Volume 1: Cloud Sky Chapter 77 Life and Death on a Thin Line! (Part 1)

  At this moment, the white-clothed woman couldn't afford to hesitate for a single moment. She let out a tender cry, and then her long sword burst forth with an astonishing radiance, as if forming ring after ring of ripples. Meanwhile, the white-clothed woman was muttering to herself in a low voice!

  The entire process, from the explosion of the log cylinder, took less than a second, and the woman in white had completed these steps. It has to be said that her adaptability and sensitivity were exceptionally good.

  If it weren't for Chu Hao's constant provocation earlier, the cylindrical tube he had prepared early on would probably not have been useful either. As the halo of light slowly expanded, the flying needles seemed to be shot into water, greatly reducing their attacking effect. The white-clothed woman's long sword protected her body all around, moving so fast that it was dazzling, striking down the flying needles one by one onto the ground.

  Chu Hao's face turned cold as he stood by, he hadn't expected that this white-clothed woman would be so powerful, and she even had a spiritual symbol of the water attribute from the five elements on her body. The spiritual symbol covered her two-product water-attribute long sword, greatly increasing its power, making these flying needles' attacks ineffective even at such close range!

  Chu Haofeng had already made the worst preparations for everything, so at this moment, even if he was surprised that the flying needle did not bring any substantial harm to the woman in white, his left hand did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the woman in white resisting the flying needle, another claw attacked her chest again.

  This palm attack was indeed extremely despicable, and it was actually aimed at the right breast of the white-clothed woman!

  A woman in white robes was wielding a sword to deflect the flying needles. The cylindrical wooden tube had exploded, but after rolling on the ground, it still locked onto her as its target. It was unknown how this thing was made, but it could contain so many flying needles!

  At this moment, she noticed Chu Hao's movement, and her eyes showed a hint of anger. She shouted in a soft voice, then her body swayed to one side, and her white jade leg kicked out from under her long skirt, revealing a crystal-clear and round ankle. Immediately after, she assumed a high-difficulty pose, with her long sword supporting her on the ground, and lightly drew a circle in mid-air, dodging a wave of flying needles' attack. After that, her cold blade flashed, and one foot kicked towards Chu Hao's abdomen.

  Chu Hao's palm fell empty, and he saw the movement of the woman in white. He burst out laughing: "I don't have a foot fetish, don't stretch your stinky feet over here!"

  He was infuriating the woman on one hand, and with both hands, he gathered his inner strength to protect his abdomen, attempting to block this kick.

  Unfortunately, although Chu Hao was a tenth-grade artifact refiner in his past life and had an incredibly powerful divine sense, the two of them were still vastly different in terms of their cultivation realms. Even if he knew the direction of this kick, it would be extremely difficult for him to block it!

  The difference in physical strength between the Refining Skin stage and the Innate Qi Realm was finally understood by Chu Hao at this moment! This kick, not fancy, but sealed off all of Chu Hao's escape routes, leaving him no choice but to harden his defense!

  The power of thirty horses versus the power of five elephants!

  "Bang——"

  A burst of great force sent Chu Hao flying out thoroughly, his body heavily crashing into the wall behind him, directly smashing a large hole in the wall, with dust flying everywhere.

  His back and abdomen were burning with a fiery pain that extended to his nerves, and he couldn't help but let out a loud roar.

  Her body was half-reclining on the ground, at this moment that violent rain of pear flower needles had completed its mission, and no more needles flew out. The woman in white still had not been harmed!

  Chu Hao did not expect his counterattack to fail so miserably. He stared with scarlet eyes at the white-clad woman, who landed on the ground and walked towards him with a cold expression, her sword raised. He coughed slightly, but couldn't help bursting out laughing uncontrollably.

  A woman in white stood before him, looking down at him with a cold gaze and said, "What are you laughing at?"

  "What's your name?" Chu Hao's face was surprisingly calm at this time, with only blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, giving off a somewhat eerie and frightening aura.

  "Do you know you're going to die soon, and yet you still want to be a foolish ghost?" The white-clothed woman's tone was disdainful. Earlier, she had been toyed with by Chu Hao, and given her realm and identity, she was naturally furious at this moment. With a cold smile, she said: "Or do you want to ask my name, so that it will be convenient for you to find me and take revenge later?" Her expression became even more scornful, her beautiful head held high, as she spoke word by word:

  "Remember, my name is Lu Ruhua, the one who will take your life!"

  After she finished, she stared at Chu Hao again, her long sword gleaming with a cold light, set against the entire white world of the array, dazzling and piercing to the eyes: "I still want to ask you, how did you actually raise your cultivation?"

  "Lu Ruhua, what a ridiculous name!" Chu Hao was not afraid at all and didn't care about her question. He continued to laugh and said: "I just wanted to know the name of my future ex-wife, you chattered on and on, don't you think it's funny? I find it hilarious myself!"

  "You!" Lu Ruhua's breathing hastened, her whole body trembling with rage. She could no longer endure Chu Hao's nonsensical words and raised her long sword to stab him fiercely!

  This sword was merciless, yet when Chu Hao faced such a fierce sword wind, he suddenly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in mid-air, followed by a cold hum from him.

  "Set!"

  In an instant, everything fell silent.

  This sound of "ding" seemed to have pulled a certain airflow in the air, and immediately afterwards, Lu Ruhua's long sword slowed down, and his body was as if it had been frozen in place, not moving at all!

  Her expression gradually became terrified, looking at the sword tip near Chu Hao, no matter how hard she tried to mobilize her innate energy, she couldn't get rid of this sword! And what's even more frightening is that she couldn't even make a move to pull back her long sword, her whole body seemed to be under someone's spell, soft and weak, without any strength.

  That one word "ding", could it be some kind of profound magic spell?!

  A layer of gloom settled over the heart of the woman in white.

  Chu Hao's face was gloomy, and at this time he slowly got up from the ground, stretched out two fingers, grasped the long sword, then pulled it down, and the long sword left Lu Ruhua's tightly grasping right hand, and fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.

  Chu Hao stepped on the long sword, temporarily ignoring Lu Ruhua's suddenly ugly face, and instead took out a dan medicine from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

  This is the second-grade "Yugu Dan", which has some use in recovering from external injuries, but its healing effect on internal injuries is much worse. This was specially made by Chu Hao over the past few days. However, although this pill is only second-grade, the materials are quite difficult to find, and Chu Hao only managed to refine three pills, one of which he just consumed.

  During this time, Chu Hao made thorough preparations for today. His personality was vengeful and he must get back the humiliation of these two slaps!

  After adjusting his breath, Chu Hao finally stood up, and his face was no longer smiling, but instead had a strong killing intent. He stared at the woman's self-calm eyes and said coldly: "Do you know why you can't move?"

  As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up the now unrecognizable wooden cylinder from the ground, holding both sections in his hands. He then picked up a few of the scattered needles and gestured to the woman with them, smiling: "These needles have been coated with some special medicinal agents by me, Xiao Wang - Huangliancao, Wangyue mud, plus Chuanjiao and ordinary Kuifahua tea leaves."

  Chu Hao stared at the woman in white, saying lightly: "I've said so much, with your intelligence, you may not necessarily understand, so I'll make it clearer." After a pause, Chu Hao moved his abdomen, which had been bumped, and lewdly pushed against the direction of the woman. Ignoring the woman's embarrassed expression, he continued:

  "These things are mixed together and will emit an invisible smell in the air. This smell is not a toxic smell, but the more angry and furious people absorb this smell, unless they are born with great perfection or have caught a glimpse of spiritual power and intention, the body of the latter will stop circulating both prenatal and postnatal energy for a period of time, and even make people lose all their strength."

  Lu Ruhua's beautiful eyes widened at this moment, and as Chu Hao's words fell slowly, her frozen expression finally began to relax inch by inch. Even in her eyes, there was a hint of panic!

  Now that I think about it, Chu Hao had been trying to provoke himself all along, and it was all for the sake of releasing this kind of aura! And that flying needle, was just a distracting technique!

  The woman in white, though willing to believe that Chu Hao was just trying to scare her at this moment, but everything she felt on her body at this moment was real, a reality that made her regret!

  She never thought that the cultivator who was always high and above, in the Innate Qi Refining stage, would actually be surpassed by someone inferior to her, a waste who had been slapped twice by herself just a month ago!

  It's all too unreal, everything is too unreal!
