Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Kill up Martial Venerate Mansion
Shi Hao entered the Imperial Palace and cultivated at the Xuanming Immortal Pond, Duan Jinghong was aware of this.
Even as a Martial Venerable, he had to maintain considerable respect for the Royal Family. After all, although others were unaware, he knew very well that behind the Chu Family was the White Cloud Sect’s Fifth Elder, an existence he was utterly unable to contend with.
Therefore, his threat to Shi Hao had become a great humiliation.
—How could Shi Hao possibly come kneel and beg for death within three days?
Although not many people knew about this incident, the entire Martial Honor Lineage was extremely angry.
This brat was too despicable, deliberately causing the Martial Venerable to lose face.
So, even though Duan Jinghong said nothing, his disciples came to trouble the fatty every day.
Fortunately, the fatty was quite strong. He was already at the primary level peak of Martial Sect and had cultivated the Tyrant Body Technique. His physique was extraordinarily formidable, allowing him to arm-wrestle opponents a whole rank higher.
He had taken a beating, but he hadn’t been without retaliation, so it wasn’t too much of a loss.
Now, with the ten-day deadline expired, Shi Hao had finally returned, and it was time to face the music.
“Shi Hao, come with us,” Zhao Guilai said indifferently, believing that Shi Hao was as good as dead already.
Shi Hao replied with a slight smile, “Of course, I will visit the Duan Mansion, but not while being pushed around by you.”
“Ha ha, how else do you want to go? As a corpse to be carried there?” Li Lei thought he had made a joke as he laughed uproariously and added, “Humph, a corpse is not even worthy of entering our Martial Venerate Mansion.”
Shi Hao shook his head. “Wrong, I’ll slaughter you two first, then go kill Duan Jinghong, and after that, I’ll dismantle that so-called Martial Venerate Mansion.”
“To be called a Venerable without any generosity, do you even deserve the title of ‘Venerable’?”
Hearing such a bold assessment, Li Lei and Zhao Guilai were both horrified.
To openly slander a pillar of the nation, how could he not deserve a thousand deaths?
“Seeking death!” Both of them shouted in unison.
Outside, due to the commotion over the past few days, each day had drawn a large crowd of onlookers, and today was no exception. Over twenty people outside were watching. Hearing Shi Hao’s words, they were also shocked to their core.
This youngster’s words were truly alarming.
“Fourth Brother, let’s take down this madman!” Li Lei said to Zhao Guilai.
“Good!” Zhao Guilai nodded with a frosty face.
He knew that Shi Hao was likely a Martial Sect, but at such a young age, he was definitely at the primary level, while he himself was an intermediate Martial Sect, the gap was obvious.
—Even if Shi Hao had cultivated in the Xuanming Immortal Pond, how much could he have possibly improved?
The Chu Family had always possessed this cultivation treasure, yet it wasn’t as if the Chu Family was producing super geniuses every other day.
So, even if Shi Hao had made progress, it would surely be limited.
After all, at the stage of Martial Sect, each small realm advance required strength measured in tens of thousands of pounds.
A fight was about to happen, and the spectators were very pleased; they had been waiting for so long not just to see Shi Hao and the others exchange verbal blows.
“Stone, let’s go too!” The fatty rolled up his sleeves, showing off his eager combat readiness.
“Alright,” Shi Hao said with a smile.
The two also stepped forward to meet Li Lei and Zhao Guilai.
It wasn’t until the two sides were only thirty feet apart that Li Lei was the first to attack, charging at Shi Hao.
He knew he was no match for Shi Hao, and not for the fatty either, but what of it?
With an intermediate Martial Sect in place, what couldn’t be handled?
He charged over, with no way back.
Shi Hao reached out and grabbed one of Li Lei’s hands, then hoisted him up, using him as a club to smash toward Zhao Guilai.
The speed of this strike was incredibly fast, how could Zhao Guilai possibly dodge it?
Instinctively, Zhao Guilai could only protect his front with both hands.
Li Lei smashed through, his head striking against Zhao Guilai’s hands.
In the human skeleton, the skull is the hardest, so under such a direct collision, Zhao Guilai’s hand bones instantly broke, and Li Lei, this humanoid weapon, continued his relentless assault, going forth with a thud against Zhao Guilai’s waist.
A terrifying scene unfolded; his entire head had actually completely sunk into Zhao Guilai’s abdomen!
Zhao Guilai’s waist was already twisted at a grotesque angle; his spine was definitely broken, and his entire body was bent at a right angle.
As a martial artist with a resilient nature, he didn’t die right away; his limbs were twitching, and he was continuously spitting fresh blood from his mouth, his face filled with a bewildered expression.
He was a Primary Level Martial Sect, yet he couldn’t even take a single move from Shi Hao.
How is this possible! How is this possible!
In such unwillingness, his twitching grew weaker and weaker.
Li Lei was no better off; although his head was hard, it couldn’t withstand such a ferocious collision and had shattered, his body convulsing violently as well.
After a while, both men stopped moving.
Around them, a chorus of gasps filled the air.
These were the disciples of Martial Venerable, just like that, they were dead?
This young man is so strong!
But no matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Martial Venerable?
Alas, too hot-headed; it won’t be long before he follows in these two men’s footsteps.
“Stone, we said we’d fight together. Where’s my opponent?” The fatty’s face was full of a grievous expression; he wanted to fight someone too.
Shi Hao smiled, “You’ll have your chance.”
He looked ahead: “Let’s go to the Martial Venerate Mansion!”
“Stone, you really want to do something big?” The fatty jumped in fright, previously thinking Shi Hao was just joking around.
“Alright!” The fatty was also determined, showing a vigorous fighting spirit.
The two set off toward the Martial Venerate Mansion.
“Hey, hey, hey, they’re not running away!”
“They’re going to the Martial Venerate Mansion?”
“Let’s go. Let’s go see the excitement.”
Some of these people directly followed, some went to call their friends to join them at the Martial Venerate Mansion to watch the excitement, and some were too timid and had already gone to report to the authorities; in any case, it was bustling with activity.
The Imperial Capital is vast, and the Martial Venerate Mansion was far from where they were, so after walking for almost half an hour, they finally arrived at the Martial Venerate Mansion.
“Hmph, Martial Venerable indeed!” Shi Hao scorned inwardly; how was Duan Jinghong, with his character, worthy of the title “Martial Venerable”?
Could a true Venerable be someone of such petty nature?
He walked straight towards the main gate, his face bearing a chilling murderous intent.
“Stop right there!” Naturally, there were guards at the gate, and seeing Shi Hao coming directly, they immediately drew their swords and shouted angrily.
This was the Martial Venerate Mansion, after all!
With one kick from Shi Hao, the guard was sent flying.
Leaping up with a bound, he rose two zhang high, reaching the plaque hanging high on the gate of the Martial Venerate Mansion, and then kicked out with his foot.
Crack; the gilded plaque immediately shattered into pieces and fell scattered.
Crash, crash, crash; as the gatekeeper hit the ground, coincidentally, the plaque also fell, landing around him.
The crowd around was completely dumbfounded.
