Chapter 423: Chapter 29: Slaying the Proud, Proclaiming the Divine Name
"Ouch!"
The short man screamed in agony, looking at Li Hao in horror. Even if Li Hao was on guard, it shouldn't have been so easy for him to fend off a close-range attack, right?
But it was indeed fended off, what kind of freakish strength was that!
"Are you from the Four Stands Realm?"
The short man was shocked. He couldn't see through Li Hao's aura, but considering Li Hao's age, it would have been impressive enough if he had just stepped into the Three Immortal Realms.
"Spare me, I'll give you the item, just don't kill me..."
Not even waiting for Li Hao to respond, the short man hastily handed over a belt: "The Tao Rhyme Blood Fruit is inside, spare me!"
Tao Rhyme Blood Fruit?
Li Hao was somewhat surprised. Ji Yun Ge had just mentioned this item, and now it suddenly appeared before him.
However, the item was in this belt? Li Hao was puzzled, yet he did not take it. Instead, he suddenly threw a punch at the other's head.
The man was being pursued, but at this moment he offered treasures to Li Hao, clearly trying to transfer the trouble onto him. It seemed like a plea for mercy, but in reality, it was a sinister move.
"You..."
The short man was furious and let out a roar as a golden talisman ignited in his palm. It was indeed a Saint Heart Talisman.
Where the golden talisman burned, divine light emerged to envelop his body, intending to block Li Hao's punch.
But when Li Hao saw the golden talisman, he suddenly realized what was happening and forcefully used the "Flying Phase" ability, doubling the distance of his attack.
His fist had just swung halfway when the fearsome destructive force struck the opponent's head.
With a bang, it burst like fruit pulp.
The short man's mouth was slightly open, his final moment before death still filled with disbelief, not understanding why he was dying.
Yet his body had already lost all motor functions, and a divine soul flew out from the top of his skull, attempting to escape into the distance.
But the Sword Qi that Li Hao had condensed, having the "Hidden Bow" attribute, was already lurking in the surroundings. As the man's divine soul burst out, it was instantly slashed at.
If Sword Qi employed the "Hidden Bow" to stay hidden and went undetected, its lethality would double.
In that moment, it directly split the man's divine soul in half, and then the Sword Qi exploded like a porcupine, shredding the divine soul.
The short man was only from the Three Immortal Realms; in front of Li Hao, he had no chance even to plead for his life using the Saint Heart Talisman.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; the man's body and soul were both destroyed, leaving behind only the activated Saint Heart Talisman still burning and enveloping his headless body.
One just had to wait for the talisman to burn out, leaving only a corpse behind.
In the brief moment, three silhouettes were already chasing after him. Upon seeing Li Hao kill the short man in a blink of an eye, they were all startled and immediately surrounded Li Hao in a triangular formation, locking him down.
"Damn little thief, he died too easily without me personally killing him!"
The leading youth looked at the headless body with a trace of anger still in his eyes; the man was merely from the Three Immortal Realms, yet he nearly snatched the Tao Rhyme Blood Fruit from his grasp, a complete humiliation!
"Boy, hand over his body, I am from the Qin Family of the Ancient Holy Clan. You better not be as foolish as this idiotic thief!"
The youth shouted at Li Hao, eyeing him closely. The more he looked, the more he frowned; this young man didn't seem to be from the Great Wilderness Heaven.
But those of the lower Human Race beyond the Great Wilderness Heaven, at such a young age, who had such a cultivation level, to instantly kill someone from the Three Immortal Realms?
Li Hao, holding up the corpse enveloped in divine light, slightly raised an eyebrow and said, "Shouldn't you thank me first? I stopped him for you, and I also killed him."
"Young man, hand over the Tao Rhyme Blood Fruit first, and our young master will surely reward you handsomely," another middle-aged man said, carefully watching Li Hao with a calm voice while quietly exuding his aura to envelop the surroundings, sensing in all directions, trying to discern if Li Hao was alone.
Another elder was silently locking down the area, using a secret technique to prevent Li Hao from escaping using a Saint Heart Talisman and secret arts like the small man had attempted.
Li Hao, with his Heaven and Earth Vein, had an extremely refined perception of the surrounding world. The opponent's subtle movements and probes, though discreet, were immediately picked up by him, and his eyes became slightly cold as he sensed their murderous intent.
He felt a hint of anger. The people of the Great Wilderness Heaven seemed to care even less about rules and order.
"Whatever you want, just say it, but hand over that body first!" the youth said angrily, his emotions from the earlier provocation by the short man not fully calmed.
"What if I don't want to?" Li Hao said.
The youth's eyes suddenly turned icy cold as he angrily said, "Then you're asking for death!"
"Die!"
The elder had secured the area and sighed with relief inwardly. After exchanging glances with the middle-aged man and confirming that there was no one else around other than Li Hao, he concluded that this unknown young man had come alone.
Without politeness, his attack came in a sudden, even as he was speaking.
As a member of the Ancient Holy Clan, there was no one they dared not kill. Even if Li Hao were some holy clan scion, it mattered not. Great Wilderness Heaven respected the strong, and those inferior in skills deserved their fate!
With a thud.
Pouncing from such close proximity, the elder was from the Four Stands Realm; as an old servant from the Ancient Holy Clan, he also practiced a profoundly mysterious Cultivation Technique. The attack was as swift as lightning, unavoidable under the guidance of the Tao Rhyme.
Li Hao didn't choose to dodge either, and the attack was incredibly fast. His back vibrated violently, and his body leaned slightly forward, feeling piercing pain.
But soon enough, his Indestructible Treasure Body kicked in, swiftly healing the grazing wound and the pain along with it.
"How is this possible?!"
The elder's eyes widened in shock. This young man wasn't wearing any Treasure Garment He actually took the full brunt of his strike with his bare body!
The youth and the middle-aged man were both stunned, their expressions changing immediately.
