In the distance, the Dawn of Light members hidden in the shadows couldn’t resist the urge to rush out, but Cai’er stopped them, “Believe in him, he can do it.”

“Ding!” A crisp collision sound rang out, and a scene that made everyone feel unbelievable appeared.

Facing Asmodeus’s powerful sweeping attack, Long Haochen actually abandoned the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield and only used the Aria of the Goddess of Light to meet the enemy. What was shocking was that the moment the heavy sword collided with the flag-spear, Asmodeus’s flag-spear was actually deflected by Long Haochen.

Yes, a scene that seemed impossible to everyone actually happened.

After Asmodeus’s flag-spear was struck by the Aria of the Goddess of Light, it seemed to find another path forward, sweeping over Long Haochen’s head. At this moment, Long Haochen instantly launched his attack.

He used a basic entry-level skill for a Retribution Knight: Thrust.

Golden light flickered, and the dazzling orange-red light blade burst out and retracted.

Asmodeus threw a left punch, meeting Long Haochen’s attack head-on, the ram-headed demon roaring. Another light “ding” sound.

Asmodeus, standing on the back of the Hell Dragon, actually swayed slightly. If anyone could watch from close range, they would notice a wound on his left fist.

Long Haochen’s deflection and thrust could only be described as exquisite. Moreover, after one strike, he didn’t stop. The four spiritual wings on his back burst out instantly. He seemed to no longer intend to hide his identity. His body flew backward, and Star King was taken back.

“Asmodeus, dare to compete with me in martial skills?”

Asmodeus never expected that this opponent, whose strength was obviously far inferior to his own, could actually injure his body. The most important part of Long Haochen’s attack just now was the deflection. He deflected the weakest point of Asmodeus’s flag-spear, where it was most difficult to exert force, without a head-on collision. Instead, he simply borrowed strength to change Asmodeus’s attack route and expose his opening. Being able to do this when the cultivation levels of the two sides were so different meant that Long Haochen’s application of skills could be said to have reached its peak.

However, the difference in strength between him and Asmodeus was too great after all. After the first sword was deflected, he couldn’t use sword intent in the second thrust. Otherwise, that thrust would definitely threaten Asmodeus to a greater extent.

“You dare to provoke me? You’re courting death.” Asmodeus roared angrily, tapping his toes on the back of the Hell Dragon and chasing Long Haochen like lightning. As he flew out, a strange scene appeared. The Hell Dragon, which had been his mount, instantly disintegrated, turning into pieces of bone armor that fell on Asmodeus’s steel body, instantly covering his entire body. Intense black flames burst out, and elemental properties other than dark elements in the air were being frantically driven away.

Although the Dragon Knight Demon God Asmodeus was angry, he would never underestimate his opponent. Long Haochen’s ability to injure him had already aroused his vigilance. He could naturally see that the Aria of the Goddess of Light in Long Haochen’s hand was not an ordinary weapon. It was not a wise choice to clash with such an epic heavy sword with his flesh.

The Hell Dragon transforming into armor was somewhat similar to the fusion of Haoyue and Long Haochen, but it was still inferior in terms of level. The fusion between Haoyue and Long Haochen was a kind of bloodline compatibility, while the Hell Dragon and Asmodeus were just a simple armor covering. There was an essential difference. However, even so, the coverage of the Hell Dragon armor greatly increased the ferocity of the Dragon Knight Demon God Asmodeus. A pair of huge bone wings flapped violently, and he caught up with Long Haochen almost instantly. The flag-spear in his hand transformed into countless black lights in the air, covering Long Haochen’s body. Even more terrifying was that countless black skulls poured out from the skull flag in his flag-spear attack, covering an even larger area. It looked as if he was about to devour Long Haochen in an instant.

Golden light flickered. Facing such a chase, Long Haochen stopped retreating. He still held the Aria of the Goddess of Light with both hands. In an instant, his whole body was covered by a layer of golden light. It felt like he was no longer a person, but simply a sword.

A sharp sword intent burst out instantly. Dazzling golden light burst out from Long Haochen’s eyes, and his body swayed seemingly erratically in the spear light.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…” In a series of crisp collisions, a mass of golden light was seen covered in a huge black light. It seemed to be struggling to break through, but the black light couldn’t get close to his body.

The Aria of the Goddess of Light was used by Long Haochen within a very small range. The tip of the sword constantly changed direction, and each deflection completely borrowed strength, never colliding head-on with the Dragon Knight Demon God Asmodeus. The flag-spear in Asmodeus’s hand was constantly being deflected to the side. As for those black skulls, they were directly purified by the golden flames rising from Long Haochen’s body.

Asmodeus’s eyes flickered with shock. He never expected that this opponent, who didn’t seem very strong, would have such superb skills. With his strength, he had a feeling of not being able to exert his full strength when attacking Long Haochen. Every sword strike of Long Haochen was targeting the weakest point of his attack, so that the flag-spear naturally changed direction and could not truly exert its attack power.

Once or twice could be said to be a coincidence, but how could it still be a coincidence when none of his strikes could truly collide head-on with Long Haochen in the face of his covering attack? It seemed that Long Haochen had an invisible eye that could instantly capture all his weaknesses.

In fact, even Long Haochen’s companions didn’t know that Long Haochen’s strongest ability was not offense, but defense. Although he was a dual-cultivation knight of Retribution and Guardian, don’t forget what he chose when his father asked him to choose.

For the past two years, Long Haochen has hardly practiced Retribution Knight skills, and all the skills he has chosen are Guardian Knight skills. Although he is using a sword to fight now, he is actually purely defending.

Back in Odin Town, when Long Haochen followed his father to practice, his first lesson was to face the extremely terrifying Nightmare Ants for him at that time. Facing thousands of Nightmare Ants in the ant nest every day, all he could rely on was the bamboo sword in his hand. If he couldn’t block the Nightmare Ants’ attack, it would be an extremely intense pain. At that time, Long Haochen had already begun to practice defensive skills.

Before Long Xingyu left, his skills had already achieved some success. Without using spiritual power, even Long Xingyu could not break into Long Haochen’s defense. Should this sword defense skill be considered a Retribution Knight skill or a Guardian Knight skill? In Long Haochen’s own mind, it was classified as the ability of a Guardian Knight.

Over the years, with the continuous improvement of his strength and a deeper understanding of martial skills, coupled with the training in the Eternal Tower, Long Haochen’s own martial skills are gradually becoming great. It is absolutely impossible for him to defeat the Dragon Knight Demon God Asmodeus with his current cultivation. But if it is just a competition of martial skills, it is not so easy for Asmodeus to overwhelm him with force.

Having learned from the previous lessons, Asmodeus did not even dare to attack with all his strength regardless of the consequences. He had already felt Long Haochen’s attack before. Once he revealed a flaw, he would face Long Haochen’s attack of body and sword as one.

Of course, Asmodeus had many ways to curb Long Haochen’s martial arts skills, but as a demon god focused on personal combat power, how could he not be delighted to see a hunter like Long Haochen? For a time, he was unwilling to use more powerful abilities to quickly destroy Long Haochen, but only used martial arts to compete with Long Haochen.

The black and gold in the air fought fiercely, but neither of them could do anything to the other. Long Haochen stubbornly restrained Asmodeus with his own strength. This was also the most important part of his entire plan. Only if he restrained the Dragon Knight Demon God could his companions smoothly carry out other plans.

Of course, what Long Haochen is showing now is not his full strength. He also has his trump cards. Asmodeus is the thirty-second-ranked demon god. Once he uses more powerful abilities, Long Haochen naturally has to reserve some strength to deal with it. At this time, he has already shown four wings and does not intend to hide his identity anymore. The Demon God Emperor predicted through the Star Demon God Vassago that he would come near the Exorcist Pass, so he came. He even planned to tell the Demon God Emperor his movements through Asmodeus’s mouth, so as to relieve the crisis of the Exorcist Pass. These were all in his overall plan.

Long Haochen was fighting fiercely with the Dragon Knight Demon God Asmodeus on one side, and the beast army on the other side had also reached its final moment.

Of the five hundred or so beasts, only thirty or so were left in the end, but they were all seventh-level or higher beasts. Under their left and right charges, the Minotaur Clan also suffered heavy losses.

However, the Minotaur Clan was quite powerful in both attack and defense. As the saying goes, ants can kill an elephant. Their fearless attacks were constantly reducing the number of these beasts.

At this moment, a change suddenly occurred. From under the bellies of the last few beasts, a few people suddenly emerged. The first one, holding a blood-red heavy sword, roared and rushed out bravely. The heavy sword in his hand flashed continuously, and several huge golden lights tore through the bodies of several Minotaur Clan members, like a sharp knife piercing into the demon clan’s formation.

Not only that, but two even more powerful figures erupted on his left and right sides respectively, silver light on the left and golden light on the right. As the silver light sprinkled, whether it was the weapons in the hands of the minotaurs or their powerful bodies, as long as they came into contact with the silver light, they would be instantly cut into pieces. At the same time, an even larger silver light flew out with a piercing “whoosh” sound, sweeping down a group of minotaurs.
