Xu Hao gave her a glance and said, "I'll probably end up killing people on this trip. Aren't you afraid that if I can't fully protect you, you might get hurt or even die?"
"I believe Master can protect . If not, you can teach Cultivation!" Hodoka Moyo said with great anticipation.
She had studied the culture of Huaya, of Dongying, and of many places around the world in depth, but the more she studied, the more she realized just how barren Dongying's culture really was.
A lot of things were actually borrowed from other countries; they just got a makeover after coming here, but their essence hadn't changed.
But the culture over in Huaya truly fascinated her.
People who don't understand it might feel there's nothing to see, and there are even many Huaya People who scoff at their own culture, but she was the complete opposite. Precisely because she had studied so much of it, she knew there were all kinds of mysteries hidden within.
Especially Huaya Martial Arts.
Seeing the hope shining in her eyes, Xu Hao smiled slightly. "If I can successfully wipe out that force this ti, then I'll teach you martial arts."
"Okay! You said it yourself, you're not allowed to go back on your word!" Hodoka Moyo, having gotten Xu Hao's clear answer, imdiately said in delight.
"Of course. As long as you don't make trouble, I'll definitely teach you." Xu Hao smiled faintly.
Whether he taught her or not would depend entirely on his mood.
...
Shengtai City.
As one of the top-ranked cities in Dongying in terms of total output, Shengtai City's economy was extrely prosperous.
And because of that prosperity, so powerful forces had taken root and flourished here, and quite a few external powers had carved this land up completely.
At this mont, inside a luxurious villa, a group of people were kneeling on the floor.
In front of them sat an old man with a hideously fierce face.
"Lord Yamazaki, Xu Hao's strength is a bit too terrifying. He actually managed to find out where they were hiding, and even killed them all. That's sothing we never imagined at the start." One man raised his head slightly, speaking to Yamazaki with deep reverence.
"Yeah, and we still don't know how he did it. He actually has such a powerful intelligence network under his Control. If his intel organization weren't so strong, we wouldn't have taken such losses." Another person spoke up, trying to make excuses.
Yamazaki looked indifferently at the people talking, and finally opened his mouth slowly. "No matter how strong Xu Hao is, in the end he's just one man. If all of you are scared and trembling before him, how are we supposed to stand against him in the future?"
"B-but Lord Yamazaki, Xu Hao's strength is far beyond what we ordinary Ninjas can handle. It takes an extrely powerful powerhouse to deal with soone like him. After all, even the Saint of Fist, the Saint of Evasion, and a clone of Yamata no Orochi have all been defeated by him, and all in a single night. That alone shows how terrifying he is."
"Right, Xu Hao's power is basically beyond human resistance. Why don't we just lie low for now and not provoke him? Once he goes to the Yamata Shrine, Yamata no Orochi will naturally take care of him. We just have to follow behind and pick up the credit."
Everyone chid in, all advising Yamazaki not to ss with Xu Hao.
Yamazaki snorted coldly. "Hmph! A bunch of cowardly, life-loving weaklings!"
The crowd was so frightened they didn't dare make a sound, but many of them sneered inwardly. If you're not afraid of death, then go fight Xu Hao yourself. What are you doing hiding here?
Yamazaki suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Xu Hao's strength is indeed formidable, but he's not unbeatable. You all should know very well just how powerful our headquarters really is, right?"
"Lord Yamazaki, with all due respect, we know headquarters is very strong, but we've never actually seen it. If they're really that powerful, why haven't they just sent soone to directly execute Xu Hao? Wouldn't that be more straightforward?" soone imdiately questioned.
Yamazaki glanced at that person and snorted. "Are you doubting the strength of headquarters?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I just think it might be better if so things were laid out plainly. As far as I know, the Saint of Fist is a Supre Powerhouse at the Half Step Martial Sovereign Stage. Even a man like that was defeated by Xu Hao. I really don't know who else could possibly beat Xu Hao." That man asked in puzzlent.
"Heh. The Half Step Martial Sovereign of the Saint of Fist and the other Five Saints is full of water. You could even say they're all half-baked Half Step Martial Sovereigns. Their true strength lies sowhere between the Great Perfection of Peak Late stage Grandmaster level and Half Step Martial Sovereign. Before I joined our Alliance, I also thought the five of them were top-tier, Invincible, but later I learned the truth." Yamazaki said, a faint look of disdain in his eyes.
As a powerhouse at the peak Late Stage Grandmaster level, about to step into Great Perfection, the pride in his heart was not small.
In his view, even a Half step Martial Sovereign wasn't that far above him.
Just then, a voice ca from outside. "If you're really not afraid of dying, why don't you co out here and fight ?"
