Just as Ice Celestial Corey and his group were turning a blind eye to Han Shuo and focusing their attention on getting rid of the Water Elite Zombie, Han Shuo, who had just hidden inside the stone wall using the Metal Elite Zombie's energy, suddenly shot out like a sharp sword.
"Watch out!" This time, it was Ice Celestial Corey who shouted.
The two mages who had been standing on the platform above the Ice Goddess statue suddenly felt an intense stench of bloodlust assaulting their noses. A sickening mist of evaporated blood instantly enveloped Han Shuo.
Knowing that Ice Goddess Corey finally saw the situation clearly after being reminded, Han Shuo realised that his evasive hit-and-run tactics had become useless. However, Han Shuo still wanted to buy more time for the Water Elite Zombie to absorb the energy. He wanted to intercept them at this crucial moment, even if it meant risking injury.
Of the group, the two mages standing motionless at the top were the weakest and yet could pose the greatest threat to Han Shuo. Now that Han Shuo had decided to confront them directly, the only target he could kill in the shortest amount of time was none other than these two mages.
Therefore, Han Shuo did not have the slightest hesitation. He suddenly shot out of the stone wall, deliberately displaying an imposing demeanour so that Ice Celestial Corey would know what he was up to, and that he had better temporarily give up on attacking the Water Elite Zombie.
This time, however, Ice Celestial Corey paid no attention to Han Shuo. After loudly shouting a reminder, he continued to charge towards the Ice Goddess statue. It looked as if he had actually sobered up from his madness and realised that having one godly existence was far more important than having two sacred magus.
This was contrary to Han Shuo's expectations. As the two mages hastily fled in fear, Han Shuo gave up chasing them. His body, high in the air, suddenly changed course. Carrying a cloud of blood formed by raging killing intent, he swooped down on Ice Celestial Corey and the others.
As things stood, Han Shuo had no choice but to fight head on. He could no longer use hit-and-run guerrilla tactics or hide behind the stone walls.
When Corey raised his head and saw the bloody cloud coming from above, he immediately understood that it contained energy that could destroy all things. His expression changed. The situation became clear to him at once. He suddenly swung his sword at the bloody cloud and shouted, "Frost Nova!
As if it had been planned for a long time, right after Ice Celestial Corey shouted 'Frost Nova', the eyes of the four sacred swordmasters beside him glowed with cold light, and they brandished their swords to meet the blood cloud's attack. Including Ice Celestial Corey's, a total of five energies from the mixture of combat aura and divine energy granted by the Ice Goddess suddenly began to converge on the bloody cloud.
These five energies collided with each other inside the bloody cloud, instantly creating a terrifying ice explosion inside the blood cloud. The ice explosion formed by the five energies was extremely violent, completely covering the clump of bloody cloud. It was simply too late for Han Shuo to escape. He was severely damaged in the ice nova.
"Hahahahah..." Corey howled with laughter, full of self-satisfaction.
Ice Nova was a secret technique of the Ice Shrine. It was composed of a mixture of divine energy from the Ice Goddess and combat aura. When several of them collided, it formed a large area ice blast. Those enveloped by the Ice Nova would be struck by terrifying icicles of unstoppable force.
After repeated rounds of defeat, Ice Celestial finally redeemed himself by using this secret technique. He was visibly pleased.
"Filthy Necromancer. I want to see how you escape this time," Ice Celestial Corey cackled as he and the four sacred swordsmasters beside him focused their attention on the slowly dissipating cloud of blood.
The bombardment from Ice Nova had dissipated the killing intent in the bloody cloud. Han Shuo's body slowly emerged from the bloody cloud.
All they could see was that Han Shuo's body was riddled with thousands of holes. His body looked like it had been pierced by hundreds of thousands of disembodied arrows, both large and small. His chest was split open into a large hole, and his internal organs were all exposed.
Han Shuo's appearance was now even more unsightly than a malevolent spirit, with not a single piece of intact skin on his body. The bombardment of 'Ice Nova' had left his body in a desolate state, the worst it had ever been.
Undoubtedly, Han Shuo had been severely injured by the Ice Nova. This secret technique of the Ice Shrine, used by a demigod expert and four sacred swordmasters, had severely injured Han Shuo!
Soon, Han Shuo's body was completely exposed. Suddenly, Ice Celestial Corey, who had been laughing his heart out, stopped laughing. The smugness on his face was replaced by shock and disbelief as he stared at the morbidly mutilated Han Shuo.
Han Shuo's body was riddled with holes. His internal organs were visible through the massive wounds. Yet not a single drop of blood flowed from them!
What was even more unimaginable to Corey was that the badly mangled flesh on Han Shuo's body was slowly wiggling, each of the wounds healing at a rate visible to the naked eye!
The sight was surreal!
In all likelihood, anyone who had seen such an eerie scene would have been as horrified as Ice Celestial Corey and his men, stunned and at a complete loss.
It was an instinctive fear of the unknown!
"What, what on earth are you?" Ice Celestial Corey, who had long unconsciously harboured an intense wariness towards Han Shuo, finally could not contain the fear in his heart and cried out, his voice trembling. He looked anxiously at Han Shuo who was standing in mid-air with thousands of wounds from head to toe that were strangely bloodless but were healing quickly.
Han Shuo forced a smile. He had indeed suffered serious injuries from this ice nova. However, during the split second when those icicles shot into his body, the extreme cold temporarily froze his blood. This allowed Han Shuo, who possessed an unusually brave physical body, to contain his injuries within an extremely short period of time.
With the circulation of Demonic Yuan, his muscle fibres absorbed and retained all of his blood. As a result, not an ounce of blood left his system after the frosty aura dissipated. Using his tenacious body, he quickly healed his wounds.
However, Han Shuo was indeed injured! And his injuries were not insignificant!
Since his body had been so badly damaged, the entire process of restoring his physical body would consume an enormous amount of blood essence and demonic yuan. Although the rapid healing process of Han Shuo's body was unimaginably grotesque in Ice Celestial Corey's eyes, Han Shuo had lost much of his firepower in battle.
However, that bitter smile on Han Shuo's sinister, hideous face, still riddled with bloody cavities, appeared to be a truly evil smile that could numb anyone's scalp. In the eyes of Ice Celestial Corey and his group, this was absolutely the most terrifying scene they had ever seen in their lives.
Han Shuo noticed the tremor in Ice Celestial Corey's voice. The smile on Han Shuo's face scared Corey and his party to death. Looking at the unimaginable Han Shuo, no matter how hard they tried, Ice Celestial Corey and his men couldn't make a mental connection between Han Shuo and a human being.
Han Shuo took the opportunity to quickly heal the heavy wounds on his body and let out a laugh that oozed ruthlessness and ferocity. He even took advantage of the situation and interspersed his laughter with Demonic Siren, a demonic skill that could deceive the heart.
As expected, the already cowardly Ice Celestial Corey became more and more terrified under the effect of Han Shuo's Demonic Siren. When he looked at Han Shuo's hideous appearance once more, Han Shuo seemed to have transformed into an ancient demonic existence, which unintentionally struck him, tearing apart his everyday disguise and revealing his demonic nomenclature.
"Which, which plane of existence are you from? The Ice Shrine is a religion of the Ice Goddess. What, what do you want?" one of the four sacred swordmasters suddenly shouted in fear and took a step backwards. This was partly due to the effect of the demonic siren, but it was also because they truly feared Han Shuo.
"Who, who the hell are you?" As he shouted, it seemed to serve as a reminder to the others, causing another sacred Swordsmaster to cry out in fear as well.
Looking at Han Shuo, who was still badly injured, Ice Celestial Corey seemed to have come to a sudden realisation. Thinking back to Han Shuo's brilliant skills that he had never seen before, he seriously thought that Han Shuo was not an existence from the Profound Continent at all. With that, the fear in his heart blossomed even more. His eyes began to flicker as he quickly considered his escape routes.
"We, we are the messengers of the Ice Goddess. You, don't mess around!" Finally, under the effect of the demonic siren, in addition to Han Shuo's strange behaviour, Ice Celestial Corey began to babble nonsense with a tremble in his voice.
At that moment, the Water Elite Zombie suddenly transmitted, "Father, I am finished!"
Han Shuo, who had been howling with laughter, turned his head to see that the naked young lady had been desiccated to a mummified state with no water content, her former beauty nowhere to be seen. The huge statue of the Ice Goddess suddenly collapsed as the Water Elite Zombie communicated telepathically. Starting from her head, she crumbled and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha... Hahaha..." The foolishness of Ice Celestial Corey and the others made Han Shuo laugh his head off. This time, the demonic siren was not involved.
"Boom!"
Above Han Shuo, elite metal zombie appeared out of nowhere and smashed his golden cudgel into the two bird-brained sacred magus who were also scared witless by Han Shuo. They were reduced to meat patties.
"Screw this! Whatever plane of existence he came from, we will fight him to the death!" As the statue of the Ice Goddess collapsed, Ice Celestial Corey went mad once again, ruthlessly charging at Han Shuo.
But at that moment, Han Shuo, whose body had been severely damaged, no longer tangled with the desperate Ice Celestial Corey. Still laughing loudly as before, he entered a tunnel that suddenly split open in the stone wall with the Water Elite Zombie and calmly left the Ice Shrine.
