Wu Mengchong dare not make a sound anymore.
Xu Hao had actually become a Grandmaster Level Expert, and his strength was so powerful that he had slain a figure with Grandmaster Strength, the Second Protector of the Wu family, in a single strike!
This was truly terrifying.
At this moment, everyone's heart was filled with extreme fear.
Would Xu Hao resort to killing them?
After all, their attitude towards Xu Hao just now wasn't very good.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xu Hao merely glanced over the people, then looked towards Wu Mengchong and said indifferently, "Wu Mengchong, do you admit defeat?"
Wu Mengchong remained silent.
The Wu family still had two Grandmaster Level Experts, and his grandfather was even a figure at the middle stage of Grandmaster level; how could he submit to Xu Hao?
However, he didn't dare to say it out loud, fearing that Xu Hao, in a bout of anger, would simply finish him off.
But for him, the Young Master Wu, to say "I admit defeat," that was impossible too!
Wu Mengchong was also a man who valued face! Love this story? Show your support on *.
Xu Hao said with a faint smile, "It seems you won't admit it, but I am too lazy to take action against you. After all, you are too weak."
Wu Mengchong's face turned iron blue, his fists clenched tight, yet he still dared not speak.
Wu Mengchong thought back to when every disciple of the families in Huadu used to treat him with respect.
Even the young masters of his arch rivals, the Sun Family, only verbally sparred with him but, when it came down to real action, who wouldn't fear him by three points?
But when Xu Hao burst onto the scene, everything changed!
Not long ago, Young Master Zhou, Zhou Huasheng, had taken a small loss at Xu Hao's hands, and Wu Mengchong had still joked about it. Sun Hanren lost a piece of land to Xu Hao, and he had publicly made fun of Sun Hanren for being useless.
But who could have imagined the tables would turn, and this year it was his family's turn?
Xu Hao simply trampled Sun Hanren beneath his feet ruthlessly, causing Wu Mengchong to lose all face, and the Wu family's reputation suffered a severe blow!
Xu Hao continued, "Go, call your father... no, your father isn't of high enough status; call your grandfather and see if he still wishes to send someone, or come himself to move against me? Or perhaps offer me compensation? I'll give him ten minutes to consider. If he doesn't make a choice, then I will kill one person from the Wu family every minute! After I'm done with those you brought, I'll start killing those from the Cao Family, until Wu Kui makes a decision!"
Wu Mengchong's complexion changed instantly; Xu Hao was blatantly threatening him.
In the past, who would dare threaten him ?
He would have had them chopped up long ago!
With an inexplicable sense of sorrow in his heart, he had no choice but to call Wu Kui.
Being the Young Master Wu, he did have his grandfather's phone number.
On the other end, Wu Kui was revolving his mental method, and the call from Wu Mengchong came through automatically.
Wu Kui, while cultivating, spoke out loud, "Mengchong, how's it going? Have you subdued that kid Xu Hao? With the Second Protector there, there surely won't be any problems..."
He had only spoken this much when Wu Mengchong said with a sobbing tone, "Grandfather, something terrible has happened, Xu Hao has ascended to the Grandmaster realm!"
"What?" Wu Kui was shocked to his core, and his Qi Force nearly went awry.
After reaching the Grandmaster level, one could cultivate while doing other things. However, disturbing news could still cause cultivation to go awry.
But Wu Kui was getting on in years. If he couldn't ascend to a better Martial Sovereign level, his lifespan would at most be around one hundred and twenty years. For his own sake and for the Wu family, he must cultivate even more diligently, seeking to ascend to Martial Sovereign level as soon as possible.
Thus, he practiced with exceptional rigor.
Wu Kui forcibly restored his Qi Force to its normal course before speaking, "How is that possible? It's true that Xu Hao is very close to the Grandmaster level, but he still isn't one. To ascend to the Grandmaster level is extraordinarily difficult. When I ascended to the Grandmaster level, I had to continuously charge for three days and nights, even with my strong foundation!"
"It's true, Grandfather, Xu Hao has really ascended to the Grandmaster level! This is absolutely true; I witnessed his use of Qi Energy Projection!" Wu Mengchong had no choice but to explain.
Hearing his grandson's adamant words, Wu Kui finally confirmed it, Xu Hao had truly become a Grandmaster Level Expert!
He sighed, "I never expected this, never thought his strength would progress so swiftly! Still, the Second Protector is also of Grandmaster Strength, and recently, he showed signs of breaking through to the middle stage of Grandmaster level. With him there, you need not fear. After all, Xu Hao has just ascended and his realm isn't stable yet. His strength can't match the Second Protector's."
However, Wu Mengchong's next words left Wu Kui utterly stunned.
"Grandfather, the Second Protector has been slain by Xu Hao! Moreover, Xu Hao ambushed him from behind and killed him with a single strike!"
Wu Kui instantly lost control of his Qi Force, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out more than three zhang away, splattering against the wall and blooming like a red chrysanthemum.
"Impossible! I may suppress the Second Protector, but killing him would be impossible, how could Xu Hao directly kill him?" Wu Kui's face was full of horror, and he even neglected to wipe away the blood that was dripping from his mouth.
