Zhang Hao was instantly shaken back seven steps. Li Haofeng, however, merely swayed slightly, not retreating a single step. Zhang Hao's heart felt extremely heavy, and he thought to himself: What powerful strength.
"Extinction Severing Soul Spear!"
The long spear in Li Haofeng's hand thrust towards Zhang Hao.
This thrust was without flourish, yet it carried the power to destroy everything.
"Spear Intent, this thrust carries Spear Intent, at least eighty percent Spear Intent."
Eighty percent Spear Intent instantly amplified the power of an already terrifying thrust by at least tenfold.
Before the spear arrived, a terrifying aura of death had already enveloped Zhang Hao.
"No, I must hold on for another stick of incense time, and try my best to buy them time," Zhang Hao thought to himself.
Zhang Hao unleashed Swallow Shadow Drift to its limit. In an instant, nine illusory figures appeared.
"Do you think this move is useful against me!"
Li Haofeng snorted coldly, shattering all of Zhang Hao's illusory figures with a single thrust. The long spear, like blood, pursued Zhang Hao like a shadow. The sharp whistling sound of the spear was like the wailing of ghosts. The air along the way was instantly pushed aside.
The unstoppable thrust advanced unimpeded, instantly catching up to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao's brow furrowed, and he immediately put away Snow Drinking Saber.
"Luo Han Fist!"
This punch had reached perfection, the pinnacle of Luo Han Fist. A solidified Luo Han illusory figure sat cross-legged behind Zhang Hao, radiating boundless pressure. Chants of Sanskrit echoed, calming the mind and clearing desires.
Li Haofeng's spear momentum paused slightly. The Sanskrit chants entering his ears actually diminished his fighting spirit by a few points.
"Boom!"
Zhang Hao punched the tip of Li Haofeng's spear. The violent force sent him back seven steps. Although he had blocked Li Haofeng's thrust, his fist was already covered in blood.
"Let's see how many moves you can block!"
Li Haofeng was about to strike. Suddenly, a low laugh sounded. A White-robed Youth and four Black-Clad Youth appeared.
"What a lively scene!"
Zhang Hao also looked towards where the voice came from and found it was indeed the White-robed Youth he had seen earlier.
As if sensing Zhang Hao's gaze, the White-robed Youth also looked at him.
However, the White-robed Youth did not recognize Zhang Hao, merely looking at Li Haofeng and smiling faintly: "Haofeng, have you met an opponent? Do you need my help?"
"No need! I can handle him myself."
Saying that, Li Haofeng brandished his long spear and thrust towards Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao estimated that Ye Qingrou and the others should have reached the entrance of the tunnel by now. He needed to hold on a bit longer for them to be safe. Outside the ruined Baoku (Treasure Vault), there was a forest. As long as they entered the forest, with the cover of the trees, Ye Qingrou and the others would be safe. The more time he bought for them, the safer they would be. Therefore, Zhang Hao continued to persevere at this moment. He had no thought of retreating.
Zhang Hao did not choose to clash head-on but instead used the Swallow Shadow Drift movement technique to maneuver around Li Haofeng. Zhang Hao had unleashed the Swallow Shadow Drift movement technique to its limit. Like a great swallow soaring, gracefully fluttering.
Although Li Haofeng's spear techniques were sharp and overbearing, he was temporarily unable to do anything to Zhang Hao. Although Zhang Hao could fight above his level, facing a Genius who could also challenge those above his level, he was temporarily suppressed and on the defensive, attacking less and defending more.
Wang Shijun stood aside, watching the battle between Zhang Hao and Li Haofeng with interest. At this moment, his heart was also very surprised. He knew Li Haofeng's strength well; he was no weaker than himself. But facing an opponent whose cultivation seemed far weaker than his, he failed to take him down immediately. This was indeed a strange occurrence.
"This person is strange!" Wang Shijun's eyes flashed.
"Brother Jun, this person seems to be the one who robbed our Baoku (Treasure Vault) earlier," said the Black-Clad Youth beside him.
"Are your words true!" Wang Shijun's expression changed.
The Black-Clad Youth nodded slightly and said, "I can confirm it, it should be correct. Although I only glanced at him just now, the impression is still very deep."
"Bastard, This Young Master will devour you alive!"
A terrifying Killing Intent emanated from Wang Shijun.
His body like a phantom, he rapidly rushed towards the battle circle of Zhang Hao and Li Haofeng. He struck with a palm, covering Zhang Hao's head.
Under the siege of two geniuses, Zhang Hao felt mountain-like pressure. Because of Li Haofeng's restraint, he was completely unable to block this palm.
In a critical moment, Zhang Hao roared.
"Limitless Rampage Release."
Level 2 Limitless Rampage instantly amplified Zhang Hao's strength by four times.
"Luo Han Fist!"
Zhang Hao punched Li Haofeng away.
"Bang!"
The Luo Han Fist, amplified by four times, instantly sent Li Haofeng flying over ten meters away. Even the hand holding the spear trembled slightly.
"How is that possible!"
Li Haofeng was slightly surprised.
After pushing Li Haofeng back, Zhang Hao turned around and unleashed a punch.
"Ding dong, congratulations Player Zhang Hao for triggering a critical hit with Luo Han Fist!"
"Bang!"
Wang Shijun was sent flying. The blood and qi within his body violently churned.
Zhang Hao unleashed his movement technique, like a shadow following. He launched a furious attack, instantly unleashing over twenty Luo Han Fist punches. The violent punch shadows poured down like a torrent.
Wang Shijun felt incredibly frustrated. Under Zhang Hao's Limitless Rampage state, he was beaten without any ability to resist.
"Bang!"
"Ding dong, congratulations Player Zhang Hao, for unleashing Luo Han Fist and triggering a critical hit."
"Bang!"
Wang Shijun's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
Zhang Hao knew that his Limitless Rampage only lasted for 60 seconds. Therefore, he had to escape during this time. Otherwise, using Limitless Rampage would result in a period of weakness.
Unleashing his movement technique to the limit, Zhang Hao left towards the outside of the tunnel. After leaving the Baoku (Treasure Vault), Zhang Hao rushed towards the Small Woods.
It was already night, and the Small Woods were quiet.
"I wonder where Ye Qingrou and the others went. They should still be in the Small Woods, right?" Zhang Hao murmured.
"Zhang Hao!"
Zhang Hao heard someone calling him and quickly turned back to see that it was indeed Zhang Haicheng.
"Brother Haicheng, it's you!" Zhang Hao was also very happy to see Zhang Haicheng.
Among the Zhang Family Team, only he had not mocked him from the very beginning. This was also the reason Zhang Hao had a good impression of him.
"Yes, hurry and follow me," Zhang Haicheng said.
In a cave, Zhang Hao saw Ye Qingrou and several injured Zhang Family disciples meditating and healing. Seeing Zhang Hao, Ye Qingrou and the faces of the few Zhang Family disciples all showed smiles.
"Zhang Hao, I'm relieved to see you're okay," Ye Qingrou exhaled.
"Okay, what are our casualties like?" Zhang Hao asked in a deep voice.
Ye Qingrou shook her head and said, "Fifteen injured, ten dead. Our small team is half crippled."
Saying this, a trace of self-reproach appeared on Ye Qingrou's face. She said, "I was too careless, I wasn't vigilant. If we had been more careful, it wouldn't have been like this. This time, if it weren't for you, Zhang Hao, we would have been completely wiped out."
Zhang Hao looked at Ye Qingrou's self-reproaching appearance and quickly comforted her, "Don't blame yourself, none of this is your fault. Actually, all of this was Li Family's scheme."
Therefore, Zhang Hao told them everything he knew about Li Family's scheme.
