Chapter 158: Chapter 117: No More Li Hao in the World (Guaranteed Combined Chapter)

(There was a mistake in the previous text about the age being eight; it’s six, my senile mistake, the correction has been made, please forgive me~)

…

Li Tian Gang and the others had thought that when Li Hao survived an assassination attempt, it was because Li Muxiu and other elders were secretly protecting him.

Who would have guessed that it was Li Hao himself who had resolved the crisis?

But at the age of six?

Ordinary children just start their cultivation at six, and yet Li Hao was able to kill a Zhou Tian Realm assassin with ease?

You must understand, assassins strike stealthily and suddenly, even those of the same realm might be killed.

This indicates that the six-year-old Li Hao already possessed sufficient strength to counter the Zhou Tian Realm!

But…six years old!

They all stared at Li Hao in a daze, somewhat spellbound, their estimation of the child’s cultivation talent repeatedly exceeded, but apparently, they had still grossly underestimated him.

His monstrosity was such that even the Saint Heir of the Gan Tao Palace would likely feel inferior!

Li Tian Gang fell silent for a moment, although he didn’t like Li Hao’s personality, he had to admit that the child’s talent was top-notch.

Li Fu suddenly thought of something and said to Li Hao, “Young Master Hao, when you went to Cangyu City on a mission and I clandestinely protected you, those two Great Demon Jiao dragons on the road…”

“I killed them.”

Li Hao said calmly.

Li Fu’s pupils shrank, and he was shocked. During the time he had returned, he had gone to the Piaoxue Courtyard to especially thank Gao Qingqing. Her puzzled expression at the time had surprised him, but now he realized the problem lay here.

He was supposed to protect Li Hao, but it turned out that Li Hao had protected him instead!

Li Fu felt a wave of sighs and shame in his heart. He should have realized it earlier, Li Hao had revealed Fifteen Li Realm cultivation in Cangyu City and slain demons alone; there was no need for anyone else to take action against those two Great Demons.

“There was also this matter?”

Li Tian Gang frowned and looked at Li Fu.

Li Fu hurriedly recounted the whole story to him, and Li Tian Gang’s eyes flashed with a cold light, “That group of demons struggling in their death throes, the Saint Palace was already planning to retreat by then, yet they still fancifully attempted one last struggle, simply ludicrous!”

“So Hao had gone to slay Great Demons at that time.”

Li Yuanzhao also recalled the incident at the tea stall and couldn’t help but freeze.

At that time, they were leisurely drinking tea and enjoying snacks, while Li Hao went off in an instant to slay two great Jiao dragons, without making a sound.

Zhao’s eyes were complex as he said, “So it seems, if it weren’t for the Young Master’s tough luck and strong strength, these two attempts at assassination… he would have been dead.”

Upon hearing Zhao’s words, Li Fu’s complexion turned ashen, and Li Tian Gang’s eyes condensed, his expression somewhat ugly.

Originally, sending the Divine Travel Realm’s fierce warrior Li Fu back should have been enough to shelter him under normal circumstances.

Who would have expected that the demon clan would be so insanely heartless?

They targeted a six-year-old child for assassination with the Zhou Tian Realm instead of the Power Passage Realm, leaving no chance at all.

And now again sending two Great Jiao dragons to assassinate him, meticulous to almost certain success.

Yet, it was resolved by Li Hao himself.

Li Tian Gang took a deep breath and said to Li Hao, “Indeed, I have been negligent in your protection; I didn’t anticipate that the demon clan would be so heartless. I thought you were safe within the Divine General Mansion, with trusted aides on guard and other madams looking after you, and with the mansion’s Array, demons shouldn’t have been able to get close. I didn’t expect it to almost cost you your life.”

Li Hao’s expression was calm as he said, “It wasn’t almost, it was certain death.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tian Gang’s eyebrows shot up, he said indignantly, “Are you blaming me? What do you mean by certain death when you didn’t die?”

“Nonsense!”

Li Muxiu couldn’t help but scold, “What are you saying, cursing Hao Er to die?!”

Although Li Hao’s state of mind had already calmed, upon hearing these words, he couldn’t help but look up at him.

When he saw that face full of anger, he felt a sense of weariness and said indifferently:

“My survival has nothing to do with you; my life was spared because of my own fate, my own strength!”

If it hadn’t been for his transmigration, if it wasn’t for the bonus of his panel, Li Hao knew he would have been doomed.

Although due to the panel’s issue he could not cultivate normally, his improvement in realm was not lacking in the least.

After all, these years, he had been earnestly ‘farming experience’, leveling up his panel; seemingly in enjoyment, but the more he played, the faster he advanced.

If one were to consider the common circumstances of the Li family’s descendants, even the least talented direct line could rely on resources to reach a seventh-grade war body.

And with unmatched talent, like Ninth Uncle Li Junye, he would be the best of a millennium.

But what of it?

Even Ninth Uncle, at six years old, had just begun his cultivation and could not have overcome the Zhou Tian Realm!

Faced with Li Muxiu’s roaring, Li Tian Gang slightly restrained his anger, his gaze turning icy as he said:

“Do you think you’re strong enough? Do you think it was you who resolved it? Ridiculous!”

“You’ve kept your cultivation situation hidden, even from me, I don’t know who taught you!”

At this point, although he didn’t look at Li Muxiu, Li Muxiu’s face turned red with anger. The insinuation behind that statement was clear, was there any need to say it outright?

But when Li Hao was six, he didn’t even know this kid!

“You’re so full of yourself, thinking you’re smart, but you’re really foolish!”

“If you had revealed your talent earlier and not hidden it, I would have called Yu Xuan back to protect you long ago!”

Li Tian Gang said coldly, “With Yu Xuan, a master of the Tianren Sect, he would have been able to protect you, whether you were six years old and faced with assassination or when you went to Cangyu City on a mission!”

“Moreover, if you had shown your talent, you wouldn’t have gone to the Tan Palace; you would have already become a disciple of a renowned master, building up your connections, and obtained the status of a Direct Disciple of a major force!”

“Look at you now, so willful and uncaring, I don’t even know how you caught the Emperor’s eye this time. If it weren’t for Emperor Yu’s personal decree, during that day’s contest of connections, you would have lost, making a complete fool of yourself!”
