Chapter 116 - Xuan Hao Attacks!
Xuan Hao did not hesitate for even a moment as he quickly made his way into the underground palace where the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect was located together with his disciple Chu Yang and Elder Skinling.
At the current moment, the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect was currently overcome with rage as he angrily stared at Elder Skinling, waiting for him to come up with some sort of explanation before he killed him.
"I, I- "Elder Skinling did not know what to do at the current moment, as he could only muster all of his remaining strength to look fearfully up at the Sect Master.
He had done everything that he was told to do… Where was that person…? Did he perhaps find out about the Sect Master having reached the Second Demonic Transformation and decided not to act…?
This thought alone caused Elder Skinling to shake all over as he could only wait for his end to come at the hands of the Sect Master…
"Hmph, I see that you don't want to cooperate." Seeing that Elder Skinling did not explain or try to beg for his life, the Sect Master completely ignored Chu Yang standing beside him, as he mercilessly launched an attack towards Elder Skinling.
Is this the end…?
Having such a cliché thought as his life was about to end, Elder Skinling closed his eyes and waited for the attack to hit him without putting in any effort to resist at all.
Xuan Hao arrived just at this moment and saw the damsel in distress…? All though the damsel in question was not the kind of damsel that he was hoping for, even his disciple would have been better as he could at the very least leave a deeper impression on him…
Swoosh!
Before the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect could even react to Xuan Hao's sudden appearance, he launched a deadly sword strike towards him and soon it arrived directly in front of him. Not giving him any time to react before he was hit head on with no defences in place.
Boom!
"Wha-!" The sword strike launched by Xuan Hao landed directly on the chest of the Black Rose Sect's Sect Master and exploded into a massive sea of sword qi that directly refocused and under Xuan Hao's control continued to attack the Sect Master, throwing him backwards while destroying a large part of the underground palace they were currently inside in the process.
The surrounding disciples and elders of the Black Rose Sect only felt that the pressure that was previously bearing down on them had disappeared as they all turned to look in the direction of the palace.
The sight that met them was half the side of the palace being completely destroyed as their Sect Master flew out of it and slammed directly into the cave wall, causing part of the cave to collapse, as rocks and other debris showered down, burying him completely.
"How dare you!" A loud and enraged scream erupted from beneath the rocks and other debris as the Sect Master soon jumped out and a blood red aura completely engulfed him, sending a chill down the spine of every disciple or elder that was watching.
Swoosh~
The only answer that the Sect Master got was another sword attack, but this time he was ready for it, as a blood red shield formed in front of him and blocked the attack.
Following this, Xuan Hao appeared from the now ruined part of the underground palace as he quickly rushed at the Sect master, preparing to launch another attack before he managed to recover.
The plan Xuan Hao had was relatively simple, first rush in when he is distracted, secondly hit the Sect Master with his sword until he either dies or is seriously injured.
Xuan Hao could not let him regain his footing and make sense of what was happening, so he kept launching attack after attack at the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect, as the person in question continued to be pushed further and further back under the unrelenting wave of attacks by Xuan Hao.
The only thing Xuan Hao was worried about currently was the other Nascent Soul Realm Elders of the Black Rose Sect showing up and joining the fight to support the Sect master.
As for the Sect Master having reached the Second Demonic Transformation and being comparable with Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and having the ability to fly with his bat-like wings? Xuan Hao did not worry at all.
From what he could feel after fighting a bit with him, Xuan Hao had discovered that the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect had only just managed to complete the Second Demonic Transformation and was at most comparable to someone at the seventh stage of the Nascent Soul Realm… Far from reaching the true potential of the Second Demonic Transformation…
Swish!
"Argh!" Once again, a sword attack of Xuan Hao managed to make its way past the defence of the Sect Master and make direct contact, but even being wounded like this, the Sect Master did not seem to be seriously injured as he merely shrugged off the attack and continued to defend against the unrelenting barrage of attacks Xuan Hao threw at him.
"Hah…" Seeing this, Xuan Hao stopped attacking as he clearly felt that the physical defence of the Sect Master was way stronger than he had first expected.
An attack that could seriously injure a seventh stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator only left a small flesh wound on the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect…
"Hm?"
Glancing in the direction where Chu Yang and Skinling had entered the Black Rose Sect from, Xuan Hao clearly felt a few auras in the Nascent Soul Realm coming over.
The Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Black Rose Sect that were missing earlier had returned!
"Looks like I will have to go all out if I want to injure him…" Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao ignored the fact that the Sect Master had already gotten up and was looking at him filled with killing intent!
