Chapter 1609 - 1504: The Great Hunt

"I feel the same way!"

The disciple in black clothes immediately agreed, "Liu Qinglong and the Poisonous Spider, relying on their fame and the favor of the higher-ups, are arrogant within the Inner Sect, but why should they order people around outside as well? We don’t mind listening begrudgingly, but Blood Child, your background and skills are no worse than theirs, why should you listen to them?"

"We’ll discuss this matter later."

Blood Child was also dissatisfied with the situation. However, knowing the priority of the task, he said coldly, "Let those two be arrogant for a moment. After I cut off the prey’s head, I will have a good talk with them."

With that said, his short and plump figure flashed into the dense forest.

This forest is not large, only about five acres, but strangely, there’s no sign of Qin Hao.

"The prey is gone?"

The man in black clothes and the bald man began searching all around, but found nothing.

"Could he be in a tree?"

Blood Child instinctively looked up, searching around.

But strangely, he still couldn’t find Qin Hao’s trace.

"This guy has the Stealth Technique!"

Blood Child realized, immediately revealing a sneer, "Ha, this guy must be too whimsical to think he can evade us like this?"

In the next instant, he took out a disc from his Void Storage Ring.

The disc had a pointer.

Swish, swish, swish!

As the pointer spun wildly, it abruptly pointed westward.

"There!"

Blood Child pointed sharply, and the others focused their gaze.

Indeed, there was something strange about a patch of grass on the west side, as if someone were hiding there.

"Kill!"

Blood Child gave the order, and all three advanced together.

Instantly, murderous intent and Spiritual Qi sprayed out.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

In a flash, the man-high patch of grass vanished, replaced by countless shattered leaves.

Countless shattered leaves flew into the air, and the three Spiritual Energy Sabers they released exploded fiercely.

Boom!

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, a figure flew out, revealing Qin Hao when he landed.

At this moment, he had traces of blood on him, his clothes were somewhat torn, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"Caught? How could it be?"

Seeing Qin Hao’s sorry state, Blood Child started to laugh playfully, "This prey seems to have some skill, but the person seems a bit foolish."

The man in black clothes also laughed heartily, "Isn’t it a surprise? Aren’t you stunned?"

The bald man laughed along, "No worries, you’ll understand everything once you’re in Hell."

In the laughter, the trio moved together, attacking Qin Hao from three sides with Spiritual Qi.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three Spiritual Qi burst out fiercely as they were about to reach him.

The tremendous impact made Qin Hao’s blood and energy surge.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw a protective shield around Qin Hao’s body had shattered to pieces.

"Actually managed to block it? Some skill? No wonder the Elders marked him as prey..." Blood Child clicked his tongue in wonder, his eyes slowly turned blood-red, licking his lips, "What a pity, Blood Child’s favorite thing to kill is a genius."

On the other side, the shield beside Qin Hao shattered with a crack.

Spiritual Qi was surging everywhere, and Qin Hao’s brows furrowed.

He had seen that these three guys were frequently cooperating partners, judging from the timing and positioning of their attacks.

But truly calculating, even the combination of the three was not better than Ren Zhengfei.

However, Qin Hao was able to kill Ren Zhengfei not by true strength.

By courage and a determination not to fear death.

He could exchange blows with Ren Zhengfei, scaring him to death, but couldn’t do the same with these three.

After all, two fists are hard to rival four hands; he very likely could end up dead before even injuring the opponent.

Instantly thinking clearly, Qin Hao squinted his eyes and made up his mind.

"Run!"

The next instant, as the three were about to strike again, Qin Hao tapped his foot against the ground.

The ground cracked violently at the spot where he tapped his foot.

Large chunks of soil shot in all directions.

Each piece of soil was mixed with Spiritual Qi and carried considerable power.

"Dodge!"

Blood Child was slightly startled, and under his shouted order, the three of them flew aside.

After dodging the chase of the large soil pieces, they saw dust floating on the ground, making visibility greatly reduced.

"He’s escaping!" The man in black clothes shouted anxiously, "Catch up to him! We can’t let him escape!"

The three moved in unison, pursuing Qin Hao aggressively.

But after chasing for a while, they found Qin Hao’s figure moving further and further away, both irritated and frustrated.

"What’s wrong with this kid? Is he a rabbit? How’s he running so fast!"

"Exactly! I was going all out, why couldn’t I catch him!"

Blood Child remained quite calm, the sinister look on his face tinged with a hint of murderous intent: "Run! Keep running! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I’ll still find you!"

...

The wind roared by his ears.

As he ran, dusk unknowingly fell.

Qin Hao stopped under a hill.

After glancing at the sky, he shook his head, "I actually ran for hours. It’s so late; with the veil of night, those guys should have a hard time finding me now, right?"

Before coming to the Heaven-Reaching Bowl, Lei Dingtian instructed him that the world within the bowl was intricate, and each Brocade Banner was guarded by Spirit Beasts, not easy to obtain.

He had specifically reminded Qin Hao to be prepared for prolonged combat.

Qin Hao had the Void Storage Ring, filled with various survival items, so he felt little pressure.

He took out a flint from the Void Storage Ring, preparing to find an opportunity to cook some food.

Suddenly, a subtle gust of wind was heard in the night.

Qin Hao’s head quickly dodged.

"Swish!" A streak of cyan Spiritual Qi flew past his cheek, landing on the hillside.

Boom!

The sand and stones at the hillside exploded, rolling in all directions.

Qin Hao’s figure instantly dodged ten meters away, his face extremely grim.

"Haha! Look who’s back, our little prey!"

A mocking laughter rang out, and Qin Hao looked over to find that the short and plump Fatty and his two accomplices appeared again.

"You!"

Qin Hao gritted his teeth, clearly showing anger on his face.

He had painstakingly used the Wind Escape Technique to evade the chase.

He thought he had shaken them off, but to his surprise, they caught up again.

Really troublesome.

"Hehe! Are you angry?" The man in black clothes was covered in sweat. They expended a lot of effort chasing after Qin Hao, feeling very fatigued physically now. So, he had to fiercely mock Qin Hao.

The bald man showed a ruthless look, "Little one, stop your struggles; we can clearly tell you, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you can’t hide from me..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao’s face changed.

Suddenly.

Whoosh!

The wind sounded, his body moved in response, turning into a shadow disappearing into the night.

"Damn it! This kid still has strength to run?"

This time, Blood Child and the others were bursting with anger. "We must skin him alive when we catch him!"
