The Great Demon King

Chapter 78 "Battle of blood in deep passages "

“Close your mouth! Do not make unfounded accusations! I have such a deep relationship with my older brother, how could I possibly kill him? My dear niece, I feel so bad for you because you found a boyfriend who does not understand the principle of modesty! “Grover's face changed drastically when he got up, slammed his hands down on the table and roared furiously.

His expression as usual, Han Shuo lightly laughed and covered up the matter, “Everyone already knows this. Phoebe was the only daughter of a Guildmaster and should be the most qualified candidate to inherit the position of Guildmaster. If he was killed, who would profit? ”

“When is it an outsider's turn to talk about the issue of the Boozt Merchant Union? Phoebe, you have to keep this outsider, who doesn't know what he's talking about, in line. “Grover stared intently at Han Shuo as he turned to talk to Phoebe.

At this moment, Phoebe had already calmed down from her previous panic. He had always maintained a layer of courtesy with Grover, but how could he know that Han Shuo would not hesitate anything and stood in sharp opposition from the start, almost regressing with Grover instantly, making all his plans fall apart? He did not know what to do for a short span of time.

However, just as Han Shuo and Grover denounced each other, Phoebe's mind changed and she felt that Han Shuo's actions were clear and decisive. Because of his actions, his attitude would obviously be displayed in front of the founding elders. It would also show the founding elders that he was not a weak person who was unwilling to fight for his position.

Except, it was time to gauge his gains and losses. Since Han Shuo had already so sharply announced his attitude, there was no way Phoebe could save the situation even if she wanted to. As soon as Grover's words were interrupted, he said confidently, “Indeed, Uncle Grover, I believe that I have the qualifications to become a competent Guildmaster.”

“Although in recent years I have spent My days outside, my father has never let go of his surveillance of Me. The knowledge I have learned is also relevant to operating a Guild. I've been arranging all this for a long time. I hope You can support Me uncle, and teach Me if I am found lacking in every place. I'm sure that I can take good care of the Guild. ”

“Good nephew, your courage is worthy of praise. However, this kind of problem was not a child's play. One misstep was enough to destroy the Guild beyond redemption. Uncle was a coward and was unable to bear such responsibility. ”Because they put it all down, Grover no longer hid and hid his intentions when he spoke with a dark face.

At this moment, Andrew suddenly held onto his cane and stood staggered. He spoke in a conciliatory tone, “There is no point in arguing further. How about this ... why don't we let little Phoebe try first? If the Guild was still developing smoothly in his hands after three months, then let Phoebe become a Guild. If not, Grover will continue to be. What is everyone thinking? ”

Because Andrew had spoken, aside from the three founding elders who supported Grover, all the founding elders expressed their agreement. Andrew waited until they all expressed their opinions before smiling at Grover, saying cheerfully, “Since the majority has already agreed, let's do this to find out. What are you thinking?”

Although he was unwilling, as the majority of the founding elders in the Guild had agreed, Grover had no way of changing the situation. He could only grit his teeth and say resignedly, “Because this is the case, then let's move as you wish.”

Nodding, Andrew smiled, “Then so good. I've got a few things to attend to, so I'll take my leave. Ah, little Phoebe, I haven't seen you for so long. If you have nothing else to do, come to my house to chat! ”

“Sure, I happened to want to ask grandfather about your experience in managing the Guild!” Phoebe smiled faintly and stood up. He lay down a glass of wine, threw a glance at Han Shuo, and walked out even without looking at Grover.

Han Shuo put down his wine glass and flashed a disdainful and cold smile at Grover, who was looking at him coldly. He followed behind Phoebe and headed outside the hall.

After leaving the Guild, Phoebe looked around and saw that it was empty. He said gently to Han Shuo, “Come back to my residence first. I'll hurry back after chatting with Andrew's grandfather. We'll talk later!”

“Heh heh, little Phoebe, your girlfriend is quite brave! He dared to argue with Grover in the hall, I think you're quite considerate! ”Andrew stood at the side of his carriage as he looked at Phoebe and Han Shuo generously.

His flushed face flushed red, Phoebe looked at Han Shuo and whispered, “Be careful.” She then walked up to Andrew and said cutely, “No way. You don't know how frustrating that is because he's sometimes pudding-headed! ”

Han Shuo did not listen to their conversation any longer and did not board the train that had arrived with Phoebe, but instead went to the northern part of the city alone.

Because it was late at night, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street. When Han Shuo had just left the Boozt Merchant Guild, he did not feel that he was in too much danger, but when he passed the street and just walked into the alley, he did not feel that he was in too much danger, he suddenly became alert.

His mind moved as the three original demons slid silently from the back of his neck. When the original demons left Han Shuo's neck, they immediately took the form of nothingness and lay in wait, in three different directions, leaving no trace within the darkness.

As if he was getting an additional pair of eyes, Han Shuo could clearly see not only the direction in front of him, but even the area behind and to his left and right. Purified with the magic yuan, there was not the slightest bit of battle aura or magic pulse from the original demon. Under the status of nothingness, it was quite difficult for the human eye to detect their traces. Thus, the departure and concealment of the original demons did not surprise anyone.

Wind adept magician Ellis, whom Han Shuo saw last time, was floating like a thin ghost behind Han Shuo. He hung without a waiting voice. Four assassins, wearing black clothes and head coverings, were also on the rooftops of houses on either side of the alley. They walked silently, quietly following behind him and slowly approaching him.

Surprised, Han Shuo did not think that Grover would be so brave. He had just left the Guild when the latter made his move. It seemed Grover's hatred for him was profound.

Han Shuo suddenly calmed down when it was time for him to survive. There are five in total. Apart from the wind proficient witch Ellis, the other four were not weak either. According to the original demon's observation, Han Shuo discovered that the four of them were divided into two warriors, one witch, and one archer. If not for the fact that the original demons could monitor their movements at any time, Han Shuo would have been hard pressed to escape his death.

However, with the addition of the original demons, although Han Shuo still had no advantage, he was not without hope of escaping. From Phoebe's description, Han Shuo knew that there was a large mansion in front which was the residence of the Imperial army stationed here. Han Shuo had chosen to walk through this gloomy passageway precisely because of the palace that lay before him.

Finally, when Han Shuo got to the middle of the alley, five – assassins including Ellis – seemed to believe that this was a good opportunity as their approach speed suddenly increased.

The sound of an extremely light arrow whistling in the air suddenly fell into Han Shuo's hearing range. The arrow was extremely sharp as it made a straight for Han Shuo, its momentum was extremely fierce.

This arrow comes from a professional archer. The corners and edges were extremely brutal. If not for the fact that Han Shuo had clearly observed his actions through the original demon, then it was highly likely that he would have fallen onto the arrow on the spot.

His initial measured move suddenly increased, but he did not rush forward, but avoided going left. An arrow shot past the corner of Han Shuo's clothes with a hissing sound, whistling loudly towards the front.

The arrow suddenly broke into pieces in front of Han Shuo, as Ellis had long since released several sharp wind blades. He seemed to be waiting for Han Shuo to subconsciously move further, but Han Shuo had already detected this and avoided them.

At the same time, the air above his head suddenly lit up when a patch of fire walls suddenly formed and descended on his head. Two nimble figures, wielding long swords, flew from the roof. Han Shuo could clearly see the pale-green and dark-green battle aura thanks to the light provided by the wall of fire.

Suddenly increasing his speed, Han Shuo's speed suddenly rose instantly and spun to the left, dodging Ellis' wind sword obstruction and running out of the passageway entrance. Han Shuo had just left his position when the wall of flames slammed down, and sparks flew from where he had just stood.

No matter how they imagined things, they would never know that Han Shuo had clearly seen their footsteps being deliberately hidden through the eyes of a genuine demon. They thought it was really an unexpected attack, but it had already been completely observed by Han Shuo. This was what caused this extremely talented group of five to fail their first wave of attacks completely.

“Do not let him leave the passageway alive!” Ellis' soft voice was deliberately sharp and loud as it sounded at this moment.

Archers and fire witches stood on either side on the roof of the alley. When Ellis' words were spoken, they moved at almost the same time. The archer took out three arrows and attached them to his bow, shooting them all at once with a whistling sound. They flew ferociously towards Han Shuo's forehead, back, and thighs.

Another wall of fire suddenly formed towards Han Shuo running, blocking his escape and forcing him to take a detour. Otherwise, he would be hard pressed to escape from the pile of firewood on the flaming wall.

The two swordsmen who had just landed took advantage of the situation to immediately approach with their long swords. They were only about ten meters away from Han Shuo. Ellis' feet floated above the ground as she quickly closed the distance from behind, clearly planning to keep Han Shuo here.

Tilting his body, Han Shuo once again changed direction and made the right one. He planned on circling through the fire wall and rushing out into the street. A few blades of wind whistled, but it was all within Han Shuo's expectations. The dagger in his hand moved swiftly as he cut through the five blades of wind. However, the three of them were still pulling on his thighs and arms.

He suffered three attacks of being under the state of Han Shuo knowing that Ellis had sent a wind sword there before, otherwise if the ten wind swords were connected with his vital marks, it would have been, it was likely that he would not be able to take a step forward.

Han Shuo bore the wounds under his thighs and arms and rushed out of the wind ambush, simultaneously dodging the wall of fire and flying arrows, dashing into the entrance of the alley like lightning. He'll rush out into the street.

At this moment, an extremely terrifying wail pierced through the quiet night sky. In the midst of running, Han Shuo used a real demon to discover that the archer bow had split in two, and fell lethargic from the roof with blood at the corner of his mouth. Phoebe stood where she had just stood, a long sword in hand and stood with a proud and graceful air.

“Pho .. Phoebe, you sword lady!” Under the head covering, Ellis was so shocked that she forgot to modulate her tone and used her original voice to exclaim in shock. He did not speak to the others when his fast-breaking body suddenly stopped. He suddenly turned around and fled backwards at an even higher speed.

Phoebe let out a cold snort and made no attempt to chase after the fleeing Ellis. After all, if a wind mage attempted to escape completely, it would indeed be difficult to chase after him. The longsword in his hand waved, the majestic-looking Phoebe descended gently from the roof towards the two warriors.It seems like he is planning on taking care of those who are still there.

Han Shuo was about to rush out of the alley at this time and was very happy when he saw Phoebe suddenly appear. He quickly did a face and opened his mouth to summon the small skeleton, dashing swiftly towards the two warriors themselves.

That small skeleton would not be so useful when Han Shuo fled for his previous life. With the presence of Phoebe the sword master now, Han Shuo had gone from being hunted to being a hunter. That small skeleton could naturally make an approach to kill the enemy.

When the small skeleton wielding bone dagger appeared, the bone began to run rapidly under Han Shuo's orders. The seven bone spurs on his back waved as he shot towards the roof, trying to finish off the fire magician.

The fire mage was shocked because he never thought the small skeleton would be able to utilize its momentum to directly jump onto the roof. In his panic, he immediately muttered a spell as a flaming wall of fire appeared again, blocking the path the small skeleton was about to take.

However, the small skeleton did not notice the blockage of the fire wall and threw itself into it. It walked out with its body flushed from the wall of flames and arrived in front of the expression of the fire mage. The bone dagger in his hand danced as it turned the mage into a beehive.
