In the following days, Zhang Hao's matches were very easy. For Zhang Hao, who could defeat Yu Zongbao, no one thought he won by Luck anymore, so most opponents actively conceded. A large number of opponents conceded because they were afraid Zhang Hao's Chrysanthemum Remains would land on them.
These were the last two days of the first round of elimination matches.
"Ge Xia, your strength is formidable. I concede."
The youth in front of Zhang Hao conceded straightforwardly and then jumped down himself.
The Referee was also somewhat helpless. A Martial Warrior who didn't even dare to make a move would not have much future prospects.
Three hours later, Zhang Hao had his second match.
"Poison Prince You Jianbin versus Zhang Hao!" the Referee said.
Zhang Hao stepped onto the battle stage and looked at the Blue-Clothed Youth before him. This Blue-Clothed Youth was completely covered in clothing. He couldn't see the youth's appearance at all.
"Match begins!" the Referee shouted.
The weapon You Jianbin used was very rare; it was a hook, emitting a faint blue, fierce light.
With a "Swish!" You Jianbin hooked towards Zhang Hao.
"Such speed!"
Zhang Hao's heart trembled. He spun his foot and swayed his body slightly, dodging the opponent's hook. Suddenly, a cold wind came at him. Zhang Hao smelled a strange odor.
What is this smell?
Zhang Hao's heart trembled! He quickly held his breath, but by now, it was a bit late. Zhang Hao felt his head becoming somewhat Stun.
Immediately after, Zhang Hao felt his entire body's strength rapidly diminishing.
Damn it, this is poison! Zhang Hao's heart turned cold.
"You use poison?" Zhang Hao asked You Jianbin with a cold, sharp tone.
You Jianbin looked at Zhang Hao and smiled smugly, saying, "Don't you know what my nickname is? Poison Prince You Jianbin!"
"Damn it!"
Zhang Hao really didn't know; it wasn't recorded in Qian Xiao's pamphlet either. Otherwise, he would have paid attention to this.
Zhang Hao immediately used 10000 points from the System to buy an antidote pill. However, this antidote pill still needed time to take effect. Although Zhang Hao often complained about the System, the antidote pills sold in the System Store were very reliable.
"Don't think about stalling for time. Although there are many people in the world who can cure This Young Master's poison, Ge Xia is not among them!" The Poison Prince said to Zhang Hao with a faint smile.
Saying this, the Poison Prince began to launch a fierce attack on Zhang Hao. His poisonous hook constantly targeted Zhang Hao's body, sharp and unparalleled, covering an area within three meters.
Zhang Hao used Lingbo Micro Step to defend. He did not actively attack; otherwise, if his True Qi circulated, the poison would invade his internal organs even more easily.
The Poison Prince frowned slightly. Originally, he thought that Zhang Hao, having been hit by his poison attack, would be easily dealt with. He never expected Zhang Hao to be so tenacious. Especially the opponent's movement technique was very profound. He couldn't take down the opponent for a while.
"Kid, don't think that by not attacking, you can neutralize my poison. As long as my poison is in your body, it will slowly erode your internal organs. By then, you will die with your intestines ruptured and stomach rotten." Poison Prince You Jianbin looked at Zhang Hao and smiled cruelly.
Zhang Hao didn't speak, only pushing Lingbo Micro Step to its limit. Seen in front one moment, suddenly behind the next.
You Jianbin gritted his teeth in frustration. Victory was within his grasp, but the opponent's movement technique left him helpless.
"Kid, later, I will make you kneel before me and repent your ignorance. This Young Master will let you taste the most painful way to die!" You Jianbin shouted sharply.
"Clang!" A flash of bloody light.
Zhang Hao's Blood God Blade suddenly unsheathed. Chilling Killing Intent permeated the air.
"Astonishing Cold Glimpse!"
This strike was without any fancy moves. It was just fast, accurate, and ruthless, cutting through the air with a streak of blood-red light, slashing down towards You Jianbin. In the blink of an eye, it was before him.
With a "Puchi!"
You Jianbin had not expected that Zhang Hao would still have the strength to attack at this moment. He couldn't resist at all. This strike sent both You Jianbin and his poisonous hook flying out.
"Wa!"
You Jianbin fell to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale. He looked at Zhang Hao in disbelief and asked, "You... you weren't poisoned?"
"I was! Unfortunately, your poison is too weak. Young Master easily neutralized it." Zhang Hao looked at You Jianbin and smiled mockingly.
"Impossible, impossible, how could you have neutralized it? How could you have neutralized it?" You Jianbin was incredulous, his face filled with disbelief.
Zhang Hao smiled coldly, "Nothing is impossible." After saying that, Zhang Hao said to You Jianbin, "Are you going to concede yourself, or should This Young Master send you down?"
You Jianbin remembered the scene of Zhang Hao sending someone down earlier, and his heart instantly turned cold. He quickly said, "I concede."
At this moment, the Referee said, "In this round, Zhang Hao wins..."
Just then, a black object was thrown towards Zhang Hao.
"Go to hell!" You Jianbin roared with a ferocious expression.
Seeing You Jianbin's ferocious expression, Zhang Hao immediately knew that the black object was strange, and his heart instantly turned cold. However, it was too late to dodge. He immediately slashed with his blade. At the critical moment, the object was blocked back by Zhang Hao and instead fell towards You Jianbin.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded.
You Jianbin let out a tragic scream.
"This is a Poison Fire Bomb? It is said to have been refined by the Black Heart Elder three hundred years ago, with less than a hundred remaining. How could You Jianbin have one? It's too terrifying?"
"That's right, this Poison Fire Bomb is said to stick like a maggot to the bone once it touches you, and you can't shake it off. The only way is to knock it away before it explodes."
This was the first death on the Fifth Battle Stage. After all, the Elder had repeatedly ordered that no killing of opponents was allowed this year, so the casualties in this grand competition were not high.
The Referee was also slightly stunned. However, he knew what had happened and understood that Zhang Hao was indeed not to blame. He then said, "In this match, Zhang Hao wins!"
Zhang Hao nodded and turned to leave. Suddenly, a cold, sharp voice sounded.
"Referee, I, Wen Tailai, do not accept this. Zhang Hao disregarded the rules of the Outer Sect Grand Elder and killed his opponent. This Young Master suggests abolishing his cultivation as a warning to others." Wen Tailai's voice said.
The Referee frowned and said, "This doesn't comply with the rules, does it? After all, the Poison Prince attacked first. The Disciples of the Sect present were all witnesses. Moreover, it was You Jianbin who violated the rules by using the Poison Fire Bomb. Furthermore, the casualty this time was an accident. This Deacon believes that Zhang Hao should not have known beforehand that the hidden weapon was a Poison Fire Bomb."
Wen Tailai frowned, looked at the Referee, and said coldly, "Deacon Jiu, what benefit have you received from Zhang Hao that you keep speaking up for him?"
