Chapter 795 Qingyi: Who is your sister-in-law?
Chapter 795 Qingyi: Who is your sister-in-law?
Shi Hao walked up to the unconscious Di Chong and looked down at this once arrogant successor of the Immortal Palace.
At this moment, Di Chong's aura was extremely weak. Of the nine heads, only the last one was still barely intact, its eyelids trembling slightly, as if it was still struggling to wake up.
Without hesitation, Shi Hao raised his Void Battle Halberd and thrust it down fiercely.
"--puff!!!"
The halberd pierced through the brow of Di Chong's last head, and blood gushed out.
Di Chong's body convulsed violently a few times, then stopped moving completely.
His nine heads fell down at the same time, and his dark golden feathers lost their luster, turning gray and withered.
The successor of the Immortal Palace has now perished completely.
"Dead..."
Lin Dong looked at Di Chong's corpse and murmured softly, "Brother Shi Hao really killed the successor of the Immortal Palace?"
Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "This Di Chong has tried to kill Shi Hao many times, and he even offered a bounty to enslave him before. Such a cruel person deserves to die."
Ignoring the others, Shi Hao put away the Void Battle Halberd, squatted down, and began to loot Di Chong's body.
As a successor of the Immortal Palace, Di Chong naturally possessed many valuable items.
Sure enough, he quickly found many precious spiritual herbs, magical artifacts, and cultivation technique fragments in Di Chong's cave.
But what truly caught his attention was an antique jade jar.
The jade jar was entirely emerald green, covered with intricate runes, and emitted a faint glow.
He opened the lid of the jade jar, and inside was a ball of bright red blood.
The blood flowed slowly within the jar, emanating a terrifying aura of power.
"This is... immortal blood?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Hao's eyes.
At this moment, the witch suddenly stepped forward. She glanced at the jade jar and her expression changed slightly. She said, "That's right. This is the immortal blood left behind by the ancient ancestor of the Immortal Palace. Di Chong wanted to use it to condense immortal energy, but he was interrupted by you before he could fully refine it. This immortal blood contains immortal runes. If you can refine and absorb it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation."
Shi Hao put the jade jar into his cave and was about to stand up when he suddenly felt an extreme danger approaching.
The danger was as silent as a venomous snake, yet it carried a deadly intent.
His hair stood on end instantly, and almost instinctively he used the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, his figure flashing as he appeared several feet away.
"—Whoosh!!!"
Almost at the same time, a dazzling sword light swept past the spot where he had just stood, incredibly sharp and carrying a fierce momentum that could cut through everything, carving a black crack in the void.
The sword light missed its target and, without pausing, immediately turned to disappear into the void.
"Want to run?"
Shi Hao sneered, and the wings of the Kunpeng spread out behind him, transforming into a golden lightning bolt as he chased after it.
His speed was so fast that he caught up with the fleeing figure in the blink of an eye.
It was a figure dressed in black, thin, with his face covered by a black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
Shi Hao saw that the long sword in the other party's hand was still flashing with killing intent, clearly the same sword that had just been used to stab him.
This person's movements were unpredictable, constantly darting through the void, trying to shake off Shi Hao's pursuit.
However, Shi Hao's Kunpeng was far faster than him and quickly caught up with him.
"A person from Heaven? Who sent you?"
"Shi Hao said coldly. The man in black didn't answer, but instead thrust his sword at Shi Hao. Shi Hao dodged to the side, then swung his Void Halberd, smashing it directly into the man's back.
However, the man in black flashed like a ghost, his figure disappearing into the void in an instant, and then reappeared in another direction, thrusting his sword towards Shi Hao's back.
Shi Hao and he exchanged blows in the void, their swords flashing and occasionally emanating from the large spatial rift.
"--clang!!!"
A moment later, the two clashed fiercely again, and the black-clad man's longsword was knocked away by Shi Hao's void battle halberd.
The other party's expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee, but Shi Hao had already appeared in front of him and pierced his chest with a halberd.
"--puff!!!"
Blood gushed out, and the black-clad man's body fell from the void, crashing heavily to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and he died without understanding why his assassination attempt had failed.
Shi Hao put away his Void Battle Halberd and was about to step forward to check the person's identity when he suddenly noticed another figure fleeing in a disheveled manner into the distance.
He looked up and saw another man in black desperately flying out of the bamboo forest at an extremely fast speed. Clearly, his companion's failure had instilled fear in him, and he wanted to escape.
"There's one more?"
Shi Hao snorted coldly and was about to chase after him when he saw two figures suddenly appear in front of him, blocking the path of the man in black.
It was a chubby, round man and a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.
The fat man, wearing a loose Taoist robe and with a gourd of wine hanging from his waist, was none other than Cao Yusheng.
The little girl, with her silver hair and rabbit ears, was petite and exquisite; she was none other than the Jade Rabbit of the Moon.
"Hey, why are you running? In such a hurry, are you rushing to be reincarnated?"
Cao Yusheng said with a grin, blocking the man in black's path.
The Moon Jade Rabbit, hands on her hips, looked up at the man in black and said in a childish voice, "That's right, why are you running away? We've been waiting for you for ages!"
The man in black had a gloomy face. He glanced back and saw that Shi Hao had caught up. He looked ahead and saw that Cao Yusheng and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit were blocking his way. In another direction, two more figures were rushing towards him. They were Qingyi and Fengwu, who had come after hearing the news.
The man in black felt a chill run down his spine.
He knew he was in a hopeless situation and there was no way to escape.
Just then, Shi Hao suddenly appeared beside him and pressed his Void Halberd against his back: "Speak, who sent you?"
The man in black gritted his teeth but didn't speak.
Cao Yusheng walked over, patted Shi Hao on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother Shi Hao, this man is an assassin from Heaven. According to Heaven's rules, if a mission fails, the person either commits suicide or is silenced by the organization. Even if you ask him, he won't be able to say anything useful."
Shi Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The void halberd in his hand fell down, and the man in black fell to the ground.
The Lunar Jade Rabbit hopped over, looked up at Shi Hao with eyes full of admiration: "Brother Shi Hao, you're amazing! I never thought you could kill the heir of the Immortal Palace?"
Shi Hao smiled and patted her head: "Just lucky."
Qingyi and Fengwu also arrived at this time.
Qingyi looked at Shi Hao and asked, "Shi Hao, are you alright?"
Shi Hao shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, sister-in-law. What brings you here?"
Upon hearing Shi Hao call her "sister-in-law" so casually, Qingyi blushed instantly: "Who's your sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense..."
