"My godfather left the capital half an Tokiomi ago; he wouldn't know about this now!"
With a sinister smile, Lu Tingfeng's killing intent intensified.
Lu Weilou's high regard for Wang Hao is indeed commendable, but only living geniuses have value; the dead are nothing.
Furthermore, I must kill this person this time in order to succeed him as the leader of the Blood Robe Tower. Only he is qualified for this position, and everyone who stands in my way must die!
As for Lu Weilou's blame after he returns and learns of this, he is not worried at all. He can come up with hundreds of reasons to get away with this. He thinks that his godfather would not make things difficult for him for the sake of a genius who has already died.
"The original poster has left?"
Wang Hao was taken aback, then grinned maliciously, "Since the Lord isn't here, I can go all out."
Although Lu Tingfeng's strength is not bad, it's just so-so. He's no match for him at all, so this battle—victory is assured!
"I'm not going to waste any more words with you, I'm sending you on your way!"
Wang Hao's reaction made Lu Tingfeng frown slightly, not understanding what was going on, but he didn't intend to waste any more words, lest something unexpected happen.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he flashed forward and slashed at Wang Hao with his sword.
"That's exactly what I was thinking of sending you on your way!"
Wang Hao, showing no fear, drew his knife and charged forward.
"Clang!"
The two precious swords clashed, producing a dull thud. A figure flew backward rapidly, finally landing on the courtyard wall. It was Lu Tingfeng, who had been the main attacker earlier.
Lu Tingfeng glanced at his trembling right arm holding the knife, and his expression turned serious.
He suffered a silent loss in that collision. Although he knew that Wang Hao was a master of external martial arts and had a tall and strong physique, he did not expect him to be so powerful.
He had seen many masters of external martial arts, and had even encountered a lama who practiced the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art while on a mission in the borderlands, but the lama's strength was still far inferior to that of Wang Hao.
Although he was shocked by this, it also intensified his killing intent.
This kid's talent is too monstrous. He already possesses such terrifying strength with only the Peak Super-First-Rate. If he breaks through to the Grandmaster Realm, I'm afraid I won't be his match.
This is a formidable enemy, and the most threatening competitor for the position of the leader, so we must seize this opportunity to eliminate him!
With a surge of murderous intent, Lu Tingfeng circulated his internal energy to relieve the soreness and numbness in his arm, and charged forward again with his knife.
This time, Lu Tingfeng did not confront Wang Hao head-on. Instead, he unleashed his signature Blood Rain Saber Technique, launching cunning, ruthless, and extremely fast attacks.
What's even more terrifying is that a layer of Saber Qi Saber Qi has condensed on the blade of the treasured sword in his hand. Even Wang Hao, who is confident in his strong defense, dares not let it attack him.
Like Saber Qi energy, saber energy is a technique that can only be used by experts at the Acquired Grandmaster Realm, and only those who have comprehended Sword Intent and Saber Intent are qualified to use it.
That can be considered a form of energy attack, and it's extremely powerful.
Zhao Fengxue once easily sliced off a small piece from the Red Gold arm armor with a single sword strike, demonstrating the terrifying power of this type of energy attack.
At this moment, Lu Tingfeng concentrated his Saber Qi on the blade. Even though the opponent's treasured sword was not as good as the Dragon-Slaying Saber, it could still clash head-on with the Dragon-Slaying Saber without suffering any damage.
However, Wang Hao on the other side was not at a disadvantage. He wielded the Dragon-Slaying Saber and unleashed the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle. Even without Saber Qi and saber energy, he still fought Lu Tingfeng to a standstill.
The fight lasted for half Tokiomi, and Wang Hao remained calm and composed, even observing Lu Tingfeng's swordsmanship.
Speaking of Lu Tingfeng's swordsmanship, it can be considered an extreme form of unorthodox swordsmanship. Instead of the inherent strength and bravery of swordsmanship, it appears sinister, eerie, and ruthless, which is extremely similar to the swordsmanship style of Japanese pirates.
This also reflects that the other party's personality is indeed the dark type, no wonder Elder Chu said that the other party has a wicked heart.
However, Lu Tingfeng's movement speed was indeed strangely fast, even surpassing his Lightning Straight-Line Step. Several times, he was able to unleash a fatal attack to completely annihilate him, but in the end, Lu Tingfeng dodged it with his uncanny movement.
At the same time, Lu Tingfeng truly lived up to his reputation as a martial arts genius who even amazed Zhao Dachui, his strength far surpassing that of other experts of the same level.
This posed a slight challenge for Wang Hao, but only a slight one; with his current strength, he was more than capable of defeating it.
Wang Hao's team was getting more and more relaxed as the game progressed, and even gained a certain advantage. However, Lu Tingfeng on the other side was having a hard time, and was filled with shock and anger.
This was completely different from what he had expected. He had originally thought that no matter how strong Wang Hao was, he would only last a hundred moves at most in his hands.
But now that guy has not only withstood a hundred moves, but has also suppressed him to a disadvantageous position.
His opponent's moves were extremely strange and seemed to be able to counter his swordsmanship. Many times he had to change his moves midway, and he suffered considerable backlash after many such incidents.
Just as Lu Tingfeng was pondering a solution, a raindrop fell from the sky onto his cheek, filling him with joy.
He retreated rapidly, escaping the Lu Tingfeng, and caught the Sisi rain falling from the sky, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
"It seems even the heavens are on my side; this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Wang Hao frowned slightly, not quite understanding Lu Tingfeng's meaning, but he quickly grasped it.
Lu Tingfeng brandished his treasured sword, and a burst of Saber Qi suddenly shot out, hurtling towards Wang Hao.
" Saber Qi leaves the body!"
Seeing the rapidly approaching Saber Qi of energy, Wang Hao was shocked and quickly swung his Dragon-Slaying Saber to strike back.
When the Saber Qi collided with the Dragon-Slaying Saber, the Dragon-Slaying- Slaying Saber, forged from Profound Iron, remained unharmed, but the Saber Qi shattered, turning into countless fragments that enveloped Wang Hao.
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
Countless fragments of Saber Qi, sharp as blades, shot towards Wang Hao, but they were like hitting tough raw hide, failing to cause him the slightest harm.
"So it was a trick! That gave me quite a fright!"
Seeing this result, Wang Hao breathed a huge sigh of relief.
To unleash Saber Qi aura attack from outside the body, it must be condensed to its extreme. This is a skill that only Xiantian Grandmaster or Half-step Innate Realm expert can generally achieve.
Although some exceptionally talented Grandmaster can also do it, they are extremely rare.
He had previously thought that Lu Tingfeng was also a super genius like that!
But little did they know that their opponent had simply used a trick, attaching the Saber Qi to the rain to unleash it.
Although this is also a way to separate the Saber Qi from the body, it is a trick, and the rainwater has limited carrying capacity, which will greatly weaken the strength of the Saber Qi energy.
This method is very effective against normal strong individuals, and even those at the Late Grandmaster Level must be dealt with with caution.
However, this was ineffective against someone like Wang Hao who cultivated external martial arts to an extreme level, which is why those fragments of Saber Qi did not harm him in the slightest.
It should be noted that he not only mastered the External Training Golden Bell Shield to its peak, but also unexpectedly mutated with the Serpent King's precious blood, causing his skin's defensive capabilities to surge, making it perfectly capable of withstanding this level of attack.
"Let's see how many more times you can block that!"
Lu Tingfeng was taken aback when his highly anticipated move failed to achieve the desired effect, but he quickly recovered and roared as he unleashed a series of frenzied slashes with his sword, channeling his Saber Qi into the rain to launch a fierce attack on Wang Hao.
This ultimate move is the strongest killing move of the Blood Rain Saber Technique Blade Technique, which he modified from the Blood Sword Hall's inherited Dripping Blood Swordsmanship Sword Technique. It can use rainwater to create Saber Qi that leaves the body and is extremely sharp.
In this rainy weather, he can unleash his full power beyond his usual level; this move will surely kill that guy here.
However, after confirming that the ranged Saber Qi he unleashed was insufficient to break through his defenses, Wang Hao completely unleashed his full power, using the Lightning Straight-Line Step technique and wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber to pursue and kill Lu Tingfeng of the Full Blood Sword Hall.
Helpless, Lu Tingfeng could only use his lightness skill to run and dodge while continuing to use the rain to unleash Saber Qi to attack Wang Hao from a distance. Sometimes he would even turn around and use a few vicious and ruthless sword techniques.
On a rooftop of the Blood Sword Hall, a figure surveyed the battle below, but shook his head and sighed slightly.
Who else could this be but Zhao Dachui?
Ever since he learned of the conflict between Lu Tingfeng and Wang Hao, he knew that a battle between the two was inevitable, so he kept a close eye on the situation and rushed over as soon as he heard the sounds of fighting.
Anyway, Lu Weilou wasn't there, and his father was a close friend of Lu Weilou, practically inseparable. It wasn't a big deal for him to come and watch the show, and it wouldn't matter even if the Blood Sword Hall people saw him.
"Foolish! Changing the Dripping Blood Swordsmanship to a knife technique may seem to reduce the difficulty, but it also greatly reduces its power."
After watching for a while, Zhao Dachui gave a foolish evaluation of Lu Tingfeng's Blood Rain Saber Technique.
When the Dripping Blood Swordsmanship is cultivated to its peak, one can use water droplets to separate sword energy from the body. However, this is an extremely refined result, and its power is not much weaker than that of the orthodox sword energy separation technique.
However, the Saber Qi that Lu Tingfeng created didn't work when it left his body; the power was too dispersed, thus reducing the strength of the Saber Qi.
It might be able to handle ordinary strong opponents, but it falls short against those who wear precious armor, have cultivated protective qi, or are masters of external martial arts like Wang Hao.
Simply put, this method is only suitable for clearing out weaker opponents; it won't work against truly skilled opponents.
Although Lu Tingfeng's cultivation had reached the Mid Grandmaster Level, his internal energy was also limited. After unleashing over a hundred Saber Qi, he still couldn't harm Wang Hao in the slightest, so he could only retreat unwillingly.
Seeing Lu Tingfeng retreat, Wang Hao immediately shouted, "Chief Lu, I have won today's battle! Don't forget what you promised. If you forget, I will remind you!"
"Snort!"
Lu Tingfeng, who had already run far away, responded with a cold snort. He could naturally tell that Wang Hao was threatening him, but he had no choice but to accept it because he was no match for him.
However, he didn't take it to heart. After all, it was just some medicinal food. Even if that guy ate as much as he wanted, how much could he possibly eat?
It's a trivial matter; just give the order.
The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise, if he continues to grow in the Blood Sword Hall, it will be a great threat to his succession as the leader.
"Poor child!"
Zhao Dachui gracefully landed, watching Lu Tingfeng's departing figure with a look of pity.
Their Blood Wind Hall was quite well-off, but Wang Hao still managed to bankrupt them within a month, leaving them with debts of over a million taels.
Although the Blood Sword Hall is from the same lineage as the Lord and has a more solid foundation, it still absolutely cannot withstand Wang Hao's consumption.
The bankruptcy of the Blood Sword Hall was almost inevitable!
"Yes! He really is a pitiful child!"
Wang Hao nodded in agreement, feeling quite pleased with himself.
He was originally worried about how to find a pretext to make the medicinal cuisine into an extra-large portion, but unexpectedly, Lu Tingfeng delivered it to his door, saving him a lot of trouble.
What a kind and understanding person!
"Don't let your guard down. Lu Tingfeng is no simple man. He's ruthless and unscrupulous. My father even suspects that the fact that the Boss almost failed to steal the Great Rejuvenation Pill from Shaolin Temple last year might be related to him."
Zhao Dachui's expression changed, and he solemnly warned Wang Hao.
"You mean Lu Tingfeng wants to harm the Lord of the Pavilion?"
Wang Hao understood the implied meaning in Zhao Dachui's words, and his expression became extremely serious.
If that's the case, then Lu Tingfeng is an incredibly Ruthless, and we definitely need to be careful when dealing with him.
"With the Peak Grandmaster Realm can live for at least another twenty years. Lu Tingfeng will not be willing to wait for twenty years. Moreover, this person has been secretly communicating with Fu Lin, Ye Qinggan and others. He has probably already gained the support of those old guys. Once the Lord of the Pavilion dies, he will directly take over the position."
Nodding, Zhao Dachui had never underestimated Lu Tingfeng. After all, the other party had been personally evaluated by Elder Chu as having a wicked heart, and Elder Chu had even personally intervened to suppress the proposal to make him the successor of the sect leader.
Clearly, this person has enormous ambitions. Once he becomes the leader of the Blood Robe Tower, he will bring great disaster and may even destroy the Blood Robe Tower.
After all, for someone with such ambition, it would be impossible to be satisfied with just the position of the Blood Robe Tower Master.
I'll be careful!
Nodding solemnly, Wang Hao changed the subject and asked, "Are the things I asked for ready?"
"Do you need to worry about me? As soon as you mentioned it when I got back yesterday, I personally went out to find a place for you. I arranged it in the forge where you forged the Red Gold arm armor last time. Would you like to go take a look now?"
Zhao Dachui chuckled in response, while also feeling a bit curious and wanting to follow along to see what was going on.
After all, although he knew that Wang Hao's forging skills were good, he had never seen them in person. The fact that he had specially asked Wang Hao to procure such an item meant that the item he had forged this time was obviously extraordinary.
