“What did you do, kid?”
“My lifespan!”
There were panicked screams everywhere.
The group of old freaks were in chaos. They were all anxious and incomparably alarmed.
Even Heaven Devouring Elder’s expression changed enormously. Disbelief filled his face.
A sword-style that cut away at one’s lifespan?
How was this possible?
Where did this kid learn such a heaven-defying sword-style?
When he raised his gaze and looked at that kid again, he was already revealing an intense fear.
This kid is too monstrous!
He had clearly only been hunted down before, but now that his cultivation had skyrocketed, his strength had increased as well. He had reached a level where he could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
The sword-style that could sever one’s lifespan was something that even he had to fear.
At that moment, the old Daoist Tiangang and the others were stunned again.
“Old… Old Wang!” Elder Liu’s mouth was agape, and his expression was blank.
“Hey!”
The old man was also in a daze. His eyes were wide open.
“Do you think… we’re dreaming?” Elder Liu looked dazed.
Previously, when he had come, he had said that he wanted to protect this kid, and that he would consider himself a senior. But in the end, this kid did not need his protection at all!
This kid is so perverted. Is there a need for me to protect him? In the future, it will be this kid’s turn to protect him.
Elder Liu frowned, his heart filled with bitterness.
His last shred of dignity as a senior had been shattered by this brat.
“That’s too hurtful!” Elder Liu said gloomily.
“Sigh!” Ambushing Master was also filled with melancholy. In the end, he let out a long sigh.
Liu Moran also smiled bitterly. Even the Heartless Sword Saint was stunned. After a while, he cursed.
“Rascal, what did you do to me?”
“Give me back my lifespan!”
The group of old monsters almost went crazy, their expressions turning ferocious.
Tang Hao’s expression was indifferent as he sneered, “You reap what you sow! If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for provoking someone you shouldn’t have!” As he said that, he lightly raised his hand and raised his sword.
A divine light flashed in his eyes, and stars lit up once again. He brandished his sword and was about to slash.
When the group of old monsters saw this, they were scared out of their wits.
“It’s that weird sword-style again. Retreat!”
It was as if they had seen the scariest thing in the world. They screamed and retreated crazily.
“Look, that’s the Southern Dipper Star Stance! That’s the ultimate secret technique! He figured it out!”
An old monster noticed the starlight in Tang Hao’s eyes and cried out.
“What? This is an ultimate secret technique?”
Everyone was shocked.
There was a star map located in the valley, and there might be an ultimate secret technique hidden in it. They naturally knew about it and had tried to study it before.
However, a thousand years had passed, and no one had been able to comprehend it.
“This kid can’t be defeated, let’s go!”
The group of old monsters cried out in panic. They did not care about their image as they fled towards the exit.
This brat’s strength was not that terrifying. At most, he was at Heaven Devouring Elder’s level. However, this secret technique was too troublesome to deal with. It could actually sever one’s lifespan.
Fighting with others was not a big deal. At most, they would lose some Dao Energy and suffer some minor injuries. But fighting with this brat was equivalent to losing their lifespan. How the hell were they supposed to fight!
“This Qin Emperor is indeed as the rumors say. He’s a peerless demon!”
“F*ck! Who would dare to provoke this kid in the future!”
The group of old monsters said gloomily as they fled.
They scrambled into the tunnel and disappeared.
Heaven Devouring Elder’s expression became even uglier when he saw everyone from the eighth continent flee.
This boy’s strength was not inferior to his. They could not kill him with the few people left.
“Hmph! Brat, we’ll meet again next time!”
Heaven Devouring Elder harrumphed angrily. With a heavy flick of his sleeve, he turned around and flew away, but his expression was somewhat resentful.
“You brat, just you wait!”
Old Daoist Darkshade followed. Before he left, he shouted at Tang Hao through gritted teeth.
The Corpse Daoist did not say a word. He kept the corpses, sealed the coffin, and followed as well.
At this moment, ripples appeared in the air. The East Sea Demon Lord’s halberd came out and snorted angrily, “Kid, we’ll meet again!”
Old Immortal Ape carried the metal pole and angrily followed.
“Damn, what a weirdo!” he grumbled.
Once this group of people left, only Ambushing Master and the old Daoist Tiangang remained.
Old Daoist Tiangang and the rest were stunned. Their expressions were stiff and awkward.
They had originally thought that this kid was dead for sure, so they drew a clear line. But they had never imagined that not only did this kid not die, he even displayed great might and beat a group of old freaks away.
This was truly unexpected.
“Haha!”
Old Daoist Tiangang smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Then, he revealed a respectful and enthusiastic expression and cupped his hands towards Tang Hao. “Fellow Daoist Tang! Congratulations, your cultivation has improved greatly. I’m delighted to have met you!”
“Fellow Daoist Tang! Congratulations!”
Xu Sansheng and the others also cupped their hands, their expressions somewhat respectful.
Previously, they had only treated Tang Ritian as a junior. However, things were different now. Tang Ritian’s cultivation level had improved tremendously and his strength had skyrocketed. He had caught up in a short while and even surpassed them.
They could no longer treat him as a junior, but a true member of their generation.
After congratulating them, Old Daoist Tiangang and the rest felt awkward and quickly left.
“Kid, where have you been these past few days?”
Ambushing Master and the others surrounded him and asked curiously.
Tang Hao briefly explained what had happened during this time.
“Let’s go!”
Then, the group left this place, returning to the deep sea, floating along the way.
“Kid, let’s part ways here. Take this. As long as you wear it, I’ll be able to find you. If there’s any action next time, I’ll come find you.”
When they reached the surface of the sea, the group parted and the old man tossed Tang Hao a jade pendant.
Tang Hao took it and put it on his waist. Then, he took out a few longevity fruits and threw them over.
Seeing the longevity fruits, everyone was stunned.
“So it was you!” Elder Liu smiled bitterly.
So the bastard who stole their treasure, the so-called mysterious expert, was this kid!
“See you again!”
Tang Hao smiled, cupped his hands at each of them, turned around, and flew off as a streak of light.
A day later, he returned to the Southern Region, Ritian Valley.
“Valley Chief Tang!”
Outside of Ritian Valley, a group of figures were kneeling. They were the disciples or clansmen of the Path Seeking old monster that Tang Hao had killed during their struggle for Star Plucker’s Star Map.
Tang Hao didn’t need to think to know their intentions.
“Leave the stuff behind and get lost!”
Tang Hao landed, lightly waved his hand and said.
He was not a bloodthirsty person. Besides, at his level of cultivation, these people were like ants to him. There was really no need to kill them all.
Those people looked up in fear and trepidation. After observing their expressions, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you Valley Chief Tang for your magnanimity!”
They shed tears of gratitude and kowtowed a few times before leaving.
Tang Hao reached out and grabbed all of these items. He didn’t even bother to look at them. He directly put them into a storage ring and turned to enter the valley.
