Chapter 85: Robbery and Murder (Part 2)

  Li Mao followed behind Li Jie, not daring to say a word more, nodding his head with a look of utter obedience.

  Just now, Lie Jie's slap had thoroughly stunned him. He also saw for the first time that San Shixiong, who was usually proud and arrogant, had lost his temper so badly.

  The root of this anger is still one's own incompetence.

  So, he felt ashamed in his heart and didn't dare to argue or show any dissatisfaction. However, this doesn't mean that he was willing to remain silent. The anger and resentment in his heart were undoubtedly transferred to Chu Hao and others.

  With his status and pride, he absolutely cannot swallow this tone!

  Just wait until Third Master's task is completed, then it will be the day of doom for those ordinary people!

  That insolent and detestable ordinary person, just let you be proud for a few more days!

  Deep down, Limo revealed a ruthless cold smile. Only he didn't know that this idea of his would never have the chance to be realized, forever and ever.

  After walking in the woods for a while, the rain gradually subsided, with only two or three drops falling continuously.

  A purple-robed young man beside Lie Jie looked at Lie Jie's expressionless face, then plucked up the courage to say indignantly: "Third Brother, are we really going to let them off like this?"

  Liejie suddenly turned his head, and to his surprise, his eyes were filled with bloodshot, staring at that person. The purple-robed youth shuddered all over, and the gaze made him instinctively feel afraid, even though the person in front of him was his closest third brother.

  "Did I say I'd let them off?" Lai Jie's cold smile seemed to freeze the raindrops around him, "I only said I wouldn't make a move, and leave immediately!"

  The young man in purple robes came back to his senses and said cautiously: "What Third Brother meant was..."

  "Are you that foolish?" Lai Jie seemed to be suppressing the anger from just now, coldly saying: "I still have a task to handle at present. They are wearing armor, and at a glance, they are obviously people from the Cloud Sky military family. And the direction they are heading in is undoubtedly within the scope of Jiang Jin Province. With their carriage speed, can they compare to us? As long as I finish handling this task, that group of lawless, dare-to-anger-me mortals, not a single one will be left!"

  "But, Third Master's poisonous oath just now..." Lü Mao finally had a chance to interject, saying in a low voice from behind.

  "Shut up, you useless guy!" Lijie turned his head and shouted loudly, scaring Limo into not daring to speak again.

  Only to see Lijie's face was fierce, coldly said: "Those ordinary people, I hate them so much that I want to dismember them one by one... Even if there is a poisonous oath on my body that prevents me from taking action, it does not mean that you cannot take action! This time's task, in the front Rosencrantz, with those ordinary people's speed, at least three days are needed to arrive, we have completed the task, and wait for them there."

  "So that's how it is, Third Brother really has a plan, brilliant!" The purple-robed youth on the left and right looked enlightened, and hurriedly flattered him. This time down the mountain, they were following Lijie to carry out the task, and also broaden their horizons. And those ordinary people just now were really too detestable, daring to challenge them, the proud sons of the Lijie family, the disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect!

  Kill, absolutely can't let one go!

  Chu Hao's body was controlled by Chen Honghong, and when he came to the high tree trunk where Lijie and others were, he happened to hear this sentence.

  For the past few days, Chu Hao has not been refining elixirs. The spiritual energy stored by Chen Honghong is enough for him to exert himself, and these four post-heavenly martial artists are simply no match for him! And he also has the six-grade treasure, Hunyuan Ding!

  The defensive-type Spirit Tool had only been used once before when facing Lu Ruhua, and Chu Hao hadn't had a chance to truly witness its power.

  These four people who have come knocking on our door are the best test subjects!

  Even outside the teahouse, Lie Jie and others made him kneel down to admit his mistake, wanting to hand over Lin Yue'er. At that moment, Chu Hao's heart had already risen with a murderous intention. For those who offended his reverse scales and bottom line, he would rather kill wrongly than let them off!

  In this world without a sense of security, only in this way can you best protect yourself!

  Mercy is something that only the hypocritical strong and the powerless weak possess in an era of survival of the fittest. Unfortunately, I am neither of them now!

  And that storage bag, it's also a must-have!

  Falling on the trunk, through the dense leaves, the sparkling dew drops cast a slightly blurred shadow of the four people below, and their conversation, not a word was leaked, drilled into Chu Hao's ears.

  Do you want to kill yourself and others in Luosheng City?

  Chu Hao sneered inwardly, these four people, if not eradicated, would become a great calamity!

  He absolutely won't allow it!

  At this moment, Lei Jie continued, "This time's task only has twenty days, and we've already wasted seven days." He paused, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes: "If it weren't for those disgusting ordinary people earlier, we wouldn't have had to waste so much time. We could have avoided the rain and hurried on our way."

  No one dared to interrupt at this time, the chill in Lijie's eyes gradually dissipated, and he continued: "If we don't speed up, by the time we arrive at Luosheng City, I'm afraid we'll be robbed of our thunder by other fellow disciples."

  The youth in purple robe smiled and said: "With Third Brother here, apart from Big Brother Guo Jing, which of the other brothers can be your match?"

  "Hmph, He family's He Gongming is not to be underestimated. Although he descended the mountain later than us, he still has several post-heavenly ninth-layer junior brothers by his side, and Yue family's Yue Buqi is among them. This time, getting a spot is not difficult for me, but it's also not simple."

  Lijie also gradually calmed down from his anger just now, turned his head to look at Limo and said lightly: "Limo, come here." Limo hurriedly covered his face with a worried and fearful expression, and muttered:

  "Third Brother."

  "I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself!" Lijie stared at him, saying coldly: "I have a spiritual symbol here, it's the Wind-Controlling Symbol that my father gave me, which can be used three times. Use this symbol to immediately go to Luosheng City and lure away that demonic beast. Wait for us to arrive, then we'll reunite. Under no circumstances should you let He Gongming and Yue Buqi find out."

  Li Mao was taken aback, never expecting Third Brother to give him such an opportunity. The Spirit Symbol, he had never used it before, and even seeing one was extremely rare! For a postnatal cultivator, the Spirit Symbol was something that even with great merit might not be obtainable. If Li Jie's father wasn't the current head of the Li family, and if Li Jie wasn't the hope of the Li family, he wouldn't have been able to possess a Spirit Symbol either!

  After all, it's too rare!

  Li Mao knew that Li Jie had gone all out this time, even taking out the Ling symbol. He was suddenly excited and trembling all over, saying: "Third Master's high hopes, younger brother will not disappoint!"

  "Don't be too happy, this talisman can only be used three times, and each time the duration is less than a stick of incense. After three uses, it will have no effect at all. If you use it well, we can meet outside Luosheng City!"

  "Junior brother knows!" Lü Mao nodded, his expression also becoming solemn, saying: "Junior brother will certainly follow senior brother's orders and will lead the demon beast to Third Senior Brother's side."

  "It's best this way, if this matter is successful, next time the true disciple promotion, I, Lijie, will never forget you!" Lijie's one sentence made all three of them shocked and excited, especially Limo who was overjoyed.

  "I'll give you the spirit symbol now. With my current strength, I can already sense a bit of the heaven and earth's aura. Use your blood to stain this yellow paper, and when we arrive at Luo Sheng City, we'll be able to sense each other. This matter will take no more than one day, and we'll be reunited!" Lijie said, patting his storage bag, and in his hand appeared a cyan spirit symbol and a palm-sized yellow paper.

  Lü Mao nodded and was about to use his internal energy to prick open the thumbprint, letting a drop of blood fall onto the yellow paper when...

  Mutation outbreak!

  A blue light descended from the sky, its radiance tearing through the raindrops and splashing in all directions. The speed of this blue light was extremely fast, and its final destination was surprisingly the spirit symbol in Lie Jian's hand!

  "You thief!"

  Liejie was indeed a post-heavenly peak, a great master of the Dacheng sect. He was the first to come back to his senses and was about to put away the spirit symbol into his storage bag, but it was already too late!

  That sharp blade was too fast, it was like a needle, accompanied by a gust of wind, accurately and without error, it snatched the spiritual symbol scroll from Lie Jie's hand! And that yellow paper also slowly floated to the ground.

  Suddenly, everything around became extremely quiet!

  Right away, Lie Jian let out a loud roar. At this moment, he had already sensed the direction of the aura's origin. He was both shocked and enraged. His long sword appeared in his hand, and with one swing, a cold light shot towards the top of the tree.

  The branch snapped loudly and a figure fell down quickly.

  Chu Hao patted his spotless pants lightly, smiled at the four people who were staring at him in shock, and waved the blue spirit symbol in his hand, saying: "Thank you, thank you, I'd be embarrassed to accept this small compensation."

  "YOU!" Lijie's eyes widened in shock and anger, staring at Chu Hao appearing here. His brain short-circuited for a moment, taking two seconds to react, the person who snatched his Ling symbol was actually this ordinary person in front of him!

  "What's wrong with you, can't you speak properly, only saying one word?" Chu Hao smiled harmlessly: "Looking at your surprised and unwilling expression, what you want to say is definitely, how can you be so handsome, is this reasonable?" He paused for a moment, his eyes curved: "Am I right or not?"

  Liejie almost got angry to the point of vomiting blood, he couldn't keep up with Chu Hao's train of thought at all. This stinky brat was shameless and despicable to the extreme. What shocked him was that just now this martial artist who only had a second-level Bone Refining cultivation could snatch the Spirit Symbol from his hands, and he even dared to follow alone, what did he rely on?!

  Lǐ Mào saw Chǔ Hào, and unlike Lǐ Jié, he didn't have many thoughts. He was first startled, then overjoyed, and shouted in a murderous tone: "You stinky little brat, I didn't think you'd dare to follow me! If you want to die early, I can satisfy you!"

  He gripped his long sword tightly in his hand and sneered coldly: "You stinky little brat, now I'll take your life first!"

  "Your master has sworn a poisonous oath," Chu Hao said coldly. "Do you really wish him such a miserable death?"

  Li Mao remembered Li Jie's words from earlier and sneered, "My third brother doesn't need to take action, because the one who will kill you is me!" With that, he launched a sword wrapped in silver light at Chu Hao!

  Lijie didn't say a word to stop him, but stood quietly in place. Chuhao's sudden appearance was really too strange, and just now he had silently and stealthily snatched the Ling symbol without anyone noticing, including himself. So even if he was furious, he could only force himself to hold back. And this time, letting Lijie go test this person was the best choice.

  "Wait, brother." Just as Lai Mao's long sword was about to reach Chu Hao, Chu Hao suddenly spoke up, causing his sword momentum to involuntarily come to a halt. He then stood less than a meter away from Chu Hao, with an air of arrogance and a raised head, as if this alone could wash away the shame he had previously lost.

  Lü Mao sneered: "What, want to beg for mercy? I'll tell you, it's already too late!"

  He didn't worry that Qin Yue Lou would play any tricks, this was just a martial artist who had only reached the second layer of Bone Refining, and he could pierce him with one sword and then dismember him!

  The loss of that talisman should be the doing of Third Master, who must have discovered this person and deliberately led him out. However, this person's hiding skills are not bad, and he even deceived himself.

  "No, no, I think you misunderstood!" Chu Hao smiled and said: "Aren't you very polite? I'm just giving you a friendly reminder that when you drew your sword, you forgot to say the opening phrase."

  Li Mao was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: "In Li Mao's hands, no nameless person has ever died without being reported!"

  Chu Hao nodded and said, "That's right!" Then, before Lai Mao could react, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose, and Chu Hao threw a punch at Lai Mao's face. Lai Mao was shocked and didn't expect Chu Hao to be so despicable. However, his reaction was quick, and he swiftly used his body technique to retreat several steps, dodging the punch.

  Although Chu Hao's strength is low, if he were to be beaten in the face, it would also make Lai Mao lose face. One does not hit a person in the face, except for Lai Jie, who else dares to hit Lai Mao's face?

  "You sneaky little brat!" Li Mu glared at Chu Hao with hatred.

  Chu Hao nodded slightly and put the talisman into his waistband. Then he smiled faintly and said, "Good stupid dog."

  Lai Mao was enraged and no longer bothered to exchange words with Chu Hao, he suddenly stood up and launched a powerful sword attack at Chu Hao! As a warrior who had refined his skin seven times, the Lai family's swordsmanship was not ordinary, and it was necessary to kill this infuriating mortal under his sword!

  Faced with Lian Mao's sword, Chu Hao did not dodge or evade. Except for Lian Jie's face remaining calm and solemn, the two purple-robed youths both revealed cruel smiles.

  Under this sword, Chu Hao has no chance of survival!

  Lui Mu's junior brother used the Lui family's Hook Cloud Sword technique to deal with a martial artist who had cultivated the Two Layers of Refining Bones, truly an extreme anger that attacks the heart, what a waste of great talent on something small.

  Just as the sword tip was about to reach Chu Hao, Chu Hao suddenly let out a muffled roar and quickly stretched out one hand, incredibly accurately reaching towards Lü Mao's wrist that grasped the sword!

  The index and middle fingers are slightly bent, and the direction of the press is the majestic pulse gate!

  This scene made Lai Mao's heart skip a beat.

  Has this kid gone mad or does he know he's going to die and is preparing for a final counterattack? This move may not necessarily inflict severe injuries on Li Muo, but it will definitely prevent him from completing the task entrusted by Third Master!

  You want to die, I won't go crazy with you!

  Before Chu Hao could even think about why his speed was so fast that it didn't match his actual strength, Li Mao hurriedly withdrew his sword and followed up with a thrust, stabbing towards Chu Hao's chest!

  He changed his moves extremely quickly, this set of sword techniques is the result of being tempered and refined a thousand times!

  Unfortunately, Chu Hao's divine consciousness was even more formidable. His fight with Lu Ruhua was because the two were on a completely different level, one being innate and the other acquired, making it impossible to compare! On the other hand, his battle with Li Mao was completely different, he could feel the direction of the sword attack without any worries and react in the fastest way possible.

  So even if Lü Mao's sword moves became very fast, in Chu Hao's eyes, they were still traceable!

  Chu Hao's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and then he swung his fist again, his waist twisting as he struck towards Lai Mao's chin! Chu Hao's attack was completely unorthodox, relying solely on his own feelings and instincts. The speed of this punch was even faster than Lai Mao's swordsmanship, striking squarely against Lai Mao's chin.

  "Bang----"

  Lü Mao's eyes widened in shock and anger, wanting to dodge, but the sword move had already been made, and it was too late to withdraw at this time!

  With a crisp sound, Li Mao, the martial artist who had tempered his skin to seven layers, was actually punched flying by Chu Hao. His jawbone fractured, he flew two meters high before heavily crashing onto the ground. And the long sword in his hand never touched Chu Hao from start to finish!

  Lü Mao's hand grasped his sword, and the other covered his chin, he was actually lying on the ground in a daze.

  He couldn't understand it, where did this ordinary person get such a powerful strength!

  No, that's not just strength, in the instant his fist approaches himself, it seems like there is a wave of power, a force driven by something other than physical body itself!

  Is it a gas explosion?!

  A thought flashed through Lian Mao's mind, but it was instantly overturned by him! What a joke, that is truly the kind of magic that can reach the heavenly gate and only practitioners in the Qi Refining stage can learn!

  Magic! Can this mortal really use it?!

  However, apart from this explanation, he couldn't find any reasonable explanation. The scorching pain in his lower jaw made it impossible for him to move his face, and he couldn't even make an angry expression.

  And this scene also shocked Lai Jie and others.

  Liejie's expression was slightly better, as if he was thinking about something, his gaze constantly shifting on Chu Hao's body. And those two purple-robed youths were shocked and disbelieving. They released their divine sense, feeling that Chu Hao was indeed just a second-layer Bone Refining martial artist without a doubt, this kind of guy, could be killed with just one squeeze, but he actually knocked down Liejiao!

  Looking at Chu Hao, he was calm and composed, as if he had only done something insignificant. He patted his hand and slowly walked towards Lai Mao. Although Lai Mao couldn't move his facial muscles, his eyes were filled with resentment. He quickly stood up and, without saying a word, charged towards Chu Hao again!

  This time, his movements were faster, his strength was more fierce, and his explosive power was stronger. Even his sword moves were more dazzling, filled with a thick killing intent!

  A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, Lei Mao couldn't believe it. With an absolute gap in strength, and after he had already been on guard, this stinky brat could still dodge this sword!

  Unfortunately, the unfortunate thing happened again. Just as Liao Mao's sword was about to pierce Chu Hao's chest, just when Liao Mao thought that this sword would surely kill Chu Hao...

  Bang!

  A boxing technique magnified in his eyes, and immediately, his chin was hit again! This time, he flew upside down for more than two meters high, looking even more miserable. His chin suffered a severe impact, causing his teeth to hurt his lips, and fresh blood spilled out. He quickly scrambled up, then stared at Chu Hao with scarlet eyes, shouting as he charged towards him with another sword!

  Bang!

  Lǐ Mào was knocked down again. Chǔ Hào noticed that the anger in his eyes almost burned himself, waved his fist, shrugged helplessly, and had a very innocent expression.

  "I don't believe it!"

  His face was twisted in a mixture of pain and ferocity, his jaw almost shattered, and the fresh blood flowing from his mouth had stained his entire face red. With a fierce cry, he charged at Chu Hao again, sword raised high.

  Lijia's Moonlight Sword Technique!

  Bang!

  Lijia Wuzhuan Shentu Fa, Lijia Zhan Xiong Jian Fa!

  Bang!

  ……

  Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang! Bang!!

  After falling down, Lai Mao got up again, and after getting up, he fell down again... Just in such a cycle, even Chu Hao was beaten to the point of having some hand bone pain. Finally, Lai Mao couldn't take it anymore. Although he was unwilling to accept the fact that he had been defeated by two ordinary people in one day, he really didn't have any strength left at this moment!

  His whole body was numb and he immediately curled up on the ground, unable to move again.

  His purple robe was now stained with mud and blackness, with bloodstains that were eye-searingly red.

  His face was a mess, his jawline already indistinct, flesh blurred, and the long sword slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground.
