Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 331 - 231: Maoshan Paper-cutting Technique (Part 2)

Chapter 331: Chapter 231: Maoshan Paper-cutting Technique (Part 2)

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."

Stone giants crashed onto his shield one after another, causing Wang Hao’s mouth to twitch slightly.

Good grief!

They’re quite heavy!

"Kill!"

Having withstood a wave of stone rain, the Ghost Warrior cast a deep glance at him, then charged at the stone giants with his blade.

Zheng Tai and Li Tie followed closely behind.

Even Chi Lian and Chen Yueling joined the fray.

Though they were women, they didn’t have too many privileges either.

Usually, they could be given a little more care, but at a time like this, they couldn’t continue to daydream.

Wang Hao rolled his eyes, coughed lightly, and put on a pained expression.

As if he’d exerted quite a bit of effort.

But in reality, he did.

That previous downpour of stones was indeed tough to fend off.

For others, the impact alone would have been unbearable.

He wanted to sneak a bit in the rear.

After all, he’s already made his contribution, and others couldn’t say much about it.

Besides, he’s the holder of the shield superpower and is supposed to play a supportive role.

As long as there are no enemies in the rear, it’s fine.

With this thought, he subconsciously glanced backward.

That glance startled him.

There were actually seven or eight stone giants behind, roaring and charging toward him.

Good grief!

He almost forgot.

What those stone giants threw weren’t just ordinary stones, but actual stone giants!

Some had rolled down the mountain, but a few had landed on the road behind.

"Run!"

Wang Hao immediately turned and fled, unexpectedly running up along the mountain wall.

"What kind of maneuver is this?"

In the middle of the battle, Zheng Tai happened to see him and was extremely surprised.

This Wang Hao, he has way too many tricks up his sleeve!

"Roar!"

A stone giant stomped hard on the ground, jumping high and smashing a fist toward Wang Hao.

With a graceful spin, Wang Hao narrowly dodged it, his hand pushing off its back, leveraging the force to heighten his position.

In one swift motion, he threw out an iron egg, which tied around a distant boulder, and he pulled hard to fly over.

"Cousin-in-law, take me with you!"

Chen Yueling jumped up, and Wang Hao turned around and threw another iron egg.

Chen Yueling caught hold of it, and with a firm pull from Wang Hao, she was yanked over.

"Damn!"

Zheng Tai fumed.

He would have liked to call out for Wang Hao to take him, too, but couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Besides, he was a werewolf, his jumping ability was not as good as Chen Yueling’s, nor was he as agile as her.

And his weight was surely much more than Chen Yueling’s.

This maneuver was probably not suitable for him.

"Cousin-in-law, I knew you’re the best, you’d never leave me behind."

Chen Yueling nestled in Wang Hao’s arms, her eyes turning into crescent moons with a smile.

"Are you ready?"

"Huh?"

Chen Yueling was a bit baffled by his out-of-the-blue question.

In the next moment, Wang Hao spun her a few circles and then threw her out.

"Aiya!"

Chen Yueling shrieked, instinctively curling her body into a ball mid-air.

However, she quickly felt her foot grow heavy.

At some point, Wang Hao’s iron egg had actually wrapped around her foot.

With a hard pull from Wang Hao, he followed her.

But this move reduced her momentum, making her tend to fall into the mass of stone giants.

Falling in would mean that even if she wasn’t beaten to death, she’d at least get quite a thrashing!

Wang Hao’s body quickly passed by Chen Yueling’s; he threw another iron egg, wrapping it around a tree up above, and pulled hard.

He pulled both himself and Chen Yueling up.

"So thrilling!"

Landing on the tree, Chen Yueling’s face was flushed red.

This whole series of maneuvers, though it sounded lengthy, happened in just the span of a dozen breaths.

Wang Hao easily took her across the stone giants.

"Cousin-in-law, you’re really amazing! If I didn’t already have a fiancé, I’d want to marry you."

Chen Yueling hugged Wang Hao, full of excitement.

This was way more awesome than acrobatics.

Wang Hao turned to glance at Ghost Warrior and the others.

He hesitated about whether to wait for them.

There was still quite a distance to the next part of the path, who knew if there would be other dangers.

If there were more people, it might be a bit safer.

But if he waited, who knew how long it would take for them to finish the fight.

The stone giants were also charging in this direction.

They would get dragged into the battle as well.

"You go first! Don’t worry, I’ll catch up later."

At this moment, Zheng Tai yelled at the top of his lungs.

Seeing Wang Hao standing on the tree seemingly daydreaming, Zheng Tai assumed he was waiting for him, feeling a warmth in his heart.

From the pride of a man, he shouted those words.

He didn’t want to be a burden to Wang Hao and Chen Yueling.

"Go!"

Wang Hao hurled Chen Yueling forward.

Though he wanted to stay, not because of Zheng Tai, Zheng Tai’s words made him decide.

To go ahead first.

Even if there were dangers ahead, could he alone not handle it?

And they would surely catch up later.

Staying wouldn’t make any sense, it would just be accompanying them in being surrounded by stone giants.

Chen Yueling flipped several times in the air, landed smoothly, and then ran quickly.

Wang Hao also kicked the tree trunk hard, propelling himself forward.

The duo headed toward the palace peak.

Ghost Warrior and the others stopped hesitating.

The power inside Ghost Warrior burst out, slashing a huge black blade light.

The group rushed forward following the blade light.

Zheng Tai and Li Tie defended the flanks, while Chi Lian covered the rear.

Wang Hao’s escape reminded them that they didn’t have to kill all the stone giants.

All they needed to do was carve out a path.

"Top palace!"

After rounding the last corner, the gate of the top palace came into Wang Hao’s view.

It seemed somewhat different from what he remembered.

This Maoshan, he’d been several times before.

A flash of spiritual light passed.

A large number of paper men flew out, transforming into countless sword-wielding disciples.

Once again, the Maoshan Paper-cutting Technique!

But this time, the paper men were entirely different from before.

They had transformed into human form, wearing Taoist robes and crowns, and if Wang Hao hadn’t witnessed their transformation, he would’ve thought they were real humans.

"Huh!"

Chen Yueling turned into a rabbit human, charging to fight them.

Wang Hao also drew two daggers, stepping up to meet them.

As soon as they clashed, he felt overwhelming pressure.

These paper men were using something akin to a sword array.

Their movements were in perfect unison, surrounding and separating Wang Hao and Chen Yueling.

"The battle formation is impressive, but you are too weak."

Wang Hao squinted his eyes slightly, his spiritual power surged, and with a slash, he unleashed a strike.

The paper men in the path of his attack actually cooperated with each other to construct a defensive sword array, tightly holding off his strike.

"Dang...failed to show off."

Wang Hao’s face flushed with embarrassment.

He had underestimated these paper men.

Even though their power was only a fraction due to spiritual qi issues, their sword formation enhanced them.

With their cooperation, they could win by numbers.

The advantage of numbers is never outdated.

Even the finest tiger can’t withstand a pack of wolves!

"It’s a pity!"

At that moment, Wang Hao sighed deeply.

With so many defensive techniques, if they could have been used during the Dark Age, how could Maoshan have been massacred, and those important manuscripts or treasures ruined and lost?

He twisted his wrist, and the Blade of Plunder transformed into a broadsword form.

Spiritual power flowed through it, and he slashed it forward, the Three Talents Sword Array formed by three paper men erected a triangular spiritual shield.

However, before the Blade of Plunder empowered by spiritual power, it was like mere paper.

With one slash, Wang Hao shattered their paper shield and annihilated them.

"Hey!"

Chen Yueling also punched a paper man flying, leveraging a backflip, landing by Wang Hao’s side, back to back.

"It’s really odd; these paper men, though lifeless, seem so alive, and their swordsmanship is so refined. Could there be some spirits dwelling inside them?"

"Spirits?"

Hearing the word spirit, Wang Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Yueling indeed reminded him.
