Chapter 321: A Fierce Battle! (IV)

Ole Huang didn’t have the mental bandwidth to spare for wondering who his attacker was. He wanted to leave this forsaken place! All he needed to do was to tell Hu Qingfeng that Yu Xiao had died here. He rather regretted following Yu Xiao when the man left the hotel. So what if he managed to walk away victorious at this stage?

Ole Huang began to back away!

But would Li Hao let him go?

The young man stomped his foot and fractured the entire alley with a small quake. Walls collapsed as Li Hao charged forward with his sword!

“You...” Ole Huang was infuriated. It was plain to see that he wished to retreat. Couldn’t this person tell?? Do you have a death wish?!

He knew a few details behind the Incantation of the Blade of Blood, that the longer one used it, the greater the chance of death. You and I bear no grudge against each other, are you crazy?! Is killing Yu Xiao not enough, you aren’t willing to let me go either?

He could sense some incoming supernatural ripples. Their fight must be drawing a lot of attention. He didn’t want to continue battling this madman! Ole Huang swiftly materialized armor of golden energy around him.

“Have you lost your mind?! You can’t kill me and I don’t want to kill you...”

Bam!

Stellaris slashed through the energy armor in overwhelming fashion. Blood sprayed beneath the weapon. Ole Huang grunted, setting aside his attempts to talk! That stroke had almost taken his arm!

He looked at the sword in Li Hao’s hand with shock. What was that? An origin weapon? It didn’t seem like one, but it was so sharp that it was unbelievable. The weapon smashed through his defenses of peak Solar in one move!

By now, he knew that he’d made a grave mistake. He shouldn’t have focused on defense! There was nothing that this sword didn’t penetrate, so defense was an impossibility. He was stronger than his opponent and should’ve attacked!

Regathering his senses, Ole Huang punched Li Hao!

The young man brightened and responded in kind. BAM!

Immense force from the punch split Li Hao’s arm open and bloodied Ole Huang’s fist. Blood spurted everywhere.

Madman! Ole Huang cursed. He no longer dared remain on defense and struck proactively. He punched at the young man again, whereupon Li Hao stowed Stellaris. A sword was a hindrance in close quarters and would cost the young man time.

Punch against punch!

Bam bam bam!

Their fists collided innumerable times in the blink of an eye. Li Hao took a few steps back and shattered countless tiles with his feet. His right arm was drenched in blood and hung listlessly by his side. The bones within had all been smashed to smithereens!

Ole Huang heaved for air as blood dripped down his right arm. His opponent wasn’t as strong as him, but attacked in a reckless fashion without thought for his own life. After the exchange of blows, Ole Huang felt that his arm was just about crippled as well.

His fist continued to swing through the air with the last vestiges of glory and sent Li Hao flying again.

The young man crashed to the ground, looking for all intents and purposes like he was dead.

The spear behind Ole Huang ran him through; Hao Lianchuan flicked the man away like he was tossing a piece of trash. Unending shock filled his eyes when he scanned the battlefield!

It’d taken him only twenty seconds to reach the alley. This was his promise to Li Hao—ten seconds at the least, thirty seconds at the most. He’d come as fast as he could and now he was in a shocked daze.

Yu Xiao was dead and there were several other broken bodies on the ground! He also recognized the person that he’d just flung away—Huang Jie of the five from central headquarters. Peak Solar, a metal supernatural who was skilled in attack. He was a personage that Hao Lianchuan might not be able to defeat even when he had the Flaming Phoenix Spear in hand.

Together with Li Hao, the deputy director had so easily forced the man to death because when he arrived, Huang Jie had only half of his strength left at most! He was naturally no match for Hao Lianchuan and the Flaming Phoenix Spear under such circumstances. It was Li Hao who’d backed Huang Jie into this corner, no one else! A martial master who’d already killed a mid Solar!

Hao Lianchuan knew that Li Hao was behind their deaths because all of the corpses bore marks of sword light or prominent signs of the tiger aura. These were the methods of a martial master!

It was like he was getting to know the young man for the first time. The deputy director didn’t even have the mental capacity to spare for the young man—he didn’t know if Li Hao was dead or alive. There was no movement forthcoming from the prone figure on the ground.

His incredulity was too much to fathom. Was... this really Li Hao, and not Yuan Shuo? He wouldn’t think twice if it was Yuan Shuo who’d accomplished everything in the alley, but Li Hao??

Rays of light erupted in the distance as supernaturals swiftly converged upon the alley. No one could be allowed to witness this scene; Li Hao’s cover would be thoroughly blown. The greatest fool would be able to read the telltale signs of sword intent and the tiger aura.

Hao Lianchuan leapt into the air, ignoring the unmoving young man on the ground. He brandished the Flaming Phoenix Spear, causing the approaching supernaturals to grind to a halt. They recognized that origin weapon!

“Red alert!! Battle stations!!” Hao Lianchuan boomed. “Red Moon, you’re crazy to attack Li Hao within city confines! Damn you, all of you deserve to die! Move out, Night Watchers! Seal off the city, obliterate the enemy! Please exit seclusion, Director Hou!”

His roar shook the land!

A fiery phoenix soared majestically through the sky as the city stirred to action. Powerhouses jerked their heads upward with astonishment. Red Moon? Were they insane?! Attacking Li Hao with such fanfare like this, did all of them have a death wish?

A tremendous presence rose from the Night Watcher headquarters and light flashed through the void. An overwhelming air enveloped the southern quadrant of White Moon!

A titan was coming! Was it Hou Xiaochen? There didn’t seem to be anyone else apart from him. Eyes widening, the powerhouses drawing near the battlefield reversed their motion. No one dared come close. The skies were about to change!

Red Moon had gone completely crazy and those in the know were startled. This wasn’t the plan! Off in the distance, Hu Qingfeng frowned deeply. Was Blue Moon an idiot? They’d agreed to move against Hou Xiaochen together, why was he acting ahead of time?

That damned fool!

Hao Lianchuan’s expression shifted rapidly in the air. It wasn’t until a figure on the ground began stirring to life that he heaved a sigh of relief. All the same, stupefaction was writ large in his eyes.

How... strong... are you, Li Hao?
