At that moment, Tu Yilong slowly came to, waking from his unconscious state.
He felt his body briefly and his face changed dramatically.
"Where has my Qi Force gone?"
He said in a panic, and suddenly realized something even more despairing: "Why can't I feel my Meridians? Could it be..."
He collapsed in an instant, tears streaming down his face as if they cost him nothing.
However, he suddenly wiped away his tears, staring icily at Xu Hao as the rage in his eyes blazed furiously: "Xu Hao, you really dared to destroy my Meridians and ruined my cultivation! Your heart is so vicious! Why didn't you just kill me?!"
Xu Hao said indifferently, "If you had only targeted me, then I would have just broken one of your arms as a punishment. But you were rude, and even dared to covet a woman of mine, so don't blame me for being merciless and cutting off future trouble. Not killing you was mercy enough."
At that moment, Anna was moved to tears, crying even harder than Tu Yilong. Between sobs, she said, "Brother has been so good to me, when I grow up I must marry him, I will serve him well..."
Chen Suyi's expression was complex, unsure if "Xu Hao's woman" included her.
But she thought it probably did, after all, protecting her was also Xu Hao's duty!
Yet even with a touch of emotion in her heart, Chen Suyi still kept a straight face, not allowing her feelings to show.
Chen Hai, seeing his daughter's behavior, felt an urge to laugh. As Chen Suyi's father, who had watched her grow up, how could he not know what was in her heart?
But he chose not to expose it; Xu Hao's own power was not yet truly established, and currently, outside forces were bound to attack, because Xu Hao's rise would have made the established powers unhappy.
Being by Xu Hao's side was bound to bring danger, so Chen Hai was not eager for his daughter to take such big risks at this time.
Tu Yilong sneered, "Throughout history, those who have achieved great things have never sweated the small stuff! You Xu Hao, on the other hand, indulge in the affection between men and women, and sooner or later, you will die because of a woman!"
Xu Hao was unbothered, smiling, "Your thinking is too narrow. Being kind and loyal is ultimately better than being cold and heartless. But what's the use of talking about this now? You've become a cripple already."
Stung once more by Xu Hao's words, Tu Yilong's expression turned ferocious as he roared: "All these misfortunes are thanks to you! Xu Hao, you could never imagine that despite my Meridians being completely severed and my cultivation lost, I still have hope to reconstruct my Meridians, and even become stronger, could you?!" A*l&w@ay@s% rea@d+ f%rom the s^o!u^rc$e+:# *%.+
Xu Hao was momentarily surprised, and even the elder, Tu Yilong's Seventh Grandfather, was astonished, looking at Tu Yilong with puzzlement.
However, Tu Yilong did not offer any explanation but simply sneered: "Seventh Grandfather, take me away. The Wu Family will protect my departure! Xu Hao, in three months... maybe even less than three months, I will battle you again! Then, your end will come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Mengchong, Wu Yong, Wu Kui, and the rest of the Wu Family rushed over, immediately shielding Tu Yilong and his grandson in the middle.
Tu Yilong had already suffered immense damage in Huadu; if Xu Hao publicly killed him now, the Wu Family would bear an even greater stigma.
Originally, the Wu Family, upon hearing that Tu Yilong still had a way to restore his original Meridians and even become stronger, were ecstatic inside. If true, the Wu Family wouldn't have to bear much responsibility at all.
But precisely because of this, they feared Xu Hao might fully eliminate Tu Yilong to prevent future trouble. So even without Tu Yilong's orders, they would've done the same.
Xu Hao, seeing their anxious looks, immediately laughed, "Do you think I would take a loser's threat seriously? In three months, I might even be close to becoming Martial Honor."
"Hmph! Such ignorance, the ultimate battle has not ended, the Great Era hasn't begun, and nobody can become Martial Honor!" Tu Yilong said disdainfully.
Xu Hao sneered, "Then I'll try to see if I can become Martial Honor before the start of this so-called Great Era you speak of!"
"Hmph! Arrogant fool, you're far from a true genius!"
Tu Yilong's face was full of scorn, "Don't think I don't know why your left hand is so tough, isn't it because you fused with a Divine Object? I even know the name of that object! You really think the whole world is full of fools, don't you? Don't worry, I won't spread this news, because I want to kill you with my own hands, then take your Divine Object and make use of it!"
Xu Hao's heart grew cautious; he didn't expect Tu Yilong to recognize the Immortal Bone, which was indeed beyond his expectations. Perhaps he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
