"Dou Bi, Ning Xue, and Qiu Yu, the selection for the Ten Great Sects will begin again in a while. At that time, as long as you perform well, Hao Xian Sect will admit you. I have already made arrangements with the high-ranking officials of Hao Xian Sect," Zhang Hao said seriously as he looked at everyone.
"Boss, we will definitely catch up to your steps."
Dou Bi, Zhang Jianfeng, Ying Da, and the others looked at Zhang Hao and said firmly.
Yun Qiuyu, Ning Xue, Gao Xinyu, and the other girls also nodded, indicating they would go to Hao Xian Sect. After all, that was Zhang Hao's Sect.
The three girls and Dou Bi and the others finally left.
Zhang Hao watched everyone leave, feeling a bit melancholic. However, he quickly reined in these emotions, because he knew the storm was coming soon.
The news of Zhang Hao's return to the Ninghai City Zhang Family was quickly known by people from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ten Great Sects. Experts from the Sixteen Kingdoms' Heavenly Demon Sect and Six Great Sects rushed towards Ninghai City frantically.
After the news of Zhang Hao killing the Fu Zi from the Six Great Sects spread, Zhang Hao had become a common enemy of the Six Great Sects. Any Disciple of the Ten Great Sects had an obligation to kill him.
Zhang Hao had just walked out of Ninghai City. Hundreds of Martial Warriors surrounded him from all directions. These Martial Warriors wore Blood Robes, and every one of them had an aura of Martial King (high stage) or higher. The ten leaders were all Martial Grandmasters.
"Zhang Hao, surrender and be captured!"
The Blood Robe Man leading them looked at Zhang Hao and said coldly.
"Surrender and be captured? As expected, Elder Su Li of the Heavenly Demon Sect is an idiot, and every one of his Disciples is the same." Zhang Hao shook his head with a look of extreme disdain.
"Damn it, kill him!"
The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect shouted at the hundred Martial Kings behind him.
A hundred Martial Kings from the Heavenly Demon Sect charged at Zhang Hao from all directions.
"Array Dao?"
Zhang Hao originally thought these Martial Kings were just cannon fodder, but only now did he realize that these Martial Kings from the Heavenly Demon Sect had all practiced Array Dao. The great array formed by a hundred Martial Kings was absolutely extraordinary, capable of unleashing strength comparable to a Half-Step Martial Emperor.
"So what if it's a Half-Step Martial Emperor? Has this Young Master killed few Half-Step Martial Emperors?"
Zhang Hao let out a cold snort and advanced instead of retreating.
Those Martial Kings from the Heavenly Demon Sect charged at Zhang Hao from all directions, trapping him within the great array. Streaks of bloody blade light descended from the crowd, enveloping his location.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Zhang Hao unleashed the twenty-eighth slash with one strike.
A domineering, mountain-like slash naturally shattered the blood blade easily.
"Hmph, first I'll find the weakness of your Array Dao. Showing off Array Dao in front of this Young Master is simply showing off one's meager skill before an expert," Zhang Hao said with some disdain.
As an Array Dao Master, and an eighth-Rank Array Dao Master at that, Zhang Hao naturally found the weakness of this Array Dao easily.
"Cold Blade Ice Heart!"
Zhang Hao roared, unleashing the most powerful slash of the Aohan Six Styles.
The surrounding temperature instantly dropped by hundreds of degrees. Endless cold currents surged out, and heavy snow fell all around. A hundred miles were Ice Sealing.
Dozens of Martial Kings from the Heavenly Demon Sect were Ice Sealing into statues by Zhang Hao's slash.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Zhang Hao instantly unleashed twenty-five slashes. The blade light crushed everything in its path, and the remaining Martial Kings all became souls under Zhang Hao's blade.
The ten leaders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were all greatly alarmed when they discovered that their Disciples had been slaughtered so easily by Zhang Hao.
Although these Disciples were all Martial Kings, after cultivating Array Dao, their combat power was comparable to a Half-Step Martial Emperor. Yet, they were still killed by Zhang Hao.
"Everyone, attack together!"
The ten Martial Grandmasters rushed towards Zhang Hao together.
Zhang Hao sneered and shouted, "Astonishing Cold Glimpse!"
A terrifying slash swept past, directly killing two Martial Grandmasters.
"Ding dong!"
...
"Dual Blade Style!"
Zhang Hao held dual blades. He advanced instead of retreating. With every slash, a Martial Grandmaster from the Heavenly Demon Sect became a soul under his blade.
Half an hour later, all the Martial Grandmasters of the Heavenly Demon Sect were killed, turning into Zhang Hao's experience points.
After another hundred miles
Another hundred-plus Martial Warriors surrounded him. Zhang Hao saw that they were Disciples of Ziyang Sect. Because of Xiao Long, Zhang Hao utterly detested the Disciples of Ziyang Sect.
"Zhang Hao, I've searched high and low for you. Today must be my, Cheng Deng's, lucky day!" Cheng Deng said proudly as he looked at Zhang Hao.
"Hehe, perhaps this isn't your luck, but your disaster." Zhang Hao drew his Blood God Blade.
"Zhang Hao, I know your combat power is strong, but I won't play by the rules with you either. Today, if you want to leave, you must take down this many of us first." Cheng Deng looked at Zhang Hao smugly.
Zhang Hao looked and saw that these Disciples of Ziyang Sect were all Martial Grandmasters. Dozens were Low Stage Martial Overlords, and more than ten were Mid-level Martial Grandmasters.
"Then go die!"
A terrifying Killing Intent emanated from Zhang Hao's entire body.
"Ten Directions Extinction!"
The first style of the Slaughter God Blade Technique was unleashed with a swing of Zhang Hao's Blood God Blade.
As this slash was unleashed, Zhang Hao felt a third of his entire body's strength being drained. The surrounding world darkened, black clouds covered the sky, obscuring the sun.
This slash seemed capable of tearing through the void. It was terrifying to the extreme.
"How can he be this strong!"
Cheng Deng's smug expression vanished completely, replaced by extreme fear. He felt so insignificant under this world-destroying slash. The blade light passed through his body.
Endless blade light crushed towards where the Disciples of Ziyang Sect were. Although the Martial Warriors reacted and frantically activated their defensive energy shields to resist Zhang Hao's slash, their defensive energy shields were as fragile as paper under Zhang Hao's slash, instantly torn apart.
"Ahhh!"
Over a hundred Martial Warriors were instantly killed by Zhang Hao's slash, turning into Zhang Hao's experience points.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao on leveling up. Current level: Martial Grandmaster Ninth Heaven." The System's prompt sounded.
Finally, he reached Martial Grandmaster Ninth Heaven. A hint of joy appeared on Zhang Hao's face. Despite this, Zhang Hao wasn't overly smug, because he knew there was a big gap between himself and Xiao Long. Xiao Long was already a Martial Emperor long ago, and after going through the Sun Moon Mysterious Pool, his current cultivation must have advanced by leaps and bounds. If he wanted to defeat Xiao Long on the day of the bride snatching, it would be a long and arduous journey!
Zhang Hao had experienced two ambushes and knew his whereabouts were exposed, so he had to be careful next. Zhang Hao immediately used disguise techniques, transforming himself into a man of average build.
It seemed it was because Zhang Hao had disguised himself. As expected, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Six Great Sects lost their target and couldn't find Zhang Hao anymore. At this moment, Zhang Hao had appeared on Black Smoke Mountain, dozens of miles away from Ninghai City.
Zhang Hao caught a wild chicken and was roasting it.
"My next goal is to break through and become a Martial Emperor. Only then can I further close the distance with Xiao Long," Zhang Hao said, muttering as he took a big bite of the roasted chicken.
"Ding dong! The System has issued an upgrade quest. Player Zhang Hao can enter the System panel to view it." The System's prompt sounded.
