After testing the power of "Shadowless Trace," Qin Hao wasted no more time. He launched an all-out attack on the hundred Guardians.
The hundred Guardians were formidable. Had their number been halved, or even reduced by a third, Qin Hao would have had a much easier time defeating them. But a hundred fighting together were far stronger than fifty.
The battle did not end until nearly Half a Quarter Hour had passed.
Only Qin Hao and the White-Clothed Youth who represented the others remained in midair. Everyone else had fallen to the ground, their Life Aura gone.
Even the White-Clothed Youth was pale and visibly in agony. A massive sword wound ran across his chest, nearly piercing all the way through.
Destruction Laws and Vitality Laws rippled within the wound.
The Destruction Laws kept corroding the White-Clothed Youth's body, while the Vitality Laws... prevented him from using True Essence or Destruction Laws to resist.
As one force waxed and the other waned, his Life Aura faded bit by bit.
"What's that sword move called?" the White-Clothed Youth asked, panting as he looked at Qin Hao.
"Shadowless Trace," Qin Hao replied flatly.
"Very strong."
The White-Clothed Youth closed his eyes briefly and felt the wound in his chest. A bitter smile crossed his face.
All hundred Guardians had attacked Qin Hao together, yet Qin Hao had defeated them one by one. In the end, only he remained, and even he had lasted this long only because the others had done everything they could to protect him.
He had never imagined the battle would end this way.
After all, each of the hundred Guardians possessed the strength Qin Hao had faced when challenging the Seventeenth Floor. Together, they could fight not just a Second-Layer Venerable Martial Venerable, but even a Third-Layer Venerable.
