Chapter 270: Three Warriors Slaying A Solar (IV)
He posed too great a threat to her, particularly that sword. It cut through everything and would score a direct hit on her body if he connected again.
Meanwhile, Li Hao attempted something that he hadn’t considered and wouldn’t have dared try before. It was in the realm of possibility only due to the partial recovery of sword energy. He abruptly roared, disregarding that sound couldn’t make it past the ice. A large mountain appeared out of thin air!
A nurtured spirit was emerging from his organ!
He hadn’t dared consider this step before because his spleen wasn’t strong enough. If he tried this... he could just wait to die of a ruptured spleen. But now that he had some sword energy to play with again, what was he afraid of?
A true warrior bravely tried the unknown. His teacher’s fire heart ape had slain the late Solar Sun Yifei as soon as it emerged. Would his mountain of heavy earth not be able to handle a gravely wounded mid Solar when it did the same?
The enormous mountain transformed into a unique sword of heavy earth the moment it materialized. Li Hao slashed forward with it!
BAM!
As the ice shattered, Zhang Ting sensed a mountain bearing down on her. “Summoner of Spirit??” she gasped with disbelief. How was that possible?! How could Li Hao be a Summoner?!
The young man could also sense his strength when the mountain emerged from his organ. He was very, very powerful. The Sword of Mount Tai erupted!
Zhang Ting felt that she was being forced into one place, that unbearable suppression was coming down over her. A broadsword descended from the sky, aimed at cutting her down. She refused to accept this!
“Impossible!!” The power of ice spontaneously erupted and turned the world into one of white. Sealed by ice!
All of this was fake! She didn’t believe that Li Hao was truly a Summoner. If this was real, he would’ve killed her with the first ambush. Why wait until now? This wasn’t real!
Sealed by a million kilometers of ice!
Wham!
The sword crashed through an accumulation of ice when it landed. Every block of ice blew out as powder. Li Hao flushed beet red as blood qi surged in his body. He’d shattered the world of ice with a single sword stroke!
Pfft!
Zhang Ting vomited blood once more, fear finally creeping into her heart. She whirled around, wanting to flee! Being a Solar, none of these people were as fast as her. However, Li Hao frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes.
Damn, she’s tough to take out!
Blood qi surged into his longsword—the Incantation of the Blade of Blood! His sword and earth auras melded into the weapon, as did his blood qi and internal force. He had many more options available now that he could draw on sword energy again.
The decisiveness of a martial master came into play and he chose to close in for the kill. Who knew how many secrets would be revealed if she got away?
Off in the distance, Liu Long also delivered a punch to cut off her avenue of escape. Wang Ming split his golden longsword into tens of thousands of swords and sent them in a fiery barrage at Zhang Ting. He was a fake swordsman as he only knew his move of Heavenly Maids Scattering Blossoms, but the effect from this singular move was usually quite good.
Zhang Ting ignored their counterattacks! She could not slow down even though she was injured. A broadsword bore down on her from behind.
Li Hao set foot into the air like a bird, pouncing on the woman. One step covered dozens of meters; he was faster than one could imagine as he flitted through the air like a sparrow upon the wind and instantly appeared behind Zhang Ting.
Sword qi blazed red as the weapon struck!
Boom!
The ice armor shattered with a massive boom; Zhang Ting kept running. She ran and ran until she split into two! Sectioned down the middle, the two halves continued running for a dozen meters until they collapsed on the ground.
Blood gushed out of Li Hao’s mouth when he coughed. His spleen was bleeding profusely! His armor vanished, his longsword vanished, everything vanished. Although color drained from his face, he smiled.
They hadn’t punched their opponent into the sky, but two Dominators and one Sunflare had killed a Solar all the same!
Liu Long and Wang Ming rushed over, shock and disbelief writ large over their faces when they saw the scene. They’d won? The battle hadn’t lasted that long—less than a minute. They exchanged blows countless times during this minute and nearly died more than a few times. However, the one on the ground in the end was the Solar!
“I... killed a Solar?” Wang Ming murmured. Indeed, he’d been part of that fight. Not only that, but he was the reason for the bloody hole in her back. She might not have been defeated so quickly if it wasn’t for this blow.
Thus, Li Hao and Liu Long didn’t say anything when he said that he killed a Solar. He could claim that!
This fellow was a frivolous sort in normal times, so his actions today truly surprised the other two. They’d thought that he would run when fighting broke out. Liu Long and Li Hao hadn’t cared that this was the most likely outcome. Wang Ming shouldn’t add to the trouble, at the very least. It was enough that he wouldn’t help the woman.
Who would’ve thought that he’d attack instead, and with a keen grasp of battle timing? Li Hao suspected that Wang Ming was actually a battle genius, but quickly dismissed the idea when Wang Ming widened his mouth with a foolish grin.
A battle genius... can still be an idiot.
“Whew!” Both Liu Long and Li Hao breathed out at the same time, utterly exhausted!
“Hurry, there’s water mysterious power and an origin weapon!” Li Hao called out to Wang Ming as he couldn’t walk anymore. Sword energy spread swiftly through his body and he diverted a portion for Liu Long. The captain’s arm would be completely crippled soon if no attention was given to it.
If it wasn’t for Li Hao obtaining some sword energy after breaking the origin weapon, he’d still wanted to fling the opponent into the air. But they’d killed Zhang Ting all the same without utilizing the city’s defenses. At the same time, Li Hao fully understood that he’d probably be dead without sword energy.
Once again, sword energy is the best!
His thoughts turned to the origin weapon. So origin weapons could replenish sword energy? The thought was gone as quickly as it appeared. It would send others into a frenzy if they knew. Who would break an origin weapon on purpose? Whoever thought this way was a heretic and served to be put to death!
“How is it, chief?” Li Hao looked at Liu Long.
“Solars... can be defeated!” A faint smile appeared on the man’s aloof face. My Nine Forged Force broke through a Solar’s defenses twice!
His confidence was back! The confidence that’d been dented by Yuan Shuo and Li Hao completely returned in full. I, Liu Long, can bypass a Solar’s defenses! I’m not as weak as I thought, it’s just that the people I’ve met are too strong. They’re crazy!
Wang Ming shrieked with excitement in the distance. So much mysterious power and other treasures! We’re rich!
......
Sword energy surged. A ruptured spleen quickly recovered, as did aura and internal force that’d been depleted.
Whether it was Li Hao or Yuan Shuo, both were wild and violent with sword energy at their disposal. Yuan Shuo kept a low profile without it, and Li Hao was even more reserved without it. The professor couldn’t bear to consume its last particles before and ran off after killing a group of Red Moon powerhouses. Given his personality, he would’ve recovered to full strength had there been enough sword energy and exterminated all of the Celestial and Yama delegations as well!
He was a truly ruthless sort! He ran only because he wasn’t strong enough and his injuries were too severe. Would he have stopped at Red Moon otherwise?
As for why he would kill Celestial and Yama... Old Demon Yuan didn’t need a reason to kill someone. If he really needed one, then it was that his enemies could be found within these organizations as well!
Indeed, a group of people had left Silver Moon’s martial world back in the day. His enemies could also be found in Celestial and Yama, they just didn’t live as rich a life as his enemies in Red Moon did.
Li Hao had mostly recovered from his injuries. A majority of sword energy had been replenished after absorbing the tiny snake. It felt similar to the amount that he’d taken in at the stone door. One had to know, the sword energy available at the stone door had been the result of a vast quantity of mysterious power.
Yuan Shuo breaking through to Summoner of Spirit, Li Hao advancing to Dominator, Wang Ming and ascending to Sunflare had all expended the sword energy. The young man further consumed a great deal after needing to recover from sparring with Liu Long everyday. The newly replenished reserves of sword energy were enough for a long time.
However, after he repaired his spleen and casually helped Liu Long as well, Li Hao felt that he’d consumed a large amount again. He needed to use it sparingly! Sword energy was the true hard currency.
A gleeful Wang Ming ran back to them, holding the storage ring that Li Hao had tossed at him. It was a gift from Ding Chen and already held one hundred cubes of fire energy. The remaining four held eight hundred cubes of water—it was completely full!
The handsome supernatural also hauled two incredibly durable pieces of human bone. They contained roughly four hundred cubes of water energy. This was their entire harvest!
Mid Solars contained more mysterious power than this, but this was a unique place and the ground absorbed a portion of energy at a fast pace. Some of it was gone in the blink of an eye, so saving approximately twelve hundred cubes was a decent collection. At least the city didn’t take all of it!
Wang Ming held a broken sword in addition to the mysterious power. Although broken, the origin weapon was still a wondrous supernatural object, not to mention this particular weapon functioned to conceal one’s presence. Despite being ruined, it still served to suppress his supernatural ripples when Wang Ming carried it.
The origin weapons and mysterious power were the greatest gains. There was a small booklet as well. Zhang Ting hadn’t carried too many items on her since she was under cover. Anything like an identification card was out of the question—whoever did that was a fool.
Wang Ming couldn’t read the booklet, so he tossed it to Li Hao. “Take a look, what is this? Something like a secret art?”
“No.” Li Hao shook his head after perusing it. “It looks like a code for communication. This is a commonly found and very primitive way to exchange messages. Sometimes we can only contact each other through unique methods—we might choose a few numbers that correspond to some words in a book and translate the meaning into words we understand.
“It looks like there’s more than just her in Silver Moon!” Li Hao chuckled. Since there was a method of communication, that meant there were certainly others in the province. She was just the strongest one.
Wang Ming finally came back to his senses and looked around strangely. “Ah... who... was she?”
He’d forgotten to ask and simply killed their target! Now he recollected himself, it suddenly struck him that they’d taken out a Night Watcher, right?
Killing their own was a heinous crime!
Li Hao looked at him and grinned broadly. “A Night Watcher!”
Wang Ming coughed violently. “That... that’s not true, isn\'t it? She was so powerful that she must’ve been an agent from the three great organizations...”
