Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 952 - 951 Sword Technique, None!

"Yes, it's me!"

Looking at the waiter, Hao Jian was somewhat surprised, though his eyes flashed briefly with gloom. This person clearly recognized him, indicating they were no ordinary character.

After Hao Jian nodded, the waiter extended his hand toward the entrance, gesturing for Hao Jian to follow before setting off ahead to lead the way. Hao Jian watched the waiter leave and then followed.

The waiter twisted and turned through the hallways, eventually arriving at the door to a conference room. He raised his hand, knocked, and called toward the inside, "Sir, the person you requested has arrived."

"Come in!"

"Click!"

A deep voice echoed from within. The door then creaked open, and the waiter extended his arm, inviting Hao Jian to enter.

Quite an extravagant display...

Hao Jian sneered slightly and shook his head sarcastically. Without sparing the waiter another glance, he stepped forward, pushed open the door, and walked in...

"Mr. Hao Jian has graced us with his presence. We greet Mr. Hao Jian!"

As soon as Hao Jian stepped inside, the voice from earlier rang out again. Raising his eyes, he saw that the conference room was almost empty—only five or six people sat there. Their gaze as they looked at Hao Jian carried faint traces of mockery, subtly hidden.

"And who might you be?"

Though their expressions were discreet, Hao Jian caught the mocking undertone and sneered inwardly. Keeping his demeanor composed, he asked with apparent curiosity.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ye Haozhi, the newly appointed Elder of Ye Heavenly Mansion. These here are my subordinates; there's no need for me to introduce each one."

"Ye Heavenly Mansion?".......

Upon hearing Ye Haozhi introduce himself, Hao Jian instantly deduced their identities. Chuckling coldly, he said, "So what significant business brings Elder Ye here?"

From past experience, Hao Jian knew the high-ranking members of Ye Heavenly Mansion rarely moved with only four or five individuals. Today's setup felt unusual, and when Hao Jian saw Ye Haozhi, an unease settled in his heart—something bad seemed to be looming.

"Haha, it's nothing major. We just want you to stop protecting Ye Linglan. After all, this is a matter for Ye Heavenly Mansion, and we kindly ask Mr. Hao Jian not to interfere!" Though Ye Haozhi's words carried the tone of asking for assistance, his intent bordered on the unquestionable and reeked of arrogance.

Hao Jian had already anticipated trouble from these people but hadn't expected them to be so brazen. His lips curled into a cold smirk as he retorted, "Ye Linglan is my woman. You're asking me not to protect her—then, what do you intend to do?"

Ye Haozhi's face showed no surprise upon hearing this, as though he had already predicted Hao Jian's response. He laughed boisterously, saying, "Hao Jian, I am giving you some respect here. Don't overstep; otherwise, no one will save you. The foundation we possess is beyond your imagination..."

"Haha, since that's the case, why should I care about your so-called respect? Besides, those 'few scraps' of respect you're offering mean nothing to me—I'd rather have a few pieces of bread, which feel more practical." Hao Jian sneered, his gaze fixed on Ye Haozhi as he scoffed coldly, "Ye Haozhi? More like a family rodent!"

"With that rat-like pointy mouth and monkey-like face of yours, I can't help but feel disgusted. Sure, being ugly isn't your fault—but using your ugliness to annoy others is clearly a choice."

"They always say Hao Jian has a sharp tongue and can leave others speechless with every word. Now that I've witnessed it firsthand, the reputation is well-deserved," Ye Haozhi chuckled lightly, seemingly unfazed by Hao Jian's provocations.

"Had I taken your remarks to heart and let anger cloud my judgment, I'd likely be unable to think rationally right now."

"Haha, Ye Haozhi, when it comes to Ye Linglan, you'd best stay out of it. As for your talk about whether or not I protect her—I don't think you're in any position to command me!" Hao Jian's eyes gleamed coldly as he enunciated each word sharply, "I, Hao Jian, am a former God of Death and will never submit to anyone's orders! Be it Huaxia's leader or Ye Heavenly Mansion, none of that makes a difference!"

Hao Jian's gaze intensified, and he continued, "Tonight, you'd better get out of Hua City, or never leave at all. I've never had goodwill toward anyone from Ye Heavenly Mansion."

His declaration made the enemy's intent clear—those aim to harm the woman by his side would not be forgiven.

"Hao Jian, don't think that your strength gives you the right to be arrogant! Ye Heavenly Mansion's full might is beyond your comprehension!"

Infuriated by Hao Jian's words, Ye Haozhi's expression turned dark. He bellowed, "Ye Heavenly Mansion's Guard, form the array now!"

As his voice fell, shouts of killing intent erupted in the conference room. The walls on either side suddenly bulged outward, and from the hidden space emerged silhouette after silhouette. Within seconds, figures clad in yellow surrounded Hao Jian from all directions.

"I thought Ye Heavenly Mansion had turned a new leaf, but clearly you're still as cowardly as ever—bringing so many people along for backup. Looks like you have no intention of letting me leave peacefully today," Hao Jian sneered, gaze sweeping over the encircled guards. "Fine then, saves me the trouble of hunting you down one by one. Come, show me everything Ye Heavenly Mansion has to offer—I, Hao Jian, will deal with it all!"......

Those murderous vibes from the walls had been palpable the moment Hao Jian stepped into the room. This setup came as no surprise to him—if they still believed he was the same Hao Jian from before, their naivety was laughable.

Every person has room for growth, and Hao Jian had grown leaps and bounds since his last clash with Ye Heavenly Mansion.

"Haha! Hao Jian, I thought you were someone worth fearing, but clearly you're a fool to let yourself be ensnared in our Revolving Great Array so carelessly. With your strength, escape is impossible!" Seeing Hao Jian allow the array to be fully formed without resistance, Ye Haozhi chuckled gleefully.

Initially, Ye Haozhi had anticipated using heavy tricks, even prepared to sacrifice his subordinates. Yet, against all expectations, Hao Jian had recklessly let their grand array manifest uninterrupted!

Legendary Hao Jian now seemed underwhelming and overrated...

Shaking his head, Ye Haozhi sneered at Hao Jian, "This is what happens when you fail to recognize the power dynamics. Our offer to let you protect Ye Linglan was generous, yet you rejected it outright."

"And refusing Ye Heavenly Mansion comes with consequences—no one escapes unharmed, not even you, Hao Jian. Now, taste the might of our Revolving Great Array!"........

"Revolving Great Array! Activate!"...

At Ye Haozhi's command, the forty-person formation began spinning at a peculiar rhythm, resembling a wheel of fate, distorting the air with a strange aura.

"The Revolving Great Array of Ye Heavenly Mansion? It's nothing special..." To Hao Jian, this supposedly formidable formation seemed riddled with flaws. Curling his lips in disdain, he stepped forward slightly and swung his hand upwards...

"Clang!"...........

A crisp sound rang out, and as the focus zoomed closer, a yellow-clad figure emerged before Hao Jian. The man held a slender blade, but its handle was firmly gripped by Hao Jian...

"Haha, borrowing your weapon for a moment!"

With his other hand, Hao Jian thrust his palm forward—Qi force swirling violently around his palm. It slammed into the man's chest with a heavy thud, leaving behind a gaping hole...

"Ye Haozhi!"

Grabbing hold of the slender blade, Hao Jian bellowed toward Ye Haozhi with a laugh, "Ye Heavenly Mansion's so-called power means nothing to me! Destroying you would be effortless! Yet you—a so-called Elder—have the audacity to act superior in front of me? Do you really think you're the masters of this world?!"

"Tonight, I'll show you what true disparity looks like!" Hao Jian sneered coldly, "There's a blade, known as 'None.' And this sword technique, my own creation, has never been displayed. Today, you'll serve as my experiment!"

"The essence of the technique lies in its single word—None!"

As his words resounded, Hao Jian's gaze grew sharper, his killing intent thickening by the moment. In the blink of an eye, the aura condensed into countless invisible sword qi, swirling like razor-sharp phantoms near him...

Witnessing Hao Jian's transformation, Ye Haozhi—seated at the head of the conference table—widened his eyes, a sense of foreboding coursing through him...
