Chapter 394: Triple Kill! (I)

Chapter 394: Triple Kill! (I)

After Half Mountain exchanged a few words with the elder, he quickly said, “I’m going to see Blue Moon and the Parity King. Perhaps... it’s really Li Hao and his vanished group of Guards behind all this!”

“What do you wish to do?” the elder asked in a low voice from the shadows.

“Eradicate this troop of missing Guards!” Half Mountain growled. “They’re so lively everyday and go around killing supernaturals like they’re completely insane. I can’t think of anyone else this crazy other than Li Hao. He’s crazy because his teacher is Yuan Shuo—these methods are right out of the old man’s playbook! Slaughter follows wherever he goes. Very few people like him have appeared in Silver Moon in the last couple of years.”

Yuan Shuo!

Indeed, Yuan Shuo was like this as well. He killed wherever he went. He’d crossed the North Sea by now and all of the powerhouses in the central region knew that Yuan Shuo of Silver Moon had arrived to begin his career as a demon! Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Yuan Shuo was making his name known throughout the dynasty after walking out of the province. His disciple was unwilling to stay out of the limelight and did his part in leading a group of martial masters on a wild rampage against supernaturals in Silver Moon.

The elder stayed silent in the darkness for a while before saying, “Very well! But don’t forget those guys in White Moon City. There has been much movement in the city these days. Be careful of a sudden ambush from Hou Xiaochen!”

“I know.” Half Mountain vanished on the spot. It must be Li Hao! That guy was just as crazy as his teacher.

......

At the same time.

Hou Xiaochen coughed and looked into the distance. “Are you... going to usher in troubled times by yourself?” he chuckled after a long moment. “What a mad little guy!”

According to the reports he’d received, more than one hundred supernaturals had died over four days. Other than the expedition to Battle Heaven, this was the first time that so many supernaturals had died in such a short period of time in the vast territory of Silver Moon. The key thing was, that fellow’s methods were stunning!

He never missed when he struck!

Wang Ming and the others acting as bait were equally brazen. Not only did they follow in Li Hao’s wake, but they stayed with the young man all four days.

“There is... no peace to be found in Silver Moon!” Hou Xiaochen sighed. An equilibrium had barely been maintained before, but Li Hao had gone and smashed it to pieces with a single trip. Red Moon would receive word soon, the young man wouldn’t be able to stay hidden forever.

Death would start coming for him next.

“I... can only hold off some of the powerhouses for you, but not all of them...” He shook his head gently and looked at the secret chamber in the back. He could’ve sent Little Yu to help the lad if these were times past. He couldn’t do so now, so Li Hao was on his own.

......

No one had a quiet night. Li Hao also knew that the real battle was yet to begin. He’d seen traces of Solars over the past couple of days and led the team past them each time. There’d been three sightings—once with three Solars, twice of one Solar. He refrained from action each time.

If he’d done anything, that might scare off the others. He could wait until more people gathered. Hadn’t he done all this killing over the past four days to lure out these people?

“My hands are itching after so many days of no action!” Li Hao laughed and looked at the balls of light in the darkness. The team’s coordination had improved markedly after so many days. He didn’t have much of a chance to make a move.

Those from Red Moon were more worried that the other two would capture Li Hao or even kill him. That would mark the complete failure of their mission. Capturing Li Hao was their first priority. Death was on the table only if that was completely out of the question. Even if they killed him, they must claim the body. That was Red Moon’s bottom line.

Zheng Ping’s nondescript features maintained an expressionless face. He scanned the surroundings out of the corner of his eye and transmitted, “According to our reports, Li Hao and his people should be hiding nearby! These martial masters operate at night and rest in the day. If we’re attacked, the two of you will hold off Yama and Celestial’s people. Only I am needed for Li Hao and his men. We’ll retreat as soon as we have him!”

“Understood!” the highly nervous two quickly sent back. Red Moon was sometimes forced into protecting Li Hao.

At the same time, three scarlet shadows soundlessly rushed forward. The three wanted to find Li Hao before the others did and put the young man under control. It was the best outcome if they could quietly settle this issue and take Li Hao back with them.

......

To the west.

A figure in black wearing a cloak strode over the ground. The corners of its lips turned upward. Zheng Ping? Red Moon had sent three Solars, but their strongest was Zheng Ping. If the figure killed Li Hao after Red Moon took the boy into custody... would Zheng Ping dare fight him?

A smile crossed the young face wearing the cloak before the figure fully vanished. No presence leaked this time. He’d made his greetings, so he could not be accused of striking from the shadows. Perhaps he’d be the one to grab Li Hao first and take him away. The heir to the eight families... How interesting.

......

In the east.

One of the Solars was naked from the waist up and covered in tattoos. It was a magnificent sight. The other was an incredibly beguiling woman.

She looked in the other two directions for a bit and smiled seductively. “Celestial has sent Yue Pu. That guy’s powers of concealment are first class and I hear he assassinated a peak Solar a while back. I wonder if that’s true.”

“A killer? Assassinate?” sneered the muscular man next to her. “That’s because he didn’t meet me. He can try ambushing me and see if he breaks my defenses!”

He was an earth supernatural, a late Solar, and one exceedingly skilled at defense. He’d been a martial master before crossing over, but not a very strong one at just peak Slayer. He was very proud to have successfully crossed over.

Supernaturals that had once been martial masters were typically stronger than regular supernaturals. Although the other was a peak Solar, he was not afraid. A peak Solar that could only walk in the shadows had to get past his defenses first.

The woman was a mid Solar and tittered, “That’s true, everyone knows that Yama’s Iron Wall possesses invincible defenses. There is likely barely anyone stronger than you in this regard among the nineteen northern provinces.”

Barely anyone? Iron Wall sneered. Other than the Novas, who had stronger defenses than him? He knew a few peak Solars as well as other earth supernaturals. No one was stronger than him. Therefore, he considered himself the greatest in defense among Solars of the north.

Of course, it would bring some trouble to him if he said this out loud. So he didn’t, but he certainly thought this way.

“Let’s go and take a look at the kid. He’s got some nerve—does he really think he’s Yuan Shuo?” Iron Wall coolly called out to his counterpart.

Li Hao... a little guy whose name was lost among the masses. If it wasn’t for Yuan Shuo and the eight families, Iron Wall wouldn’t bother looking twice at someone like this. The kid had certainly found his balls to eliminate a Yama branch!

Red Moon wouldn’t be taking him with them tonight!

Iron Wall didn’t think much about the three from Red Moon, but he did pause when it came to Yue Pu from Celestial. He wasn’t afraid of being ambushed, just considering the fact that the man was a peak Solar.
