Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Chapter 388: Chapter 384: Scaring Off Mo Yantian

Beside Marquis Mo, Mo Yantian saw Lin Hao’s movements clearly.

Mo Yantian saw it distinctly. The seven men attacked swiftly, but Lin Hao’s movements were even swifter.

He saw Lin Hao lift his leg, and at the same time, his arms suddenly shot out. His hands flipped over and grabbed two of the long sabers, seizing them precisely by the back of the blades.

Then, guided by Lin Hao, the two sabers slashed with incredible speed toward the two large hands reaching for his face.

The sabers sliced through, and the two hands were severed at the wrist. freёweɓnovel.com

At the same moment the hands were severed, Lin Hao’s body dropped, landing squarely on the arms of the two men below him.

From beginning to end, only the Martial Artist attacking Lin Hao from the front had succeeded.

However, although the Martial Artist had landed his blow, Mo Yantian heard a sharp CRACK. It was obvious the man’s wrist had broken.

Lin Hao had barely moved from his spot, yet he had injured all seven men simultaneously. This combat awareness, these fighting techniques, left Mo Yantian utterly horrified!

’His timing is just too perfect,’ Mo Yantian thought to himself. ’I couldn’t do that.’

Not only could he not do it, Mo Yantian believed that even a Martial Artist at the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm couldn’t do it!

Just then, Mo Yantian’s eyes widened abruptly.

He recalled the order in which the dozen or so Martial Artists had died.

The first two Martial Artists Lin Hao had killed were the strongest of the group, and the ones who followed were progressively weaker. By the time he got to these seven, their cultivation was only at the First or Second Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm!

’Could it be that Lin Hao planned all of this from the very beginning?!’

The thought sent a chill down Mo Yantian’s spine. ’Lin Hao... he’s too terrifying!’

’No, I can’t give him a chance to breathe! If Lin Hao really breaks out of the Little Six Harmonies Banner Array, I’m afraid even I won’t be his match.’

A shadow fell over Mo Yantian’s heart, and he prepared to strike in the next instant.

However, just at that moment...

BOOM!

An incredibly powerful tremor erupted, and terrifying fluctuations of energy burst forth from around Lin Hao.

The instant the fluctuations appeared, even Mo Yantian found it difficult to keep his footing.

Shielding Marquis Mo behind him, Mo Yantian shot backward in retreat.

THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!

Amidst the tremors, a series of faint sounds could be heard.

Hearing this sound, Mo Yantian’s expression changed drastically.

Then, Mo Yantian immediately saw the six small banners flying toward him at extreme speed, followed by the bodies of the seven Martial Artists—no, they were corpses.

Except for one, the other six had clearly been impaled by the six small banners.

The very weapons that had been used to imprison Lin Hao had now become a Life-Extending Talisman!

’And this is an Array Refined by the Ancestor! The Ancestor is a supreme expert of the Spirit Transformation Realm! Something he personally Refined was actually broken by Lin Hao!’

If it weren’t for the murderous aura coming from the six small banners, Mo Yantian wouldn’t have dared to believe it was real.

Although his cultivation was much higher than Lin Hao’s, Mo Yantian didn’t dare be the least bit careless in the face of these six small banners. He grabbed Marquis Mo and shot into the air. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The six small banners grazed the soles of his feet as they shot past, followed by the seven corpses.

Then, a bizarre scene occurred.

The incredibly fast banners suddenly halted beneath Mo Yantian’s body. They were struck by the corpses flying in behind them and then plunged precisely back into the original holes they had created.

The next moment, the seven corpses exploded with a deafening BOOM!

The banners and the corpses all turned to dust!

The powerful shockwave blasted Mo Yantian and Marquis Mo’s bodies higher, sending them soaring into the sky.

Marquis Mo and Mo Yantian were both aghast. Not daring to linger, Mo Yantian carried Marquis Mo and retreated through the air.

Marquis Mo was silent, staring blankly down at Lin Hao below.

He had lost this battle. It was a complete and utter defeat.

A dozen or so Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists, plus a supreme treasure personally Refined by the Ancestor, couldn’t even manage to injure Lin Hao.

In truth, Marquis Mo was mistaken.

As soon as their figures vanished from the sky, Lin Hao, who was standing below, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Facing more than ten Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists alone, even with a nearly invincible Body Technique, was still an extremely perilous situation. Though he appeared to be magnificently powerful, only Lin Hao himself knew the true danger involved.

Take the final attack from the seven men, for example. That one punch had caused excruciating pain throughout Lin Hao’s internal organs. Even with the protection of an Imperial Art, a single blow from a Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artist was staggering.

From that one blow, Lin Hao was seriously injured.

’Thankfully, I managed to scare Mo Yantian away. If he had attacked again, I would have been no match for him.’

Wiping the blood from his lips, Lin Hao turned around. The main gate of the Celestial Monarch’s Mansion opened on its own, and his figure promptly vanished inside.

Just as he stepped inside, Lin Hao saw Chu Yanwu, Yunxi, and Turtle Egg.

Seeing Lin Hao enter alone, Yunxi visibly relaxed. But she immediately asked with concern, "What about my royal brother?"

"Don’t worry, he’s not dead yet," Lin Hao replied.

"Master, you... you killed everyone else?" Chu Yanwu asked.

Although Chu Yanwu knew the chances of that were minuscule, with Lin Hao standing here now, it seemed to be the only explanation.

"One got away, and at the end, some guy took Marquis Mo with him," Lin Hao said coolly, shaking his head.

"What?!" Chu Yanwu exclaimed in shock. "There were fifteen Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists out there, and you actually killed fourteen of them!"

Chu Yanwu’s eyes were wide, as if he were looking at a god or a demon.

And Yunxi was looking at Lin Hao with the same expression.

A Soul Gathering Realm First Layer killing fourteen other Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists... this was nothing short of a miracle!

But Lin Hao didn’t think it was anything special. He responded indifferently, "I just relied on my Body Technique. It’s nothing to brag about."

"At least you know your own limits." Chu Yanwu was about to say more, but was cut off by a remark from Turtle Egg.

Turtle Egg’s origins were astounding, and Chu Yanwu held an instinctual fear of it. Hearing its words, he shrank back and said no more.

"I’m going to the secret chamber. Don’t bother me unless it’s important." Lin Hao completely ignored Turtle Egg and started walking deeper inside as he spoke.

"You can go, but leave two jars of wine! My mouth is getting dreadfully bland," Turtle Egg yelled after him.

Lin Hao acted as if he hadn’t heard.

Normally, Lin Hao might have dealt with it, but ever since ascending to the Soul Gathering Realm in a single thought, he had been caught in one battle after another without any time to consolidate his cultivation. Now, he was also injured. If he didn’t sort out his condition promptly, it would be extremely detrimental to his future training.

Lin Hao entered the secret chamber again, immediately sat cross-legged, and began to sort out his cultivation and physical condition.

A Martial Artist enters the Soul Gathering Realm by awakening their Divine Soul. But in Lin Hao’s case, he had entered the Soul Gathering Realm by actively stimulating his Divine Soul.

Lin Hao’s Divine Soul had existed ever since he forged his bloodline in the Blood Coagulation Realm; it was something he had created with his own hands. But all this time, he had been unable to actively call upon his Divine Soul, unless it appeared on its own during a moment of extreme crisis.

However, after reaching the Extreme Realm of the Elemental Realm, Lin Hao had a strong feeling that if he tried to stimulate his Divine Soul, it would definitely respond.

Lin Hao naturally knew what this response signified.

Then, just as Lin Hao had expected, the moment he stimulated his Divine Soul, it underwent a strange transformation.
