If I give up halfway and walk back, wouldn't that give those people a chance to laugh at ?
Would I be willing to accept that?
Besides, Yu Ritian is right. My strength isn't sufficient; my cultivation aptitude is clear as day. It's difficult to achieve my ambitions through cultivation.
So, I've beco a speculator, following Lü Buwei's strategy of "rare commodities can be valuable." Now that I've finally spotted soone with strong potential, should I give up?
Thinking of this, Qi Qingfeng imdiately said, "Brother Yu, although my strength is lacking, yours is strong enough. You advance ahead, and those people will scatter in fear of your arrival. I can rally support from behind."
Xu Hao looked at Qi Qingfeng in surprise. This guy, after being humiliated by , still wouldn't leave. Could he really see sothing in ?
The things I said probably sound foolish to ordinary people, right?
Why does he believe them?
But Xu Hao didn't ask further. He pointed to the guards ahead and said, "Since you want to join , you must prove your loyalty. See those guards ahead? Choose one to kill. I will hold off the others for you. If you kill him, then I'll accept your loyalty. Once we're inside the ruins, I'll leave any treasures I don't want to you."
A loyalty test!
Qi Qingfeng was instantly alard. He never expected Xu Hao to be so cautious as to require a loyalty test.
If he killed one of the guards from the three factions, he'd be declaring war with them, and they'd want him dead.
But if he doesn't act, he'd completely lose the chance to partner with Xu Hao.
After much thought, rembering the imminent significant era and his poor cultivation aptitude, he suddenly said, "Alright! I agree with you! I'll choose this guard from the Zu Family."
He pointed to a Zu Family guard with early stage mastery power and spoke to Xu Hao.
He only had to handle one, while Xu Hao had to deal with dozens. Taking this opportunity, he could also probe Xu Hao's strength before deciding whether to go for the kill.
Dozens at the mastery period, five at Grandmaster Level—this strength could trouble any powerful expert.
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "Very well, go ahead and kill. I'll handle the others."
Saying this, Xu Hao walked into the encirclent.
The dozens of guards imdiately beca furious as they watched Xu Hao's group, shouting, "Who are you? Why are you breaking into the encirclent?"
Xu Hao calmly said, "Does this land belong to you? No, right? You're blocking the area and then questioning for entering. I haven't broken any laws, so why can't I be here?"
The head guard among them said, "Then please leave. This isn't a place for you. If you don't leave, don't bla us for being rude."
"Ha, go ahead and strike. Of course, even if you don't, I will, because the fellow behind wants to kill him."
Xu Hao casually pointed to the Zu Family guard nad by Qi Qingfeng, then grabbed with his right hand. A powerful hand appeared above that person's head, lifted him from the ground like a chick, and tossed him before Qi Qingfeng.
Everyone watching this was astonished.
This guy's strength is indeed terrifying.
A powerful hand isn't sothing an average Grandmaster Level could muster; at least a Late Stage Grandmaster is needed!
This unassuming young man turned out to be a formidable expert!
The guards promptly surrounded Xu Hao. The head guard coldly said, "With that strength, you must not be a naless figure. Why hide?"
Moreover, we have three young masters overseeing this area. I've already inford our ng Family's young master, and he'll be here soon. I'd advise you to stop."
Despite being shocked by Xu Hao's formidable strength, they were not flustered. Instead, they thodically threatened Xu Hao.
Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Didn't expect you to threaten . Qi Qingfeng, do your task; don't think I don't know what you're planning, but I don't want to see you hesitate."
Qi Qingfeng shivered. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Hao slap seven or eight guards away, instantly calming his mind. He raised his hand and struck the Zu Family guard, who had been dizzy from the fall, half-dead.
"How dare you!"
The Zu Family's guard saw his fellow about to be killed and furiously rushed at Qi Qingfeng.
With his early stage Grandmaster level strength, saving that guard would be a breeze.
But Xu Hao chuckled, "If you escaped from , I'd lose face!"
