Chapter 229: Chapter 229: You Are Not Worthy to Use a Knife

“How dare you disrupt his coronation ‘ceremony’!”

Luo Qicai sternly looked at Shi Hao, his body covered with forceful energy, as if there was an invisible barrier around him, impervious to raindrops.

With a shake of his right hand, he suddenly had a blade in it.

Ah, a Spatial Spirit Tool.

Shi Hao’s eyes lit up. Even in the Southern Fire Continent, Spatial Spirit Tools were rare treasures, scarcely owned by anyone. Unexpectedly, this person had one.

It was evident that Luo Qicai was highly favored by Luo Haodian; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have been granted a Spatial Spirit Tool.

Of course, it was also possible that Luo Qicai had obtained the Spatial Spirit Tool himself, but the likelihood was pitifully small.

Hum, a Rune on the blade emitted light, and instantly the edge of the blade was enveloped in a layer of silver light, radiating a sharp, cold radiance.

A Spiritual Artifact.

Zhenwu Sect really was wealthy and powerful, Luo Qicai actually had two Spiritual Artifacts on him—although one wasn’t a weapon.

“Die!” Luo Qicai shouted loudly, charging towards Shi Hao.

Whoosh, a slash passed, and the heavy rain was also split by the blade’s edge.

Terrifying indeed!

Part of this was Luo Qicai’s own strength, while the other part was the power of the Spiritual Artifact itself.

Blade energy turned into a silver cold light, slashing towards Shi Hao.

Dark Force?

No, Luo Qicai was certainly not qualified enough to unleash Dark Force, it was all the might of this Spiritual Artifact.

Shi Hao concentrated power into his fist, striking towards the blade energy.

Bang, the blade energy shattered, but Shi Hao’s hand was also oozing fresh blood.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but nod; this blade was truly remarkable, its blade energy even managed to tear through his defense. It was indeed formidable.

But Luo Qicai was even more shocked because he knew that the blade in his hand was a three-star Spiritual Artifact, capable of releasing blade energy, similar to Dark Force. Hence, even though it was just blade energy, its strength was not much less than a direct slash.

Shi Hao had taken this attack head-on, believing that the opponent’s hand would definitely break or, at the very least, be torn open with blood spewing out.

Yet, there was only a shallow wound, which he found unacceptable.

How formidable was this guy’s physical strength?

However, if you can block one slash, what about ten slashes, a hundred, a thousand?

In the end, you will be slashed to death alive.

Luo Qicai attacked again, his blade light blazing like wildfire.

Shi Hao executed Cloud Piercing Step, his figure accelerating, easily dodging the blade energy.

“You think you can live when I want you dead?” Luo Qicai sneered coldly; all he needed to do was to wave his blade from afar, and the blade energy would slash out, as if he stood on invincible ground.

“Is that so?” Shi Hao smiled, his speed increasing once again.

What?

Luo Qicai was greatly surprised—today, he didn’t know how many times he had been shocked already. The opponent’s speed had already surpassed an ordinary Soul Nurturing realm by a lot, and yet he could still accelerate further?

How is that possible?

He quickly retreated; the opponent’s speed was so fast it could compare with an Other Shore expert. He had to make use of the space created by his retreat to have enough time to swing his blade and keep up with Shi Hao’s speed.

“You also dare to use a blade!” Shi Hao brandished his blade, immediately activating the Magnetic Rune.

Suddenly, Luo Qicai felt a great force pulling at him, his blade’s trajectory was severely disrupted, completely losing its aim and slashing aimlessly.

Shi Hao was already upon him; the Magnetic Rune extinguished, the Weight Reducing Rune shone, as he madly slashed with incredible speed.

In that instant, a thought crossed Luo Qicai’s mind—his opponent must also be a scion of a Great Sect; otherwise, how could he possess such profound capabilities?

But which sect did the opponent come from, and why was he targeting him?

As Ninefold Mountain slashed down, he hurriedly raised his blade to parry.

Ding!

A clear, crisp sound rang out as Ninefold Mountain already cleaved downward, and an astonishing scene unfolded—Luo Qicai’s blade was actually split in two!

The Ninefold Mountain continued its descent almost unaffected, with the added weight of two hundred thousand pounds, making the blade both fast and heavy.

“No—,” Luo Qicai bellowed, but he could only spit out a single syllable before his body was bisected at the waist by the Ninefold Mountain.

His roar abruptly ceased, his face still etched with shock and confusion.

Who was this person who had killed him?

Hiss, the entire place was filled with the sound of people sharply inhaling.

Luo Qicai had actually been slain!

Who could believe it?

However, many in the crowd cheered inwardly.

What was Luo Qicai?

He had only been here a few days and had already defiled how many innocent girls?

He deserved to die!

Shi Hao sheathed his blade and immediately took off.

“Audacious, you think you can escape?” A cold laugh sounded as someone from the Other Shore Realm leaped forth, face filled with murderous intent.

Although the battle had been at a stalemate, Luo Qicai seemed to be holding his own. Therefore, he had just been sitting on the high platform to avoid the rain, not expecting the situation to change in an instant, with Shi Hao summarily executing Luo Qicai.

That was a member of Zhenwu Sect, no less than the great-grandson of the Second Elder, now dead in Sanyuan City—what kind of storm would this stir up?

In any case, they, as members of the Other Shore Realm, would face severe punishment.

Now, if he let Shi Hao escape as well, he would truly need to wait for the people from Zhenwu Sect to come and take his head.

However, Shi Hao deployed the Cloud Piercing Step, moving with incredible speed, and the pursuer could only maintain not losing him entirely.

Yet the city’s layout was complex, and the torrential rain severely impaired visibility, so after only a short period, the Other Shore Realm pursuer had to stop, disheartened.

The person was lost.

“Ahh!” He bellowed toward the sky, his robust power surging upward, causing even the surrounding rainwater to reverse its course toward the heavens.

…

After making a round outside, Shi Hao quietly returned to Pill City, removed his bamboo hat, and who would have thought that the mysterious prodigy who had slain Luo Qicai was this ‘useless’ person?

The rain ceased, the clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly.

“It’s about time to go to Zhenwu Sect,” Shi Hao murmured. The resources of Sanyuan City naturally could not compare with those of a sect.

So, even if not for seeking revenge from Lu Yun, simply for cultivation, Zhenwu Sect was a better choice.

Shi Hao called Xiao Hei over and assigned him a task.

“Okay,” Xiao Hei nodded, not asking why, and left straight away.

Then, Shi Hao went to say goodbye to Qi Yingpeng.

“Young Master Shi, you’re leaving so soon?” Qi Yingpeng was very reluctant. Shi Hao’s level of proficiency in Alchemy Dao was extremely high; his occasional guidance had greatly improved Qi’s own skills. By his estimates, he might have a chance to break through to a five-star Pill Master within three years.

Shi Hao smiled, “There are no banquets that never end, if fate allows, we will meet again.”

“Yes,” Qi Yingpeng understood that Sanyuan City was too small to allow Shi Hao to fully unfold his abilities; it was merely a resting point on the other’s legendary journey.

Shi Hao, accompanied by the big yellow dog, hit the road, and Su Manman, of course, followed along, seemingly sticking to Shi Hao.

“Eh, you really don’t need to go back home?” Shi Hao asked.

“What, I ate some of your things, you’re annoyed with me?” Su Manman put down the roasted meat she was holding and glared at him with her eyes.

Even though her stunningly beautiful face was hidden, her eyes remained unchanged—distinctly black and white, exceptionally captivating.

Seeing Su Manman confronting Shi Hao, the big yellow dog couldn’t help but burst into mindless laughter.

Snap, its laughter quickly turned to sorrow, as it was kicked flying by Shi Hao’s foot.
