Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Slaying Self-Observation

Was Shi Hao strong? He was. Was he a monstrous genius? Indeed, he was.

However, still, no one was optimistic about Shi Hao.

Why?

The Wu Family had merely dispatched a martial artist of the first Dharma appearance and already suppressed Shi Hao so completely that he couldn’t fight back. Aside from that circumstance, the Wu Family wouldn’t brag about having a hundred such experts, but surely twenty or thirty, right?

So, what could Shi Hao possibly rely on?

He was doomed.

What a pity, indeed.

Everyone lamented that such a dual genius in both alchemy and martial arts, because he had offended a wastrel, was ultimately going to lose his life; truly a waste.

"Shi Hao, the elder respects your exceptional talents; it’d be a pity if you died. He’s willing to offer you a special pardon, sparing your life and even grant a marriage with a lady from the Wu Family to you. Why aren’t you kneeling to thank him for this mercy!" At this moment, a voice suddenly roared like thunder.

Hearing this, everyone was in disbelief.

The high and mighty Wu Family, actually sparing Shi Hao’s life?

Yes, such a monstrously talented genius was indeed excessively critical to recruit, dazzling the world no matter in the paths of alchemy or martial arts.

Ah, you ask how the Wu Family could possibly control Shi Hao?

Ha, this world is full of poisons; just by using it to control him, providing him medication to delay the poison monthly or annually, how could Shi Hao dare to resist?

Moreover, given Shi Hao’s immense talent, having him marry into the Wu Family means the children born might inherit his monstrous nature.

— That would mean they are part of the Wu Family!

Therefore, even though Shi Hao had offended the Wu Family so greatly, the Wu Family elder still wished to spare his life.

Wu Lingkong also slowed his offensive, saying, "Boy, won’t you thank him for the mercy?"

Shi Hao sneered, "It seems you’ve all misunderstood something. I came here today to flatten the Wu Family; it’s you who should be begging for mercy!"

What?

Everyone was stunned. Flatten the Wu Family?

By what means?

"Hahahaha!" Wu Lingkong laughed loudly, "Shi Hao, given a slight color and now you fancy opening a dye workshop? That’s a massive joke! You can’t even pass my challenge, yet you dream of flattening the Wu Family in broad daylight!"

Boom, he charged again, his momentum like a tidal wave.

Shi Hao opened his arms wide, "Fire Scorches the Heavens" was already in motion.

Boom, a cluster of purple-red flames danced between his hands, emanating an incredibly dangerous aura.

Wu Lingkong immediately felt an intense chill; this flame was too terrifying, and he didn’t want to face it at all.

But, he had already made his attack; how could he possibly retreat now?

He had to fight.

He bolstered himself inwardly, thinking Shi Hao was merely at an Other Shore Realm, no matter how prodigious, it was impossible to threaten him.

"Go!" Shi Hao thrust forward his hands, and the cluster of flames immediately surged towards Wu Lingkong at an astonishing speed.

Bang!

Wu Lingkong had no escape; he had to endure it head-on.

He was at Self-Observation level, having already achieved his Dharma appearance, immediately utilizing his strongest technique.

A fierce tiger burst from the top of his head to meet the fierce flames.

His Dharma appearance was arguably his strongest technique; as it was the martial artist’s understanding of the universe and martial arts abstracted into form, its power was naturally immense.

Boom!

However, as the flames enveloped it the tiger Dharma appearance immediately shattered, unable to hold back at all.

"Ah!" Wu Lingkong screamed, but soon there was no sound, for he had been reduced to ashes.

The flames continued to fly and only finally dissipated after a long time.

The entire place fell into dead silence.

Who would have thought that Wu Lingkong could die? And to be almost instantly killed without any chance to fight back?

My God, was that really someone from the Other Shore Realm?

Shi Hao also sighed silently. Using such a move, although it didn’t exhaust him completely, had greatly drained his soul. At most, he could perform it once more in a short period. After twice, he wouldn’t think of using it again without several hours of recovery.

It couldn’t be helped, he hadn’t truly fused with the Spiritual Fire, just merged with the Flame Rule within it, relying on his own Soul Power to evoke the Fire Element, to regenerate the Spiritual Fire, hence the great consumption.

He definitely wouldn’t tell anyone this, with his hands clasped behind his back, full of compelling presence.

However, this strike was really earth-shattering, too stunning and shocking. The onlookers all looked at Shi Hao with awe, as if viewing a deity. At this moment, if someone claimed Shi Hao was the reincarnation of a god, they would certainly believe it.

Isn’t it so?

Other Shore killing Self-Observation, isn’t that something only a deity could achieve?

"Well done, boy!" At this moment, someone from the Wu Family finally reacted. He stared at Shi Hao with a murderous aura.

He was a Five Phases strongman called Wu Zishi!

He could tell that after that strike, Shi Hao had expended a lot, probably using some secret technique rather than actually possessing such monstrous strength.

Yet, even as a secret technique, the power was frighteningly impressive.

If the Wu Family could possess it... haha, they could totally sweep through the other six Royal Families and dominate the Alchemy Dao.

Then, the entire alchemy business of the Eastern Fire Continent would be in the hands of the Wu Family!

He strode towards Shi Hao, boom, the aura of a Five Phases completely unleashed, overwhelming for anyone from the Other Shore.

—Even if Shi Hao really could set foot on the Ten Islands, he probably couldn’t match him.

"Do you have any last words?" Wu Zishi asked coldly, deliberately putting pressure on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao just looked at him indifferently and said, "How do you want to die?"

"Haha!" Wu Zishi laughed out loud, "You want to kill me? Oh, how do you plan to kill me?"

To him, an Other Shore, however strong, was still nothing more than a bug.

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Do you believe that with a snap of my fingers, the Wu Family will be immediately annihilated?"

"Nonsense!" Wu Zishi, uninterested in further talk, made his move directly towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao performed the Cloud Piercing Step, swiftly retreating backward, then smiled and snapped his fingers.

Snap, crisp and loud.

"You snapped your fingers, your killer move—damn!" Wu Zishi was about to make a sarcastic remark when he suddenly saw several dark figures leaping from beyond the courtyard walls toward the Wu Family.

He glanced and confirmed that at least more than a dozen were at Self-Observation.

And this was just what he caught with a quick look, he believed the number of Self-Observation level fighters far exceeded this.

If it were just Self-Observation levels, however many, he wouldn’t worry; after all, the family had four Founding King Court Almighties stationed. But what did it mean for so many Self-Observation levels to dare to come killing?

Were they here to die?

Suddenly, he was covered in cold sweat, a severe tremor of fear running through him.

He no longer pursued Shi Hao; instead, he stopped and shouted at those dressed in black cloaks with their faces covered, "Who are you?"

No one responded, and those in black immediately drew their swords, unleashing a massacre on the Wu Family members.

"How dare you!" A thunderous roar erupted, and from deep within the Wu Family, four elders swiftly flew over.

Founding King Court Almighties!
