Star Gate

Chapter 484: Commencing (III)

“Alright!” Light Sword said nothing else. Since Li Hao had said so, then let it be so. She would wait for Yuan Shuo!

He Yong laughed and looked meaningfully at the swordswoman. Veteran martial masters were all highly confident in Yuan Shuo without considering how strong he actually was at the moment. Light Sword had likely just created enormous future trouble for herself.

The woman took in a deep breath and turned without a word. She would wait! If she succeeded, she wouldn’t be afraid of Yuan Shuo even if he completed training that so-called Summoner of Spirit.

“She looks to be in a hurry!” Hong Yitang suddenly laughed out loud when she left. “And Li Hao, you’re going to release the news, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Then... things will be interesting. Your teacher will likely have to fight Ying Hongyue to the death in the days to come. I don’t know if your news is forcing yourself, your teacher, or Ying Hongyue down a narrow path.”

Li Hao smiled as well. “It’s all the same. With pressure comes motivation. My teacher is thus, I am thus.”

As Light Sword walked out of the city and the group conversed, a massive explosion rang through the air!

“You’re crazy, Hou Xiaochen!” Green Moon howled. “How dare you attack us! Do you think those in the city will really help you?!”

Decisive to a fault, Hou Xiaochen had made his move. He couldn’t be bothered to wait after Light Sword left. Battle commenced in a split second.

Rumble!!

Consecutive explosions blasted through the air and a flaming red spear illuminated the void. It swept through the air and suppressed the late Nova Green Moon and mid Nova Blue Moon.

Kong Jie’s fists slammed down, forcing the Parity King backwards. He kept the three Yama Novas at bay all by himself!

The battle was on!

Just as Hou Xiaochen thought, the wandering cultivators scattered in all directions when the Novas clashed. No matter if there was another way out of the ruins or not, they fled in panicked horror!

......

He Yong itched to join the action. “It’s merits as far as the eye can see!” He looked down the wall. “Li Hao, are we really not going out there?”

Li Hao landed on the ground inside the city and swiftly flew toward the gate. “Let’s wait by the gate, but stay inside. Be careful that our director might take us down with the rest of the enemy.”

The trio swiftly flew to the gates, followed shortly by the three Silver Armors. Director General Wang did not make an appearance. Panther ran with the group, excitedly following his human.

......

BOOM!

While the battle had erupted with abrupt ferocity, both sides were prepared. The three great organizations had been afraid of the Silver Moon authorities taking action, so they were ready to respond. Even so, Green Moon and the others came under enormous pressure when actual battle was joined!

Hou Xiaochen ripped through all of their defenses with jab after jab. Blue Moon and Green Moon could not withstand the awful pressure and threw caution to the wind, summoning their origin weapons.

The Party King was the same. An origin weapon shaped like a house floated to the fore, enveloping the area and turning it into a sinister hell. Countless minor ghosts appeared in the hell and pounced on Kong Jie!

Kong Jie’s blood qi was ferocious enough to rip through innumerable ghosts with one massive explosion. “I was yet to clearly sense Yama’s bloodlust before,” he sighed. “But now, I can feel some of it. Parity, your origin weapon is nothing good. These dead souls are your victims, aren’t they? There are thousands here, did you once massacre a city?!”

A vicious expression hung on the Parity King’s face as he cursed to himself. If it wasn’t for the lack of his sixteen hell masters, it should be them wielding the origin weapon. Combined with the Avici Iron Net, his strength would be sufficient to overcome even a peak Nova! But now... damn it!

How he raged at his circumstances! Yama had been quite confident in sending him here as he was very strong and reinforced by the sixteen hell masters. He was stronger than Green Moon, but now he was a far cry from that. It was all Li Hao’s fault... Where had his hell masters gone?! Were they dead?? He quite regretted letting Revolution leave with them.

“Stop forcing me, Kong Jie!”

“Looks like that’s what I wanna do!”

BOOM!

Another punch blasted forth as Kong Jie sent blood qi soaring to the heavens! He was as if a roaring lion, a ferocious tiger broken out of its cage!

Li Hao turned to He Yong with surprise. “Is he Northern Fist?”

“No.” He Yong shook his head. “Northern Fist doesn’t fight like that. His fists are like Ole Hong’s sword—boundless, majestic, and vast. Kong Jie’s fists are those of bloodlust. Mine are of domination! If this guy hadn’t joined the government, we would’ve been the Three Fists of Silver Moon. Since he did, we didn’t give him a place on the ranking.”

“Is he one of the three commanders?”

“No.” He Yong shook his head again. “Hou Xiaochen is one of them, the other is like Huang Yun. The last... could be your Director General Zhao. We’re not sure.”

“Deputy Zhou also seems to be a powerhouse...”

“Him?” He Yong thought for a bit. “Who knows? He’s worked with Zhao for many years. Perhaps the third commander is two people?”

Li Hao blinked, that was a possibility he hadn’t considered before. But, considering their many years of partnership, that was possible. As a royal instructor, He Yong knew a lot of inside intelligence. Since he had said so, he must have his reasons and theories.

As they chatted, the first to flare with power was none other than Yu Luocha!

Manager Yu’s presence was like a demon’s—sinister and malevolent! Her opponent was Elder Crimson of Celestial, a mid Nova assassin. He’d disappeared into the void, but suddenly reappeared with an ominous air around him. Yu Luocha slammed her palm outward, delivering a nauseating sensation with a pungent scent of gore so dense that it was putrid.

Li Hao’s eyes widened. Her killing intent was so strong! How many had she killed to accumulate that?

“Yu Luocha’s Luocha Palm is honed through killing. She was no kind soul either in her day. Without your teacher commanding attention after killing some famous martial masters, the demon of the martial world would be her!”

“The three commanders didn’t kill her?” Li Hao asked with surprise. Her hands were covered in blood. Had Hou Xiaochen shown her mercy just because she was a woman?

“Her story is complicated,” He Yong chuckled. “She joined the martial world for revenge. She comes from a family of martial masters, but her family was butchered by others. She forged her way in blood, reaping the lives of her enemies. Although she killed many in the name of avenging her family, Hou Xiaochen likely had his own rules of assessment. He didn’t kill her.

“Old lecher Ying Hongyue then set his sights on her, she left with him when the supernatural rose. She doesn’t cleave to a sense of right or wrong and joined Hou Xiaochen probably because he was a handsome lad back in the day. He showed her mercy, she became his fangirl, and so you have your Manager Yu.”

Li Hao said no further, simply watching Yu Luocha’s bloody palm. Its killing intent was so strong and the scent of gore so dense that even the premier assassin’s cloak was ripped to shreds. A young face came into view—Elder Crimson was rather young!

“Yu Luocha...”

BOOM!

Crimson wanted to say something, yet Yu Luocha was in no mood to talk. She thrust palm after palm in a frenzied fashion, at complete odds with her usual calm. She stopped when a black origin weapon manifested in front of the other. When his battle strength soared, Yu Luocha grunted and summoned a pair of thin, scarlet gloves to her hands.

The scent of gore increased by thirty percent when she slammed her hand down and the nauseating sensation permeated throughout the outer city.

BAM!

Elder Crimson could not withstand Yu Luocha! This powerhouse that’d assassinated Novas before hardly seemed the part now. He quickly fled into the void again, wanting to escape. Li Hao turned to watch other parts of the battlefield.

Golden Spear faced a Celestial initial Nova. The latter was being beaten away by the man’s spear and had no room to return blows.

The young man wasn’t surprised. Golden Spear was a pure martial master with extra battle strength. As agile and unpredictable as the other’s movements were, he was fenced in when meeting Golden Spear. The tremendous spear intent pierced through the darkness and reflected through the gloom, leaving no place for the other to hide.

Off on the other side, Hu Qingfeng seemed to be just going through the motions. He approached Kong Jie as he fought the Liu youngster, possibly wanting to ambush the man. Qi Gang fought the Near River general to a standstill. Hu Dingfang and the others were chasing after some wandering cultivators...

Li Hao raised an eyebrow at the sight, it seemed that the Silver Moon authorities didn’t need them. They could dispatch their opponents all on their own. Granted, difficulty would still be high if they wanted to kill their targets.

Light Sword did not act. After delivering some threats to Li Hao, she’d walked out of the outer city and was leaving with the wandering cultivators. Li Hao wasn’t sure what the old woman was thinking.

It was then that the unexpected occurred.
