Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Madman, take this!" Miao Yujun attacked, slashing with her sword as a myriad of Vajra Giants reappeared, smashing toward Chu Hao.

This technique had a startlingly similar beauty to the Mad Thunder Sword Technique.

Chu Hao secretly noted in his heart that the second style of the Mad Thunder Sword Technique could condense the Thunder Element between heaven and earth to form an electric ball, while the third style, Thunder Dragon's Roar, went even further, forming the Thunder Element into a Thunder Dragon.

Which was more powerful—lightning or Vajra Giants?

He couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and competitiveness. With a shake of his right hand, Thunder Dragon's Roar roared out.

Zzzzzz, an electric arc formed at the tip of the sword, quickly condensing into a blazing white electric ball, then transforming into a Thunder Dragon several meters long, heading straight for the oncoming Vajra Giants.

Break for me!

Chu Hao shouted in his heart. The Thunder Dragon immediately whipped its tail, striking the Vajra Giants' clubs. Crackle, crackle, lightning raged, exploding with terrifying power and causing devastating effects. The earth groaned, seemingly unable to bear the burden.

"What?" Miao Yujun was astonished beyond measure as she saw her Vajra Giants collapsing one by one.

Fear flashed in her eyes, and she quickly leaped back. But the Might of the Thunder Dragon did not dissipate; it continued to pounce on her, its whiskers trembling like a True Dragon of the Nine Heavens.

However, the Thunder Dragon was not a True Dragon. It was formed by Chu Hao's Star Force condensing the Thunder Element, so its effective time was limited. Without hitting anyone, it would naturally dissipate after a time.

Miao Yujun retreated a hundred meters. Seeing the Thunder Dragon beginning to dissipate, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she raised her sword to counterattack, she saw Chu Hao already closing in on her like a shadow.

A sword strike came, fast as lightning.

She hadn't yet caught her breath and was powerless to launch a strong counterattack, so she could only continue to dodge backward.

Smack!

At that moment, she felt a pain on her buttocks, as if she had been struck heavily.

"Madman! Rogue!" Miao Yujun was so angry that her pretty face turned red.

"You wicked woman, today I'll teach you a good lesson!" Chu Hao was also thoroughly upset. This woman had the typical ailment of High Tier Martial Artists—she didn't regard the lives of ordinary people at all.

Today, she must profoundly remember this lesson!

"You still dare to teach me a lesson?" Miao Yujun was almost driven mad with rage.

"Hmph, you dared to fight in the city. Do you have any regard for human life at all?" Chu Hao's long sword suppressed her, while his left hand continuously launched Crescent Slash. Arc-shaped blades of Star Force danced, frequently striking Miao Yujun.

In Miao Yujun's mind, Chu Hao was completely equated with a "lecher" and "scoundrel." However, after failing to defeat him in one move, she could only retreat repeatedly under Chu Hao's pressure, unable to launch any counterattacks.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

She was repeatedly hit by Crescent Slashes. Even though she defended with Star Force, she couldn't entirely shield herself, causing her to frown in pain. Moreover, she was incredibly aggrieved and furious. As an adult, she was getting spanked.

This damned rogue!

Actually, Chu Hao had shown some restraint. Otherwise, if he had incorporated Starlight into his Crescent Slashes, the destructive power would have increased dramatically, leaving Miao Yujun's delicate body drenched in blood.

But even so, under Chu Hao's continuous attacks, Miao Yujun's body became increasingly "plump." It wasn't because she was suddenly developing but because she was swelling from the blows.

"Bastard, I'll fight you to the death!" Miao Yujun cried out, tears streaming down her face. How could she have ever suffered such humiliation? She roared in anger, launching a reckless counterattack against Chu Hao.

Chu Hao found her annoying, but he wasn't to the point of wanting to kill her. Seeing her like this, he withdrew his sword momentum.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miao Yujun finally caught her breath and regained control of the situation.

Chu Hao smiled faintly. What was the point of this?

With the Thunder Dragon's Roar exploding out, everything returned to its original trajectory.

"Die!" Miao Yujun's face turned pale as she swung her sword at Chu Hao, and the Vajra Giants reappeared.

"Still don't know your lesson?" Chu Hao coldly snorted, and the Deep Blue Sword trembled, with the Thunder Dragon also materializing.

Boom!

The two of them once again unleashed their strongest ultimate moves in a full-power clash, without any holding back, purely showcasing their combat power.

"Ugh!" Miao Yujun couldn't help but vomit blood. Her delicate body trembled, and she felt the world spinning, hardly able to stand.

Chu Hao also felt very uncomfortable, his right hand trembling. The Deep Blue Sword felt as heavy as a mountain, making it incredibly difficult to hold. But his Physique far surpassed Miao Yujun's, and a month of eating Dragon Tooth Rice wasn't in vain.

Soon, he stabilized himself.

It's over!

Miao Yujun's vision blurred, yet she could still make out Chu Hao striding toward her. Panic filled her heart. If she had known this kid was so formidable, she should have brought Zhuo Yunshan with her. Together, they would have definitely defeated Chu Hao.

But there was no medicine for regret in this world.

Falling into this **'s hands...what kind of tragic fate awaited her?

Pitiful as she was with her stunning beauty and exceptional Martial Talent, she was about to be ravaged by a **—smack!

She was wallowing in self-pity when she suddenly felt a sharp pain. She had been struck heavily again. This time, it wasn't the Crescent Slash but Chu Hao's large hand. She felt his furious face as he raised his right hand high and brought it down mercilessly.

"Ugh—" Miao Yujun twisted her body desperately, trying to break free. She was ranked 41st on the Fledgling Dragon List, but now she was being pressed down and spanked. How could she bear such humiliation?

"Wicked woman, do you think just because you're pretty, all men in the world must covet you?" Chu Hao was incensed, slapping her relentlessly. He had warned her before, if she caused him trouble again, he would beat her until she couldn't sit!

He hadn't murderous intent, as he did see her exposed after all, so he was showing some mercy—but only this once.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

He slapped her heavily with each strike. Despite her steadfast martial will, Miao Yujun couldn't help but cry. It wasn't because of the pain but the sheer humiliation.

Chu Hao snorted, casually throwing Miao Yujun to the ground, and said, "First, don't provoke me again in the future! Second, think before you act; will innocent people die because of you?"

"Otherwise, next time it won't be your butt I'll be hitting, but I'll be sending you to your final rest!"

As he said the last sentence, his voice turned cold, as if it came from an ice cave.

Miao Yujun's body involuntarily shivered. By the time she regained her composure, Chu Hao had already disappeared.

That damned rogue!

Miao Yujun clenched her fists in secret. She had to obtain the Red Jade Fruit. With the improvement of her Single-Meridian power, even if she couldn't suppress Chu Hao, she could at least have the strength to fight him.

...

Chu Hao didn't give Miao Yujun another thought. After returning to the inn, he slept soundly. The next day, he first cultivated for three hours, then continued to craft Treasure Artifacts at the blacksmith's shop.

After all, it was unclear how much Overlord Body Jue would fetch in the auction, so he had to accumulate as much wealth as possible.

Miao Yujun and Zhuo Yunshan did not come looking for him again, presumably having set off to Shangfang Mountain to search for the Red Jade Fruit. Actually, Chu Hao also coveted such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but he couldn't bring himself to kill and rob.

Besides, what he wanted most was a body refinement technique, allowing him to fully utilize the effects of Dragon Tooth Rice.

Three days passed quickly. Including the previous days, Chu Hao had crafted a total of five Treasure Artifacts, all swords, as that was the weapon he was familiar with.

Five eighth-rank Three-Hole Treasure Weapons, at forty thousand each, could bring him two hundred thousand Star Stones in wealth. It wasn't a lot, but this was the wealth he had created in just five days, which was astonishing.

He arrived at the auction house and waited for it to begin.

Fortunately, this wasn't a large auction. Although the martial arts level in Red Maple City was high, not many strong Martial Artists attended, with the strongest being a War General—and only one of them.

Soon, the auction began.

All five of Chu Hao's swords were auctioned early on. After all, they were just eighth rank, and they only qualified for auction because of their three holes; otherwise, two-hole weapons wouldn't even have qualified.

The five swords were auctioned off for a total of two hundred and thirty thousand, over ten percent more than the base price, which satisfied Chu Hao greatly.

Halfway through the auction, Overlord Body Jue finally appeared.
