Zhang Hao ignored the shock of the people around him and calmly walked up to Ye Tianhua. With a half-smile, he said, "Ye Tianhua, is it? How do you want to die?"
Ye Tianhua's face showed fear, and he suddenly shouted towards the shadow beside him, "Cousin, aren't you coming out yet?"
"Cousin?"
Su Ruyi and Su Ziyi were both a little surprised.
"Hahaha, as expected, there's a good show! Originally, I wasn't interested in your little scuffle, Cousin, but now it seems a bit interesting."
As the voice fell, a grey-clothed youths appeared. This grey-clothed youths floated in the void, his hands behind his back, and a vast pressure emanated from his body.
"Martial... Martial King..."
Su Ziyi, Su Ruyi, and the others were all in despair.
A Great Martial Master could fly in the air, but had to land and breathe every few breaths. It was impossible to suspend for a long time; only Martial Warriors above the Martial King realm could do this. This youths was undoubtedly a Martial King.
Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Ye Tianhua said to Su Ziyi proudly, "Su Ziyi, to be absolutely sure, I also invited my cousin this time. My cousin Ma Sheng is a students in the Inner Courtyard of Tianba Academy. To deal with you, he alone is enough."
Su Ziyi, Su Ruyi, Dai Dacheng, and Bai Xiaojun all despaired. They couldn't even muster a hint of resistance. It was no wonder; there was an insurmountable gap between a Martial King and a Great Martial Master. Moreover, the other party was from Tianba Academy, one of the Three Great Academies.
"Kid, just kill yourself!"
Ma Sheng's gaze landed on Zhang Hao's face, sharp as a knife.
"Hahaha... A bit interesting, Tianba Academy? Tsk tsk, I've killed quite a few students from Tianba Academy, and you'll be the next." Zhang Hao looked at Ma Sheng, his voice cold.
Ma Sheng's heart trembled, and he found that the other party's gaze on him felt like a mountain of pressure. This feeling was one he only had when facing the top ten Senior Apprentice Brothers in the Inner Courtyard.
"You... who are you?" Ma Sheng looked at Zhang Hao with some fear.
Zhang Hao said to himself, "When Gong Wencai was arrogant in front of me, I took care of him. When your College's Deputy Dean Gu Long was arrogant in front of me, I also took care of him. Who do you say I am?"
"Dean Gu and Senior Apprentice Brother Gong were killed by you?"
Ma Sheng couldn't stop his fear as he looked at Zhang Hao and trembled, "You... you are Zhang Hao from Tianwu Academy?"
Zhang Hao, that was the killing star of Tianba Academy. The number of people from Tianba Academy who died in Zhang Hao's hands was innumerable, even including the Deputy Dean of Tianba Academy.
Tianba Academy had long listed Zhang Hao as a must-kill target. They just never had the chance. Not only Tianba Academy, but it was said that the Inner Courtyard Genius Jiang Xinwu from Changfeng Academy also died by his hand.
"Correct answer, no prize. You can die now!"
Zhang Hao flew towards Ma Sheng. He punched down.
This punch was light, as if it had no force. But Ma Sheng felt a great mountain pressing down. The surrounding air was instantly cleared.
"No..."
"Sky Blade Slash!"
Endless blade light poured down towards Zhang Hao's location. At the same time, Ma Sheng frantically retreated.
"Death throes!"
Zhang Hao's stance remained unchanged, shattering Ma Sheng's blade light with a punch. He followed like a shadow, catching up to Ma Sheng. He punched him in the body.
"Bang!"
Ma Sheng let out a scream. His chest was pierced by Zhang Hao's punch. He fell to the ground, already a corpse. His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief. There was even a hint of regret.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao, for killing Ma Sheng. Experience points 10000, True Qi 1000, Frenzy Energy 10."
Truly poor! Although Ma Sheng was a Martial King, he was only a beginner Martial King. The experience points were better than nothing.
Zhang Hao walked towards Ye Tianhua again.
Ye Tianhua was scared silly at this moment, trembling all over.
"Spare me, First Brother, spare me, First Brother! I don't want to die!" Ye Tianhua's face was full of fear.
Zhang Hao shook his head. Such a person was not even worthy of dying by his hand. Therefore, Zhang Hao kicked Ye Tianhua.
Ye Tianhua screamed and fell in front of Su Ziyi. Zhang Hao said to her, "Ziyi, I'll leave him to you to deal with!"
Su Ziyi looked at Zhang Hao gratefully, then looked coldly at Ye Tianhua kneeling before her and said, "What do you think?"
"Ziyi, please spare me? I beg you. I don't want to die!" Ye Tianhua kowtowed to Su Ziyi like a pestle pounding garlic.
"Sister, don't listen to his sweet talk. Kill him and be done with it, lest he try to ambush us again next time, and Zhang Dage won't be here then." Su Ruyi shyly glanced at Zhang Hao beside her.
No one noticed that Su Ruyi's address for Zhang Hao had suddenly upgraded from 'kid' to Zhang Dage. Clearly, her impression of him had greatly improved.
"If you had known this day would come, why did you do it back then!"
Su Ziyi swung her sword, cutting off Ye Tianhua's neck.
Ye Tianhua screamed. He fell in a pool of blood, constantly touching his bleeding neck. After struggling for a while, he stopped moving.
"Zhang Brother, thank you." Su Ziyi walked up to Zhang Hao and looked at him gratefully.
Zhang Hao waved his hand indifferently and said, "It just happened to be the right time. What's more, I was protecting myself; they didn't plan on letting me go anyway."
"Zhang Dage, why did you hide it from us? You're really too naughty." Su Ruyi looked at Zhang Hao shyly.
Zhang Hao noticed the spring-like look on Su Ruyi's pretty face and inwardly thought it wasn't good. Although his attitude towards beautiful women was to let fate decide, he hadn't expected to develop a new relationship here in the Balong Empire. Therefore, Zhang Hao secretly told himself to keep his composure.
"Haha, I didn't hide it! My name is also real. I just didn't tell you I was from Tianwu Academy." Zhang Hao laughed.
The few of them thought about it carefully, and it seemed that was indeed the case. Zhang Hao didn't seem to have deceived them about anything, neither his name nor his origin.
"But, since you're so powerful, why didn't you tell us? You made us worry so much?" Su Ruyi pouted.
Zhang Hao shrugged and said innocently, "That's unfair to me. I can't just meet someone and tell them I'm very powerful and invincible throughout the world, can I? Wouldn't that be silly?"
"Pfft!"
Su Ruyi and Su Ziyi couldn't help but laugh.
"That's true, alright, Zhang Dage, I forgive you." Su Ruyi smiled.
"Oh, right, where's that guy Nangong Ming?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise.
"It seems he ran away during the chaos just now. Don't worry about him, that heartless scoundrel." There was a sharp glint in Su Ziyi's eyes.
Towards this master who could instantly kill a Martial King, Su Ruyi showed great admiration. From then on, she chirped around him every day.
"Zhang Dage, traveling is boring. Why don't you sing a song?" Su Ruyi smiled.
"Okay, although I'm tone-deaf, I still like to sing. This song is one that your Zhang Dage likes very much. It's called 'Jianghu Road'."
Without complaint or regret, I walk my path,
The end of the world road is endless.
In the wind and clouds, you chase and I pursue,
Who will end the grudges?
