Chapter 402 - It Was Hard to Tell the Truth and It Was a Sudden Attack
They were witnessing Jiang Hao's prowess in action for the very first time!
But the technique he used was almost otherworldly, wasn't it?
These individuals might be considered ordinary, but that was only in comparison to martial cultivators.
Before the era of martial cultivators, they were like Wen Tao and his peers—specially trained individuals who had endured harsh regimens!
Yet, even with such backgrounds, they were effortlessly taken down!
It was then that they remembered the secret elixir Jiang Hao had previously given them.
The Third Elder glanced at the fallen men, then turned his attention to his father, Uncle Hai, and the rest.
“Uncle Hai, Wen Tao, take my dad and hide. I'll handle the Nether King's Hall's goons,” he instructed.
Uncle Hai and Wen Tao quickly responded with due reverence.
“Yes, Mr. Jiang!”
Jiang Weiping, upon hearing this, couldn't hide his concern for his son.
“Hao Hao, please be extra careful!”
The Third Elder offered a reassuring smile to his father.
“Dad, rest easy! Today, you'll witness the full extent of your son's strength!”
With those words, the Third Elder departed.
Back in the main hall, the Third Elder strode in through the doors.
Chen Qi turned to him with a question.
“Third Elder, is everything in place?”
The Third Elder scanned the room, noting the presence of the other eight elders of the Nether King's Hall.
“Master Chen, all is ready,” he confirmed.
Chen Qi nodded, oblivious to any underlying deceit.
Meanwhile, the Third Elder approached the seated elders, preparing to join them.
But in a swift, unexpected move, a bronze sword materialized in his hand. A flash of cold light, and the Second Elder beside him was abruptly decapitated.
A jet of crimson blood spurted skyward!
The room erupted in shock, but they knew well that hesitation could be fatal in a clash of masters.
The Third Elder's bronze sword, still gleaming with an icy glint, didn't lose momentum as it swung toward the Great Elder.
A chill ran through the Great Elder, snapping him out of his shock. He saw the bronze sword bearing down on him and his face paled with terror.
“Third Elder, have you lost your mind?”
He instinctively reached out with both hands, a burst of light flaring from his palms as he clamped down on the sword!
Yet, Jiang Hao, masquerading as the Third Elder, unleashed his Super Power talent. The sword was impossibly heavy, like a ton of bricks, and not something he could simply catch, even if it were merely a plank of wood!
And in his grasp was the formidable Baiqi Killing Sword!
With a harrowing scream, the sword mercilessly severed the First Elder's hands.
“Ah—!”
The Baiqi Killing Sword, relentless, slashed across his throat in a swift follow-through!
The Great Elder's eyes bulged, his mouth agape in an attempt to speak.
“Gurgle—!”
But as he opened his mouth, a torrent of blood and foam surged out, blood spilling from his lips, a fresh geyser of crimson erupting from his throat!
With eyes still wide in shock, the Great Elder slumped into the chair.
Now, the others snapped to attention, their faces draining of color.
“Great Elder!”
“Second Elder!!”
…
But just then, as the Third Elder opened his mouth, a massive roar erupted!
“Roar—!”
The roar reverberated through the heavens and earth, like thunderbolts crashing down, its might soaring skyward!
It was as if a white tiger had descended upon the earth, its roar shaking the mountains and rivers!
An unseen wave of force radiated from the Third Elder, sweeping across the area.
In an instant, countless objects were hurled away, glass shattering in a thunderous cascade!
“Crack…”
The few who remained felt a wave of vertigo and instinctively clutched at their ears.
Then, an immense power struck, and they were flung through the air.
“Ah—!”
