Inside a forest in Wanmo Ridge
Lin Junwei, Guo Sheng, and Lin Chaoyuan were under a large tree, having lit a bonfire and roasting meat.
"We've been here for two days and haven't seen a single thing. I don't think there are any Heavenly Demon Sect people here," Lin Chaoyuan said.
Lin Junwei smacked his lips and said, "Let's keep looking. If we don't find anything, we'll report the massacre of Xiye Village and how the villagers' vital essence was drained dry. I think that should count as a clue."
"Haha, that's right, Brother Junwei. Strictly speaking, Player Zhang Hao discovered this clue, but who would have thought it would benefit us this time?" Lin Chaoyuan said somewhat smugly.
Lin Junwei said disdainfully, "This person has no self-awareness, to actually dare to offend Young Master Wen. It's no wonder Young Master Wen wants us to kill him."
Guo Sheng said with some worry, "But I heard that Zhang Hao is someone Tu Zhan values. If he just dies like this, do you think he will believe our words?"
Lin Junwei said disdainfully, "So what if it's Tu Zhan? As long as we insist they were killed by Heavenly Demon Sect people, there's no proof to the contrary, what else can they do? What's more, their bodies are all inside Wan Gui Ku (Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave). Would Hao Xian Sect people dare to go in and look? So, trust me, brothers, it'll be fine."
Lin Chaoyuan also felt relieved and said with a smile, "Brother Junwei is right."
"Heh heh, quite the good plan!"
A sneer came from the depths of the forest.
Lin Junwei's expression changed. He stood up and shouted, "Who is it? Why not come out and meet? What's with hiding your head and tail?"
Guo Sheng and Lin Chaoyuan also stood up together, their expressions wary.
"As you wish!"
As the voice fell, soon, Zhang Hao, Liu Mengyao, and Qi Zhao walked out.
Lin Junwei looked at the three of them, his expression somewhat incredulous.
"Impossible, didn't you enter Wan Gui Ku (Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave)? How could you come out?" Lin Junwei's voice was filled with utter shock.
Guo Sheng and Lin Chaoyuan were also extremely surprised, unable to believe their eyes.
"Perhaps, Heaven saw you doing evil to the extreme and was unwilling to let you succeed!" Zhang Hao said with a teasing smile.
"Hmph hmph, since you didn't die, you should have hidden far away. You shouldn't have appeared before us again. Don't blame us for personally sending you off."
Lin Junwei finished speaking with a sinister expression, then said to Guo Sheng and Lin Chaoyuan beside him, "Go! Kill them without mercy."
Guo Sheng and Lin Chaoyuan acknowledged with a sound and charged towards Zhang Hao and the others together.
Liu Mengyao and Qi Zhao, as previously agreed, charged towards Lin Junwei together.
"Junior Sister Liu, you think you two can oppose me? Simply absurd."
Lin Junwei snorted coldly and casually threw a punch, shaking open Liu Mengyao's sword. However, Qi Zhao's spear seamlessly thrust towards him, giving him no time to pursue Liu Mengyao.
Lin Junwei frowned. Although Qi Zhao's attack was insignificant in his eyes, he couldn't ignore it.
"Scram!"
Lin Junwei exploded with a punch, striking towards Qi Zhao.
"Boom!"
Lin Junwei's casual punch shook open Qi Zhao's spear. Following like a shadow, he punched towards Qi Zhao again.
"Destruction Intent!"
Feeling Lin Junwei's terrifying punch, Qi Zhao's brows furrowed. He thrust his spear out again.
This spear thrust was several times stronger than the previous one.
At the same time, Liu Mengyao also attacked. The two of them fought against Lin Junwei together.
Although Lin Junwei's cultivation was far above Liu Mengyao and Qi Zhao's, it was impossible for him to defeat them in the shortest amount of time.
On the other side, the battle between Zhang Hao and Guo Sheng and Lin Chaoyuan was also in full swing.
"Overlapping Wave Palm!"
Zhang Hao struck out with a palm, the continuous attacks making Guo Sheng and Lin Chaoyuan extremely passive. When Zhang Hao struck out with the thirteenth palm, the attack was overwhelming.
"Divine Destruction Blade!"
Guo Sheng unleashed continuous blade shadows, slashing down towards Zhang Hao. However, the blade light struck Zhang Hao's continuous palm shadows and was instantly blocked.
"Die!"
Zhang Hao struck down with another palm.
Under the heavy cover of palm shadows, Guo Sheng felt as if he had fallen into a cage. All around him was boundless killing intent.
"Break open for me!" Guo Sheng roared.
Endless blade light slashed out, striking the continuous palm shadows around him.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Guo Sheng felt as if his blade light had struck against giant waves, and a massive backlash force surged towards him.
"Die!"
The next second, Zhang Hao appeared behind Guo Sheng and struck down with a palm. This palm directly hit Guo Sheng's back. The immense palm force sent Guo Sheng flying.
"Thud!" Guo Sheng fell to the ground.
"Hmph, accept your death!"
Zhang Hao was about to kill Guo Sheng when, at this moment, Lin Chaoyuan saw Guo Sheng was in danger and charged from the side to rescue him.
"How dare you!"
Lin Chaoyuan roared and thrust his spear forward, trying to stop Zhang Hao.
"Scram!"
Zhang Hao changed his palm to a fist and, without dodging, punched Lin Chaoyuan's spear. The powerful explosive force shook his spear open.
"Seven Injury Fist - Sun Heart!"
Zhang Hao punched out again, hitting Lin Chaoyuan directly in the chest.
"Thud!"
Lin Chaoyuan screamed miserably, his entire body flying back like a kite with a broken string.
Zhang Hao no longer paid attention to Lin Chaoyuan and stomped down towards Guo Sheng's head.
Guo Sheng's face showed terror, but he was severely injured at the moment and had no way to resist.
"No!" Guo Sheng shouted in terror.
With a "splat!". Guo Sheng's head shattered like a watermelon.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao, for killing Guo Sheng. Experience points 1000000, True Qi 100000, Frenzy Energy 10."
Damn, truly trash. Zhang Hao shook his head. Guo Sheng's cultivation was similar to his. The System naturally wouldn't give him much experience.
"Guo Sheng!"
When Lin Chaoyuan saw Guo Sheng killed by Zhang Hao, he immediately became furious. He and Guo Sheng were like brothers, and with Guo Sheng's death, he naturally felt a sense of sorrow for his fallen comrade. Holding his spear, he charged towards Zhang Hao again, attacking somewhat wildly.
"Hmph, since you're looking for death, don't blame me."
"Overlapping Wave Palm!"
Zhang Hao unleashed a rapid succession of palm shadows, attacking Lin Chaoyuan.
Overlapping Wave Palm can stack the power of previous palm strikes. The further it goes, the greater the power. This is similar to Zhang Hao's Hundred Blade Slash, though Overlapping Wave Palm is naturally less powerful. However, Overlapping Wave Palm carries a special power of imprisonment and killing. It can trap and kill enemies within the cage created by the palm shadows. This is something Hundred Blade Slash does not possess.
Under Zhang Hao's rapid attacks, Lin Chaoyuan was completely helpless. Every spear thrust he made was instantly dissolved under Zhang Hao's continuous palm attacks.
