Star Gate

Chapter 688: Supernaturals Are Trash (I)

“You broke a supernatural lock?” Someone gaped at Li Hao. The young man didn’t respond—he simply vanished. Both parties took a step back when his fist collided with another, whereupon Li Hao promptly vanished again.

Boom boom boom! Explosions repeatedly sounded!

“All Silver Moon martial masters can unseal yourself to the fullest!” Li Hao declared frostily. “Kill them all, I have time to suppress your locks!”

The first person to erupt with full strength as soon as those words were spoken was Yao Si. The man immediately snapped all of his locks, leaving only the tiniest sliver. He punched outward with a roar and pierced straight through the minister from the Ministry of Commerce that he fought!

“You should’ve said so earlier!” he groused. Damn this felt good!

Hou Xiaochen was at a complete loss—stunned and astonished beyond belief. There was also anger and regret rising from his heart. He suddenly howled as his presence expanded balefully with crazed fury!

“Damn it, you guys have ruined him! Cough cough cough!” A violent coughing fit drowned out everything else he would’ve said. His spear shot through the void with rage and extreme regret. He wanted to kill people!

BAM!

The spear ran straight through the head of the commander from the Ministry of Military Affairs. The man stared at the berserk Hou Xiaochen with disbelief and a refusal to accept the circumstances of his death. Ignoring him, Hou Xiaochen raised his weapon and charged his second target.

“You will suffer the vengeance of Silver Moon, our unending retribution! You will face the wrath of all Silver Moon martial masters, every last possible avengement from all of our foundations! You’ve ruined the genius of our generation!!”

His spear once more split the air as even flames burst into being around his body. Hou Xiaochen paid no attention to this—all of you have destroyed the heir of the eight families!

BOOM!

His spear seemed to move with the momentum of the ancient times as it tore through another Arcanus!

“Yao Si, your choice is correct! They... will all die!” Hou Xiaochen looked coldly at those surrounding Li Hao. He suddenly turned and charged into the sea. He Yong and the others quickly followed him. Yao Si hesitated briefly with indecision before Li Hao’s voice sounded in his ear.

“Kill everyone out there, Director Yao,” transmitted the young man. “It won’t be that easy for these old shits to kill me!”

Yao Si immediately broke through the air without protest.

KABOOM!

Pitched battle broke out over the sea. The old ministers surrounding Li Hao widened their eyes, the kid was too fast! They hadn’t anticipated how strong he’d be and the key was, they couldn’t catch up to him.

RUMBLE!

A bolt of lightning danced between them, ripping through heaven and earth again and again. Two figures materialized in the distance. The inspector general looked down at the scene with a flickering expression.

“How dare the three evil organizations trespass in Skystar City!” he roared with outrage.

BAM!

He punched through the air, aiming his fist outside the city.

“The Inspectorate executes traitors and evil supernaturals today!” his father called out. “None of you will get away!”

He was even faster as he disappeared and reappeared over the sea in the blink of an eye, blocking the Chu River King who wanted to get away. The latter jerked back in terror!

“It’s you guys...” he began shouting.

“Kill!” The old minister’s roar overwhelmed all other sounds as his blade crashed through the void. All Arcanus, supernatural abilities, and battle techniques were shattered by this blow!

The Chu River King could only watch with the greatest indignation as he was chopped into two by this blow.

The old minister coughed out of a mouthful of blood and looked back at the bedraggled Yuan Shuo vomiting blood all over the ground. “Your disciple is very strong!” He smiled.

Yuan Shuo stared coldly at him without responding. The old minister’s smile slowly disappeared; he vanished as well, shock still roiling through his heart. How was Li Hao an Arcanus? Was this good or bad?

It was difficult to come to a conclusion, but a furious slaughter was being conducted on all sides. Some wanted to run, some gave chase.

......

Li Hao blazed with power as soon as he entered Arcanus. The combination of wind and thunder made him too fast to be believed. The bursts of thunder and lightning combined were too fierce to be contended with. His condition was stable and his organs balanced. Under such circumstances, the young man was too strong to fathom.

Five old men circled Li Hao. They were premier Arcanus with stable cultivation levels. Apart from Hu Xiao who’d just died and the old inspector general who’d killed the Chu River King, there were two more old ministers yet to appear. Li Hao neither knew which ministries they were from, nor did he care.

There was only Hou Xiaochen and a few others by his side at the moment—they were swiftly killing the metamorphosis experts. Hou Xiaochen glowered, stabbing through one enemy with each thrust of his spear! The horrified metamorphoses ran for their lives. Terrified down to the last man, not many of them survived.

Li Hao flashed through the scene like lightning, striking again and again, but unable to find results. The five powerhouses paled in terms of only speed; their offensive power rivaled Li Hao and they were five against one. The young man wasn’t the slightest bit afraid, but he didn’t have the ability to fight them all.

The five old men brooded at their target. He was changing too quickly!

“Hup!”

Wham!

A massive item shaped like a whetstone descended from the sky, noticeably decreasing the young man’s speed. An old man had called upon his supernatural abilities. Li Hao didn’t know what it was, just that the air was suddenly much more viscous.

“Suppress!” An old man waved his hand and brought the whetstone down. It ground into motion, seemingly wanting to squash out Li Hao!

Hou Xiaochen killed all of the fleeing powerhouses and looked as if he was going to charge over to help.

“Go kill the Arcanus outside!” Li Hao roared. “I’ll handle these old things!”

Hou Xiaochen’s expression shifted slightly, but he left as a breeze without protestation. There were still numerous Arcanus outside.

The Steppe Prince, Dark Godless, three senior elders of Red Moon, North Sea King, and lord of Buddha Mountain were all trying to escape. Other than the old duke that Li Hao killed and the Chu River King that the old inspector general had killed, the other powerhouses were in a frenzied fit.

They scattered to the four directions without hesitation. Circumstances inside the city had taken a turn for the worse. Although Li Hao was confined, their hearts still pounded from the sight of the young man killing Hu Xiao. Adding Yao Si and Hou Xiaochen to the mix, as well as two Arcanus from the Inspectorate, the heavyweights knew that it was time to quit the rapidly devolving situation.

While Li Hao was preoccupied with several premier Arcanus, Light Sword howled with effort and erupted with light energy. She swung her sword down, making the North Sea King stumble after a loud impact.

Even though Light Sword was bringing her full force to bear, she still didn’t measure up to an Arcanus. However, the Arcanus in question only wanted to run away at the moment. Therefore, he was in no condition to fight. But an unsealed martial master was also a premier heavyweight who wouldn’t let him get away so easily.

Just as the North Sea King readied to flee one more time, his expression changed. The inspector general was here!

Wham!

A longsword manifested in the inspector general’s hand and he slashed it down with an eruption of power. Heaven and earth stood still for a solemn second as Arcanus power rushed out. That this individual could sit firmly in the position of inspector general naturally meant that his strength was a force to be reckoned with.

The newly ascended Arcanus that was the North Sea King could hardly stand against such a foe. He lost an arm as the longsword came down. He wanted to howl and curse—it was the nine ministries who had me come! But there was nothing he could say because...

The inspector general waved his longsword around again—an incredibly ferocious beast appeared on his blade and broke through the void in the blink of an eye. The longsword cut through heaven and earth!

Pfft!

It beheaded the North Sea King while the inspector general briefly stumbled. Mysterious power emanated from his body. It was apparent that his condition wasn’t the most stable. He swiftly swallowed multiple drops of Water of Life to bring himself back under control.

“The great bandit of the North Sea has been eliminated!” he roared with laughter.

An incredible explosion rang in the distance as Sky Sword pierced through the firmament. One of the three great elders of Red Moon exploded in a mixture of his own water and wood energy, and was then churned to bits by the broadsword!

The remaining two elders gasped in horror. They were three on one, but one of their own had died. Sky Sword rivaled Li Hao in his strength! He was just a bit slower as he couldn’t zip through the void like Li Hao could.

The other two elders felt their hearts shrivel up in death as Yao Si bore down on them. This was another premier powerhouse and they would have no place to run to once he was here! The skies darkened as their thoughts ran wildly, heaven and earth overturned as Sky Sword roared, “How dare you!”

A broadsword illuminated the world and struck with a loud bang! A fan had manifested in the void and stopped the sword with a portentous collision. A large hand grabbed the two elders and a person slowly walked over from the surface of the sea.

A smile hung on the newcomer’s face as he waved the fan that’d appeared in his hand. He looked at the scowling Sky Sword, then at Yao Si. “So Li Hao has set foot into the supernatural and broken his locks! What a pity, what an utter pity!”

Yuan Shuo’s eyes widened even further away and he looked across the void at the newcomer. “Ying. Hong. Yue!” he bit off!

“Long time no see, big brother Yuan!” Ying Hongyue looked over with a smile and a nod.
