178 Confrontation (III)
“You!” Hao Liyu lost his thoughts of considering the young man as his enemy and directly attacked him with a sword in his hand, slashing against the other party.
“Hahaha,” Cai Hong reacted and swiftly avoided the old man’s sudden attack. “I don’t mind fighting you. However, if I were to win this fight, you will submit to me, including the sect behind you.”
“Deal!”
When the spectators from the Dragon Phantom Sect heard Hao Liyu’s reply, they were not only shocked, but some of the elders they brought with them were also showing anger.
They naturally threw their anger at Cai Hong, who was the one who lit the fuse of the old man’s past. The more time flew by, the more the slashes coming from the old man grew fiercer.
“If only you had surrendered yourself to me earlier, I wouldn’t have rooted out your past. What exactly happened, though? What did you do when your clan decided to exile you?” Cai Hong kept on talking while he kept on dodging the old man’s strikes.
“Fight back, you brat!” Hao Liyu was truly pissed off as he changed his weapon to two daggers. Both daggers flew out of his hands and vehemently attacked Cai Hong.
This time, Cai Hong didn’t judge and even caught the two daggers with his two hands. He tried breaking the daggers into pieces, but he found out that he wasn’t able to. “These are high-level daggers?”
“Hmph!” the old man harrumphed and flew into the air, revealing to everyone a lot of weapons circling him. There were all kinds of weapons, a knife, a long saber, and several more. Moreover, all of them possessed the might of Earth-Ranked Imperial Relics. One of them had the aura of a Heaven-Ranked Imperial Relic. Furthermore, it was the one that stimulated the other weapons as though they were his army and he was their commander.
“You can actually use several weapons simultaneously?” Cai Hong was surprised. Even for him, who was already a Saint Emperor, using just one Heaven-Ranked Imperial Relic was already a taxing feat to accomplish.
However, Cai Hong later realized that he was wrong about the old man not receiving any backlash. Although the old man’s face remained unfazed and he was clearly expressing his anger toward Cai Hong, he was actually not faring well. Over time, he felt like his body was going to crumble.
“It looks like you’re not able to control them that much,” Cai Hong said. “However, do you really think these weapons could injure me? Moreover, the quality of that Heaven-Ranked Imperial Relic of yours is not up to par.”
“Shut up, brat! You don’t have the right to say anything about me! Just mentioning something related to my past already meant your death!”
“Oh?” Cai Hong was a bit surprised by the old man’s courage. “Do you know my cultivation level, though? Although you kept throwing your weapons at me, they could not even hurt me at all.”
“Impudent!”
Cai Hong just shrugged and said, “There’s nothing wrong with what I said, though. In fact, I was just merely asking you about being a former family member of the Hao Family. You’re the one who exploded like a bomb.”
However, Hao Liyu did not answer Cai Hong and instead rained another set of imperial relics on Cai Hong. However, they could not hurt the latter even in the slightest. Nevertheless, it should be known that if Cai Hong wasn’t strong enough, he would not be able to resist these attacks, as it could be said that he was struggling a bit by now.
Moreover, there was still that Heaven-Ranked Imperial Relic that the old still did not use.
“Can Lord Hao really resist that young man? It seems like the young man wasn’t even struggling. Why don’t we just…” an elder suggested but was immediately refuted by another.
“Shut up, Elder Han! Of course, Lord Hao could wind against that young man. Who knows that young man was just pretending to act like he’s a tough one?!” A fanatic of the old man appeared to stop the hubbubs among the elders.
“Can you all just shut up? Why won’t you just zip your mouths?!!” Hao Bufei, who had been silent since long ago, suddenly shouted, which quieted down the crowd. “If you all have the capability to fight that young man, then go up and fight him yourself.”
It was already needless to ask or tell that Hao Liyu was struggling against the young man. Moreover, he didn’t even gain an advantage. The young man did not even attack him once.
Moreover, if there was anyone who was most worried about the safety of Hao Liyu, it would be Hao Bufei.
“Is this all you’ve got, Hao Liyu?” Cai Hong mocked as he let the old man continue to attack him with several weapons. “If you don’t mind, I can end this battle for you so you won’t struggle any longer. I know that the more you control these several weapons, the more backlash you will receive.”
“Fuck you, brat!”
Hao Liyu gritted his teeth as he felt his body being squeezed by the enormous pressure brought upon him by the weapons he was trying to control.
“Cai Hong, you may now stop,” a voice suddenly rang into Cai Hong’s mind.
Cai Hong quickly dispersed all the weapons attacking him, sending the old man flying in the distance. “Your Highness, you’ve arrived!”
Cai Hong excitedly bowed his body down in a certain direction, his eyes gleaming with a child’s delight. His body could even be seen trembling. This shocked the crowd.
This young man who seemed to be on par with Lord Hao was actually bowing his head to someone. Moreover, it was someone he said who ordered him to subjugate the Dragon Phantom Sect. He called him “His Highness,” but the crowd really didn’t hear anything.
It was just Cai Hong who suddenly deflected the old man’s relentless attacks and faced a certain direction. However, they did not see anything in sight, except for the towering trees.
“I have,” an exalted voice of a young man suddenly rang throughout the whole place.
