Chapter 807: Yue Ye and Ah’Bao Arriving One after Another (III)

“I’ve been waiting a very long time for you.”

Long Haochen looked at Ah’Bao approach him as he smiled. He did not speak loudly, but every single imperial guard heard it clearly.

Ah’Bao stopped two hundred meters away from Long Haochen. His calmness from before had completely vanished. He clenched his fists to the point where they crackled. His muscles and skeleton frame seemed like they were about to expand.

“It’s been five years since we last met. Have you been well, your highness?” Long Haochen sat on the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. He showed no intention of getting up.

“Well? I’ve been very well, all thanks to you.” Ah’Bao’s voice was serious and cold. Purplish black light constantly gathered behind his back and surging in the shape of a fan. This was his powerful fighting intent.

Long Haochen smiled indifferently, “I understand that you were unwilling to accept your loss back then. Today, I will make you convinced with your loss.”

Ah’Bao said coldly, “I don’t understand why father treats you with so much importance. However, I do believe that if I return with your corpse, he will be very happy.”

Long Haochen said, “The Demon God Emperor’s already killed me once. If you really do have the ability, then please attempt so.”

Purple light lit up in Ah’Bao’s eyes. Just when he was about to launch an attack, Huang Shuo stood in his way.

“Move,” Ah’Bao roared out.

Huang Shuo said sternly, “Your highness, he’s definitely not the only one here. Don’t fall for this. We still don’t know where the hidden assassin is. We have to handle this carefully. His majesty has mentioned that we don’t have to engage in a battle at full power if we encounter Long Haochen. We just need to keep him busy and our mission will be complete.”

“Move,” Ah’Bao’s cold voice rang out once more. This time, he gave off a terrifying pressure, while the purplish dark light on his back condensed into a huge, purplish black dragon head.

Huang Shuo’s expression changed drastically and he instinctively dodged to one side.

Ah’Bao did not charge towards Long Haochen immediately. He stared at the person he had deemed as his greater opponent in his life and said sternly, “Long Haochen, it’s been five years. We’ve met once again today. I do know that your Bright Glimmer of Hope must be nearby. However, this is a battle between you and me. Are you bold enough to accept me challenge?”

Long Haochen finally stood up from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. He looked at Ah’Bao and nodded seriously, “You’re right. This is our battle. One against one.”

“One against one,” Ah’Bao roared out and his body immediately swelled. In the blink of an eye, he had reached over three meters tall. As his body grew in size, the natural dragon armour on his rapidly grew as well. Purplish black spikes extended from his joints as the two horns on his head gained circular ridges.

A purplish red ring of light appeared below Ah’Bao. His aura immediately shot to his peak as the powerful pressure forced the Black Demon guard to retreat by several dozen meters instinctively. They feared Ah’Bao’s aura as a member of the imperial clan of the Devil Dragons the most.

It was also at this moment, that figures appeared once after another in different locations. They were all a thousand meters away from here, totalling to nine people. They surrounded the place in a circle.

Huang Shuo saw Cai’er who wielded the Sickle of the God of Death with a single glance.

Was it her? Was the assassin earlier her? As the commander of the imperial Black Dragon guard, not only was Huang Shuo the Demon God Emperor’s most trusted clansman, he was also the strongest powerhouse within the imperial guards. His senses were similarly powerful. With just a glance around the surroundings, he immediately sensed who was the strongest out of the Bright Glimmer of Hope. Cai’er’s cultivation was clearly no weaker than his. It was very likely for her to have broken through to the fifth rank of the ninth step, while she also happened to be an assassin!

“Two against one. Do it,” Huang Shuo bellowed, giving the orders to attack.

The Bright Glimmer of Hope had grown in size, but this instead made Huang Shuo relax. The upper echelon of the demons already knew about Long Haochen and his Bright Glimmer of Hope’s performance at the Temples’ Great Gathering. That was why the Bright Glimmer of Hope had been deemed their most powerful enemies, so Huang Shuo obviously knew about them. Now that the Bright Glimmer of Hope had all appeared and Long Haochen had expressed he could fight the crown prince alone, he obviously would not let this opportunity slip to deal with the Bright Glimmer of Hope. However, just in case, he himself did not fight, watching over Ah’Bao nearby.

The eighteen imperial guards turned into eighteen streaks of black light and shot off in nine different directions. They moved like lightning. As they flew, they also swelled in size and all of them now wielded a weapon in their hands. It was all epic tier equipment of the darkness element.

The nine members of the Bright Glimmer of Hope basically all chose to turn around and flee without any hesitation, immediately pulling away from Long Haochen.

“Huh?” Huang Shuo’s heart suddenly lurched. Was this thinning their forces so they could be defeated easier? However, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass only had a few divine knights that could pose a threat to them aside from Long Haochen’s squad, and that was only when they were paired once against one. However, would they come here? No, they definitely would not. The Knight Temple would definitely keep its divine knights to watch over the fort.

Huang Shuo’s level-headedness made him change the order. He ordered all of the imperial guards to pursue their opponents only to a certain range, to not exceed fifty kilometers away. Once they encountered any powerful enemies, they were to immediately signal for reinforcements.

Just when he arranged this, Huang Shuo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He basically charged forwards without any hesitation at all while quickly turning around. He lifted his right hand and an ink-black blade slashed down behind him, like it could cut through air.

A speck of black light appeared in the air silently as well, landing perfectly on the edge of his black.

Ding! With that, Huang Shuo felt like he had been struck by lightning. His entire body quivered. He only felt an icy-cold aura enter his body through his weapon.

Even though his blade was a treasure and filtered away most of the aura, the coldness still reached his body, before immediately erupted.

Killing intent. Could this assassin force killing intent into my body?

When Huang Shuo paled in fright, he released his domain as well.

As the greatest powerhouse of the imperial Black Dragon guards, his control over his domain was outstanding. He did not let his domain expand, instead forming a black barrier around him.

The black barrier was like an eggshell made of black crystal, guarding Huang Shuo. However, after the speck of black light had launched the attack, it vanished into the air quietly once more.

Huang Shuo’s forehead became covered in perspiration. It was not Cai’er. The assassin just then definitely was not Cai’er who had lead his clansmen away, but it was definitely the one who had killed his clansman instantly.

Her assassination was just too terrifying. If Huang Shuo had not charged forward immediately out of pure reflex, the sneak attack would have succeeded.

But even with that being the case, the cold killing intent continued to wreak havoc in his body, not just originating from his blade, but also from the back of his head. Only after he had expanded his domain did he feel a cold sensation from the back of his head. Clearly, he would have been dead for sure if he was just slightly slower.

What terrified him the most was the assassin’s mysteriousness. They would never stay put after a single strike, without launching continuous attacks and instead seemingly vanishing into thin air. He was unable to sense the assassin’s location at all. How could he not be on edge against an opponent like that? In that moment, he could no longer care about his eighteen clansmen. He concentrated on sensing everything that went on around him and constantly moved about, afraid the assassin would launch another attack. No matter what, his life was most important at the end of the day.

Long Haochen and Ah’Bao’s battle had unfolded long before Huang Shuo had been attacked.

A huge, purple sword appeared in Ah’Bao’s hand. His sword seemed extremely special, because the light it shone with changed in gradient, a kind that Long Haochen had never seen.

It was purple that changed in gradient.

It would not have been that obvious if the gradient of purple grew lighter the futher out it was. However, it was the exact opposite. The colour of the sword grew deeper towards the end, which made it stand out. At the same time, it made it seem stunning.

The purple sword produced a streak of beautiful in the light, before vanishing in the next instant. Ah’Bao had already appeared behind Long Haochen.

Only then did a string of clangs ring out in the air.

“What speed!” Long Haochen was surprised. With Yue Ye’s warning, he had already assumed Ah’Bao to be very powerful, but he had never thought that Ah’Bao would reach such a level in strength. In the moment Ah’Bao had moved with a flash, green light had already emerged from Long Haochen’s chest. The green light directly drew Long Haochen’s Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in front of his body, which was why he could block Ah’Bao’s attack. Otherwise, Long Haochen would had suffered slightly from the strike even if he could block it having been caught by surprise.

The aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation immediately erupted, forcing Ah’Bao to a halt when he was about to launch another attack. Afterwards, he saw thirteen balls of light immediately fuse with Long Haochen.

Clad in the Armour of Eternity, a Sword of Eternity had appeared in Long Haochen’s hand.

Three balls of light slowly revolved around him. The dragon’s head and twelve-winged angel both lit up, as if they were glaring at Ah’Bao.

“Is this the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation?” Ah’Bao asked coldly.

Long Haochen nodded, “Looks like you really have improved drastically from a few years ago. If I’ve checked correctly, your cultivation’s already reached the fourth rank of the ninth step. And, your body’s also at the fourth rank of the ninth step. Only you Devil Dragons can achieve something like that.”
