CHAPTER 675 HALF OF IT
“Damn, is he human or god?” asked Yao Ming shakily. He could not be bothered although his mouth
was widely opened.
The extent of the skills of the three masters and Zhuang Bao was within the range of everyone’s
expectations. They were merely stronger and faster in their actions. However, the slice that Chen Hao
made in mid-air was beyond everyone’s imagination. He had cut through the thick wooden desk and
rug, and this was something that had never occurred to them. Many of them bore the same thought as
Yao Ming.
“This is not an act of God, but more like a bizarre kind of martial arts.”
Having their eyes glued on the traces left on the ground, the three masters mumbled after a long while,
“Those who possess magical skills can kill someone from ten feet away. Once someone attains the
Royal Stage and the Concentration Stage, it will enable them to execute attacks from a hundred steps
away. I’ve always deemed it as a mere legend. I never would have thought that I would be able to
witness it with my own eyes today. I have no more regrets in my life!”
A whoosh was heard and everyone turned to look in the direction of its source. Zhuang Bao had
already retreated to a far distance.
“Let’s go now!” yelled Zhuang Bao angrily.
“Is he running away?”
Of course Zhuang Bao was running away. As soon as he saw the ferocious slash that Chen Hao made,
he fell into bottomless despair.
Unexpectedly, not only did this young man have an established cultivation, he had amazing martial arts
skills too. Judging from that slash he made, Zhuang Bao was sure he was not good enough to fight
him.
Chen Hao was a very intimidating presence. Not to mention Zhuang Bao alone, even if there were ten
of him, he would not have been able to fight this young man.
“It’s unbelievable for someone as young as him to have attained such a profound stage in martial arts!
As a genius with great talents, my master only managed to reach the Perfection Stage by the age of
fifty, and he is already a valiant hero abroad. Moreover, ordinary fighters with an ordinary family
background would not have the privilege to learn such amazing skills.”
All of the members of the Zhuang Family turned around and fled the scene.
As Zhuang Bao was deep in thought, he was making a retreat at lightning speed. With a sneer, Chen
Hao said, “Don’t you think it’s a tad bit too late for you to escape now?”
After taking a deep breath, Chen Hao began to transfer and summon the Heaven Abstruse Skills in his
body. The inside of his palm started to turn red before he made a flick with his fingers.
Three streams of highly concentrated silk-like substances shot out from his body at once like bullets.
They made a trajectory of over ten meters in the air before hitting the back of Zhuang Bao, Zhuang Hu
and Zhuang Shisan.
“Ahh!” With an agonizing shriek, blood spurted out from Zhuang Shisan’s mouth, and he flew to a
distance away.
Zhuang Bao felt as though he was hit by a gigantic hammer which weighed a ton. Blacking out, his
body was thrown far away, and he eventually hit the wall.
“He’s releasing his Inner Energy, and he’s killing people just by a flick of his fingers. What an
impressive man!” said the three masters in a shaky voice.
At that moment, they no longer had any doubt regarding the identity of this young man.
Although he looked merely approximately twenty-four to twenty-five years old, he had already reached
the peak of martial arts, and he was a mysterious highly-skilled fighter in the Perfection Stage.
If they had known about this incident through someone’s narration, they would have already slapped
the person hard seven to eight times. “Damn, how could someone be a Grandmaster at such a young
age? Fighters who reach the Perfection Stage before thirty years old are geniuses, and are practically
unheard of. One couldn’t have cooked up an even more outrageous story.”
As soon as the three of them were defeated, the situation had undergone a drastic change. Now, it was
the members of the Zhuang Family’s turn to be in fear of taking any actions.
Only then did Yao Guyi recover from the shock. He got up abruptly and stumbled toward Zhuang Bao
before giving him a hard kick. He snided, “Lad, I bet you have never expected to be in such a pathetic
state! I was able to drive you away back then, and it’s not hard for me to kill you today as well.
Hahaha.”
Suddenly, a placid voice was heard from behind. “Zhuang Bao hasn’t died yet. He has just fainted. Be
careful, don’t wake him up with your kick.”
Yao Guyi acted like a duck who just had its neck pinched by someone. His laugh came to an abrupt
halt.
Turning around, a pacifying smile was already on his face. “Buddy, no, Master Chen, why didn’t you kill
that villain?”
Rolling his eyes, Chen Hao replied, “He is a highly-skilled fighter in the Perfection Stage after all, and
his Inner Energy is as strong as me. A flick is not enough to kill him. The most I can manage is to knock
him unconscious, that’s all. That’s just because my skill is good.”
After he finished saying that, he ambled toward Zhuang Bao and gave his body several pats. “I’ve just
destroyed his Pool of Vital Energy. He won’t be able to use his Inner Energy for the time being. I will
hand him over to you now.”
“Yes, yes. Master Chen, your skill is extraordinarily amazing, and I am deeply impressed,” said Yao
Guyi with a groveling face. At around forty to fifty years of age, his humble attitude was a hilarious
sight. Especially so as his attitude was completely different from earlier.
Chen Hao shook his head with a bitter smile.
Unbeknownst to him, Yao Guyi could not be bothered to maintain his self-esteem after having
experienced a dramatic change and nearly died. At the moment, all he wanted was to get amicable
with Chen Hao. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
With such a highly-skilled fighter backing him up, he never had to be afraid of other fighters with Inner
Energy or other fighters with amazing skills anymore.
Damn, is there anyone who could be stronger than Master Chen, who was able to kill someone through
the air? screamed Yao Guyi in his mind.
“Master Chen, is it true that one would be unable to use one’s Inner Energy if the Pool of Vital Energy
was destroyed?” inquired the three masters anxiously, and they couldn’t care less about their injuries.
Fighters summoned their Inner Energy from the diaphragm, from which it spread to the entire body.
Zhuang Baos’s Inner Energy was unable to flow freely as Chen Hao had broken its flow by poking
some acupuncture points.
“Using my unique skill, I have poked at some of his acupuncture points to stop the flow of Inner Energy
in his body. Because of that, his Inner Energy is scattered throughout his body, unable to be
concentrated. With that, he is left powerless,” explained Chen Hao casually.
The three masters were deeply shaken upon listening to him.
Indeed, he had a really amazing skill which was outright immortal.
Yao Mengfei and Yao Mengyao’s pretty faces blushed. No wonder Chen Hao was not terrified at all
when he was being captured. Not a trace of fear could be seen on his face even though he was
brought to such a perilous place. As it turned out, he was such a strong fighter.
“Well, the problem is solved. Valley Master Yao, I think it’s about time you execute your promise,” said
Chen Hao with a clap.
“Promise?” Only when Yao Guyi patted his head did he recover from his stupor. At that moment, his
heart was bleeding internally, especially now when his arch rivals had been removed, and he was no
longer in danger. However, he still had to give half of his assets to Chen Hao…
“Are you thinking of going back on your promise?!” Chen Hao knitted his brows together as he glared at
Yao Guyi.
As though he was struck by lightning and fell into an ice cave, Yao Guyi’s entire body trembled.
“Don’t worry. I will give you half of my assets as promised!” said Yao Guyi through his gritted teeth
anxiously.
Chen Hao was even more merciless than Zhuang Bao. If Yao Guyi refused to give him his assets, he
might get killed.
He was trying to come up with a solution at the moment.
Staring at Yao Guyi, Chen Hao said, “I’m glad you’re not going back on your promise. Let’s see…
Please give some of the herbs to me so that I can bring them back. Other than that, please give me
some Revitalizing Pills. I need them!”
“I will do it right away!”
Yao Guyi nodded his head moodily.
What should I do? Do I really have to give that lad half of my assets? Is he even worthy of the wealth? I
have to come up with a solution. I can’t give the Herb King Valley away to him!
I’ll just stall him for the time being.
As he was mulling over the thought, a sudden coldness crept up to the middle of his eyebrows. It was
as though something had entered into his brain.
He lifted his face, just in time to catch Chen Hao taking back his hands.
Touching his forehead, he asked, “Mr. Chen, what’re you doing?”
“I’ve injected Gu poison into your brain. What should I do if you plan to stall me in order to come up
with a solution in the meantime to get me killed? Half of the assets of your Herb King Valley is at stake!”
said Chen Hao with a smile.
“H-How’s that possible?” Yao Guyi was stupefied.
