Hu Long was in a panic and hurriedly exerted all his strength to resist.

"Zhu Haotian, help me!" he shouted, fearing that his strength alone was inadequate to hold his ground.

Zhu Haotian naturally understood the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"—although Hu Long’s combat power was far from adequate to be an asset, he was nonetheless a companion for now, and certainly could not be left to perish.

Thus, he immediately strived with all his might, launching a beam of light toward Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled, activated Instantaneous Movement, and appeared behind Hu Long.

Hu Long, deeply fearful, yet being a descendant of an Immortal King, did not react slowly. Though startled, he did not panic, and immediately swung a sword in counterattack.

Clang!

The clash of sword and blade produced a deafening sound that could burst eardrums. Hu Long, though sent flying, was not severed in two.

A wave of relief washed over Hu Long, but before he could express joy, an iron fist came rushing at him.

This punch was one he could no longer block; being airborne, he could only brace his body to take the blow.

He gathered all his strength at his head, forming a strong defense.

Bang!

The punch landed, and his head was immediately shattered, the lifeless body still propelled by momentum.

Hiss!

Witnessing this scene filled everyone with dread.

A descendant of an Immortal King, so easily dealt with.

One punch to kill, leaving not an intact corpse.

Shi Hao, truly a slayer of Immortal King descendants.

Many felt fortunate in their hearts, glad they hadn’t challenged Shi Hao, or it might have been them lying dead now. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

This harbinger of calamity held no reverence or concern.

Shi Hao withdrew his fist, his expression cold, his grim eyes turning toward Zhu Haotian, pointing his long blade directly at him.

Even Zhu Haotian, whose strength was not inferior to Shi Hao’s, felt a chill.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t dare to kill an Immortal King descendant so recklessly.

Only Shi Hao, having offended so many Immortal Kings, could strike without any scruples. Were it another Immortal King descendant, he’d at most defeat them, nowhere daring to kill.

"You truly are audacious, having killed yet another Immortal King heir!" Zhu Haotian quickly regained composure, refusing to lose his aura.

Shi Hao chuckled, "No rush, I’ll kill one more."

His gaze fixed on Zhu Haotian, the meaning clear.

Zhu Haotian showed anger; they were both Immortal King descendants, and he had already reached twelve stars, a genius among geniuses. Why was Shi Hao so arrogant?

If not for Xuanbing Xianwang being overly protective, did he think he could wield an Immortal King Artifact and suppress his Phantom Sun Divine Mirror?

"Fine, I’m waiting!" Zhu Haotian said proudly.

Shi Hao merely smiled slightly. It was unrealistic to kill Zhu Haotian here, given their similar combat strengths, and if Zhu Haotian couldn’t match him, escaping the City of the Dead would give him the protection of the Jade Immortals outside.

To kill someone of comparable strength amidst Jade Immortal attacks was folly.

Thus, he wouldn’t waste effort here.

"It won’t be long," Shi Hao said calmly, ignoring Zhu Haotian, and headed straight for the exit.

"Halt there!" Zhu Haotian shouted, trying to impede Shi Hao.

However, how could he possibly manage that?

Shi Hao left the City of the Dead, immediately activating the token.

Of course, he was prepared; should it not be Illusionary Sea Immortal King’s item, failing to transport him to the Summit of the Stars, he’d instantly utilize Instantaneous Movement to evade the Jade Immortal pursuit outside.

"Shi Hao!" outside, Shi Quanyun and other Jade Immortals shouted, immediately attacking Shi Hao.

Buzz!

A brilliant flash occurred, unexpectedly propelling Shi Hao into the sky at an astonishing speed.

This speed surpassed Jade Immortal’s attacks; before they struck, he had already broken through the circle.

Everyone was stupefied; what was happening?

"Not good, the brat has the Immortal King Token!" one quick-thinking person cried out.

Damn!

All showed unwillingness; Shi Hao actually succeeded?

After all their efforts, was this all in vain?

The four Xia Family Jade Immortals and two from the Kuanglang Sect were anxious, why?

Simple, Shi Hao having the Illusionary Sea Immortal King’s token meant he was the Su Family’s son-in-law.

And they were pursuing the Su Family’s son-in-law. If the Illusionary Sea Immortal King learned of this, what furious retribution would they face?

Indeed, they were descendants of former Immortal Kings; typically, Illusionary Sea Immortal King would show some leniency. But now was different; they were chasing the man’s son-in-law!

They could only hope... Illusionary Sea Immortal King was lenient, after all, when they pursued Shi Hao, he wasn’t yet the Summit of the Stars’ esteemed son-in-law.

Alas, why did it have to be Shi Hao?

Were all other Immortal King descendants simply worthless?

Regardless of others’ thoughts, Shi Hao flew skyward at astounding speed, quickly reaching an unattainable height even for Jade Immortals. Yet his speed did not decline, a force enveloped him against the lethal environment here.

After a while, a floating island appeared ahead.

Having been to the Summit of the Stars, Shi Hao easily recognized his destination.

He decelerated, landing steadily on the super-sized floating island.

"Young man, follow me!" a beautiful woman approached, addressing Shi Hao.

Shi Hao nodded and asked, "Miss, what should I call you?"

She covered her mouth, laughing, "Are you sure you want to call me ’Miss’?"

Seeing Shi Hao’s hesitation, she didn’t conceal it, saying, "I am, indeed, Manman’s aunt!"

Eh, this is Illusionary Sea Immortal King’s sister?

Shi Hao grinned, amazed. No wonder she questioned him; otherwise, wouldn’t he be on par with Illusionary Sea Immortal King?

He awkwardly smiled, saying, "Ignorance is innocent, I didn’t expect the aunt to be so youthful and beautiful!"

Praise be, young man’s tongue is sure sweet, no wonder my dear Manman was smitten!" she laughed heartily, her form undulating in mirth.

Shi Hao remained focused; naturally not lustful, and here he was especially cautious.

The woman noted Shi Hao’s reaction, nodding slightly.

"Young man, follow me," she said, leading the way.

Thinking of seeing Su Manman soon, Shi Hao felt excited, his steps quicker.

I’m here to marry you!
