Chapter 321: Between the Columns
"Break it for me-" Shen Hao used his arms vigorously, and the demon slaying giant sword in his hand slashed heavily to his feet with the momentum of opening the sky, only to hear a deafening loud sound, and the shell of the black dragon chariot as solid as iron and stone exploded, revealing a hole the size of a zhang. After turning around and slashing the apostles who were chasing after him with a sweep, Shen Hao jumped and jumped in through this gap.
There are many portals in and out of this castle-sized black dragon, and before Xin Suran and Xuning Zhenren had their own means, they each found a portal and rushed in. However, Shen Hao was one step behind, and by the time he landed, all the portals were already densely packed with enemies, most of them were ordinary apostle-level dragonmen, and there were not a few elite apostles who could match high-level nightmares.
It's not impossible to fight all the way with brute force, but Shen Hao also has a more convenient way, that is, to find another way, under the attack of his brute force and demon slaying sword, this level of building shell can't stop him at all.
Jumping into the interior of this black dragon castle, there was a deep corridor in front of it, and a small group of half-dragon guards who were patrolling rushed over to inquire and kill. However, such a small space made Shen Hao's giant sword have a more convenient killing effect, and it slashed five opponents into dozens of pieces with just one charge.
The roar behind him soon came, and the hole when Shen Hao invaded was dug and expanded by the angry pursuers, and a tall apostle-level dragon warrior had already penetrated half of his body. Shen Hao bent down and grabbed two tridents from the corpse of the dragonman guard, and threw them like javelins, the dragonman warrior who had reached into the gap with his upper body was shocked and angry, and wanted to retract his body to dodge, but behind it was crowded with more companions who tried to chase Shen Hao, not to mention retracting at this moment, he couldn't dodge a little bit. I could only watch as the two tridents pierced through its neck and left chest, one after the other, nailing its body to the cave wall.
The pain caused it to struggle and roar frantically, but its massive body became an obstacle blocking the entrance to the hole, making it unable to provide any help to its companions behind it. This is also Shen Hao's purpose, his current target is the Demon King's body hidden in the depths of this castle, and it is a meaningless act to waste time entangled with these inexhaustible apostles.
Dense footsteps soon sounded in the darkness on both sides of the corridor, and it was obvious that there were also many enemies who were outflanking here from the front and back, but Shen Hao had no intention of advancing along these unfamiliar passages, he moved his wrist, and slashed at the floor under his feet, and a new gap appeared in front of him.
Unlike the outer walls of the castle, the building structure here is much more fragile, so Shen Hao specially reduced the size of the passage when opening up the passage. These apostles are not like the Demon Body, basically their strength is proportional to their volume, so that the enemies who can follow them are bound to be relatively weak, and those enemies who are slightly stronger are often stuck in the gap, if they can't quickly dig out enough passages for them to pass through, Shen Hao doesn't need to consider their existence for the time being.
In this way, Shen Hao was chiseling through walls all the way, and his travel speed was extremely fast, but the pursuers behind him were chasing less and less, and chasing farther and farther. Soon, he was less than a hundred meters away from the place where the nightmare could react violently.
At a distance of one hundred meters, inside such a huge building, maybe only separated by a wall, Shen Hao raised his vigilance slightly, the flat end of the demon slaying sword, the tip of the sword pointed forward, and then the sword with a person slammed into the stone wall in front of him like a bullet.
"Boom-" A humanoid gap appeared in the stone wall in response, and Shen Hao's footsteps did not stop, and he continued to move forward with the momentum. In front of him was a large hall, much brighter than the corridors he had passed before. The expected sneak attack did not appear, and Shen Hao stopped and looked around carefully.
The hall is about 800 square meters in size, and the walls and floors are polished very smooth, and even the center of the hall is covered with a red carpet made of unknown materials. The hall is lit by torches, and the reason why there is enough light is naturally because there are many more torches. The hall is filled with columns of three people hugging each other, each with torches in all four directions, and although the sheer number of columns makes the hall look like a forest of stone pillars, the multi-angle lighting effect makes it difficult to find a shadow in the middle of the hall.
"Welcome to our palace, but you don't seem to be used to the welcome we have for you." Shen Hao had just stepped on the red carpet with the Demon Slaying Sword on his shoulder, and a gloomy laugh rang out from all directions. Shen Hao frowned, and his brand began to sting again, but this level didn't seem to be as strong as when he encountered the Gluttonous Demon King and the Angry Demon King before.
"You're not the Demon King of the Seven Sins?!" Shen Hao stopped and shouted in a deep voice.
"Tut-tut, of course not. Our esteemed Pride is busy entertaining a few other distinguished guests, so why don't we have a few of them with you first? Another shrill voice suddenly sounded, Shen Hao heard it really this time, the enemy who made the sound was behind his left, but across a large number of columns, Shen Hao did not see the other party's appearance clearly.
"Gora, Goron, don't be careless, this time the prey is very powerful, Lord Pride just let us hold him back for the time being." A hoarse voice came directly in front of Shen Hao, and Shen Hao looked up, and through the gap in the column, a humanoid creature wrapped in black chain mail, revealing only the face of an old man, was standing with its hands down, holding a strange-shaped weapon in each of its hands. The weapon was a bit like a scimitar used by the desert peoples of Earth, but it had two blades, front and back, and the handle in the middle of the two blades. Seeing the shape of this weapon, Shen Hao's pupils shrank slightly, this weapon is obviously not only good at hand-to-hand combat, but also a very high-quality throwing hidden weapon.
"Just three peak high-level nightmares want to stop me? Isn't it underestimating our human strength? After roughly sensing the strength of the nightmare energy in the opponent's body, and did not catch the fluctuation of the power of the rules from them, Shen Hao couldn't help but sneer. Now he can win even against a Super Nightmare with ordinary strength, and an opponent of the level of a high-level Nightmare has almost no value in challenging it. The elite apostles who had been hacked to death like melons and vegetables along the way before, in addition to their talent and combat intelligence, were all at the level of high-level nightmares in terms of the strength of their internal nightmares.
Although the real demon is much more difficult than the apostle, the opponent is only three-headed, so if he can survive more than three moves in his own hands, he is very worthy of the opponent.
"Boom, huh? Then you can give it a try......" As he spoke, the shrill voice suddenly disappeared from afar, and then a black shadow appeared silently from behind Shen Hao, and two pitch-black thin swords stabbed towards the back of Shen Hao's neck and lumbar vertebrae respectively.
Shen Hao snorted coldly, he had entered the battle form of the Golden Body Overlord at this moment, his strength and reaction speed had been pushed to the limit, although the enemy's sneak attack was extremely weird, but he did not get out of his sense at all. I saw that he was holding the sword in one hand, and his free left fist suddenly swung out behind him, and the air around him seemed to freeze for a moment, and then it burst like thunder, just a casual punch almost had the power to shatter the void.
The black-clothed enemy who sneaked up seemed to have expected Shen Hao's sharp counterattack, and the posture of the original forward rush suddenly retreated to the rear like a rewind, and the thin sword in his hand turned flexibly a few times, and the space stagnation driven by Shen Hao's punch was easily cut away, and his body was like a catkins in the wind, as if it was blown up with Shen Hao's fist, but he did not suffer any damage.
Shen Hao's eyebrows twisted into a pimple, his body turned along the strength of the punch just now, and the demon slaying sword in his right hand tore through the air, like a raging black python, slashing towards the black-clothed enemy who had not completely withdrawn from his attack range.
Shen Hao had noticed before that there were a large number of columns standing in this hall, and the distance between each column was less than three meters. Such a space would obviously have a great impact on his demon-slaying sword, which was more than a zhang long. However, Shen Hao didn't care too much, and still walked into this area with dense pillars, because he was confident that as long as he used his sword, these pillars and the enemy could only be killed at the same time.
Shen Hao's sword was a horizontal slash, and the blade first slashed on a pillar on his right side. The stone chips flew one after another, the pillar body shattered, and the stone pillar that was enough for three people to hug was cut out of a huge gap, and the momentum of the huge demon slaying sword did not decrease at all, and it continued to slash towards the body of the man in black.
Shen Hao's sword speed was so fast that people often forgot the terrifying weight of his sword body, and almost at the same time as the stone pillar shattered, the blade was already only a few feet away from the man in black. However, the black-clothed enemy once again showed his strange body style, and his body still flew in the opposite direction with Shen Hao's sword momentum as if it had no weight, and the distance of that foot did not break through at all in a short period of time.
Soon, the man in black floated another stone pillar, and the Demon Slaying Sword that Shen Hao followed did not avoid slashing into that stone pillar.
"That's not right!" Shen Hao's face changed, and he suddenly felt that his sword was not strong, and he actually failed to cut the stone pillar again, but stuck there stiffly.
......A series of vicious strange laughter sounded, and two black shadows silently stuck to Shen Hao, and the black-clothed enemy who had been forced to retreat before was also deceived again, and six bright blades stabbed towards the vital parts of Shen Hao's body.
"Get out of here!" Shen Hao exhaled, his left hand also held the hilt of the sword, and under the force of both arms at the same time, the stone pillar that was stuck in the Demon Slaying Sword exploded, and under the splashing of stone chips, the Demon Slaying Sword was like an enraged black dragon, and instantly erupted with extremely terrifying power. As if a black whirlwind rolled up on the flat ground, the four stone pillars around Shen Hao exploded at the same time, and the broken pillar body shattered into the tiniest particles under the crushing of the sword wind. Everyone's vision suddenly blurred.
