What is he doing?
Not far away, many Half-step Innate experts hiding in the grassland army watched Wang Hao's strange behavior with puzzlement, not understanding what it meant.
Faced with such a near-desperate predicament, instead of trying to escape, the other party inexplicably stopped. Have they lost their mind?
"Something's not right. He might be preparing some kind of secret technique. We can't let him succeed. Let's launch another strong attack!"
The burly old man at the head of the group frowned, a strange unease creeping into his heart, as if a great calamity was about to befall him.
"Attack? How can we launch a strong attack when our weapons are almost broken? With our fists?"
A bald old man looked at the long stick that was now only half-broken in his hand, his heart filled with gloom.
The others were in much the same state; their weapons were damaged to varying degrees.
This was all caused by the previous forced breach of Wang Hao's sword formation. After all, each flying sword in Wang Hao's sword formation could unleash an impact force of 270,000 jin.
This is the purest form of power!
When Wang Hao realized something was wrong, he disregarded the damage to the flying sword and directly increased its speed to the limit, so the impact force it could unleash naturally soared to the highest standard.
In that single strike, more than half of the flying swords shattered into dust on the spot.
However, none of these people were in good shape. Even though they were all Half-step Innate experts, it was still quite difficult for them to withstand the impact of 270,000 jin.
If they hadn't been prepared, they would have been seriously injured on the spot, or even killed.
Even so, their weapons were all damaged to some extent, and would surely be completely destroyed if they were used again.
Their original plan was to hide among the grassland army and harass them, thus slowing down Wang Hao's retreat.
But if they were to launch another strong attack now, given their current condition and the fact that the enemy was on guard, even if they succeeded, they would likely lose half their men.
Their real goal was to obtain the so-called method for breaking through to the Innate Realm from Wang Hao in order to extend their dwindling lifespan. Why would they risk their lives for that?
Wouldn't it be a huge loss if we failed at this final step?
Glancing at the expressions of everyone present, the burly old man at the head of the group remained silent with a gloomy face. He knew he couldn't persuade these old guys, and could only stare intently at Wang Hao in the very center of the battlefield, praying in his heart that the opponent's secret technique wouldn't be too terrifying.
However, what you least expect is what happens. Just as everyone was worrying, the rumbling of the dark clouds in the sky became more and more intense, and the lightning within the thunderclouds flashed more and more frequently, showing a faint tendency to converge on this place.
At first, they didn't pay much attention, but when a blazing white bolt of lightning struck down from the thunderclouds, its target being the floating, counterfeit Hero Sword, everyone's mind went blank, followed by boundless terror.
Lightning!
"Could that kid possibly control lightning?"
"I understand now. This is the Heavenly Sword Heart Method that kid was talking about. It possesses the power to control the forces of heaven and earth, and lightning is also a force of heaven and earth!"
"Damn it, that kid actually has such tricks up his sleeve! I think we should retreat now!"
Those Half-step Innate experts, with their stronger wills, were the first to regain their senses, and a look of fear appeared on their faces as they considered retreating.
That kid was terrifying enough to begin with, but now he's even using his ability to Lightning Control! How are they supposed to fight him?!
Compared to his opponent's shock and fear, Wang Hao felt quite miserable.
He did indeed draw the lightning down, and used his own magnetic field to bind it within his body, temporarily using himself as a battery.
In modern times, this would be tantamount to suicide, but in the world of martial arts, it's different. With his current physical strength, plus the buffering effect of his Bloodline Power and Innate Qi, he can barely withstand this amount of lightning power.
Of course, it was only barely bearable.
Sensing the rapidly depleting Bloodline Power within his body, Wang Hao's face darkened.
He discovered two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
Fortunately, the power of lightning had the effect of tempering the body, and the effect was amazing. In just the blink of an eye, his physical strength had increased significantly, and his strength had increased by several hundred kilograms.
Although a few hundred pounds of strength is nothing compared to his own strength of hundreds of thousands of pounds, it is still countless times faster than his cultivation on his own, and even cultivation with the help of a magnetic field cannot compare.
The bad news is that this cultivation method is too brutal and causes great damage to oneself, leading to a rapid depletion of Bloodline Power.
Judging from this trend, the Bloodline Power will probably only last for a minute at most.
"Damn, if I had known it would be like this, I would have eaten some blood-nourishing medicinal food before coming!"
Wang Hao felt a pang of regret. In order to make room in his stomach to store nourishing and invigorating medicinal meals to replenish the consumption of Divine Sense and Innate Qi, he had not prepared blood-nourishing medicinal meals.
Now things are really bad; the little bit of Bloodline Power he has stored up won't last long at all.
He also needs time to figure out the method for creating the knock-off electromagnetic railgun, which also takes time.
In other words, he must now maintain the state of storing lightning power within his body, and then use himself as a foundation to slowly try and fine-tune until he deduces the optimal solution.
Although we don't know how long this simulation will take, it definitely won't be something that can be done in a minute.
Therefore, he needs medicinal herbs to replenish his health!
"Girl, throw all the healing pills you have over here."
Sensing that nearly half of his Bloodline Power had been depleted, Wang Hao hurriedly asked Dingzhen, a girl not far away, for help.
He knew that this girl carried a lot of pills with her, and had given quite a few to the injured huskies before.
"We're out of pills, how about blood ginseng?"
Dingzhen's face showed a hint of bitterness. She had just fed all the pills she carried to her huskies. After all, recovering from such injuries required a large amount of Bloodline Power, so it was necessary to replenish it.
Fortunately, she visited the medicine cave on her way down the mountain and brought out all the most precious blood-replenishing herbs, which were perfect for replenishing the depletion of her Bloodline Power.
Bring them all here!
Upon hearing the words "blood ginseng," Wang Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly urged them on.
"Second Master, take this!"
Without daring to delay, Dingzhen quickly took off a bundle hanging around Big White's neck and threw it over.
Wang Hao reached out and caught it, then opened it and almost burst out laughing.
Inside the bundle were eight thousand-year-old blood ginseng roots, along with several other precious medicinal herbs used for replenishing blood and healing injuries, whose medicinal power was in no way weaker than that of the blood ginseng.
He hurriedly grabbed a blood ginseng and swallowed it in a few bites, like gnawing on a radish. He then circulated his Innate Qi to accelerate the refining process, finally replenishing his Bloodline Power before it was completely depleted.
Without daring to stop, Wang Hao quickly swallowed all the blood ginseng herbs in the bundle.
Only after doing all this did he begin to calmly use his Dao Comprehension Function to deduce the method of deploying the electromagnetic cannon.
Although he couldn't obtain the high-precision instruments and materials of modern times, he had other advantages.
In the modern, Dharma-ending Age, humans can only manipulate electromagnetic fields with the help of external scientific instruments. However, Wang Hao has now cultivated an internal magnetic field, making his control over it far more precise and powerful than those scientific instruments.
Another point is that he possesses a secret technique for refining weapons, which allows him to stimulate the magnetic field of the weapon itself to its limit, maximizing its effectiveness.
With these two advantages, coupled with ample theoretical knowledge, he quickly deduced the method of deploying the knock-off electromagnetic railgun.
Meanwhile, outside, the grassland army, initially intimidated by Wang Hao's lightning-summoning technique, saw that Wang Hao hadn't launched any offensive for Jiujiu and assumed it was just a show. Coupled with the constant urging from their superiors and the promise of a hefty reward, the grassland army, filled with greed, launched another attack.
However, this time they were smarter. Instead of charging forward themselves, they drove the extra horses over and stabbed them in the back, causing the frightened horses to charge forward and wear down the enemy's flying swords.
Horses also vary in quality. The top-tier horses are naturally warhorses, and only one out of ten ordinary horses can be considered a qualified warhorse. The extra horses they carry are just ordinary ones, used at most to carry spoils of war, so they are not too distressed if they are lost.
"It's time to send you on your way!"
Suddenly, Wang Hao opened his eyes, Sisi lightning flashed in his starry eyes. His left hand was still pointed straight at the sky with his fingers together like a sword, and the fine steel chain was wrapped around his hand. His other hand was raised horizontally, and a long sword flew out from the back of the Big White body under Dingzhen not far away, hovering in front of Wang Hao's left hand.
Wang Hao had previously bound his steed and the white wolf with longswords, and these were the best quality ones. When he was protecting himself and Dingzhen, he had also protected the flying swords on the steed and the white wolf, which were just enough for him to use now.
Intense electric light surged from Wang Hao's body, converging around the longsword to form a thick and eerie electromagnetic field, continuously accumulating terrifying power.
When all the electricity in his body was released, Wang Hao released the magnetic field seal, and the flying sword immediately transformed into a beam of orange-red light and shot out.
Everything in the way was pierced and torn apart, clearing a passage that was ten feet wide and several feet long.
Unfortunately, despite its terrifying power, it failed to penetrate the innermost layer of cannon fodder horses and didn't even injure a single person.
"Haha... I thought it was some kind of trick, but it's just child's play. Men, charge up there! Break through that defensive perimeter and you'll be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep, and ten Han female slaves. If you wound those two, you'll be rewarded with ten thousand cattle and sheep, and a hundred Han female slaves. And whoever can cut off those two heads will get ten times the reward, and Laozi 'll make him my daughter's husband!"
After being startled, Khan Wantu laughed heartily and ordered his army to intensify their offensive, promising a generous reward.
This caused a stir among the entire foreign army. You see, for some reason, Khan Wantu had very few children, only a son and a daughter. His son, Prince Dula, had died tragically in battle when he led his army into Huaxia last time, so he only had a daughter.
If Khan Wantu were to pass away, the Golden Knife Prince Consort would practically be his only successor.
This is an irresistible temptation!
With such a generous reward, brave men were bound to emerge. The entire grassland army went wild, urging all their horses forward.
Although it was somewhat crazy, they weren't stupid. They wouldn't personally charge forward until they had completely exhausted those flying swords.
Wang Hao was somewhat bewildered by this achievement. After all, he had prepared for so long, even enduring the pain of being struck by lightning, but all he had produced was this thing, far from the power he had envisioned.
"Fool, you were cowardly and afraid of death before, only drawing down the smallest bolt of lightning, and even deliberately diverting 90% of the lightning's power into the earth. After tempering your body, you consumed nearly half of it. It's already quite impressive that you have this much power."
The Xiao Mengmeng in the System Space couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but roll her eyes and remind him that this guy's IQ was indeed quite unreliable at some crucial moments.
For example, when she transformed into her new form to take the test before she transmigrated, that guy, with the intention of saving her, actually pushed her into the river. If she were really a human little Loli, she would probably have died long ago!
"Oh right! How could I forget that!"
Wang Hao Satori what was going on. Ignoring Xiao Mengmeng's mocking tone, he turned to the increasingly frenzied grassland army around him and revealed a sinister smile. Then, he looked up at the sky and pushed the lightning-attracting magnetic field of the counterfeit Hero Sword, which was still suspended high in the air, to its maximum.
It's time for Master Hao to retaliate!
