The battle that had been deadlocked finally began to see a turning point.
The Nanling Martial Fool, after incapacitating Luo Si and Luo Wu, quickly turned back to strike at Luo Liu.
Luo Liu and Luo Qi were already terrified when Ye Hao and the Nanling Martial Fool appeared. What frightened them was why their people had returned? What had happened to Luo Da, Luo Er, and Luo San? Could it be that Luo Da and the others had been killed?
With these thoughts in mind, they had lost the will to fight. If even Luo Da couldn't defeat Ye Hao and the others, how could they, with just their National Martial Arts tenth-level skills, possibly handle Ye Hao and the rest?
Losing their courage to fight, they were easily beheaded by the Nanling Martial Fool.
Ye Hao was a bit gentler; unable to directly twist off the opponent's head, but under his relentless skills, the opponent suffered greatly. Moreover, the two watchful and energetic Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu further diminished his will to fight.
After watching for a while, Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu also joined Ye Hao's battle circle, helping him take out Luo Qi.
In this way, of the eight opponents, the Nanling Martial Fool incapacitated two, killed four, Ye Hao killed one, and the combined efforts of Xu Shaoyuan, Hu Yanhu, and Ye Hao took down one. The enemy was completely annihilated.
This battle was fortunate because the Nanling Martial Fool had entered the Innate Realm; otherwise, Ye Hao and the others would have been in great danger.
However, they gained much from this battle as well. The Nanling Martial Fool entered the Innate Realm, while Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu reached the peak of National Martial Arts seventh level, just a step away from level eight.
Although Ye Hao and Dongfang Xuri did not break through, they gained so combat experience. So next ti, when encountering soone stronger than themselves, they would at least know so techniques for skirmishing.
Ye Hao glanced at the bodies on the ground and then approached Luo Si. Noticing no one was watching, he discreetly stored Luo Si into his space.
Luo Si's consciousness was still there, but his bodily functions were steadily weakening.
Ye Hao wanted to extract from Luo Si's mind who had issued the order, who exactly wanted him dead in Macau.
"Let's go." Once Ye Hao finished, he imdiately led the others away.
Just a minute after Ye Hao and the others left, He Xiang arrived swiftly with over a dozen of National Martial Arts twelfth-level experts.
Although she learned soone was targeting Ye Hao and others at the earliest mont, it took ti to gather the experts, so she arrived late.
Now, seeing the chaotic scene and a few warm corpses on the ground, He Xiang coldly asked, "Who gave the order, and why are Luo Wu's and the others' bodies here? Did Luo Wu and the others make the move?"
"Young Miss, we don't know. But after being inford by the brothers, I imdiately relayed it to you," He Xiang's top aide, Leng Biao, said.
Leng Biao, who had followed He Xiang for twenty years, started as an ordinary bodyguard. Born into poverty and faced with nurous hardships, if not for He Xiang helping him overco several crises, he would likely still be begging in the streets. Grateful for her help, he had followed He Xiang and over the years had reached the twelfth level of National Martial Arts.
Of course, for him to reach the twelfth level required so fortuitous encounters along the way. But Leng Biao constantly stayed by He Xiang's side, protecting her. It must be said, having such a skilled bodyguard like Leng Biao was a blessing for He Xiang.
"Investigate for , and also summon Luo here." He Xiang said grimly. She couldn't believe soone dared to issue such orders to harm Ye Hao and others behind her back.
She also secretly wondered if this was her father's doing. If it was, why would her father do it? Although Ye Hao had an unhappy encounter with the New Pujing casino, it shouldn't have escalated to assassination!
Moreover, in recent years her father hadn't been involved in affairs, leaving big and small matters to her and her brother, He Jiu, to handle.
So, she first excluded her father and instead focused the target on Luo Tian. Among so many people, only Luo Tian was a possibility, because judging by the corpses, these people were all direct disciples of Luo Tian.
If anyone had the authority to mobilize these eight people, it had to be Luo Tian.
"Luo Tian, humph! Seems you really forgot who your master is." He Xiang coldly snorted.
Then He Xiang pulled out her phone and dialed Ye Hao's number.
Soon the call was connected, and Ye Hao asked cheerfully on the other end, "Hehe, Xiang, what brings you calling instead of sleeping at night?"
He Xiang paused in response. What was with Ye Hao's attitude? Wasn't he just assassinated? How could he act as if nothing happened?
Ye Hao was courteous to He Xiang because he knew she wasn't behind this, so he saw no need to lose his temper at her, nor ask her outright who did it.
He knew that if He Xiang wanted to give him an explanation, she would certainly investigate who was responsible. If she wasn't honest, then there was no need for further interactions between him and her in the future.
Of course! If He Xiang was truthful, there could still be a friendship between them.
"Hao, are you alright?" He Xiang asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, but Xiang, why call to ask if I'm alright?" Ye Hao chuckled.
"Rest assured, I already have a hunch about who did this. I'll give you an explanation as soon as possible," He Xiang, fearing that Ye Hao might grow distant, hastily said she had a suspicion to reassure him.
"No problem, I won't be in Macau much longer. I'll leave tomorrow morning, so you too should get so rest." Ye Hao finished and hung up. By saying this, Ye Hao ant he needed to hear from He Xiang about who did it by tomorrow morning. Of course! He Xiang could also choose not to disclose it, and they could simply not engage with each other anymore.
He Xiang heard the dial tone, set the phone down, realizing Ye Hao was furious, even if he hadn't shown it.
As He Xiang set down her phone, Leng Biao seed to have heard so crucial news and urgently reported to He Xiang, "Miss, Luo Tian has left."
"What? Luo Tian has left?" He Xiang reacted dramatically. Does this an Luo Da and the others' attempt to assassinate Ye Hao was ordered by Luo Tian?
"Yes, Miss, just now, Luo Tian left Macau via water route. Though we've sent people to pursue him, Luo Tian is a master, and even if caught, he might not be brought back," Leng Biao said.
"So it's him, truly him. Why would he do such a thing?" He Xiang said with a gloomy face.
Then He Xiang said, "Take to my father." (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
