Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Having Money but No Life to Spend It, Quite Tragic

"Lead the way."

Lin Hao didn’t care about the Red Knight vomiting blood in anger. With a flash of his figure, he came to Poison Rose’s side, "If you’re not afraid of following me and being retaliated against by the Western Church."

Poison Rose had already been watching in fascination.

Although, like most people, Poison Rose didn’t understand at all what had just happened, she saw very clearly that the Red Knight had been angered to the point of vomiting blood by Lin Hao.

The Red Knight, in the West, is a top-tier existence, even a legendary one.

Unexpectedly, today he was driven to cough blood by Lin Hao.

Although Poison Rose is a Westerner, she was now so excited that she wanted to jump up and plant a kiss on Lin Hao’s face.

"Do you know? The Sun Never Sets Church and Freedom Cathedral are in cahoots. They can’t wait to kill me, and I can’t wait for you to burn down their stronghold."

"Let’s go, I’ll lead the way, we’ll go set fires."

Poison Rose’s face was full of smiles, only her Disguise Technique altered her appearance, turning a typically beautiful Western woman into something extremely sleazy. She turned and led the way in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao nodded, gestured with his hand, and Song Qinghong and Song Taishan supported Huai Shian as they flew out from the debris nearby, following behind Lin Hao.

Huai Shian had been thrown down from the tenth floor by the Red Knight, but luckily from more than twenty steps up, so he wasn’t too heavily injured.

Lin Hao placed a hand on Huai Shian’s shoulder, and the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique began to operate. Within just two Cycles, Supreme Primordial Qi flowed through Huai Shian’s body. Huai Shian, who just a moment ago was at his last gasp, suddenly revived completely and looked back towards the Red Knight who was fuming with rage in the distance.

"Damn it, sneak attacking your grandpa Huai, if you’ve got the guts, come at me again! Come chase me!"

Saying this, Huai Shian gestured provocatively towards the Red Knight, thrusting his lower body forward and pointing upwards with both hands, raising three middle fingers towards the Red Knight.

Silence settled in the ruins.

Countless onlookers dumbfoundedly watched the scene unfold, hardly believing their eyes.

It was one thing for the Red Knight to be unable to do anything to Lin Hao, but now even Huai Shian was starting to ’shit on the Red Knight’s head’.

And the Red Knight, standing afar with his old face turning a deep red, seemed completely powerless to do anything against them!

Was this still the powerful Red Knight?

The crowd was shocked beyond measure, while Lin Hao had already begun to leave the city under the guidance of Poison Rose.

As Lin Hao and his party were about to leave, the Red Knight’s eyes were bloodshot, his aged hands clenched tightly, knuckles nearly popping out.

At this moment, he was incapable of pursuing them.

The Divine Authority Staff was in his hands; although powerful, it limited his mobility.

If he were to chase after Lin Hao and the others, staggering like an old man, it would be utterly humiliating, making a spectacle of himself.

But to let Lin Hao and the rest leave just like that made the Red Knight feel extremely stifled.

For centuries, when had the Red Knight ever lost a fight?

But today, even if he hadn’t lost, he certainly hadn’t won, and the frustration was immense!

"Stop them for me! The Great Brightness Sect offers a substantial reward!"

Where there are generous rewards, there are brave men!

The Red Knight was not foolish. Seeing Lin Hao about to leave, he immediately roared at everyone around him.

Those Rangers watching the excitement, lacking any sense of unity and driven entirely by self-interest, would risk their lives for the right price.

"I’ll offer ten thousand US dollars! As long as you stop them, no matter how many people, the Great Brightness Sect will pay each person ten thousand US dollars!"

The Red Knight bellowed with force, and instantly, Rangers from all directions were tempted.

That was ten thousand US dollars!

And they would receive it just for taking action and delaying Lin Hao and his group.

They didn’t fear the Great Brightness Sect reneging on the deal, as the sect’s reputation was worth far more than that sum of money.

Ten thousand US dollars, to these Rangers, was a sum tempting enough to sway many hearts, and with so many of them together, the risk was not high.

Some people’s breathing began to hasten.

Watching as Lin Hao and his party were about to pass right before their eyes, finally, someone couldn’t resist any longer.

"Just stall them for a moment, it’s not like we’re fighting for our lives with them, what’s there to fear?"

"Block them and you’ll get ten thousand bucks, you could be with two models at the club tonight, why not block?"

"Don’t be scared, everyone attack together!"

"Charge!"

Over twenty foreigners closest to Lin Hao, whether they were rangers or mercenaries, roared simultaneously, bursting out from the ruins around them. Some pulled out rocket launchers, others hurled grenades from a distance, seemingly forgetting that Lin Hao remained unharmed despite being suppressed by the heavy firepower of the Freedom Cathedral.

"What should we do?"

Although Lin Hao wasn’t afraid, Poison Rose was.

Poison Rose’s cultivation was not high, and she certainly couldn’t withstand so much heavy firepower. Watching the barrage of attacks coming down, she turned pale with fear.

"What’s there to fear? This isn’t like you."

Lin Hao smiled slightly, took a step forward, and guarded in front of Poison Rose.

He couldn’t beat the Red Knight, but he couldn’t beat these small fries?

"Samadhi True Fire!"

Lin Hao waved his hands, and dozens of sparks flew from his fingertips.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Pale blue flames shot out, and the charging foreigners couldn’t dodge at all. They were instantly engulfed in flames.

This Samadhi True Fire was a heavenly innate fire, very few in the mortal world could master it.

Once this fire caught hold, it could not be extinguished. Once it clung to the body, there was only one way out—being burned to death.

"Ah!"

"Save me!"

"Quick, help put the fire out!"

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen foreigners turned into fireballs, plummeting from the sky and rolling on the ground, screaming in agony.

As for their rockets or grenades, Lin Hao waved his hand and sent them into the sky with a gust of wind.

For a moment, continuous screams filled the ruins. Those other foreigners who wanted to charge in and take advantage saw the example before them and halted their advance, standing there sweating profusely, not even aware their clothes were soaked.

"Let’s go."

They were just a bunch of weaklings; Lin Hao didn’t even spare them a glance. He pulled Poison Rose and walked forward.

"Stop them!"

Behind him, the Red Knight struggled to walk forward, shouting as he moved.

However, at this moment, with the ten-plus people still ablaze and wailing to death right in front of them, who would dare to risk their lives to stop him?

Seeing Lin Hao approaching, those foreigners who were originally in his way involuntarily stepped aside, opening up a path for him.

"Twenty thousand dollars! Whoever stops him for me will get twenty thousand dollars! Everyone who acts will get paid!"

The Red Knight roared furiously. His vehicle had been destroyed by Lin Hao at the start. Otherwise, he would have already caught up; there would be no need for him to chase step by step from behind!

Still, no one dared to move!

Those dozen or so people who were ignited by the Samadhi True Fire were now completely dead, and within a short amount of time, they were burned into piles of human ash.

No one wanted to turn into ash. Even with such high rewards, it was no use.

Everyone knows.

Having money but no life to spend it, that’s tragic!

"To kill me or not? If you don’t kill me, can I leave now?"

Lin Hao stepped out of the crowd and then turned his head, shouting from a distance to the Red Knight.

The Red Knight was furious, and clenching his teeth, he quickened his pace.

Lin Hao shouted even louder:

"Hey, why so desperate at your age? Just keep my Magic Wand safe for me. I’m going to the Western Dock to set a fire. You can follow at your own pace, maybe you’ll still catch the magnificent Fire Sea."

"Pfft!"

Behind him, another sound of blood spraying could be heard. The Red Knight’s eyes flickered murderously as he stared fixedly at Lin Hao’s retreating back: "I will skin you alive myself!"
