Chapter 344: Resolute Slaying
The atmosphere froze!
Elder Shi was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect with profound influence, and he had the subtle backing of retired sect predecessors. With such status, who would dare kill him?
"Oh, why wouldn’t I dare?" Su Hao asked gently.
"If you strike, your entire family will suffer unimaginable retribution – so cruel you couldn’t fathom it." Elder Shi’s eyes gleamed coldly, his face twisting into something ferocious.
Su Hao raised an eyebrow, his voice turning icy. "Don’t you find such threats ill-timed now?"
Elder Shi cackled wildly. "You fear acting because you don’t want your wife and daughter to face death and disappearance of the spirit!"
Su Hao stood silently before turning to Shui Qingxuan.
The woman’s lovely face bloomed with a tender smile.
Su Hao suddenly threw back his head and laughed. Light and shadow flickered in his hand as a sword arc materialized, tearing through the air toward Elder Shi.
"How dare you, junior!"
A thunderous voice erupted as colossal energy burst from the void, rushing to intercept the sword strike. But the blade abruptly shrank and vanished, letting the attack blast a crater into the Judgment Platform’s floor. Meanwhile, Su Hao reappeared beside Elder Shi, palm lightly touching the elder’s crown.
*Thud.*
The feeble sound belied its effect. The malice in Elder Shi’s eyes dimmed, disbelief flashing across his face before he crumpled lifelessly.
Su Hao had executed the elder without hesitation.
"Do you think my family fears death when I stand upon this Judgment Platform?"
His calm voice struck the crowd like thunderclaps. Now they understood – Su Hao had already chosen martyrdom.
Silence smothered the arena.
"Princes Duan, Leader Du – care to join me?"
Su Hao’s emotionless tone dripped with mockery.
Duan Yunsha remained expressionless.
"Don’t overreach, Su Hao!" The hot-tempered Duan Hongcheng snapped.
"Then come." A faint smile played on Su Hao’s lips.
Duan Hongcheng lunged despite knowing his inferiority, but Duan Yunsha yanked him back. After hissed whispers, the furious prince stood down.
Su Hao surveyed the crowd like a war god, none daring meet his gaze.
"Such insolence!"
An aged voice echoed directionlessly, mirroring Mei Yansheng’s earlier transmission.
"Elder Jin. Show yourself." Su Hao smiled expectantly.
Space rippled above the platform as a white-haired man in teal robes materialized.
"Fifteen years since we met." Su Hao’s voice softened.
"You’ve grown from child to someone touching the spatial laws’ truths. The Golden Core stage nears." Elder Jin studied him.
Su Hao simply smiled.
"You knew Zhengrong had my backing, heard my warning. Yet you killed him." The elder’s voice chilled.
"Judgment Platform decides life and death. Had he prevailed, would he have spared me?"
"True. But since you killed my disciple, commit suicide. Your family will follow."
"Elder Jin, has seclusion rotted your mind?"
Winter’s bite filled the arena as the elder’s eyes flashed. "Do you comprehend your folly?"
Su Hao stood unshaken under the spiritual pressure. "Think Golden Core stage makes you invincible?"
Elder Jin’s eyebrow twitched. "You withstand my pressure? Impressive. But you killed my disciple."
"Since I’m doomed, let me witness Golden Core sorcery before death."
"Master!" Ye Yun suddenly laughed. "Didn’t Senior Brother Murong just pummel a Golden Core novice? The wailing still echoes!"
"Insolent worm!" Mei Yansheng roared, his tattered robes fluttering.
"Show me this vaunted Golden Core power!" Ye Yun taunted, knowing the weakened Mei couldn’t fight.
Mei Yansheng paled – his depleted energy made retaliation impossible.
"Speechless after my master’s lesson? Sit down before you collapse."
*Splat!*
Blood sprayed as humiliation overwhelmed Mei’s injuries.
"Such arrogance demands correction." Elder Jin stepped forward, crushing pressure rolling toward Ye Yun.
Could Qi Refining Stage withstand Golden Core’s might?
