Chapter 771: Incredible (III)
“Very good, then we’ll have to trouble the Sky Roc King. Once this succeeds, we’ll all sell some Water of Life at a low price to the king!”
Amusement appeared in the bird’s eyes. Did they think it was that careless?
That wasn’t the truth; it was simply confident that its defenses wouldn’t be easily pierced through. It was also a bird with extreme speed—nothing would happen to it!
What it wanted was a promise like Qian Wanhao had just given. It barreled out of the defensive circle and vanished in the blink of an eye. It was enormous, but it was so fast that the group couldn’t see its shadow.
Too fast!
Li Hao was ready to take action when he blinked with astonishment. Fucking hell! Where did this fool come from to wreck his plans? It was just as his teacher said, plans were useless when the strong fought. Everything was a function of adjusting to the circumstances. Change easily rendered all arrangements null and void.
I had it all perfectly planned out...
His ideas were suddenly in shambles! Li Hao set his jaw with some fury. A red light flashed through his eyes, looking onto the Sky Roc King hurtling through the sky. It was so fast that its sharp claws were very close to the young man. Li Hao glared at it with irritation.
“Are all monster spirits this idiotic??”
A sword manifested in the air and three written characters hovered in the void in an unexpected fashion. Across the way, Qian Wanhao blinked. The ultimate art of Tranquil Star? It was... very strong, but only relatively speaking. It was useless against true powerhouses as modern times were different from when the method was conceived.
“Lifeless!” The characters vanished into the sword. Li Hao struck!
Fire, water, wind, and thunder erupted soundlessly. Four elements exploded in the blink of an eye, alongside a domineering aura!
The sword traveled so quickly that the Sky Roc King didn’t sense any energy ripples, but it did register the threat of death. The look in its eyes shifted and a white bone appeared in front of it. Indeed, a bone!
It was from the skeleton of the ancient monster spirit and durable beyond compare. This was one of the reasons why the bird king was so confident. Its speed was incredible, as were the bone’s defensive capabilities. It whisked out the bone even faster than it was traveling, but Li Hao vanished in the next instant. A prodigious threat emanated over his head.
Clang!
The sky roc screeched a metallic cry. Before the powerhouses of the four directions could react, Li Hao flashed by like a shadow and pierced through the massive golden head with his sword!
He vanished; when he reappeared, he was already slamming his sword down on the people in front of him.
“Kill!!” roared the young man. Hong Yitang and the others immediately appeared and made their moves as well. Light faded away from the Sky Roc King’s eyes as its ponderous body slammed to the ground. A dog opened its mouth and swallowed the enormous monster spirit king whole; because the latter was dead!
“Impossible...” Qian Wanhao couldn’t believe his eyes. Roaring, he let loose with four elements. A weapon that looked like a gold coin appeared in his hand and blocked Li Hao’s swing with a loud crash.
BOOM!
Qian Wanhao took a step back, Li Hao stumbled a small step back. Rumble echoed behind them as explosions detonated continuously! Hou Xiaochen and Sky Sword shouted, erupting with force and rushing out. When the dust cleared, they saw that Li Hao had forced back Qian Wanhao with one blow and Earthturner Sword killed the Stable Mountain Prince with one stroke!
The two pulled up short, what was going on here? Had two premier powerhouses died, just like that? They were yet to finish collecting their senses when Qian Wanhao roared, “Please aid us, plant spirits!”
He flung out a storage ring that exploded—an action followed by many others. Everything was happening too quickly! Two on their side were dead before they even knew what happened!
As storage ring after storage ring exploded, mental strength flooded the premises. Shadowy forms filled the air. There was a rose, a massive willow tree, a sunflower, a bush of thistles or brambles, and something that looked like a coconut tree.
Five plant spirits were on the scene. Their transparent roots extended into the world, seeming to both be deploying abilities and simply absorbing energy from the surroundings.
The plant spirits weren’t in a hurry to take action. “It’s nice to get a breath of fresh air since we’re here.” Mental ripples traveled through the air. “Why hide away and be reluctant to expend this bit of core origin power...”
“That’s true!” Laughter rang through the air as a redwood tree and another massive tree emerged. That made for seven plant spirits present, hailing from the nine ministries apart from the Inspectorate and Finance. Although Mu Hai wasn’t present from Internal Affairs, he still sent someone with a replica of his ministry’s plant spirit.
Seven terrifying beings filled the air with domineering presences, instantly surpassing the late Sky Roc King and even the four element Qian Wanhao. The man heaved a sigh of relief!
They’d truly invested a great deal to kill Li Hao—seven plant spirits! These plant spirits were just core origin replicas, with some not even worthy of being called replicas since they were so weak. Each one of them, however, possessed the strength of five elements. Any one of them was an invincible existence in this day and age. Seven had appeared all at once!
Even Qian Wanhao felt that they were using a butcher’s knife for cows to kill chickens. But thankfully they’d overestimated Li Hao, resulting in such a thorough mobilization of their resources. They might truly have suffered some losses otherwise. The kid was terrifying! Both he and Hong Yitang were four element Arcanus and they could still use the auras of a martial master. That was unbelievable!
Qian Wanhao relaxed with the assurance of victory.
Within the crowd, Hu Mingfa from the Ministry of the Judiciary shouted, “Li Hao, do you think you’re still in the outside world? You’ve hidden yourself well, but so what of it?”
A four element Arcanus!
No one had imagined that possibility; they thought he was a three element at most. But here he was, much stronger than he anticipated. This rate of improvement was horrifying!
Various expressions flickered rapidly through the faces of the powerhouses here to kill Li Hao. The lord of Buddha Mountain, in particular, looked on gravely. He was here for revenge, but who knew that this would be what awaits them? Thank goodness they were fully prepared, or they would’ve truly lost everything.
The expedition was so strong, but Li Hao’s group had killed two of theirs right beneath their noses!
