With a cat's meow, Little Black's blade sliced across Nangong Ping's neck.
“Poof!” Nangong Ping felt a chill on his neck. His eyes were wide open, completely unaware of what had happened.
“Meow!”
Little Black let out a triumphant cry, and with a flicker of his black shadow, he vanished into the void once more.
“Sixth Brother!”
Nangong Jing, Nangong Tai, and the others rushed over.
Seeing that Nangong Ping had become a corpse, grief welled up in each of them.
“Chase him down!”
Nangong Ao was also burning with rage and was the first to chase in the direction of Zhang Hao.
After Little Black returned, Zhang Hao was ready to retreat. He swiftly moved through the forest. However, he felt it was strange, no matter how he changed direction, the Nangong Family could still easily find his location.
Therefore, Zhang Hao stopped.
Six figures appeared in Zhang Hao's line of sight. Zhang Hao did not flee, but rather watched the six men at his leisure.
These six men were the Guardians of the Nangong Family. Originally, there were ten Guardians corresponding to the ten Elders, but four of the ten Guardians were killed in the battle at the Nangong Family. Six Great Guardians remained at this moment. Therefore, the expressions of these six men looking at Zhang Hao were extremely resentful.
“Zhang Hao, you scoundrel, you killed my four brothers. This time, I will make you pay for your blood debt,” the Great Guardian said to Zhang Hao with a cold voice.
Zhang Hao was slightly stunned, looking at the Great Guardian and saying, “Heh heh, four brothers? Are you talking about those four short-lived ghosts in the Nangong Estate? Hahaha, don't worry, I am very compassionate, and I will send you all down to reunite with your four brothers. How lively it will be for the whole family!”
“Damn it, kill him!” the Great Guardian roared.
The six men charged towards Zhang Hao together.
Zhang Hao drew his long blade and advanced instead of retreating. He knew that he had to finish the battle quickly. Otherwise, if Nangong Ao and the others caught up, it would definitely be troublesome. Therefore, he released both Little Dragon and Little Black.
Little Dragon held back two Guardians for him. Zhang Hao fought the remaining four Guardians alone. Although Little Dragon's cultivation was not as high as the two Guardians, he had thick skin and flesh. Coupled with merely fighting defensively, holding back two Guardians was barely achievable.
“Cold Blade Ice Heart!”
Zhang Hao unleashed an extremely cold blade strike, and where it passed, cold currents surged. It was as if it would Ice Seal the space.
This strike greatly alarmed the four Guardians. The surging cold currents slightly stifled their movements. Zhang Hao used Lingbo Micro Step to its limit, stepping into the void. His movements strangely appeared behind the tenth Guardian. He struck down with his blade.
The tenth Guardian was greatly alarmed and struck out with his blade, blocking in front of him.
“Clang!”
This strike sent the tenth Guardian flying more than ten meters away.
“Wow!” The Guardian spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
“Meow!”
A black shadow flashed out from behind the tenth Guardian, and a blade sliced towards his neck.
“Puchi!”
The tenth Guardian's neck was instantly cut open. Blood spurted out wildly. He fell to the ground, already a corpse.
“Meow!” Little Black let out a triumphant cry, and with a flicker of his body, vanished into the void.
“Tenth Brother!”
Seeing the tenth Guardian killed, the other Guardians were instantly filled with rage.
“I want your life!”
The three Guardians fiercely launched an attack on Zhang Hao, as if each of them was risking their lives.
“Red Apricot in Snow!”
Zhang Hao unleashed forty-nine strikes. The illusion formed by the forty-nine blade lights instantly stunned the three Guardians. At this moment, the three Guardians, who were overwhelmed by anger, were most susceptible to inner demons taking advantage of the situation. At this moment, the figures of the tenth Guardian, fourth Guardian, fifth Guardian, sixth Guardian, and seventh Guardian actually appeared before them.
“Tenth Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, you are all not dead? You are all here, that's great…” The Great Guardian was instantly overjoyed and very excited.
However, the Great Guardian was after all a Martial King (high stage) Martial Warrior. He quickly realized something was wrong. He quickly sobered up. A terrifying blade light slashed down from the void.
Although the Great Guardian dodged quickly, he was still cut by the blade light. His body was covered in blood, but he temporarily saved his life. However, the eighth Guardian and the ninth Guardian were not so lucky.
When this strike was unleashed, Zhang Hao had already reactivated the System's notification sound. Killing Martial Warriors of this level, he still liked to hear the System's mechanical yet extremely beautiful notification sound.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for killing the Nangong Family's ninth Guardian, experience points 200000, True Qi 20000, Frenzy Energy 10”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for killing the Nangong Family's eighth Guardian, experience points 350000, True Qi 35000, Frenzy Energy 10”
Zhang Hao shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless. The ninth Guardian's cultivation was weaker than his own, so the experience points were relatively low. The eighth Guardian's cultivation was similar to his own. According to this stingy System's judgment, the experience points were not very high either. This System's setting was that only by killing Martial Warriors with higher cultivation than himself would he receive relatively generous experience points.
“Damn it, you killed my tenth brother, you killed my ninth brother, and you killed my eighth brother! I'll fight you to the death!” The Great Guardian went crazy, frantically pouncing towards Zhang Hao.
“Hmph, I really like sending people on their way. Since you are seeking death, I won't be stingy,” Zhang Hao sneered.
When he was surrounded by four people, Zhang Hao was still at ease, let alone now that there was only the Great Guardian alone.
“Hundred Blade Slash!”
Zhang Hao waved his hand, instantly unleashing eighteen strikes, blasting towards the Great Guardian's body.
Eighteen overbearing blade lights swept towards the Great Guardian's body.
“Break for me!”
The Great Guardian used a secret technique, increasing his cultivation by thirty percent. Terrifying blade lights shot out from the blade in his hand.
He blocked seventeen of the strikes.
But this terrifying eighteenth strike possessed the strength of one dragon. 13,107,200 jin of strength. The void seemed to be about to shatter under Zhang Hao's strike.
A clear and powerful dragon roar sounded.
“Boom!” A sound of clashing weapons echoed.
The two blades collided in the void.
The Great Guardian's hand went numb, and the blade in his hand was even shattered by Zhang Hao's overbearing power. Zhang Hao's strike went straight through and slammed into the Great Guardian's body.
The Great Guardian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
“Die!”
Zhang Hao roared, appearing above the Great Guardian's body like a shadow, and struck down with his blade again.
At this moment, the Great Guardian's entire body's meridians were shattered by Zhang Hao's strike. He was completely powerless to resist. He could only watch as Zhang Hao's blade struck down.
Zhang Hao's strike went down, directly cutting off the Great Guardian's head.
“Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for killing the Nangong Family's Great Guardian. Experience points 800000, True Qi 80000, Frenzy Energy 10” The System's mechanical notification sound echoed.
