Chapter 519: To Slay (IV)
The two collided with a loud boom!
They’d transformed from fighting with weapons to body combat. Metal mysterious power scintillated and exploded, leaving marks on Li Hao’s armor. The young man kept his arms around his opponent and snarled, snapping off one of Sea Shark’s arms with a crunch.
The two furiously attacked each other!
A ferocious tiger manifested as its howl echoed through the mountain woods. Sea Shark blinked again, blood flowing from his orifices. Li Hao quickly followed up and yanked the pirate overboard, dragging him beneath the water surface!
Boom!
The two sank into the sea. Sea Shark roared and kicked his legs, drumming a loud tempo on Li Hao’s armor. The young man, however, continued to haul the man down. The silver armor could still fight in the sea.
As the two sank further, Sea Shark could increasingly sense the weight of boundless seawater compressing his metal abilities. And yet, Li Hao chose to drive his knee forward again!
Nine layers of waves, rumble!
Another massive boom sounded as the waves erupted with incomparable force in the sea. This blow shattered Sea Shark’s kneecaps. The waves churned madly when their knees slammed together. One of Sea Shark’s legs immediately sagged listlessly and blood filtered into the water around them.
As Li Hao continued to drag him down, Sea Shark began struggling violently! Only now did he register that the young man’s battle strength hadn’t started declining. It was him being confined instead, since he only had the metal attribute to make use of. He was gravely injured to begin with—the situation began to reverse now that his battle strength was restricted.
The further down they sank, the more horrified he became!
Li Hao didn’t give him a single chance to break free. He kept his hands a death grip around his opponent. Although Sea Shark wanted to howl, he could make a single sound. Desperate and furious, he head-butted Li Hao!
The young man threw his head back at his opponent. Is your head as sturdy as mine? Not to mention, I’m dressed in silver armor!
Bam!
The heads colliding made Sea Shark dizzy; he almost fainted dead away. He’d used this move against others before. Pirates were just as vicious as any other, but the results this time were far from ideal. His head was the one broken, and Li Hao wouldn’t let go of any chance to follow up! He slammed his head forward again and again and again... until blood streamed into the seas.
As Sea Shark looked around in a daze, Li Hao tightened his arms and yanked downward, ripping off one of the pirate’s arms. He then redirected attention to the other arm and utilized the bear style to its utmost, concentrating all of his force in his arms.
Bam!
The sea exploded as Li Hao used all of his strength to tear off Sea Shark’s remaining arm!
Blood seeped into the vicinity after both of the pirate’s arms were ripped off.
The searing pain jerked Sea Shark away. Incredibly weak, he looked at Li Hao with despair and incredulity. Was he about to die in this kid’s hands?
The armor around Li Hao’s hand suddenly vanished as he clawed at Sea Shark. It easily sank through the pirate’s feeble defenses and clawed something out of his chest—a beating heart!
Li Hao’s visor retracted to reveal his very young and aloof face. “So your heart is red too!” he transmitted. “Since you like to eat it so much, have some more!”
He then clawed at Sea Shark’s stomach! He grabbed whatever he could and crammed it all into the pirate’s mouth. Hopelessness, impending death, and reluctance brimmed in Sea Shark’s eyes...
Li Hao appeared particularly cruel in this moment, whereas the pirate only knew of unspeakable fear and horror. The young man truly meant for him to eat himself whole until he died!
The look of horror on the pirate’s face quickly disappeared because Li Hao gouged out his eyeballs as well, shoving them into Sea Shark’s mouth!
Some semblance of reason finally returned to Li Hao eyes when he couldn’t see the look in his opponent’s. He lacked the frosty madness of before. The young man smashed a final punch out and obliterated the pirate’s head!
He collected Sea Shark’s blade and storage ring with a casual beckon and looked up, shooting toward a certain direction. He\'d yet to take to the skies when he saw a massive ball of light swiftly coming toward him. It was very strong, possibly late Nova.
He trusted that the Demon Hunters and Liu Long could take care of their end. Even if not, they wouldn’t be defeated that quickly. He was headed toward the second powerhouse. This must be another member of the pirate contingent!
A faint scent of blood and gore wafted toward Li Hao as the distance between them closed. It wasn’t pirates who committed unspeakable acts. This was just a disgusting bunch! Li Hao gnashed his teeth and resolved to kill this fellow and destroy these pirates sooner or later.
He didn’t know where Panther had gotten to, but he believed that the dog was nearby, looking for a chance. It could ambush and kill mid Novas, as well as ambush late Novas... All Li Hao hoped for at the moment was that it was smart enough.
......
At the same time.
A man wearing a mask swiftly flew over. He’d been following Sea Shark, but at a distance since he didn’t want the man to discover him. A fight seemed to have broken out several dozen kilometers away; he rushed over at first light out of concern that something would happen. There were sounds of fighting and Sea Shark seemed to have disappeared overboard with someone.
Is it the Silver Moon Guards? Mask Face furrowed his brows. That was black armor he’d just seen...
The two sides seemed evenly matched—he couldn’t think too much at the moment. Sea Shark was very strong and was a strong talent that always led the charge. He couldn’t die there—though it looked like he wouldn’t at the moment.
A black dog floated among the waves and looked at the newcomer. Its noise twitched when it picked up Li Hao’s scent. The young man was starting to come closer.
Panther could sense Mask Face’s strength; that dense air of blood was the hallmark of a killing expert. It didn’t know if Li Hao knew how to kill this person. Panther only knew that if it ambushed first, Li Hao might not be able to kill this guy. It had to be Li Hao attacking first to provide a distraction for Panther...
But did Li Hao understand that?
Panther was quite urgent and didn’t know if the young man understood. Sometimes, the human was very silly. As these thoughts ran through the dog’s head, a ray of sword light shot through the water!
“You court death!”
Bam!
Mask Face slammed his hand down, causing the waters to erupt and reveal Li Hao in black armor. He’d slashed with his sword so quickly, hoping to catch the other off guard. However, Mask Face still responded in time and thrust Li Hao into the watery depths again.
Water attributed mysterious power erupted and the surface of the sea split open. Mask Face stared coolly at the descending young man. “A swordsman? The Silver Moon Guard? Li Hao? Perfect...” Another thought suddenly occurred to him. “Did you kill Sea Shark??”
Sea Shark wouldn’t have vanished otherwise!
Instead of responding, Li Hao roared and struck with his sword! Contrary to its usual silence, the sword gave rise to a great disturbance. Rumbles and roars rocked the sea, waves churned from all directions and a dog made use of the momentum to tumble in their direction.
Although he hadn’t discussed any provisions with Panther, the young man quickly made some decisions and changes. A long sword swept through the air as a sword’s hum reverberated in the four directions!
“It is Li Hao who kills you!” Li Hao howled while the sword broke through the void.
A vicious cast hardened the man’s features behind the mask. You, kill me? Let’s see who actually dies here today! He slammed another palm strike forward; a water dragon howled as multiple copies of it raced toward the young man from the water. You’re the only one doing any dying, Li Hao!
Though a sense of danger prickled at Mask Face, he couldn’t locate it. Li Hao howled again at this time and swept forward with his sword, smashing through all of the water dragons and erupting with radiant sword qi, charging at his opponent!
Mask Face grunted and erupted again, sending water energy through the premises!
A dog suddenly appeared behind him and struck with a paw, leveraging nine layers of force and intermixing it with domineering blood qi and internal force...
Pfft!
The paw ran straight through Mask Face’s back and instantaneously destroyed all of his defenses. Mask Face was focused on Li Hao and his defenses were not terribly strong to begin with. The dog’s paw pierced straight through the man’s back and heart!
The sudden attack left Mask Face speechless. Where did so many powerhouses come from?? His mysterious power began dispersing; Li Hao ran through his hand and traveled up Mask Face’s arm, stabbing into his throat. Mask Face’s hand was connected to his throat! Behind him, Panther bit deeply and sank its teeth into the other’s neck, breaking it with a solid crunch!
Mask Face’s head drooped, uncomprehending to the moment of his death. What was that behind him? It didn’t feel human!
Li Hao drew his sword across the air and decapitated his opponent, sending a head crashing into the sea! Killing this late Nova had been much easier because Panther had ambushed at the perfect time, piercing straight through the other’s heart.
The young man looked at the black dog, upon which Panther quickly sucked in a mouthful of seawater to rinse it out. It looked carefully at Li Hao—I don’t eat people, don’t look at me! It’s just that I’m a dog, I gotta bite people to show off my strength!
Li Hao collected a storage ring; he didn’t see a sign of an origin weapon. He frowned slightly and didn’t say anything else before flying back to the giant ship. None of these fellows would be left alive!
“Look around the premises, Panth. Kill anyone who escapes. Once they’re dead, keep an eye on where that person came from. There may be more...”
“Arf arf!” Panther understood and sank into the sea, disappearing. Its nose was exceptionally keen. No one would be getting past it!
