"Remember, I will get the tough looking one and the one with the giant hammer, you take care of the one with the potions!" Seeing the trio rushing over towards them, Xuan Hao remained calm as he reminded Chi Hu before preparing to meet the opponent head on.
Chi Hu looked at the approaching group and quickly calmed himself down before focusing on the treasure hunter with the different potion bottles on him.
This would be Chi Hu's first battle after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm!
Even if he was a minor realm above his opponent, his opponent would have more experience than him when it came to fighting at the Nascent Soul Realm.
With this in mind, Chi Hu prepared for a difficult fight as he took out his weapon, a simple looking wooden staff.
This staff was Chi Hu's personal weapon and was made from a rare type of wood that he had found when exploring ancient ruins in the past, it had helped him through the years of travel and was even tougher than Spirit Rank Artifacts, but how well it would fare in a battle between Nascent Soul Realm Experts, Chi Hu could only find out by trying.
"Fist of fury!" As Chi Hu was making his way over towards the treasure hunter with the dangerous potions on him, the tough looking leader of the treasure hunters arrived in front of Xuan Hao and threw out a simple punch as his fist was engulfed in flames.
Dodging to the side, Xuan Hao easily managed to dodge the flaming fists of the tough looking treasure hunter as he responded with executing the second move of the Rain Sword Technique, Spring Rain.
The sword glowed gently with a light blue colour for a moment before Xuan Hao slashed down at his opponent.
The treasure hunter who saw his attack missing did not wait in the slightest as he turned around to follow after Xuan Hao, only to be met with the sword flying down towards him.
Trying his best to block the sword, by crossing his arms as they shone bright red followed by a wall of flames appearing in front of him to block it. The treasure hunter was surprised to see the sword glowing in a gentle blue hue easily slashing through the flame wall that was supposed to defend him.
"Argh! I-I got careless…!" Letting out a howl of pain as the sword easily cut into both his arms, the treasure hunter hastily began retreating with all his might as Xuan Hao followed after him, trying to keep him in place.
"Big Brother! I got you!" Just as Xuan Hao was about to slash through the arms of the treasure hunter's leader, the man with the giant hammer arrived just in the nick of time as he swung his giant hammer down towards Xuan Hao. Forcing him to momentarily stop to block the attack.
Xuan Hao firmly held onto his sword as he blocked the giant hammer, causing a spider web of cracks to spread through the ground beneath his feet with him as the centre.
Stumbling backwards from the impact generated when colliding with Xuan Hao's sword, the treasure hunter wielding the giant hammer barely manged to react as Xuan Hao performed three rapid sword attacks.
The sound of the sword colliding with the giant hammer sounded out three times in a row as the treasure hunter wielding the giant hammer felt his hands grow numb under the huge weight each of the three sword attacks put on him. The ground beneath his feet shattering with each attack he blocked.
Not being able to bear the weight and strength of the attacks performed by Xuan Hao any longer, the treasure hunter wielding the giant hammer tried to retreat as he regretted helping out his leader.
But it was far too late for regret as Xuan Hao used the opportunity that he showed when retreating, to launch a fatal attack.
"Argh!" The sword attack hit the moment the treasure hunter was about to retreat as it pierced directly into the heart of the treasure hunter, causing him to let out a howl of pain before his blood splattered onto the ground beneath his feet.
This however did not seem to have killed the treasure hunter, even when the blue sword qi from Xuan Hao's sword began to ravage the insides of his body. The treasure hunter was still someone at the Nascent Soul Realm and his vitality was way stronger compared to someone who would die after losing a vital part of their physical body.
So, with his last remaining energy, the treasure hunter decisively chose to discard his physical body and try to escape with his Nascent Soul.
Unfortunately for him, Xuan Hao had already prepared for something as he waved one of his hands, causing a new sword to appear out of thin air before channelling his sword qi into it.
This was a backup sword Xuan Hao had brought with him and when he found the interspatial ring, he had stored it in there together with the rest of the things he had picked up along the way.
"Wha-" The sword suddenly appearing out of thin air next to Xuan Hao caught the treasure hunter off guard as the sword suddenly flew over and directly pierced through his Nascent Soul.
Killing him in an instant!
"One left for me…" The fight between Xuan Hao and the treasure hunter only took a few seconds from start to finish as Xuan Hao had easily dealt with him.
The treasure hunter was only at the second stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and could not present too much of a challenge to Xuan Hao, as he did not even have to use his pseudo domain to kill him.
Glancing over at where Chi Hu was, Xuan Hao saw that he was doing fine against the alchemist treasure hunter throwing his weird potions all over the place in an attempt to injure Chi Hu.
"I will go after the one who ran away, you should be fine here!" Calling out to Chi Hu, Xuan Hao did not waste any time as he chased after the leader of the treasure hunters, who had run away the moment he realized Xuan Hao was too strong for them to deal with.
Leaving his two teammates behind in the process…
