Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 849: Straying

Shi Hao whispered something to Weng Nanqing, and she nodded immediately, turning around to run.

——Shi Hao didn’t want to expose the secret of the Immortal Abode, so he let Weng Nanqing go first.

He knew that the target of that Ascending to Saint Position was himself, and it was impossible for him to split attention to chase Weng Nanqing.

Sure enough, although that Ascending to Saint Position glanced at Weng Nanqing, he had no intention of pursuing her.

Trying to sacrifice your woman to lure him away?

Heh, so naive.

"Asura, playing such tricks in front of me, truly clueless!" the Ascending to Saint Position powerhouse said indifferently, "Now, surrender yourself!"

"And who are you supposed to be?" Shi Hao laughed.

The Ascending to Saint Position powerhouse snorted, "I am Tao Yangbo!"

As he said this, he also launched an attack towards Shi Hao.

BOOM, the power surged violently, indescribably terrifying.

This was after all an Ascending to Saint Position!

Shi Hao immediately judged in his heart that the opponent was not a one-step Ascending to Saint Position, but a two-step!

——With Shi Feng as a reference, it wasn’t difficult for Shi Hao to determine the realm of the Ascending to Saint Position.

However, Shi Feng was a prodigy, able to fight across more than one small realm, his true combat power closing in on five steps, while this Tao Yangbo’s realm and combat power were equivalent, both at two sacrifices.

A fight it can be.

Shi Hao said in his heart, wrapping himself with the Galactic Dharma Form, and moved to meet Tao Yangbo.

BOOM!

With one strike, Shi Hao was immediately sent flying, the star river shattered, but as he landed, he made a quick turn and stood firmly.

Hiss, the power of two-step Ascending to Saint Position was still too strong, even though Shi Hao was already very cautious, using the Galactic Dharma Form, he still collapsed with one hit, fortunately, his physical body was too robust to be injured.

Seeing this result, Tao Yangbo was also taken aback, with a flicker of dread in his eyes.

This young man was too terrifying!

But he immediately felt intense killing intent; since this was the case, he definitely had to capture Shi Hao and crush him.

He couldn’t afford to leave any future trouble.

"Die!" he continued striking, his eyes flickering with greed.

This young man couldn’t have grown so strong out of nowhere, so what if he could uncover the opponent’s secret and apply it to himself?

Shi Hao sighed, having initially thought he could contend with an Ascending to Saint Position, but he still underestimated the power gap between high realms.

He might barely contend with a one-step Ascending to Saint Position, but for two steps... it was too difficult.

There was no way; he was still at four sacrifices. If he could step further, reaching five, six, or even seven or eight sacrifices, not only could he contend against Ascending to Saint Position, he might even slay lower-ranked ones.

He released the nebula mist, maneuvering around Tao Yangbo.

"Hmm?" Tao Yangbo seemed somewhat surprised, not expecting Shi Hao to have this move, affecting both his domain and ocular power.

But it was only for a moment, and he calmed down quickly.

The impact was limited!

He just spent some effort to lock back onto Shi Hao and struck out towards him.

Shi Hao summoned the Stone Sphere Dharma Appearance and struck toward Tao Yangbo.

BOOM!

Tao Yangbo was exceedingly strong, his palm struck out, hitting the Stone Sphere.

Instantly, the Stone Sphere was sent flying, but it was unharmed.

This thing was incredibly sturdy; wanting to shatter it would require someone at Heaven Connecting Road level, at least.

Tao Yangbo showed slight surprise but paid it no mind; his target was Shi Hao.

He relentlessly pursued, determined to capture Shi Hao.

Shi Hao maneuvered and, even though he used the Primordial Scripture to greatly neutralize the opponent’s attacks, the realm and strength gap was too vast. He was still on the brink of collapse, hovering on the edge.

However, Shi Hao’s resilience was too strong, constantly holding his ground.

This moved Tao Yangbo, how could there be such an extraordinary Great Sacrificial Heaven?

This was defying the heavens!

After another dozen rounds, Shi Hao decisively turned and ran.

The strength gap was too vast, and it was meaningless to continue fighting.

"Trying to run?" Tao Yangbo sneered, something he would absolutely not allow to happen.

He launched a pursuit. In his view, having the crushing advantage of a whole great realm, he should easily catch up to Shi Hao.

However, that wasn’t the case.

Shi Hao not only moved smoothly as a thief but was also exceptionally fast, making Tao Yangbo’s pursuit extremely strenuous.

Of course, in terms of speed, he was a notch faster.

He gradually closed the distance, but Shi Hao repeatedly attacked, forcing him to fend off and inevitably slowing down, while Shi Hao could use the shock waves to accelerate.

This ebb and flow made the chase incredibly deadlocked.

Shi Hao took off, the world was vast, allowing him to roam freely.

He didn’t want to involve the innocent, so he chose to travel through deep mountains and desolate areas.

Huh?

He paused slightly because he sensed a large number of life forces ahead.

——But one must know, the area ahead was a forest, so there should have been few people there.

Judging from these life forces, they weren’t beasts but humans.

However, with someone pursuing him, Shi Hao didn’t think much at the moment, charging straight through.

"How bold, daring to intrude on the Grand Nether Kingdom!" a shouting voice resounded, and swish, an arrow shot at him.

This arrow was so fast it exceeded the speed of sound; it wasn’t until Shi Hao dodged sideways that the sound reached his ears.

At this time, Tao Yangbo also caught up; he was a bit dazed, what was going on?

In a moment, figures emerged from the forest, surrounding Shi Hao and Tao Yangbo.

There were powerful sacrificial ones and ascending saints, but they were all women, including white-haired old women and middle-aged women.

Tao Yangbo frowned, clasped his hands in courtesy, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Tao Yangbo, and I entered mistakenly while pursuing this person! Once I capture him, I’ll leave, so please make it convenient for me."

"Audacious, intruding into our Grand Nether Kingdom and still daring to make demands?" an elderly lady who was an Ascending to Saint Position sneered, raising her cane to attack Tao Yangbo.

These women were utterly unreasonable, attacking in groups immediately. Four Ascending to Saint Position jointly battled Tao Yangbo, while seven great sacrificial forces attacked Shi Hao.

With Shi Hao’s ability, he could easily defeat the seven great sacrificial ones with a single strike, but doing so would surely have the Grand Nether Kingdom mobilize Ascending to Saint Position against him, possibly even Heaven Connecting Road powerhouses.

Why do that?

Shi Hao kept a low profile, deliberately pretending to be overwhelmed by the seven great sacrificial ones, while watching how Tao Yangbo resolved his predicament.

Tao Yangbo, being able to reach two-step Ascending to Saint Position, naturally possessed formidable strength and had prospects of stepping into Heaven Connecting Road in the future. However, he faced four opponents: though one was a one-step Ascending to Saint Position, two were two-steps, and the last was even a three-step!

In a one-on-one scenario, Tao Yangbo could suppress one of them, but facing a three-step Ascending to Saint Position would leave him troubled, let alone dealing with all four simultaneously.

He immediately fell into a disadvantage.
