Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2857: Chapter 2858: Shadow Guard

Then, above the King of Huainan, a strange space slowly opened. Clearly, this was to prevent the strong warriors’ battle from affecting the innocent cultivators, so this space was opened with the intention of having the battle occur within it.

However, those strong warriors were now in a frantic state, and they immediately attacked the King of Huainan.

Ye Luo realized, if he didn’t escape now, was he just going to wait for death?!

”Your Highness, I’m going ahead!”

After saying that, without waiting for the King of Huainan to speak, he quickly slipped away.

If surrounded by so many strong warriors, his only path would be death! Even if he barely escaped, he would be left half-dead!

At this moment, the King of Huainan’s expression turned stern, and suddenly, his aura exploded.

Ye Luo had just returned to the crowd, suddenly looking at the King of Huainan in astonishment.

Was this his true power? Ye Luo had no concept of his current cultivation, only knowing he was strong, stronger than those strong warriors attacking him!

It seems the King of Huainan’s pride lay not in his tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but in his power.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a massive energy shockwave swept down from the sky.

Ye Luo didn’t have time to watch and rushed out immediately.

Fortunately, those nobility and princes, seeing the situation turning bad, fled quickly, otherwise they would have suffered heavy losses.

Ye Luo’s speed was naturally fast, and behind him, screams could be heard from time to time. Very few affected cultivators survived.

Even if Ye Luo got affected, it wouldn’t lead to death, but it would certainly be unpleasant.

Once he got down the mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he notice that those nobility hadn’t left in panic but stayed at the foot of the mountain, their faces full of worry!

It wasn’t just them; the high-level figures of major forces also remained, clearly aware that if the King of Huainan fell, they wouldn’t escape demise!

Counting on those old bastards to give them a way out? That’s harder than ascending to heaven.

But the mood among them grew heavier. Just with one strike, the King of Huainan was already bleeding in midair; no matter how strong he was, how could he withstand such a siege!

”King of Huainan, if you keep underestimating us, just two more strikes, and we will surely take your life. And what about that old hound by your side? Why hasn’t it appeared!”

As soon as an elder spoke, the shadow slowly appeared next to the King of Huainan.

”Fine, today I’ll send you off!” the strong warrior roared, about to take action!

But the King of Huainan chuckled, ”Did you never wonder why my true self is appearing today?”

Upon hearing this, the strong warrior’s hand stopped in midair, furrowing his brows.

The King of Huainan was notoriously cunning. These strong warriors had besieged him more than once, but each time, they only eliminated one of his incarnations or a substitute. But why did his main body appear now? Was it just because he had little time left?

No, the strong warriors became alert one by one.

The King of Huainan’s power didn’t seem like it was waning; at the very least, he hadn’t reached his end yet!

Of course, what they were wary of now wasn’t the King of Huainan’s strength. No matter how strong he was, how could he be stronger than the combined attack of many strong warriors?

They feared the King of Huainan’s strategy!

This had led them to suffer countless losses before.

”Enough talk, let’s kill him first. Before true strength, any schemes are powerless!” laughed the short man with a comical appearance.

But at that moment, flashes of light suddenly appeared around, clearly showing space power was surging, meaning someone must have teleported in.

Who could it be?

Then, these strong warriors were shocked.

Over a dozen shadows appeared around, identical to the one beside the King of Huainan!

”Shadow Guard, how is this possible? Didn’t all the Shadow Guards perish when you ventured deep into the Demon Race, leaving only this old hound?” one strong warrior widened his eyes and shouted immediately.

A single Shadow Guard might not be as strong as them, but the problem was, there were over a dozen! And with the King of Huainan, the situation instantly reversed!

Now don’t even mention killing the King of Huainan; escaping unharmed was a big challenge.

The Shadow Guard of the King of Huainan instilled fear in all the Demon Realm’s powers. It was thanks to the Shadow Guard that the King of Huainan dared to storm into the Demon God’s Hall!

The reason the King of Huainan could centralize power to such an extent was also due to the Shadow Guard’s contributions.

How these Shadow Guards appeared was a matter of much speculation. The most common theory was that the King of Huainan received an ancient heritage, and these Shadow Guards were part of that heritage.

Of course, the King of Huainan certainly wouldn’t disclose such a secret.

At this point, those strong warriors’ faces grew exceedingly grim; they exchanged glances and then made a decision!

They weren’t fools; knowing they couldn’t assassinate the King of Huainan, why stay to get slaughtered by him?

The dozen or so Shadow Guards had already lunged at them.

The Shadow Guards were formidable, not only in strength but also in their capacity to withstand damage. Even these strong warriors found it incredibly difficult to annihilate one Shadow Guard!

But quickly, it became impossible for outsiders to see the ongoing battle. This time, the dispersed power was even more violent. Previously, those strong warriors hadn’t used all their strength while besieging the King of Huainan, but now escaping without their full strength would be seeking death!

Ye Luo had to activate his Clairvoyant Eye to observe this epic battle.

”Wow, even a Shadow Guard got dispersed! These old guys are pretty tough!” Ye Luo watched in astonishment as a Shadow Guard was reduced to a smoky mist under the joint attack of two elders.

But in the next moment, the Shadow Guard reappeared not far away, albeit much weaker and its strength greatly diminished, but without hesitation, it charged in again.

This made Ye Luo’s scalp tingle; how could they fight this? It was like trying to kill an unkillable cockroach!

Before long, one of the strong warriors was heavily injured and surrounded by several Shadow Guards. Ye Luo wasn’t sure of the exact injuries but was certain he had suffered critical damage!

This battle was growing increasingly brutal, with both sides unleashing True Fire!

Yet Ye Luo noticed, the King of Huainan was always observing, his gaze drifting among those strong warriors!

Seeing this, an icy chill crept up Ye Luo’s spine. Clearly, the King of Huainan had developed a murderous intent towards them!
