Muramasa Taro frantically fled, but before leaving, he still arrogantly shouted, "Xu kid, you've killed so many from our Muramasa Family, you're done for! Our family will definitely send soone of Elder level to hunt you down!"
Xu Hao replied with a faint smile, "Oh, thanks for the reminder, but even if you deliver the ssage, I still can't forgive you, I'm going to kill you regardless."
"What, you dare to kill ?"
Muramasa Taro snorted coldly, "I am one of the geniuses of this generation in our Muramasa Family, entrusted with high expectations. If you dare to kill , our Muramasa Family will absolutely wage a ceaseless vendetta against you!"
"There's no need for your reminder, I've already prepared to engage in an endless fight with your Muramasa Family."
Xu Hao waved his hand nonchalantly and a stone he tossed out directly smashed a hovering drone to pieces.
Then, his figure flashed and he threw a plain and unremarkable punch towards Muramasa Taro.
Muramasa Taro was so frightened that his eyes nearly burst, and he desperately tried to flee into the distance, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape and was killed by a punch from Xu Hao.
"Yay! Brother Hao, we've won again! You're really amazing!"
Anna jumped up excitedly and planted several kisses on Xu Hao's face.
Xu Hao smiled and led her into the cave.
But as they were about to enter the cave mouth, Xu Hao's brow furrowed slightly.
He felt like soone was spying on them here, that sensation, very faint.
The cave entrance was concealed by overgrown weeds which would inevitably scratch the skin of anyone who tried to walk through them.
But as Xu Hao walked in with Anna, his Qi Force radiated from him, clearing all the weeds away, almost like a human weed whacker.
Anna, who had never seen such a thing, looked around with a face full of curiosity, amazed by Xu Hao's abilities.
The inside of the cave was very dry since the entrance was slightly sloped downward, preventing rainwater from entering.
Xu Hao was very cautious as he moved because he felt that a cave storing such valuable items surely wouldn't be ordinary.
But as he walked, he felt the sensation of being watched from behind growing stronger.
Soone was approaching!
Xu Hao's heart chilled. He had a keen sense of danger and vaguely felt there might be traps ahead.
He looked up at his surroundings and then, with Anna in tow, he suddenly leaped onto the cave ceiling. With his left arm cradling Anna, his right hand transford into claws, firm as if cast from bronze and iron, his fingertips dug deeply into the rocky ceiling, clinging securely.
This spot was a recess with stones that provided cover, making it difficult for people below to notice. Although it appeared crude, the walls around them had been smoothed, and the granite was hard, making it nearly impossible for a typical martial artist to hold onto the walls.
Moreover, he projected a layer of Qi Force around him to form a thin Qi Force Protective Shield, muffling Anna's breathing. As for Xu Hao himself, he could now sustain his Inner Breath for hours without harm.
Anna's big eyes were wide open as she stared intently below, not knowing exactly what Xu Hao was planning, but she guessed there must be sothing exciting about to happen.
Seeing her eager to know more but afraid to ask, Xu Hao chuckled, "It's alright, we can talk quietly here, no one else will hear us."
Upon hearing this, Anna imdiately said, "Brother, what are we doing here? Don't your fingertips hurt?" Thischapterispartofthecollectionon*.
"Bad guys are coming, wanting to catch the cicada," Xu Hao explained. His fingertips did hurt, of course, but such minor pain was nothing more than an itch to him.
"Hehe, that must be really fun, right?" Anna's little fists clenched tightly, her face full of curiosity as she peered towards the entrance of the cave.
Not long after, the two of them saw a total of twelve islanders dressed in black ninja clothes sneaking in.
Ten Chunin and two Upper Ninja.
Xu Hao clicked his tongue in wonder; they were really all out to snatch the Immortal Bone, even deploying Upper Ninja equivalent to Grandmaster Level. And to think they had sent two!
Facing two adversaries of the sa caliber, along with ten Chunin of no small strength, Xu Hao felt he needed to seriously consider his next move. If he were to et with an accident in this proverbial gutter, it would be troubleso.
He could extract himself without any trouble, but it wouldn't be so certain for Anna.
The movents of these individuals were incredibly quiet, practically negligible.
Xu Hao's heart cooled; these people's sleeves were all embroidered with a turtle, the people of the Kada family!
They had actually tracked him here!
Xu Hao connected the recent events, from Elder Chen's assault, to the ongoing attacks on Chen Suyi, to the ambush in Jing'an City trying to steal the plate Feng Yi gave him, leading to the death of Kada Juuzou dispatched by the Cui family, and finally the death of Kada Juuni.
All these events seed to be part of a preditated plan, and he guessed that one of their aims was definitely the Immortal Bone.
But that plate, it remained one of the questions—why did they want to snatch it?
While Xu Hao pondered, the Kada family's ninjas quickly made their way beneath him.
