NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1230: Swallowed Whole!
Another unfamiliar group of people—Xu Hao had never seen them before.
Their leader calmly said, "Young Master Xu is quite famous; it's understandable that he wouldn't know us little figures. We are people from the Fan Family of Miaojiang. I am Fan Weichang, the Patriarch of the Fan Family. These two are the Second Elder and Third Elder of the Fan Family. Today, our purpose is very clear, which is to take away any one of the Altars you hold.
Xu Hao, you must understand, the Altar is just a tool. Having more is useless. You only need to possess one."
Upon hearing Fan Weichang say this, Xu Hao immediately asked, "Are you saying you know the use of this thing?"
"This... of course not. Such confidential matters are only known to the experts of the Five Great Protector Families. But we all understand that having one is sufficient. So, the Fan Family won't demand much today; just give us one, and we will leave immediately." Fan Weichang said.
His tone was polite, yet his words left no room for refutation.
The Great Elder of the Gushen Sect took a deep look at Baxia lounging on Xu Hao's shoulder and then laughed: "Xu Hao, we are the same. We don't ask for much; just one is enough."
Xu Hao sneered, "You two have quite the plan; one faction wants one, leaving me empty-handed, isn't it?"
The Great Elder of the Gushen Sect laughed, "Xu Hao, you must understand, we all know that a genius like you always has very good luck. If another Altar appears later, you can seize it again. I believe by the time the ultimate battle begins, you will certainly have at least one Altar in your possession."
"Haha, you all are really shameless, wanting to snatch the Altar from me, just say it outright. Trying to use such twisted logic to persuade me is somewhat ridiculous, isn't it?"
Xu Hao said coldly, "If you intend to take the Altar from me, then make your move! I don't have time to waste on you!"
Upon hearing Xu Hao say so, Fan Weichang immediately replied, "Hmph! If you refuse to appreciate our offer, don't blame us for being impolite! Make your move!"
The Great Elder of the Gushen Sect exchanged looks with him and immediately attacked Xu Hao.
Plus, another elder from the Gushen Sect—altogether, five Grandmaster Level experts attacked Xu Hao.
But this wasn't what disgusted Xu Hao; what made him a bit nauseous was when those disciples from the Gushen Sect began to release their Gu Insects.
Seeing those dense Gu Insects swarming towards him from the hills, Xu Hao felt his scalp tingle. He snorted coldly and said, "Since you've put in so much effort to kill me, I won't be polite to you either! Today, you all must die!
I understand now; with people like you, one must strike decisively. If I don't hurt you, each of you thinks you have some skill, don't you? After killing you, I will go to Canada and suppress the Biel Family, to prevent them from pulling any tricks from behind."
Xu Hao was already intent on slaughtering everyone, and Baxia also sensed Xu Hao's murderous intent, slightly raised its head, flicked its eyelids, but did not move.
Just as Xu Hao was about to make his move, the Great Elder of the Gushen Sect also released his own Gu Insect.
Golden Gu worm!
The Great Elder of the Gushen Sect laughed heartily, "Xu Hao, my Golden Gu worm is far more powerful than the Second Elder's. It is faster and more resilient than anything you can imagine. You absolutely cannot withstand the attack of my Golden Gu worm!"
Xu Hao slowly drew out the Fengyi Sword and said calmly, "Golden Gu worm? I'd like to see whether your Golden Gu worm is mightier or my Fengyi Sword is. I fear under my Fengyi Sword there is nothing that cannot be cut through."
"Hmph! Try if you dare!" The Great Elder of the Gushen Sect was obviously very confident in his Golden Gu worm, assuming an attacking stance.
At that moment, Baxia suddenly smacked Xu Hao's shoulder with its paw, then promptly sprang forward like a sharp sword, rushing to the Golden Gu worm with lightning speed and swallowing it whole before it even had time to react!
This scene left everyone completely dumbfounded!
Even Xu Hao was astounded.
Baxia had actually swallowed the carefully nurtured Golden Gu worm in one bite.
Moreover, Baxia smacked its lips, as if it tasted good, which was akin to a kill that utterly crushed the opponent's spirit.
After a brief stupor, the Great Elder of the Gushen Sect immediately reacted, furiously shouting, "Xu Hao! Compensate me for my Golden Gu worm! What sort of thing have you raised that dared to eat my Golden Gu worm!"
He was infuriated to the extreme; this was his ultimate means to deal with Xu Hao, his Golden Gu worm, which after devouring a rare mineral, was far stronger than others' Golden Gu worms!
And those people from the Gushen Sect were all extremely vigilant, urgently retrieving all their Gu worms, not wanting their painstakingly raised Gu worms eaten by this unknown tortoise.
