Star Gate

Chapter 321: A Fierce Battle! (IV)

Ole Huang didn’t have the mental bandwidth to spare for wondering who his attacker was. He wanted to leave this forsaken place! All he needed to do was to tell Hu Qingfeng that Yu Xiao had died here. He rather regretted following Yu Xiao when the man left the hotel. So what if he managed to walk away victorious at this stage?

Ole Huang began to back away!

But would Li Hao let him go?

The young man stomped his foot and fractured the entire alley with a small quake. Walls collapsed as Li Hao charged forward with his sword!

“You...” Ole Huang was infuriated. It was plain to see that he wished to retreat. Couldn’t this person tell?? Do you have a death wish?!

He knew a few details behind the Incantation of the Blade of Blood, that the longer one used it, the greater the chance of death. You and I bear no grudge against each other, are you crazy?! Is killing Yu Xiao not enough, you aren’t willing to let me go either?

He could sense some incoming supernatural ripples. Their fight must be drawing a lot of attention. He didn’t want to continue battling this madman! Ole Huang swiftly materialized armor of golden energy around him.

“Have you lost your mind?! You can’t kill me and I don’t want to kill you...”

Bam!

Stellaris slashed through the energy armor in overwhelming fashion. Blood sprayed beneath the weapon. Ole Huang grunted, setting aside his attempts to talk! That stroke had almost taken his arm!

He looked at the sword in Li Hao’s hand with shock. What was that? An origin weapon? It didn’t seem like one, but it was so sharp that it was unbelievable. The weapon smashed through his defenses of peak Solar in one move!

By now, he knew that he’d made a grave mistake. He shouldn’t have focused on defense! There was nothing that this sword didn’t penetrate, so defense was an impossibility. He was stronger than his opponent and should’ve attacked!

Regathering his senses, Ole Huang punched Li Hao!

The young man brightened and responded in kind. BAM!

Immense force from the punch split Li Hao’s arm open and bloodied Ole Huang’s fist. Blood spurted everywhere.

Madman! Ole Huang cursed. He no longer dared remain on defense and struck proactively. He punched at the young man again, whereupon Li Hao stowed Stellaris. A sword was a hindrance in close quarters and would cost the young man time.

Punch against punch!

Bam bam bam!

Their fists collided innumerable times in the blink of an eye. Li Hao took a few steps back and shattered countless tiles with his feet. His right arm was drenched in blood and hung listlessly by his side. The bones within had all been smashed to smithereens!

Ole Huang heaved for air as blood dripped down his right arm. His opponent wasn’t as strong as him, but attacked in a reckless fashion without thought for his own life. After the exchange of blows, Ole Huang felt that his arm was just about crippled as well.

Li Hao flung himself forward while his opponent panted for breath. He kicked through the air instead of swinging his fists. His leather boots were in tattered pieces, but the sound of waves came from his feet. The Nine Forged Force!

Rumble!

Kick after kick after kick...

Crunch!

The sharp cracks of bones breaking came from his feet, but he smiled. Ole Huang’s arms were fractured in front of him; the man’s face turned white as blood drained out of them.

Ole Huang looked frostily at Li Hao and manifested a golden spear in front of him! Supernatural powerhouses are still fine when they’re crippled. We have mysterious power! But what can a martial master like you do when your arm and legs are crippled? No matter how vicious you are, our difference in strength is obvious. You’re less than me!

The spear hurtled through the air, aimed straight at Li Hao’s head despite the lack of a wielder. The young man grinned toothily and pounced, roaring without a sound. Silent sound waves reverberated through the air!

The spear shook!

Li Hao’s left arm was in good condition; it wielded Stellaris. Sword energy surged into his body as he swung the sword through the air. A streak of bright light arced through the darkness and sliced right through the golden spear!

However, the weapon exploded like Wang Ming’s Heavenly Maids Scattering Blossoms and scattered around Li Hao. Ole Huang knew this move too! His status as a peak Solar was well deserved and he was no shell shocked Yu Xiao. He was still in full battle condition.

A tremendous explosion echoed. Li Hao went flying like a rag doll, one covered in blood.

Face wan, Ole Huang snorted. How was this guy still not dying yet?

The young man fell to the ground and immediately scrambled to his feet. Despite coughing blood, he smiled. A sword wreathed in flames appeared—it roared with burning fury!

“Cut!” hollered Li Hao. He slashed forward, cutting through the firmament while operating Birdshot. The young man flapped forward in an incredulous fashion like he was the Silver Armor challenging the heavens. All enemies that stand in my way will be obliterated! No one is an exception!

Ole Huang’s eyes widened and he rapidly backed away. This guy was completely insane and he really didn’t want to fight anymore. However, a smear of fiery sparks erupted behind him. Both combatants’ expressions changed drastically. Li Hao was infuriated and burned with an anger that he could not voice.

“Kill!” He rampaged again, faster than before and striking with berserk determination!

Startled, Hao Lianchuan looked at him from behind Ole Huang. All the same, he didn’t stop and stabbed his weapon at the peak Solar. The deputy director was unable to describe his consternation, but there was also no time to think about it!

Caught in desperate straits, Ole Huang quickly seized up the situation and chose to face Li Hao! His rear felt very dangerous, more dangerous than his half crippled opponent! Thus, he chose to turn head-on to Li Hao. His spear rose in the air again, turning into a dozen, a hundred spears...

A chilly light sparkled in the void as Li Hao shot past the forest of spears. Bloody holes appeared on his body, but he still delivered a merciless stroke!

Pfft!

Ole Huang could only watch in horror as the sword approached him. The immense pressure behind him was so domineering that he could not retreat! He roared wrathfully and wanted to swing his fists again, but the short sword had already run through his head!

His fist continued to swing through the air with the last vestiges of glory and sent Li Hao flying again.

The young man crashed to the ground, looking for all intents and purposes like he was dead.

The spear behind Ole Huang ran him through; Hao Lianchuan flicked the man away like he was tossing a piece of trash. Unending shock filled his eyes when he scanned the battlefield!

It’d taken him only twenty seconds to reach the alley. This was his promise to Li Hao—ten seconds at the least, thirty seconds at the most. He’d come as fast as he could and now he was in a shocked daze.

Yu Xiao was dead and there were several other broken bodies on the ground! He also recognized the person that he’d just flung away—Huang Jie of the five from central headquarters. Peak Solar, a metal supernatural who was skilled in attack. He was a personage that Hao Lianchuan might not be able to defeat even when he had the Flaming Phoenix Spear in hand.

Together with Li Hao, the deputy director had so easily forced the man to death because when he arrived, Huang Jie had only half of his strength left at most! He was naturally no match for Hao Lianchuan and the Flaming Phoenix Spear under such circumstances. It was Li Hao who’d backed Huang Jie into this corner, no one else! A martial master who’d already killed a mid Solar!

Hao Lianchuan knew that Li Hao was behind their deaths because all of the corpses bore marks of sword light or prominent signs of the tiger aura. These were the methods of a martial master!

It was like he was getting to know the young man for the first time. The deputy director didn’t even have the mental capacity to spare for the young man—he didn’t know if Li Hao was dead or alive. There was no movement forthcoming from the prone figure on the ground.

His incredulity was too much to fathom. Was... this really Li Hao, and not Yuan Shuo? He wouldn’t think twice if it was Yuan Shuo who’d accomplished everything in the alley, but Li Hao??

Rays of light erupted in the distance as supernaturals swiftly converged upon the alley. No one could be allowed to witness this scene; Li Hao’s cover would be thoroughly blown. The greatest fool would be able to read the telltale signs of sword intent and the tiger aura.

Hao Lianchuan leapt into the air, ignoring the unmoving young man on the ground. He brandished the Flaming Phoenix Spear, causing the approaching supernaturals to grind to a halt. They recognized that origin weapon!

“Red alert!! Battle stations!!” Hao Lianchuan boomed. “Red Moon, you’re crazy to attack Li Hao within city confines! Damn you, all of you deserve to die! Move out, Night Watchers! Seal off the city, obliterate the enemy! Please exit seclusion, Director Hou!”

His roar shook the land!

A fiery phoenix soared majestically through the sky as the city stirred to action. Powerhouses jerked their heads upward with astonishment. Red Moon? Were they insane?! Attacking Li Hao with such fanfare like this, did all of them have a death wish?

A tremendous presence rose from the Night Watcher headquarters and light flashed through the void. An overwhelming air enveloped the southern quadrant of White Moon!

A titan was coming! Was it Hou Xiaochen? There didn’t seem to be anyone else apart from him. Eyes widening, the powerhouses drawing near the battlefield reversed their motion. No one dared come close. The skies were about to change!

Red Moon had gone completely crazy and those in the know were startled. This wasn’t the plan! Off in the distance, Hu Qingfeng frowned deeply. Was Blue Moon an idiot? They’d agreed to move against Hou Xiaochen together, why was he acting ahead of time?

That damned fool!

Hao Lianchuan’s expression shifted rapidly in the air. It wasn’t until a figure on the ground began stirring to life that he heaved a sigh of relief. All the same, stupefaction was writ large in his eyes.

How... strong... are you, Li Hao?
