Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Assault on the Chen Family

Tsk, looks like the guilty are blaming the innocent first.

Shi Hao stroked his chin, yet couldn’t help but admire the audacity of Mr. Chen.

Even though the Spirit Stone Marrow had been mined, who knew how many more astonishing Spirit Stones were still in the massive mine?

This was still a mine capable of altering the destiny of a clan!

But now, for the sake of killing Shi Hao, Mr. Chen was even willing to give away this massive mine.

Truly a bold move.

Upon further thought, Shi Hao realized that if he fled, Mr. Chen’s secret of owning such a colossal mine would be impossible to keep. Rather than attract the attention of Seven-Star forces and suffer the humiliation of yielding to them, let alone facing the blaming inquiries from the Formation Masters Association, it was better to take the high road and let go of the mine willingly.

In doing so, they could also pin the shame of a "traitor" on Shi Hao, killing two birds with one stone.

The enmity over the death of a son is irreconcilable.

Knowing that the Chen Family would openly share the secret of possessing such a gigantic mine, wouldn’t that signify genuine sincerity? Who would then doubt that they were lying?

— There was no doubt that Shi Hao was the murderer.

The Chen Family didn’t need everyone to believe them, just a portion of the forces to send their experts to assist in the hunt for Shi Hao.

You see, the Chen Family being so generous as to offer up the huge mine, which power would still feel entitled to just take it directly?

To kill a mere Self-Observation, if they couldn’t even do that, wouldn’t it be laughable?

Shi Hao touched his chin again, quickly grasping the intricacies of the situation with a chuckle, realizing he had underestimated Mr. Chen’s shamelessness.

But to think this could kill him?

What a joke, he had Immortal Abode, and there was Yue Ying too. If she truly unleashed her power, the entire Western Rock Continent would crumble.

"Hey, reverse the order, what do you mean ’there was Yue Ying too’?" Yue Ying said discontentedly.

"Eh, you can actually steal my thoughts?" Shi Hao exclaimed in a hoarse voice.

"Hmph, do you think I want to?" Yue Ying retorted with a proud look, "I only capture them when your thoughts concern me!"

That’s a relief.

Shi Hao nodded and strode toward the Chen Family residence.

You want to kill me?

Fine, I’ll devastate your Chen Family first.

If the Chen Family ceased to exist, would the bounty still matter?

This is called getting to the root of the issue.

Shi Hao arrived at the entrance of the Chen Family and walked straight in.

"Who is it that dares to intrude upon the Chen Family?" Four guards at the entrance simultaneously drew their swords, glaring furiously at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "I come to claim a life, if you do not wish to die, step aside immediately, or I’ll show no mercy!"

He mustered his strength for this declaration, his voice resonating loud enough to cover the entire Chen Family estate.

If anyone else dared to lift a hand against him following this, he would not hold back.

"Ridiculous!"

"How dare you!"

All four guards sneered, their bravery bolstered by the territory they stood in, as this man had the audacity to make wild statements at the gates of the Chen Family.

"Meet your end!" one of the guards attacked first.

Boom!

Shi Hao didn’t even need to lift a finger; the backlash of his power sent the guard flying immediately, exploding into a shower of blood mid-air.

Hiss, the sight of this spectacle had the remaining three guards shaking with horror, feeling their legs go weak.

Without sparing another glance, Shi Hao continued on his way.

The three guards looked at each other, hesitating immensely.

If they acted now, they would most likely meet the same fate as their colleague from before. However, if they didn’t act and this youngster was killed by the experts of the Chen Family, they would be in a terrible predicament when it came time to settle accounts after the fall.

After exchanging glances, they all seemed to have made up their minds.

——Shi Hao would never leave the Chen Family alive. Thus, they must make a move, even if it was just for show.

Yes, just for show.

"Kill!" they shouted as they brandished their weapons and charged out, but their steps were exceedingly slow, maintaining a speed comparable to Shi Hao’s.

Bang!

Shi Hao threw a punch, and three lines of force burst forth, causing the bodies of the three guards to explode simultaneously.

He had said it before: Whoever struck at him would not receive mercy from him, even if it was just such a pretense.

A large number of people rushed out from inside the Chen Family compound, some relatives of the family and others servants who had served the Chen Family generation after generation. Their levels of strength varied significantly.

"I am Shi Hao. I heard you were looking for me, so I came to see what you wanted," Shi Hao said, continuing to advance.

"Arrogant!" A dozen or so people immediately charged out, attacking Shi Hao.

With a wave of his hand, Shi Hao activated the Purple Thunder Spear, transforming it into a net of electricity. In an instant, the dozen men fell to the ground, all dead.

This action sent chills down the spines of the Chen Family members. This man was too powerful.

Indeed, a fierce dragon cannot be trapped on the other side of the river.

"I’ll take care of this!" A middle-aged man with a towering stature like a watchtower stepped forward.

"Zhu Long!" Seeing him, the people of the Chen Family immediately felt bolstered.

This man was not a member of the Chen Family but rather a servant, whose ancestors had followed the Chen Family ancestors hundreds of years ago, so his loyalty was beyond question.

Zhu Long had an exceptional martial arts talent. Having already stepped into the Ninth Phase, it was said that Mr. Chen, fearful that Zhu Long might turn against him after entering the Founding King Court, had withheld resources to prevent him from progressing further.

Thus, his stepping forward naturally filled the Chen Family members with confidence.

Boom!

Without a word, Zhu Long leaped, rising several meters before plunging down. His hands joined together like a sledgehammer, his entire body radiating golden light, smashing down toward Shi Hao.

Shi Hao reached out his hand and pressed, snap, Zhu Long’s falling body instantly burst apart, dead in an instant.

Withdrawing his hand, Shi Hao did not stop and continued to move forward.

The members of the Chen Family were terrified. This was too incredible. A Ninth Phase expert was slapped to death with a single palm. Aside from the Royal Court, who else could possibly suppress him?

Before this encounter, although they knew that Chen Yunfan had died at Shi Hao’s hand, no one had witnessed the battle. They only assumed that Shi Hao had employed some sort of underhanded trick to kill Chen Yunfan.

Now they realized that Shi Hao was truly powerful!

"You brash fool, you really have some nerve!" scoffed Mr. Chen as he stepped forward.

By his side was a young man in blue, handsome and dashing, capturing attention with his presence.

This man was Wu Feiyu, from the Seven Stars power of the Wu Family, representing his family in seeking a large mine. He himself was quite remarkable, not only achieving the Ninth Phase but also ranking 71st on the Self-Observation official list.

Although it was only six ranks higher than Chen Yunfan, considering how many Self-Observation experts there are on the Western Rock Continent, even moving up one rank was incredibly impressive.

"Mr. Chen, is this the Shi Hao?" Wu Feiyu asked Mr. Chen.

"Indeed, it is he," Mr. Chen nodded.

Wu Feiyu showed a hint of surprise and scorn.

——You, a strong man of the Founding King Court, can’t even handle a mere Self-Observation expert, and you even had to offer a reward?

What a waste!

Internally dismissing him, he directly confronted Shi Hao, "Since I’ve encountered him, let Feiyu take action and kill this boy on your behalf!"

"I am in your debt," Mr. Chen bowed, his heart cold.
