Chapter 484: Commencing (III)
“Alright!” Light Sword said nothing else. Since Li Hao had said so, then let it be so. She would wait for Yuan Shuo!
He Yong laughed and looked meaningfully at the swordswoman. Veteran martial masters were all highly confident in Yuan Shuo without considering how strong he actually was at the moment. Light Sword had likely just created enormous future trouble for herself.
The woman took in a deep breath and turned without a word. She would wait! If she succeeded, she wouldn’t be afraid of Yuan Shuo even if he completed training that so-called Summoner of Spirit.
“She looks to be in a hurry!” Hong Yitang suddenly laughed out loud when she left. “And Li Hao, you’re going to release the news, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Then... things will be interesting. Your teacher will likely have to fight Ying Hongyue to the death in the days to come. I don’t know if your news is forcing yourself, your teacher, or Ying Hongyue down a narrow path.”
Li Hao smiled as well. “It’s all the same. With pressure comes motivation. My teacher is thus, I am thus.”
As Light Sword walked out of the city and the group conversed, a massive explosion rang through the air!
“You’re crazy, Hou Xiaochen!” Green Moon howled. “How dare you attack us! Do you think those in the city will really help you?!”
Decisive to a fault, Hou Xiaochen had made his move. He couldn’t be bothered to wait after Light Sword left. Battle commenced in a split second.
Rumble!!
Consecutive explosions blasted through the air and a flaming red spear illuminated the void. It swept through the air and suppressed the late Nova Green Moon and mid Nova Blue Moon.
Kong Jie’s fists slammed down, forcing the Parity King backwards. He kept the three Yama Novas at bay all by himself!
The battle was on!
Just as Hou Xiaochen thought, the wandering cultivators scattered in all directions when the Novas clashed. No matter if there was another way out of the ruins or not, they fled in panicked horror!
......
He Yong itched to join the action. “It’s merits as far as the eye can see!” He looked down the wall. “Li Hao, are we really not going out there?”
Li Hao landed on the ground inside the city and swiftly flew toward the gate. “Let’s wait by the gate, but stay inside. Be careful that our director might take us down with the rest of the enemy.” Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
The trio swiftly flew to the gates, followed shortly by the three Silver Armors. Director General Wang did not make an appearance. Panther ran with the group, excitedly following his human.
Manager Yu’s presence was like a demon’s—sinister and malevolent! Her opponent was Elder Crimson of Celestial, a mid Nova assassin. He’d disappeared into the void, but suddenly reappeared with an ominous air around him. Yu Luocha slammed her palm outward, delivering a nauseating sensation with a pungent scent of gore so dense that it was putrid.
Li Hao’s eyes widened. Her killing intent was so strong! How many had she killed to accumulate that?
“Yu Luocha’s Luocha Palm is honed through killing. She was no kind soul either in her day. Without your teacher commanding attention after killing some famous martial masters, the demon of the martial world would be her!”
“The three commanders didn’t kill her?” Li Hao asked with surprise. Her hands were covered in blood. Had Hou Xiaochen shown her mercy just because she was a woman?
“Her story is complicated,” He Yong chuckled. “She joined the martial world for revenge. She comes from a family of martial masters, but her family was butchered by others. She forged her way in blood, reaping the lives of her enemies. Although she killed many in the name of avenging her family, Hou Xiaochen likely had his own rules of assessment. He didn’t kill her.
“Old lecher Ying Hongyue then set his sights on her, she left with him when the supernatural rose. She doesn’t cleave to a sense of right or wrong and joined Hou Xiaochen probably because he was a handsome lad back in the day. He showed her mercy, she became his fangirl, and so you have your Manager Yu.”
Li Hao said no further, simply watching Yu Luocha’s bloody palm. Its killing intent was so strong and the scent of gore so dense that even the premier assassin’s cloak was ripped to shreds. A young face came into view—Elder Crimson was rather young!
“Yu Luocha...”
BOOM!
Crimson wanted to say something, yet Yu Luocha was in no mood to talk. She thrust palm after palm in a frenzied fashion, at complete odds with her usual calm. She stopped when a black origin weapon manifested in front of the other. When his battle strength soared, Yu Luocha grunted and summoned a pair of thin, scarlet gloves to her hands.
The scent of gore increased by thirty percent when she slammed her hand down and the nauseating sensation permeated throughout the outer city.
BAM!
Elder Crimson could not withstand Yu Luocha! This powerhouse that’d assassinated Novas before hardly seemed the part now. He quickly fled into the void again, wanting to escape. Li Hao turned to watch other parts of the battlefield.
Golden Spear faced a Celestial initial Nova. The latter was being beaten away by the man’s spear and had no room to return blows.
The young man wasn’t surprised. Golden Spear was a pure martial master with extra battle strength. As agile and unpredictable as the other’s movements were, he was fenced in when meeting Golden Spear. The tremendous spear intent pierced through the darkness and reflected through the gloom, leaving no place for the other to hide.
Off on the other side, Hu Qingfeng seemed to be just going through the motions. He approached Kong Jie as he fought the Liu youngster, possibly wanting to ambush the man. Qi Gang fought the Near River general to a standstill. Hu Dingfang and the others were chasing after some wandering cultivators...
Li Hao raised an eyebrow at the sight, it seemed that the Silver Moon authorities didn’t need them. They could dispatch their opponents all on their own. Granted, difficulty would still be high if they wanted to kill their targets.
Light Sword did not act. After delivering some threats to Li Hao, she’d walked out of the outer city and was leaving with the wandering cultivators. Li Hao wasn’t sure what the old woman was thinking.
It was then that the unexpected occurred.
