Chapter 1381 - 1378: Astounding Battle Record

This Treasure-searching Bead can definitely save him a lot of time in his plundering.

The lightning formation here continues, but without any living creatures in the formation, it seldom strikes with lightning.

It does occasionally aim at Chu Hao, but the defensive barrier deflects it.

Chu Hao begins to clean up the battlefield, most of the people around are dead, corpses litter the ground.

Looking at them, Chu Hao feels not a shred of sympathy.

This is the way of the martial world.

Too many have died, even their souls weren't left, scattered to ashes, unable to reincarnate.

Chu Hao searches the battlefield, and wherever he goes, treasures automatically transfer into the Treasure-searching Bead, leaving none behind.

He even sees some corpses' inner armor damaged by lightning, yet also absorbed into the Treasure-searching Bead.

The freakish Treasure-searching Bead doesn't even spare women's lingerie, deeming it as treasures too!

Chu Hao is baffled, but discovers the lingerie has runes flickering on it, realizing that this truly is a Yin-Yang item.

A pair of women's underwear, Chu Hao finds Yin Yang Runes, leading him to a possibility.

Women traveling alone face danger often, thus they wear such protective clothing.

Legend says these can protect one's chastity?

Impressive, my sister.

Chu Hao averts his gaze and continues to clear the battlefield.

While he clears the battlefield, the people outside the formation are utterly shocked.

"Something huge has happened!"

How many died in total?

More than hundreds!

And they were all masters, three Emperor Realm individuals, dozens of Peak King Realm, countless others.

This is a loss for Tianqiong Province.

Someone exclaims: "Quick, spread the news, things have escalated."

It's not just escalated, it's beyond escalation; those who died are from various forces, including Yin-Yang Loose Cultivators.

How much effort does it take to train a Yin-Yang Practitioner?

Not to mention the Heavenly Master Realm, even the King Realm takes decades, and even more for the Emperor Realm, a significant loss indeed.

Chu Hao, searching the battlefield, suddenly notices movement ahead, almost deceiving his eyes.

Chu Hao looks at a scorched corpse, seemingly dead, but he senses something amiss.

He opens his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils to see a stream of life force; this person isn't dead?

Even in the Emperor Realm, yet this person is still alive, who could they be?

Chu Hao kicks him once, the person remains still.

Chu Hao kicks again, saying, "Still pretending?"

Still no movement, quite good at playing dead.

Chu Hao slashes with the Black Ancient Gold Knife, cutting a bloody wound on his buttocks, blood gushes out.

To Chu Hao's surprise, the person remains motionless, very calm in feigning death.

"Enduring this too?"

Chu Hao is curious about who this guy is, saying, "Keep pretending to be dead, I'll cut off your little brother and feed it to the dogs."

The person playing dead can't help but tremble.

Chu Hao kicks him flying, finally sees his face, though charred, he recognizes the general features.

This guy is so charred, hard to recognize, but his eyes are lively, showing a set of white teeth, fearfully looking at Chu Hao.

"Fang Mu!!" Chu Hao laughs.

Fang Mu, terrified, says, "I, I'm not Fang Mu, you've mistaken me."

Chu Hao laughs, saying, "How did you survive?"

So many in the Peak King Realm died, yet this guy can pretend to be dead here, truly bizarre.

Fang Mu is completely terrified, saying, "Please don't kill me."

Fang Mu is also injured; the first lightning struck him, but he had an amulet gifted by his father, tricking the formation into perceiving him as a dead object.

Chu Hao says, "Show it to me!!"

Fang Mu, terrified, stammering, says, "Give it to you, I, I won't survive here."

The lightning in this area has stopped, but there's no guarantee it won't strike again.

Chu Hao, with the Black Ancient Gold Knife, says, "Remember what I said earlier?"

Fang Mu, terrified, with blood flowing from his wound, his buttocks hurt.

"Soon, you'll join your predecessor." Chu Hao sneers.

Fang Mu is extremely terrified, so many have died, nearly everyone entering the formation is dead.

The Emperor Realm could originally escape, but Chu Hao killed them, he's a demon.

Crazy, Chu Hao is insanely extreme.

Fang Mu dares not use his identity to threaten Chu Hao, that would be courting death.

Fang Mu quickly says, "Please don't kill me, I'll be your slave, I beg you."

The desire to survive made him set aside his dignity.

Chu Hao looks down on him, saying, "Do you think you're worthy to be my slave?"

Fang Mu, immensely terrified, his legs trembling, says, "Don't kill me, I'm still useful, my father is the Prime Minister of Fire Nation, my mother is the Fire Nation Lord's aunt, my master is the previous Fire Nation Lord, if you spare my life, Fire Nation won't kill you."

Chu Hao strokes his chin, saying, "You're smarter than Nangong Li, that kid."

Fang Mu seemingly sees hope, further says, "As long as you don't kill me, Fire Nation definitely won't act against you, for if I die, Fire Nation will have no bloodline inheritor left."

Chu Hao nods slightly, saying, "Fine."

Chu Hao pulls out a gourd, a seemingly ordinary gourd about an inch and a half in size, yet it isn't a common object.

The gourd was scavenged from the third treasury, it's like the Luminous Glass Compass.

Chu Hao recently figured out what the gourd actually is.

Turns out, it contains vines that can trap humans, ghosts, demons.

And it extracts energy from them, turning it into nectar in the gourd, drinking it surely enhances.

The thing in the gourd remains until refined into death.

Chu Hao was shocked by the gourd's demonic nature.

Chu Hao forms a seal, the runes on the gourd flicker, a breath sprays forth, enveloping Fang Mu, drawing him inside.

Chu Hao focuses, listening carefully to Fang Mu's voice.

Fang Mu, drawn inside, is wrapped by vines, his whole body only revealing his face, extremely fearful.

Fang Mu exclaims, horrified, "What...what is this place!? Damn it, it's absorbing my energy."

"Chu Hao, let me out, let me out now!!"

Chu Hao calmly says, "Don't worry, you won't die, just stay inside quietly."

Fang Mu feels utterly despairing.

Chu Hao suddenly asks, "By the way, have the Saint Heirs and Saintesses of the other four major forces entered the formation?"

He plans to use trapping Fang Mu's method to capture some Saint Heirs or Saintesses, or family heirs, as hostages to ensure his safety.

Fang Mu's internal power gradually drains, this process is slow, but over time, it's unpredictable what might occur.

He says, "I haven't seen them either."

Chu Hao mutters, "Could they be dead?"
