Chapter 46 Robbery!
Normally, Chu Hao would have no chance of escaping the pursuit of this enormous creature.
It was at least a fifth-tier Great Mahayana realm, and with its vast size, its speed must have far surpassed Chu Hao's! But the problem was, this gorilla had just been blinded in one eye!
In such a short time, how could it adapt? It intended to run in a straight line, but in reality, once it started moving, it drifted diagonally, staggering like a drunkard.
This gave Chu Hao a chance!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gorilla smashed the houses along its path to rubble, its formidable body and tremendous strength easily making this possible. However, according to Chu Hao's conjecture, the reason why the gorilla was acting like a headless fly was not only because it had lost an eye, but its brain must have been damaged too!
Despite the ferocious beast's huge size, a sword had pierced deep into its brain, and the injury was severe!
He had no hope of directly confronting this ferocious beast, but if he could keep it up, he could definitely exhaust the gorilla to death!
Retreating was not an option; he had already been targeted by the ferocious beast and had no other choice!
Run! Run! Run!
Chu Hao took on the role of the navigator, while the gorilla acted like a violent demolition crew, charging along and destroying the houses in their path. Fortunately, the city's residents had already evacuated, leaving the streets and houses empty, otherwise, there would have been massive casualties.
On a distant high building, Madam Yun stood elegantly, the breeze flattering her dress, accentuating her voluptuous and captivating body. Beside her, Uncle Yuan stood with utmost reverence.
"Madam, should I go kill that Rock Ape?" Uncle Yuan watched Chu Hao being chased and asked Madam Yun for instructions.
Madam Yun shook her head, saying, "No need! This kind of life-and-death pressure is what will fully squeeze out his potential, it's good training for him!"
"But his strength—" Uncle Yuan hesitated.
"Chu Hao's previous sword had already injured the Rock Ape's brain. Now it is just flaunting its remaining might; it won't be long before it dies!" Madam Yun said nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned about the catastrophe of the beast attacking the city.
Uncle Yuan, however, was worried that Chu Hao wouldn't last, fearing that a slight oversight could send him to his doom!
This was indeed a rare talent!
"Madam, please let me follow him secretly!" he asked again.
"Go then!" Madam Yun did not object this time, "Some might take advantage of this situation to harm Chu Hao! If such people emerge, just stop them covertly! We must always keep the pressure on this young man, as only pressure can fast-track a genius's growth!"
"Yes, Madam!" Uncle Yuan accepted the command and left.
Madam Yun stood proud and alluring, like a delicate rose blooming fiercely in this world of blood and slaughter.
...
Chu Hao gasped for breath, his physical strength vastly depleted from running at high speed, and the psychological strain was even greater! How tremendous was the pressure of being chased by a beast of at least the fifth-tier Great Mahayana realm?
But his mind was utterly unshaken!
He had great confidence in his previous sword; as long as he could keep it up, he was sure to win!
"Aow! Aow!" The giant ape cried out, its brain increasingly in pain and its blinded right eye plunging it into endless darkness, making it furiously restless, wishing it could completely destroy everything.
It thumped its chest and roared, chasing after Chu Hao once more, only to lose its balance with one step and crash heavily to the ground with a loud thump. The injury was getting worse!
Chu Hao thought, yet his feet did not stop; the giant ape was still breathing! With such a dangerous creature, as long as it was not dead, it remained extremely hazardous!
True enough, the ferocious ape quickly got up again, its single eye blood-red.
It bellowed again and continued the chase after Chu Hao.
However, the most dangerous time had passed; the ferocious beast staggered even more, losing its accuracy.
The speed of the ferocious ape became slower and finally collapsed with a thunderous fall, raising a cloud of dust.
Chu Hao stopped, panting heavily.
He had actually killed a ferocious beast of the Great Mahayana realm, and not just any tier, but at least the fifth!
Of course, this wasn't his true strength. Special circumstances and timing had given him the opportunity to strike a fatal blow; otherwise, a fifth-tier Great Mahayana beast could easily crush him instantly! But it had to be acknowledged, this ferocious ape indeed died by his hand.
"However, the life force of ferocious beasts is truly tenacious; hit critically with a sword, it still held on for such a long time!" Chu Hao pondered, in future battles against high-tier ferocious beasts, one must never let down their guard after a successful strike—doing so could cost one's life!
Whoosh, a figure suddenly burst forth, holding a Sharp Sword, and quickly stabbed the giant ape twice. This sword must also be of the Divine Weapon level, as the giant ape had highly defensive fur, yet these two strikes broke the skin and drew blood.
"Hahaha, this Rock Ape is mine!" the person laughed triumphantly.
Huh?
Chu Hao's gaze turned icy, what did this mean, claiming the giant ape as his own? His gaze swept over, and it really was a small world—this sudden intruder turned out to be Zhu Donghui!
They should have fought in the Beast Fighting Arena, but before the fight even started, they encountered a ferocious beast attacking the city. Unexpectedly, they met here again!
"Did you hear that? This Rock Ape is mine!" Zhu Donghui emphasized again, his face full of pride, completely disregarding Chu Hao.
This guy was still dressed for the Beast Fighting Arena, the difference being the addition of a Sharp Sword shining like autumn water! With the Zhu Family's wealth, forging a blade no less inferior to the Red Shadow Sword was not surprising at all.
"Oh?" Chu Hao's anger flared, saying, "The fatal wound on that ferocious beast was inflicted by me!"
"Who says?" Zhu Donghui suddenly drew his sword and thrust thrice, puh puh puh, all three stabs landed in the already injured eyes of the giant ape, each thrust deep to the hilt. He withdrew his sword and said indifferently, "Where did you hit it?"
Such shamelessness at such a young age!
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Then I have no choice but to properly teach you a lesson on behalf of your family elders!"
"You think you're up to it!" Zhu Donghui said with full disdain.
Chu Hao leaped forward, the Red Shadow Sword drawn!
"Let me show you how formidable I am!" Zhu Donghui thrust his sword to meet him.
Chu Hao's right hand sank, and the Red Shadow Sword met the opponent's blade. He then circled and flicked his wrist, only to hear Zhu Donghui cry out in surprise as his long sword was forcibly flicked away!
Zhu Donghui's face was filled with shock. How could the opponent's accuracy and strength be so formidable?
With just a flick, his palm felt as if it was about to split open, unable to hold the sword handle any longer!
Chu Hao leaped again, the Red Shadow Sword now pressed against Zhu Donghui's throat.
"No, don't kill me!" Zhu Donghui suddenly started trembling. Despite his arrogance, having always had things his way, he was only accustomed to fighting when the odds were in his favor and would panic immediately under such circumstances.
Chu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Take off your clothes!"
"What, what do you want!" Zhu Donghui involuntarily covered his buttocks with both hands. He had heard that some men had unusual preferences.
Chu Hao grinned and said, "Nobody's interested in your butt! Take off that Tortoise Shell Armor, I want it!"
"You, you're trying to rob me?" Zhu Donghui said instinctively.
"Nonsense, it's okay for you to rob my ferocious beast and not okay for me to rob back?" Chu Hao knocked on the back of Zhu Donghui's head with his left hand, "What are you still dawdling for?"
Zhu Donghui was on the verge of tears and said, "This piece of Tortoise Shell Armor cost my Zhu Family over 80,000 taels of silver!"
"Plus the rings and the wooden sword!" Chu Hao pointed out one by one.
"No! Not possible! My dad will kill me!" Zhu Donghui cried, seeming determined to resist to the death.
"You were so fierce when robbing others, acting pitiful now is useless!" Chu Hao flipped the sword handle and knocked on the back of Zhu Donghui's head. He was careful not to use too much force, fearing he might kill him, and Zhu Donghui screamed in pain but did not faint.
This guy turned his head, aggrieved, and cried, "Why are you hitting me?"
"My mistake! My mistake! I'll add a bit more strength!" Chu Hao said with a laugh, chopping with his left hand on Zhu Donghui's neck, finally knocking him out with this palm.
Chu Hao stripped the Tortoise Shell Armor off Zhu Donghui and wore it himself. The three rings and the wooden sword were taken as well, but he thought about the Sharp Sword and decided not to take it; he already had the Red Shadow Sword and wasn't skilled in fighting with two weapons, so having two Divine Weapons wouldn't enhance his combat power.
With the defense of the Tortoise Shell Armor and the three rings boosting his strength in turns, and the Spring Flower Wooden Sword replenishing his energy, he was ready for a major battle!
"Fortune-bringing Boy, if the ferocious beasts discover you before you wake up, then that's just your bad luck!" Chu Hao threw Zhu Donghui into a house, whose owner had naturally fled for safety already.
Chu Hao charged with the Red Shadow Sword back towards the city gate.
Before he even reached there, he saw ferocious beasts rampaging, human Martial Artists fighting desperately against them, with limbs and remains everywhere, belonging to both humans and ferocious beasts.
The city gate had been breached, and street fighting had begun!
Chu Hao didn't advance further but instead charged towards the ferocious beasts with his sword.
When heroes meet on a narrow path, the braver wins. This was a war where either you die or I die!
Kill!
Chu Hao wielded the Red Shadow Sword, initiating a slaughter.
Zhu Donghui's three rings could each enhance about 3500 jin of strength; although they couldn't be used simultaneously, combined with Chu Hao's own Fourth Tier Lesser Mahayana realm strength, they could reach about 8000 jin.
Moreover, his exceptional Derivation analysis skills allowed him to maximize the power of each sword strike, ensuring no waste of strength, and every strike led to a ferocious beast either crippled or dead!
He was self-aware, only targeting Middle Mahayana realm and Lesser Mahayana realm ferocious beasts. Occasionally he was ambushed by a cunning one, but the Tortoise Shell Armor proved its effect, only causing his face to pale and his chest to seethe, preventing more severe injuries.
This was the confidence that allowed Chu Hao to charge so boldly.
Eastern Cloud City, filled with a fierce killing intent!
