Chapter 617: Chapter 104 Ten Million People, I Go Forth, Consecutive Instant Kills (9k triple chapter)_5
Divine souls screamed in terror as they rushed out of their bodies, but before they could escape, they too were killed by the rules of the Dao Domain in the next instant.
A Dragon Demon of the Ultimate Study Realm had thus perished in an instant.
On the other side, the figure who was still poised to attack froze and abruptly stopped.
“Such a young age… Is it you?”
Upon seeing the young man’s appearance, although the face was somewhat unfamiliar, this elderly sword-bearer recognized him immediately.
The young man’s reputation was too notable; in the present world, there was only one at such an age with such formidable power, the young general who had stepped out from the Li Family.
...
Hearing the exclamation, Li Hao felt it somewhat familiar and looked toward the old man, frowning slightly.
Indeed, it was someone he only vaguely knew.
The Sword Saint, Jian Wudao.
He had not expected that while passing by, his casual rescue would turn out to be this Sword Saint from the Sword Cottage.
However, it wasn’t really a rescue; it was doubtful the Dragon Demon could have killed him, and they likely would have just skirmished for a while before each retreated.
The two had met only twice: once when the other party was invited by the Li Family to take on a disciple.
The second time was when Bian Ruxue invited him to lend his support and show his connections at the True Dragon Battle.
Now it was their third encounter, but their statuses had changed dramatically.
Seeing the old man, Li Hao thought of the little tail in the childhood courtyard, his frown deepened slightly. He had nothing much to say to the old man and immediately did not dwell on it.
“Wait.”
Jian Wudao, seeing Li Hao about to leave without a word, called out hastily.
“Hm?”
Li Hao paused and turned to look.
“You are indeed very powerful, but I believe I did not misjudge you,” Jian Wudao said, staring at Li Hao, his aged eyes full of determination, “Xue’er will surpass you sooner or later, especially in swordsmanship. Being chosen by the Sword Saint and being the successor, she will definitely reach the pinnacle of the Sword Dao!”
“…”
“Boring.”
Li Hao’s expression darkened, and after dropping that remark, he quickly teleported away.
To have delayed himself for a second over such a nonsensical ment.
“That is the real Sword Saint, a being of the Saint Realm!”
Jian Wudao called out loudly, looking at the back of Li Hao.
However, Li Hao’s teleporting figure did not pause, moving several times in succession, covering hundreds of miles in an instant.
Jian Wudao stared in that direction, his eyes plex. Ever since Li Hao had bee famous, and after witnessing the father-and-son battle in Qingzhou City, he had seen Li Hao’s swordsmanship and felt a slight wavering in his Dao heart.
It made him question his understanding of the sword.
He could misjudge a person, but could he also misjudge a sword?
But that battle seemed to tell him that he had misjudged not just the person but also the child’s talent in swordsmanship.
It caused damage to his Dao heart, and his progress in Sword Dao came to a halt.
Until one day, when Bian Ruxue traveled around and was unexpectedly favored by a Sword Tao Saint and taken as a disciple, his Dao heart finally became whole again.
The seedling he had chosen was the best; he had not chosen wrong!
After all, even that Saint praised her highly, saying that Xue’er possessed the inherent Sword Bone, but it was just obscured and not revealed. Moreover, the most important thing was her pure heart in pursuit of the sword.
With such a mindset, one could achieve the utmost in Sword Dao.
Now, although Li Hao’s reputation was increasing and his cultivation was being more formidable—rumor had it that he had recently killed two top Demon Kings of the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, the Dragon Absolute God, and Feng Lingxiao—having a high cultivation base was one thing, but the Sword Dao was another.
Bian Ruxue’s talent in cultivation might not match Li Hao, but her talent in swordsmanship would surely allow her to catch up and surpass him.
He had just said that not to provoke Li Hao but because he felt a sense of urgency to express it.
After all, his Dao heart had almost been damaged in front of this young man, nearly leading to his cultivation going to waste, and a deep resentment had built up in his heart.
“The ultimate pinnacle of Sword Dao, breaking all laws, my path is not wrong…”
Jian Wudao murmured to himself.
…
…
Outside the territory of Dayu State, Li Hao rushed forth with a roaring flight.
He harnessed the Heaven and Earth Vein while on the move, constantly replenishing his expended Qi Force but even with the Heaven and Earth Vein, it felt like trying to extinguish a burning cartload with a cup of water.
He maintained the highest speed of Object Control all the way, covering hundreds of miles in a single breath.
For anyone else, just a few consecutive uses would drain half of their Qi Force.
But Li Hao’s body’s channels were fully open, with a Qi Force reserve far exceeding that of ordinary people, and bined with the Heaven and Earth Vein, only he could afford such extravagance, spanning half a dynasty in one go.
With such speed on the road, even the Candle Flame God would likely die of exhaustion halfway.
At this moment, outside the territory of Dayu State, Li Hao saw the demonic Qi churning on the ground, a vast wave of Demons attacking the border of Dayu State, and they had already breached the border.
Along the way, he saw hardly any soldiers defending, as if the Demons’ invasion was pletely unhindered.
Li Hao frowned deeply, disregarding the Demons Tide and increasing his speed towards the center of Dayu State.
Before long, Li Hao finally saw the Holy Capital Imperial City.
Counting the time, this was his first visit.
Previously, despite many honors, he had never gone up to the Imperial Capital; now, on his first visit, he saw the majestic Imperial City in ruins, the walls crawling with Demons.
Such a sight was enough to make one’s scalp numb.
Seeing this, Li Hao’s expression immediately sank.
He had anticipated that the situation here would be dire based on the information from Wang Yongzhi, but he hadn’t expected it to be this bad.
Possessing the world’s premier Array, and yet the city had already been breached.
Whoosh!
Li Hao arrived with a whizzing figure, swiftly sweeping across.
“Huh? Reinforcements arriving?”
Inside the city, a black-robed young man and a purple-striped enchanting woman, who had leisurely consumed four or five individuals from the Four Stands Realm each, were feeling quite sated.
