Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Raiding the Martial Mansion

What!

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t believe their eyes.

Shi Hao actually dared to make a move?

Although this was just a gatekeeper and not a member of the Wu Family Clan, weren’t you here to apologize? Why would you still dare to attack?

Whoosh, after a while, a dark shadow fell from the sky.

It was the Gate Guard Leader.

Damn, how high did he throw him to only fall down now?

Shi Hao extended his hand, a gentle force surged and neutralized the Gate Guard Leader’s rapid descent, then he grabbed the man by the neck.

"Fun, isn’t it?" he said with a smile.

The Gate Guard Leader trembled continuously, he had watched himself being flung at least a hundred feet into the air, then stopping, accelerating, and plummeting towards the ground. With such velocity, his bones would’ve definitely shattered upon impact.

Just when he was so horrified that his gallbladder nearly burst, Shi Hao suddenly made his move and pulled him back from the brink of death at Ghost Gate.

He was still frightened beyond measure, but he remembered his duty and quickly said in a stern voice, "You, you, you’ve got some nerve, daring to commit violence within the Martial Mansion, you’re looking for, for death!"

As he spoke, a strange smell wafted through the air, and water droplets could be seen falling from the hem of his trousers.

Uh, he peed himself.

Pfft!

Many people burst out laughing. It truly was comical—soiling himself from fright yet still threatening others. Wasn’t that just a joke?

Shi Hao also stepped aside with a look of disgust, maintaining some distance.

The Gate Guard Leader’s face turned crimson with shame, wishing he could crawl into a hole and hide.

It was so embarrassing; it was a disgrace.

This show of authority frightened him into idiocy.

But wasn’t this guy here to apologize? Why was he still so arrogant?

The Gate Guard Leader didn’t understand, but he was now too weak to even stand properly, let alone hinder Shi Hao.

Shi Hao proceeded forward, ready to enter through the gate.

The remaining seven gatekeepers were exceedingly awkward.

Were they to stop him or not?

Stop him, and risk the same fate? Not stop him, and face severe dereliction of duty—and the Wu Family would surely punish them. Neither option was appealing.

They were on the verge of tears—how had they found themselves in such a dilemma?

Shi Hao’s gaze swept over them as he said indifferently, "Today I’ve come to kill. Thus, it’s best that irrelevant people stay out of the way. If anyone insists on throwing themselves into death’s path, I will not show any mercy."

Hiss!

Hearing his proclamation, everyone was in disbelief.

What, Shi Hao wasn’t here to apologize, but to kill?

Uh, no wonder he had made a move earlier, showing no regard for face. This could explain it.

But why, on what grounds?

What right did a three-star Pill Master have to challenge the Royal Family? Wasn’t this sheer suicide?

Oh, it was very likely that Wu Guike was indeed killed by him, so, knowing he couldn’t escape, he decided to cause a spectacular commotion.

Shi Hao continued to walk forward as the seven gatekeepers looked at each other in hesitation.

But when Shi Hao approached, they nevertheless drew their swords, pointing them at Shi Hao.

As gatekeepers, it was their duty to guard the entrance. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to face the Wu Family afterwards.

"No trespassing allowed!" all seven shouted in unison.

Shi Hao’s eyes turned cold; he had already given an opportunity, and he had also said that he would not hold back anymore.

He did not stop his feet and continued to move forward.

"Kill!" A person immediately brandished a knife and slashed over.

Bang!

Shi Hao did not even lift a hand; Protective Body Strength burst forth, directly blasting that person away, who then crashed against the wall with a heavy thud, the whole person flattened.

——The wall was too sturdy, and the force endured by the person was too great. Thus, the wall did not break, but he was squeezed flat.

Hiss, seeing this scene, the place fell deathly silent.

This was no small scuffle; it was the unleashing of a killing spree.

To commit violence in the Martial Mansion was naturally a provocation against the Wu Family, but could the Wu Family swallow this affront?

Yet, many people became excited, feeling that such a spectacle was quite exciting.

The other six gatekeepers were trembling, their weapons shaking in their hands.

Scared to death, the violent transformation of a companion right in front of their eyes into an unrecognizable mass of flesh and blood made them want to vomit, but the overwhelming terror left them gasping for air.

They watched, wide-eyed, as Shi Hao walked past them, yet they did not have the courage to make a move.

Soon, Shi Hao entered through the door.

Phew, the six of them exhaled in relief, sitting down on the ground with a thud, their weapons clattering to the floor.

Onlookers quickly surged forward, some standing at the doorway to peer in, others climbing up the high walls to look inside. Even so, they dared not squeeze through the door; after all, who would dare to provoke the tiger’s might of the Wu Family?

Meanwhile, behind the courtyard wall, part of the Wu Family had already heard the commotion and rushed out.

However, those living in the front yard were definitely of lower status, so naturally, there were no skilled fighters among them.

"Shi Hao, you’ve got some nerve!" A member of the Wu Family shouted angrily, his face filled with wrath like thunder.

This was Shi Hao committing murder at their doorstep. Even if they minced him into thousands of pieces, it would not change the blow to the Wu Family’s dignity.

So, he was furious.

Shi Hao gave a light smile, "Heh, my courage is indeed not small. For instance, your Wu Guike, he was killed by me."

What!

The Wu Family members were all enraged, you actually dare to say this in public; the provocation was too severe.

Yes, they had asked Shi Hao to come and explain, aiming to investigate the death of Wu Guike, but Shi Hao’s public admission, especially in such a provocative manner, was essentially a slap in the face of the Wu Family.

"Fine, since you’ve admitted it, there’s nothing more to say, execute him on the spot!" a man in his forties from the Wu Family said gravely.

"I’ll take his life!" Immediately, a man around thirty years old leaped out, closing the gap between them with a jump, throwing a punch towards Shi Hao.

He utterly looked down upon Shi Hao’s strength!

——A mere Pill Master, what combat power could he have?

In a battle of equals, he’d certainly be at the bottom!

And him?

Although he was a member of the Wu Family, not all from the family pursued Alchemy.

On the contrary, he had followed the path of martial arts, supported by the family’s supply of Elixirs; he had already become a four-step master.

A single punch ought to blast your brains out, right?

Shi Hao smiled and casually hurled a punch back.

Bang, the man was immediately sent flying, crashing through several walls before coming to a halt, but his bones were already shattered.

The exterior walls were solid, something that even the Founding King Court might struggle to demolish, but naturally, the interior masonry couldn’t be of that quality, which was beyond even the financial reach of the Wu Family, and unnecessary as well.

Shi Hao withdrew his hand and smiled faintly, "Wu Guike failed to kill me and was instead killed by me. Now your Wu Family is pressing me relentlessly, so I have no choice but to embark on a killing spree!"
