Chapter 58: Slaying the Black Dragon Thirty Miles Away
Chapter 58: Slaying the Black Dragon Thirty Miles Away
"He, he, he..."
Yu Wei, ignoring the tea splattered over the snack plate, pointed at the spot where Li Hao had disappeared, his eyes nearly bulging out as he stammered.
"Gone, gone?!"
Du Qiuyue was also startled, jumping to her feet with a look of shock. "Where did he go?"
Beside them, Ren Qianqian was stunned. Her gaze swept around the area, searching meticulously, but she found no trace of Li Hao, not even a footprint.
In the blink of an eye, he had vanished right before their eyes.
Clearly, unless it was some kind of illusion she had never heard of, Li Hao's movement speed must have been so fast that it exceeded her ability to track him.
If he were to attack with such speed... Her pupils constricted, and her fingers tightened around the scabbard of her sword with more force.
"He, he, this, this..."
Yu Wei turned to Li Yuanzhao, gesturing wildly, completely flustered.
"Yuanzhao, what kind of cultivation does your Hao Ge have?" Du Qiuyue, slightly recovered, couldn't help but ask Li Yuanzhao.
Li Yuanzhao was equally stunned. In their daily interactions, Hao Ge had never shown such a skill.
What cultivation? Hao Ge was supposed to be on the Body Cultivation path, which Mother said had a low ceiling, barely reaching the Zhou Tian Realm, and even reaching the Soul Succession Realm was difficult.
Could it be that Hao Ge has reached the Soul Continuation Realm?!
Li Yuanzhao's heart raced. He wasn't ignorant; if Hao Ge had reached the Soul Succession Realm, it would mean he could channel the energies of heaven and earth, indicating that his meridians were now unblocked!
Hao Ge can cultivate now!!
The thought of this possibility made Li Yuanzhao's hand, resting on the table, tremble with excitement.
...
Meanwhile, fifteen miles away.
The Black Dragon Beauty was so shocked that she doubted her own eyes. Just as she was about to question what she had seen, Li Hao stepped out of the small tea stall and shot forward like a golden bolt of lightning.
So fast!
And it was Body Flight!
The Black Dragon Beauty's face changed dramatically, filled with terror. This was a symbol of the Fifteen Li Realm. Could it be that this son of Marquis Xingwu had reached the Fifteen Li Realm?!
How old is he?!
Her mind went blank for a moment. She had thought this would be a simple matter of striking from fifteen miles away and ending it with a single blow, but now she found herself in an unimaginable situation.
A strong sense of impending death instantly enveloped her. The Black Dragon Beauty snapped back to reality, and without a second thought, instinctively turned to flee, intending to rejoin her husband.
A flash of black light, and she took off, heading for the distance.
But before she had flown a hundred meters from the treetops, a golden light descended from the sky. A long, slender hand emerged from the light, pressing down on the Black Dragon Beauty's head, forcing it straight into the ground.
With a loud thud, a large crater formed in the earth.
On the ground, the Black Dragon Beauty's head was pressed into the soil by Li Hao's hand, her face a mess.
The Black Dragon Beauty was terrified, feeling the hand on her head like a steel trap, as if a thousand mountains were pressing down on her, rendering her immobile.
How could someone in the Fifteen Li Realm possess such strength?!
She let out a sharp roar, a sound like a bull's bellow and a thunderclap, her black demonic aura swirling around her as she transformed into her true form.
A large, grotesque black dragon head emerged from the mist, turning to try to bite, but in the next moment, a boot with intricate embroidery extended from the mist and mercilessly stomped on the dragon's head. With a loud thud, the massive dragon head was forced into the ground.
The thick dragon tail thrashed, sweeping toward Li Hao from behind.
Without turning around, Li Hao casually swung his fist backward.
With a deep, muffled sound, a force exceeding ten thousand pounds struck the dragon's tail, instantly causing it to dent and fall to the ground.
A painful roar, like an animal's cry, sounded from beneath his feet, but the sound was muffled as if the mouth couldn't fully open.
A gentle breeze blew away the surrounding demonic mist. Li Hao stood with one foot on the dragon's head, the other hand resting on his knee, carefully examining the black dragon beneath him.
"Trying to ambush me? You're not just here to kill, are you? Who sent you?"
Li Hao narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
His voice lacked anger, but the Black Dragon felt a chill run through her body.
"Who, who are you?"
Her mouth could barely open, and she asked in fear.
In just one exchange, she had been completely overpowered. Could this person be in the Tianren Realm?!
At this moment, she suspected that their assassination plan had already been discovered by the Divine General Manor, and this was a ruse, a trap.
"There were so many people at the tea stall, yet you targeted me immediately. Don't you know who I am?"
Li Hao smiled slightly, thinking that apart from his appearance, there was nothing particularly striking about him compared to others.
If this was an attack on the Divine General Manor, then they were well-prepared.
"Are you really Marquis Xingwu's son? How is that possible? Age can't be faked. Marquis Xingwu's son is only fourteen this year, and you are already at the Fifteen Li Realm!"
The Mother Black Dragon exclaimed in shock and disbelief, her voice tinged with anger and resentment by the end.
Fourteen years old, and already at the Fifteen Li Realm?
Even for the top-tier monsters with a Ninth-Rank War Body, reaching the Divine Wanderer Realm at this age would be terrifying!
"Do you know my father?"
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, immediately recalling the assassination attempt when he was seven. His eyes narrowed. "You wouldn't be a monster sent by Yanbei, would you?"
He could have killed this creature right there at the teahouse, but he had chased it down to learn the truth.
"Are you really his son?!"
The Mother Black Dragon was shocked, her dragon eyes widening as she strained to look up at the young man's face.
Li Hao pushed off the ground with a slight effort and said coldly, "Tell me, what's the situation with Yanbei? Why has the stalemate lasted for so many years? Don't you monsters understand the strength of the Dayu Dynasty? Even without our Li Family, other Divine General Manors would reinforce you if you managed to break through. The Dayu Imperial Clan could lead the Dayu Army into battle at any time. Are you monsters really that desperate?"
"Don’t make it sound like your human race is a solid block. Capturing Yanbei is just the first step."
The Mother Black Dragon sneered, but quickly realized her mistake and turned angry. "With your talent, you could have joined a famous mountain for cultivation and become renowned throughout the world. Why hide your strength and pretend to be a useless person?!"
First step? Li Hao frowned. From the sound of it, the monster force attacking Yanbei seemed to be massive, aiming to swallow the entire Dayu Dynasty?
How could that be possible? It would require a vast number of monsters working together.
He stared down at the Mother Black Dragon and said, "Hiding my strength? I just didn't have the opportunity to show it. When I was twelve, I fished for a dragon. You didn't see it, so can you blame me? If you cooperate, I might consider letting you go."
"Twelve years old and you fished for a dragon?" The Mother Black Dragon was stunned, her heart turning cold with shock, unable to speak.
"Have you made up your mind? Your cultivation isn't easy. Don't give up so easily", Li Hao said.
The Mother Black Dragon snapped back to her senses, filled with fear. Her only thought was to stay alive and bring this terrifying information out.
If the White Divine Lord knew about this child's talent, he would spare no effort to eliminate him, even without the Northern Yan Battlefield incident, to prevent a future threat.
She had thought sending her and her mate was an overreaction, not wanting to give the other side any chance, but they had underestimated him.
Not the protection of the Divine General Manor, but the prey itself!
Seeing the Mother Black Dragon remain silent, Li Hao muttered to himself, "So be it. If you want to die, I haven't had dragon meat in a long time. Today, I'll take your liver. I wonder how plump and delicious you are."
The Mother Black Dragon's pupils contracted, as if a demon were whispering from above.
Monsters eat humans, but this young man wanted to eat a monster, and not for its core, just for the taste of its liver?
"Husband, save me!"
Seeing Li Hao about to strike, the Mother Black Dragon shouted desperately.
"Hmm?" Li Hao was slightly taken aback. There was another one?
He felt a chill in his heart as his Divine Soul flew out from his head, scanning the surroundings. Soon, he saw a fierce battle thirty miles away on a hill.
A massive, thick black dragon was fighting two people.
Li Hao had noticed these two earlier, having followed them all along. One of them was Uncle Fu, and the other he didn't recognize, likely a person sent by Ren Qianqian's backer.
The battle was extremely dangerous. Uncle Fu was already injured and could only assist from the side.
"Let me borrow your scale."
Li Hao's eyes flashed with a killing intent. He bent down and plucked a scale from the Mother Black Dragon's head, then flung it out. It transformed into a streak of dark light and disappeared into the horizon.
The Mother Black Dragon was stunned, then horrified. "What are you doing?!"
Thirty miles away.
The two people were being pushed back in the fierce battle. Li Fu's face was pale. He hadn't expected to encounter a Fifteen Li Realm Great Demon here. He was only at the Divine Wanderer Realm and found it hard to escape, fortunately, with the help of another Fifteen Li Realm person.
But the situation was dire. His earlier distress signal had been intercepted by the Great Demon, and he had to find another way.
"Die!"
The black dragon roared fiercely, slamming the burly man off the hill and about to swoop down to tear him apart. Suddenly, a sound of something breaking the air reached them.
"Hmm?"
The black dragon turned in surprise, only to see a dark scale rapidly expanding in its eyes.
With a terrifying speed that couldn't be avoided, the scale pierced directly into its eye and quickly stirred within its skull, destroying its brain tissue!
The black dragon spewed a large mouthful of blood, its other eye filled with disbelief and horror. It recognized the dark light as Xuan Mei's scale, but how...
A thunderous boom echoed as the black dragon fell, its life rapidly fading.
One scale, thirty miles, and a dragon slain.
