Chereads / Longevity: Starting from the Destiny Entry / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Desperate Situation

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Desperate Situation

County Lord's mansion.

Li Hong was drinking with the Yamen scribe.

Suddenly.

He banged the table and stood up, his gaze turned towards the direction of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

"What audacity! This Li Hao actually dared to sneak into the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in the middle of the night to commit murder. Clearly, he doesn't take me seriously."

His eyes blazed with anger, "It seems that I've been silent for too long and they've forgotten about my methods!"

"Old Five!"

"Here!"

A man in black appeared instantly in front of Li Hong.

"Take some men and ransack Li Hao's house. As for the reason, get it from the archives."

"Yes!"

The man in black saluted and then quickly left the room.

At this time, the scribe asked: "Sir, what about Jiang Yuan? Should we send someone to help him?"

"No need! I have said before, if he likes to jump around, I can't protect him all the time, at most I can avenge him and retrieve his body."

He looked out of the window and continued: "Whether he can survive in Li Hao's hands depends on his own ability! If he likes to show off but doesn't have any survival skills, he deserves it!"

"If he really dies at the hands of Li Hao, having so many people die for him would be the epitome of benevolence."

Zhenyuan Escort Agency

Gu Mo said: "Take another one of my swords!"

As his voice fell.

Vrrr---

The humming of the sword was endless and his figure shot out like a sharp sword.

At this moment, Li Hao also shouted: "You also take my stick."

Both hands were raised above his head as if a mountain was gathered on his long stick.

Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression somewhat serious.

Even though he knew that the shadow of the mountain was an illusion, he couldn't help but feel a touch of tension in his heart.

It was as if he really was holding up a mountain, ready to crash down at any moment.

This is the power of those at the Spirit Nurturing level, highly condensed spiritual power.

Before taking the move, one has to endure intimidation at their spiritual level.

Making people feel weak before the battle, decreasing their chances of winning by 30%.

In the next moment, he swung towards Gu Mo with full force.

"Good!"

Gu Mo shouted.

Facing the mountain-like illusion coming crashing down from above, his face remained unchanged and his eyes were full of determination.

His long sword once again pierced Li Hao's Divine Might stick with countless sword lights.

Boom!

The two weapons met as if a thunderbolt had erupted from the ground.

Using this force, Li Hao quickly retreated.

"Jiang Yuan, I'll remember today's enmity. I'll pay you back another day."

At this point, he didn't want to fight anymore.

Gu Mo's strength was beyond his expectation. He was not confident he could beat Gu Mo, just based on him alone.

He was older, and after a couple of exchanges with Gu Mo, he was already slightly injured and no longer at his peak.

With an unknown Jiang Yuan added to the mix, he had no confidence at all.

He knew very well the strength of his two disciples.

Although they had just entered the Blood Transformation level, they were not to be underestimated.

Yet, they fell into Jiang Yuan's hands in just a short moment.

Even now, he found it hard to believe.

How could Jiang Yuan, with his ordinary talent, kill them both?

Facing this situation, how could he dare to continue the fight?

If Jiang Yuan teamed up with Gu Mo, he might really die here today.

Thinking of all this, he lost all his fighting spirit and quickly retreated.

Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed.

"Want to escape!"

He was about to chase after him to stop him.

At this time, Old Ma rushed over and threw the heavy sword in his hand toward Jiang Yuan.

"Young master, catch the sword!"

Jiang Yuan reached out into the air and grabbed the heavy sword weighing a thousand jins, holding it firmly in his hand.

With the divine weapon in his hand, Jiang Yuan's confidence soared.

"Li Hao, you want to run? Have you asked me?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yuan bent his legs and then exerted all his strength.

Boom!

The green bricks under his feet exploded instantly, and he shot toward Li Hao like a cannonball.

With this leap, Jiang Yuan exerted his full strength, like a thunderbolt.

"The Zhenyuan Escort Agency is not a place where you can come and go as you please!"

Jiang Yuan spread out in the air, holding the heavy sword high in his hand, adjusting to the best position to strike, and rushed toward Li Hao.

Seeing this, numerous thoughts flashed through Li Hao's mind.

Then he gritted his teeth, stopped abruptly, and shouted: "Jiang Yuan since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"

He quickly adjusted his posture, holding the pitted Divine Might stick tightly in both hands, staring at Jiang Yuan.

I don't believe it, he hasn't reached the Blood Transformation level yet, how can he be my opponent?

I want to see what strength he has that allowed him to kill my two disciples so quickly.

In the next moment, he swung the Shenwei stick in his hand toward Jiang Yuan.

Boom!

An earth-shattering noise.

Within a few miles radius, everyone clearly heard the thunder-like rumbling sound.

Many people were shocked as they looked in the direction of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Someone wondered, "Is the fight this intense? Could it be that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency still has a master of the Spirit Nurturing level? Who can fiercely compete with Li Hao?"

Meanwhile, inside the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

Where the two weapons met, a storm emerged from the flat ground.

Invisible shockwaves spread all around, stirring up countless fallen leaves and flowers.

"Ugh---"

Li Hao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his body was hurled back heavily.

Everywhere he passed, there was destruction.

Not until he crashed into a wall did his body finally stop.

Jiang Yuan stretched his body, smiling, "Not bad! You're the first person to let me display all my strength!"

"This is impossible!!!"

Li Hao staggered to his feet, his face full of disbelief, "How can your strength be so terrifying!"

His heart was filled with endless regret.

He had underestimated his opponent! How dare he!

And even dared to face the slash from above, especially when he was holding a heavy sword.

On the other side,

Old Ma was dumbfounded watching this scene.

Am I seeing things?!

Li Hao, Master of Shenwei Martial Arts Hall, a being of the eighth level of Body Forging.

A top-notch master of the Spirit Nurturing level.

He was defeated by the young master in one move.

How strong exactly is the young master!

His mind was full of doubts.

Jiang Yuan slowly walked towards him.

"Li Hao, any last words?"

"Heh--- hehe ---" Li Hao suddenly laughed towards the sky, "I never thought that I, Li Hao, who had been prestigious all my life, even when your father was alive, could only suppress me."

"Today, however, I'm defeated by you, how pitiful! How ridiculous!"

"I underestimated your strength! Everyone underestimated you! My two disciples did not die in vain!"

"But I was wronged! If I had known you had such strength, how could I have taken your attack, not to withstand your attack, your strength is only seven or eight thousand jins, how could it defeat me!"

After speaking, he shook his head again.

"Well, what's the point of saying all this? Today, I admit defeat at your hands!"

He closed his eyes, "Go ahead!"

At this moment, he seemed to have completely given up resistance, allowing Jiang Yuan to kill him.

However, when Jiang Yuan was about ten feet away from him.

He suddenly opened his eyes, "Kill---"

With a roar from his mouth.

His naturally hanging arms suddenly bulged with blue veins, gripping the Shenwei stick in his hands, and threw it at Jiang Yuan with all his might.

Boom---

White ripples of shockwaves spread out in all directions like waves.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan's expression didn't change at all.

This was all within his expectations.

How could someone like Li Hao surrender and allow others to slaughter him?

If he really did so, he wouldn't have made it this far.

People without ambition, even with decent talent, find it hard to reach his level.

Even more so, his talent is not exactly outstanding.
