Chapter 320: A Fierce Battle! (III)
Li Hao didn’t say anything when he revealed himself. Fire shimmered over the Earthturner Sword and the young man seemed to transform into a deadly tiger. A tiger roar shook the four corners!
Cornered beasts still fight!
Cornered beasts could still battle the heavens. Fiery sparks illuminated the alley and sky as Li Hao struck with his sword. His spleen and heart erupted with scintillating radiance. All he wanted to do at this moment was kill. There was nothing else on his mind.
Mid Solar?
So what!
There was no time for Yu Xiao to talk, ask, or think why Li Hao was so strong. He manifested a green wooden sword with a howl and rushed the young man. He had to attack—it felt like a mountain surrounded him and the earth would swallow him! Although he wanted to leave, it wasn’t easy to manage at this stage.
Murderous supernatural energy exploded in the alley. Wood energy was very tenacious, but it could not withstand Li Hao’s blow. It shattered when the sword struck; the defenses of mid Solar seemed so inadequate in this moment.
The sword stroke of severing the self floated up in Li Hao’s mind, as did the struggles of the caged tiger from yesterday. Fury and madness appeared on the young man’s face.
A tiger rages in my heart and my sword knows no return! All of you guys deserve death!
He’d felt only admiration, pity, and a burning desire to win in the fight with Sun Moxian. He hadn’t felt such a strong killing intent. That had been a spar between martial masters, a fight to the death. These people in front of him did not deserve his respect or attention. What the hell were they worth?!
To sever the self!
Frenzied madness colored the tiger’s howl as resolution supported it. The Earthturner Sword broke the wooden sword with a massive impact. Li Hao rushed forward, moving earth and shaking mountains.
Yu Xiao saw a bloodthirsty tiger, one covered with wounds. The Earthturner Sword exploded into hundreds of fragments, each fragment a killing move.
Pfft!
Countless fragments abraded Yu Xiao’s face and body. Blood spurted out, wounds that were instantly healed by wood energy.
The Earthturner Sword had shattered. It’d shattered!
Yet, Li Hao didn’t mind. Hong Yitang had said that the sword was powerful, but it was just satisfactory to the young man. It was to be expected that it couldn’t maintain its integrity when used to deploy a blow at the Summoner level. Today, his sword intent was the primary focus, as was the tiger aura.
He utilized his hand as a sword next and punched like a tiger pouncing on prey. A tiger head reared at the tip of his sword. Li Hao didn’t seem to be differentiating between his sword intent and tiger aura anymore. He dashed forward, instantly closing the gap between the two, and pounded with punch after punch. He was in such a berserk frenzy that repeated eruptions of Yu Xiao’s mysterious power could not stop the blows.
Shock and despair filled the supernatural’s eyes. How was this possible?! Was this still a martial master?? How could there be such strong martial masters in the world apart from Yuan Shuo?! Yu Xiao was a mid Solar, but had almost no room to counterattack in close quarters. Li Hao’s battle style was so very similar to Yuan Shuo’s in that when he occupied the advantage and took the offensive, that was the beginning and end of battle.
He either beat the enemy to death or died himself!
Bam bam bam!
A hundred punches were delivered in a split second, each stronger than the rest. The Nine Forged Force exploded with the last punch, bringing the taste of death to Yu Xiao. He snarled and concentrated all of his wood energy in his chest. Keeping his identity concealed was now his last concern, he didn’t want to die!
He was a genius, a mid Solar. He sensed the terror of this punch! He could even sense a powerful presence drawing close to them. It was... Ole Huang!
Ole Huang is here! Did he follow me?
All thought went out of his head, he just wanted to live. Even if all of his secrets were exposed, he wanted to live. He cast his gaze behind Li Hao—Ole Huang was here. Peak Solar, save me!
The colleague who’d secretly followed him would now become his savior.Meanwhile, the man who’d just set foot into the alley looked at the scene with incredulity. He’d come very swiftly and rushed to the scene the moment that Li Hao’s sword qi erupted. He was very fast, taking only five or six seconds in total. That included the time he spent reacting, charging to the alley, and now staring in stupefaction. That was all he’d spent!
He’d dithered with a slight bit of indecision because Yu Xiao seemed to have a plan up his sleeve. Would it be appropriate for him to appear?
Hence, Ole Huang had been slightly delayed, but only by ever so little.
In this moment, he saw a fist like a tiger’s claws. It was also a sword, or a bit like the waves... What kind of boxing technique was this?? He only saw the punch shatter Yu Xiao’s mask, break his wood energy defenses, and run the man through!
Yu Xiao’s mouth opened and closed, as if crying out for help.
“Stop!” Ole Huang’s voice finally rang in the alley. He was livid, fearful, and also furious. Was that... Li Hao?! He just killed Yu Xiao!
Indeed, Yu Xiao’s chest had been punctured to the point where his heart could be seen. When it ruptured, Ole Huang knew that there was no hope for Yu Xiao. He wouldn’t survive this even as a wood powerhouse. Death was his only outcome!
A mid Solar Yu Xiao had been murdered right in front of him! Rage built in Old Huang, as did shock and disbelief. Was this a disguised Yuan Shuo? Was it Yuan Shuo in front of him and not Li Hao?
Granted, he wouldn’t be afraid even if it was Yuan Shuo. Yuan Shuo’s best battle accomplishment was late Solar Sun Yifei, whereas Ole Huang was a peak Solar.
A body fell from the sky with a loud bam! Li Hao looked back at a blonde man that’d just entered the alley. That was the one he’d discovered high up in the air, a presence overlooked by Yu Xiao. He’d come too slowly, far more slowly than the young man anticipated. The body descending from the sky was the wind supernatural from earlier. It wasn’t until now that the body fell to the ground.
Li Hao’s fist was covered in blood—some of it his, some of it Yu Xiao’s.
Drip, drip...
Blood dripped from his fist.
Ole Huang speared the young man with a sharp look of fury. “How dare you kill a Night Watcher!” he demanded harshly.
Hum!
Li Hao bounded up from the ground and rushed the newcomer. Peak Solar? That was very, very strong! But the fire in his heart hadn’t been extinguished yet. Since a new person had come, he didn’t need to bother leaving.
A sword appeared in Li Hao’s hand—a small sword. It wasn’t as lustrous as the Earthturner Sword. In fact, it was a bit tarnished—Stellaris. Blood and qi frothing, he infused the weapon with his mental strength.
The young man knew that in his regular condition, he was no match for this new opponent even after dominating Yu Xiao. He could at most match his teacher with one emerged spirit. It’d taken two emerged spirits for his teacher to barely kill Sun Yifei and he was heavily injured for it. The newcomer absolutely rivaled Sun Yifei. Thus, Li Hao would have to bring out the Incantation of the Blade of Blood.
But... so what if he did?
The Incarnation erupted and turned Li Hao into a ferocious tiger prowling in front of a backdrop of blood red.
The fire heart ape? was Ole Huang’s first thought. Yuan Shuo was most known for this move in his duel with Sun Yifei. But... why was this person a tiger instead? And was this the Incantation of the Blade of Blood that Yuan Shuo had used? The Night Watchers had record of this method, so was this person Yuan Shuo or not?
Li Hao arrived in front of Ole Huang as the man grappled with these two thoughts. He sneered. Do you think I’m Yu Xiao? A long spear manifested in front of him—a golden spear!
It stabbed forward with the cutting energy of the metal attribute. Countless holes pockmarked the walls on either side of the alley; the keen force nearly pulverized the structures.
Since Li Hao had sent his internal force into Stellaris, his own defensive capabilities were much reduced. Endless sharps of golden qi lacerated his body, dying his uniform a bloody red. The young man didn’t care! As a martial master, the only thing on his mind at the moment was to kill!
He slashed his sword forward, the struggles of that caged tiger resurfacing in his mind. If you don’t give me a way out, then I will not leave you a way to live either!
Humm!
Sword qi shot into the sky, but vanished as it was withdrawn just as quickly. Li Hao spat out a mouthful of sword qi and struck with Stellaris at the same time. The golden spear shattered with a bang!
When the Incantation of the Blade of Blood was combined with the indestructible sword, the terrifying power reached an ultimate peak despite Li Hao being weaker than his opponent. Sword light pulverized everything and pierced through Ole Huang’s shoulder.
The man had never seen such a terrifying person before! And not just in terms of strength, but also in terms of density of killing intent and sheer violence...
There was no greeting, no identification, no hesitation, no nothing. There was only bloodthirstiness in the other’s eyes, as if telling Ole Huang that to see each other was to kill each other. One of them would die, here and now.
Ole Huang managed to dodge slightly to the side, so only his shoulder was pierced. If he hadn’t been able to do that, it would’ve been his throat that’d been run through. Every move was a fatal one!
He wasn’t afraid, but it seemed highly likely that he would be injured if this continued. Heavy injuries were a distinct possibility and he might even die! Damn it, what did that bastard Yu Xiao do?! Was this person Li Hao or Yuan Shuo?
