Chapter 704: The Heterodox Evil Faction
"If you don't want to die, get lost!"
Such arrogance! As soon as these words left the young man's mouth, everyone present suddenly felt a surge of anger rushing from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
Who do they think they are? Wang Hao is already recognized as a Master, and Fang Huai De is even the Great Elder of the Fang family, and yet this young man dares to tell them to get lost if they don't want to die?!
"Your tone is quite bold, but I don't know about your actual strength," Wang Hao sneered, and suddenly charged forward. He had thought that the other party was just an ordinary person at most, so he only used a fraction of his power.
But when he charged forward, a burst of white mist exploded from the young man's body, actually bouncing him back!
What the hell? What was that white mist just now?!
"Something's fishy!" Wang Hao became serious this time, stopping the restless crowd and said solemnly, "Who exactly are you?"
Speaking of which, although Wang Hao was surprised, the young man was even more astonished!
"I didn't see that coming, haha!" The young man's excitement was obvious as he burst into laughter, "It's really not easy to meet someone with a bit of strength today! I really want to see who you are!"
With those words, he clenched his fist fiercely, and a milky white mist burst forth from his body!
The mist was so thick it almost looked like flowing water and formed a faint armor around his body!
"Holy shit, what's going on?!" Wang Hao couldn't help but blurt out a swear. The white mist swirling around the young man might be unrecognizable to others, but Wang Hao was all too familiar with it; it looked almost identical to the black mist he possessed, except for the color!
"Hahaha! How is my Gang Qi Armor, not bad, right?" The young man laughed proudly and then looked at Wang Hao and the others with a cold voice, "Since you all have seen it, then what comes next... don't blame me!"
"What, you still want to kill someone?" Seeing that the other party had actually used the white mist armor, Wang Hao, for the sake of everyone's safety, had no choice but to go all out too!
"Shhhhh!" Black smoke sprayed from every pore on Wang Hao's body, and in a blink of an eye, he was enveloped in black mist armor. Wang Hao looked at the young man and sneered, "You thought you were the only one who had it?"
At that moment, one black and one white, two figures in nearly identical states faced each other.
Everyone around was utterly dumbfounded by the scene before them.
"What the actual fuck is going on here?! Who the hell is this young man?"
"A suit of white mist armor, this is mad…"
"Brother Hao, what the hell is happening here? I'm totally lost?!"
Not only were these people confused, but the young man was also completely stunned. He stared blankly at Wang Hao then suddenly yelled, "This is impossible! How could you also have Gang Qi Armor?! Why is your armor black?!"
Wang Hao: "..."
I want to ask you the same thing, what's the deal with your white armor?!
Of course, although he was surprised on the inside, he couldn't show it on the outside. Wang Hao chuckled, "You don't understand, do you? My armor has a name; it's called the Qi Gang Battle Armor. It's on a whole other level compared to your Gang Qi Armor! What was it that you wanted to do just now? Let's go ahead and see who's better?"
"Playing tricks!" The young man gritted his teeth, and suddenly lunged forward, launching a punch at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao's physical condition had long surpassed the limits of Earth humans; his combined abilities were on par with Captain America, so why fear him? He immediately swung his fist and smashed it forward.
"Boom!"
A deep, muffled sound erupted, and an almost visible shockwave exploded, causing a fierce wind to suddenly whip up around them.
"Boom boom boom—!!!" Under Wang Hao's punch, the young man's body was thrown backward, smashing through three or four walls and instantly turning the courtyard into ruins, with the sound of collapsing walls making everyone's teeth ache.
"I told you yours wasn't good enough," Wang Hao chuckled and walked forward, saying as he walked, "Kid, who are you really? Where are you from? Spill it, I'm not in a great mood today and you won't like it if you don't make things clear!"
Under the broken walls and ruins, the young man struggled to his feet, his face filled with disbelief, staring harshly at Wang Hao, "I can't believe I'm no match for you head-on. Who the hell are you?!"
Come on, I'm the one asking you, all right?!
"Isn't that my line?" Wang Hao approached the young man and said, "Don't you think that's a question only the victor should ask?"
"Victor? Hmph, that's not necessarily so!" The young man suddenly burst into laughter, then hastily retreated backward, saying, "I'll remember today's encounter. The green hills won't change, the clear waters will flow forever. We shall meet again!"
With that, he ran off, easily covering more than ten meters with a single leap, like a great bird, and disappeared into the mountains in the blink of an eye.
The crowd that had been watching all along: "..."
Once the scene had completely quieted down, the crowd exploded into chatter.
"What on Earth was that just now?!"
"What's going on?! Who was that guy, leaping tens of meters in a single bound? Damn!"
"Is that even human?!"
People were buzzing with discussion, one after another, they were about to boil over!
Encountering such a character in such deep mountains and forests, no one could figure out what was going on.
"Brother Hao, are you okay?" Fang Wenbin looked around cautiously, then timidly asked, "That attack just now was pretty close. No issues, right? Who on Earth was that guy? He's pretty much... cough cough... on par with you!"
"To be honest, I don't know either," Wang Hao helplessly shrugged and said, "Don't dwell on it too much. Let's break his formation first." Saying this, he stepped forward and kicked the dried well flat, breaking the sinister formation before saying, "Let's go. We'll head back first, and I'll explain about that guy when we return.."
Everyone looked at each other, clueless about what had just happened. But since Wang Hao had said so, they naturally followed his lead.
So the group made their way back along the path.
After returning to the village for a meal and a wash, they quickly gathered at the place where Wang Hao was staying, waiting for his explanation.
"Little Haozi, what on Earth was going on with that guy just now?" Fang Huai De was the most concerned, having encountered such a thing in his own home, and urged anxiously, "Hurry up and tell me, I'm about to die of curiosity!"
"Well," Wang Hao sat on the couch, took a deep breath, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that guy just now was definitely one of the Evil Faction among Feng Shui Masters."
The Evil Faction among Feng Shui Masters?!
"Brother Hao," hearing this, Fang Wenbin immediately asked cautiously, "This Evil Faction you're talking about is..."
"Let me put it simply," Wang Hao began to explain to everyone, "A long time ago, I came across some related materials and got to know a little about this Evil Faction. You all know the main purpose of a Feng Shui Master is to adjust people's fortunes, to turn the bad into good, right? So, on this Earth, if there's good, there's naturally bad too. Some people want to strengthen their fortunes using Feng Shui, and naturally, there are those who use Feng Shui to harm others' fortunes. I encountered this once in Jinhua when someone buried a White Tiger Talisman next to someone's home, almost destroying that family!"
"My God, there's actually such a faction?!" Zhang Chu exclaimed, "To use Feng Shui as a tool for harming others, their hearts deserve to be condemned!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Exactly, who would do such a harmful thing?"
"Little Haozi, what do you think was the purpose of that person performing rituals just now?" Fang Huai De pondered and asked, "What was he up to?"
This was what everyone was curious about, waiting for Wang Hao to explain.
"The intention was certainly malicious. As for the exact purpose," Wang Hao stroked his chin and said, "I took a close look just now, and I'm not sure what was going on with that dried well before, but after his modification, it turned into a Yin Formation. This formation can absorb the yin energy between heaven and earth. The more yin energy it absorbs, the more harmful it becomes, ultimately having a devastating impact on the fortune of the entire village."
Those guys were indeed no good, and Fang Wenbin was still feeling a bit afraid, "Brother Hao, I'm not too concerned about the rest, but it's not normal that this guy was unscathed by your move just now..."
"Indeed, it's not normal, but I don't have any clarity on it," Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Actually, it was a coincidence that we encountered him today. It's hard to say who his initial target was. In any case, everyone should be more careful in the future. I have a feeling there's more to this."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, "Right, right, right, it's best to be cautious!"
Though the incident was filled with mysteries, it was an unexpected event and merely a chance encounter. So everyone didn't take it too seriously, and soon enough, those who needed to leave did so. Before long, only Wang Hao, Bai Yaning, and Fang Wenbin were left in the room.
"Brother Hao, let's not talk about what just happened," Fang Wenbin said in a low voice once he saw they were alone, "Things here are almost wrapped up. Once we return, we'll have to prepare for the clan leader competition. Do you have any good strategies?"
For Fang Wenbin, the Evil Faction of Feng Shui wasn't significant; the real key issue was the upcoming competition for the future Clan Leader of the Fang family.
"Hmm, it's too early to say," Wang Hao pondered for a moment, then looked at him and asked, "Mainly because I don't know much about your family clan's affairs. What conditions and principles are there for this clan leader competition? You need to fill me in on that."
Indeed, that was important. Fang Wenbin carefully phrased his explanation and then said, "Alright, I'll explain the details to you now."
