize just how terrifying it was to fight someone who could do so .
Pow! A burst of the aura of death erupted from a bone spur and it slammed Kage, causing him to stagger backward .
The other bone spurs that had been lying in wait suddenly swarmed at him . Three of them broke through Kage’s defenses and pierced his back .
Han Hao suddenly stopped attacking . He looked at the dying Kage and said in an indifferent voice, “Those followers of yours in your underground base - I’ve killed them all . The savings you had - I’ve taken them all!”
When Han Hao finished those words, the three bone spurs stabbing on Kage suddenly turned alive and started boring into his body like worms .
CrackCrack… CrackCrack… Bone-chilling noises started playing from inside Kage . Then, suddenly, blood spurted out from every one of his orifices . He was visibly losing vitality as blood escaped from his body .
The three-meter long bone spear cut across his neck and sent his head spinning into the air . The bone spurs caught the flying severed head and carried it into the glass container that Little Skeleton had prepared .
Splat! Kage’s body that lost it’s head abruptly exploded . The three bone spurs looked as though fed leeches and returned to Han Hao’s spine .
By now, all of Kage’s followers had been killed . Polo and his godhunters were staring foolishly at Han Hao . They had witnessed Han Hao mercilessly murder Kage and saw absolutely no emotion on Han Hao’s face . It was as though Han Hao was so used to doing it that he was numbed by it .
No wonder Chief would value him so highly . This teenager is truly terrifying . He is ruthless and merciless at such a young age, not to mention powerful . He is destined to achieve greatness! thought Kodiak . He suddenly felt that Polo’s judgment power was almost as extraordinary as Han Hao .
“Ermm… Han Hao, I guess I owe you a thank you,” Polo was between laughter and tears . His original plan was to kill Kage and bring his head to Han Hao as a gift . But out of his expectation, Han Hao appeared out of nowhere and killed Kage himself . With that, instead of Han Hao owing Polo a favor, it was Polo who owed Han Hao a favor .
Han Hao turned to look at Polo emotionlessly . He nodded and replied, “You are welcome . You have taken care of Kage’s followers for me . We have the same goal . We don’t owe each other anything . ”
“Well, all right then . ” Polo thought for a moment before he asked, “If Salas investigates Kage’s death, what are you going to do?”
“Just find a few scapegoats nearby and throw their bodies here . Make it look like it was the other four Sovereigns who did it,” Han Hao bunched his brows slightly and continued, “Kage is just an insignificant character . I doubt that Salas cared about him as much as Kage thought he would . ”
Polo nodded, put on a mischievous smile and said, “Indeed, we shall make it so!”
