“I’ll stay,” said the bald Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
He looked over and saw him standing resolutely beside him with a determination to face death.
The others were also ignited with a fiery passion. They wanted to stay and fight the enemy alongside him.
Jiang Hao swung the Half-Moon Blade in his hand.
The hilt struck the bald man’s neck, and the force invaded his body and knocked him unconscious.
The sudden action left others shocked. “Senior Brother Zheng, I’ll have to trouble you again.”
Jiang Hao looked at Zheng Shijiu.
“Alright, Junior Brother Jiang. Be careful,” Zheng Shijiu said solemnly.
He knew that Jiang Hao wouldn’t easily get into trouble, especially when he was alone.
Jiang Hao was at his strongest when he was alone.
If they stayed behind, they would only hold him back.
However, he didn’t know Jiang Hao’s limits. The only thing he could do was not get in his way.
So, Zheng Shijiu retreated with the others.
Everyone else could only follow his orders.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was alone.
If it were possible, he would have left with everyone. That way, it wouldn’t attract attention.
But the tentacle attacked so fiercely that retreating together wasn’t the best choice.
He could only stand alone against the danger and let the others leave first.
With people around him, he couldn’t do what he wanted.
Now that no one was around him, he could use his techniques freely.
He had a way. If there was no other choice, he could even use the life-saving magic weapon his master had given him.
He could escape from here using the spatial power of the magic weapon.
But there was a problem. It seemed that he was being targeted by someone. That was why he had to act alone.
It seemed that someone was closely watching him and would appear at any sign of movement.
The tentacles began to swarm.
He used the second form of the Heavenly Blade, Mountain Suppression.
Powerful blade intent covered the surroundings and suppressed the frontmost tentacles.
After that, Jiang Hao felt the changes in the surrounding sea fog and sensed the tentacles’ attacks. No tentacle crossed the line.
Blades flashed and swept in all directions.
Countless tentacles were cut off and turned into bubbles.
The tentacles couldn’t escape Jiang Hao’s blade.
At this moment, Jiang Hao had absolute power.
He used the Heavenly Cauldron to lure and trap the tentacles in the divine domain.
Unfortunately, the divine domain was broken because the tentacles were too long.
But as time passed, the frequency of the tentacle attacks began to decrease.
Finally, they retracted.
However, Jiang Hao did not let his guard down. He felt that this was just the beginning of the danger he had to face.
The person who was keeping an eye on him seemed to have arrived.
He couldn’t determine the newcomer’s strength. It made him wary.
‘Who could it be?’
“Brother! ”
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
The surrounding sea fog no longer blocked his vision.
A child of about four or five years old stood in front of him in ragged clothes.
The child looked around in panic and shouted, “Brother! Where are you?”
Tears fell from the child’s eyes.
The child looked frightened.
At that moment, another voice came from the other side. “Xiao Lu, where are you?”
The child immediately looked around.
Then, he saw a teenager in his early teens, dark complexion, and weak in spirit and blood, as if he had been hungry for a long time.
The child ran over to the teen and hugged him.
“Brother, I thought you were going out like mom and dad,” said the child in tears.
“That’ll never happen,” said the young man as he wiped the child’s tears and patted his head.
“When will Mom and Dad come back?” the child asked.
“They’ll be back in a few days. I brought you some food.” The young man took out a piece of sesame seed cake.
“What about you?”
“I’m not hungry. I already ate.”
“Why don’t people in the clan like us?” The young man smiled but did not answer.
The scene shifted.
The child stole a piece of meat from a place and then managed to escape while being chased.
Finally, he ran to his brother excitedly. “Brother, there’s meat!” The young man was surprised. ‘Where did you get it?” “You eat it. I’ll tell you after you finish eating it.”
Jiang Hao looked at the two brothers and frowned.
At the same time, a man came from the opposite direction.
He had many dark spots on his body. His breath was ragged. He was cursed.
The two boys disappeared, and the sea fog emerged.
At that moment, Jiang Hao could only rely on the nameless manual to sense the other person’s presence.
“We depended on each other since childhood. Xiao Lu was all grown up, but he died by your hands,” said a voice.
“Are you indignant?” Jiang Hao understood that the person in question was probably Tong Lu.
He remained calm, but his body was accumulating strength. “As you grow up, many people will want to kill you, and you will also kill many people. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes. We’ve killed many people too.” Tong Tian sighed. “Even if it wasn’t you, Xiao Lu would have died at someone else’s hands in the future. But we’re brothers. Now that he has died at your hands. I need to do something. Even if I
die, I’ll need to answer to him. At least… I can tell him that I did my best.” Swish!
Jiang Hao saw a figure breaking through the sea fog at an impossible speed.
Boom!
He defended with the blade and activated the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield immediately.
However, even so, the powerful force sent Jiang Hao flying back.
He felt the wail of his blade. His blade had cracked.
‘So strong!’
In an instant, the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield was activated to defend him.
But even so, his internal organs were injured.
The Revival of Withered Wood ability began to activate automatically.
Many thoughts went through his mind in an instant.
When he landed, he quickly moved forward and attacked.
He couldn’t determine the other party’s strength, so he didn’t dare to hold back.
He unsheathed the Primordial Heavenly Blade and activated the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit.
He used the third form of the Heavenly Blade, Meteor.
Jiang Hao’s figure whizzed like a meteor and collided with the opponent.
However, Tong Tian blocked the Heavenly Blade with his bare hands.
Boom!
They moved like shooting stars that rapidly disappeared and reappeared. Their power and aura swept the surroundings. Stones from the walls of the passage kept falling.
Boom!
The Heavenly Blade clashed with the opponent’s fist, and Jiang Hao was once again forced back.
Even with the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield support, he couldn’t withstand the opponent’s attacks.
Without hesitation, Jiang Hao attacked once again.
The Heavenly Cauldron was activated. Jiang Hao wanted to pull the opponent into his divine domain. That would give him an advantage.
Tong Tian’s body was already covered in black spots. He looked at the man in front of him and felt uneasy.
‘Late stage of the Soul Ascension Realm?’
It was entirely reasonable for Tong Lu, who was also in the late stage of the Soul Ascension Realm, to die at the hands of this man.
That last blade technique was more than enough.
‘I can’t hold on for much longer. I need to finish this quickly.’
Tong Tian knew that his cultivation was rapidly declining, and he would die in no time.
If the opponent didn’t have any more tricks up his sleeve, then he might have a chance..
