Chapter 93: Chapter 93 The Third Choice
The so-called Loyalty Pill must be poison, needing the antidote provided by the Chu Family periodically to suppress its effects. In this way, Shi Hao would never escape the Chu Family’s control, forever a dog to them.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh loudly, “Chu Family, oh Chu Family, I have indeed overestimated you.”
No wonder they had only granted him the title of Patriot Duke and not given any substantial benefits, for they had already decided to deal with Shi Hao.
So, why give him benefits?
Why not target Duan Jinghong?
He is, after all, a disciple of the White Cloud Sect and can be considered family.
But Shi Hao was different; he was a true Loose Cultivator. Thus, they definitely needed to control him through drugs, taking control of Shi Hao’s life and death to make him obedient and put the Chu Family at ease.
Otherwise, how could the Chu Family rest easy with such a ticking time bomb hidden within?
“You have only two choices, submit or die!” Chu Tie said coldly.
He, of course, hoped that Shi Hao would choose to submit. Such a young Martial Venerable, with limitless potential for the future, would then be another Soul Nurturing Peak, or even Other Shore level henchman for the Chu Family, greatly enhancing their power!
Shi Hao smiled, “I have a third option.”
What, a third option?
The three Martial Venerables of the Chu Family were very surprised; they had not given Shi Hao a third option.
“I’ll slaughter you all,” Shi Hao said indifferently.
This made the three from the Chu Family pause slightly, then all revealed grim smiles.
“What a joke!” they scoffed disdainfully.
Did this youth think that just because he killed two Martial Venerables, he was invincible among Martial Venerables?
“Kid, the two Martial Venerables you killed, one had an early destroyed Spirit Root, strength already regressed to the beginning Soul Nurturing stage, and the other relied on the Soul Casting Pill to reach the Soul Nurturing stage, his life’s peak being just one step in Soul Nurturing Peak,” Chu Tianxiao said with a sneer, “But among us three, there is one at the third step of Soul Nurturing!”
Three steps versus one step, instant kill!
He was mischievous not specifying who among them was at the third step, invisibly increasing the pressure on Shi Hao.
Shi Hao sighed, “Are you done comparing? If so, make your move quickly.”
Chu Yunsen scoffed coldly, “Kid, you were given a way to live and refused, insisting on courting death!”
The opportunity to kill a Martial Venerable was also quite fresh for them, which made the three of them “reluctant” to immediately kill Shi Hao.
“Three old tortoises, just blabbering away,” Shi Hao shook his head.
The three from the Chu Family could not tolerate it anymore, all leaping down from the surrounding wall to attack Shi Hao.
Shi Hao’s eyes shone brightly, and he sprung up suddenly, charging at Chu Yunsen.
He purposely provoked the three to attack, so he could determine from minor movements who was at the third step of Soul Nurturing.
This caused the three Chu members to be taken aback. Was this kid guessing?
Because Chu Yunsen was indeed their third step of Soul Nurturing.
However, whether Shi Hao was guessing or had seen through, one against three was a death wish.
“Die!” Chu Yunsen, not making the usual villain mistake of underestimating the enemy, snorted coldly, crossed his arms, his Martial Technique revving up, terrifying power boiling over; this strike would tear Shi Hao into pieces.
A dash of fresh blood burst open, and Chu Yunsen’s head suddenly exploded, turning instantly into pieces.
Seeing this scene, the Chen, Zhang, and Wang families’ Martial Venerables watching in the shadows nearly had their hearts stop beating, but within a moment, not only did their hearts resume beating, but the pace also at least quintupled.
Thump thump thump thump, so fast that their brains were about to explode.
Lucky it was them; had it been ordinary people, their hearts could not have withstood such a torment and would have certainly exploded.
Oh my, how could this be possible?
Chu Yunsen was at the third stage of Soul Nurturing, yet he was struck dead in a single blow.
From three steps to one step, it should have been an instant kill for the three steps, but now?
One step instantly killed three steps!
Who could believe it?
Who wouldn’t be shocked?
This youth… was simply a monster!
And what about Chu Tianxiao and Chu Tie?
They too, were terrified by this unbelievable scene, their faces turning deathly pale, unable to trust their own eyes.
Dead at the hands of a youth, a mere first stage in Soul Nurturing.
Could it be that this youth was actually concealing his skills and had long since been at the fourth or even fifth stage of Soul Nurturing?
But the problem is that even Liu Shixuan, the top genius of White Cloud Sect, was only at the fourth step of Soul Nurturing. Could this youth be even more freakish than Liu Shixuan?
What was even more astonishing was that Shi Hao’s fist hadn’t even touched Chu Yunsen, and Chu Yunsen’s head had just exploded on its own.
It was such inconceivability that made Chu Tianxiao and Chu Tie even more frightened.
This was the fear of the unknown.
“You, you, how did you do it?” Chu Tie asked, trembling. He could feel his teeth chattering.
Shi Hao looked at him, “Why don’t you try it yourself and see?”
He swung a punch into the air, aiming it at Chu Tie.
Chu Tie, of course, was terrified and tried to block instinctively.
But the problem was, Shi Hao’s punch was so distant that he didn’t know where it was coming from, and he could only guard his head.
However, nothing happened.
That was to be expected; he was over two meters away from Shi Hao, who was merely bluffing.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Chu Tie, naturally, was furious with embarrassment, so furious that he wanted to kill someone.
“He must have used some hidden weapon!” speculated Chu Tianxiao. “Incredibly small, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, allowing Yunsen to be caught off guard.”
Chu Tie nodded and added, “Such a bizarre and magical hidden weapon must be extremely rare.”
“So, this lad used it on Yunsen to intimidate,” said Chu Tianxiao. The two of them analyzed the situation as if they fully understood it.
“Now, this lad is merely bluffing!” declared Chu Tie. Otherwise, he would have been attacked just now.
Thinking this, the two naturally regained their confidence.
What they feared was the unknown but now that it seemed Shi Hao relied only on a hidden weapon, their fear vanished.
The three Martial Venerables hidden in the shadows also nodded their heads, finding the analysis quite reasonable.
Shi Hao smiled faintly, his figure lunged forward, attacking Chu Tie.
Chu Tie bellowed in response, and Chu Tianxiao didn’t stand idle either, also pressuring Shi Hao in an attempt to create enough tension.
Shi Hao activated his Eight Extremes Fist, throwing a feigned punch directed at Chu Tie’s abdomen.
Chu Tie instinctively froze, but he didn’t intercept any hidden weapon in Shi Hao’s punch. Naturally, he would not be on guard, fearing that doing so might expose him to being taken advantage of by Shi Hao’s strike, so he continued his assault on Shi Hao: “Brat, let you pay with blood—”
Blood splattered again, and Chu Tie’s body was shockingly ripped into two halves!
As Chu Tianxiao watched in horror, Shi Hao had already recovered from the exertion and swung another punch at him. This time, he did not use any Dark Force.
As their fists collided, both staggered backward, but Chu Tianxiao retreated further than Shi Hao did.
