Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Luo Jian Strikes

Shi Hao glanced over and saw that it was Xiao Hei who had been smashed in.

He was nearly unconscious, with blood at the corner of his mouth and a distinct footprint on his chest.

Clearly, he had been kicked in by someone.

The kick was so powerful that it not only broke the wall but also rendered Xiao Hei semi-conscious.

It should be noted that Xiao Hei belonged to Four Islands, and moreover, had a Sword Body with at least the combat power of the Nine Islands.

Who was it?

"Be careful, that person is very strong!" Xiao Hei barely managed to utter a sentence before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and fainting.

Enraged, Shi Hao stepped outside only to see a young man in white standing in the courtyard. His garment fluttered slightly in the night breeze, appearing effortlessly graceful.

Behind him stood two others, one of whom was Luo Haiyun, and the other was Luo Ping.

Obviously, this man was reinforcements brought in by the Luo father and son duo, and he had defeated Xiao Hei with a single move. Otherwise, even if Luo Ping and his father joined forces and multiplied their effort by ten, they would definitely not be a match for Xiao Hei.

"That’s Shi Hao!" Luo Ping pointed at Shi Hao as soon as he emerged.

Luo Haiyun was haughty and said, "Let’s see how arrogant you can be now! Do you know who this is? Let me tell you, this is the most distinguished member of our Luo Family, my uncle, Luo Jian!"

"Kneel down now!" Luo Ping also shouted, trying to boast of another’s power.

Looking at Luo Jian, Shi Hao said, "You injured Xiao Hei; I will definitely settle this account!"

Hiss!

Luo Ping and his father both gasped in shock, revealing astonished expressions.

In front of Luo Jian, you dare to be so presumptuous?

You must be out of your mind.

Luo Jian was also somewhat surprised. He had not taken Lin Yuyue, the "Childhood Sweetheart," seriously, merely instructing someone to find an opportunity to get rid of Shi Hao. Unexpectedly, in just a day, this young man had caused such a stir.

—All the elders were vying to take him as a disciple.

This person, must not be kept!

"Kneel down, slap yourself a hundred times, and I might spare your life!" he spoke indifferently, as if naturally assuming a kingly demeanor.

Shi Hao shook his head, stretched out his hand, and boom, a huge Fireball was flung towards Luo Jian.

Luo Jian reached out to block it. Bang, the Fireball was instantly extinguished, naturally unable to harm him at all.

However, his expression turned exceedingly ugly.

Actually dared to defy him?

Damn it!

Luo Ping and his father were utterly dumbstruck; they had never seen someone so courting death.

"Hehe, having courage is commendable, but, there are too many beings in this world that you need to revere, thus recklessly flaunting your power will only lead to grave injuries!" Luo Jian spoke lightly, then his figure moved suddenly, drifting towards Shi Hao like a wisp of light smoke.

So fast!

Shi Hao had to admit that Luo Jian was indeed very strong, his movement technique surely surpassed that of an ordinary Other Shore Realm.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t up to par with Shi Hao.

His movement technique... came from Yuan Chengmie himself.

Shi Hao also moved, quickly retreating backwards.

Aware that Luo Jian’s cultivation was that of the Nine Islands, even without the ability to engage in cross-realm fights, his combat power was still far above his own; clashing head-on would be suicidal.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the two moved rapidly, one advancing and the other retreating.

Shi Hao was not one to merely take hits without retaliating; while retreating, he continuously launched massive Fireballs.

He only summoned the Fire Element, tricking Luo Jian into thinking he was a Fire Spirit Root, naturally setting a trap for him.

While it didn’t harm Luo Jian, it infuriated him, as he, a dignified figure from the Nine Islands, couldn’t subdue a minor Martial Artist from the Soul Nurturing realm.

With each passing minute, his expression grew uglier.

"Heavenly Net Earth Trap!" he finally burst out in real anger, reaching out towards Shi Hao with both hands.

A bizarre scene unfolded, as a golden net appeared around Shi Hao and began to close in on him.

Huh?

Shi Hao showed a hint of surprise. He was merely using pure Soul Power, as he was only from Soul Nurturing and shouldn’t have been able to utilize the Dark Force—it was his trump card, which he didn’t want to reveal unless it was to vanquish an enemy or save his life.

As for Luo Jian, he had combined Soul Power with Dark Force, which was somewhat novel.

But how strong could such a net be?

Shi Hao’s fists vibrated, and he blasted towards the golden net, his fists ablaze with fire.

"Delusional fool!" Luo Jian scoffed.

Using the Heavenly Net Earth Trap from a distance naturally reduced the Martial Technique’s power, but he was from the Nine Islands and Shi Hao was merely from Soul Nurturing. Even if its power were reduced a hundredfold, how could it stop Shi Hao—

Spurt!

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Hao had broken through the golden net and made a successful breakthrough.

What!

Luo Jian, unable to care that he had been slapped in the face, stared at Shi Hao in disbelief, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

How could this guy possess such immense strength and even muster enough Elemental Power to contend with himself?

"You are from the Other Shore Realm!" he gasped in realization, no wonder Shi Hao’s speed could match his own, no wonder he could break his Heavenly Net Earth Trap. If Shi Hao was from the Other Shore Realm, it all made sense.

He hadn’t considered it before, firstly because the information he received showed Shi Hao was merely from the Soul Nurturing realm, and secondly, he couldn’t believe that such a young master from the Other Shore could emerge from the Cursed Land.

But now, he knew he was "wrong".

Upon hearing this, Luo Haiyun immediately became furious.

He had lost to Shi Hao in the duel, which was supposed to be between competitors from the Soul Nurturing realm. Now that Shi Hao, a master from the Other Shore, had participated, how was that fair?

"Fraud!" he gritted his teeth, longing to drink Shi Hao’s blood for making him such a public spectacle.

"We must expose his true face to everyone!" Luo Ping immediately said.

Luo Haiyun understood; losing publicly to Shi Hao was a colossal humiliation that would follow him for life. However, if it was proven that Shi Hao was from the Other Shore Realm, then his loss was justified.

Who could expect a Martial Artist from the Soul Nurturing realm to defeat one from the Other Shore?

The two immediately summoned people, and soon, a crowd had gathered.

"What, Shi Hao is actually from the Other Shore Realm?"

"No wonder he subdued Luo Haiyun in one move. The Other Shore against Soul Nurturing naturally holds a tremendous advantage."

"Sss, this is fraud, and even upon our sect’s head. This is a death-seeking behavior."

The crowd began discussing, and of course, there were surely Luo Family’s internet warriors among them, deliberately swaying public opinion to favor Luo Haiyun, with the accusations pointed at Shi Hao.

"Didn’t think someone so handsome could be a fraudster!"

"Even if he’s a fraud, I still kind of like him!"

"You’re such a fangirl!"

Luo Jian’s expression became increasingly ugly. Although he had "proved" that Shi Hao was from the Other Shore Realm, it didn’t change the fact that he was from the Nine Islands. Unable to defeat Shi Hao after so long, in full view of everyone, how embarrassed he must feel?

He was deemed a genius of the Luo Family, carrying the hopes of Luo Family’s future, yet he couldn’t subdue even a Martial Artist from a lower realm, a great blow to his prestige.
