After a quarter of an hour, Zhu Zhuang was already somewhat exhausted, and his speed had clearly slowed down.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuang glanced back at Qin Hao and discovered that Qin Hao's speed had not decreased. In fact, he seemed to be getting faster and faster.
Zhu Zhuang cursed inwardly. What was wrong with Zhang San? They had already been running for a quarter of an hour. Was he not tired?
Qin Hao secretly laughed to himself. Zhu Zhuang actually wanted to compete with him in stamina? He probably did not know that Qin Hao was a corpse king who had also cultivated the Undying Corpse God Scripture. His physical strength was monstrously powerful.
At this moment, the Undying Corpse God Scripture was circulating madly within Qin Hao's body, and his realm actually showed faint signs of advancement.
If this continued, Qin Hao would only get faster and faster. Even if Zhu Zhuang ran himself to death, Qin Hao's speed probably would not slow down in the slightest.
“Second senior brother can't go on!” a Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple said.
“Why hasn't Zhang San's speed decreased at all? It seems like he is even getting faster!” a dao sect disciple said in confusion.
“You don't know? This is Scheming Young Lord, Crouching Dragon Zhang San, the rising star of our Heavenly Demon Sect. His strength is incredibly formidable!” a shifty-eyed Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple said mysteriously.
As soon as these words were spoken, the heavenly demon sect disciples all smiled without saying a word, while the Dao Sect and Zhengyi Sect Disciples wore bewildered expressions.
Scheming Young Lord, Crouching Dragon Zhang San?
That's rather interesting.
“The second wave of the demon beast tide. The leader demon beast is at the ninth layer of qi refinement, the attendant demon beasts are at the fourth qi refinement layer, for a total of fifty.”
The emotionless voice rang out once again.
This cry made Qin Hao shudder.
There was a second wave of the demon beast tide? What were they thinking?
Just as before, before Qin Hao could finish thinking, a patch of snow-white appeared in the distance. A burst of horse neighing rang out, and fifty white horses appeared out of thin air, charging toward Qin Hao.
The white horses were considerably faster than the wild bulls.
In the blink of an eye, they had rapidly closed the distance to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was helpless. Fifty wild bulls had already been enough to leave him at his wit's end; now another fifty white horses had arrived. This was practically demanding his life!
Zhu Zhuang was even more despairing. He had already been unable to run, and now a group of white horses that could run even faster than the wild bulls had arrived. Unless something unexpected happened, he estimated that he was about to enjoy a double serving of horse hooves and bull hooves.
“Junior brother, stop following me. If this continues, both of us will die here,” Zhu Zhuang said, on the verge of tears.
“Senior brother, I don't want to either. I can't change course now. If I do, I'll die ahead of schedule. Let us become a pair of doomed lovers.”
Who wants to become doomed lovers with you?!
Zhu Zhuang roared inwardly, then secretly sighed.
Sorry, senior brother. I don't want to die!
“Junior brother, quickly throw away the storage bag on you. It contains Beast-Attracting Powder. It is colorless and odorless to us, but extremely attractive to demon beasts!”
After Zhu Zhuang finished speaking, Qin Hao snorted. As expected, Zhu Zhuang really had ill intentions!
“Zhu Zhuang, why are you trying to harm me?!” Qin Hao shouted at the top of his lungs.
“It wasn't me! The senior brother gave this to me. If you want to hate someone, hate the senior brother. Quickly throw away the storage bag.”
Zhu Zhuang was now panting heavily and could hardly run. Because of the cold qi, the spiritual power within his body had been severely depleted. After another time It Takes to Drink a Cup of Tea, even if he was not trampled to death, he would be exhausted to death.
Qin Hao could also see that Zhu Zhuang was at his limit. He held the storage bag Zhu Zhuang had given him in his hand but did not throw it away.
Zhu Zhuang glanced back and saw that Qin Hao had not thrown away the storage bag. He shouted anxiously, “Throw it away! Once you throw it away, everything will be fine.”
“I'm not throwing it away. Today, I'm dragging you down with me.” Qin Hao spoke viciously, glaring at Zhu Zhuang with furious eyes.
“What a disaster!” Zhu Zhuang fell into complete despair.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuang did not really hate Qin Hao. Instead, he hated Mo Bufan to the extreme.
In his mind, Mo Bufan must have anticipated that this situation would occur, which was why he had told him to give Qin Hao the storage bag.
Otherwise, would it not have been better for Mo Bufan to give it to him personally?
He had a grudge against Qin Hao, but Mo Bufan did not!
Mo Bufan had ordered him to act precisely because he had foreseen this situation where both sides would perish together.
“The third wave of the demon beast tide. The leader demon beast is at the ninth layer of qi refinement, the attendant demon beasts are at the fourth qi refinement layer, for a total of fifty!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao froze, and Zhu Zhuang froze as well.
The first and second waves had not even been dealt with, and the third wave had already arrived?
In the distance, a fiery red mass appeared. Sheep bleated incessantly as fifty fire sheep, their horns blazing like flames, charged toward Qin Hao.
“Heaven itself wants me dead!” Zhu Zhuang shouted before stopping in his tracks.
Qin Hao furrowed his brows, and his steps slowed considerably.
“Then let me die together with you.”
Like a trapped beast making a last stand, Zhu Zhuang's eyes reddened. He sent a punch filled with spiritual power crashing toward Qin Hao.
“You will die, but I won't!”
Strands of dark-golden spiritual power spilled from Qin Hao's body as he met the punch with one of his own, carrying overwhelming force.
This time, there was no stalemate. With an incredulous look in his eyes, Zhu Zhuang was sent flying by Qin Hao's punch like a rag doll. He rolled across the ground several times before finally coming to a stop.
Naturally, the other twenty-eight people witnessed this scene.
“Is Zhang San really that strong?” a dao sect disciple swallowed nervously.
“He sent an eighth layer of qi refinement cultivator flying with one punch?” The zhengyi sect disciple's jaw dropped open.
“I don't know either. Perhaps he was hiding his strength. After all, he is Scheming Young Lord, and this sort of thing is precisely what he excels at.” The shifty-eyed Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple was astonished.
“How did you become so powerful?” Zhu Zhuang rose to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, asking in confusion.
“There are many things you don't know!”
Seeing the white horses, wild bulls, and fire sheep surrounding them, Qin Hao decided to stop holding back.
He charged forward, forming one hand into a claw and reaching straight for Zhu Zhuang's head.
Zhu Zhuang wanted to resist, but Qin Hao was too fast. Moreover, Zhu Zhuang had cold qi left behind by Qin Mengya within his body, and his strength had greatly diminished. He was completely unable to block the attack.
After grabbing Zhu Zhuang's head, Qin Hao began devouring him without mercy. In less than three breaths, Zhu Zhuang became a dried corpse, which Qin Hao shattered directly with spiritual power until it turned to dust and scattered with the wind.
Qin Hao's strength also broke through to the ninth layer of qi refinement.
“Congratulations, host. You have devoured an eighth layer of qi refinement Cultivator. Your cultivation level has increased, and you have obtained ten devouring points.”
Qin Hao completely ignored the System's notification. His most urgent task was figuring out how to escape the encirclement of the horses, bulls, and sheep.
It was useless to throw away the storage bag now.
“How is the battle going?”
“I can't see anything clearly!”
“Huh? The main force has entered.”
When the vanguard disciples saw Qin Hao and Zhu Zhuang completely surrounded by demon beasts, not a single one of them believed the two could survive. There were one hundred and fifty demon beasts, including three demon beasts at the ninth layer of qi refinement.
The main forces of the three sects had entered as well. Naturally, they returned to the main forces; otherwise, once the demon beasts dealt with Qin Hao and Zhu Zhuang, they would naturally turn their attention toward them.
The first law of cultivators: preserving one's life takes priority in all matters!
