Chapter 729: Deadly Surprise Attack

Chapter 729 -725: Deadly Surprise Attack

Ever since Lin Hao created the Blood Shifting Skill, he had been constantly perfecting it with Xu Zihao’s help.

Although he had sparred with Xu Zihao countless times, this was his first time truly facing an enemy with it.

For his first real battle, he was facing a Martial Artist at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. This was a monumental test for Lin Hao.

Lin Hao’s fists reached the pinnacle of speed, surpassing the very limits of velocity.

Tang Fang hadn’t paid Lin Hao any mind, so he never imagined that someone who had lost all their cultivation could suddenly launch such an attack.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late. ℯ

Lin Hao’s fists were already at his chest.

He couldn’t even retreat if he wanted to.

Because as Lin Hao’s fists shot out, a restraining domain formed at the same time.

Although Tang Fang was at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he could still feel the powerful restraining force.

Tang Fang roared, a brilliant light flaring from his Dantian as his body suddenly swelled in size.

Facing Lin Hao’s fists, he sensed the threat of death and immediately activated his Bloodline Power.

Without using his Bloodline Power, there was no way for him to break free from the restraint.

As his body expanded, Tang Fang retreated, trying to escape the restraining force of Lin Hao’s fists.

But he only managed to retreat a single foot.

Lin Hao’s fists surged forward, landing squarely on Tang Fang’s body.

PFFT!

Tang Fang was sent flying, his swollen body deflating like a punctured balloon as it returned to its original size, cracking all over.

The instant Lin Hao acted, Xu Zihao moved as well.

The moment Lin Hao had taken his step, Xu Zihao knew what he was planning to do.

He had been gathering his power ever since.

As Lin Hao moved, Xu Zihao struck, attacking the old man closest to him.

With this attack, his palm glowed crimson as he directly channeled the Celestial Flame Divine Skill.

His speed was no match for Lin Hao’s, but he still caught the old man completely off guard.

The old man scrambled to defend, and both were forced back several steps.

Just as they clashed, Lin Hao’s fists were already flying toward another Martial Artist.

Even without his cultivation, Lin Hao’s speed was astonishing.

He couldn’t use the Heaven-Stepping Step without his cultivation, but just mimicking its form gave Lin Hao a divine boost.

Most importantly, his opponent was far too close, which gave Lin Hao an absolute, unseen advantage.

Lin Hao blasted out both fists again, the restraining domain emerging from them once more.

But the old man had already attacked before Lin Hao’s restraining domain could fully form.

No matter how fast Lin Hao was, his sudden attack on Tang Fang had been enough to give the others a chance to react.

However, this old man was far less cautious than Tang Fang. He didn’t use his Bloodline Power.

As Lin Hao blasted out his restraining domain, the old man’s palm was already descending upon his head.

But the restraining domain caused the old man’s attack to falter for a moment.

For Lin Hao, that momentary pause was more than enough.

Though he attacked second, Lin Hao’s fists arrived first, smashing directly into the old man’s head.

BOOM!

The old man’s head exploded.

A Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist, fallen!

As the old man’s head burst apart, Tang Fang’s body slammed heavily into the mountainside several dozen feet away, making the rock face tremble violently.

Then, Tang Fang’s body dropped to the ground as he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

But he had not perished.

Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists had immense life force. As long as their Divine Soul was unharmed, they had a chance to recover.

It all happened too fast. From Lin Hao’s attack, to Tang Fang being hit, to the old man’s head exploding, to Tang Fang hitting the ground—it was all over in an instant.

In a flash, of the five attackers, one was dead and one was severely injured. It was a heart-stopping sight.

The eyes of the Sword Control Sect’s Sect Leader went wide, filled with utter horror.

He could see it clearly: when Lin Hao attacked, there had been no fluctuation of True Essence from his body.

To kill one Sixth Layer Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist and severely injure another using only physical strength and martial techniques—if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it even if a Sealed Martial Realm expert told him.

The young Sect Leader was frozen in a stupor, completely forgetting that he should be attacking.

Another man snapped out of it, reaching out with a large hand to grab Lin Hao.

As he extended his five fingers, a terrifying clap of thunder rang out, as if the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder were descending.

Xu Zihao gave a sharp cry, abandoning the opponent he had just been fighting to charge toward this new attacker.

This old man was quite far from Lin Hao, and Lin Hao’s strength lay in close-quarters combat. Xu Zihao would naturally not let him attack Lin Hao from a distance.

Lin Hao shifted his feet, moving to close in on the man Xu Zihao had been fighting.

But after witnessing Lin Hao’s methods, that man already viewed him as a major threat. The moment Lin Hao moved, a Divine Soul shot out from his body to kill him.

It was impossible to see what it was; it had already transformed into a streak of light.

When a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist’s Divine Soul left their body, it could cross vast distances in an instant and take a man’s head from amidst an army of ten thousand.

At this distance, the speed of the old man’s Divine Soul was simply unimaginable.

Lin Hao’s body froze for a second, then he blasted out both fists.

The old man had a terrifying feeling that if his Divine Soul came within ten feet of Lin Hao, it would be instantly shattered!

He abruptly recalled the streak of light.

In that moment of hesitation, Lin Hao took another step forward.

The old man flicked his finger, and a terrifying sonic boom erupted. It was as if an invisible arrow had materialized in the air, aimed to pierce through Lin Hao’s body.

Meanwhile, after blocking the other Martial Artist’s attack, Xu Zihao pushed his Celestial Flame Divine Skill to its limit. Not just his palms, but his entire body turned crimson.

Lin Hao and Xu Zihao were each locked in a fierce one-on-one battle.

With two of the five enemies taken out and one yet to act, this was an absolutely golden opportunity for them.

An opportunity like this presented an infinite possibility of turning the tables.

And soon, that possibility would become reality.

Lin Hao had killed another.

The old man he fought had formed an arrow with a finger flick, but it crumbled to dust against Lin Hao’s Blood Shifting Skill.

Lin Hao pressed forward, closing the distance between them to twenty feet.

The Blood Shifting Skill couldn’t make Lin Hao’s arms extend that far, but the restraining domain blasted out by his fists was growing wider and wider.

Though his fists couldn’t reach the twenty-foot distance, their oppressive might could.

Though Lin Hao’s cultivation was gone, his bloodline remained.

The churning blood and qi of the Blood Shifting Skill contained the power of his Overlord Body bloodline.

The oppressive might of the Overlord Body spread from Lin Hao’s fists, affecting the old man.

The old man’s movements faltered.

That single pause cost him his life.

Lin Hao possessed terrifying perception and astounding calculation abilities. The moment the old man faltered, Lin Hao stepped forward, closing the distance between them to fifteen feet.

Then, he punched.

A fatal blow.

The instant this old man’s head exploded, the man fighting Xu Zihao froze.

For a person with no cultivation to kill two opponents and severely injure a third—the shock to this remaining Martial Artist was beyond imagination.

In that moment of hesitation, Xu Zihao killed him instantly.

And with that, three had fallen.

But that wasn’t enough.

That young Sect Leader was still there.

For someone of his age to become a sect leader, and to command such respect that the other four didn’t dare to rebel, was terrifying.

Without exchanging a word, both of them pounced toward the young Sect Leader.

At this moment, the importance of cultivation became apparent.

Lin Hao’s speed was no match for Xu Zihao’s.

However, in the young man’s eyes, Lin Hao was far, far more terrifying than Xu Zihao.
