Xiao Cangshengâs face was hideous. No way! I have been undefeated all my life, so how could it be possible that I canât handle such a young suckling brat? Thatâs impossible!
He then stretched out his arm toward Chen Hao, his fingernails instantly extending into five long, black claws as he bellowed, âDie now!â
His attack was vicious, yet Chen Hao simply shook his head and gave a wry laugh. âThatâs boring,â
said Chen Hao. He then pointed at Xiao Cangsheng casually, shooting out a beam of golden light to counter Xiao Cangshengâs attack.
Both the golden and the dark beams of light instantly exploded with a loud bang as soon as they collided. The next second, Xiao Cangsheng was flying backward uncontrollably, like a kite with its thread broken; his mouth was gushing blood while the clothes covering his chest were ripped to shreds from the impact.
Struggling to hold back the excruciating pain all over his body, he gaped at Chen Hao in disbelief. âH-
How could this even be possible?â he growled.
He was deeply shaken by the seemingly casual blow from Chen Hao, which contained a multitude of forces that were strong enough to destroy both heaven and earth!
âWhat was the technique you used just now?â Chen Hao looked at him with a thin smile before continuing, âYou know what? I have sworn to spare no one who tries to kill me or threatens me, no matter what. Whoever does that will die a terrible death!â
âWhat? Please spare me, sir! Please show me mercy!â Upon hearing Chen Haoâs words, Xiao Cangsheng kowtowed repeatedly with tears all over his wrinkled face.
He had reached the stage of cultivation where merely a handful could reach, thus making him one of the top cultivators of the world; he had also gained a long life that others could never enjoy.
Therefore, as he faced the threat of death, he had the same kind of thoughts that people with his achievements would always have. I mustnât die like this after having been through so many hardships to achieve such stature!
Xiao Cangsheng was deeply regretful for his actions just now. How he wished he had never messed with such a fearsome being!
âHehe⦠I may be no saint, but I am not a cruel person either. Well, Iâll give you a chance to survive.
Hereâs one minute for you. Youâd better convince me why I should not kill you in as few words as possible.â Chen Hao stared at him with a smile.
âW-Well⦠Wellâ¦â Xiao Cangsheng rolled his eyes about, desperate to say something, but his mind went completely blank.
âTimeâs running out!â reminded Chen Hao.
âI-I⦠Goodbye!!!â Xiao Cangsheng suddenly raised his head and with a wave of his long sleeves, sent clouds of dust rolling toward Chen Hao, which dispersed and vanished at one meter away from their target.
It was precisely at this opportunity that Xiao Cangsheng escaped through the ground, vanishing without a trace.
Chen Hao couldnât help but shake his head. âItâs too bad that you seem to have missed your only chance to survive. You canât escape my spiritual sense as long as youâre still within a few hundred miles radius from me!â
He then pinpointed Xiao Cangshengâs position accurately using a bit of his spiritual sense. Just as he made a hand sign to cast a spell to kill Xiao Cangsheng, he suddenly heard the trees shaking in the forest some distance away.
âHelp! Please help us!â
It was a young man carrying a wounded girl on his back, shouting for help as he ran.
Both of them were blood-stained and clearly injured severely; the girl was in an unconscious state.
As it happened, the cries of help saved Xiao Changshengâs life indirectly, for Chen Haoâs attention was now turned toward the young man and the girl running in his direction.
As for Xiao Cangsheng, he would have been dead by now if Chen Hao had wanted him to die. The way Chen Hao saw it, it was nothing to be bothered about.
In a blink of an eye, the young man was here. He immediately fell to the ground with a thud, apparently weak from physical exhaustion. Yet, as he was falling down, the young man was still shielding the girl he was carrying with all his might.
Chen Haoâs eyebrows couldnât help but twitch slightly at the sight of them.
âPlease, sir! Please help us by making a phone call!â the young man shouted at Chen Hao, who was standing nearby. Then, he noticed the girlâs faint breathing and started shouting desperately, âMei! Mei, donât sleep just yet!â
Chen Hao saw the girlâs face under the moonlight as well. For some reason, her eyes looked strikingly similar to Tongxinâs at first glance, which made his heart skip a beat.
âTheyâre right ahead of us!â Just then, someoneâs yelling voices were heard, followed by a group of seven or eight people who approached and surrounded the scene.
All seven or eight of them looked burly and formidable. To Chen Haoâs surprise, all of themâincluding the young manâhad Inner Energy flowing in them, which was proof that they were all master practitioners of Inner Energy.
âIt looks like you canât run away anymore, Qin Yong! Now what, are you going back with us like a good boy, or do you prefer to be beaten into a cripple before we carry you back?â sneered the man who looked like their leader. Then, he added, âAs for your dear sister Qin Mei⦠Ho! What a pity! Hahaha! It looks like sheâs dying. Tell you what, I donât mind calling myself a pervert. Even if your sister is really dead, I can still have some fun with her while sheâs still warm! Hahaha!â
All the seven men raised their heads and burst into laughter at his words.
âYou bunch of bastards!â Qin Yong, the young man, clenched his teeth and glared at them with fury.
âQin Yong, you know what to do if you donât want your sister to become my plaything, donât you?â said the groupâs leader as he walked slowly toward Qin Yong.
Qin Yong continued shielding his sister as though he was ready to give his life for her. With great difficulty, he dragged himself slowly and stood in front of his sister, ready to get into a fight at any time.
Chen Hao, who witnessed everything from one side, couldnât help but feel his blood boiling upon listening to the manâs words. It was perhaps because the girlâs eyes looked so similar to Tongxin that Chen Hao felt that it was Tongxin whom they were talking about when they were speaking of the girl.
He walked slowly toward them with a deep frown on his face.
Only then did the seven men notice Chen Haoâs presence. âHuh? Who are you, you brat?â
âD*mn, it seems someone had let his manhood out! Get out of here unless you want to get into trouble!â cursed one of the men icily while pointing at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao ignored all of them as he walked over to the unconscious girl instead; her arms, chest and abdomen were bleeding profusely from knife wounds.
âIf you were a few more minutes late, then not even a deity would be able to save your sister!â said Chen Hao.
âWhat?â Qin Yongâs eyes reddened in an instant. As much of a man he was, he couldnât stop his tears from gushing down his face.
âWorry not, because youâre lucky to have met me!â said Chen Hao while flicking lightly at several acupoints on Qin Meiâs body.
As soon as he did that, her wounds immediately stopped bleeding and blood gushed back to her pale face.
Only then did Chen Hao turn sideways and look at the few people in front of him. He asked, âAll of you are Inner Energy practitioners, arenât you? Why are you out here killing people out of feud instead of focusing on your cultivation?â
âHo, it seems like this d*mn loser knows a lot! Youâre right. Weâre indeed Inner Energy practitioners, so consider yourself really lucky to die in our hands!â sneered the men in turn.
âInner Energy practitioners with proper cultivation can hurt their enemies just by using flower petals and leaves theyâve plucked, but you people obviously still have a long way to go!â said Chen Hao. Then, he continued, âDo you believe that I can do that?â
With that, a green willow leaf fluttered onto Chen Haoâs fingertips, as though it had fallen from the tree due to the strong vibrations brought about by his voice!
The seven men finally showed anger on their faces. âJust who on earth are you, brat? Who do you think you are to be able to hurt us with flower petals and leaves?â
âTake a close look then!â
Chen Hao flicked his fingers slightly, sending the willow leaf floating slowly into the air.
The seven men raised their heads and laughed upon watching this scene. âF*ck, is this fool trying to make us laugh?â
Qin Yong could not figure out what tricks Chen Hao had up his sleeves as well. He was worried for Chen Hao, as these seven men were not to be trifled with!
But in the next instant, everyone widened their eyes in bewildermentâ¦
