Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Identity Exposed

"Shi Hao, you should not have rejected me!" Hong Taihe said indifferently, as if capturing Shi Hao was nothing more than an effortless task in his eyes.

Shi Hao quickly waved his hands, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, don’t talk like that. It makes you sound like a scorned woman who’s been dumped."

Hong Taihe flew into a rage, "On the verge of death, you still dare to spout nonsense. You truly do not know whether you’re alive or dead!"

He made a move, reaching out to grab Shi Hao.

Shi Hao immediately pulled out Ninefold Mountain and struck down at Hong Taihe.

With that slash, the rolling power was indescribably terrifying.

Even the immensely confident Hong Taihe had no choice but to retreat three full steps, hastily pulling back his hand.

But he was a disciple of cultivation from Zhenwu Sect, superior in talent, strength, reflexes, and combat experience; he quickly regrouped and attacked Shi Hao again.

Fast, accurate, ruthless.

He had given up on the thought of capturing Shi Hao to interrogate him about the powerful inheritance, instead deciding to completely eliminate this individual with astonishing potential.

——Securing a Spiritual Artifact wouldn’t be bad either.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, his eyes wide open, and suddenly, two beams of light shot out from his eyes, focused and narrow as chopsticks.

Thud!

Once the beams of light were shot forth, dodging them was impossible—their speed was far too quick.

Hong Taihe let out a scream, only to find burnt holes had appeared on each of his shoulders.

These beams of light were solidified and incredibly powerful.

With a thought from Shi Hao, the two beams of light began to converge towards the middle, intending to sever Hong Taihe’s head clean off.

However, a Light Shield immediately appeared around Hong Taihe, repelling the beams of light.

This was not the defensive effect of a Spiritual Artifact, but rather his harnessing of Elemental Power to form a protective Shield around himself.

In terms of soul strength, he was certainly superior to Shi Hao, but while he had to distribute the Elemental Shield all over his body, Shi Hao only needed to concentrate it on two points. How vast was this disparity?

As a result, the Light Shield began to show signs of erosion, as if it were about to be pierced by the beams at any moment.

Hong Taihe hurriedly retreated, and when he was about twenty feet away from Shi Hao, the destructive power of the beams plummeted, no longer posing a threat.

How could this be!

It was only then that Hong Taihe caught his breath, shocked and appalled. Wasn’t the Light Spirit Root useless, only good for gathering light for illumination? How could it possess such terrifying power?

In the future, who would dare call the Light Spirit Root useless?

"It’s... you!" A roar erupted, and with a boom, Luo Haodian leapt over, his face filled with murderous intent.

When he saw Ninefold Mountain, he recognized it. This was the murderer who killed Luo Qicai!

Utterly detestable!

To think that after killing his great-grandson, he had the audacity to swagger into Zhenwu Sect, almost tricking him into taking him as a disciple.

Every time this brat saw him, his heart must have been full of mockery.

Despicable! Despicable!

Thus, Luo Haodian could no longer care about anything else and only wanted to tear Shi Hao to pieces.

A Self-Observation powerhouse, indeed!

Shi Hao dared not meet the attack head-on and quickly vaulted away, unfolding the Cloud Piercing Step. His speed was astoundingly fast, so much so that even a Self-Observation powerhouse couldn’t catch up, maintaining only a stalemate.

What!

Hong Taihe revealed a look of astonishment. This youth had mastered such a sophisticated movement technique?

Indeed, this fellow had received the inheritance of a powerful master.

For a moment, he was filled with envy. He should be the one favored by the heavens. Why was it that, within the same Zhenwu Sect, all the fortune fell on Shi Hao instead?

However, with a Self-Observation powerhouse chasing him, Shi Hao was unlikely to escape unscathed.

——Ultimately, Shi Hao’s speed comes at the cost of a significant drain on his power, so how could it last?

Shi Hao was not simply running away; from time to time, he would shoot out beams of light, seeking to ambush Luo Haodian. However, Self-Observation, after all, was Self-Observation, easily summoning Elemental Power and forming a Shield in front of him, effortlessly blocking the beams of light.

This made Luo Haodian even angrier. How dare someone from the Other Shore Realm actually fight back against him?

No matter how he pursued, Shi Hao managed to maintain a similar speed, and although he couldn’t shake him off, he couldn’t catch up either.

He calmed down, wondering, how long could Shi Hao keep up with this rate of power consumption?

"Today, you have only one path—death!" he said ominously.

Meanwhile, Mo Du found himself once again in a crisis.

He had not anticipated that the "treasure" of Gulang Country would attract so many Self-Observation experts, nor that they would emerge from the maze so quickly and form an encirclement against him.

Damn it, he had been absorbing Yin energy for thousands of years, and now he needed the blood of the living to complete the absorption and transform it into his own power. Therefore, he had prepared a live sacrifice for himself, but nothing was going smoothly. Just as it was about to start, these Self-Observation experts had already broken free.

He decided to break through. As long as he could absorb the Yin energy within him, what could mere Self-Observation do against him?

"Chen Ling, help me!" he suddenly called out.

Hmm?

Everyone was surprised. This guy still had reinforcements?

Xiao Bo, on the other hand, was furious. This ghost creature was on the verge of death, yet he dared to spout nonsense and drag his beloved into the fray.

How despicable!

He attacked even more fiercely, each blow ruthless.

Chen Ling, however, just smiled radiantly: "Fine!"

She looked at Xiao Bo and shouted, "You dog servant, kill all those people!" she pointed to the Self-Observation experts other than Mo Du.

Xiao Bo first showed a look of confusion, followed by shock—could his beloved really have an unspeakable relationship with this ghost creature?

But immediately, his eyes became cloudy, and he struck out fiercely at the expert beside him.

"Xiao Bo, have you gone mad?" the Self-Observation expert who was attacked immediately rebuked, both angry and shocked.

Xiao Bo, however, turned a deaf ear and attacked wildly, showing a complete disregard for injury or life.

"No good, his mind is under someone else’s control!" someone exclaimed.

"What!"

"He is a Self-Observation expert; how could his mind be controlled by someone else?"

"But, what other explanation is there?"

Everyone was forced to accept the fact that Xiao Bo was under someone else’s control.

And with Xiao Bo’s help, especially his reckless disregard for his own life, it made everyone wary.

"Kill that witch!"

"Yes, it’s all because of her control—if we kill her, Xiao Bo will naturally come to his senses."

"Kill!"

Compared to a madman, Chen Ling was obviously easier to deal with.

Instantly, three Self-Observation experts charged at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling was unafraid, merely smiling radiantly: "Luo Haodian, aren’t you going to protect your master?"

At once, Luo Haodian, who was still chasing Shi Hao, suddenly stiffened up. As if possessed, his eyes immediately became clouded, as soulless as if he had lost his spirit, and leaped toward Chen Ling, taking his place in front of her.

Hisss, turns out, there was more than one Self-Observation expert under the control of this witch.

Everyone couldn’t help but think of Xiao Bo, who treated Chen Ling as his betrothed, and now? It seemed his head was crowned with green.
