"Holy Rune Jade Pendant!"
Zhang Hao was slightly startled.
"Use!" Zhang Hao quickly chanted in his mind.
As expected, after the Holy Rune Jade Pendant was used, the pressure that originally enveloped Zhang Hao completely disappeared.
Zhang Hao's heart relaxed.
Xiao Long, who was floating in the void, was slightly startled and let out a soft "Eh!"
"Zhang Hao, you have some tricks up your sleeve! It seems This Young Master underestimated you. But this still can't change your final fate."
"Go to hell! Go down and repent to This Young Master's cousin!" Xiao Long struck down at Zhang Hao.
"Zhang Hao!"
Ye Yunshang, Ning Xue, and Yun Qiuyu were all greatly alarmed. Even Lan Haiping was swept away by a single palm strike. How much more so Zhang Hao?
Zhang Hao felt his whole body tremble, and the pressure around him crushed down like a mountain.
"No!"
When danger arrived, Zhang Hao became extremely calm. Suddenly, he remembered something.
"Substitute Puppet!"
Zhang Hao used the Substitute Puppet.
"Boom!"
Xiao Long's palm struck Zhang Hao's body.
Zhang Hao's body was blown apart.
However, although Zhang Hao was killed by a single palm strike, Xiao Long frowned, as if he had noticed something. As expected, in the next second, Zhang Hao appeared fifty meters away.
"Yunshang, Ning Xue, Qiu Yu, leave immediately!"
Ye Yunshang, Ning Xue, and Qiu Yu saw Zhang Hao's pale face and were greatly alarmed, immediately rushing towards him.
"Zhang Hao, do you think you can run away?" Xiao Long's cold voice came.
"Run... do you think I want to run? Today, I'll let you know that showing off will get you struck by lightning."
Zhang Hao wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Dragon Killing Slash!"
Although the Dragon Killing Slash only had one chance left, Zhang Hao was facing the extremely arrogant Xiao Long at this moment. He had to make the other party pay the price for his arrogance.
"Ding dong! Unfortunately, your target cannot be locked!" The System's prompt sounded.
Zhang Hao was immediately greatly surprised, somewhat speechless and depressed, saying, "Damn it, how can it not be locked? It's fine if the Dragon King can't be locked, after all, it's three major ranks higher. But now it's just a Martial Grandmaster, and it can't be locked either."
"Ding dong! There are many reasons why it cannot be locked. The greatest possibility is that the target has a defensive holy artifact on them."
It seemed to sense the dissatisfaction from the other party. The System explained to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao felt extreme pressure at this moment. The Dragon Killing Slash was Zhang Hao's only chance to kill the target. Unexpectedly, it was ineffective at this moment. This caused Zhang Hao's face to turn pale.
A tangible pressure enveloped Zhang Hao, making him unable to move.
"Hmph, do you think you can kill me?"
Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that he still had the teleportation ring. As long as he activated the teleportation ring, he could leave this place instantly. Thinking of this, he relaxed.
Xiao Long snorted coldly, looking at Zhang Hao and saying, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You have some hidden tricks, right? But do you think I'll let you use them?"
Zhang Hao's heart suddenly sank. He felt as if he had lost control of the System.
"Ding dong! Warning player, consciousness is shielded, unable to control the System..." The System's prompt sounded.
Ye Yunshang, Ning Xue, and Yun Qiuyu stood in front of Zhang Hao.
"Die!"
Xiao Long struck down with his palm.
"You guys go! Don't worry about me!" Zhang Hao roared.
The three women used all their strength, desperately attacking Xiao Long.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The three women groaned and were sent flying, falling to the ground, their life or death unknown.
"Xiao Long, I'll fight you to the death."
Zhang Hao gritted his teeth. Tears flowed down his face. His whole body trembled, but he was suppressed by the terrifying pressure. He couldn't move at all.
"Are you very scared? I'll let you know what despair is right now."
Xiao Long sneered and struck down at Zhang Hao again with another palm.
Zhang Hao felt a sense of despair. At this moment, his consciousness was shielded. He couldn't control the System at all. At this moment, he couldn't resist.
Just as that extremely terrifying strike was about to land on Zhang Hao, a white light erupted from his body.
This was a jade token, which blocked Zhang Hao's path. Xiao Long's strike landed on the white jade token, as if a mud ox had entered the sea, disappearing without a trace.
"What!"
Xiao Long let out a slight 'Eh'.
"Emperor's Mark!"
Zhang Hao looked at the jade token blocking him and exclaimed in surprise.
However, he quickly remembered that this was the Life Mark that Flying Old had implanted in his body when he was on the tenth floor of the Martial God Tower in the Outer Courtyard.
At that time, Flying Old told him that he would face a bloody disaster, and if he encountered real danger then, it would save his life.
Xiao Long roared, "Damn it, no one can stop This Young Master from killing someone!"
A long sword appeared in Xiao Long's hand, and he stabbed down at Zhang Hao. Sword Qi, sharp to the extreme, enveloped Zhang Hao's body. The Sword Qi carried boundless killing intent, like a great wave, as if it wanted to annihilate Zhang Hao.
"Hmph! Ignorant!"
A figure of an Old Man with white hair and beard appeared from the jade token and struck at Xiao Long with a palm.
"Boom!"
Under the Old Man's palm, Xiao Long's attack was completely annihilated.
"Uh!"
Xiao Long groaned. His entire body was sent flying. He roared furiously in the void.
"Damn it! This Young Master will get revenge for this, Old man, you just wait!"
"Boom!"
Xiao Long took out a talisman, waved it, and opened a spatial passage to enter. He disappeared from everyone's sight.
After repelling Xiao Long, the Old Man turned to look at Zhang Hao, nodded slightly, with a kind smile on his face.
"Flying Old!"
Flying Old nodded at him and said lightly, "Kid, we will meet again sooner or later."
After speaking, Flying Old disappeared in front of Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao suddenly felt dizzy. He fainted on the ground and knew nothing else.
He didn't know how long had passed.
Zhang Hao woke up. A girl was lying beside him.
"Where am I?" Zhang Hao shook his head.
The girl raised her head and looked at Zhang Hao, saying, "Zhang Hao, you're awake?"
This girl was pure and lovely, with exquisite beauty, and it was Gao Xinyu. However, she looked a bit haggard at the moment.
"Miss Gao, where is this? What... what happened to me?"
Zhang Hao shook his head, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart, and even a slight movement was very painful.
"You forgot! You fought a great battle with Xiao Long, and then after defeating Xiao Long, you fainted. You've been unconscious for three days and three nights." Gao Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao and said.
With Gao Xinyu's reminder, he finally remembered everything. However, the so-called defeat of Xiao Long by him was naturally impossible. It was Flying Old who saved him. He had narrowly escaped death!
Zhang Hao looked at Gao Xinyu and asked, "Have you been taking care of me these past few days?"
