Grandmaster VS 9 Grand Preceptors

Su Hao kept running forward without stopping, getting further and further away from the small town.

After a while, he realized that he still hadn't shaken off the pursuit of the nine grand preceptor martial artists.

So Su Hao started to zigzag, running a bit and then changing direction, repeating this process. However, the nine grand preceptor martial artists behind him were still hot on his heels.

Su Hao understood that the other party must have some way of tracking him. No matter how he changed direction, they could immediately lock onto his position.

He stopped changing directions and instead ran straight ahead. Since the other party could lock onto his position, changing directions wouldn't increase the distance but would make it easier for them to catch up.

While sprinting at full speed, Su Hao analyzed the situation: "The distance is about 1500 meters. What are they using to lock onto my direction? Could it be perception, scent, sound, or some unknown life field?"

Moreover, the full-speed running speed of the nine grand preceptor martial artists was only slightly slower than Su Hao's. He also wasn't sure about their tracking limit, which meant it was unclear how long it would take to completely shake them off.

"My speed is still too slow. I need to research flying runes!"

Su Hao frowned and thought for a moment. He realized that continuing to run like this was not beneficial. He couldn't be sure if there were only these ten people or if there were more waiting ahead.

If he turned back now, he would face the nine grand preceptor-level martial artists, a known risk. But continuing forward might bring unknown risks with potentially more than nine enemies.

He needed to control the risk!

Su Hao decided to turn back and fight head-on!

Grand preceptor martial artists were not invincible.

The only problem was their number. If he got caught in a chaotic battle and surrounded, no matter how strong he was, he would surely fall.

"Then, create conditions for nine one-on-one fights and kill them one by one."

Su Hao's brain worked quickly. He first set basic combat goals, then deduced the combat process, and finally determined the attack order.

"Xiaoguang, target: the nine grand preceptor martial artists behind, index: moving speed, sort."

"Sorting successful."

Su Hao's radar immediately displayed nine numbers from one to nine, with the martial artist marked as number one being the fastest, followed by number two, then three, and so on.

Su Hao's plan was simple.

First, throughout the battle, he must maintain high-speed movement, with no stopping, to avoid being entangled and surrounded.

Second, he would use the long and short knives in his hands to launch surprise full-force attacks, ensuring a one-hit kill.

Finally, he would prioritize the fastest opponents, killing them one by one, so the remaining ones couldn't keep up with his pace.

Su Hao took a deep breath, ran at full speed, drew an arc, changed direction, and charged alone towards the nine pursuers.

A grandmaster vs. nine grand preceptors!

Unstoppable.

Various lights began to glow on Su Hao's armor and helmet. The long knife in his hand emitted a misty rainbow light, blurring its shape. The 'Triple Burst' under his metal boots was ready to fire.

The runes on his weapons and armor were fully activated.

With Xiaoguang's help, he simultaneously drew other runes.

'Ground Spike,' 'Fire Ring,' 'Electric Current,' 'Corrosive Mist,' all in standby.

Over a thousand meters, they met in the blink of an eye.

The martial artist in a water-patterned cloak led the group, running the fastest, with the others following in staggered formation.

He squinted at the fast-charging silver-armored man, waved his hands, and drew a circle: "Disperse and surround him!"

The grand preceptor martial artists behind him immediately scattered to the sides, forming a pocket to trap Su Hao.

"Hey!" Su Hao couldn't help but laugh.

This was exactly what he wanted, fearing only that they would all rush at him, swinging their knives wildly.

So,

Su Hao no longer cared about the others and focused on taking down the water-patterned cloak martial artist first. His eyes locked onto the cloak-wearing martial artist, his speed increasing, his momentum growing.

The leading cloak-wearing martial artist also realized Su Hao's target was him, but he was fearless. The long knife in his hand first dimmed, then glowed with a dull light. 'Hardness' activated, 'Penetration' activated, the armor first dimmed, a red light flashed, 'Hardness' activated, 'Barrier' activated.

Who was he?

He was the renowned "Unscathed Water Pattern Master" of He'an City. His beast pattern was incredibly powerful with 'Healing'. Who was he afraid of?

This short 'passerby' in front of him?

What a joke!!!

Su Hao looked puzzled. The expression of his opponent in front of him gradually became crazy, then perverted. What was wrong with this person?

But it didn't matter to Su Hao. The opponent dared to imitate his rune-made long knife and armor, then use them against him. The outcome was predictable.

In an instant, Su Hao and the cloak-wearing martial artist crossed paths at high speed.

Su Hao's speed didn't decrease at all, heading far away, leaving only a back view.

And, the body of the cloak-wearing martial artist fell to the ground, his head rolling away.

"???" The remaining eight martial artists, ready to attack, were stunned.

Another person stood out, angrily shouting: "Chase!"

Everyone woke up as if from a dream and immediately chased after Su Hao.

They began formulating a plan.

"'Passerby' is very fast, with great long-distance attack ability and strong attack power. Our long knives and armor can't block him, so dodge his attacks."

"Also, don't spread out. Form pairs and cover each other."

"The goal is to slow down 'passerby's speed. Then team 221 will entangle him, giving Old Crane a chance to attack."

Old Crane was a skinny old man, smaller than the others but still taller than Su Hao, looking completely unlike someone with powerful attack ability.

Soon, Su Hao circled back again, his runes recharged.

"He's coming! Dodge carefully, target me, move closer and find an opportunity."

Su Hao quickly approached. Seeing the opponent's formation change, it seemed they had quickly figured out a way to deal with him.

But he was prepared.

"Ground Spike" activated.

As soon as Su Hao's foot touched the ground, the rune effect transmitted into the earth, causing a slight tremor.

"Poof poof poof!"

Sharp earth spikes suddenly burst from the ground within the range of the eight martial artists.

The martial artists sensed something wrong as soon as the ground moved and immediately jumped in all directions, avoiding the dense earth spikes.

Although the spikes didn't hurt anyone, they achieved Su Hao's goal of disrupting their formation.

He approached.

"Triple Burst!"

"Boom!"

Su Hao accelerated instantly, raising his long knife.

The grand preceptor martial artist in front was slightly panicked but didn't lose his composure, slightly slowing down to prepare to block and dodge Su Hao's attack.

Su Hao slashed down with his long knife.

"Clang!"

With a trail of sparks, Su Hao's knife was deflected to one side by the opponent's knife, missing its mark.

But it wasn't over.

"Electric Shock!"

"Zzzzt~"

Electricity flowed through the armor into the opponent's body, causing a momentary paralysis. Su Hao smoothly spun around, and his left-hand short knife swept across the opponent's neck.

"Slash!"

The head flew off, blood spraying.

Su Hao didn't stop, immediately running forward.

Two grand preceptor martial artists blocked his way.

"Fire Ring" activated.

A fierce ring of fire spread out from Su Hao.

Although it didn't cause much damage, its momentum forced the two grand preceptor martial artists to stop and retreat, watching helplessly as Su Hao ran off again.
