Chapter 687: Slaughter (IV)

He seemed to take great offense to the descriptor. Blood qi shook heaven and earth as he sneered, “When has it ever been the nine ministries’ turn to interfere in Night Watcher business? When has it ever been your place to stick your nose in things, Hu Xiao? Where is your respect for me?!

“I can’t be bothered with that trash, that dog Yellow Dragon. He jumps up and down with a lot of energy, but died too quickly. Otherwise, I would’ve let him know that not everyone can stick their hands into the Night Watchers!”

He punched out with the howl of a dragon!

“Kill!”

BAM!

Blood qi shook the world as Yao Si’s face flushed red. Hu Xiao’s eyes widened as he flung out a palm strike. Chains appeared in the void and snaked toward the Night Watcher director.

“Give it up, Yao Si!”

“You’re the one who should quit life!”

BOOM!

Reverberations shook all of the nearby houses to pieces. Thankfully, no one was inside them given Li Hao’s announcement yesterday. Yao Si had chosen to act! Not only that, but he roared angrily, “Any Night Watchers that still listen to me—kill all of the traitors!”

Some of the deputy directors, as well as Big Eyes and her cohorts, brightened when the director took to the field. Yao Si was here!

This old director of theirs had been frightfully quiet these five years. Everyone thought that he’d settled into hibernation, so to think that he would take action today! Although this gave an additional Arcanus to their side, the odds still didn’t seem that good. They were just a bit better than before.

That Yao Si had stopped the strongest of the other side—Hu Xiao—as soon as he stirred into action sent waves of shock through the assembly. The old guard was certainly strong!

Li Hao was also surprised from his position on the ground, but abruptly smiled. He looked at the four corners and suddenly felt that... this was just as good. It was fine that they’d all come! It didn’t feel as terrifying as it might have been.

Hou Xiaochen roared with fury as he fought two Arcanus by himself, forcing them back in an unprecedented display of battle strength. The remaining two Arcanus charged Li Hao without hesitation. One of them was the director of the Myriad Spirit Division from the Ministry of Foreign Relations, the other was the deputy minister from the Ministry of Commerce.

Both of them were Arcanus and ignored the others on the battlefield. Their target was Li Hao!

Within the trio of perverse Night Watcher geniuses, Spear shouted at the sight, “Kill!”

He rushed forward with his weapon, a mantis seeking to stop a chariot! However, he couldn’t resist the urge to strike. Even Yao Si had shown himself. This battle held the potential to draw out even more powerhouses as reinforcements so long as Li Hao didn’t die.

There would always be someone to take a stand for justice!

“Ole Spear!” called out Big Eyes. She cursed as her eyes turned bloodshot. A faint current of mysterious power rippled from them. The area around Li Hao seemed to turn into nothing and disappear.

Longsword was close behind his comrade and smashed his weapon down on the two Arcanus, cursing Spear as he did so. The guy had gone crazy!

......

Li Hao ignored all of the happenings. The silver armor on his body suddenly vanished. Since everyone who was supposed to be here was present and those who were supposed to make a move had done so, he didn’t want to think too much. He dismissed the armor and looked at the sky.

Storm clouds abruptly gathered overhead; lightning flashed and thunder roared. Gale winds rose, thunder and lightning exploded with a rumble!

A downpour seemed ready for action as winds churned through the scene, whipping sand everywhere. Even the projection screens were obscured as everyone in the city sensed the day darken before their eyes. The two Arcanus, irritated by the actions of these insignificant ants, abruptly jerked their heads upward!

A bolt of purple lightning had materialized in the sky. What was this, another Arcanus? From where? How were there more?

As confusion and doubt brewed in various minds, Li Hao disappeared. No one saw how the young man vanished. The premises sank into a dark gloom as wind and thunder fought for supremacy. Only lightning was visible as it flashed through the sky.

The two Arcanus with unstable cultivation levels were on high alert. In the next moment, the fiercely battling Hu Xiao widened his eyes and opened his mouth to call out a warning. His heart palpitated with fear!

KABOOM!

Thunder and lightning exploded, deafening the ear. The entire city seemed to have exploded!

“Hu Xiao, the old minister of the Ministry of the Judiciary, established our laws, but violates them himself. He should be put to death!” A cold voice echoed beneath the heavens. “Wind and thunder have come, he will be baptized by thunder and lightning!”

RUMBLE!

Thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning descended. Incomparable presences appeared within the city as various current ministers and old ministers rose into the air! They were all highly dismayed!

Yuan Shuo was jumping around and cursing hotly in the distance when he suddenly paused. The Chu River King sent him flying with a slap, but it was like he felt no pain despite the blood streaming from his mouth. His eyes opened wide as he looked behind him!

“Supernatural...” he murmured. Supernatural... My disciple... is a supernatural? How is my disciple a supernatural??

Fighting on all sides suddenly stopped; everyone peered through the lightning to see a giant that resembled a god of lightning standing inside.

Li Hao was not using his sword. He stepped through the void with the Windchaser Boots and appeared in front of Hu Xiao so quickly that it seemed like he’d teleported. He ignored the other two Arcanus and set his sights on Hu Xiao.

It took only a split second for the young man to reappear. A massive fist of thunder and lightning rose without a word and slammed down on Hu Xiao. The latter was exchanging blows with Yao Si—he roared with fury and sent out a dragon of fire, but it was instantly dissipated by the punch!

Thunder and lightning split open!

Li Hao’s arm seemed to be an iron band as it looped around Hu Xiao’s neck. Flames erupted with a roar and a mountain exploded—earth and fire energy from a stable cultivation detonated over Li Hao’s body. The young man suffered numerous flesh wounds, but he remained unmoved.

Was it terrifying to be injured?

Not at all!

Creak! He smashed a fist down, his arm still around the other’s neck. Bam!

The earth armor shattered! Another fist, and another! He rained down thousands of punches in a single moment. Hu Xiao spewed out blood as he screamed with outrage, “Li Hao!”

A middle-aged man broke through the air from the city. “Don’t you dare, Li Hao!”

Boom!

Thunder and lightning exploded again as Li Hao lifted Hu Xiao up with the arm around his neck.

“Today, I execute one of the founders of the nine ministries, Hu Xiao of the Ministry of the Judiciary!” A cold shout resonated in the four directions as a fist slammed into the other’s face!

Endless mysterious power erupted as Hu Xiao howled. His organs were rupturing, but he could not block that fist. All of the supernatural defenses in his face broke.

BOOM!

His head exploded!

Li Hao tossed away the headless corpse and moved so quickly it was like he’d teleported again. He vanished on the spot, disappearing as a bolt of lighting racing across the void. The people didn’t have a chance to react before the old duke suppressing Thunderleg jerked with surprise.

How was this possible?!

The thought had just formed in his mind when a person appeared in front of him. Li Hao seemed to have broken straight through the void to appear in front of him. The young man didn’t say much because Thunderleg was weaker and almost being beaten to death. Li Hao came here first to punch again and again!

His fists of wind and thunder were too fast! Not only that, but he seemed to blast straight through all of the mysterious power in his surroundings. He was too fast as he was of the wind and thunder attribute. The wind attribute mapped to speed to begin with, not to mention he was wearing the Windchaser Boots.

The old duke attempted to withstand the assault with a mixture of fire and water. But since Hu Xiao couldn’t defy the onslaught, how could the old duke prove up to the task?

Li Hao delivered one hundred punches at once!

BOOM!

A massive hole gaped in his chest as the old duke couldn’t believe his eyes. He stared at Li Hao, his organs completely beaten to a pulp.

“You’re... you’re an Arcanus...”

Aren’t you a martial master?

“I must thank you all for helping me see through a lot of things!” Li Hao smiled and crushed his head with a loud crack. The young man casually tossed the corpse into a nearby river and disappeared again.

“Hurry and kill him!” someone roared in the distance.

Boom!

Several Arcanus within the city immediately shot at Li Hao. Li Hao was an Arcanus!

......

The young man vanished amid gale winds. When he next reappeared, he was in front of two fleeing Arcanus—the ones from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce. They wanted to run, but Yao Si beat one of them down. When he sought to bring down the other one, he cursed to himself!

A foot as large as a mountain descended and stepped on the other fleeing Arcanus, smashing him to bits!

Everyone in the battlefield gaped with astonishment! It was one thing for Li Hao to be an Arcanus, but his cultivation level was clearly highly stable and his body formidable. With the Windchaser Boots at hand, his speed was also incredible!

The sight stunned all participants, but they were able to be more at ease in the next moment. Several figures appeared next to the young man—all old men with white hair. Each of them were uncommonly grave as they looked incredulously at Li Hao.
