The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Lei Qianjue was likewise incredibly shaken at this moment; he hadn't witnessed Xu Hao killing those eight Chief Protectors in an instant last night. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so surprised now.

Bu Liuqing's right hand still maintained the grip as if holding the Bloodthirsty orb, and he still couldn't believe it. Clearly, the orb was tightly clutched in his hand, but in the blink of an eye, it had vanished!

His face distorted with terror, he bellowed, "You're not a Shui Family member. Shui Family members couldn't possibly possess such ghostly and unpredictable footwork. It must be the Ghostly Shadow Tracing Step; otherwise, my eyes would not have been deceived!"

Xu Hao held the counterfeit Bloodthirsty orb in his hand and said with a light smile, "The Ghostly Shadow Tracing Step is indeed extremely fast, but I do not know how to cultivate it. If I could find the footwork manual for the Ghostly Shadow Tracing Step, my speed would definitely increase by another third. As for this counterfeit Bloodthirsty orb, it should be destroyed."

After saying that, Xu Hao's left hand suddenly turned somewhat blackish, and then he exerted a fierce force.

"Crack!"

The counterfeit Bloodthirsty orb, tougher than Refined Steel, was crushed in Xu Hao's hand as if it were made of paper, instantly shattered!

Xu Hao slowly opened his left hand, and the fragments of the counterfeit orb scattered to the ground.

But unnoticed by everyone else, Xu Hao swiftly pocketed a blood-red bead the size of a soybean.

This sight made Bu Liuqing nearly explode with rage as he shouted, "You actually destroyed the Sect's Treasure of the Blood Evil Sect; you're finished! Even if I can't deal with you today, I can release the news, and then, wait for the Blood Evil Sect's endless pursuit of you!"

Lei Qianjue's complexion changed dramatically as he quickly said, "Master, we must not let this person go. Once he spreads the news, given the Blood Evil Sect's vengeful nature, they will definitely pursue you frantically, to avenge the destruction of their Sect's Treasure."

Xu Hao looked at Bu Liuqing and said with a faint smile, "If people from the Blood Evil Sect dare to come, I dare to ensure they never return. As for Bu Liuqing, unless something unexpected happens, he won't escape today."

Bu Liuqing sneered, "Do you really think that after planning for so many years, I wouldn't have a contingency plan? I'm always prepared for someone to try to kill me. Do you think I would be without a trump card?"

As he spoke, he suddenly stamped his foot, and to the amazement of Lei Qianjue and the others, a cloud of yellow mist appeared, and he vanished at the same time!

Xu Hao's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Earth Escape Talisman!"

Xu Hao swung his hand fiercely and punched toward the spot where Bu Liuqing had just stood.

The yellow mist was dispersed by the impact, but Bu Liuqing had completely disappeared.

Lei Qianjue exclaimed, "He actually had an Earth Escape Talisman. It's no surprise that he's someone who escaped from the intense pursuit of Blood Evil Sect's experts alive; his means of preserving his life are indeed numerous. Earth Escape Talismans are extremely rare!"

Xu Hao lightly clapped his hands, shaking off the powdered remains of the Bloodthirsty orb, and laughed, "If he has escaped, then let him go. It might even be a good thing. Once we spread the word, I believe the Blood Evil Sect will be more interested in him. While I'm not afraid of the Blood Evil Sect, I don't intend to take the blame without reason."

Lei Qianjue was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood and said with a smile, "I see now, after Bu Liuqing escapes, he will certainly spread the news that the counterfeit Bloodthirsty orb has been destroyed, but the news of their Sect's Treasure being destroyed by you, they may not necessarily believe. After all, the fact that a counterfeit orb could serve as the Sect's Treasure suggests its robustness, not easily destroyed.

"And three years ago, when the Blood Evil Sect experts pursued Bu Liuqing but ended up slaughtered by him instead, causing heavy losses, this inflicted a great blow to their reputation in the Martial Arts World. They too need to kill Bu Liuqing to restore their name."

Xu Hao looked in the direction where Bu Liuqing had disappeared, but his thoughts were on something else.

The moment Bu Liuqing took out the Earth Escape Talisman, Xu Hao felt the same aura on him that he had sensed outside before.

But Xu Hao's eyes, searing hot, failed to discern anything, leaving him quite puzzled.

That aura, Xu Hao vaguely felt, was related to Bu Liuqing's rapid rise in strength over the past three years.

Xu Hao had transformed from an ordinary youth to a Martial Arts Expert within a few months due to his unique bloodline. But there was nothing special about Bu Liuqing's bloodline. For an ordinary martial artist like him, advancing from the Middle stage of mastery to the Great Perfection Mastery Level would take at least five years!

However, Bu Liuqing achieved it in just three years!

Although using the Bloodthirsty orb to absorb Qi and blood can enhance one's physical condition, it doesn't directly enhance martial arts prowess. Thus, Xu Hao became somewhat interested in that unknown aura on Bu Liuqing.

Capturing Bu Liuqing, it would be difficult to get anything out of him by questioning.

Therefore, Xu Hao chose to play the long game for a big catch!

Qian Changle finally recovered from his shock and hurriedly said, "Young Master Xu is truly remarkable, defeating even those skilled in rare and strange techniques. I've lived for many years and finally gained some real insight today. Young Master Xu, thank you for saving our lives. If not for you today, we might well have died!"
