Han Zhao stretched out his left hand. The Severing Karma Saber and its scabbard flew out of the Mystic Spirit War Case behind him and landed in his palm.
Seeing that Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi were stunned, Han Zhao smiled and waved at the two of them. “Brother Qi, Brother Su, I didn’t say anything about you! Come over quickly.”
Seeing this, the two of them ran to Han Zhao’s side.
“I’m relieved to see that you’re fine,” Han Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the deal had been reached and Liang Yan had said that he would not ask for the two million taels of silver back even if the mission failed, Han Zhao had always been a man of his word, especially when it came to accepting money. If he did not fulfill his promise, wouldn’t it ruin his reputation?
However, he had been paying attention along the way in the past ten days and had not found Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi at all. Now that he had found the two of them, he was relieved.
“Where did this lunatic come from?!” Seeing Han Zhao chatting with Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi as if no one was around, these descendants of aristocratic families felt insulted.
“I know you. You’re Han Zhao, fifth on the Qilin Ranking!’
Someone recognized Han Zhao.
“So what if he’s fifth on the Qilin Ranking? Can he defeat so many of us?”
Although everyone knew the value of the fifth place on the Qilin Ranking, they had Cao Wuyu, who was ranked first, by their side. What was a mere fifth place? Moreover, he was only a martial artist. What right did he have to be so arrogant? If they attacked together, Cao Wuyu wouldn’t even have to do anything to deal with him.
“If you don’t pay, you’ll die! I’m not joking!” Han Zhao said seriously. “I’ll f*cking kill you first!” The first disciple of an aristocratic family was enraged, and killing intent overflowed from his eyes.
He suddenly clasped his hands together, and a huge two-meter-long saber flew out of his body and landed in his palm.
A black metal fragment the size of a goose egg was embedded in the hilt of the saber. As he held the saber with both hands, a ball of black fog that seemed to have materialized surged out and completely covered the saber. The scorching aura in the air seemed to have been dispelled by a lot, and cold air overflowed from his body.
“Die!” He raised the saber with both hands and flew into the air, smashing it down with a thunderous force.
When Shen Xiao, who had rushed over from behind, saw this, he closed his eyes.
Han Zhao stood rooted to the ground. When the saber was about to reach him, he suddenly pulled out the Severing Karma Saber and slashed diagonally from below.
Clang!
Accompanied by a loud bang from the collision of metal, the saber broke in the middle and fell to the ground with a bang.
The disciple of the aristocratic family widened his eyes, and a line of blood appeared from his glabella to his crotch.
With a pfft, his body split open from the middle, and blood and internal organs splattered on the ground. Binding Force quickly took effect, causing his broken body to gradually close up, and the wound healed.
However, when the two halves of his body were reattached, a faint golden Astral Qi appeared from the wound, blocking his body and preventing him from recovering completely.
“Ah!” The disciple of the aristocratic family wailed in pain as if the golden Astral Qi had brought him indescribable pain.
The wails did not last long. The other party’s body quickly withered. After Binding Force disappeared, the corpse split into two again.
“Li Run!!” The other descendants of the aristocratic families were shocked. Although Li Run had broken through to the seven-vein Bind-level not long ago, he was still an expert second only to Cao Wuyu in the team. He could not even withstand Han Zhao’s saber?
“You really value money more than your life!” Han Zhao cursed as he walked forward.
During the process of searching the corpse, he also absorbed the remaining Yin energy in the other party’s body. Then, he took away the Sumeru Pouch and pulled out the divine weapon fragment embedded in the hilt. The entire process was done in one go as if he had done it countless times.
Looking at Han Zhao’s practiced movements, the few people who had been clamoring just now kept quiet out of fear. They all looked at Cao Wuyu, who was standing at the side.
It was not until Han Zhao killed Li Run with a slash that Cao Wuyu’s originally calm expression changed a little. He slowly walked forward and said,
“You’re very strong, perhaps catching up to Yu Chongxiao and Qi Yuntian back then. I acknowledge you. If you’re willing, we can enter this Demon Martial
God’s inheritance ground together.”
“Young Master Cao?!” The other six people were stunned. They did not expect Cao Wuyu to have no intention of avenging Li Run.
Cao Wuyu glanced at the six of them. Five of them immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. However, one of them shouted indignantly.
“Young Master! Li Run has been with you for eight years! Even if he didn’t contribute, he has worked hard. How can you…”
Boom!
A cold light flashed in Cao Wuyu’s eyes. He opened the five fingers of his right hand and suddenly clenched his fist. His already muscular and powerful right arm instantly swelled up. Its circumference directly exceeded an adult’s waist, and the black hair growing on it stood up like steel needles. He punched out, and the air was instantly compressed and exploded. The descendant of the aristocratic family who spoke up against him was blown up by his punch. His body turned into flying pieces of flesh, and blood mist filled the sky. “How can a slave have the right to speak?” Cao Wuyu shook off the blood on his fist and said calmly.
He didn’t want to face a powerful enemy like Han Zhao when he was about to enter the Martial God’s inheritance ground, but he still had to show his strength.
“I hope you can consider my suggestion carefully.” Cao Wuyu turned to look at Han Zhao with a smile.
“We can go in together.” Han Zhao nodded slightly.
“This…” Shen Xiao wanted to say something but hesitated. He didn’t really want to go with Cao Wuyu, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn’t say it.
Although Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi were surrounded by Cao Wuyu and his men, they knew that Han Zhao was judging the situation, so they did not object.
“A wise man submits to circumstances. I like to talk to smart people like you.” The corners of Cao Wuyu’s mouth curled up, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhao added, “You still have to pay.” “What did you say?” The smile on Cao Wuyu’s face froze.
“100,000 taels of gold per person. The payment of the one you killed just now will also be on you.” Han Zhao extended his hand and said seriously, “In addition, it you want to enter Martial God’s inheritance ground with me, you have to pay more! Give me an additional 100,000 taels of gold.”
“Good! Very good!” Cao Wuyu was so angry that he laughed.
He did not say another word. He raised his head and roared angrily. He pounded his chest with both hands. The violent sound wave shook the minds of the surrounding people, and their eyes rolled back.
“He’s so angry?” Han Zhao was stunned. He didn’t expect Cao Wuyu to be so angry that he would hit himself.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Cao family in this generation, Cao Wuyu actually didn’t even know his title as the Money-Grubber. Was he the kind of person who would joke about money?
Crack, crack, crack!
Cao Wuyu’s body expanded and twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye as if it was inflated. His limbs became thicker and longer, instantly turning into a five-meter-tall muscular giant.
Thick black fur grew from all over his body. At first glance, he looked like a panda in his previous life, but his entire body was covered in golden armor that emitted a shocking aura. His eyes erupted with sharp killing intent, instantly destroying the panda’s honest and cute temperament.
“How dare you trick me! Go to hell!” Cao Wuyu laughed arrogantly. His feet suddenly stepped on the ground, and the ground shook. His figure flashed across more than ten meters and appeared in front of Han Zhao.
Bam!!
A black-furred fist the size of a water tank rapidly enlarged in Han Zhao’s vision. He suddenly punched out. Two fists of completely disproportionate size collided.
Under the majestic force of Cao Wuyu’s furious attack, Han Zhao’s body sank. The ground under his feet shattered with a bang and he retreated two steps.
He looked at Cao Wuyu, who had transformed into the Nine Li Battle Beast, and revealed a shocked expression. “He actually blocked 20% of my strength. What great strength! ”
“Good! Good!” Cao Wuyu was shocked and furious. In order to open the Demon Martial God’s inheritance ground, he still needed the blood of a martial artist. Therefore, he had held back just now, afraid that he would kill him with a single punch. He did not expect Han Zhao’s strength to be above his expectations. Even a Two Fiend Realm Martial Saint would definitely not be able to receive this move unscathed.
“You’re stronger than I thought. I’m going to be serious next,” Han Zhao said calmly.
“You’re courting death!” Cao Wuyu was furious. He suddenly pounced forward and punched out with both fists. It was enough for martial artists to have Qi Xuanming and Su Tianqi. He only wanted to tear Han Zhao apart now.
Three Points Origin Returning Qi—Three Essence Fusion!
Han Zhao suddenly took a step forward. Rapid Speed gathered in his naturally lowered hands, and an Astral Qi ball condensed like a vortex wrapped around his fists.
Boom!
Han Zhao stood on the spot and punched with his fists, pouring out Astral Qi.
“Astral Qi? Nothing… Huh?!” Feeling the majestic Astral Qi coming at him, Cao Wuyu sneered. However, when the Astral Qi touched his fist, he instantly felt that something was wrong.
However, it was already too late. The ferocious, cold Yin, and long-lasting Internal Force and Astral Qi that conflicted with each other perfectly fused together. Then, endless power erupted from his fists like a wave.
“Ah!!” Cao Wuyu roared at the sky. He activated the power of his bloodline to the limit, but in the next second, it was drowned by a loud bang.
He had seen with his own eyes that after he transformed into the Nine Li Battle Beast, his fist, which was harder than steel, was minced into minced meat, and bone fragments splattered.
The Three Points Origin Returning Qi did not lose its momentum and ruthlessly struck his chest.
Cao Wuyu’s body was sent flying like a cannonball. Amidst the bone-cracking sound and the sound of metal grinding, a huge vortex-shaped hole appeared in the golden armor on his chest. The flesh on his chest disappeared, revealing his white ribs and beating heart.
“As expected of the Nine Li Battle Beast bloodline!” Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.
Although he did not use a Lesser Divine Power in this attack just now, he had used nearly 30% of his strength.
Cao Wuyu could actually still withstand it. Although the armor on his body blocked most of the power of the Three Essence Fusion, it was still very shocking.
“Wait! Wait a minute!” Cao Wuyu’s body quickly returned to its original state. The terrifying injuries from before had disappeared, but his face was pale and his aura was extremely weak. Seeing Han Zhao walk over, he no longer had the aura from before. He was panicking to death.
He had entered through the main body this time. If he died here, he would really be dead!
“You attacked me. You have to pay more.” Han Zhao pointed at Cao Wuyu’s nose.
“Alright! Alright!” Cao Wuyu squeezed out an ugly smile. Only then was he sure that Han Zhao really wanted money and was not playing with him.
If he had known earlier, he would have just paid.
In the end, Cao Wuyu gave all the valuable things in the Sumeru Pouch to Han Zhao. Then, he swore on his inner demon that he would give him 200 Demon
Gold when he went out.
The other five descendants of the aristocratic families were already so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly lined up to pay, afraid that they would be killed by Han Zhao if they were any slower.
“Alright, everyone, let’s explore Martial God’s inheritance ground together.”
Han Zhao waved his hand and the group rushed towards the Demon Martial God’s inheritance ground in the direction pointed out by Cao Wuyu..
