Chapter 382 Two People Killed in Succession
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Principal Bai."
Xing Kaiwen did not refuse and immediately came to support Lu Hao. The commotion on Xing Kaiwen's side had already been noticed by all the ninth-rank officials. They did not expect that Xing Kaiwen could actually kill a ninth-rank official while being restrained by three eighth-rank officials.
Seeing Xing Kaiwen go to support Lu Hao, everyone panicked. After all, they knew Lu Hao's combat strength. If Lu Hao was released, things would be dangerous. But they couldn't find anyone to restrain Xing Kaiwen, so they could only watch helplessly as Xing Kaiwen went to deal with the ninth-grade demon beast opposite Lu Hao.
Lu Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It was worth it for him to use his mental power to help from the shadows. Axe King did have some skills after all. Lu Hao nodded to Xing Kaiwen. Now they could finally break the deadlock. With Xing Kaiwen involved, it wouldn't seem abrupt for him to make a move.
So Lu Hao began to exert his power, unleashing over 300,000 calories of blood energy in a single strike, slashing towards the remaining two.
A crimson blade of light, carrying heavy blood energy, slashed towards the two, causing the void to tremble and the world to fall silent. The man and the plant opposite them were clearly flustered. The ninth-rank city lord slashed at Lu Hao's blade of light with his sword, while the ninth-rank demonic plant swung a thick branch at him. The two tried together to disperse the blade of light, but all their efforts were in vain. This crimson blade of light was indestructible and directly destroyed their attacks as it attacked them.
Boom!
A huge explosion resounded, creating a massive cloud of smoke on the ground. Lu Hao didn't linger; he knew the power of his previous strike. Although strong, it wasn't enough to directly kill two Rank 9 cultivators. So, Lu Hao stepped forward and rushed into the smoke, where he saw the demonic plant using its life essence to recover. "To catch the thief, first catch the king; in a team fight, kill the healer first!" He unleashed a horizontal slash, unleashing 400,000 calories of blood energy—his strongest technique to date.
The rank-nine demonic plant, as large as a tree, sensed the danger and desperately used all its roots and branches to block Lu Hao's blade, attempting to withstand the attack while frantically consuming its life essence in an attempt to preserve a sliver of life. Unfortunately, facing the absolute crushing power of the blood and qi, it had no chance of survival. With a single strike, the rank-nine tree was instantly cleaved in two, its life essence flowing through both halves. Lu Hao used his spiritual power to instantly obliterate the rank-nine demonic plant's spiritual power and stored both halves in his storage space. Although it had consumed a considerable amount of life essence, it still contained a lot, about seventy or eighty pounds.
Meanwhile, another ninth-rank city lord reacted. Taking advantage of Lu Hao's attack on the guardian deity, he concealed his aura and, disregarding his own injuries, lunged at Lu Hao. He then slashed at Lu Hao with his sword, attempting to harm him. Unfortunately, all of this was exposed by Lu Hao's spiritual power. An ordinary ninth-rank city lord might have actually been caught off guard, but Lu Hao's transformed spiritual power was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Facing the attack from the ninth-rank city lord, Lu Hao casually slashed with his sword, dispersing the attack. The ninth-rank city lord was clearly unaware of this situation, and after a moment of hesitation, he slashed at Lu Hao again. After all, he knew that if he didn't take action now, he wouldn't have another chance later.
Lu Hao didn't even glance at the Ninth-Rank City Lord's attack. After all, even if Lu Hao didn't defend, the Lord couldn't break through Lu Hao's defense. The Nine-Forged Golden Body brought about not only a qualitative change in blood and qi, but also a qualitative change in the body. However, in order not to attract attention, Lu Hao still drew his sword to block the attack, and at the same time collected all the scattered life essence outside.
After finishing the storage, Lu Hao looked at the Ninth-Rank Cave City Lord beside him and saw a deep scar on his chest, but the scar was rapidly healing under the energy of the life essence.
If Lu Hao hadn't intervened, it probably would have been fully recovered in just a few minutes.
Now, Lu Hao had finished absorbing the life essence, so he stepped forward to the side of the ninth-rank city lord and unleashed a slash that dealt 300,000 units of life energy. After all, a burst of 400,000 units was a "ultimate move".
Even so, the ninth-rank city lord couldn't withstand this attack. The two of them had just suffered considerable injuries when they joined forces, and now one of them couldn't stop it at all! Bang!
The ninth-rank city lord was instantly knocked into the ground, revealing a scar that pierced half of his body. The golden bones that had passed through it could not withstand the blow, and the scar formed a cross with it.
Lu Hao slashed down again, and the ninth-rank city lord tried to defend himself, but his current condition was simply not good enough to withstand Lu Hao's attack.
Boom! Boom!
After three or four exchanges, the Ninth-Rank Underground Warrior on the other side was no longer recognizable as human. His entire body was devoid of flesh and blood, with only his golden bones struggling to hold on. However, his golden bones were also broken in several places, and the life essence he had drunk beforehand was almost exhausted. The Ninth-Rank Underground Warrior already sensed his fate. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be killed here in at most five moves.
The other underground warriors around him were terrified at his fate, because once Lu Hao's combat power was unleashed, their side would definitely collapse.
They cursed the Gnawing King and the Rose King to death in their hearts. Right now, they hated the two of them the most, not anyone else. If they hadn't escaped, things would definitely not be like this now.
Lu Hao, however, wouldn't linger. The next moment, another 300,000-calorie blood energy blade slashed towards the skeleton golden body of the cave city lord. Seeing this, the lord could only desperately defend, but without flesh and blood, he couldn't even use energy. He could only desperately use the power of his golden bones to resist, which resulted in his golden body becoming even dimmer and weaker, barely managing to withstand the immense power of this attack. But immediately afterward, Lu Hao's next attack followed. This move directly shattered half of the ninth-grade cave warrior's bones. Now, only the ninth-grade cave warrior's spiritual power remained active. Lu Hao directly used his vast spiritual power to obliterate the ninth-grade cave warrior's spiritual power, killing another one!
Less than an hour has passed since the battle began. Lu Hao has killed two Rank 9 cultivators, and Axe King has killed one, while the Rank 9 cultivators in the Underground Cave have made no progress. Lu Hao surveyed the situation; everything else seemed fine, especially Nan Yunyue's side. Even though the opposing demonic plant and city lord were trying to stall for time, they were being pushed back relentlessly by Nan Yunyue and couldn't even lift their heads. "Can General Xing hold on? If he can, I'll go to Minister Nan first and try to get him released."
Lu Hao asked using his mental power.
"Yes, Master Lu, go and support Minister Nan. Although I'm injured, I can still hold off this beast."
Upon hearing Axe King's telepathic message, Lu Hao didn't hesitate and rushed towards Nan Yunyue's direction.
