Chapter 536: Haoyue’s Armor Transformation, Double Divine Swords (II)

From another point of view, as the Scion of Light, a god’s chosen one, it would rather be unnatural if Long Haochen hadn’t made such qualitative progress after undergoing a year and a half of cultivation. Of course, he was still only able to confront a lower ranked demon god for now, don’t forget that he’s only twenty!

After Haoyue and Long Haochen calmed down, a thought was spread by the former to Long Haochen’s mind.

Haochen shook his head, “This won’t do. The time hasn’t come yet, the risk of exposing ourselves is too great. And besides, the other demon gods are still keeping watch, so we cannot be so impetuous. Don’t worry, there will be a time to show your great skills.”

Haoyue was suggesting he go for the demon god pillars. Now, two of the eight located outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass had already lost their owners, making this the best opportunity to destroy them. But even without this suggestion, it wasn’t as if Long Haochen didn’t have such ideas. There were only seventy-two demon gods, among whom the Snake Demon God had already been annihilated. One could say that every terminated demon god would shake a part of the demons’ foundation.

But Long Haochen still didn’t lose his reason. Thinking about the atrocious scene of the state the Exorcist Mountain Pass was in when he first came, he didn’t dare act rashly. Otherwise, this will only inform the Demon God Emperor of his and Haoyue’s appearance here, resulting in a large scale invasion. How could the assassins’ side resist the Demon God Emperor? At that time, the whole Exorcist City was at risk of destruction, and the Assassin Temple might even be annihilated as a result. Although he didn’t know why the three greatest demon powerhouses still had yet to appear, this at least made the Temple Alliance able to bear the situation for the time being. Perhaps the Demon God Emperor was afraid of an outcome of mutual destruction.

For this reason, despite having killed two demon gods, their pillars couldn’t be targeted rashly. Long Haochen definitely couldn’t let his status be leaked out.

With a smile, he said to Cai’er, “We’ll have to return as fast as possible after we recover our spiritual energy, or great-grandfather-in-law will worry.”

Haoyue didn’t remain here and transported himself to his original world. His ability seemed to have strengthened greatly, and Long Haochen could faintly sense that Haoyue had reached another bottleneck, which could be broken through at anytime. His massive body was clearly swollen in places. If he were to evolve once again, what kind of abilities would it result in?

Thinking about this point, Long Haochen couldn’t help but show some expectations. With Haoyue’s ability to destroy demon god pillars, the growth of his strength made their future prospects all the greater.

To the demon side, the death of the Goblin Knight Seere was a huge blow.

In the main demon tent, six individuals had different looks, but all of them had a grave expression with the imposing manners of demon gods, and the whole tent let out an incomparably pressuring atmosphere.

“We absolutely can’t let it pass.” A furious shout cut the silence in the tent.

The one who spoke was a tall, winged, cow-horned individual with a very strong build. That was the Winged Ox Demon Sagan.

And his fury was to be expected. Over the past years, Allocer, Seere and him were keeping watch on the Exorcist Mountain Pass together, but now that Allocer and Seere were dead, how could he have no feelings of sympathy for them?

Hearing him, the other demon gods showed different reactions. Among the six demon gods, the one sitting at the head of the group had the appearance of a human girl of extreme beauty.

She was clad in a long pink colored skirt, had pink colored hair as well as a pair of mystifying pink eyes. Her skin was fair white, and her beauty reached an extreme level. In contrast, her temper looked extremely fiery, reaching above 1.8 meters in size. If placed amongst human girls, she would definitely stand out. And concealing her chest was very little cloth, revealing a deep ravine in between. That towering pair seemed as if it could break her clothes at anytime.

If one were to pay careful attention, he’d notice that the other demon gods didn’t dare cross eyes with her, and didn’t even dare look at her for long.

That was the twelfth ranked demon god Sytry. The demon gods’ rankings were of extreme importance, and being the twelfth ranked, her strength was obvious. She also stood as the commander of the demon forces standing outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, and every one of the demon gods present here were listening to her arrangements. Despite having the outside appearance of a mere girl, none of the demon gods doubted her ability.

Sytry had a very grave and stern expression, giving off a cool elegance. Her look swept over to the Winged-Ox Demon Sagan.

At her look, his previously extreme rage immediately ceased.

Sytry indifferently spoke out, “Say something, the rest of you. What are your views?”

“I agree with Sagan. We cannot let it pass like that. The humans dared raid us: if we don’t give them a thorough lesson, wouldn’t they just keep becoming more rampant? After both Allocer and Seere died, if we can’t make some contributions to make up for it, His Majesty’s blame isn’t something any one of us could bear.”

The one speaking was a slightly-built man-shaped demon god surrounded by a black shadow. Long Haochen and Cai’er should recognize him, because he had appeared alongside Allocer around the city walls to surprise attack Cai’er.

However, the final outcome of this was the worst possible. It resulted only in the death of the Blazing Lion Demon God outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

It was the 45th ranked demon god, leading the Invisible Demons of the Dyke Clan, Invisible Demon God Vine.

Sytry narrowed her eyes and asked, “Have the counts of the deceased come out?”

“They have.” Sagan immediately continued, “The casualties are heavy. 1,400 individuals at the sixth step or above died. And below that, the casualties are also above 3,000.”

Even for the demons who had an overwhelming number of powerhouses, these casualties were really massive, especially since the ones concerned were demons of the sixth step and above, which couldn’t be cultivated with a flip of a hand.

Hearing this, Sytry’s eyes immediately flashed with a fierce glint. As she slowly got up, her enormous bosom swayed.

“Tomorrow, launch a strong attack at dawn. This time, we won’t stop until we break through the Exorcist Mountain Pass.”

She was also extremely furious. Although she wasn’t willing to admit it, the Invisible Demon God Vine was right. They would hardly be able to account for the death of two demon gods. Ever since the start of the Holy War, this was the first time demon gods were amongst the casualties.

“Shouldn’t we discuss it a little more, Sytry?” A tall demon sitting on one side remaked, “His Majesty wanted us deplete the human force through continuous battle, and refrain from breaking through the mountain pass.”

Sytry swept a cold gaze, “What? Do you have an objection?”

That demon god immediately shivered, then lowered his head and turned silent.

For her to be in command of the whole demon forces threatening the Exorcist Mountain Pass, it was impossible for Sytry to have no way to suppress the other demon gods.

“Act according to my plans.”

“Yes!” The other demon gods stood one after another, before turning around to leave the tent.

Exorcist Mountain Pass.

Sheng Yue’s anxiety finally eased, as Long Haochen and Cai’er were finally back.

This operation could only be said to have come out as a success for the Exorcist Mountain Pass. Although a few heroic grade assassins died, the damage they inflicted on the enemy was even more severe. At least a fifth of their powerhouses of the sixth step or above had died in this attack. Furthermore, though he didn’t see what happened on Long Haochen and Cai’er’s side, the loss of glow from Seere’s demon god pillar was something their side had noticed.

Could Long Haochen really have killed a demon god? Sheng Yue didn’t dare believe that. Regardless of the rest, Long Haochen was only a cultivator at the eighth step. But it wasn’t impossible either: he had personally viewed the great power that Long Haochen’s forbidden spell wielded. Obviously, he could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary powerhouse of the eighth step.

Immediately after recovering some spiritual energy in the Tower of Eternity, the two of them returned to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. After coming out of nowhere, they immediately concealed their presence. Cai’er naturally went invisible, and Long Haochen was clad in the cloak he had prepared long ago. His mental force was surrounding his body, masking his presence. Then Cai’er just grabbed his hand to fly away together, a great benefit of having a comrade alongside. Otherwise, Long Haochen would have had to think of a way to return from the surface, for the sake of concealing his identity.

“Did you really kill Seere?” Sheng Yue had his eyes wide open as he asked Long Haochen and Cai’er.

Cai’er stuck out her tongue, then stepped back and pointed at Long Haochen without the slightest comradeship, “He’s the one who’s planned everything, and also the main instigator. I only attacked once.”

Sheng Yue immediately glanced at him. And this was not only the case for him, but also the other powerhouses of the ninth step and Heroic Assassins were still beside him.

After they returned, they immediately gathered, and because Long Haochen and Cai’er had yet to be back, Sheng Yue didn’t let them disperse so fast. He wanted to wait for Long Haochen and Cai’er’s news, and if it had taken too long, maybe they would have returned to the demon camp in search for the two of them.

Long Haochen nodded, “We were quite lucky. Seere is the seventieth ranked demon god, a rather weak one, in addition to having fallen for our ambush. We succeeded in killing him, and his Demon God Crown was swallowed by my magical beast companion.”

The magical beast companion he was speaking about was Haoyue, but of course, the assassin powerhouses present thought this was about Star King.

Hearing his explanation which couldn’t be formulated more simply than that, the higher-ups of the Assassin Temple looked at each other in dismay, totally devoid of words.

The Goblin Knight Demon God was easy to handle just because of being low ranked? It wasn’t for only one day or two that they’d had dealings with these demon gods. Relying on the boost from his demon god pillar, Seere’s fighting strength reached the ninth step, and he had a few special abilities serving as means of survival. Even these assassins with extreme burst power hadn’t managed to kill him even after so many years, yet Long Haochen made it sound so simple. The question was, just how did he succeed?
