My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 282: Chapter 281: No, It’s You Who Are Dead

The one who sent Li Hao flying with a kick was none other than Yi Tianyun. He had caught up in a flash, sending Li Hao flying with that single kick. The force behind it was considerable—it had probably broken Li Hao’s back.

"Of course it’s me. Who else could it be?" Yi Tianyun smiled. ’Good thing I showed up when I did. Otherwise, Li Hao would have actually captured this girl.’

"B-But he’s from the Netherworld Empire..." The girl was stunned. She had never seen anyone dare to attack someone from the Netherworld Empire—other than the young man right in front of her!

The Spirit Race also fought the Netherworld Empire, but that was only in resistance; they would never dare to provoke them so casually. Yet this young man was so domineering, sending a powerful Core Condensation Realm expert flying with a single kick. His strength was unparalleled!

"You bastard, how dare you kick me!" Li Hao slammed a palm on the ground and sprang up. With several broken bones, the sudden movement aggravated his injuries, making him gasp. He pulled out a handful of Elixir Pills, stuffed them into his mouth, and began to rapidly heal his injuries.

"So what if I kicked you? What were you doing blocking my path? Don’t you know this gate is small?"

Yi Tianyun was spouting blatant lies. The gate in front of them was massive—ten people could have walked through it side by side. Ultimately, he just wanted an excuse to kick Li Hao away.

"Kid, it looks like you’ve chosen the hard way. You think you can play the hero saving a damsel in distress just because you have a bit of brute strength? You should take a good look at yourself! What’s so great about a sneak attack!" Li Hao was furious. Several Divine Talismans appeared in his hand. As a Divine Rune Master, it was no surprise he knew how to use Divine Runes.

He slapped the Divine Talismans onto himself, and his body instantly flashed with a golden light as his power surged. Both his speed and strength had been significantly enhanced!

BOOM! Li Hao stomped on the ground and shot toward them. His injuries seemed to have vanished; under the combined effects of the Elixir Pills and the Divine Runes, they were nothing.

"Run!" The girl’s expression changed as she hurriedly tried to drag Yi Tianyun aside to escape.

She didn’t believe for a second that Yi Tianyun could handle Li Hao. Li Hao himself also believed that he had only been bested by a sneak attack, not in a fair fight.

"You think you can escape?!" Li Hao scoffed and shot over, his speed allowing him to instantly intercept them. He struck out at Yi Tianyun with his palm, unleashing the full, unreserved power of the Core Condensation Realm. Rippling waves of energy pressed down relentlessly. A Cultivator with a lower cultivation level would have been instantly blown to bits by this strike!

This attack was aimed directly at Yi Tianyun, with the intent to kill him on the spot. As for the girl, he planned to spare her; after all, she was a member of the Spirit Race.

The girl’s face went deathly pale. ’We’re finished.’ Still, she quickly pulled out a Divine Rune Talisman, preparing to throw it at Li Hao. Even if it was futile, it might at least slow him down a little.

But a hand gently pushed down on hers, stopping her from throwing the Divine Rune Talisman. Then, Yi Tianyun shifted forward. It was just a single, light step, but he moved with the speed of lightning, instantly closing the distance. He then threw a heavy punch to meet Li Hao’s palm strike!

"Kid, you’re looking for death!" Li Hao’s eyes filled with ridicule. He thought Yi Tianyun’s move was idiotic. ’Clashing with my palm strike is suicide!’

BOOM!

A wave of Frenzy Power slammed into him, sending Li Hao flying back. He tumbled several times before crashing hard against the city wall, where he finally came to a stop. The arm he had used to clash with Yi Tianyun had been completely shattered by the Frenzy Power!

"My arm! My arm!" Li Hao cried out from the ground, clutching his shattered limb. His face was ashen. The entire arm hung limp, blood pouring from it in a gruesome display.

"I am relying on my ’bit of brute strength’ to deal with you. So what?" Yi Tianyun said, walking toward Li Hao step by step, his gaze icy.

The girl standing nearby covered her mouth in shock, completely stunned by the scene. He had sent Li Hao flying with a single punch in a head-on clash. If his first success was due to a sneak attack, this was a straightforward victory. He had truly defeated Li Hao!

This meant the young man’s cultivation level was definitely higher than Li Hao’s. It wasn’t just brute force that allowed him to crush his opponent. After all, if someone possessed such immense physical strength, their cultivation couldn’t possibly be weak.

"You... go to hell!" Li Hao roared. He slammed his good hand on the ground to launch himself into the air. Five Divine Rune Talismans appeared in his hand, and he immediately hurled them forward.

"Watch out! Those are Flame Burst Talismans! They’re incredibly powerful!" the girl hastily warned Yi Tianyun.

The warning had barely left her lips when the Flame Burst Talismans detonated. Five roaring Fire Dragons surged forth, instantly engulfing Yi Tianyun. The power of these talismans was immense; they were Fifth-Grade Divine Talismans, each one comparable to a full-force strike from an expert at the first or second layer of the Core Condensation Realm! With five of them combined, the power was even more terrifying. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Hahaha! Your brute strength was impressive, but you still died by my hand in the end!" Li Hao roared with laughter, his face contorted in a savage grin as he watched the terrifying flames engulf a huge area, scorching the earth and leaving nothing in their wake.

"Oh really? Who died?" a ghostly voice whispered right next to Li Hao’s ear. Startled, Li Hao whipped his head around, only to be met by a massive fist!

POW!

Li Hao was sent flying by the punch, which struck him squarely in the head. His head exploded on impact. He was killed instantly, as dead as one could be.

"Ding! Successfully killed Li Hao. Gained 350,000 experience points, 4,300 Madness Value, and Divine Rune Proficiency increased by 500 points! Obtained Martial Arts: Mysterious Step and Celestial Wind Palm. Obtained Items: Residual Cloud Pen (Mid-Grade Soul Artifact), Fifth-Grade Divine Rune (Random), and Tyrant Pattern Paper (Rare)!"

He had crushed Li Hao with ease. He hadn’t even needed to activate Mad Damage Mode; his terrifying brute strength alone was more than enough to overwhelm him. After killing Li Hao, Yi Tianyun quickly looted the Storage Ring from his body. ’A Divine Rune Master’s Storage Ring is sure to have plenty of good stuff inside.’

Yi Tianyun was full of scorn. ’Only five hundred Divine Rune Proficiency points, and he had the nerve to call himself a Divine Rune Master? He was just a powerful Fifth-Grade Divine Rune Master, that’s all. A complete fraud.’

"You... you actually killed Master Li Hao..." The few henchmen who had been sent flying by the girl’s talisman earlier stared in fury when they saw Yi Tianyun kill Li Hao. "You... you’re a dead man! You’re all dead...!"

THUD!

Yi Tianyun dashed over and sent them flying with a kick, killing them instantly. He showed no mercy.

"No, *you’re* the ones who are dead," Yi Tianyun said, but they were already beyond hearing.
