Chapter 676: Li Hao Returns (IV)

Yellow Dragon looked forebodingly at Hou Xiaochen. It will be perfect if you dare make a move, I can use the strength of the nine ministries to eliminate you then!

A loud collision sounded in the distance! Chen Jin stumbled back, his palm covered in blood. He remained as berserk as before and howled with anger, raising his ax to the sky.

Mountain Ax!

BOOM!

It was as if the mountains were shattering and the earth fracturing. The blow was domineering beyond compare, and yet, a peak Solar was much stronger than the internal force of a Dominator. Zhou Chao exploded with might and punched outward, throwing off rays of light in all directions.

Several Dominators in the surroundings looked on with unpleasant expressions. Zhang Yang of the Five Tigers Broken Blade Sect, Xie Lan of the Jade Sword Sect, Wu Yue of the Heartdestroyer Palm...

A violent light shone out of their faces. When they saw that Chen Jin was about to be defeated, they looked at each other and nodded in unison. Several Dominators acted at the same time with overwhelming momentum and unbounded ferocity!

“Kill!”

“Kill!” echoed several hundred Guards. They waved around their blades and spears with unusual bloodthirstiness. They were such a violent sight that it actually intimidated the nobles watching. This was a bunch of trash on par with Darkmoons, but they dared raise their weapons!

“Come at me then, trash!” Zhou Chao shouted coldly. You’re just a couple of Dominators, do you think the strength of peak Solar is a joke?!

“Break!” He unleashed a punch, but his eyes widened when Chen Jin refused to back down.

The latter’s ax swung down with repeated roars. There was only incredible aggression coming from Chen Jin, he wouldn't retreat! He needed to endure the punch so the rest could kill Zhou Chao!

Sword, spear, and blade appeared as the Dominators moved with enormous coordination. Their auras flared in unison—boom!

The look in Zhou Chao’s froze for a moment, as if he was petrified from fear. Even Hou Xiaochen paused when he saw this; he slowly withdrew the spear that he’d been ready to deploy. Yellow Dragon’s side also blinked in collective unison.

It was only five Dominators in the field at the moment—in other words, it was five Sunflares against one peak Solar. The two sides were completely mismatched, but it was Zhou Chao who seemed to be frozen in place. The formidable auras of martial masters and their utterly dauntless charges actually intimidated the supernatural dandy.

Deputy Director Zhou furrowed his brows, finding his son’s reaction to be embarrassing. His son was a peak Solar! It’d taken endless resources to lift him to that step, but now he was stunned in place by a few oafs. This was mortifying!

Seeing that Zhou Chao was floundering to the point of vomiting blood after having taken a palm strike to the chest, the deputy director grew angry and anxious. His son might really be beaten to death if this continued...

Deputy Director Zhou looked at a Nova not too far away. This was one of his men—an initial Nova. That cultivation level was sufficient! These people wouldn’t be able to hold on if another Solar came along. But just in case, he looked meaningfully at the man.

Take care of these fellows! They’re nuisances!

......

Spear light sparkled in the distance. Hou Xiaochen had chosen to act. He was answered in kind by Yellow Dragon’s group. Presences shot for the horizon from the Night Watcher headquarters, as if the complex was about to be blown apart.

A figure broke through the air, traveling at the extremity of speed. Light shimmered around his boots as the newcomer landed in front of the Nova. The latter blinked and identified with fear, “Li...”

Bam!

One punch!

One simple punch landed with an explosion of five auras, blowing the head to pieces with a loud impact! The young man whirled around and punched once more. Bam! Zhou Chao split into several pieces before he also detonated.

Off in the distance, Deputy Director Zhou blinked and roared with anger, “Li Hao!”

“How dare you kill a high rank chief commissioner in Night Watcher territory!” roared a shocked Yellow Dragon.

Li Hao regarded them coolly and ignored them. He turned to Mu Xiaorong and the others, declaring frostily, “Come. Take one step forward, set one foot out of the yard. Show me your courage!”

There was no sound. People backed away in fear! Mu Xiaorong and the others quailed, their hands growing clammy with sweat. Li Hao had come back! He hadn’t run away!

Li Hao turned around to see a maddened Deputy Director Zhou charge at him. Cruel amusement glinted in the young man’s eyes before he looked at Yellow Dragon. A deepening sardonic look shone out of his eyes.

Yellow Dragon immediately returned to his senses!

“Retreat, fast! This guy is destined to die, so don’t go head to head with him! Since he’s come back, he’ll die tomorrow, so come back!”

As full of fury as Deputy Director Zhou was, it was as if a tub of cold water was dumped over his head in the next moment. An icy fist clenched around his heart.

That was right.

Li Hao had come back, which meant he hadn’t given up. That, in turn, indicated he was dead without a doubt. If he’s provoking me to kill him right now... I’ll absolutely die if I go for it. The deputy director abruptly came to his senses and halted, bitter resentment shining out of his eyes.

Li Hao smiled, looking at him and then at Yellow Dragon’s group. “What a bunch of trash! I’m disgusted by the fact that the Night Watchers keep you useless lot around! You wouldn’t dare take a step forward even if I gave you the courage to! Zhou, Yellow, you guys grew a lot bolder after I left to take a walk.

“Do you fancy yourselves as somebody just because there are some more metamorphoses around you?” jeered the young man. “All of you come at me then! I’ll make sure that none of you leave this place alive!”

“Hmph!” A cold, scornful snort was the only response. The other deputy ministers were very quiet. They dared attack Hou Xiaochen, but not Li Hao. It was a very strange and laughable circumstance, but it was reality.

They knew that Hou Xiaochen was very strong, but they weren’t afraid. They also knew that Li Hao wasn’t necessarily on par with Hou Xiaochen, but... they were afraid of the young lunatic! Not to mention, Li Hao was designated to die tomorrow. It was a waste of effort to erupt in open hostilities against him now.

“Today is the last day!” Li Hao’s voice rang through the premises. “If there is no list of one hundred names by night, I’ll behead one thousand tomorrow! That’s one out of every four of you! Don’t think of counting on that trash outside. Whether it’s Yellow Dragon or Yellow Bug, I’ll send him to the underworld first if he dares take one step closer to this place!”

The young man was wholly unconcealed in his ruthless cruelty!
