Xu Hao watched the curved blade coming ever closer, his expression unchanged, his hand striking out like lightning to slap the back of the imitation Demon Blade.
A low resonance suddenly erupted, and Wang Zihao's right hand fiercely grabbed, completely neutralizing the force Xu Hao had applied to it, then he withdrew, retreating with a cold laugh, "Not bad! Your strength is indeed that of a middle stage Grandmaster level, my master was right!"
Middle stage Grandmaster level?!
Xu Hao was actually a middle stage Grandmaster level?
Everyone was shocked. Wasn't Xu Hao an early stage Grandmaster expert? How did he suddenly become a middle stage Grandmaster?
What exactly was going on?
Many were perplexed, only a few like Wu Kui could vaguely understand the situation.
Wang Zihao sneered, "You fools actually thought he was only an early stage Grandmaster? Even though Tu Yilong is utterly worthless, he is still the Third Young Master of the Tu family, his strength at the peak of the early stage Grandmaster level. Yet, he was taken down by Xu Hao in a single exchange, doesn't that clarify things? Xu Hao has clearly been a middle stage Grandmaster level expert all along, just hiding his strength and keeping you all in the dark. Truly a bunch of fools!"
Wang Zihao openly insulted everyone, causing Wu Kui and others' faces to turn extremely unsightly.
Even Tu Yilong hadn't realized Xu Hao was a middle stage Grandmaster level expert, yet Wang Zihao did, did this mean Wang Zihao was more powerful than Tu Yilong?
Wu Kui pondered for a moment, then thickened his skin to say, "Wang Zihao, how confident are you in taking down Xu Hao?"
Wang Zihao raised his brow, snorting coldly, "Are you looking down on me? Just Xu Hao alone, last time I was defeated due to underestimating him. But this time, armed with the third-rank top grade Replica Demon Blade personally given by my master, with my strength also reaching the middle stage of Grandmaster level, how could I lose to him?"
Hearing Wang Zihao claim to also be at the middle stages of Grandmaster level, Wu Kui's face instantly lit up with joy, saying, "That's wonderful! I am also a Grandmaster at the middle stage, and although my strength may not be as good as yours, I can still play a crucial role. How about we join forces to completely eliminate Xu Hao and eradicate future troubles?"
Wang Zihao pondered briefly before replying, "Good!"
Since he could defeat Xu Hao, he didn't care about the means used.
He had never been a man of the righteous path, so he would never use honorable methods; as long as he could achieve his goal, he would stop at nothing.
Qian Jiuyue's expression changed instantly, Wu Kui had just made a suggestion without taking action, and he thought it was just talk.
But now, Wu Kui was actually preparing to really join hands with Wang Zihao against Xu Hao!
Two middle stage Grandmaster level experts joining forces against Xu Hao, even if Xu Hao himself was a middle stage Grandmaster expert, he would still feel immense pressure, and might even be left battered by their combined assault.
Qian Jiuyue promptly said, "Wu Kui, don't be led astray! Wang Zihao is the Demonic Blade Successor of this generation!"
Wu Kui snorted coldly, "Hmph! You haven't been harmed by that beast Xu Hao, so you don't suffer, but my Wu Family has had so many people directly or indirectly harmed by Xu Hao. How could I miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to deal with him? Besides, I won't kill him, just cripple him a bit."
Wang Zihao laughed, "Even better, I want him to watch with his own eyes as I take away all his properties and women! I want him to see me take everything from him! Xu Hao, you dared to drive the Wang family members out of Jing'an City, then I'll return the favor. When they come back, each one will step on you!"
For a prominent middle stage Grandmaster expert to be stepped on, that would be the ultimate humiliation.
Qian Jiuyue and Sun Zai'an exchanged glances, then stepped forward, saying loudly, "Wu Kui, if you continue down this mistaken path, don't blame us for stepping in! We may not be able to beat you, but to hold you off for a quarter of an hour, that should be enough. By that time, perhaps Young Master Xu will have already dealt with Wang Zihao."
The two had utmost confidence in Xu Hao's strength.
They had no idea when Xu Hao advanced to the middle stage of Grandmaster level, but they were sure, he was definitely earlier than Wang Zihao and wouldn't be afraid of him.

However, Wu Kui sneered, "Hmph! I knew you'd pull something , lucky for me I was prepared. Chief Protectors of the Wu Family, come out!"
At Wu Kui's command, nine figures clad in black tight-fitting gear emerged from the backside of the mountain.
It appeared that those men were all hiding behind the mountains earlier, and no one had noticed!
Xu Hao's eyes flickered slightly. This was where the Wu family's confidence lay.
Eighteen Chief Protectors, eight of whom had been slain by him at the hotel, and the Second Protector was killed by him in a single strike.
An early stage Grandmaster level expert, three half-step Grandmasters, and five at the Great Perfection Mastery Level!
Such a lineup was invincible anywhere in Huadu!
Upon seeing these nine Chief Protectors of the Wu family, the expressions of Qian Jiuyue and others changed once again.
The Wu family had actually hidden eight experts and an early stage Grandmaster expert quietly behind the mountain, and no one had discovered them—they must have used some sort of concealment technique, otherwise, they couldn't have escaped the detection of the several Grandmaster experts present.
