Chapter 346: Joining the Silver Moon Guards (I)

Within the plaza.

Li Hao took a step forward, looking around with a lilt of his head that was the height of arrogance!

Of course, that wasn’t his true attitude. No matter why Hou Xiaochen wanted him to join the Silver Moon Guards, he simply didn’t want to bow his head in a place that was filled solely with martial masters. His teacher was Old Demon Yuan Shuo!

Having defeated the heir of Mountain Ax with two punches, his blood frothed and the tiger aura manifested.

“Director Hou wants me to join the Guards, but I don’t really want to!” Li Hao announced. “I think none of you can compare to the martial masters of the glory days, so I don’t see the need to join you! If I am to fight and vie for glory, I will do so against the old guard!

“Some of them have gone to the central region, some have become supernatural. I once saw the late Solar Qimei Staff King. Although he’s no longer a martial master, I feel that he still had the heart of a martial master!

“It would be happiness incarnate to fight with such martial masters!

“I visited Senior Southern Fist He Yong at noon, wanting to spar with him. He refused as either I would kill him, or he would kill me. He did not want a fight to the death because he wanted to battle my teacher! I find it a regret that such a martial master is not willing to battle me. It is my regret!”

Li Hao looked around him. “I know that the older generation thinks little of us, that we are young and far less than their era despite decent strength. Even when their strength reached Dominator, they were held at Sunderer!

“Therefore, I am very happy to sense your enmity and battle intent. I feel that while the old guard thinks nothing of me, if I can sweep the Silver Moon Guards, I can add you to my list of accomplishments!

“When someone asks me what feats have I achieved in battle, I can answer that I single-handedly defeated the entire Silver Moon Guards—the Guards that have people shaking in their boots!”

Killing intent soared into the air after he finished speaking. A woman dressed in a black combat outfit jumped out.

“Li Hao, do you think you can make a clean sweep of us?” she asked frostily.

“I think I can!” The young man nodded with a smile. “Not only can I do that, but I don’t think there’s anyone here who can take ten moves from me. None of you can!”

“Xie Lan of the Jade Sword Sect! Please show me your skill!” shouted the woman as she swung her sword!

Li Hao was blatantly humiliating all of them—not just one or two of them, but every person in the Guards. His defeat of Mountain Ax’s heir allowed everyone to understand that he was strong. Martial masters, however, never admitted defeat. Even when they knew full well that they did not measure up to the enemy, they still refused to concede that they were inferior.

Pfft!

The sword pierced through the air; a flash of arctic sword light illuminated all directions. The martial masters were nervous. Li Hao had defeated Chen Jin as soon as he arrived—they dearly wished for Xia Lan of the Jade Sword Sect to find victory.

The young man swiftly moved forward with a majestic gait. He leapt into the air and stomped down, shoving the longsword beneath the ground with a thunderous step!

Xie Lan’s fingers nearly split from her hand. She wanted to control her weapon, but found it impossible to shift.

Li Hao punched out with Tiger Roar Through Mountain and Woods, his momentum was undeniable!

Too strong!

A dismayed Xie Lan hastily backed away, but Li Hao flung himself forward with Birdshot! He broke through the air and instantly appeared in front of his opponent. Xie Lan quickly kicked out, but the young man’s fist was already in motion!

Bam!

Xie Lan flew through the air, her right leg curled in on itself. She shrieked with grim determination and forced herself to boomerang back as she was thrown backward. With hand as sword, she pointed at Li Hao’s head!

The young man opened his mouth. “ROAR!!” Tiger Roar Through Mountain and Woods!

Li Hao was the tiger as its roars reverberated through the land. Internal force erupted and his mind intent was on full display. Xie Lan’s sword qi didn’t even touch Li Hao before he grasped it with a hand.

Crunch!

It was intangible sword qi made of internal force, but it sounded like metal fracturing when the young man closed his hand. The internal force exploded as Li Hao crushed it! Tiger roars continue to echo through the void after the sword qi crumbled away. As Xie Lan reeled with dizziness, the young man punched again!

Bam!

Xie Lan went flying, blood spewing from her mouth. She crashed right beside Chen Jin when she landed, smashing the man flat just as he was about to struggle to his feet!

Two out of nine centurions had swiftly tasted defeat without even a chance to fight back! The rest exchanged shocked looks.

“I said that one person isn’t enough and that all of you should come together, but you insisted on being prideful instead,” Li Hao said coldly. “Martial masters like to fight solo, but that’s predicated by a foundation of equal strength! All of you are too weak and are just coming to your individual deaths. If it wasn’t for my lack of desire to kill you and the obvious gap between our abilities, all of you would be dead!”

This was no longer face slapping, it was face shitting! Three people jumped out in response. They were all male—one wielded the blade, another the spear, and the last bare hands. His palms were black as all of his skill was concentrated in the hand.

“Zhang Yang of the Five Tiger Broken Blade Sect!”

“Wu Yue of the Heartsmasher Palm!”

“Luo Qizhao of the Luo Spear!”

“Please show us your skill!”

The spear flashed forward like a blood dragon howling with overwhelming killing intent. Tigers roared their outrage when Zhang Yang swung his blade. Wu Yue sent a soundless palm toward Li Hao. The three respectively targeted the young man’s throat, heart, and head. Three Dominators flared their mind intent and locked onto Li Hao, as domineering as the gods!

The martial masters watching were holding their breaths, deeply afraid to miss a single scene. It was exceedingly rare to see three Dominators—three centurions—jointly attack an enemy. Two centurions had fought a Solar before, and their centurions had won!

The Dominators of the Silver Moon Guards were not weak. Two centurions working in conjunction could defeat some Solars—of course, just initial Solars, but that was already impressive enough. That the three were working in tandem meant that they thought Li Hao was stronger than the regular initial Solar.

......

Within the plaza.

Li Hao remained unmoved as the spear stabbed at him. His right hand flashed out and grabbed the spear; the young man roared and yanked on the spear so hard that the heir of the Luos stumbled.

He’s terrifying! Luo Qizhao’s eyes went wide. He shook his spear—vibrate!

Internal force surged, shaking the weapon. However, Li Hao’s response was to throw the weapon out. Luo Qizhao could barely control his weapon from stabbing into Wu Yue’s palm. Just as Li Hao flung the spear with his right hand, he clenched his left hand into a fist and raised it in a punch!

Clang!

Zhang Yang’s blade was sent off course from Li Hao’s head. The young man twisted to the side to evade the rest of the swing. He pushed off from the ground and hovered in the air like an ape for a split second. With a flash, he vanished before his opponents.

“Be careful!” exclaimed Zhang Yang. Wu Yue’s expression also shifted and he wanted to dodge, but felt pressure around his neck. Li Hao had descended from the sky like a monkey and wrapped both legs around his neck.

Crunch!

His spine cracked; Wu Yue thrust his palm at Li Hao without another word. The young man tightened his legs around his opponent’s neck and suddenly swung upside down, punching the backs of Wu Yue’s legs!

Bam!

Wu Yue sank to his knees, in too much pain to continue standing!

Li Hao adroitly jumped down and pushed off his right leg, bounding up like a monkey flying through the air. Flicking the leg forward, he punted the kneeling man!

Bam!

Wu Yue crashed to the ground. A long spear stabbed at Li Hao’s waist sans disturbance or mighty roar, just ruthless determination!

The young man snorted and grabbed it with his hand, running his grip along it like a little snake climbing a branch and drawing near to the heir of the Luos. Li Hao suddenly reached out with both arms and lifted the other in a bear hug. He was as if a bear hugging a tree to rip it up by the roots. The young man raised the heir of the Luos up and smashed him down onto the ground!

Boom!

A humongous crater appeared in the ground. Li Hao had a death lock on the heir of the Luos; the man couldn’t move. Thanks to the tremendous impact, Luo Qizhao was slammed straight into the ground.

The bear style!

The young man had demonstrated the tiger, bear, bird, and ape styles in short succession... Other than the lightness of the deer style, he’d fully displayed everything at his command. The deer style focused on lightening the body and was more often used to escape. He didn’t need that for now.

The newcomer had swiftly defeated his opponents in the blink of an eye. Luo Qizhao and Wu Yue were quickly rebuffed, leaving the bladesman to look around in dismay. Three powerhouses had teamed together for joint effort, but one was below the ground and the other sent flying. This was astounding!

“Kill!” He raised his blade and rushed Li Hao.

The young man punched again, it was like the waves were upon them. Seven layers of massive waves churned through the area, visible to the rest of the crowd.

Rumble! A wave reared to the sky. Clang!

The enormous blade broke in a shower of fiery sparks! Zhang Yang’s hand fractured and blood sprayed in all directions. He stared incredulously at the punch. Was that... the Nine Forged Force?

Silver Spear’s Nine Forged Force was very famous. The name had just floated into his mind when a punch emblazoned itself onto his chest.

Wham! Bang!

Zhang Yang flew backward; this punch was noticeably stronger than the rest. His chest caved in!

Defeat! Three Dominators working in tandem had only lasted moments before being thoroughly defeated!
