Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"You are still dawdling, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill him for me!" Chai Jian urged loudly from the side.

During the chase, he had asked the man in black, Chu Hao was only at the Single-Meridian Realm, so a Four-Meridian against a Single-Meridian, the victory was naturally assured. But you slashed once and then started having a seizure, what the hell are you doing?

The man in black showed strong apprehension, the opponent was so young yet possessed the power to contend with him, what did this mean?

A genius!

The combat power of a genius could not be measured by common sense, so he must not underestimate the opponent just because his realm was low. And that one strike just now had also told him that the opponent's combat power was terrifying.

"What should I call you?" the man in black asked. If the opponent was a disciple from a prestigious sect, he wouldn't fight to the death with him. Those disciples had terrifying life-saving techniques, it wouldn't be surprising if they dragged him to death along with them.

He served as a guard for the Chai family because he hoped Chai Kang would become a top expert in the future and bring him benefits. But risking his life for such a possibility was something he was unwilling to do.

Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "Asking who I am now? Too late! I've already said, since you made a move on me, I won't hold back!"

Whoosh, his figure moved, already launching an attack.

Sky Wind Eight Styles.

Chu Hao used his ultimate move right from the start; he wanted to resolve the fight quickly. Who knew when the Yellow Eyebrowed Elder would catch up?

The man in black swung his knife to meet the attack, but as soon as they made contact, his face changed dramatically. He felt the strong wind brushing past, his skin felt as if it was being cut by a knife, unbearably painful.

Even the force brought by the palm wind was so intense, how powerful was this Palm Technique?

His eyes widened, but the surroundings seemed to turn pitch black; he couldn't see where Chu Hao's hands were at all! If he couldn't even see his opponent's hands, how could he block?

Of course, he wasn't blind, it was just that the Palm Technique was too powerful.

He had to block even if he couldn't.

He gritted his teeth, poured his energy into the knife, turning it into a dancing silver snake, protecting himself completely.

This wasn't a Treasure Artifact, but the material reached the Seventh Grade level, enough to withstand the power of a Martial Sect level and the force of Starlight.

Chu Hao used the Jade Wall Technique, making his hands as smooth as jade, utilizing Sky Wind Eight Styles to break through the opponent's seemingly impenetrable defense.

Boom!

His palm struck the knife, immediately sparking a series of sparks. The man in black felt a numbness in his right hand, Shocking Force had followed through the knife, causing his arm bone to tremble continuously, almost making him lose grip of the handle.

Although his martial talent wasn't high, he had survived for many years and had rich combat experience. He immediately pushed out his left hand, striking towards Chu Hao.

Buzz, the four-foot-long Starlight, longer than most Treasure Swords, directly stabbing towards Chu Hao's chest.

Chu Hao blocked with his left hand, Starlight met Starlight, the two forces collided, causing both of their arms to deflect, missing the target. But Chu Hao's right hand continued to strike towards the man in black, the force was astonishing.

The man in black quickly retreated to avoid the attack.

Chu Hao pursued the victory, raising his right hand, unleashing a Crescent Slash, giving the man in black no chance to catch his breath.

What?

The man in black was in disbelief; at their level, they could launch long-range attacks, but the energy released was only fist wind or palm force, without the ability to integrate Starlight, greatly reducing the power.

For example, a Six-Meridian Martial Sect's fist wind, after leaving the body for one meter, its power would reduce to a Five-Meridian level, at two meters even Three-Meridian might not be maintained, and beyond ten meters only Single-Meridian power remained.

But he was a full four meters away from Chu Hao, the opponent's power showed no signs of weakening, how could he not be shocked?

Not to mention, he hadn't even caught his breath and dared not defend this attack head-on, he could only retreat again.

Chu Hao used the Sky Stepping Technique, both hands moved continuously, unleashing Crescent Slashes one after the other, completely suppressing the opponent.

What is happening?

Chai Jian's eyes widened, his expression baffled and unable to accept it.

A Four-Meridian Martial Sect being suppressed by a Single-Meridian, must be a joke, right?

He realized he had provoked the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Chai Jian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart; the martial world was so cruel, provoking the wrong person could mean death.

He didn't want to die at all.

Should he escape? Else, once his guard was dealt with, how could he, a mere Three-Meridian martial master, escape from a Martial Sect? As for the life or death of that guard, he didn't care at all.

Boom!

Just as he thought of fleeing, he saw a figure almost brushing past his ear, hitting the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust. Turning his head, he was horrified to see that the person who was thrown out was his guard.

Looking back, he saw Chu Hao leisurely walking towards him.

He couldn't help but feel his teeth chattering, a chill rising from his heart, almost wetting his pants.

"I warn you, my brother is Chai Kang, ranked on the Fledgling Dragon List—uh!" His voice abruptly stopped, looking in disbelief at the fist in his chest. In fact, the fist hadn't really touched him, but a Starlight had already pierced his chest.

With his heart pierced, there was only the road of death.

At this moment, countless thoughts flew through Chai Jian's mind, anger, regret, but most of all, disbelief. He was actually dead? He was actually going to die?

"Why so much nonsense!" Chu Hao withdrew his fist, and Chai Jian's body went limp, falling to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with grievances unvented.

Chu Hao glanced at the man in black, who was severely injured but not dead. He thought for a moment and decided to let him live; after all, the man was just following Chai Jian's orders.

The main culprit was dead, the accomplice heavily injured, it was enough.

He walked towards the forest. Just after entering the dense forest, he saw a figure flying towards his direction. Although it was just a glimpse and far away, with his current eyesight, he could see clearly.

It was the Yellow Eyebrowed Elder.

Controlling the artifact to fly, at least a Warrior.

Instinctively, he thought this was the person who competed with him for the White Jade Ginseng.

Fortunately, he entered the forest in time. Otherwise, even if he had taken a little more time to finish off the man in black, he would have definitely been caught by now. The Warrior against Martial Sect had an obvious outcome.

"Damned brat, stand still for me!" the Yellow Eyebrowed Elder shouted, but upon reaching the dense forest area, he had to descend.

—Flying above the dense forest, the view was completely obstructed, and flying within the dense forest meant constantly crashing into things, making visibility even worse.

Chu Hao sneered, who would stand still? But just like police chasing a thief would shout "stand still," it was ineffective but necessary. He didn't reply, just sped up, like a leopard, silently merging into the forest.

The Yellow Eyebrowed Elder gave chase for a while and then gave up. The saying "don't enter the woods when pursued" crossed his mind. Although he didn't fear being ambushed by Chu Hao, once distance was opened, catching up again would be impossible.

Unless he had special tracking methods.

Damn, the White Jade Ginseng could save lives.

Muttering to himself, the elder left the forest. Upon seeing that the man in black was still alive, he released his anger on him, delivering a punch from the air, blasting the man's head open, scattering red and white matter all over.

He took out his Treasure Artifact and flew away, disappearing instantly.

...

"What did you say, my brother is dead?" At the Chai family, a handsome young man just emerged from seclusion, only to receive the enraging news.

He was Chai Kang, ranked 28th on the Fledgling Dragon List, a super genius.

"Yes... yes!" The servant reporting to him was trembling in fear. Although Chai Kang was just a Four-Meridian Martial Sect, the pressure he exerted was more terrifying than a Warrior's.

Chai Kang took a deep breath, suppressing his fury, and asked, "Who killed my brother?"

"I don't know." The servant shook his head, but seeing Chai Kang about to explode, quickly added, "But according to others, the second young master was outbidden for the Star Shattering Pill at the auction, so he chased the person down, and was then found dead outside the city."

Flames of anger reignited in Chai Kang's eyes. Such a coincidence, he had just returned home to visit his parents and gained new insights. For a Martial Artist, such epiphanies were extremely precious. He couldn't miss the opportunity, so he immediately entered seclusion, letting his brother bid for the Star Shattering Pill on his behalf.

Who would've thought this would bring death upon Chai Jian.

He had the servant describe Chu Hao's appearance in detail. After listening, his expression darkened, and his index finger twitched slightly, indicating his intent to kill.

Such a young man, barely in his twenties, yet daring enough to kill Chai Kang's brother. Didn't he know who Chai Kang was, the chief core disciple of Qinghua Sect, ranked 28th on the Fledgling Dragon List?

He must be killed.

Standing up abruptly, he said, "Take me to see my brother's body."

"Yes, young master!" The servant didn't dare lift his head, responding in a trembling voice.

By then, Chai Jian's body had long been brought back, lying in the main hall. A plump and beautiful woman was weeping uncontrollably over his chest. She was, of course, Chai Kang and Chai Jian's mother.

"Mother!" Chai Kang called.

"Kang'er, you must avenge your brother!" Madam Chai raised her head upon hearing her elder son's voice, her eyes full of hatred, "Your father says the culprit has escaped into the forest; he can't be chased down. But you mustn't let it go. You must tear that man to pieces!"

"I know, Mother, don't worry, I will make sure he regrets being born into this world!" Chai Kang said coldly.

He dipped his fingers in Chai Jian's blood, chanting some words. His eyes turned white, seemingly losing their pupils. Moments later, he said, "I've used the Bloodline Soul Searching Technique and found the culprit's location!"

"Bring your father and capture that man immediately!" Madam Chai ordered harshly.

"I alone am enough, that man is merely a Single-Meridian Martial Sect!" Chai Kang sneered. From the wounds on Chai Jian's body, he deduced Chu Hao's cultivation realm.
