C101

As the giant bear swiped its palms, the weather immediately changed. Violent winds surged, like a tsunami, like a tide. Its aura was extremely frightening, and just its might alone was enough to squash anyone under the Soul Condensation Realm.

"Soul Condensation Realm!"

Many people cried out in surprise. Their expressions were terrified as large beads of cold sweat rolled down their foreheads. However, they didn't bother to wipe them away as their bodies were completely drenched in cold sweat.

The soul beasts of the Soul Condensation Realm were able to kill everyone in an instant. Luo Hao only had the Peak of the eighth level of Soul Nurturing Stage, he was simply no match for them. The ones to be killed next were them, how could they not feel terrified?

"Kill him. Kill him."

Lu Qin muttered in his heart, he had already forgotten that if Luo Hao was truly killed by the giant bear, he would not be able to survive, and the only thought in his mind was to personally witness Luo Hao being smashed into meat paste by the giant bear.

"Big brother, you can do it! You'll definitely be able to do it!"

Zhao Tong bellowed, his hands gesticulating as though he was chopping off the head of a beast.

Luo Hao was in the air and was not affected by the giant bear's Qi. When his body landed within a range of attack, the Heaven Swallowing Sword in his hand silently came out, and instantly, a cold light filled the sky.

Even though they were far away, they found it difficult to open their eyes. Their minds had been affected and they were scared out of their wits, which frightened everyone so much that they started to operate their martial arts to defend themselves.

As a mutated soul beast, the giant bear sensed a deep threat from Luo Hao's attack. It roared continuously and withdrew its palms, wanting to retreat, but it was too late.

The bear's body was cut open by the Heaven Swallowing Sword, from its neck down to its abdomen. Blood spurted out like a fountain as the giant bear cried out in pain, wanting to use its palm to close the wound on its chest to prevent its internal organs from leaking out. Unfortunately, the wound was too long, and it couldn't cover its body from falling down.

"Aooo!"

The giant bear roared, and ignored the injury. Like an old tree stump, it moved its legs, and then pounced towards Luo Hao, who was not far from its left.

Luo Hao was shocked, he could still launch an attack even if he did not die. He immediately became nervous, the strike just now had drained all of his energy, and the current him was just like a normal person. Any warrior could capture him, let alone a Soul Beast that was as strong as a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator.

"Don't you dare hurt my big brother."

Zhao Tong's voice sounded out beside Luo Hao's ears, following that, another person appeared in front of him. It was none other than Zhao Tong, who was channeling his energy, striking out with his palm, striking towards the giant bear that was about to die.

"Bam!"

If it was a giant bear at its peak, Zhao Tong's attack would only scratch it as if it were an itch, and wouldn't be of any use at all. Only at this time, the giant bear had already been castrated by Luo Hao, and its strength was around one in ten, so not only did it stop its advance, it had also retreated a few steps. With a howl, it fell to the ground like a mountain had fallen, and after struggling for a while, it lost its life, and died completely.

"Big Brother, are you alright?" Slap, didn't I just ask for nothing? How could there be anything wrong with a silly bear? "

Zhao Tong answered his own question, and even gave himself a slap in the face. It was very loud, and as he did not trust Luo Hao's words, it was his own punishment.

"It's fortunate that you came, brother, otherwise I really would have been in trouble."

Luo Hao said with a smile.

In fact, even if Zhao Gao didn't come, Luo Hao would still be fine. If he didn't use his palm to repel the giant bear, he could still avoid the attack.

Because, when he swung out that sword, Luo Hao had already threw the Soul Nurturing Pill in his palm into his mouth. When the giant bear pounced, a portion of the medicinal pellet had already turned into energy to recover his strength, which was enough for him to dodge.

The reason he said that was to give Zhao Tong a hint, to let him know that he himself had the ability to protect others and increase his confidence.

As expected, when Zhao Tong heard Luo Hao's words, his face flushed red, he rubbed his hands together and became embarrassed, "When big brother is in trouble, little brother will protect you with everything he has, I did not think too much about it."

Luo Hao patted Zhao Tong's shoulder, then walked over to the dead giant bear and swiftly cut open its head. Surprisingly, there laid a bright and translucent Soul Crystal with traces of blood.

"Soul Crystal!"

Zhao Tong was shocked, his heart was moved, and his lips unconsciously licked.

As a son of a Venerable family, he naturally knew how precious and rare Soul Crystal were. There was a market that was priceless, and even if he said that he wasn't moved, it was fake, but he had still forcefully suppressed his greed for just an instant, and thought to himself that this was something his big brother used his life for. How could Zhao Tong have any thoughts of taking it for himself?

"Here."

After Luo Hao took out the Soul Crystal, he handed it over to Zhao Tong. There was a smile on his face, an incomparably sincere smile.

"Big Brother, don't misunderstand me. At the moment I saw the Soul Crystal, I truly wanted to take it for myself, but I didn't have any thoughts of harming Big Brother at all. I really didn't.

Zhao Tong thought that Luo Hao saw through his initial thoughts and wanted to use the Soul Crystal to test him. He didn't know how to explain it, afraid that Luo Hao would no longer take him as his disciple, and would almost pull out his sword to commit suicide out of remorse.

"If you are brothers, then accept them."

Luo Hao's face turned serious, he did not say the other sentence, but did not accept it.

Luo Hao's personality was like this, once he determined that Zhao Tong was a brother that could be trusted with his life, he would give the Soul Crystal to Zhao Tong. The reason was simple, it was that Zhao Tong needed this piece of Soul Crystal more than him, and with the power of the Soul Crystal, Zhao Tong's realm would be raised by a level, allowing him to have an additional bit of power to protect himself.

Although Luo Hao and Zhao Tong had yet to fight head to head, it was still a victory for him. As long as they were able to give each other something, they would definitely not keep it for themselves, and would only loot the benefits for themselves.

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Zhao Tong accepted the Soul Crystal without hesitation and heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his other hand, worried that he would be misunderstood by Luo Hao and lose his big brother, Luo Hao.

Luo Hao saw all of this, and smiled secretly in his heart, he turned and glanced at the warriors standing at the side, his gaze sharp, as though he was warning them not to kill Zhao Tong, it was a sign that he was warning them not to kill the Soul Crystal s on his body.

In fact, the moment when everyone saw Luo Hao taking out the Soul Crystal, many of them had a strong desire to snatch it for themselves.

"Kill! It's just you two using half a move. Fight if you don't want to."

Under Luo Hao's warning eyes, some of the warriors became greedy and refused to let go. The look in their eyes flickered, and they naturally wanted to snatch it for themselves.

"No, no, how could we dare to have this sort of courage? You are our savior! You are snatching away our savior's possessions! You are simply inferior to pigs and dogs! What do you think?"

One of them noticed that Luo Hao was staring at him and quickly expressed his opinion.

If the Soul Crystal was placed on Luo Hao, they indeed didn't have the courage and courage to snatch it away from him. Luo Hao killing the giant bear with his Soul Condensation Realm was a bloody case, so they didn't dare to provoke Luo Hao, but rather, they sought their own deaths.

But it was different for Zhao Tong. Once Luo Hao and separated, there would be people who would not hesitate to snatch the Soul Crystal from him. After the incident, even if Luo Hao knew, he could still avoid it, but as for what kind of situation he could not avoid, he did not even think about it.

"Brother, you should absorb this piece of Soul Crystal. I'll protect you from the side."

Luo Hao thought that there was a certain possibility and it was impossible for him and Zhao Tong to stay together. There would always be a time when they would part ways and at that time, there would definitely be people who would appear to snatch it away.

"Okay, thank you big brother."

Zhao Tong listened to everything Luo Hao said, and immediately sat on the ground, holding onto the Soul Crystal, he started absorbing the immense energy inside.

Luo Hao did not even look at the others and sat cross-legged a few feet away from Zhao Tong with his eyes closed.

The air was filled with the thick smell of blood that came from the dead giant bear, causing the other soul beasts to temporarily not dare to approach it. The level of the soul beasts was strict, and they were even stronger than humans.

Luo Hao sat with his eyes closed, while the rest of the practitioners revealed greedy expressions, staring at the Soul Crystal in Zhao Tong's hands. However, they did not dare to go up and snatch it, as they found it hard to endure, and many of them started to breathe heavily.

There were also some people who knew that Soul Crystal were not something that they were qualified to obtain, so they just sat on the ground, not feeling annoyed.

The energy from the Soul Crystal continued to flow into Zhao Tong's body, flowing through his meridians to his dantian, causing his strength to continuously improve, and his realm continued to rise towards the Peak of ninth level of Soul Nurturing.

"Phew!"

After a few hours, Zhao Gao opened his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of turbid air. He had finally reached the Peak of ninth level of Soul Nurturing, what was left was not to absorb the powers of heaven and earth, it was to view a person's comprehension.

The ancestor of the Sacred Flame City Chu family was a living example, the loess was even buried in his neck, stuck there on the Peak of ninth level of Soul Nurturing, unable to make a breakthrough. Only then did he think of using an unorthodox method, doing everything possible to capture Luo Hao's little sister, in order to make a breakthrough.

Luo Hao was extremely strong, even though he was resting with his eyes closed, he could control everyone's movements, so when Zhao Gao woke up, he could still sense them.

"Big brother, I can't use this Soul Crystal for now, you use it first."

Zhao Gao handed the Soul Crystal over to Luo Hao, but the energy in it was still enormous.

Luo Hao understood the meaning behind Zhao Gao's words, he did not pretend to take it, and held it in his hands: "When I break through to the ninth stage, we will continue to climb."

With that, Luo Hao closed his eyes and started to absorb the energy from the Soul Crystal.

Zhao Gao stood beside Luo Hao, observing the battle closely. Right now, he was at the peak of the soul nourishing stage, so even under the power of Soul Condensation Realm, he had the strength to fight.
