Chapter 150: Battle of the Four Foundations
Chapter 150: Battle of the Four Foundations
Behind Song Qiumo, Li Hao and Old Feng also appeared.
Upon hearing the old man in the Daoist robe, Li Hao immediately understood that this elder was the Dragon Lord from the Dragon Mountain Daoist Ground.
"Hmph, I had expected you might hide in the shadows, luring us here, but I didn't think you'd hold out this long. Was it worth it, just for this human boy?"
The Golden-Haired Sturdy Elder's eyes were cold. He had come to find the Dragon Lord precisely to deal with such unexpected situations.
Song Qiumo said calmly, "No matter how patient I am, I can't match your patience. Your own son died, yet you could still wait half a year before showing up. Are you that afraid of me, or do you have so many sons that one doesn't matter?"
"Afraid of you? You don’t deserve it!"
The Myriad Mountains Demon King immediately roared, a sound like a lion's, shaking the heavens and causing the snow on nearby mountains to collapse.
This divine might was enough to make anyone below the Fourth Establishment Realm tremble, but in the scene, Li Hao and Little White Fox were the only ones left. Little White Fox had been secretly placed outside the camp when Li Hao returned. As for Li Hao, he felt no fear from the oncoming threat, only a slight ringing in his ears.
"Why so many words? What are you still afraid of? Worried we have more traps?"
Li Hao said, "Don't worry, we have no traps. The others have already left. It's just the three of us here."
The Golden-Haired Sturdy Elder's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at Li Hao, his eyes almost bulging out. But Li Hao's words made the enraged Demon King hold back, slightly calming down.
The more Li Hao said this, the more uncomfortable the Demon King felt.
"Trying to scare me? I've lived for ten thousand years, and you? You’re not even a fraction of my age. You think you can scare me?!"
The Golden-Haired Sturdy Elder growled.
Li Hao smiled inwardly at the Demon King's words, knowing that he was already wary.
He deliberately spoke this way, using a bluff, because he had anticipated that this old Demon King had delayed avenging his son due to his suspicious and cautious nature.
Cautiousness inevitably led to suspicion and hesitation.
Even if the Demon King still attacked, this suspicion would make him more cautious, providing some advantage in their battle.
Without responding to the old Demon King, Li Hao instead turned to the Dragon Lord and smiled confidently:
"So, you must be the Dragon Lord. I've heard much about you. Now that the three of you have invaded, if we don't die today and one of us escapes, the Great Yu Divine Dynasty will pursue you without end!"
"Is it worth it?"
The old man in the Daoist robe glanced at Li Hao. Li Hao had withdrawn his Omni Attributes, revealing his Tian Ren Master Realm aura.
Seeing Li Hao's realm and combining it with the intelligence he had, the Dragon Lord felt a mix of surprise and gravity.
Killing that Young Demon King at the Heavenly Being Realm, when he first heard the news, he was not only shocked but secretly pleased. That night, he slept well and even had a good dream.
Why?
That Young Demon King was too monstrous. If he had grown up and allied with the Myriad Mountains Demon King, the area beyond Heavenly Gate Pass would be under the Demon King's control.
Though he and the Myriad Mountains Demon King had once had a bit of a relationship.
But relationships are one thing, and family is another. Your son's death doesn't stop me from being happy.
Therefore, the Dragon Lord had quite a favorable impression of this human youth, but this goodwill did not stop him from accepting the benefits offered by the Myriad Mountains Demon King and coming here to kill the young man.
"As long as you all die here today, there will be no news to spread", the Dragon Lord said calmly.
Li Hao chuckled and replied, "Are you really that confident? Killing me might not be difficult, but if the two beside me are determined to escape, can you really stop them?"
The Dragon Lord sneered but did not answer. He had already prepared for the Great Yu Divine Dynasty to issue a warrant for his arrest.
"Although I don't know what benefits he promised you, I can offer you some as well."
Li Hao did not hesitate to speak openly in front of the Myriad Mountains Demon King, directly using benefits to tempt the Dragon Lord. "If you join us and help us kill this Myriad Mountains Demon King, his territory will be yours. Moreover, the act of crossing the border today won't count as a border violation; it will be seen as your righteous action to assist us."
"In addition, you will receive a Command Token from the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, be granted military merit, and be allowed to enter our territory at will."
"Furthermore, I will personally offer you some assistance. You know my talent, which has earned the favor of the emperor. I have a bright future ahead. If you agree, you will be my brother from now on!"
"Do you think such petty tricks can influence us?" the Myriad Mountains Demon King sneered, but he was seething with anger inside.
The Dragon Lord gave Li Hao a long, deep look and said calmly, "What you offer is tempting, but unfortunately, such tricks are too childish. I have lived for over ten thousand years, and we have known each other for thousands of years. You can't imagine the depth of our friendship. This is my brother!"
"I can offer more money."
Li Hao smiled and said, "Just tell me what you need."
"Hmph, don't waste your effort."
The Dragon Lord sneered slightly and said to the Myriad Mountains Demon King, "I'll take care of that Water Qilin. As for this young man, leave him to you, my old friend."
The Myriad Mountains Demon King nodded and stared at Li Hao, about to speak, but then he saw Li Hao give a subtle nod to the Dragon Lord.
His expression changed slightly, and he glanced at the Dragon Lord.
The Dragon Lord, seeing Li Hao's signal, was puzzled. He had not received any telepathic message from Li Hao.
Only when he saw the Myriad Mountains Demon King's gaze did he realize what was happening. He immediately said in a solemn tone, "Old friend, this young man is cunning and devious. Don't let him talk any more. I promised you, and I won't go back on my word!"
The Myriad Mountains Demon King looked at him for a moment and nodded slightly, but despite his words, he felt extremely uneasy. He no longer dared to trust the Dragon Lord completely.
Their relationship was primarily based on mutual benefit, not true familiarity.
He took a deep breath, knowing that Li Hao's few words had already made him wary and cautious, falling into the young man's trap. He was even more enraged, wishing he could tear Li Hao to pieces.
"I'll leave this human lackey of a Qilin to you", the Myriad Mountains Demon King said, trying to split the battlefield.
The Dragon Lord also realized the impact of Li Hao's words. He sighed inwardly and secretly admired the human youth's cunning. Besides his extraordinary talent, he was also as deceitful as a demon.
"Fine!"
He agreed, knowing that further discussion was pointless. He could only prove himself through action.
Song Qiumo whispered to Li Hao, "Should I lure him away or stay here?"
She was worried that during the battle, the opponent might suddenly attack Li Hao or use him as a target, making Li Hao her weakness and forcing her to constantly defend him, which could leave her vulnerable.
"Divert them." Li Hao sent a mental message back.
Song Qiumo nodded slightly and said to the Dragon Lord, "Let's finish our previous fight outside."
"Exactly what I wanted." The Dragon Lord sneered, turning to fly out.
Song Qiumo followed immediately.
Seeing them leave, the Myriad Mountains Demon King secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then sneered at Li Hao, "Boy, you're dead now!!"
He didn't give Li Hao a chance to speak, and launched a fierce attack as soon as he finished his sentence.
"Do you think we're alone here?" Li Hao quickly retorted.
The Myriad Mountains Demon King laughed loudly, "The more you say that, the more you're just trying to intimidate me!"
He attacked viciously, aiming to kill Li Hao.
Feng Boping stepped forward, blocking in front of Li Hao and raising his hand to release a green light that deflected the Myriad Mountains Demon King's attack.
Li Hao, meanwhile, flew to the side to avoid distracting Old Feng.
"Go and kill him!"
The Myriad Mountains Demon King had the same idea and said to the black-robed man beside him.
The black-robed man's eyes were cold and ruthless. As soon as Li Hao retreated, his body suddenly flashed, appearing in front of Li Hao as if he had vanished instantly.
Li Hao's pupils constricted, but he was prepared.
If this had happened earlier, he wouldn't have been able to detect such a Fourth Establishment Realm teleportation technique. However, with the Immortal Qi in his body, he could now sense the attack's vibrations.
Old Feng had said that Dao Mind Realm attacks were unavoidable.
The black-robed man used his body as the attack, targeting the air in front of Li Hao. Since the air was thin and offered no resistance, he could easily hit it, thus teleporting to that spot.
This was the principle of Fourth Establishment Realm teleportation.
The reason he didn't set the attack's anchor point directly on Li Hao was that the farther away the target and the stronger the target, the weaker the attack would be, as teleportation had a distance limit.
Thus, getting closer first and then launching a full-power attack at close range was the best way to ensure a fatal blow.
But Li Hao had anticipated all of this.
In front of him, there were numerous Hidden Threads and a large fishhook.
When the black-robed man teleported in with his rage, the Hidden Threads immediately sprang out, entangling him, while the fishhook latched onto his chest ribs.
"Huh?!"
The black-robed man hadn't expected his teleportation to be countered by this young man. The pain in his chest made him pause, and then even more intense killing intent surged within him.
He suddenly slapped out, his palm like an eagle's claw, tearing the space in front of Li Hao into dark shadows.
This attack followed the path of Dao and was certain to hit.
Li Hao's reaction was extremely quick. The moment he left Old Feng's side, he had already activated the Seven Stars Lighting the Lamp effect.
The Immortal Qi within him doubled, and then the Yin-Yang Dual Meridians surged, making the Immortal Qi even more abundant.
From one mouthful, it became three.
Like three silver dragons swirling within him, the Immortal Qi gathered and dispersed at his will, all in an instant.
As the Immortal Qi spread through his pores and merged with the heavens and earth, Li Hao felt a deep connection with the entire world.
His body was no longer a small boat in the vast sea but had transformed into a wave, rising and falling with the tides.
As the opponent's attack tore through, Li Hao also drew his sword, the Dragon Dawn Sword, and slashed out with the might of the heavens, a roar like a dragon's bellow echoing through the air.
