Chapter 207: Black Sword

Lin Hao also came from a Third Grade Country like the Azure Dragon Country. Not counting the Broken Sword, he only had a Profound Grade Sword with him which shattered like glass while fighting against the giant.

Now, he had no sword. Seeing so many treasures here, how could Lin Hao not be moved by these treasures after all some of these treasures were sword? What was more, all of these sword's rank was above Low-Grade Mystical Rank. 

There were more than a hundred people present. Each and every one of them stared ahead at the treasures here like wolves and tigers, emitting a greedy aura. Everyone's eyes were red because of their greed.

However, when Lin Hao calmed down, a question instantly surfaced in his mind. Why was it that even though more than a hundred people were gathered here, facing all these treasures in front of them, they were still watching helplessly?

Suddenly, he saw a young man executing his movement skill and running toward the treasures.

In an instant, his body had already swept past the magma river, but the moment his palm grabbed onto a weapon, two rays of flames suddenly spread out like snakes, igniting the body of the young man in an instant. Before that young man could even let out a scream, he was already burned into ashes!

"Hiss!"

Everyone clenched their fists as they drew in a breath of cold air. They were all flabbergasted as their hearts were pounding in fear!

Lin Hao was also shocked when he saw this, but there was still no trace of fear in his eyes.

After some time, another martial artist who was actually a good-looking young girl, instantly swung out a long whip from her waist, reaching towards a Mystical Rank Treasure.

The others all looked at the young girl's whip with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

The whip spread out for several meters but before it could reach the treasure, it was instantly burnt to ashes by the two flames.

The girl was so angry that her face turned ashen. She hurriedly threw the burned whip to the side, stomped her slender legs in succession, and then left hatefully, not wanting to stay any longer.

Lin Hao was dumbfounded once again. It turned out that not only was this forbidden area uncrossable by humans, but any object also couldn't traverse through it.

"Sigh! Looks like no one can take these treasures from here. I'll go and take a look somewhere else."

A fat young man sighed and walked away with his hands behind his back with some regret. His strength was at the Fourth Stage of the Martial King Realm!

Soon after, quite a few martial artists also shook their heads in regret and left with dim eyes. However, the majority of them still chose to stay behind and silently observed the situation. They were unwilling to leave just like that.

Everyone's mood was changing but Lin Hao was leisurely standing while Ye Xiao was still resting on his back. Lin Hao was behaving as if nothing had happened.

"Ye Xiao!"

Suddenly, Lin Hao heard a girl's voice calling Ye Xiao. He turned slightly and saw two beautiful girls looking at him. Both of these girls looking at him and Lin Hao.

"You are... Zhao Yufei, right?" Lin Hao looked at the two girls in front of him and asked one of them.

"Yes, I am. Who are you and why is Ye Xiao unconscious?"

"Sigh! This is a long story and I don't have time to tell you about it. You just need to know that I am his friend and will never harm him!" Lin Hao answered emotionlessly.

Zhao Yufei and the girl beside her who was actually her blood sister, Zhao Qing'er, both looked at Lin Hao strangely. It was the first time when someone was this emotionless even after seeing them.

Although Zhao Yufei has stayed in the Azure Dragon Country for a long time, she never met Lin Hao and so she was unable to recognize him.

Lin Hao's expression did not change, he ignored the two ladies and glanced at the crowd indifferently. His eyes revealed calmness and confidence as he said, "All the people here are so-called geniuses but they can't even tell that there is a rule within this area."

"Hmm?" Everyone was startled. They looked at Lin Hao in doubt. One young man gritted his teeth and snorted, "Brat, you are full of nonsense. I think you're just courting death!"

"None of your business!" Lin Hao looked at that young man and replied coldly.

"You... Hmph!" That young man was immediately infuriated but still, he was able to endure. He did not say anything.

"Can you help me take care of him for some time?" Seeing the reaction of that young man, Lin Hao smiled then he looked at Zhao Yufei and asked.

Zhao Yufei nodded her head and said, "Don't worry, I will. I and Ye Xiao can also be considered as friends!"

Lin Hao nodded his head and put down Ye Xiao in front of Zhao Yufei. Then, under the eyes of everyone, he picked up a few stones, stood up, and threw them towards the seven rows of iron frames.

"Whiz!"

The first stone was slow and was directly smashed into pieces by a bolt of lightning in mid-air.

"Whiz!"

The second stone, which was a little faster, was turned to ash in one hit.

Everyone watched quietly, they did not know what Qin Yang was thinking, and even Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er were filled with suspicions.

Qin Yang's expression did not change, he once again threw a stone towards the seven rows of iron racks with all of his strength.

Sou!

That stone shot toward a treasure with an amazing speed.

Ding!

This time, no fire appeared to stop the stone in its path. The stone directly collided with the treasure that Lin Hao aimed at. Ripples appeared on the surface of that treasure and the stone slowly fell into the magma river, disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, everyone opened their eyes wide, looking incomparably flabbergasted. When they looked at Lin Hao again, there was even an additional hint of reverence in their eyes.

They all understood what Lin Hao was trying to show them.

Lin Hao showed this to all the people not because he was a fool, but because if he were to take all the treasures alone, he will attract the attention as well as greed and hatred of everyone, and then there will be only trouble waiting for him in the future.

Although he was not afraid of the troubles, he also not wanted to find trouble without any reason.

Under everyone's attentive gaze, Lin Hao continued with his own experiments.

Next, he tightly gripped the three stones in his hand and aimed his sharp eyes at the three metal frames. With a loud shout, he threw out those stones with his full strength, and the three stones shot out like arrows.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This time, the three stones passed through the magma river like shadows, directly smashing into the three treasures: a saber, a sword, and an armour.

Without any exception, the three stones slowly fell from the top of the metal frame and melted into the river after colliding with the three treasures.

"Did you see that?" Lin Hao indifferently swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "This trap is here not because it was left here by someone so that you cannot breakthrough, but to see if you have the ability to break through it. Each row of iron racks has different speed restrictions. As long as you are fast enough, you can pass the checkpoint and obtain the treasure."

After saying this, he calmly swept his eyes over the treasures on all of the iron racks. There were spears, swords, halberds, and all sorts of weapons. He was attracted by a sword. Its blade was dark black in colour and a chilling aura was emanating from it.

Lin Hao's eyes revealed a sharp glint, he slowly moving his feet, gathering all of his spirit energy on his feet.

Then he stomped his feet on the ground and like a gust of wind, he shot forward with an incredible speed. His speed so fast that he seemed to be formless, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Everyone was dazzled by his actions.

So fast!

Lin Hao was like a gust of wind. In an instant, he covered the distance between him and that black sword as he stepped lightly on the iron frame.

At that instant, everyone revealed expressions of surprise.

Lin Hao casually grabbed the black sword and pulled it out. Then he once again jumped out of the trap area like the wind in an instant and landed on the ground.

Only then he took a deep breath as if he has arrived at a safe zone where there was no danger.
