Chapter 111: Murderous Intent in the Dark
Atop a certain skyscraper.
A person clad in black spoke with a hoarse voice, "Manager Wang, the young master is about to encounter an assault from the Tang Sect. The enemy is powerful, with one at the Great Perfection Mastery Level and another three at the Peak of Mastery. Do you need me to deal with this trouble?"
Over the phone, Wang Zhong pondered for a moment before saying, "There's no need to rush into action. Just observe from the sidelines for now. If the young master truly is in danger, then intervene. A strong opponent at the Great Perfection Mastery Level can serve as a whetstone on the path ahead for the young master. Do not underestimate his potential."
"Understood! Your subordinate knows what to do."
The person in black was as light as a swallow, leaping from the rooftop of the skyscraper to another building in one bound. Although the distance between the buildings was only about ten meters, it was enough to astonish anyone. Moving with such leap-frogging, his speed was even a fraction faster than Xu Hao's car!
That incredible leaping power and speed were almost inhuman!
...
On the road.
Xu Hao asked, "General Anthony, do you know how Zhou Yang got involved with Zhou Huasheng?"
Anthony replied, "The Qian Family just sent a message. The Jing'an Zhou Family is a branch of the Hua Du Zhou Family, but their blood relation is extremely thin now."
Liu Ruyan said with some concern, "I feel that the ease with which they let us leave surely hides some ulterior motives."
Anna said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Sister Ru Yan. They wouldn't dare make a move on us. My dad is still here!"
Liu Ruyan laughed and said, "That's true. After all, General Anthony's status is extraordinary. They probably wouldn't dare to play dirty."
But just as the car entered a certain alley, Xu Hao suddenly slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.
At the same moment, three incredibly sharp daggers flew obliquely through the car's reinforced glass and embedded themselves in a nearby wall!
The daggers were too fast, and none of Anthony's group had time to react.
Flecks of blood appeared on Xu Hao's throat.
Liu Ruyan was extremely worried but didn't dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Xu Hao.
Xu Hao's eyes grew cold as he got out of the car and said, "Don't move in the car. General Anthony, have your men protect the area."
The cars following Xu Hao's quickly stopped, and a group of bodyguards swiftly surrounded Anna and the others for protection.
Xu Hao stood beside the car and called out coldly, "Tang Sect people again! Hiding your heads and tails, do you not dare to show your faces?"
A ghostly voice responded, "Xu Hao, just because you could dodge the deadly daggers from the three of us, do you really think you're strong enough?"
"Whether I, Xu Hao, am strong or not is not for a group of ignorant fools to judge!" Xu Hao vigilantly looked around. After a brief sensation of heat in his eyes, he spotted the enemy's location.
In total, there were four people, each radiating a strong glow.
Three at the Peak of Mastery and one at the Great Perfection Mastery Level!
One at the Great Perfection Mastery Level was enough to match three at the Peak of Mastery.
Xu Hao sneered in his heart. The opponents really did overestimate him.
He maintained a calm facade, chuckling, "A few rats at most, only capable of skulking around doing deeds unfit for the light of day. People from the Tang Sect may seem powerful, but in reality, they don't hold up under scrutiny."
A snort! "People with sharp tongues don't meet good ends! Kill him!" Another voice resounded, but from a different direction.
Xu Hao looked carefully but saw that the opponents hadn't changed their position.
Interesting!
Xu Hao nodded silently to himself. Although he had strategically scorned his opponents, he couldn't deny that the Tang Sect still had some tricks up its sleeve to this day.
If he learned this technique and pretended to be a ghost, wouldn't he scare the timid to death?
But the enemies had already launched an attack.
"Swoosh!"
A piercing cry tore through the air as a sword suddenly flew out, splitting from one to two, two to four, four to eight in mid-air!
But the swords didn't come from just one direction; they came from all around!
Blurring between reality and illusion, it was impossible to discern which were real and which were mere facades.
Liu Ruyan was filled with anxiety, clutching her thighs tightly, not even noticing the red marks from her own nails. In her heart, she kept thinking, Xu Hao is invincible; he won't be defeated.
Anna was also very worried, lying behind Liu Ruyan, not daring to look, yet wanting to.
Xu Hao, however, was not afraid at all. His eyes could see through the illusions, and he effortlessly dodged the real swords while commenting, "One of the Tang Sect's secret techniques, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, is indeed somewhat interesting. It seems you hold no low position in the Tang Sect, but it's a pity that your talents are not great. You have not cultivated to the Tianyan Eight Trigram Realm, and thus, cannot trouble me."
In just a few seconds, all the swords fell to the ground, and Xu Hao remained unharmed.
"It's my turn now! I'll let you see what Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin really means!"
Xu Hao snorted coldly, and with a slight stomp of his feet, the swords, as if drawn by a great force, floated up into Xu Hao's hands.
"Go!"
Dozens of small, sharp swords shot out instantly, heading straight for the hiding places of those four!
"Damn it! How did he find our location?!"
"How could he know our secret technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin? This is impossible!"
"Face them head-on. The last time team eighteen failed, if we fail again, our Tang Sect will become the laughingstock of the entire sect world!"
