Chapter 599: Multicolored Divine Sword (I)

At a distance, the others from Bright Glimmer of Hope couldn’t bear the urge of rushing out, but were stopped by Cai’er, “Believe in him, he can do it . ”

Dang… With a crisp colliding sound, an inconceivable scene followed .

In front of Asmodeus’ full body sweep, Long Haochen actually let go of the Divine Snail Shield, and met it by wielding the Aria of the Goddess of Light alone . More shockingly, the instant the heavy sword and the flagged pike met, Asmodeus’ flagged pike was unexpectedly pushed away by Long Haochen .

It was possibly a scene inconceivable in everyone’s imaginations that had occurred .

After Asmodeus’ flagged spear was pushed away by the Aria of the Goddess of Light, it changed its trajectory, and was swept towards the top of Long Haochen’s head . But right at this time, Long Haochen moved away instantly .

What he used was one of the most basic junior abilities used by Retribution Knights, Dashing Thrust .

In a gout of bright light, an orange colored blade projection came out .

Asmodeus shot out his left fist as well, to meet with Long Haochen’s strike . The ram head let out a loud shout with a delicate undertone at the same time .

Against all expectations, Asmodeus swayed from the back of the Hell Dragon he was still sitting on . If someone else was close enough, he would find out that a wound had just appeared on his left hand .

Long Haochen’s thrust which was followed by a stab could only be described as a splendid move . And after this attack, he didn’t stop with that, instantly releasing the four spiritual wings on his back . He seemed to have already stopped completely to conceal his abilities, as he landed from Star King’s back

“Asmodeus, dare to have a match of martial arts with me?”

Asmodeus didn’t expect this opponent visibly far weaker than himself to actually be able to wound him . Long Haochen’s previous attack’s major point was that stab . It aimed at the most unpractical spot for Asmodeus to exert strength, his weakest spot . It wasn’t a clash of power but a mere borrowing of force, altering the trajectory of Asmodeus’ attack and creating a gap in his defense . To achieve that against an opponent with such a difference of cultivation, Long Haochen’s dexterity could already be said to have attained the peak .

However, the gap in strength separating him from Asmodeus was after all just too wide . After the first sword thrust, the second blow was unable to exert sword intent, otherwise that attack would surely have wounded Asmodeus far more .

“To dare challenge the great me, you’re looking for death . ” Asmodeous shouted loudly, spurring on his mount by kicking it, chasing after Long Haochen like a bolt of lightning . In the meantime, while his flight occurred a majestic scene came to view . The massive Hell Dragon he was riding just before simply dissolved and instantly covered his whole body, bursting out in black flames . Everything else surrounding his body other than darkness essence was driven out .

The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeous was furious, but would definitely not look down on the enemy . The fact that Long Haochen could wound him already roused his vigilance .

He was naturally able to tell that the Aria of the Goddess of Light in Long Haochen’s hands was not an ordinary weapon . To meet a heavy sword of epic tier with his body was not any wise choice . This Hell Dragon Transformed Armor was quite similar to Haoyue and Long Haochen’s fusion, except that they reached totally different grades .

More frighteningly, in his flagged pike’s attack, countless black skulls were coming out from the flag, covering an even larger area . From the looks of it, Long Haochen seemed one instant away from being engulfed .

Sending out light radiance, Long Haochen did not keep retreating from that chase . Still holding the Aria of the Goddess of Light in his two hands, his surroundings filled instantly with golden streaks of light, giving off the feeling that he was not merely a single person anymore, but purely a sword .

The fierce sword intent broke out instantly, as Long Haochen’s eyes burst out with dazzling golden light . His body swayed gently, looking like fleeing inside the glowing pike .

Dang, dang, dang… Repeated series of clashing sounds were heard clearly, as the golden light seemed swallowed by the massive black radiance . The clash looked extremely frantic, but the black radiance was unable to approach him further .

The Aria of the Goddess of Light was used on a smale scale . Its sharp end kept shifting direction, and every strike from it utilized the method of borrowing the enemy’s force, instead of meeting the Dragon Rider Demon God with force . The flagged pike in Asmodeus’ hand was continuously pushed away, while these black skulls were unexpectedly cleansed by the golden flames released from Long Haochen’s body .

Asmodeus’ eyes were filled with shock . He did not expect at all that this ant-like opponent would show such great technique . Even with his strength, facing Long Haochen made him feel somewhat unable to muster his force . Every one of Long Haochen’s sword strikes aimed at his weakest spot, and as a matter of course, the constantly deflected flagged spear was unable to muster the slightest of its offensive power .

A one or two times occurrence could be called coincidence, but when not a single of his attacks in wide area managed to land on Long Haochen, how could this be called coincidence? It was as if Long Haochen had another eye, able to spot instantly any of his weak points .

Actually, even Long Haochen’s comrades weren’t aware that Long Haochen’s greatest spot of expertise was absolutely not offense but defense . Although he practiced both Retribution and Guardian paths as knight, never forget the choice he made at the time his father had asked him .

Over these two years, Long Haochen did not really train in Retribution Knight abilities, but chose to focus entirely in the Guardian Knight specialization . Although he was confronting the enemy with a sword right now, in practice he was purely defending .

That year, while still in Odin Town, when Long Haochen was trained by his father, his first lesson had him deal with extremely terrifying Owl-Ants . During every day spent confronting countless numbers of them in their cave only able to rely on the bamboo sword in his hand, being unable to block the assaults of the Owl-Ants would subject him to an incomparable pain . Long Haochen was already starting to train his defensive techniques since then .

Before Long Xingyu departed, his dexterity already made some attainments . Without the use of spiritual energy, even Long Xingyu was unable to breach through Long Haochen’s defense . Could this defensive technique be categorized as a Retribution Knight or a Guardian Knight’s skills? In Long Haochen’s heart, that was concluded to be a Guardian Knight’s skills .

These many years, through the constant increase of his strength, martial arts, and deepened comprehension, plus the long training in the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen had gained great martial attainments . Even at his current cultivation level, winning now against the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus was not an impossible feat . In case they contested only in martial skills, Asmodeus would not have an easy time prevailing .

With their previous lesson, Asmodeus did not dare put everything in offense . Long Haochen’s attack gave him the feeling that in case he revealed a gap, his sword and body joining as one would immediately make use of it .

Of course, Asmodeus had a lot of ways to contain Long Haochen’s martial skills, but as a demon god specialized in lone fighting strength, how could he not be thrilled by meeting with an opponent such as Long Haochen? For a moment, he was even unwilling to use his more powerful abilities to annihilate him faster, to make it a contest of mere martial arts .

The black and golden color in the sky made fiery clashes, with no one able to deal damage to the opponent . Long Haochen used all he had to constrain Asmodeus, and that was the most important part of their plan . As long as he could contain the Dragon Rider Demon God, his comrades would smoothly fulfill the rest of the plan .

Of course, it was not as if Long Haochen was going all out either . He had other trump cards: Asmodeus was ranked as the thirty-second demon god, so in case he were to use a really powerful ability, Long Haochen naturally had to keep some strength to respond . At the very moment, since he was displaying his four wings, he didn’t have the intention to hide his identity . The Demon God Emperor was approaching the Exorcist Mountain Pass on the basis of Vassago’s prediction . He even planned to borrow Asmodeus’ mouth to communicate his movements to the Demon God Emperor at the time he arrives, to relieve the Exorcist Mountain Pass from danger . That was a part of their plan .

While Long Haochen and the Dragon Rider Demon God where fighting ardently, the magical beast army was also reaching its last moments .

Only thirty of the over five hundred magical beasts were left, but all were reaching at least the seventh rank . Due to their onslaught, the Ox Demons’ ranks suffered terrible damage .

However, be it in attack or defense, Ox Demons were valiant opponents . Like elephants facing the bites of many ants, they showed no fear in front of the deadly attacks, and lessened unceasingly these magical beasts’ numbers .

Right at this time, a change suddenly occurred . From the rear of these magical beasts suddenly appeared a group led by a man wielding a bloody-red heavy sword . With a roar, he rushed out brazenly, as the heavy sword in his hand flashed out, lacerating several Ox Demons with the launch of his massive golden rays, rushing into the ranks of the demons like a sharp dagger .

Not only that, but two even more valiant figures broke out from the sidelines, glowing in silver light on the left side and golden light on the right side . Everywhere the silver radiance sprinkled, everything, be it the weapons in the Ox Demons’ hands or their bodies, was instantly reduced to pieces . In the meantime, a massive silvery glow of light producing ear-piercing wuu’ sounds flew out, ready to sweep past the Ox Demons .

Four more burst out after the first one .
