The Great Demon King
Chapter 85 "Producing profit without working for it "



Ellis's sudden death also fully revealed Han Shuo's existence. As the weapon returned to his hands, Han Shuo also jumped down from the tree as well.


At this moment, there was also an arrow sticking out from the side of the lightning mages of the Battlefire mercenary band. It looks like he has been hit by an archer from “Shadow Ghost” on the far roof at some point.


The other senior swordsmen also vomited blood. His body seemed to have been injured by the wind sword as fresh blood dripped from his wound onto the floor.


“Leave this place!” Han Shuo jumped down deftly, understood the situation, and understood that even though Ellis was dying in an ambush, they were still at a disadvantage. He immediately made the decision to withdraw.


Only a few moments had actually passed since the arrival of these assassins until several rounds of attacks just now. Before the turn of the city guards was completed, the assassins of “Hantu” Shadows would have more than enough time to slowly kill his friends, he said, especially when the original demon that Han Shuo had set up further sensed that the others, who had set up traps, had also rushed this way. He naturally understood that their arrival meant that their chances of life were dwindling.


Phoebe and Candice's beautiful eyes had already shone when Han Shuo's order to retreat sounded, seemingly already considering how to retreat.


Before the two decided, a thought struck Han Shuo as he suddenly recalled the place and a sly smile spread across his face. He suddenly said, “Follow me!”


Han Shuo's body suddenly ran towards one of the collapsed walls of the house, Demonslayer Edge flew out from his palm like a poisonous dragon. A huge hole suddenly opened, accompanied by a violent explosion. Han Shuo caught the Edge Demonslayer as he arrived, coming out of the hole.


Phoebe and Candice were already close to Han Shuo and also the closest to the opening hole. As Han Shuo's body moved, the two beautiful women did not hesitate and also flew, escaping through the hole in the blink of an eye.


The two remaining Battlefire mercenaries looked at each other after seeing Candice and Phoebe leave, and also began to flee in two different directions.


“Don't chase them? After the two girls! ”The black-robed Archmage suddenly opened his mouth at this moment. His voice was very sharp and not pleasant to hear.


Thus, all the assassins gave up on the two remaining Battlefire members and quickly wriggled through the hole, under the instructions of the archmage, and began to chase after Han Shuo and the others.


After being trained in magic, Han Shuo was extremely fast as he ran furiously. As warriors, both beautiful women Phoebe and Candice are also not left behind. The two paid no attention to anything else, set their sights on Han Shuo, and chased after him.


One of the original demons was one step ahead and had been hiding in Han Shuo's path. With an additional set of eyes in front, Han Shuo would especially choose a remote area to escape from as he walked down the various yards and alleys. With the existence of the original demons, Han Shuo could map everything into his heart and would not take one wrong path.


Slowly, Han Shuo's three-man group slowly widened the distance between them and their pursuers by utilizing the terrain. Forks on the road suddenly appeared, one leading in one direction in a more twisting and turning manner, while the other was wider and did not offer much concealment area in the middle of the road.


Following behind Han Shuo, Phoebe and Candice were greatly amazed by Han Shuo's familiarity with the region. They watched as Han Shuo used his knowledge of the land to leave their pursuers far behind them.


When the road fork appeared, the two of them naturally thought that Han Shuo would run into a more winding and turning road and use the opportunity to completely get rid of their pursuers. They had not expected Han Shuo to suddenly stop and take the black mask and cover his face, throwing two more to Phoebe and Candice, hurriedly urging them, “Wear it!”


While Candice was still hesitating, Phoebe was already wearing a mask without saying anything, covering her entire pretty face. Seeing that the pursuers had already appeared on the street corner, Phoebe rushed Candice, “Quick!”


Candice no longer hesitated after Phoebe spoke up. He frantically put on a mask and then took out a set of black nightwalker clothes from the space ring, seemingly planning to wear them as well.


“Don't wear black clothes! Let's move! ”Han Shuo suddenly said while looking at their pursuers behind them. After pausing for a short while for a few seconds, his body moved again, dashing through the desolate and windy path and heading towards the other wide road without any concealment.


Even Phoebe was surprised when she did not understand why Han Shuo did it, but this was not the time to ask. Based on his trust in Han Shuo, Phoebe lightly pulled Candice and ran after Han Shuo firmly.


“Don't run out, make sure that those who follow us can follow in our footsteps!” Han Shuo briefly lowered his speed and pulled side by side with Candice, whispering to the two girls.


“What are you doing? If we don't slow down and go the other way, I think we'll run away now. Why do we do that, like using a mask to cover our face? They know what we're wearing, there's no point doing it and making us look like idiots! “Clearned Candice.


“Heh heh, I used a mask to cover my face, not to deceive them, but to not reveal our faces to other groups of people. When I came here yesterday, I found a group of shady and discreet people in the house in front. These people are also very strong and cannot do good to anyone. If people from ‘Hantu Shadow’ meet with them, I think some problems can be caused. Maybe we can use this to solve our ‘Shadow Ghost’ problem in one go. ”Han Shuo explained in a sinister tone.


“You are really depraved!” Candice exclaimed after a moment of silence.


“Bryan, we can't harm innocent people! Are you sure they're not good people? “Phoebe started and asked Han Shuo.


“Don't worry, I'm sure they're not good people. I even saw them crawling around the Academy area yesterday to steal things. How could they be good people when committing such a crime! “Han Shuo promised Phoebe and then suddenly said low,” Careful, that's the page in front. I'll attack from a distance in a moment and then we'll flash right behind that yard. Be careful not to reveal yourself in any way. ”


His speed suddenly increased, Han Shuo, Phoebe, and Candice rushed towards the courtyard that lay before them. Han Shuo suddenly took out an automatic arrow when he arrived at the door and released an arrow bolt without aiming. He then took out a metal needle and randomly threw it into the courtyard as well.


“Ew ... smells bad!” Candice immediately covered her nose and shouted low. Phoebe also covered her nose, a feeling of disgust and discomfort surfaced in her eyes.


This place is very narrow and there are also some garbage bags available. Han Shuo crouched down in the middle, with Phoebe and Candice squatting on both sides. Their three bodies were all tightly clinging to each other. Han Shuo naturally could not avoid the smell that Candice and Phoebe smelled, and could only use a mask on his face to cover his nose.


Han Shuo did not say anything and used his hands to make a sound, which indicated that the two spoke less and observed their surroundings closely.


“Enemy!” A low call came from within the courtyard and small footsteps rang out from within, seemingly searching for traces of the invaders.


At this moment, Han Shuo, Phoebe, and the crouching Candice saw that the archmage, who had been floating in midair, had caught up with several assassins from “Shadow Ghost”.


“They go inside this page!” A swordsman immediately reported to the archmage when they arrived.


Archmage nodded and waved the magic wand covered by his long sleeves. A powerful magic pulse once again appeared suddenly, and the earthquake spell that had been used in Phoebe's house once again showed itself in this courtyard. All the buildings and buildings collapsed one after another as the archmage chanted his earthquake spell.


A sudden rush of curses and shouts sounded from within. Duke and Erick, as well as several others in the courtyard, blazed their aura and battle magic without a second warning, attacking the black-robed archer.


The duke also floated in the air, he was also an archmage. The ornate magic staff accompanied the conclusion of his wind magic spell as hundreds of wind blades formed a tornado, swirling towards the black-robed archmage and the others. The tornado, made of blades of wind, had a terrifying strength. The sand, small rocks, and small trees in its path were swept away and crushed into dust.


“Damn, why are there other archmages present ?! Grover didn't tell us about this! “A loud cry came from the mouth of the black-robed archmage as he lifted the earthen wall in front of him and quickly retreated.


The swordsman from Grover's side and an archer from “Hantu” Shadow did not react in time and was dragged away by a tornado. Endless terrifying screams sounded as the two were torn apart in masses of blood and flesh. They were transformed into a mist of blood and the signs of life were no longer there.


“After them!” Duke snorted coldly and ran out of the courtyard crowd with Erick and a few others, chasing the other “Shadows of Ghost” members who had already started fleeing in the distance. Magics crashed into each other along the way as the sound of endless explosive pilipala was emitted.


“Eh, where are these people from? They are so strong! “Candice muttered with shocked faces after they left.


“This page is destroyed and there is no one in it. We don't need to stay here anymore, “Phoebe hastily jumped out and away from the stone box that had been used to store the trash.


Candice and Han Shuo walked out from inside as Han Shuo laughed lightly, “At this time, the city guards should have already finished changing shifts. I wonder if these two groups of people will warn the guards. ”


“You are creepy. What do we do next? ”At this time, Candice started treating Han Shuo as the leader at an unknown time. Now that the danger had been overcome and he had brought “Hantu” Shadows and Grover's people a lot of trouble, he opened his mouth and asked Han Shuo.


“Miss Phoebe, I think I might know where madam Grover is...” At this moment, Han Shuo suddenly opened his mouth.


His face showed an excited expression, Phoebe looked at Han Shuo with an expression of excitement and asked quickly, “Where is he?”


“Follow me. Looks like we won't be much rest tonight. “Han Shuo shrugged with resignation, took a stance and led them to cross the wide road, walking towards the dark and narrow path.


Grover had revealed himself at the beginning. When Ellis and the people from “Hantu” Shadows had rushed to Phoebe's house, Grover had been staying in a house not far from there and was waiting for the news. One of the three original demons remained beside Grover, watching him.


Grover is left alone only when Phoebe's house collapses. He did not return to the Guild, but took the pre-prepared train, saying to the groom, “Go to the place of Cara, be careful!”


Han Shuo had heard from Phoebe the last time that Grover's mistress called Cara, this was why he told Phoebe and Candice.


The three original demons would become harder to control if they were too far away from Han Shuo's side. When Grover left, Duke and the “Shadow Ghost” members on this side had just made contact. Han Shuo's control over the original demon became increasingly difficult as Grover's carriage rushed away. When Phoebe and Candice agree, they soon travel at full speed to Grover's location.


The sky started to grow brightly when Han Shuo appeared on the streets in the west of the city with Phoebe and Candice. Compared to the north and south sides of the city, it was dirty and messy here, with trash everywhere on the streets. Some beggars wore thin clothes in this very cold weather. They curled up and lay next to the pile of trash, seemingly wanting to get some warmth from the trash bag.


“To think that Grover, with his status, would come to the slums. He's hiding his mistress here, no wonder we can't find her. Grover is a tough guy to fight! ”Phoebe frowned as she looked around and said lowly to Han Shuo.


“Alright, this is the place. Follow Me, I don't think Grover will be able to escape this time! “Han Shuo has seen through the eyes of the original demon that Grover has entered a dirty and broken house. He immediately spun past the pile of trash in front after talking to Phoebe, darting into an alley where flies and insects danced to fly.


Although they were disgusted by this place, Phoebe and Candice still gritted their teeth and darted after Han Shuo. The two constantly flapped their hands, trying to repel the flies around them.
