Zhang Hao also searched the Martial Emperor Old Man's storage bag. He looked carefully and found a token inside. It was palm-sized, heavy in his hand, and clearly not made of ordinary iron.
Looking carefully at this Martial Emperor, Zhang Hao found that the token had two large characters written on the front, Elder, followed by the number eight.
Zhang Hao immediately understood that the number eight likely indicated this Martial Emperor's rank among the Elders. However, seeing that there were still seven Martial Emperor positions above him also made him feel a hint of pressure.
"Hmm, this token seems to be able to sense the whereabouts of nearby Martial Emperors."
Seeing this, Zhang Hao's eyes lit up. If so, he could still use this token to find other Martial Emperors.
...
A day later, the Tarri Plains five hundred miles away.
The Tarri Plains was a vital transportation route connecting the Sixteen Kingdoms. Countless Martial Warriors and merchants passed through here every day.
A Blood Robe Old Man led over a dozen followers flying in the air. Wherever he passed, some Martial Warriors who were also flying in the air quickly made way.
"Who is this person? So overbearing!"
Some Martial Kings felt puzzled.
"Are you tired of living? Don't you have eyes? The leading Blood Robe Old Man is a Martial Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Recently, the Heavenly Demon Sect has become increasingly rampant. In the Northern Region, over a hundred noble families and dozens of small Colleges have been annihilated. The Three Great Academies are now just barely clinging to life," a Martial Warrior said somewhat helplessly.
"How can this be? Don't the Ten Great Sects care anymore?" a Martial Warrior said indignantly.
"Care? How can they care? The Heavenly Demon Sect is powerful now. The Ten Great Sects can barely protect themselves, how could they possibly deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect? It is said that this time, the Heavenly Demon Sect has no less than twenty Martial Emperors in the Northern Region. This is more than the total number of Martial Emperors in the Ten Great Sects combined. The Ten Great Sects would be burning high incense if the Heavenly Demon Sect doesn't seek trouble with them."
"Alas, if this continues, our Northern Region will fall under the tyranny of the Heavenly Demon Sect," a Martial Warrior sighed.
"However, have you heard? Some time ago, the Heavenly Demon Sect launched a large-scale invasion of the Hao Xian Sect, but was eventually repelled by the Hao Xian Sect. It is said that in that battle, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Martial Emperors were all injured," a short, thin Martial Warrior said with a mysterious smile.
"Hmm, it should be true. But I also heard a piece of news. It seems that when the Heavenly Demon Sect's Martial Emperors were attacking the Flying Sword Sect, one was killed by a mysterious Martial Warrior. We just don't know who that Martial Warrior is. That was a Martial Emperor! To kill one just like that is too powerful. It would be great if our Northern Region had a few more experts like that," another dark-skinned Martial Warrior said.
"I have acquaintances at the Flying Sword Sect. I heard that Martial Warrior was wearing a mask, and from the voice, he should be a young man," a Martial Warrior said.
"How could a young man kill a Martial Emperor? Are you bragging?" Some Martial Warriors seemed not to believe it.
"Believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
The Martial Warriors below were discussing, but the Heavenly Demon Sect's Thirteenth Elder flying in the void at this moment was exceptionally smug. In his opinion, the entire Northern Region continent would soon submit to the Heavenly Demon Sect. These Martial Warriors in front of him would all have to rely on him and be enslaved by him when the time came.
Suddenly, the Thirteenth Elder discovered a Masked Man standing in the void ahead. This Masked Man blocked his path.
"Damn it! Die!" The Thirteenth Elder extended a claw-like hand, grabbing towards Zhang Hao.
This claw was extremely terrifying, annihilating everything inch by inch wherever it passed.
This Masked Man was precisely Zhang Hao. Using the Heavenly Demon Sect Eighth Elder's token, Zhang Hao located the Thirteenth Elder's position through this token. Therefore, he arrived at this place in advance.
"Break for me!"
Zhang Hao's expression was cold and serious. He snorted, drew his long saber, and slashed down.
It directly hit the claw that the Heavenly Demon Sect Thirteenth Elder had grabbed with. He split that claw in half.
"Huh!"
The Thirteenth Elder felt a bit strange and immediately looked at Zhang Hao in astonishment. The aura emanating from him was clearly that of a Martial Grandmaster, yet he could withstand his attack.
"How dare you! You dare to block the path of our Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder! Come forward and accept death!"
Over a dozen Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmasters surrounded him together, looking at Zhang Hao with unfriendly expressions.
"Hmph, move aside. This time, I'm not looking for you," Zhang Hao said, his hands behind his back, floating in the void.
The Martial Warriors below were all stunned to see that someone actually dared to block the Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder in the void above.
"Who is this awesome person? He actually dares to block the Heavenly Demon Sect's Elder. Is he really tired of living?" a Martial Warrior said in astonishment.
"Who knows! Let's just watch. Maybe he has something to rely on!"
"How audacious! We will take you down today and let you know how great a sin it is to provoke the Heavenly Demon Sect," a Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmaster shouted.
After speaking, that Martial Grandmaster punched towards Zhang Hao.
"Seven Injury Fist!"
Zhang Hao casually punched back.
With a loud bang!
Zhang Hao's punch arrived later but struck first. He directly blasted the Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmaster's body into pieces.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao for killing a Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmaster, gaining 100000 experience points, 10000 True Qi, and 10 Frenzy Energy."
"How audacious!"
Seeing Zhang Hao kill their companion, the Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmasters were instantly filled with righteous indignation. They charged towards him from all directions.
Zhang Hao drew his Jing Ji Blade.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Layers of blade light slashed towards the dozen or so Martial Grandmasters.
Instantly, Zhang Hao unleashed twenty-five slashes.
The terrifying blade light tore through the void.
The Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmasters felt as if the streaks of blade light were invisible mountains crushing down on them. They felt almost suffocated.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
...
One by one, the Martial Grandmasters were all torn apart by Zhang Hao's blade light, turning into his experience points.
The Martial Warriors watching below were all utterly shocked when they saw Zhang Hao effortlessly annihilate the Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmasters.
"Who is this? He's so strong?" a Martial Warrior exclaimed.
"I remember now, could he be the Masked Man who killed a Heavenly Demon Sect Elder at the Flying Sword Sect?" another Martial Warrior asked in shock.
As the Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Grandmasters were all annihilated by Zhang Hao, the Heavenly Demon Sect Thirteenth Elder, whose face had been cold and stern, finally showed a trace of anger. He said lightly to Zhang Hao, "You have quite the guts, daring to kill my Heavenly Demon Sect's Martial Grandmasters?"
Zhang Hao smiled faintly, saying with a hint of mockery, "Heh heh, I don't have great guts, but I do have the guts to kill people."
