Chapter 746 - 742: Making a Comeback

Chapter 746: Chapter 742: Making a Comeback

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Lin Hao gave Xia Yunpeng a location and told him to go find two people.

Xia Yunpeng nodded, bringing Xu Zihao and Bai Yu to Lin Hao’s side.

He was back in the span of a few breaths.

"Phew, that scared me to death..."

Seeing Lin Hao, Bai Yu let out a breath and patted his chest.

A moment ago, a large hand had shot out and grabbed him and Xu Zihao, giving them no time to react.

He’d thought he was a dead man, but upon seeing Lin Hao, Bai Yu knew he was safe.

But with a casual glance around, Bai Yu suddenly jumped, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.

Every one of the Martial Artists before him gave off a powerful, oppressive aura.

Sealed Martial Realm!

Eight Sealed Martial Realm experts!

But when he saw Lin Hao looking completely unconcerned, he instantly puffed up with confidence.

"Boss, are these your new underlings?"

Zipping to Lin Hao’s side, Bai Yu said with a fawning look.

The faces of several of the Sealed Martial Realm experts darkened.

"Everything has a pecking order, first come, first served. I was here first. So even though you’re older than me, you can only be the juniors." Bai Yu completely ignored Lin Hao shaking his head, adopting the air of a big shot as he addressed the eight Sealed Martial Realm experts.

"Junior, you’re courting death!"

One of the Martial Artists’ eyes narrowed sharply, his killing intent overflowing.

Bai Yu’s body felt as if it were struck by lightning. He staggered backward, a sweet, metallic taste rising in his throat as he nearly vomited blood.

Lin Hao frowned slightly.

"Xia Yunhai, who gave you the audacity?! Apologize to this young man right now!" Xia Yunpeng was old and shrewd; seeing the look on Lin Hao’s face, he immediately stepped forward.

The one who had spoken, Xia Yunhai, was a middle-aged man. Hearing this, he just snorted coldly and refused to apologize.

"Forget it." Lin Hao waved his hand.

Xia Yunhai’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of mockery flashing within them.

’Lin Hao has lost all his cultivation. In my eyes, all he can do now is keep his head down and behave.’

"Zihao, treat Xiaobai’s injuries," Lin Hao said to Xu Zihao.

Previously, Lin Hao and Xu Zihao had interacted as equals. This was the first time Lin Hao had addressed him in such a way, with a tone that was an undeniable command.

Xu Zihao understood the situation as soon as he saw the cultivation levels of the eight men, so he naturally knew what Lin Hao meant when he spoke.

"Yes, Boss."

Xu Zihao also changed his form of address, replying respectfully.

As he spoke, he pulled a handful of pills from his storage ring and handed them to Bai Yu.

The eight Martial Artists stared intently at Xu Zihao’s hand, their eyes wide.

Even though they were at the Sealed Martial Realm, they had never seen someone just hand out pills like that.

A unique fragrance wafted from the pills, refreshing the mind and spirit.

They were even more shocked when they saw Bai Yu toss the entire handful of pills into his mouth at once.

A moment later, they saw a shimmering light appear on the surface of Bai Yu’s body, and his injuries rapidly healed.

Moreover, as Sealed Martial Realm experts, their Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, and they could even tell that Bai Yu’s True Essence had become more condensed.

For someone in the Spirit Transformation Realm, having their True Essence become more condensed could expand their body’s potential. The benefits were immeasurable.

Greed even flickered in the eyes of a few of them.

At the same time, seeing these pills reminded them of the ones they had taken not long ago.

"The rumors all say that Young Master Lin is an Alchemy Master. It seems they were true," Xia Yunpeng commented.

Lin Hao didn’t reply, but Bai Yu chimed in, "The Boss doesn’t need to lift a finger for pills like this."

Lin Hao’s earlier words seemed to acknowledge him as a follower, so how could Bai Yu not seize the opportunity to show off?

First, Bai Yu snorted disdainfully, then his face broke into a brilliant smile. "Brother Hao, I didn’t realize your alchemy skills had improved again," he said to Xu Zihao.

The expressions of all eight men changed slightly.

’Lin Hao didn’t even act himself. Just teaching one of his followers could produce such results. Just how high must his Alchemy Mastery be?!’

Those Martial Artists with greedy looks in their eyes stared at Lin Hao as if they were looking at a treasure trove.

Just then, Lin Hao snorted coldly. "I was able to save you from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, so naturally, I have ways to control you again. Sometimes, cultivation level isn’t everything."

The expressions of the greedy-eyed Martial Artists changed, and they quickly hid their avarice.

They had heard too many stories about Lin Hao. He was an enigmatic youth, impossible to see through.

"Young Master Lin, did you poison the pills?!" Xia Yunhai asked in a low, grave voice.

Lin Hao didn’t answer, merely staring at him as if he were an idiot.

"Foolish! If there really was poison in the pills, would you not have noticed?!" Xia Yunpeng flicked his sleeve, his face flushing slightly.

"Sigh, it’s so hard to be a good person these days. My big bro would never use such despicable methods."

Seeing this, Bai Yu continued to rub salt in the wound.

The eyes of some Martial Artists flickered with uncertainty.

"Brother Hao, how can Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artists be so stupid? You only get the good stuff when you follow the Boss. I have a feeling I’ll be able to advance to the Sealed Martial Realm in ten days or so. At that point, the so-called Sealed Martial Realm... heh heh."

Bai Yu then walked to one side, whispering with Xu Zihao.

"By then, I should be able to reach the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and my Alchemy Skill, which the Boss taught me, will also improve. I can’t make any promises, but in the Dragon Transformation Ancient Realm, silently taking down a few early-stage Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artists won’t be a problem."

"Brother Hao, you’ve only been cultivating your Alchemy Skill for about a month, right?!"

"You’re wrong. It’s been twenty-three days."

Words like these couldn’t possibly escape the notice of the Martial Artists present. When they heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

It wasn’t surprising for an Alchemy Master to be proficient in the art of poison, so they didn’t doubt the truth of Xu Zihao’s words.

The way many of them looked at Lin Hao changed.

’A Martial Artist who studied under him for only twenty-three days could achieve this. Doesn’t that mean his mastery of the Alchemy Dao has reached a godlike level?’

Many of the Martial Artists who harbored ulterior motives nipped their greed in the bud.

’They had no quarrel with Lin Hao. In fact, he had saved them. If they made a move, they might suffer a fate even more terrifying than what awaited them at the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.’

With this thought in mind, the eight of them reined in their ambitions and decided to protect Lin Hao wholeheartedly. Who knew, they might even gain considerable benefits in the process.

"Watch out!"

Just then, Lin Hao’s eyes widened and he suddenly roared.

Disaster struck.

BANG!

One of the Martial Artists exploded into a mist of blood.

An expert had struck from the shadows and killed him.

PFFT!

Two others were injured at the same time.

The remaining Martial Artists reacted quickly, locking down the surrounding space.

An illusory figure of an Evil Demon shattered in the void.

Wan Wushen had reappeared!

"This is only the beginning. I will become your nightmare." Wan Wushen’s voice echoed through the void before falling silent.

Evidently, he had fled again after his successful strike.

It was an assassination that no one could have anticipated.

Who could have imagined that Wan Wushen, who had just been severely wounded, would stage a comeback in such a short time?

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely oppressive.

Wan Wushen’s appearance shifted everyone’s focus. At this point, no one was thinking about causing trouble for Lin Hao anymore.

A few of the Martial Artists even looked toward Lin Hao, their gazes silently asking him to take the lead.

After all, Lin Hao was the one who had single-handedly caused the destruction of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. They now pinned their hopes of personally finishing off Wan Wushen on him.

However, not everyone felt this way.
