"I choose to take three moves from Senior," Zhang Hao said.
"Zhang Hao!" Zhang Yaobang exclaimed anxiously.
Zhang Yaobang knew that let alone Zhang Hao, even he himself probably couldn't take a single move. That was a cultivator at the Martial King Realm!
"Grandpa, do I have any other options?" Zhang Hao shook his head.
Zhang Yaobang was stunned for a moment. He was speechless. Indeed, compared to the second option, the first choice at least had a sliver of hope.
"Senior, may this Junior take the place of my grandson?" Zhang Yaobang looked at Gu Long and pleaded.
"Are you negotiating with me?"
Gu Long stared at Zhang Yaobang.
Zhang Yaobang instantly felt mountain-like pressure, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Zhang Yaobang gritted his teeth and said, "This Junior wouldn't dare!"
"Grandpa, get up! It's just three moves! Zhang Hao believes that Senior Feiyun just wants to give this Junior some guidance and won't bully the young," Zhang Hao said slowly.
Gu Long gave Zhang Hao a deep look, nodded slightly, and said, "Hmph, you don't need to use words to pressure me, but you're right, I can't bully the young and not give you any chance. I will suppress my cultivation to the Great Martial Master Realm, just one Realm higher than you. In this way, you should have nothing more to say, right?"
Zhang Hao's heart rejoiced. He knew his words had finally worked. If Gu Long still attacked with his Martial King cultivation, even if he used all his methods, he wouldn't be able to block three moves. It would be a sure death. Although Gu Long gave him two options, the result was actually the same. But if Gu Long suppressed his cultivation to the Great Martial Master, Zhang Hao would have a sliver of a chance.
"Thank you, Senior!" Zhang Hao said indifferently.
Gu Long had already been sentenced to death in Zhang Hao's heart. As long as he didn't die today, he would definitely avenge this grievance when his cultivation improved in the future.
"Good, you have guts. I'll give you three quarters of an hour to rest," Gu Long pretended to be generous.
Zhang Hao didn't refuse; he also had to prepare. His biggest reliance now was the equipment that dropped after he killed Zhang Kuanglong just now. Moreover, his cultivation had upgraded to Second Tier Martial Master. Limitless Rampage had also refreshed.
Zhang Hao found a corner to sit down, pretending to rest. He immediately pulled out the list of all the dropped equipment.
Fierce Tiger Battle Armor (King Level Mid-Grade)
Description: Can resist 80% of damage from the same level, 30% of damage from one major Realm higher, and 10% of damage from two major Realms higher.
Awesome! As expected of King Level Mid-Grade battle armor. Zhang Hao didn't click to use it. Instead, he started looking at other items.
One-time Skill Scroll: Sacred Protection
If you've played League of Legends, you know. This is the skill of the Judicator Kayle!
Zhang Hao immediately checked the attributes.
Item: Skill Scroll Sacred Protection (One-time)
Description: A skill of the League of Legends hero Judicator Kayle. After use, immune to all damage for five seconds.
Holy cow, that's incredibly awesome. With this skill, Zhang Hao gained a sliver of confidence. The only depressing thing was that this scroll was a one-time consumable. Once used, it's gone.
Therefore, it was impossible for Zhang Hao to rely on Sacred Protection to survive three moves. The only plan now was to take a gamble.
Alright! Zhang Hao stood up.
"Zhang Hao, can you really do it?" Ning Xue looked at Zhang Hao nervously.
"It's okay, don't you believe me?" Zhang Hao said nonchalantly.
Although Zhang Hao appeared calm, he was actually unsure. After all, Little Dragon had turned into dragon patterns to protect him and was injured by Zhang Kuanglong's palm. He was currently sleeping to heal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so passive right now.
"Zhang Hao!"
"Brother!"
Just as Zhang Hao was about to walk towards Gu Long, he heard familiar voices from behind.
Zhang Hao turned his head and saw Jin Bao, Zi Qian, and his younger sister Qin Zinan. He was slightly surprised.
Zhang Hao glared fiercely at Jin Bao and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't I tell you to take younger sister and leave? Why are you back?"
Jin Bao said somewhat helplessly, "Boss, after I got the news that you were okay, I rushed back. What is this..."
However, when Jin Bao saw Gu Long floating in the void, his expression suddenly changed in horror. He stammered, "Mar... Martial King..."
In Watt Country, Great Martial Master was already the top martial force, let alone a Martial King. This time, Jin Bao was incredibly shocked. He said to Zhang Hao, "Boss, you're going to take three palms from a Martial King?"
"Zi Qian, why are you here?" Zhang Hao didn't answer Jin Bao's question, only looking at Murong Ziqian beside him.
Murong Ziqian gritted her teeth at Zhang Hao and said, "After Father Emperor took me away, I was always worried about you and begged Father Emperor to let me come find you. Originally, Father Emperor didn't agree, but then for some reason, he suddenly agreed."
Zhang Hao knew that it must be because the Emperor had learned about the situation here. He then said, "Zi Qian, wait on the side. I'll come find you soon."
"Zhang Hao, I believe you can do it." Murong Ziqian looked at Zhang Hao, her eyes full of trust.
Zhang Hao nodded, then walked in front of Gu Long and said indifferently, "Senior, I'm ready. Please make your move!"
"Good!"
Gu Long glanced at Zhang Hao indifferently. At this moment, Zhang Hao was already a dead man in his eyes. Although Zhang Hao used the Gathering Breath Art, Gu Long's strength was too much stronger than his. Naturally, with a single glance, he could tell that Zhang Hao was only a Second Tier Martial Master. With this strength, even if he suppressed his own strength to the Great Martial Master, it was enough to kill him with one blow.
After all, Great Martial Master was a full major Realm higher than Zhang Hao, and as a Martial King Realm martial warrior, even if he suppressed his cultivation to Great Martial Master, he was still much stronger than an ordinary Great Martial Master.
"Take this!"
Gu Long smiled faintly, his robes moving without wind.
"Bang!"
A palm shadow struck towards Zhang Hao. The air vibrated violently. A mountain-like force crushed towards Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao's expression was extremely solemn, circulating all the power in his body to the limit. He was gambling that Gu Long would underestimate him in the first move and wouldn't use too much power. Therefore, Zhang Hao planned to use his own strength to take the first move. As long as he could survive the first move, the initiative would be in his hands.
"Luo Han Fist!"
The perfected Luo Han Fist was unleashed. At the same time, Zhang Hao used twelve layers of strength.
With a "Bang!" sound.
The two palms collided head-on in the void.
"Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for triggering a critical hit with Luo Han Fist."
"Boom!"
"Huh!"
Zhang Hao groaned, feeling as if he had been hit by eighteen wild horses. His entire body flew backward as if riding on clouds.
With a "Thud!" sound.
Zhang Hao fell to the ground. "Wow!" He felt a sweetness in his throat and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. His whole body almost fell apart.
Zhang Hao had gambled correctly. Gu Long indeed only used one layer of power. But even with his cultivation suppressed to the Great Martial Master Realm, using one layer of power was comparable to an ordinary Great Martial Master's 30% strength palm strike. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Hao's Luo Han Fist luckily triggered a critical hit. Otherwise, at this moment, if he wasn't dead, he would be crippled.
"Boss!"
"Brother!"
"Zhang Hao!"
Murong Ziqian, Jin Bao, Qin Zinan, and Grandpa all rushed over together.
"Huh!"
Gu Long was slightly surprised. Just now, he clearly felt that Zhang Hao's power had strangely doubled. This was truly a bit strange.
