C3 The Attack
C3 The Attack
The sharp sword was now in his hand.
A feeling, that he hadn't felt for a long time, came to his mind.
It was as if he had the whole world right in his palm.
The mighty aura that Lin Hao emitted suddenly became stronger. Wang Gui's body was trembling under the sacred and mighty aura of the sword. His lips quivered and couldn't say a single word. He even had the urge, deep within him, to kneel and worship Lin Hao.
"Young master."
The maid, who was severely injured, called out to Lin Hao softly with tears streaming down her face. A small smile appeared on her pale face before she fainted.
Lin Hao looked at her all over. He had inherited all the memories and emotions that came with this body. For this reason, when he saw the maid, besides the anger he felt, there was also a heart-wrenching pain.
The maid's name was Ruoshui.
She and Lin Hao had grown up together.
She was his maid.
In fact, both of them had a very good relationship; they were more like two siblings.
The fluctuation of emotions caused by Lin Hao's aura slightly dissipated. Wang Gui, who was at the Fourth Level Open Pulse State, finally regained consciousness a little bit. However, in his heart, he no longer dared to attack Lin Hao. He channeled all of his energy into his feet and decided to run away.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he had no choice but to stop in his tracks.
This was because...
Lin Hao had raised the sword in his hand.
The sharpest point of the sword was right in front of Wang Gui and if he took another step forward, his neck would collide with the sword blade.
"Tell me everything you know right here and now!" Lin Hao yelled in anger.
Wang Gui gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Lin Hao, you had better put the sword down now. Otherwise, you will regret your actions."
As soon as he was done speaking —
Lin Hao shook his wrist. The sharp sword instantly pierced through Wang Gui's abdomen, creating a bloody hole!
In an instant, Wang Gui let out a miserable howl like a pig being slaughtered. He fell to the ground and rolled around.
"Speak!" Lin Hao ordered in a cold tone.
Wang Gui didn't dare to refuse this time.
He immediately explained everything he knew to Lin Hao.
During the three days Lin Hao's cultivation was abolished, some of them were still loyal to him. They tried severally to bring him out of the woodshed to save him but they were all stopped by the Grand Elder's strength. Grand Elder borrowed the strength of the Xiao family to take down all those who didn't agree with him, thereby successfully taking over the entire Lin family.
In addition, he joined forces with the people of the Xiao family and was heading to the Ancestral Land of the Lin family. He planned to let his grandson, Lin Shan, enter the Ancestral Land and undergo the baptism of the Sword Pool to become the new Patriarch of the Lin family.
If Lin Shan succeeded in obtaining the baptism of the Ancestral Land, he would become the Patriarch of the Lin family. As a reward, the Lin family would give 50% of their properties to the Xiao family!
As soon as Lin Hao heard this news, the cold expression on his face became even more intense.
As the Grand Elder of the Lin family, he knew that Lin Hao was framed by the Xiao family. But instead of standing up for him, he just sat and watched the whole show. He even took advantage of this by using 50% of the Lin family property to conspire with them to persecute Lin Hao. Worse still, he took the members of the Xiao family to the Ancestral Land of the Lin family.
Simply put, this was a pure betrayal of the Lin family!
After Wang Gui told them everything he knew, tears and snot flowed down his face as he begged profusely for mercy, "Young master, I'm just a servant. I'm only following orders and I can't help myself."
But Lin Hao would never believe his words.
He was the person who was like a dog that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
If he didn't come just in time, it wouldn't take long for Ruoshui to be tortured to death in his hands.
At that moment...
A group of guards from the Lin family rushed over. Around eleven or twelve of them surrounded Wang Gui.
They were attracted by his blood-curdling scream some seconds ago.
When Wang Gui saw this, he who was just begging and crying for mercy some moments ago, gained confidence all of a sudden, and said to him, "Lin Hao, you had better put down the sword you're holding and kneel in front of me to beg for mercy. Otherwise, they will shred you into pieces if I give them the order!"
With that being said, Wang Gui wanted to lift himself from the ground.
"Did I ask you to get up?" Lin Hao asked in a cold voice.
All the same, Wang Gui didn't care. He said indifferently, "In case you've forgotten, you are no longer the young master of the Lin family. You are no longer qualified to show off in front of me. I, Wang Gui, want you to become a dog under my feet. So you have to just lie down obediently. If I want you dead right now, you're as good as gone!"
As he said this, a wicked smile appeared on his face.
It was as if he was in control of the whole situation.
"Really?"
Lin Hao asked with a sneer. In the next moment, the sword in his hand was pointed forward with incredible speed. A sword light flashed and disappeared almost immediately. Wang Gui's throat had been slit by the sword!
"You..." Wang Gui muttered slowly with all the strength within him. His body, which had just gotten up halfway, lost its stamina and fell flat. With unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, he died.
When the guards saw this, their faces revealed an expression of shock. They couldn't believe their eyes!
Lin Hao just glanced at them.
Everyone of them lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with him.
In the crowd, a man shouted all of a sudden, "Listen up everybody! Lin Hao is a disgrace to this family! Right now, he wants to rebel again. If anyone succeeds in killing him, the Grand Elder will reward him handsomely!"
"Kill!"
As soon as they heard this statement...
The greed in the hearts of the others, which had been suppressed by their fear in this panic, rose. All of them held their sharp swords and rushed towards Lin Hao.
Faced with this scene, Lin Hao looked extremely calm.
In his previous life, he got to the realm of Sword God in a hundred years, and he had experienced countless battles.
It was like an everyday routine for him to fight a group of people all by himself.
Besides, he often faced a group of truly powerful martial artists!
The guards of the Lin family were merely at the second or third level of the Open Pulse State.
As far as Lin Hao was concerned, the number of people in front of him was useless.
The Sword Essence in Lin Hao's body surged and the ordinary sword in his hand burst out with a bright light, like a peerless divine sword.
His expression remained calm. The sharpness of his sword could not be compared to any other.
All of a sudden —
He slashed out!
The sword light cut all the surrounding rays of light into pieces.
This was a sword technique that was recorded in the Law-Defying Sword Manual that was suitable for the Open Pulse State Realm.
The Cultivation Technique of the True Martial World was different from pills and spiritual weapons. There were four ranks and sixteen classes. The four ranks were the Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow. Each of the sixteen classes had a lower class, medium class, upper grade, and top class.
The Law-Defying Sword Manual was an existence that surpassed the Sky-Rank top class and Cultivation Methods.
There were also many exquisite sword techniques recorded in the book. In every realm, there was a corresponding sword technique that could be used.
The Xiao family had spent a lot of effort to obtain the sword technique Lone Peak Thirteen Swords passed down by the ancestors of the Lin family to Lin Hao, and that was at the top class of Yellow Rank. This was the most powerful Martial Skill in the entire Green Cloud City.
And the sword technique that Lin Hao was using right now was also at the top class of Yellow rank. However, its power, compared to those Martial Skills at the same level, was like heaven and earth. The Lone Peak Thirteen Swords was only at the top class of Yellow rank. The sword technique that Lin Hao was using right now was at the peak of this level, and it was comparable to an ordinary Profound level Martial Skill.
The name of this sword technique was called Mighty Split-Light Sword!
Every ray of light that was cut apart became a subsidiary of Lin Hao's sword.
Recklessly, they reaped the lives of their opponents.
Painful screams rent the air one after another.
When the world regained its clarity, the ground was littered with several corpses.
These people, who had tried to kill Lin Hao, and obtain the reward from Grand Elder paid dearly with their lives for this foolish idea.
