The whole venue started roaring the instant he kneeled.
What?! This evil cultivator, Xiao Cangsheng, had not even attacked him, yet he was kneeling before this young man already?
How could this be?
Xiao Cangsheng was a Third Tier Cultivator who had extraordinary strength, so who exactly was this young man?
There was a huge uproar among the crowd.
Wan Xue did not see this coming as well.
It was then when she saw Chen Hao calmly walking toward her with his hands in his pockets.
She felt an immense aura shrouding her, or to be more exact, it hovered over everyone in the Underground Level; this aura seemed to have made everyoneâs heart race, including Wan Xueâs.
Gui Shiliu was surprised to see Xiao Cangsheng kneel. His eyes were twitching heavily as he stared intensely at Chen Hao.
âA few days ago, I said I would kill you. You werenât obedient enough to wait for me to kill you off and took the chance to escape when I was distracted while saving someone else.â
Chen Hao pulled his hand out from the pocket and touched Xiao Cangshengâs head, as if he was punishing a little kid.
âDear God, I was wrong! I shouldnât have run away!â Xiao Cangsheng wailed, bursting into tears straightaway.
âYou are being very discourteous. If I were to take away someoneâs life, how could he ever escape?â
said Chen Hao as he laughed.
âGod, w-what you said is true!â Xiao Cangsheng was trembling all over.
Chen Hao ignored him. Instead, he turned around to take a glance of his surroundings.
He then said calmly, âEverybody, on behalf of the Qin Family, I will fight for the right to rule today.
Should anyone be displeased with this, you are welcome to challenge me!â He then hit the back of his own head and added, âOh, for those who are discontented, you don't have to come at me one by one.
You can challenge me all at once!â
With that, Chen Hao put up a friendly smile.
âDamn it!â
âHeâs way too sure of himself!â
The crowd below the stage was shocked.
Who really is this person?
However, no one dared to raise any objection and they all stayed silent.
âHmph! Brat, you are wildly arrogant! Do you not know that I am Gui Shiliu from the Guihai Sect?â Gui Shiliu went ballistic.
Chen Hao did not treat him like an opponent at all.
âWell, now I know it, because you just said it yourself,â answered Chen Hao cheekily.
âYou idiot!â Gui Shiliu was absolutely furious.
âHmph! How shameless! Master Gui, show him no mercy! Execute this arrogant brat with everything youâve got!â Li Feilong yelled madly.
This man had gotten so far as to publicly challenge them and wanting to take over the right to rule over them! He was practically putting his head in the lionâs mouth!
âBrat, I shall show you the true strength of the Guihai Sect today!â
It was at that moment when Gui Shiliu drew his sword.
The Sword Ray that slid past Chen Hao was even stronger this time as Gui Shiliu used his techniqueâ
Ultimate Skill of the Guihai Sect: 13 Forms of Water Interception!
Its first slash could intercept the flow of water and the second could slash oneâs Hun or spirit, while the third slash could completely destroy oneâs Po or physical being!
As for Gui Shiliu, he had mastered the skills to that state where he could unleash all three slashes within one strike.
With a slash of the Sword Ray, oneâs Hun and Po would be destroyed in an instant!
Wan Xue glimpsed at Chen Hao anxiously, worried that he would be in danger.
He had always been the guy who really made her heart race after all; on this day, he seemed to be the real expert here.
That was why Wan Xue was feeling complicated when she looked at Chen Hao then.
Whoosh! Everyoneâs eyes went wide when they witnessed Gui Shiliu giving his deadly blow, but Chen Hao merely had one hand tucked in his pocket while raising the other, easily stopping Gui Shiliuâs blade with a light pinch between his fingers.
âWhat?â Gui Shiliu was astonished. He tried jerking it out of Chen Haoâs hold, but it wouldnât budge at all.
âWhat ultimate skill is this? What is the Guihai Sect?â Chen Hao asked nonchalantly.
âYouâ!â Gui Shiliu exerted every ounce of strength he had but he just could not move an inch.
âImpressive! You are stronger than Iâve imagined!â Gui Shiliu let out a laugh instead in his fury.
âOh? Does that mean you have another ultimate skill?â asked Chen Hao, feeling slightly astonished after looking at the expression on Gui Shiliuâs face.
âBlazing Blade!â
Gui Shiliu shut his eyes suddenly. When he opened his eyes once again, a raging blaze emerged from his eyes.
His blade was torched thoroughly with a burning flame.
Unfortunately, just when the flame was about to burn Chen Hao, there was a hissing soundâ the flames had been extinguished in an instant.
âHow is this possible?â Gui Shiliuâs eyes were wide open.
The young lad before him had left him in utter disbelief.
Chen Hao was also aware that if he continued grabbing Gui Shiliuâs blade, the latter would not tell him what he wanted to know.
Thus, Chen Hao then released his blade, causing Gui Shiliu to fall backward.
Swish!
Just then, the sound of seven people moving swiftly could be heard coming from the Li Familyâs position, followed by seven silhouettes emerging from the dark that surrounded Chen Hao straightaway.
âMaster!â the seven individuals yelled.
These seven individuals were masked and they were all dressed in ninja suits.
They were holding steel blades in their hands with overwhelming killing intent.
âMister, do you really want to go against us, the Guihai Sect? You should know that the magical site at Mount Taiwu is really important to the Guihai Sect. If you insist on taking over the right to take control, you will be offending the whole Guihai Sect!â Gui Shiliu stood back up, giving Chen Hao a warning.
âI see⦠â Chen Hao nodded as if he had something in mind.
âHaha, what is it? Are you scared now? Why donât you take a seat and let us all be friends?â Gui Shiliu walked a few steps forward.
Chen Hao sighed and shook his head. âYou shouldnât have said that!â
Gui Shiliu stopped in his tracks. âHuh? What do you mean, mister?â
âInitially, I only wanted to drive you off and get some information about your sect and your cultivation path. It was simple as that. However, you tried to threaten and intimidate me just now!â said Chen Hao.
âSo what do you want? Do you really have no idea of the superiority of the Guihai Sect?â Gui Shiliu felt very uneasy.
âSince youâve threatened me, you will need to pay the price with your life! You didn't have to die in the first place!â exclaimed Chen Hao, still having one hand in his pocket.
âYouâ!â A trace of pure fury flashed across Gui Shiliuâs eyes.
He grasped tightly onto his blade while Chen Hao flicked his finger.
Pow! Pow! Gui Shiliuâs kneecaps were instantly penetrated.
He screamed loudly in pain, instantly kneeling in front of Chen Hao.
Those who surrounded Chen Hao raised their swords and began attacking.
With a wave of his hand, a ring-shaped ray of light with Chen Hao at the center started spreading out toward his surroundings.
In an instant, the seven individuals were sent flying backward like little sheep.
âPlease spare me!â Gui Shiliu begged.
He had only realized why Xiao Cangsheng had kneeled to him when he met Chen Hao.
He was completely powerless before Chen Hao! He could only feel a sense of incapability when facing the latter.
âThe Guihai Sect is a great, mysterious sect from Japan with thousands of years of history. There are many experts there, so Master, there is no need for you to provoke the Guihai Sect!â said Gui Shiliu hastily.
âI disagree. Since I want to take over the right to take control, am I not already provoking the Guihai Sect? I believe that the Guihai Sect will come looking for me to get even with me, right?â said Chen Hao.
âIndeed. Therefore, if you hand over the right to take control, I will request the Guihai Sect to spare your life!â said Gui Shiliu anxiously.
âI think you still don't understand what Iâm trying to say. Since Iâve already offended a person, I might as well do it thoroughly. This is my style of dealing with matters. You are going to die here. If the Guihai Sect comes looking for trouble, I will kill them all off, for only then will I feel satisfied!â
Fixing his gaze onto Gui Shiliu, Chen Hao reached out one of his hands.
A beam of light was unleashed before it condensed to form a pair of huge palms that directly grabbed hold of Gui Shiliu.
Chen Hao clenched his fist.
Splatter!
There was a bloody sceneâGui Shiliu had instantly become minced flesh.
âAh!â The gruesome scene triggered the entire crowd to start screaming in horror...
