"Senior!"
Just as Ren Jie closed her eyes, waiting for death, a sharp white light slashed down, landing in front of Ren Jie and blocking the sword thrusting towards her.
Ren Jie opened her eyes and found a familiar figure blocking her path; this figure was none other than Zhang Hao.
"It's you!"
"Zhang Hao!" Ye Yunshang looked at the suddenly appearing Zhang Hao in surprise.
"Remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect, do not harm others."
Zhang Hao said coldly.
Several Blood Robe Men were immediately surprised. One of the taller Blood Robe Men said coldly to Zhang Hao, "How do you know we are people of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
"Hmph, is it hard to know? Then die for me!"
Zhang Hao slashed down with a saber.
"Arrogant!"
That Blood Robe Man snorted coldly and thrust a sword towards Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao had long known that the movement techniques of these Heavenly Demon Sect people were very strange. However, having fought the Blood Robe previously, he had gained some immunity to the movement techniques of these Heavenly Demon Sect members. Therefore, he dealt with them very easily.
"Peach Blossom!"
Instantly, a cage formed by countless saber lights trapped and killed that Blood Robe Man.
"Treading Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms!"
Zhang Hao slashed out with a saber again, using both saber and leg techniques.
"Bang bang!" Two leg shadows fiercely kicked the body of that Blood Robe Man.
The powerful force fiercely kicked the entire Blood Robe Man flying.
"Go together!"
More than a dozen Blood Robe Men simultaneously attacked Zhang Hao.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Zhang Hao's body was suspended in mid-air, and a powerful aura erupted from him. With a flick of his wrist, he instantly unleashed thirteen slashes.
Endless saber lights annihilated those Blood Robe Men. Under the terrifying saber momentum of the thirteenth slash, three Blood Robe Men were cut in half on the spot.
The Fourteenth Slash
A force of 409,600 jin descended with this slash. Instantly, the world darkened, as if space itself had frozen.
"Ah!"
Under this extremely domineering slash, more than a dozen Blood Robe Men were instantly killed. The System's notification sounds rang frantically in Zhang Hao's ears.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for upgrading. Current level: Martial King Third Heaven."
Zhang Hao was very satisfied. He had finally upgraded, it was really not easy! Once cultivation reached the Martial King Realm, upgrading required millions of experience points at a time. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
The people from Wushuang Academy were all stunned. The strength of these Blood Robe Men was very terrifying. Just now, any one of them could have wiped out all the people from their Wushuang Academy. But in front of Zhang Hao, they were killed as easily as slaughtering chickens and sheep.
"You've advanced?" Ren Jie looked at Zhang Hao and asked, somewhat surprised.
The moment Zhang Hao upgraded, Ren Jie keenly captured a trace of intense fluctuation emanating from Zhang Hao's body. She just wasn't sure.
Zhang Hao looked at Ren Jie, also a little surprised; this girl's observational skills were quite sharp. He nodded noncommittally and said to her, "Thank you for protecting Ye Qingrou like this."
Ren Jie quickly said to Zhang Hao, "If anyone should say thank you, it's me, how could it be you? Ye Qingrou is my junior, we are both disciples of the Dean, so she should call me Senior Sister. We are like sisters, this is what I should do."
Zhang Hao nodded. This Ren Jie was very humble, which made him like her even more. He took out a bottle of Dan and handed it to Ren Jie, saying, "You should be close to advancing to Martial King, right? This bottle is High Grade Barrier Breaking Dan, it might be useful to you."
Ren Jie was greatly surprised. She knew how precious this Barrier Breaking Dan was. She quickly declined, saying, "No... no, I can't accept it. I'm already very grateful that you saved the people of our Wushuang Academy. How can I ask for your things again?"
"Haha, this thing is useless to me anyway. If I give it to you, it can still be of some use. Are you really not going to take it?" Zhang Hao blinked at Ren Jie.
Although Ren Jie was declining, Zhang Hao could still see from her eyes that she was very eager for that Barrier Breaking Dan. After all, it was High Grade Barrier Breaking Dan, which could increase Ren Jie's chance of breaking through to Martial King by fifty percent. You know, that's a fifty percent increase in chance! Adding that to her original success rate, it was equivalent to being able to steadily enter the Martial King Realm.
It must be known that on the True Martial Continent, the success rate for Great Martial Masters breaking through to Martial King is very low. Often, only one out of a thousand Great Martial Masters can successfully break through to the Martial King Realm. The other 999 remain stuck at the Great Martial Master Realm. This is also why Zhang Hao saw so many Half-Step Martial Kings in Watt Country back then. It was all because Watt Country's cultivation environment was insufficient for Martial Warriors to break through to Martial King, and the cultivation resources were also insufficient. Even the Royal Family of Watt Country only had Half-Step Martial Kings. Breaking through to Martial King was extremely difficult. But a Barrier Breaking Dan was enough to perfectly solve this problem.
"Senior, just accept it." Ye Qingrou, who was beside them, also saw Ren Jie's eagerness for this bottle of Barrier Breaking Dan.
Although Wushuang Academy was not without Barrier Breaking Dan, they were only Low Grade Barrier Breaking Dan, at most Medium Grade. High Grade Barrier Breaking Dan was unheard of.
"Okay, then I will accept it."
Under Ye Qingrou's persuasion, Ren Jie finally accepted the bottle of High Grade Barrier Breaking Dan with trembling hands.
Zhang Hao and Ye Qingrou walked to the side.
"Zhang Hao, thank you. You saved me and also gave Senior a bottle of Barrier Breaking Dan." Ye Qingrou looked at Zhang Hao and said.
"We are Clansmen, and Clansmen are also family. Family shouldn't talk like strangers. Moreover, to me, that bottle of Barrier Breaking Dan is nothing." Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"Mm, I know it's nothing to you, but to Senior, it is of great significance," said Ye Qingrou.
Zhang Hao suddenly remembered something. Looking at Ye Qingrou, he asked, "After entering the enlightenment lotus, did you gain a lot?"
A joyful smile appeared on Ye Qingrou's face. She said, "Mm, in the enlightenment lotus, I received a Sword Dao inheritance. The one who passed down the Sword Dao to me seems to be a Sword Saint."
A Sword Saint? That's also amazing. Zhang Hao looked at Ye Qingrou and said with a smile, "Ye Qingrou, after receiving the Sword Dao inheritance, you should be able to break through to Martial King very soon. At that time, our Zhang Family will become even stronger."
Ye Qingrou said solemnly to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, although my surname is Ye, I am also a member of the Zhang Family and will always take it as my responsibility to defend the Zhang Family."
"Okay, when the time comes, you tell Ren Jie not to go to Divine Dragon Mountain again. That place is a trap. Find a safe place to hide and stay there until the Shenlong Secret Realm opens again. As for the reason, I will explain it to you when I return." Zhang Hao said seriously to Ye Qingrou.
Although Zhang Hao didn't give a reason, Ye Qingrou naturally believed that Zhang Hao would not harm her. Therefore, she quickly nodded and said, "Zhang Hao, I understand. I will tell Ren Jie immediately."
"Okay, I still need to rush to Divine Dragon Mountain to find the people from our Tianwu Academy. We will meet up again then. Farewell for now." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he said no more and immediately flew away, disappearing from Ye Qingrou's sight in the blink of an eye.
