After pressing the remote control, Zhang Hao immediately began to fly away. But at this moment, the Great Guardian seemed to have discovered Zhang Hao.
A Killing Intent locked onto Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was instantly terrified. This Great Guardian had actually discovered him so easily. Zhang Hao was well aware of his own limitations against a High Stage Martial Overlord; he was no match for the opponent at all.
Zhang Hao mustered all his strength, wanting to escape. But how could the Great Guardian let Zhang Hao escape from his grasp? He chased closely behind Zhang Hao, determined to catch him.
"Boom!" A fierce punch swept towards Zhang Hao's back with unstoppable force.
"Lingbo Micro Step!"
Zhang Hao's body swayed slightly, avoiding the attack of that punch.
With a "boom!" an explosion sounded. That punch exploded directly beside Zhang Hao, instantly annihilating a large tree. It was reduced to rubble.
"Kid, under the hands of me, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Northern Region Great Guardian, you still want to escape? Do you think that's possible?" the Great Guardian said coldly.
Zhang Hao, however, said dismissively, "Then let's try."
Feeling a strong Killing Intent locking onto him, Zhang Hao's heart tightened. The Blood God Blade was unsheathed, and he slashed down with one strike, directly hitting that punch.
With a "bang!" an explosion sounded.
Zhang Hao felt as if his strike had hit a wall of bronze and iron. A huge Recoil Force bounced back from that punch.
"Ugh!"
Zhang Hao grunted. His entire body flew backward, consecutively knocking down several large trees before landing on the ground.
The Great Guardian snorted coldly and lunged towards Zhang Hao again, sending a punch towards him.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Zhang Hao instantly unleashed a series of blade flows, slamming them towards the Great Guardian. Eighteen blade lights crushed down, fiercely hitting that punch.
"Boom!"
Amidst the intense explosion,
the punch of a High Stage Martial Overlord, with unstoppable force, completely scattered those few strikes. Then, it continued to blast towards Zhang Hao's body.
"Nineteenth strike!"
"Twentieth strike!"
Until Zhang Hao used his twenty-second strike.
The twenty-second strike contained the power of twenty dragons. The entire void erupted with a crisp sound.
"Boom!"
Blade and fist collided in the void.
Zhang Hao's twenty-second strike directly shattered the opponent's punch.
"Huh!"
The Great Guardian was somewhat surprised. He seemed to have not expected that Zhang Hao, a second-stage Martial Grandmaster, could actually take his punch.
"Hmph, take another punch from me."
The Great Guardian snorted coldly. With the previous punch, he had only used sixty percent of his strength. At this moment, he unleashed another punch.
This punch carried extremely terrifying Killing Intent, enveloping Zhang Hao's entire body.
With this punch, the Great Guardian had used eighty percent of his strength.
"Lingbo Micro Step!"
Zhang Hao's footwork was unleashed. His entire body swayed slightly, as if transforming into a blurry wisp of smoke.
With a "bang!"
A large pit exploded beside Zhang Hao. This pit was one meter square and at least two meters deep. Such powerful attack force made Zhang Hao feel his hairs stand on end.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Zhang Hao unleashed his twenty-third strike. This was also the most powerful strike Zhang Hao had used so far.
With the power of forty dragons, it instantly reduced ninety percent of the Great Guardian's punch. But even so, ten percent of the force still hit Zhang Hao's body.
Zhang Hao let out a "Wah!" and flew backward dozens of meters, falling to the ground.
"Die!"
The Great Guardian lunged towards Zhang Hao.
"Lingbo Micro Step!"
Zhang Hao immediately sprang up from the ground, once again unleashing the Lingbo Micro Step to its limit. At the same time, he was constantly thinking of a countermeasure.
In the moment of crisis, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that when he killed Nangong Ao, he seemed to have obtained a Great Teleportation Talisman, which he had never used.
Therefore, Zhang Hao immediately took out the Great Teleportation Talisman.
"Ding dong! A Great Teleportation Talisman has been detected. Do you want to use it?" The System's prompt sounded.
"Use!" Zhang Hao immediately thought to himself.
Instantly, Zhang Hao disappeared from his original location.
The Heavenly Demon Sect's Great Guardian, who was about to kill Zhang Hao, watched with wide eyes as Zhang Hao disappeared before him, instantly becoming enraged.
"Damn it, it's actually a Great Teleportation Talisman? How could the Hao Xian Sect have a Great Teleportation Talisman, and on a Disciple at that? Could that Disciple just now be some important Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect?"
The Great Guardian muttered to himself, very surprised.
Dozens of kilometers away,
Zhang Hao was lying on the ground, his internal organs almost shattered. Ten percent of a Great Martial Grandmaster's power was enough to reduce someone to dust. If Zhang Hao hadn't been a Cultivator, he would likely have been finished by now. Even so, Zhang Hao was severely injured at the moment, with almost all his internal organs displaced.
"Damn it! Good thing I ran fast, otherwise I'd be finished," Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
However, Zhang Hao also knew that although he had used the Great Teleportation Talisman, the Great Teleportation Talisman could only send him out about ten li at most. A distance of ten li was instantaneous for a High Stage Martial Overlord. Therefore, he knew that he had to leave this place immediately.
Zhang Hao endured the intense pain throughout his body, found a cave, and entered. Then, he took out a healing Dan and swallowed it. He immediately began to heal his injuries.
Zhang Hao did not know that less than half an hour after he left, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Great Guardian found the location where he had been earlier.
"It seems I arrived too late. Consider yourself lucky to have run so fast. Next time you fall into my hands, I will make you wish you were dead," the Great Guardian muttered, his face full of Killing Intent.
A day later,
Zhang Hao slowly opened his eyes. He felt that his injuries had lessened by more than half. A smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "As a Cultivator, my injuries recover quickly!"
After a slight pause, Zhang Hao muttered, "I wonder how Qi Zhao and Mengyao are doing. They should still be waiting for me in Western Yuan City now!"
Since his injuries had recovered by more than half, Zhang Hao was now preparing to return to Western Yuan City to meet up with the two.
Western Yuan City,
Qi Zhao and Liu Mengyao were sitting in the inn. Their location was directly facing the city gate. It was clear at a glance who entered the city each day.
"Sigh, I don't know how Zhang Hao is doing now, but good people don't live long, while scourges last a thousand years. He will definitely be fine," Qi Zhao muttered.
"Let's wait a little longer. He will definitely be fine. I believe in him," Liu Mengyao said.
"Believe in what!"
A playful voice came from beside the two. Who else could this person be but Zhang Hao?
