Chapter 525: Counter Kill (I)

<h1></h1>

Sheng Yue’s bursting Spiritual Highland not only wounded the surface of Allocer’s body, but also, Sheng Yue’s spiritual energy’s aura of death entered his body and would require at least ten days to half a month to recover.

After withdrawing, and on the way to the main camp, Allocer suddenly sensed the arrival of an enormous holy aura, and furthermore it was visibly aimed at him.

What’s that light aura??It came directly from the Exorcist City! Allocer was totally shocked, and didn’t dare procrastinate. A tremendous fire suddenly burst out from his body, and, coiling around him, released violent undulations of spiritual energy. In his right hand appeared a sawtooth shaped longblade, aiming to chop the suddenly incoming enemy.

Allocer was originally using dual blades, but his other longblade was destroyed by Sheng Yue. Even the demon gods wouldn’t necessarily have powerful weapons. He had to change it frequently. That pair of longblades was at the low Legendary Tier, and had a large gap in power when compared to Sheng Yue’s pair of Epic Tier daggers.

The instant the immense orange shield was about to strike Allocer, it suddenly paused, and immediately, Allocer discovered with shock that an extremely sharp aura burst out from his opponent’s shield. That extremely strong mental force was not aimed at his body but his psyche.

Allocer had a dizzy feeling, as that sharp mental force had thrown his whole mind in disorder.

In such circumstances, his chopping Sawteeth Blazing Blade immediately became quite weaker.

Bang!?The orange glow collided in response. During this violent clash, that meteoric golden silhouette became visible. In a fierce clash, he didn’t lose out against Allocer, both parties repelling each other. But Allocer’s condition was visibly quite worse.

When the orange shield collided with his weapon, although the opponent had great strength, his cultivation was not irresistible. But what broke the balance was the blast of light essence of incredible purity that came out from within the shield was precisely a light elemental Spiritual Highland.

Allocer was originally wounded, but suddenly suffering such a strike naturally made the wound even worse. Flames burst out all the way underneath him, spreading incessantly to the whole sky.

However, to his ease of mind, he could clearly see that behind this fully armored knight riding a magnificent Starlight Unicorn, a pitch-black shadow flashed through. It was that demon powerhouse who attacked Cai’er together with Allocer. After the last clash, he had once again mounted a sneak attack against the enemy.

That fully armored knight visibly expected this. Shifting his stance back all of a sudden, his eyes swept along the horizon.

Ding?A chirping sound was produced as the orange knight’s whole body released a great brilliance, propelling himself back along with his Starlight Unicorn. His shield also released a burst with an orange glitter, a clear sign that he didn’t have such an easy time sustaining this attack.

But right at this time, Allocer opened his mouth wide and, from there, released sharp, pitch-black projectiles.

No one would be more expert in grasping opportunities than an assassin. And this place was nowhere else than the headquarter of the assassins. As the head of the Assassin Temple, how could Sheng Yue not understand this?

As the powerful knight clad in Golden Foundation Armor attracted the attention of the two demon gods, Sheng Yue completely concealed himself long ago. The coordination between an assassin and a knight was a long tradition in the Temple Alliance. So, the instant Allocer collided with that Golden Foundation Knight, Sheng Yue didn’t know how things would turn out, but he had the intuition that this knight would certainly create an opportunity for a surprise attack from him.

And that’s how things actually turned out. The powerful sword intent unleashed by the Golden Foundation Knight at Allocer’s psyche aggravated his injury, and he relaxed from seeing his ally ambush the knight. All of this made him at his weakest this instant.

Sheng Yue’s attack was a bit slower than the demon assassin. But this difference in speed produced a murderous result.

Bang!?The Blazing Lion Demon Allocer let out a terrible shout. A demon god’s body was certainly tough, to the extent that even Sheng Yue’s full power burst of power didn’t split his body. But on his chest appeared a hole one third of a meter long. This injury looked fatal.

However, Sheng Yue didn’t plan on letting him go. In the meantime, his other dagger thrust violently into the back of Allocer’s head.

The vitality of a demon god was incredible, especially around his demon god pillar. Therefore, he had to kill the enemy thoroughly, to guarantee that he wouldn’t get up.

Allocer’s death was quite sad. He absolutely didn’t expect their surprise attack to end up in a counter kill, without even allowing him the time to borrow his demon god pillar’s strength before being inflicted with fatal wounds. At the time the explosive attack reached the back of his head, his last hope of survival had disappeared.

Sheng Yue was far more experienced than Long Haochen’s group, and was extremely spontaneous in that situation. After Allocer’s death, without allowing any time for his demon god crown to get away, Allocer’s body was bound by Sheng Yue’s spiritual energy. Due to the repression of his power, the demon god crown was unable to get away, and another Blazing Lion Demon God would hardly reappear in their ranks. It would take at least a year for the demon god pillar to recover its vigor and sprout the seed of another demon god, to choose a new successor. But if the demon god crown returned, it would almost immediately be able to look for a successor, and transmit him a part of Allocer’s power. Speaking of which, the demon god crown from when they killed Andromalius was eaten by Haoyue, so Long Haochen didn’t know what became of it.

At the time Sheng Yue’s fatal attacks were launched, the eye-catching orange shield once again blocked that assassin demon god, to prevent him from rescuing the Blazing Lion Demon God.

Despite how it may seem, all of this had happened in a flash. From the surprise attack launched by the two demon gods against Cai’er to the death of Allocer, only a few blinks of an eye had passed.

This was their first time cooperating, but they had a formless mutual understanding, with the perfect amount of trust and cohesion to produce such good results.

The Golden Foundation Knight was riding his Starlight Unicorn, continuously drawing back in the sky. Every time he was forced back, the orange light gained in brilliance, and the shield kept blocking the incoming attacks through Divine Obstruction. His mastery of the vocation of Guardian Knight came out perfectly. Although every attack of the enemy depleted a great amount of his spiritual energy, he managed to keep going for the necessary time.

The enemy didn’t have the time to prepare any more devastating attack, and could only helplessly look at the scene of Allocer being killed by Sheng Yue.

Far off in the demon camps, the Blazing Lion Demon God’s pillar as well as the seven others shone brilliantly, but on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, the sky suddenly looked distorted, and a massive murderous spirit spread out in the shape of a large net that went the demon gods’ way.

The black silhouette that was attacking the Golden Foundation Knight flashed back, and fled in the sky, disappearing completely. This side of the battlefield was closer to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, so the reinforcements from the Assassin Temple were visibly quite faster than the demon gods to come. If he didn’t go now, he could only suffer the same fate as Allocer.

Don’t think that a powerhouse of the ninth step can persist for an incredibly long time in battle. The greater one’s strength, the greater the danger involved in clashes. Except for those with absurd defensive power such as the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor, the life or death of powerhouses of the ninth step was frequently decided in a flash in cases of fights between them.

Retrieving his shield, that Golden Foundation Knight let out a low groan, spitting out some saliva. Resisting that assassin demon god’s continuous attack was no easy thing. If he didn’t have the Starlight Unicorn and his epic Gold Foundation armor to supply him with sufficient spiritual energy, even if his defense was maintained in the Spiritual Highland state, his spiritual energy couldn’t make such an advanced defense last to take more than three blows. In a situation of one versus one, this Golden Foundation Knight would surely have been lost, if he decided to fight to the death without considering escape.

He and Sheng Yue didn’t withdraw yet, only gazing at the demon god pillars lit up in the distance, as the twists on the air surrounding them became stronger, but not a single figure appeared.

The corpse of the Blazing Lion Allocer was recovered by Sheng Yue. A demon god’s Demon God Crown was a real treasure, which could supply a Magic Cannon for at least three years, or be used to make a piece of equipment at the epic tier.

Woo, woo?The horn for retreat sounded, and the large demon armies on the offense immediately retreated in mass. Far off, the seven lit up demon god pillars also started to darken as well.

Haha?Sheng Yue let out a loud laugh, “Feels good. This old man finally let out all his accumulated resentment.”

Sheng Yue was a character of bad temperament, and had to suppress himself all this time, because neither side wished to have the powerhouses of the ninth step join the battle for fear of causing casualties on an extremely large scale. Therefore, the powerhouses of the ninth step only stood opposite to each other but had yet to join the battle. So even if he was anxious, he could not take the initiative to make a move, and had even left the city’s defense to Sheng Lingxin’s care. Until now, this senior heroic assassin felt unable to exert his strength, which was really an unpleasant feeling.
