Chapter 609: Haoyue Descends (III)
Translator: GravityTales
A strange scene followed. To the shock of the Panther Demons on watch, the instant the shield and purple intent came in contact, the defense slipped away like snow from a freshly oiled floor, and the massive Haoyue landed explosively on the summit of the Panther Demon Palace.
Badoom!
The violent explosion splashed dust and rocks in all directions. The whole Yale City was shaken by the ear-splitting loud sound and shaking. Haoyue unexpectedly broke inside the Panther Demon Palace just like that.
A large hole had appeared on top of the Panther Demon Palace, letting his four vigorous limbs land inside the main hall of the palace. The massive shaking from his violent landing caused the appearance of wide cracks, but it seemed that Haoyue was totally unharmed. His six large heads fired like six Magic Cannons launching offensive magic to his surroundings at a frantic speed.
The inside will always be the least solid part of a fort. The Panther Demon Palace was also like that: who could guess that someone would break through the defensive barrier? Haoyue’s tempestuous magic combinations using six elements immediately made the inside of the Panther Demon Palace a total mess.
All the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope felt dumbstruck. Haoyue was just too fierce. They were originally prepared to join the battle to dispose of the defensive protection, but who would have thought that it would get smashed after just one roar from Haoyue? At that very moment, they felt totally carefree: Haoyue’s performance was just too delighting.
Most of all, Chen Ying’er was excitedly hopping on Haoyue’s back. Yang Wenzhao had sustained heavy wounds, and although they were starting to get better, fully recovering in one or two months would be impossible. This enmity was naturally accounted to the nearby demons, plus they were directly attacking a demon city, and even a capital city. Using such methods made it just too fulfilling.
Haoyue’s magic bombardment made those Panther Demons not even dare rush forward directly. The Panther Demon Palace was really solid: although large damage had appeared in the midst of the violent explosion, the whole building had yet to crumble entirely.
Right at this time, yellow figures leaped on the surroundings, their violent darkness essence instantly turning into black defensive barriers aimed against Haoyue’s magic bombardment.
With a stare, Haoyue’s six heads roared at the same time. Immediately, another burst of purple intent appeared, immediately causing the black colored barrier of the Panther Demon powerhouses to collapse, and stopping their defensive magic. Haoyue’s six heads then released another burst of repeated spells, this time scattering and smashing the bodies of Panther Demons of at least the sixth step.
Lin Xin gulped his saliva, and looked at Long Haochen, “Boss, how come I feel that there is not even a need for us to act? Haoyue is doing well enough by himself.”
Indeed, when Haoyue’s six heads fired, there was no opportunity at all for them to take part. Haoyue’s magic covered almost the whole Panther Demon Hall. With each of Haoyue’s jumps, great consequences followed.
Long Haochen had a look of pleasant surprise. After getting his sixth head, Haoyue’s magic was greatly amplified. Furthermore, his spiritual energy was almost inexhaustible. While launching magic, Long Haochen could feel a great amount of elemental residue appearing in Haoyue’s body and replenishing his spiritual energy very fast. Just in this short while, the Panther Demon Palace was totally in ruins, without the slightest bearing of a Demon God Palace.
“Don’t worry, when more powerful Panther Demons come, everyone will get to join the battle.” Long Haochen addressed that reply to the whole group.
Just as Long Haochen spoke, a yellow figure suddenly flashed out like a bolt of lightning, rushing at Haoyue. It was just too fast, taking close to a breath to arrive in front of Haoyue. And in the meantime, as it accelerated like that, it effectively dodged all Haoyue’s spells very closely every time, all of which left slight twisting yellow traces on its back.
That was a Panther Demon with golden hairs all over the body. His citrine colored eyes flashed with dense killing intent. On the front end of his vigorous arms were sharp claws. The instant it arrived in front of Haoyue, the wings on its back made a sudden turn, changing direction abruptly. While rising upwards, its claws were aimed straight at Little Light’s eyes.
Be it in terms of speed, power, or reactivity, this Panther Demon was much more powerful than the previous ones. A sharp and substantive darkness aura was swept violently, producing sharp hissing sounds in the air. That power was close to the state of Spiritual Highland.
Panther Demons’ weakness lay in their mediocre defense, but their speed and offensive power was top-notch. The performance of this Panther Demon was brilliant in these aspects.
Facing such a sudden surprise attack, Haoyue acted like he didn’t see anything, as he kept launching the spells he was casting, paying no attention to that.
An orange colored radiance flashed as the Panther Demon’s attack was on the verge of reaching Little Light’s head.
_Dang._ In a sharp and clear exploding sound, the Panther Demon’s body was shot away. His pair of sharp claws took a special posture, releasing four pitch-black blade projections, until Long Haochen came to block the attack.
Long Haochen’s body was flickering in golden light. That was the ability Bright Vengeance produced after his Divine Obstruction. When he received this Panther Demon’s last attack, his body only shook slightly, but immediately repelled it; that gold colored Panther Demon was at the eighth step.
The extremity of his foot used Haoyue’s back as support, as an orange colored blade projection was swept away instantly. Just after meeting it, all the black blade projections were immediately scattered and smashed. Immediately, Long Haochen’s body came to a sudden standstill, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light was waved forward.
This sword strike didn’t leave the slightest trace in its way. The sword intent in it was not sharp, but rather carried traces of warmth. But that Golden Panther Demon abruptly felt unable to avoid it. Even drawing back was impossible: despite his level of speed, he was completely unable to escape from being enveloped by that sword intent.
With a low howl, the claws of that Golden Panther Demon instantly turned gold colored. Its body made a rushed rotation, and the pair of claws simultaneously aimed to strike Long Haochen. The spiritual energy released from the claw even produced a gloss of dark gold.
_Clang_. A sharp sound accompanied the Golden Panther Demon’s scream.
Just how many demon powerhouses had Long Haochen aleady faced? He had already fought over five existences reaching the demon god level. Although he didn’t achieve victory every time, having experienced battles against so many powerhouses of such kind, how could this Panther Demon of the eighth step possibly stop him?
This warm-looking sword intent let out an instant burst upon clashing with the Golden Panther Demon. The the brittle, sharp sound was the abrupt shattering of the claws against the Aria of the Goddess of Light.
However, this Golden Panther Demon remained quite valiant. After the Aria of the Goddess of Light ruptured its claws, although a deep bloody scar was produced from its chest to its thigh, that still didn’t kill him in one blow. In fact, that was the sword intent released by a divine sword. To resist instant death against it, this Panther Demon was considerably valiant.
Feeling an increasing affinity between the Aria of the Goddess of Light and himself, Long Haochen didn’t even look at the Panther Demon he had just neutralized. In another flash of orange color, a blade projection was released and this time, its golden radiance enlarged, chasing that Panther Demon which was instantly split in two. A demon powerhouse of the eighth step was just annihilated by Long Haochen who was at the same eighth step.
This gap of strength was also a gap of equipment. Long Haochen’s set of equipment all reached the epic tier at least. The Aria of the Goddess of Light and Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon could even reach the divine tool tier at anytime. Adding to this his understanding of sword intent, even the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus had to respond prudently, yet was finally wounded by Haochen, not to mention this ordinary Golden Panther Demon.
But at the same time this Golden Panther Demon launched its assault, other golden figures rushed forward, as black colored blade projections entangled in midair, blocking a great part of Haoyue’s bombardment, and a large amount of Panther Demons flocked from outside.
At least eight other Golden Panther Demons had made their way into the hall to stop Haoyue’s magic attacks. Seeing the complete mess inside the Panther Demon Palace, these Panther Demons let out shouts of fury. But they were only surrounding Long Haochen’s group and didn’t attack in a rush.
Haoyue’s magic came to a stop. He coldly glared at the surrounding Panther Demons, and the downcast chanting from his six heads’ mouths started to change rythm.
Long Haochen obviously knew what Haoyue was planning, and immediately jumped on Little Light’s head, mentally telling him to stop chanting that incantation.
Haoyue was trying to use the six-elemental Essence of Disorder! No matter how many Panther Demons were present, in case this fired off, probably no survivors would emerge atside from these Golden Panther Demons of the eighth step. The other Panther Demons would certainly face death.
But an Essence of Disorder of this level came with a very large burden for Haoyue too. This was a strategic location for demons, so Long Haochen had no intention to launch a teleportation from here, so he definitely had to maintain Haoyue’s strength.
And furthermore, he sensed some response inside this Panther Demon Hall, of the enemy existence he really wanted to meet.
“Go!” Long Haochen waved his hand and took the lead to jump from Haoyue’s back. Now that they were in demon territory, he didn’t need to conceal his identity anymoe, and spread out the four golden spiritual wings on his back to shoot like a golden arrow at the enemies.
Outside from Chen Ying’er and Lin Xin, everyone jumped down in succession from Haoyue’s back as well. With Haoyue’s protection, the two mage didn’t need to worry for their own safety at all.
Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, and Cai’er charged into five different directions from Long Haochen. Each of them unfolded the spiritual wings on their backs, and released powerful auras of might.
