Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 421 Ambush

Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Ambush

How overbearing was Shi Hao’s punch?

Boom—a single strike, and the stone figure immediately shattered.

Even if you were stronger than Nine Islands, what of it? In front of Shi Hao, the Other Shore Realm is nothing but trash.

What Shi Hao was curious about was where did these stone figures come from?

He also spread his Soul Tentacle, everything within a seven-yard radius should have been under his perception, so how could there be any fish that escaped the net?

If it wasn’t him just now, but another from Nine Islands, even someone as strong as Zhang Santian might have been tricked, right?

What if the opponent was stronger?

Shi Hao felt that if he didn’t use the Light Shadow People as decoys, then he might have been the unfortunate one.

Better safe than sorry.

Shi Hao continued to move forward, with the Light Shadow People walking ahead.

Swoosh, another shadow lunged out, attacking the Light Shadow Person.

This time, Shi Hao saw it clearly.

The stone figures were coming out from underground!

No wonder, they could escape his perception because the ground was incredibly hard and could even block the Soul Tentacle’s probing, yet the stone figures could move freely underground, as if it were a lake.

Thinking so, Shi Hao’s actions did not slow down at all; as he punched out, the stone figure had no time to escape and was forcibly blown to bits by him.

Repeating the old trick, Shi Hao moved on.

This cave was not just a single path to the end; not far along, Shi Hao discovered a fork in the road. Without any hesitation, he chose the one on the right and continued.

Similarly, stone figures would occasionally jump out to make their presence known, but as soon as they appeared, they were blown up by Shi Hao.

Half an hour later, Shi Hao suddenly noticed a faint light ahead.

It was a glowing Spirit Fruit!

Shi Hao could see clearly, the Spirit Fruit was emitting a faint glow, growing on a short shrub.

However, he didn’t see any Ferocious Beasts monsters guarding it.

Shi Hao wasn’t in a hurry and continued to control the Light Shadow Person to step forward.

Just as the Light Shadow Person reached the Spirit Fruit, hiss, hiss, hiss, four shadows simultaneously emerged from the ground and attacked the Light Shadow Person.

These all had combat power exceeding that of Nine Islands, and with one strike, the Light Shadow Person immediately crumbled.

Shi Hao, however, chuckled lightly. So the final guard was only like this, not strong, just numerous.

He strode forward and reached out to pick the Spirit Fruit.

Hiss, hiss, hiss, the four shadows reappeared, all bombarding Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t even lift a finger, but as the four stone figures charged toward him, they turned into pieces of stone.

—Sliced by the Net of Rules.

Against the Other Shore level, the Net of Rules was simply the ultimate weapon, with nothing that could resist it.

This was a suppression of levels.

Shi Hao smiled and plucked the Spirit Fruit.

Wow, such a strong surge of energy.

Shi Hao’s eyes lit up; previously, it took about twenty or thirty Spirit Fruits to fill a minor realm of his cultivation, but this one, probably ten would be enough.

He immediately refined it and found his cultivation had indeed advanced a great deal.

Good, another one.

He returned the way he had come, entering the previously untraveled fork.

It was the same, stone figures always suddenly popped out wanting to ambush him, but they unexpectedly bit into the bait cast by Shi Hao and were immediately blasted to bits.

After finishing this fork as well, Shi Hao obtained a second Spirit Fruit.

After refining it, Shi Hao continued.

With a bit of luck, he might even reach the Peak of Eight Islands at this Trial Point.

He returned to where he had started and then chose a different entrance.

This was not a maze; each branch could be followed to the end to obtain a Spirit Fruit.

——If there was no Spirit Fruit, it could only mean one thing: someone had gotten there first.

Hm?

Shi Hao’s eyebrows lifted slightly as his Soul Tentacle picked up a faint energy fluctuation.

Clearly, the other party was suppressing their aura to avoid detection, but they couldn’t fool the Soul Tentacle.

After taking two more steps, whoosh, a flash of sword light surged, its brilliant radiance cutting through the darkness of the cave and slashing fiercely at the Light Shadow Person.

With one swing, the Light Shadow Person split in two.

But the Swordsman showed no joy, for the feeling of this strike was all wrong; it was not like cutting into something solid.

He quickly withdrew his blade and braced himself, then said, "Your Excellency is indeed cunning, even using bait."

Shi Hao really didn’t know what to say. It was you who drew a sword and slashed at me, and you still have the nerve to accuse me?

Isn’t that laughable?

He shook his head, "Swordplay off the mark, you are not fit to be a Swordsman."

"Audacious, if I am not worthy, then are you?" Upon hearing Shi Hao speak, the Swordsman had already located Shi Hao and immediately charged at him with his sword.

This strike was his full force, and it was formidable.

Shi Hao laughed, Sword Heart surging.

What!

The Swordsman was shocked, as he could hardly hold onto his sword!

He was a Swordsman, yet what right did he have to call himself one if he couldn’t even control his own blade?

"Sword Heart!" he exclaimed in shock, "You’ve actually mastered the second realm of the sword path!"

By the dim sword light, he saw clearly that his opponent might not even be twenty years old, yet this young man had surpassed him in the mastery of swordsmanship.

How could he accept this?

"Isn’t it cool?" Shi Hao said with a smile, "And there’s something even cooler, keep your damn eyes peeled."

——If Big Yellow Dog were here, he would definitely be upset. What did it have to do with him?

Boom, Shi Hao’s body suddenly burst into a blinding light.

If the Light Shadow Person was like a firefly before, then he was now the Sun, with a brightness beyond comparison.

"Ah!" The Swordsman immediately covered his eyes, feeling an agonizing pain as if tears were about to flow.

This was because Shi Hao hadn’t used a beam of light yet; otherwise, if he condensed the Light Element further, blinding him permanently would be no issue.

However, this was still enough to give the Swordsman a hard time, and his thoughts were full of curses.

You’re too damn cunning!

Shi Hao smiled, "The show’s over, time to send you off!"

The Swordsman snorted and said, "Although you’ve mastered the second realm of the sword path, you’re not even twenty; what strength could you possibly have? A mere Sword Heart means little; I can simply fight without a sword!"

He was quite decisive, releasing his grip, and the sword dropped to the ground with a clang.

But in an instant, he kicked, striking just right on the handle of the sword, which then transformed into a whip-like streak, shooting towards Shi Hao.

At the same time, the Swordsman himself charged forward, using his palm as a blade and slashing fiercely at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao laughed and with a punch, he laid out the Net of Rules before him.

He had never used this move in combat before.

Ding ding ding, the flying sword was the first to strike, and upon contact with the Net of Rules, it was instantly ground into pieces!

Fuck!

The Swordsman was scared shitless, wasn’t that a precious blade forged from triple-refined gold-steel? Silently turned into fragments—was this guy a monster?

He tried desperately to stop his momentum, his face contorting as if he were constipated.
