Chapter 687: Slaughter (IV)
“You weren’t even born yet when I fought my way through the world!” Yao Si bared his teeth at the young man. “And you have the temerity to call me disgusting??”
He pointed at Hu Xiao, who bore an unpleasant expression on his face. “I have no opinion if you call this old thing disgusting, but you call me disgusting??”
He seemed to take great offense to the descriptor. Blood qi shook heaven and earth as he sneered, “When has it ever been the nine ministries’ turn to interfere in Night Watcher business? When has it ever been your place to stick your nose in things, Hu Xiao? Where is your respect for me?!
“I can’t be bothered with that trash, that dog Yellow Dragon. He jumps up and down with a lot of energy, but died too quickly. Otherwise, I would’ve let him know that not everyone can stick their hands into the Night Watchers!”
He punched out with the howl of a dragon!
“Kill!”
BAM!
Blood qi shook the world as Yao Si’s face flushed red. Hu Xiao’s eyes widened as he flung out a palm strike. Chains appeared in the void and snaked toward the Night Watcher director.
“Give it up, Yao Si!”
“You’re the one who should quit life!”
BOOM!
Reverberations shook all of the nearby houses to pieces. Thankfully, no one was inside them given Li Hao’s announcement yesterday. Yao Si had chosen to act! Not only that, but he roared angrily, “Any Night Watchers that still listen to me—kill all of the traitors!”
Some of the deputy directors, as well as Big Eyes and her cohorts, brightened when the director took to the field. Yao Si was here!
This old director of theirs had been frightfully quiet these five years. Everyone thought that he’d settled into hibernation, so to think that he would take action today! Although this gave an additional Arcanus to their side, the odds still didn’t seem that good. They were just a bit better than before.
That Yao Si had stopped the strongest of the other side—Hu Xiao—as soon as he stirred into action sent waves of shock through the assembly. The old guard was certainly strong!
Li Hao was also surprised from his position on the ground, but abruptly smiled. He looked at the four corners and suddenly felt that... this was just as good. It was fine that they’d all come! It didn’t feel as terrifying as it might have been.
Hou Xiaochen roared with fury as he fought two Arcanus by himself, forcing them back in an unprecedented display of battle strength. The remaining two Arcanus charged Li Hao without hesitation. One of them was the director of the Myriad Spirit Division from the Ministry of Foreign Relations, the other was the deputy minister from the Ministry of Commerce.
Both of them were Arcanus and ignored the others on the battlefield. Their target was Li Hao!
Within the trio of perverse Night Watcher geniuses, Spear shouted at the sight, “Kill!”
He rushed forward with his weapon, a mantis seeking to stop a chariot! However, he couldn’t resist the urge to strike. Even Yao Si had shown himself. This battle held the potential to draw out even more powerhouses as reinforcements so long as Li Hao didn’t die.
There would always be someone to take a stand for justice!
“Ole Spear!” called out Big Eyes. She cursed as her eyes turned bloodshot. A faint current of mysterious power rippled from them. The area around Li Hao seemed to turn into nothing and disappear.
Longsword was close behind his comrade and smashed his weapon down on the two Arcanus, cursing Spear as he did so. The guy had gone crazy!
......
Thunder and lightning exploded again as Li Hao lifted Hu Xiao up with the arm around his neck.
“Today, I execute one of the founders of the nine ministries, Hu Xiao of the Ministry of the Judiciary!” A cold shout resonated in the four directions as a fist slammed into the other’s face!
Endless mysterious power erupted as Hu Xiao howled. His organs were rupturing, but he could not block that fist. All of the supernatural defenses in his face broke.
BOOM!
His head exploded!
Li Hao tossed away the headless corpse and moved so quickly it was like he’d teleported again. He vanished on the spot, disappearing as a bolt of lighting racing across the void. The people didn’t have a chance to react before the old duke suppressing Thunderleg jerked with surprise.
How was this possible?!
The thought had just formed in his mind when a person appeared in front of him. Li Hao seemed to have broken straight through the void to appear in front of him. The young man didn’t say much because Thunderleg was weaker and almost being beaten to death. Li Hao came here first to punch again and again!
His fists of wind and thunder were too fast! Not only that, but he seemed to blast straight through all of the mysterious power in his surroundings. He was too fast as he was of the wind and thunder attribute. The wind attribute mapped to speed to begin with, not to mention he was wearing the Windchaser Boots.
The old duke attempted to withstand the assault with a mixture of fire and water. But since Hu Xiao couldn’t defy the onslaught, how could the old duke prove up to the task?
Li Hao delivered one hundred punches at once!
BOOM!
A massive hole gaped in his chest as the old duke couldn’t believe his eyes. He stared at Li Hao, his organs completely beaten to a pulp.
“You’re... you’re an Arcanus...”
Aren’t you a martial master?
“I must thank you all for helping me see through a lot of things!” Li Hao smiled and crushed his head with a loud crack. The young man casually tossed the corpse into a nearby river and disappeared again.
“Hurry and kill him!” someone roared in the distance.
Boom!
Several Arcanus within the city immediately shot at Li Hao. Li Hao was an Arcanus!
......
The young man vanished amid gale winds. When he next reappeared, he was in front of two fleeing Arcanus—the ones from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce. They wanted to run, but Yao Si beat one of them down. When he sought to bring down the other one, he cursed to himself!
A foot as large as a mountain descended and stepped on the other fleeing Arcanus, smashing him to bits!
Everyone in the battlefield gaped with astonishment! It was one thing for Li Hao to be an Arcanus, but his cultivation level was clearly highly stable and his body formidable. With the Windchaser Boots at hand, his speed was also incredible!
The sight stunned all participants, but they were able to be more at ease in the next moment. Several figures appeared next to the young man—all old men with white hair. Each of them were uncommonly grave as they looked incredulously at Li Hao.
