Zhang Hao naturally knew that facing this terrifying Half-Step Martial Emperor, he definitely didn't have much chance of winning. Therefore, he immediately took out an umbrella. That's right, this umbrella was the Tianluo Umbrella, providing ten seconds of absolute defense.
Ten seconds might not accomplish much, but it was enough to withstand one attack from the opponent.
Although the Half-Step Martial Emperor saw Zhang Hao take out an umbrella, he didn't take it seriously. He sneered and still slapped down with his palm.
The power of this palm strike was overwhelming, as if it ignited the energy of the void.
In this second, the void darkened, as if it had frozen.
A "boom!" explosion sounded.
The Half-Step Martial Emperor's palm heavily struck the Tianluo Umbrella. But then a scene that shocked the Half-Step Martial Emperor occurred. The Half-Step Martial Emperor was startled to find that his palm strike, which landed on Zhang Hao's Tianluo Umbrella, vanished without a trace, like a mud ox entering the sea.
"How is this possible?" That Half-Step Martial Emperor still felt very shocked.
"Could it be a Saint-level magical treasure? But even an ordinary Saint-level treasure couldn't withstand my blow?" The Half-Step Martial Emperor was greatly startled.
Taking advantage of the moment the Half-Step Martial Emperor was stunned, Zhang Hao hugged Liu Mengyao and jumped into the rolling river.
The Half-Step Martial Emperor was instantly exasperated when he saw Zhang Hao and Liu Mengyao jump into the river together. Although he was a Half-Step Martial Emperor, it was unrealistic to find two people in this river. After all, the river water could isolate a Martial Warrior's Spiritual Sense. Moreover, the river water was flowing, not still.
"Damn it... damn it..." The Half-Step Martial Emperor immediately became furious.
The Half-Step Martial Emperor, enraged and exasperated, slammed two palms heavily onto the ground, creating two huge pits.
A dignified Half-Step Martial Emperor was actually allowed to escape by two Low Stage Martial Overlords. This left him speechless. He also felt very aggrieved; if this spread, it would be utterly humiliating.
"Damn it, you escaped, but your companions absolutely won't escape."
That Half-Step Martial Ancestor began to return to hunt down the Heavenly Alliance's Martial Warriors, especially the Fu Zi of the Ten Great Sects, who were even more within his hunting scope.
Zhang Hao hugged Liu Mengyao and jumped into the small river. Although Zhang Hao wasn't very good at swimming, fortunately, when he was in college, he had participated in a swimming interest group, so swimming didn't pose a problem for him.
However, Liu Mengyao, whom Zhang Hao was holding, was completely a landlubber. After struggling in the water for a bit, she fainted.
"Holy crap! A Martial Grandmaster, fainted so easily from choking on water? Thinking about that Junior Sister in the Martial King Realm who also fainted in the water last time. It seems no matter if they are a Martial King or a Martial Grandmaster, as long as they are landlubbers entering the water, there's nothing they can do."
However, Zhang Hao didn't dare to come out of the water immediately. Instead, he went downstream.
After all, Zhang Hao didn't know when that Half-Step Martial Emperor would emerge again. That would be troublesome. Although Liu Mengyao had fainted, he wasn't too worried. A Martial Grandmaster naturally wouldn't die so quickly. That girl in the Martial King Realm last time was quite strange.
About an hour later, Zhang Hao emerged from the water holding Liu Mengyao. He looked at the surrounding environment and found it was a mountain forest. He didn't know how far this place was from the Western Wilderness Plains.
However, no matter what, Zhang Hao was still preparing to wake Liu Mengyao up at this moment. But upon looking at Liu Mengyao, Zhang Hao's eyes straightened.
As everyone knows, when a woman wearing a skirt gets her clothes wet, the skirt will cling to her body, fully displaying her enticing curves.
Zhang Hao, being a novice, immediately felt his body heat up upon seeing this.
"Alright, consider yourself lucky. I'm not some despicable person who takes advantage of others' misfortune, otherwise I would have taken care of you right now. But why haven't you woken up yet? Do I have to sacrifice my second kiss and give you artificial respiration or something?" Zhang Hao mused inwardly.
Zhang Hao waited for another half an incense stick's time and found that Liu Mengyao still hadn't woken up. In this place, accidents could happen at any time. Therefore, Zhang Hao prepared to find a way to wake Liu Mengyao up. Otherwise, if people from the Heavenly Demon Sect appeared, it would also be a big problem.
Therefore, Zhang Hao remembered the method taught by his college teacher on Earth, placed his hand on Liu Mengyao's lower abdomen, and gently pressed.
"Mmm!" Liu Mengyao let out a soft moan.
Immediately, several mouthfuls of water sprayed out from Liu Mengyao's mouth.
Zhang Hao couldn't dodge in time and was sprayed directly.
Zhang Hao shook his head and said somewhat mockingly, "Does this count as an indirect wet kiss?"
Zhang Hao subconsciously cast his gaze upon the pair on Liu Mengyao's chest. With her rapid breathing, that pair surged like waves, rising and falling.
"Holy moly, I couldn't tell. You, little lady, look so thin, but you're so well-endowed?" Zhang Hao clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Mmm..."
Liu Mengyao opened her starry eyes. Upon realizing that Zhang Hao was looking at her with a lewd gaze, she was startled, sat up abruptly, and glared at Zhang Hao, saying, "What are you doing?"
"Heh heh, but I saved you, what kind of attitude is this?" Zhang Hao looked at Liu Mengyao with some dissatisfaction.
Liu Mengyao shook her head, recalled for a moment, and then remembered what had happened earlier. She said to Zhang Hao with an apologetic look, "Mmm, thank you."
Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. After all, you are still my maidservant, aren't you? Master, isn't it right to save his maidservant?"
Liu Mengyao rolled her eyes, but she naturally knew Zhang Hao was joking. Therefore, she asked Zhang Hao, "Where should we go now?"
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back now! If we don't, I'm afraid those Ten Fu Zi will say I deserted in the face of battle again."
Liu Mengyao pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Mmm, I'll go back with you."
Zhang Hao glanced at Liu Mengyao and mused inwardly: This little lady has completely entered the role of my maidservant.
At this moment, somewhere in the Western Wilderness Plains.
Only six of the Ten Fu Zi remained, and eight out of ten of the remaining Heavenly Alliance Martial Warriors were gone, leaving only a sparse group of over a hundred people. Even the remaining six Fu Zi looked extremely dishevelled at this moment, covered in blood, a terrible sight. It was clear how terrifying it was facing that Half-Step Martial Emperor earlier.
Li Junxiong, Yao Jin, and others had extremely ferocious and suppressed expressions at this moment. This time, they finally understood what it meant to try to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
Originally, this surprise attack on the Heavenly Demon Sect's main base was all for the Heavenly Demon Sect's Baoku (Treasure Vault). They never expected not to get the Baoku. Instead, they encountered the Heavenly Demon Sect's Half-Step Martial Emperor and had to use all their might to escape. Even so, four of the Ten Fu Zi died.
"Oh, so lively?"
Zhang Hao flew over from a distance, bringing Liu Mengyao with him.
"Zhang Hao, you still dare to come back."
Cao Yang was furious, he stood out, pointed at Zhang Hao, and his expression was exasperated.
