Chapter 77: Surround and Kill
In the main hall of the palace in He’an City, the Eternal Harmony Hall, a magnificent nine-round table is placed in the center.
With the grand and solemn hall, it exudes supreme prestige, dignity, and solemnity.
Nine people dressed in luxurious and dignified attire are seated around the table, eight men and one woman.
In front of each table are two volumes of books, namely “The Path of Warriors” and “Complete Interpretation of Runes”.
The main seat is an old man wearing a red and golden high-collared animal pattern robe.
His face is wrinkled, and his hair is all white, but his eyes still shine brightly.
He is the Lord of He’an City, the Grand Elder, the King of Men, the Ancestor of Warriors, the strongest among humans.
The King of Men spoke, “Please speak, everyone”
At this moment, a tall man in golden armor and a blue cloak stood up.
His beard was all grown out, and his voice was like a tolling bell, “King of Men, this is against the rules.
No matter who this ‘passerby’ is, before spreading this kind of thing, their consent is needed”
This tall man in golden armor is none other than the Lord of Tufang City, the Fifth Elder, an Ancestor of Warriors.
The Third Elder stroked his gray beard with his hand and nodded, “That’s right.
Since ancient times, the secrets that cannot be casually spread belong to the masters.
However, these two books have been spread indiscriminately, which is undermining the foundation of the nine cities”
The skinny face of the Seventh Elder was filled with smiles and wrinkles.
He chuckled, “I actually think that this ‘passerby’ is an extraordinary genius.
These two volumes of books are simply unimaginable”
The Fifth Elder glared with anger, spitting as he spoke, “Nonsense! Who does he think he is, a genius? The nine of us here have broken through the shackles of the human bloodline with our own strength and reached the pinnacle of this world.
We are the true geniuses”
This comment struck a nerve with the Seventh Elder, and he couldn’t respond.
He could only chuckle a few times and continue to browse through the two volumes of books in front.
The Third Elder then said, “This ‘passerby’ does have some merits, but he has committed taboos.
What a pity”
The Fourth Elder, a middle-aged man with a square face, had no expression on his face and spoke in a rigid manner, “He cannot be allowed to stay”
The Ninth Elder, a glamorous woman in her thirties but actually over fifty, covered her mouth and chuckled, “Why can’t he be allowed to stay? I’m very interested in this ‘passerby’! Kekeke”
As she spoke, her seductive gaze scanned the elderly men in the room provocatively, saying, “Could it be that you are afraid”
The Fifth Elder immediately slammed the table and pointed at the Ninth Elder, saying sternly, “How dare you”
“You, old woman, can’t speak, right”
The ninth elder responded with a disdainful look, completely ignoring it, indicating that it was beneath him to speak with such a man.
The fifth elder became even more furious.
The third elder immediately intervened, saying, “Take it easy, let’s not ruin our harmony.
Fifth elder, please sit down”
The fifth elder pointed at the ninth elder and said, “She..”
The third elder’s face turned serious and he commanded, “Sit down”
The fifth elder angrily returned to their seat, wearing a disgruntled expression.
The rest remained silent.
They all knew that no matter what they said, the final decision would be made by the King of Humans, so it didn’t matter if they spoke or not.
The King of Humans was merely listening.
Once he heard a satisfactory response, he would make a decision and end the council.
At this moment, the third elder stood up and stroked his short beard as he said slowly, “Since this ‘guest’ has shaken the foundation of our Nine Cities and violated taboos, let’s follow the rules.
However, considering that he is also a talent, if he is willing to listen to our arrangements, we can spare his life”
He then looked around and finally turned to the King of Humans, saying, “I propose three things: First, retrieve all the scattered copies of ‘The Warrior’s Path’ and ‘Rune Compendium’ and permanently ban these two books.
Second, send people to find the ‘guest’ and bring him back for us to deal with face to face.
Third, establish a Rune Exploration Academy to cultivate talented individuals of our human race”
“I would like to know…what does the King of Humans think”
The King of Humans opened his eyes and slowly spoke, “What do you all think”
Everyone else knew that this was also the King of Humans’ opinion, so they didn’t mind.
As for the question of whether the ‘Warrior’s Path’ and ‘Rune Compendium’ had already been scattered and whether they could be retrieved, none of the people present doubted it.
They had absolute confidence in their control over the human race.
Seeing that no one was speaking, the King of Humans nodded and said, “So be it then”
The meeting came to an end.
The meeting was over, but the actions had just begun.
The King of Humans directly arranged for ten grandmaster-level experts to initiate a pursuit of Su Hao, aiming to bring him back in the shortest possible time.
…
Su Hao was still happily selling books, getting further and further away.
He couldn’t even tell where he was on the Eternal Harmony Continent anymore.
He knew that what he was doing might bring danger, so he remained vigilant at all times, keeping his radar open for a range of two thousand kilometers.
If things didn’t seem right, he would immediately flee.
On this day, after selling all his books and about to leave, his radar showed that there were ten powerful auras approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
“Ten grandmaster warriors”
Su Hao’s scalp tingled.
They really thought highly of him, dispatching ten elite warriors of the human race to surround him.
“Run”
This was Su Hao’s first reaction.
Only a madman would try to face ten grandmasters as a grandmaster himself.
He immediately chose the direction with the weakest aura response and attempted to break through.Although the blood reaction of the selected direction of the Grand Tutor warrior is the weakest, it is still higher than Su Hao.
But it doesn’t matter, he still has runes.
“Pokong,” he activated the first rune to reduce wind resistance, then “burst” to increase speed, “change color” to reduce presence, “coordinate” to maintain balance…
Su Hao’s speed is getting faster and it seems like he’s about to break the sound barrier.
And these ten Grand Tutor-level warriors seem to be able to accurately locate Su Hao’s position and continue to surround him.
“What’s going on”
Su Hao was full of question marks.
He sensed that the other party is normal, but how could they sense him? Could it be that the other party is using some method he doesn’t know about?
In a few seconds, he would soon come face-to-face with one of the Grand Tutor-level warriors.
Su Hao immediately activated the runes on his armor, “firm,” “deflect,” “barrier,” “oscillate,” while also activating the runes on his two swords, the long sword being “firm,” “sharp,” “penetrate,” “rotate,” and the short sword being “firm,” “sharp,” “penetrate,” “corrode”
The next second, Su Hao saw the other party.
This Grand Tutor warrior was wearing a blue-grey patterned armor, with a resolute and indifferent old face revealed under the helmet, holding a wide-bladed long sword that flashed with a grayish light.
Su Hao’s mind went blank: “Isn’t this the rune sword? Is the enemy using the weapon I created to attack me”
Su Hao suddenly showed a strange smile, what a joke, playing with runes in front of him?
Then they made the wrong decision.
Su Hao held both swords in his hands, adjusting his body position while charging, preparing to exert force.
He got closer.
The next second would determine the outcome.
“Triple burst – Shadow Glide”
“Boom – ”
After a loud noise, the dust exploded, and Su Hao had already disappeared in front of the Grand Tutor-level warrior.
The Grand Tutor-level warrior was initially confused, then his long sword shattered in his hand, and his field of vision followed the broken blade, rotating several circles in the air before falling to the ground.
“Clang ~” “Pa sha sha ~”
These were the sounds of the broken blade falling and the sound of a head rolling into the bushes.
“Bang”
A dull sound, and the body fell to the ground.
Su Hao, who passed by, didn’t even look back as he went far away.
In that moment of passing by, Su Hao made two strikes, his right hand’s long sword cutting off the opponent’s blade, and his left hand’s short sword severing the opponent’s neck, just like that.
But the key to success was his speed.
“Triple burst” instantly doubled his speed.The chief warrior Wu Zhe had no chance to react.
His head and long knife were cut into two pieces by Su Hao.
In just a few breaths, nine chief warrior Wu Zhe gathered around the beheaded warrior.
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
One of the white water-clothed warriors seemed to be the leader.
He frowned and looked in the direction Su Hao had left, his voice cold: “Chase! No matter what, we must bring him back”
Then he turned to one of the warriors with a bad nose and asked, “Lao Cao, can you track him”
Lao Cao nodded.
The crowd fell silent and immediately chased after Su Hao in the direction he fled. (End of this chapter) Chapter 78: One Master vs.
