Chapter 524: Counter kill (II)

The sudden surprise attack directed at Cai’er made him make his first personal move, and by chance, his reaction was fast enough or Cai’er would really have suffered a tragic fate . The Sickle of the God of Death was certainly very powerful, but the gap in spiritual energy made it impossible to completely unleash the weapon’s power . More accurately speaking, the more powerful the weapon, the more strength it requires from the user, to display its real might .

The following course of action felt unreal even to Sheng Yue’s eyes . In all of demon history, Allocer was probably the demon god that died the most easily .

Allocer’s death was not only due to the obstruction of the Golden Foundation Knight and Sheng Yue’s surprise attack, but also because of his lack of preparation . Yet it all happened too fast, or else, he simply had to call out to his distant demon god pillar, and he wouldn’t have died in Sheng Yue’s hands .

But unfortunately, not everything goes fairly in this world .

“Thank you, brother . These spoils of wars should go to you . ” Sheng Yue passed Allocer’s corpse to the Golden Foundation Knight without any stinginess .

The Golden Foundation Knight shook his head, “Hello, senior . I cannot accept this . The provisional Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple and twelfth Golden Knight reports to you . ”

No mistake, this person who stopped two demon gods and created the opportunity for Sheng Yue to kill the Blazing Lion Demon God was none other than Long Haochen .

Originally Long Haochen and Han Yu were on their way to the Exorcist Mountain Pass . But while they were still quite far off, Long Haochen’s senses detected a large battle going on here . He had Han Yu head to the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while he rode Star King at a high altitude to see whether he could be needed somewhere . Although he didn’t take Long Tianying’s mission too much to heart, Long Haochen wanted to amass the most contribution points possible to the best extent of his ability .

After focusing his attention on the area around the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he almost instantly found out about Cai’er’s battles, the Sickle of the God of Death giving him the most direct indication .

Long Haochen was really overjoyed at this news and was preparing to join her when she suffered the surprise attack .

The following course of action was simple . Long Haochen united perfectly with Star King to hurry at the greatest speed, just like a golden meteor passing through the battlefield . It was too late to come to Cai’er’s rescue, because of the immediate crisis she was confronted with . Extremely anxious, Long Haochen had already put out his whole strength . After experiencing many years of battles, he had a good ability to make predictions in the battlefield . Seeing Cai’er alright and the two demon gods retreating, he chose to appear in the enemies’ only path of return . This is how the scene of assassination of the Blazing Lion Demon God came about .

Sheng Yue’s appellation as Brother’ made Long Haochen almost cry out loud . He was fooling an elder… Therefore, wanting to hide his identity, he rapidly changed the subject, as this was not an appropriate time to reveal himself .

Hearing Long Haochen’s voice and speech, Sheng Yue immediately had a suspicious look . This voice was quite familiar, but he wasn’t able to identify it immediately . All he could infer from it was that this twelfth Golden Knight was of quite a young age . He already had the knowledge that the twelfth Golden Foundation Armor should be in the Knight Temple’s treasury, so this Twelfth Golden Knight should be a newly promoted Golden Foundation Knight . Yet he called himself Provisional Saint Knight Head .

The status of the Saint Knight Head was, in the Knight Temple, only second to the Temple Head and auxiliary heads . How could it be held by a newly promoted Golden Foundation Knight?

However, no matter how Sheng Yue was puzzled over this, he didn’t have any suspicion toward Long Haochen, who had already used actions to prove himself .

“Let’s head back to the city first . ” Sheng Yue waved his hand and flew back to the Exorcist Mountain Pass along with Long Haochen, as the tyrannical murderous spirits and twisted fluctuations slowly withdrew .

This battle didn’t end as a victory for the Assassin Temple, but getting rid of a demon god greatly stimulated the soldiers’ morale .

Sheng Yue faced the Exorcist Mountain Pass, raising high above his head the corpse of the Blazing Lion Demon God . Immediately, a surge of acclamations followed from the Exorcist City . A lot of soldiers were stirred to the extent of shedding tears .

Looking silently at the Exorcist Mountain Pass, already unrecognizable due to the damage, Long Haochen felt a great pain . As the trigger of this Holy War, he wasn’t given any complaint from the Alliance, yet who knew how many soldiers died in the battlefields .

I will definitely thoroughly crush demonkind, so peace can reappear in the continent of Shengmo Dalu . There will be no more wars . Long Haochen secretly pledged this to himself . In the meantime, he slowly started to chant an incantation .

Sheng Yue looked at the nearby Long Haochen with shock . He could sense that from this Golden Foundation Knight started to come out extremely dense fluctuations of light essence . And the purity of this light essence reached a level he had never seen before .

Long Haochen’s chanting voice was very gentle, and his incantation was very low pitched, but definitely didn’t lose out in efficiency . One could see that around his body started to bubble forth numerous specks of light .

Sheng Yue took a deep breath, and couldn’t help but reveal a grateful expression, remarking in a low voice, “Don’t push yourself too much . ”

Long Haochen was of course unable to respond to him, but his chant started to become clearer .

Tiny specks of light started to surround his body . At first, there were only a dozen, each of which reached the size of a soybean, hardly remarkable . But as their quantity increased, everyone could sense with shock that the shape of a sphere of light started to form around him . At close and far distances appeared the same kinds of specks of light, gathering around Long Haochen’s area, and starting to spiral all around him .

Sheng Yue started to fly to the opposite direction of the Exorcist City . Since this knight was invested for the Exorcist Mountain Pass, he had to guarantee his safety . What if the demons chose to launch a surprise attack?

Not only him, but without need for his orders, a series of shadows swept outside the city, forming a protective barrier in the sky surrounding the Exorcist City, to guarantee the defense of Long Haochen while he chanted .

At this very moment, Long Haochen was extremely focused and seemed to only be able to hear his own long and tedious voiced incantation, which could lessen his feelings of guilt .

He had entered a fantastic state . When the chant had just started, the spiritual energy in his body was very dispersed, most of his spiritual energy having been depleted during the last battle .

But after the golden specks of light started to fuse with him, he discovered with stupor that the spiritual energy in his body kept rising, calmly piling up inside him . He had originally planned to chant until he had recovered halfway, but after completing the half, the rest continued naturally .

At this moment, his attention and senses were not on his own body, but were one with the air, assimilating nature and light .

The first time Long Haochen attained this state was in the Illusory Paradise . Ye Xiaolei had described it as a divine realm . God is everywhere and nowhere at the same time . At the current time, he wasn’t an incantator, but a conductor, conducting all the light essence .

He had as his support his deep kind-heartedness, and as his baton his sadness and dedication .

He experienced deeply the gentleness, kindness, harmony, sacrifice, mercy, pardon and compassion associated to light, and this instant, his mind made one with the light element . This instant, he had become the Scion of Light in the true meaning .

The power of light should never be used for slaughters, so even if Long Haochen managed in the future to become a powerhouse of the Demon God Emperor’s grade, he would absolutely not command light essence to do such things in times of attacks . The spell that he was using right now was using the concepts of pardon, compassion and kindness as one, without the slightest selfishness or distraction, and sparing no cost to spread out his feelings of mercy .

The golden dot of light forming a spiral shape gradually reached a high altitude, taking the shape of a huge pillar of light exceeding a hundred meters diameter . At this time, the demon god pillars over the distant demon camp were completely overshadowed, and the overwhelming light element’s influence made all the demons shudder in fear . Although they could sense that this holy light was not directed at them, being darkness affinity demons, they could hardly contain their fear .

No other grand scene followed after the appearance of this golden pillar of light . Finally, Long Haochen chanted the last syllable of his incantation, and from his body, a seven-colored light glowed . The Starlight Unicorn and he had already recovered their peak state of spiritual energy, but were still floating in midair, their eyes having become brilliant like never before .

The sky was totally golden, and as far as the eye could see, everything had taken a golden color . A faint rain of light started to pour out of nowhere, falling gently and slowly .

Everywhere the thin rain poured, people were given a gentle and agreeable feeling, and every drop of rain would turn into a very thin halo of light .

Every drizzle gave off a soft feeling of warmth . At the start, this small warmth was insufficient to really be noticed, but rapidly, people found out that the soft rain gave her an immense feeling of carefreeness and tranquility .

Everyone had the reflex of gazing at Long Haochen, riding the Starlight Unicorn King . Their feelings of excitement had gradually changed into feelings of tranquility . Then, they regained excited looks, filled with extreme feelings .
