18 Desperate Situation_1

County Honour's Mansion.

Li Hong was enjoying a toast with the steward of governmental office.

Suddenly,

He slammed the table, casting his gaze towards Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

"What audacity, this Li Hao dares to break into Zhenyuan Escort Agency to commit murder in the dead of night, completely disregarding my authority."

His eyes were aflame with anger, "It seems that my years of silence have led them to forget my methods!"

"Fifth!"

"Present!"

A man in black instantly appeared before Li Hong.

"Take men to raid Li Hao's home. As for the reason, go grab one from the record room."

"Yes!"

The man in black saluted, then quickly exited the room.

At this time, the steward beside him said: "My lord, what about Jiang Yuan? Shall we send someone to aid him?"

"No need! I've said before, if he wants to be so bouncing around, I can't protect him that much, at most, I can seek revenge for him and reclaim his corpse."

He looked out the window and continued: "Whether he survives Li Hao's hands depends on his abilities! If he likes to be in the spotlight and doesn't even have basic survival skills, then he deserves it!"

"If he genuinely dies at Li Hao's hands, having so many people accompany his death will be enough to demonstrate my benevolence!"

...

Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Gu Mo said, "Take another strike of my sword!"

With his words,

Boom——

The roar of the sword was endless, his figure shot out like a sharp blade.

At this moment, Li Hao also shouted: "You take my stick."

The staff was held high over his head, as if an entire mountain was condensed on the stick.

Jiang Yuan's gaze became serious, his expression somewhat solemn.

Even though he knew that the shadow of the mountain was an illusion, he could not help but feel tense in his heart.

As if he really was lifting a mountain and would smash it down at any moment.

This was the power of those at the Spirit Nurturing level, a significant concentration of mental strength.

Before the move could even take place, they would have to bear the terror of the mental pressure.

This could make one timid before battling and reduce the chances of winning by three points.

The next moment, he heavily swung at Gu Mo.

"Nice one!"

Gu Mo yelled.

In the face of the mountain-like illusion crashing down, his face remained unchanged, with a determined look in his eyes.

The long sword in his hand once again carried countless flashes of brilliance, piercing towards Li Hao's divine power stick.

Boom!

The contact between the two weapons seemed to produce a thunderbolt on the ground.

Li Hao used this force to retreat quickly.

"Jiang Yuan, I'll remember today's feud. I'll return it in the future."

At this moment, he had no desire to fight anymore.

The strength of Gu Mo exceeded his expectations, even if he were alone, he was not fully confident he could defeat him.

With his old age and light injuries from his exchanges with Gu Mo, his state was no longer at its peak.

In this case, plus an unknown factor like Jiang Yuan, he had no confidence at all.

He was well aware of his two disciples' strength.

Although they had recently entered the Body Forging stage, they were by no means easy opponents.

However, they were defeated by Jiang Yuan in a short period.

Even now, he found it hard to believe.

How could Jiang Yuan defeat both of them by himself? Wasn't it said that his talent was extremely mediocre?

Is this called extreme mediocrity?

Facing this situation, how could he dare to fight on?

If Jiang Yuan and Gu Mo were to join forces, he could well meet his end today.

With these thoughts, his fighting spirit dissolved, and he fled quickly.

...

Jiang Yuan's gaze hardened.

"Want to escape!"

Ready to chase after and intercept him,

Just at this moment, Old Ma arrived in haste, he forcefully tossed the heavy sword in his hand towards Jiang Yuan.

"Young master, catch the sword!"

Jiang Yuan reached his right hand into the air, and the colossal sword weighing a thousand pounds was firmly grasped.

This kind of weapon, in the hands of those at the same realm, would be hard to lift.

But Jiang Yuan held the massive sword as if it was nothing, this was the effect of enhanced physical strength!

With the divine weapon in his hands, Jiang Yuan's confidence soared instantly.

"Li Hao, you want to escape, have you asked me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan bent his legs and gave a powerful push.

Boom ——

The blue bricks beneath his feet burst out instantly, propelling him towards Li Hao like a cannonball.

In this leap, Jiang Yuan exerted his full might, his momentum like a thunderbolt.

"Zhenyuan Escort Agency isn't somewhere you can come and go as you please!"

Jiang Yuan, mid-air, raised his heavy sword, assumed the optimal position, and charged at Li Hao.

Seeing this, countless thoughts flash through Li Hao's mind.

Then he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot forcefully, and roared, "Jiang Yuan, since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"

He immediately adjusted his stance, tightly gripped the divine power club riddled with pits and bumps in both hands, and stared at Jiang Yuan intently.

I don't believe it, he hasn't even reached the blood refining stage, how on earth can he be my match!

I'll find out just how capable he is to execute my two disciples so swiftly.

The next moment, he swung his divine power club heavily at the incoming Jiang Yuan.

Boom ——

A sound as shocking as if the sky was rending.

Within several miles, the thunderous roar was clearly audible.

Numerous people looked towards the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in shock.

Someone wondered, "Is the fight that fierce? Is there a spirit cultivator among Zhenyuan Escort Agency who could actually match blows with Li Hao so forcefully?"

Meanwhile.

Inside the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Where the two weapons crossed, a storm sprung from the flat ground.

The invisible energy wave spread in all directions, swirling up countless fallen leaves and petals.

"Wow ——"

Li Hao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was heavily blasted away.

Everywhere he passed was in a state of devastation.

Only when he knocked down a perimeter wall did he finally stop.

Jiang Yuan said with a smile on his face, "Very good! You are the first person that allowed me to exhibit all my strength!"

"How... How is this possible!"

Li Hao managed to get up from the ground, swaying and looking completely disbelieving.

"How can your strength be this terrifying!"

His heart was filled with endless regret.

He had underestimated the opponent!

How dared he!

To catch this strike of his from the sky, especially since he was holding a heavy sword.

If he had dodged, he wouldn't have been injured so heavily.

He could feel that his internal organs were all damaged.

On the other side.

Old Ma watched this scene in astonishment.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me!

Li Hao, the master of the Divine Power Martial Arts Pavilion, a prominent figure at the eighth level of Body Forging.

A top expert at the spirit cultivating level.

He was actually defeated by Young Master in one move.

Just how strong exactly is Young Master!

His mind was filled with confusion.

Jiang Yuan slowly walked towards him.

"Li Hao, do you have any last words?"

"Ha —— haha ——" Li Hao suddenly let out a laugh, "I, Li Hao, have been living a glorious life and even if your father was alive, he could only suppress me slightly."

"Yet today, I am defeated by you. What a tragedy! How ludicrous!"

"I underestimated your strength! Everyone underestimated you! My disciples did not die unjustly!"

"But I did! If I had known you were this strong, how would I have taken this strike from you? If I hadn't taken this strike head-on, your strength would have been only seven or eight thousand pounds. How could you possibly defeat me!"

After speaking, he shook his head.

"Anyway, what's the point of saying so much! Today, I admit that I've fallen into your hands!"

He closed his eyes: "Go ahead!"

At this moment, he seems to have completely given up resistance, waiting for Jiang Yuan to execute him.

However, just when Jiang Ning had moved within 10 meters of him.

He suddenly opened his eyes: "Kill ——"

A furious roar escapes his mouth.

The originally relaxed arms were suddenly bulging with muscles, as he gripped the divine power club and hurled it at Jiang Yuan with all his might.

Boom ——

Several white waves of air spread around like ripples.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan remained expressionless.

All this was just as he expected.

How could a person like Li Hao possibly stoop to be slaughtered.

If he truly did so, he wouldn't have made it this far.

Without ambition, even with decent aptitude, it would be hard for him to achieve what he has.

Let alone the fact that his aptitude is not necessarily that exceptional.
