Shi Hao held his sword horizontally, his expression cold.
He had indeed done so purposely, aiming to assassinate Ma Youfu.
Although he had previously managed to kill two traitors, Yue Junxian and Liu Shixuan, it had no significant impact on the Kuangsha Sect, the mastermind behind the crimes.
——For the Kuangsha Sect, luring a few geniuses away was just icing on the cake.
So, how could Shi Hao possibly be content?
He was the type to return a blow when struck, and not just with a slap for a slap, but with two punches for one. How could he swallow this insult?
Therefore, he deliberately exhausted a great deal of his strength in the fight with Liu Shixuan, feigning a state where he was close to being unable to hold on any longer, to lure Ma Youfu into action.
And the result? The Ninefold Mountain emerged, and Ma Youfu was instantly killed.
