Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Exhausted Resources

Shi Hao charged at Han Feihuo, and the Dark Patterned Leopard also keenly seized this opportunity, pouncing fiercely towards Shi Hao.

Han Feihuo, of course, did not hold back, clapping both hands together and launching an attack towards Shi Hao.

Unafraid, Shi Hao unleashed the Eight Extremes Fierce Fire Fist, directly tripling his power, one fist targeting the Dark Patterned Leopard, one fist aiming at Han Feihuo.

"You really are arrogant!" Han Feihuo was lost for words, How could you be so bold as to take on two opponents alone?

Shi Hao smiled slyly, and suddenly, the air was filled with the light of thunder.

What?

Han Feihuo’s face paled in shock, The Power of Thunder?

How could Shi Hao possibly possess the Power of Thunder? Could it be... Is this guy also a Dual Spirit Root?

He himself possessed the Dual Spirit Root of water and fire, which was already extremely valuable, both being powerful offensive tools, but Shi Hao had Thunder and Fire Dual Spirit Roots—even having just one Thunder Spirit Root would be no less extraordinary than his own Dual Spirit Roots.

This is a Thunder Spirit Root, arguably the most powerful in terms of attack power in the world.

Once thunder strikes, with his strength, it would be impossible to dodge; therefore, Han Feihuo had no choice but to retract the Water Element to form a defensive shield, while still going on the offensive with the Fire Element, transforming it into a terrifying Fire Palm.

On the other side, the Dark Patterned Leopard reacted even faster, its body becoming even more shadowy, as if it had become a black hole.

Hmm, the Dark Element!

Shi Hao was somewhat surprised, the Dark Element corresponded to the Dark Spirit Root, an Exotic Spirit Root, incredibly rare.

It was known that although Dark Patterned Leopards bear ’Dark’ in their name, almost none possessed the Dark Element, but this one was an exception, causing even him a moment of mild astonishment.

The effect of the Dark Element was... boom, thunder crackled, but all of it was swallowed by the Dark Patterned Leopard’s body, causing no harm whatsoever.

However, after absorbing so much thunder, the Dark Patterned Leopard’s body became solid again. Clearly, there was a limit to how much attack it could absorb. If Shi Hao were to deliver another punch at this time, it wouldn’t be able to absorb it so easily.

Boom, the Dark Patterned Leopard struck, sweeping its claws in an attack.

Shi Hao raised his fist to meet it head-on, bang, the collision of fist and claw creating a small energy sphere which quickly expanded and exploded, bang, and the Dark Patterned Leopard was knocked back, but Shi Hao also had a hard time, being pushed back even further.

At this moment, Han Feihuo also closed in, having blocked the thunder attack with the Water Element, he struck out with a palm at the time when Shi Hao’s defense was at its weakest.

Boom, the fiery attack landed.

Shi Hao smiled, drawing in the Dark Element, and suddenly, a black hole-like surface formed in front of him.

Fuck!

Han Feihuo’s palm landed on it, but it was sucked into this surface, and when his hand reemerged, it had lost the enhancement of fire and much of its strength had weakened, posing no further threat.

"Dark, Dark Spirit Root!" Han Feihuo said tremblingly, by now, Shi Hao had displayed three different Spirit Root Attributes, and apart from the Fire Spirit Root being somewhat normal, both the Dark and Thunder Spirit Roots were exceedingly rare. The emergence of one was already incredibly rare, much less both appearing in the same person.

Heavens, with such favor?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, it was at this moment that Shi Hao also manipulated the Blood Shadow Sword, striking at Han Feihuo.

Now was also when his opponent’s defenses were weakest.

Han Feihuo hurriedly dodged and parried, appearing extremely distressed.

Since he was certain that after such a hit, even if Shi Hao wasn’t grievously wounded, he would at the very least suffer light injuries, how could he possibly launch such a fierce counterattack?

"Roar!" The Dark Patterned Leopard was about to charge again, but Shi Hao’s eyes bulged with not only a terrifying Saber Intent but also two beams of light shot out.

The Dark Patterned Leopard was instantly intimidated, not just by Shi Hao’s formidable Saber Intent but also due to the Light Element.

Light and darkness are opposites, and the Light Element possesses a strong restraining effect against the Dark Element.

God damn it! God damn it!

Han Feihuo was on the verge of insanity, as Shi Hao had actually employed a fourth type of Elemental Power, and it was an Exotic Spirit Root at that!

"You, you’re not human!" he exclaimed in terror.

Shi Hao was not pleased, "I look this good, and you actually say I’m not human?"

He charged forward, fists swinging, filling the air with a bone-chilling cold, while a layer of golden light shimmered on the edge of his punches.

Han Feihuo was completely numb, facing yet another two types of Elemental Power!

My God, what kind of monster is this?

But as the attack came, he had to put up a defense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He was completely overpowered by Shi Hao, the endless surge of Elemental Power left him struggling to keep up, and under the onslaught of a Sun-Level high-tier Martial Technique, he was outmatched in strength as well. Furthermore, the incessant strikes from the Blood Shadow Sword were unbearably agonizing.

The critical point was that the Dark Patterned Leopard had actually chosen to sit on the fence, showing no intention of joining forces against Shi Hao, which drove him nearly to despair.

For the first time, he felt such a sense of helplessness. Was he truly one of the Four Great Geniuses?

He summoned his weapon, a sword in hand, finally feeling a slight sense of security.

However, as Shi Hao pulled out the Ninefold Mountain, wielding it with Saber Intent, the pressure intensified even more.

Han Feihuo felt like crying... if only he had known, he wouldn’t have drawn his weapon. Wasn’t this just bringing suffering upon himself?

He finally understood Shi Taiyan’s feelings back then, but who told him to be proactive in drawing his weapon? If he sheathed his sword now, would Shi Hao sheathe his saber as well?

Once the Ninefold Mountain swung into action, it was frightening.

Two hundred thousand pounds, not to mention its sharpness, just the weight alone was too terrifying for words.

Han Feihuo dared not take it head-on, he could only keep retreating.

But how could he compete with Shi Hao in speed when faced with the Cloud Piercing Step?

He was fast, but Shi Hao was faster, each slash radiated a threatening chill before him.

"I lose!" Han Feihuo shouted, "From now on, I will no longer trouble you!"

As he spoke these words, he was filled with humiliation.

How embarrassing.

Shi Hao chuckled, "You wanted to snatch my inheritance, and you were obviously planning to silence me in the process. Now that you can’t beat me, do you think a simple plea for mercy will let you escape your fate? Do you think I’m a fool, or are you the fool?"

Han Feihuo’s face turned bright red with rage as he retorted, "I am the most beloved grandson of Han Liren. If you hurt me, aren’t you afraid my grandfather will slaughter you?"

Shi Hao shook his head, "Do you believe that if I tell your grandfather about all that you’ve done, he won’t need me to act; he’ll beat you to death first!"

— In terms of seniority, Shi Hao was of his grandfather’s generation. This guy had actually set his sights on his grandfather’s peer, essentially betraying and disrespecting his ancestor. Han Liren would certainly have to clean up his family himself.

"Nonsense!" Han Feihuo naturally didn’t believe it, but at this moment, with no one to turn to for help, he had no choice but to fight Shi Hao to the death.

Humming, with a thought, he summoned his Soul Island, launching it forcefully towards Shi Hao.

In the context of the Other Shore, the Soul Island ranks just below the Soul Seed. If it were damaged, at best one’s realm would stagnate, at worst, it would regress. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would use it as a method of attack.

But Han Feihuo had reached the end of his rope, so naturally he would use whatever was at his disposal.
