Chapter 762 - 758: Undying Sacred Lord

Chapter 762: Chapter 758: Undying Sacred Lord

Xia Yunhai believed that under such an assault, Lin Hao was doomed, even if he had three heads and six arms.

’Once Lin Hao is gone, I’ll make sure there’s not even a grave for any of you!’

Hatred surged in Xia Yunhai’s eyes as he glanced over Xi Chenghua and the others.

At that moment, Xi Chenghua and the others were only concerned with Lin Hao’s well-being, so they didn’t notice the look in Xia Yunhai’s eyes.

Almost at the same instant, a voice spoke up. "You haven’t quite mastered the Primordial Undying Scripture."

Xia Yunhai froze when he heard the voice, the hatred in his eyes turning to terror.

It was Lin Hao’s voice!

The next moment, Xia Yunhai witnessed a shocking scene.

Lin Hao still stood with his hands behind his back, while across from him, Dugu Shang had collapsed, apparently powerless.

’How did he do that?!’

This question echoed not only in Xia Yunhai’s mind, but in everyone else’s as well.

"I cultivate the complete Primordial Undying Scripture! My cultivation is at the Fifth Layer of the Sealed Martial Realm, and I’ve slain countless cultivators at the Sixth and even Seventh Layers! How could I possibly lose to you?!"

Dugu Shang stared at Lin Hao, reeling from the unprecedented defeat.

He had lost, and it was a complete and utter defeat.

Worst of all, he didn’t even know how he had been defeated.

"I could hold my own even against a descending deity! How in the world did you manage that?" As he spoke, an immense fighting spirit flared in Dugu Shang’s eyes. He was forcing himself to recover from the shock of his defeat.

A glint appeared in Lin Hao’s eyes. He finally spoke, uttering just three words.

"You can leave."

The three words were spoken calmly, yet they carried an undeniable authority.

Xi Chenghua and the others were stunned.

Dugu Shang was the successor of a Holy Land, yet Lin Hao treated him with such dismissiveness. It was pure contempt.

Dugu Shang managed to get to his feet. The vision of stars reappeared in his eyes, but he took a deep breath, and it vanished.

"Lin Hao, I refuse to believe I lost to you. This isn’t over!"

With that said, Dugu Shang turned to leave.

Suddenly, however, he stopped short. He turned and fixed his gaze on Xia Yunhai.

The next moment, he struck without warning.

He instantly seized Xia Yunhai and pulled him over.

Xia Yunhai, a mere Fourth Layer of the Sealed Martial Realm, was utterly powerless to resist Dugu Shang.

"Stop!"

Xia Yunpeng shouted, lunging at Dugu Shang.

PFFT!

But Dugu Shang was too fast and his combat prowess too astonishing. Xia Yunpeng was no match for him and was injured in a single exchange.

Dugu Shang, who had been humbled by Lin Hao, once again revealed his terrifying strength when facing other Martial Artists.

"So, you want to follow me?"

Dugu Shang ignored Xia Yunpeng, directing his question to the captive Xia Yunhai.

Xia Yunhai froze, unsure of how to answer.

"I heard your divine sense transmission just a moment ago. Why are you silent now?"

Wiping the blood from his lips, Xia Yunpeng froze.

Meanwhile, Xi Chenghua and the others had regrouped by Lin Hao’s side.

All eyes were on Xia Yunhai.

"Yes! I can help you defeat Lin Hao!"

Xia Yunhai’s face paled, but at this point, he decided to go all in, shouting his reply.

"Are you mocking me?" Dugu Shang’s eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura began to radiate from him.

Xi Chenghua and the others were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Before, they wouldn’t have dared to even breathe in Dugu Shang’s presence, but Lin Hao had bested him twice. Now, Dugu Shang was nothing in their eyes.

"Just take me and my older brother to the Undying Holy Land, and we will tell you everything about Lin Hao. You’ll definitely be able to find his weakness." Xia Yunhai was truly desperate now.

The Undying Holy Land was founded by a Saint. If he could get in, it would be a far better prospect than following Lin Hao.

Besides, his relationship with Lin Hao’s group had already soured beyond repair.

The choice was painfully obvious.

Upon hearing this, the killing intent radiating from Dugu Shang immediately faded. He asked Xia Yunhai, "Are you sure you want to go to the Undying Holy Land?"

Xia Yunhai nodded eagerly.

"The Undying Holy Land is currently being targeted by a pure-blooded beast. If you go... I’m not sure if you’ll be to its taste."

"What... What are you planning to do?" Xia Yunhai had a sinking feeling that something was wrong.

Dugu Shang uttered a single word: "Sacrifice."

The color drained from Xia Yunhai’s face.

"I think... maybe we should just... forget it," Xia Yunhai stammered, his voice trembling.

Killing intent flared from Dugu Shang again. "Hmph! You think you can come and go as you please? The Undying Holy Land is not a place for you to run wild!"

As he spoke, Dugu Shang seized Xia Yunhai.

"Let him go!"

Xia Yunpeng attacked again.

This time, he unleashed his strongest attack, his body surging with Bloodline Power.

A star shot from Dugu Shang’s eyes, hurtling toward Xia Yunpeng.

Primordial Gang Qi!

The same Primordial Gang Qi that had been useless against Lin Hao now unleashed its heaven-shaking might against Xia Yunpeng.

Even with his strongest attack, Xia Yunpeng was sent flying, his body exploding in mid-air.

And just like that, a Martial Artist at the Sixth Layer of the Sealed Martial Realm was annihilated by Dugu Shang.

"Brother!"

Xia Yunhai cried out in grief.

At that moment, he was filled with endless regret.

But that regret was instantly replaced by a towering hatred.

Xia Yunhai lowered his head, an endless hatred burning in his eyes.

He didn’t hate Dugu Shang. He hated Lin Hao.

Lin Hao could have clearly saved his brother, but he hadn’t lifted a finger.

But the hatred vanished from his face in a flash. By the time he looked up, it was gone.

"I will go with you to the Undying Holy Land," Xia Yunhai said, his voice eerily calm.

A flicker of surprise crossed Dugu Shang’s face. He stood frozen.

This state lasted for a long time.

Xia Yunhai did the same.

Clearly, Dugu Shang was communicating with Xia Yunhai via divine sense.

After being defeated twice by Lin Hao, Dugu Shang wasn’t worried about a sneak attack.

So he simply let his guard down completely.

"Young Master, why not kill Dugu Shang? Letting him go is like releasing a tiger back to its mountain."

"If he returns to the Undying Holy Land, even more terrifying Martial Artists are sure to come for us. What will we do then?"

Both Xi Chenghua and Lao Xuexin questioned Lin Hao.

They didn’t bother lowering their voices, unafraid of Dugu Shang overhearing.

"No one from the Undying Holy Land can leave. Except for him," Lin Hao said with a confident smile.

"Why?" Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Hao explained, "Because he is the only one in the Undying Holy Land who has cultivated the complete Primordial Undying Scripture. That’s the only way to evade the beast. If I’m not mistaken... he’s the Holy Lord of the Undying Holy Land."

"What?!"

Xi Chenghua and the others were utterly astonished.

"He’s the Holy Lord of the Undying Holy Land?!" Zhao Yuanzhong exclaimed, pointing at Dugu Shang’s back.

Xia Yunhai shuddered, and a brilliant light erupted in his eyes.

’I’ve made the right move.’

’I’m only a Fourth-Layer Sealed Martial Realm Martial Artist. Dugu Shang would never use me as a sacrifice.’

’And as long as I’m alive, I have a chance.’

Over on the other side, Lin Hao finished his explanation with a faint sigh. "To think that whelp still hasn’t grasped it."

His words were baffling; at least, Xi Chenghua and the others couldn’t make any sense of them.

At that very moment, however, Dugu Shang’s body trembled violently. He whipped around to face Lin Hao, his eyes filled with utter horror.
