Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Completion of the Mission

Hearing this, Xu Yun almost lost it on the spot.

Oh, so he was fighting for his life here while Shi Hao had stolen the spoils of victory and even used them against him?

How could this not infuriate him?

"You damn guy!" he gritted his teeth, fire practically spouting from his eyes.

However, the bandit leader attacked, forcing him to gather his spirit and fight with all his might.

In fact, the bandit leader was impartial and would not regard Shi Hao as an ally simply because they shared a common enemy; however, Shi Hao managed his position so well, always staying behind Xu Yun, positioning the latter closer to the bandit leader.

So, the bandit leader seemed to disregard everyone else, focusing solely on killing Xu Yun.

This turned into Shi Hao and the bandit leader teaming up to attack Xu Yun.

Shi Hao, protected by his battle armor, was hard to injure, and the bandit leader, with the power equivalent to that of the Nine Realms, was also incredibly tough, giving Xu Yun a huge headache.

Moreover, Shi Hao intermittently shot Frost Arrows, possessing the lethal force of the Self-Observation level, forcing Xu Yun to face him head-on.

In such a situation, how could Xu Yun cope?

He let out a sound of deep hatred, but made a swift decision, turning around and fleeing.

—If Shi Hao could use the bandit leader to pin him down, why couldn’t he use it to his advantage?

As soon as he left, Shi Hao would have to face the Nine Realms’ powerhouse alone.

Shi Hao laughed out loud and also sprinted, closely following Xu Yun.

The bandit leader chased them, but in terms of speed, both Shi Hao and Xu Yun were not slower than him, and he could not catch up to either of them.

"Die!" Xu Yun swung his sword in an attack, turning the tables so that now Shi Hao was caught in the middle, making him experience the taste of being attacked from two sides.

Besides, attacked simultaneously by two Self-Observation experts, how could you survive?

Shi Hao just smiled, did not block directly, swiftly dodged past, and began to lead the way.

The bandit leader, now closer to Shi Hao, naturally adjusted his direction first and chased after Shi Hao.

"Damn!" Xu Yun couldn’t help but curse foully, quickly following from behind.

The speed of the three "persons" was incredibly fast, and soon they had run down from Four Kings Peak. After chasing for a couple more steps, however, the bandit leader suddenly turned around and deftly ran back.

Xu Yun almost vomited blood.

What did that mean?

All his previous efforts were wasted, all bandits would "revive." Keep in mind, earlier in order to kill the bandit leader, he had popped a pill to forcibly restore his condition.

Now, as the effect of the pill was almost gone, his combat power would plummet.

Run!

He looked at Shi Hao with eyes full of deep hatred, then broke into a run.

—Of course, to the village; it was absolutely safe there. No one was allowed to fight, or else the village guards would teach you a lesson.

Shi Hao chased for a few steps, then quickly stopped.

It was clear that the other’s speed was no less than his, and once inside the village, he couldn’t attack, so driving him away was fine.

This time he had won a complete victory—he messed up Xu Yun’s winning situation, made the latter waste a treasure medicine, and even took the spoils that should have belonged to him.

Good, half the anger was vented, and later he would simply slaughter this guy.

Shi Hao looked towards Four Kings Peak and muttered, "I wonder if I can get another piece of spoils when I go up this time?"

He ascended the mountain, only to see figures flickering; indeed, all the bandits had "revived."

Come!

Shi Hao strode forward, deeming this nothing but a challenge akin to Hell Difficulty, yet he treated it as if it were child’s play.

Suddenly, several bandits charged out.

This time, only Shi Hao had breached their lair, so the overall strength of the bandit hideout was adjusted to match his cultivation. These bandits were merely at the Nine Islands realm yet a big cut above the ordinary ones from the Nine Islands.

Unfortunately, what did that amount to in front of Shi Hao?

Did he need to use his battle armor or ultimate moves? By merely swinging his fists casually, he watched as groups of bandits fell one after another, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

Without stopping, he went straight to the bandit leader’s location.

It was still one against four, but the bandit leader’s strength had dropped to the first realm, while the four minions had turned into the Nine Islands.

Shi Hao unleashed his power, bombarding the bandit leader with Cloud Flame Fire, then blew up the four minions with four punches.

It was effortlessly easy; too easy.

If Xu Yun saw this scene, he would definitely go mad with jealousy.

What had Xu Yun sacrificed just to kill the bandit leader?

And Shi Hao?

He simply swept through them all, like an adult bullying a child.

He then went to the bandit leader’s house, only to see that the floor was still dug up, and that iron chest was also open, empty.

Alas, what a pity.

Shi Hao took the bandit leader’s "corpse" and returned to the village.

Upon finding the villager who issued the task, he earned their gratitude, but, there was nothing else.

"Can’t I check the Reward Points?" Shi Hao murmured, could he only calculate it himself?

"You!" Xu Yun’s voice erupted behind him, filled with boundless fury.

Shi Hao turned around, giving the other a slight smile.

Xu Yun forcefully suppressed his rage, his gaze stern as he stared at Shi Hao for a while and said, "Just you remember, if I don’t kill you, my name isn’t Xu!"

Heh, angry now?

Back when you had no grievance against me, yet you attempted murder, why not reflect on that?

Shi Hao didn’t argue, but responded sharply, "Once I break through to Self-Observation and slay you like a chicken, if you still dare to appear before me then, I’ll take your life."

"Hmph!" Xu Yun swirled his sleeve and strode away in large steps.

He had taken an Elixir, but the side effects hadn’t been resolved yet, and now he dared not leave the village.

Shi Hao smiled. In his view, Xu Yun was but a small figure, someone he could deal with effortlessly once his realm improved, not worth his deliberate attention.

He went on to take other tasks, the top priority being to enhance his cultivation and advance to the Ten Islands as soon as possible.

Newcomers here would discover that this village was practically littered with treasures, with many tasks offering large amounts of Reward Points.

However, one would realize upon trying that many tasks were at Hell Mode, and even with many people and the presence of a strong person, it wouldn’t help, as the opponents in these tasks would also adjust their strength accordingly.

Moreover, once the number of participants increased, the Reward Points had to be shared, so even if a task offered a hundred Reward Points, but ten people went to complete it, each person could only get ten points, equivalent to passing a Trial Point at a difficult mode just once.

Therefore, everyone tried to finish tasks with low Reward Points, which could be completed solo. If done a bit faster, the earnings were actually not small.

Shi Hao was an exception.

He only picked tasks with high Reward Points to complete. With his ability to crush opponents of the same realm—not just the same tier—what task wasn’t a clean sweep for him?

Unless there is a higher difficulty level above Hell Difficulty.

Beyond Reward Points, some tasks had additional spoils of war to be gained, while others did not, such as escorting a lost elderly lady from the deep mountains back home, where he had to slay many ferocious beasts and ended up with just a thank you.
