CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 374: YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT STRENGTH!

In the center of the battlefield, everyone noticed the astonishing scene, instantly understanding what the black-clad youth meant by "giving a chance."

Immediately, uncontrollable rage surged into everyone’s minds.

Are you seriously giving us a chance?!

Feeling the black-clad youth’s genuine contempt and arrogance, a group of underworld big shots who had run rampant in the Jianghu for years had never suffered such indignity and gritted their teeth with ferocious smiles.

"Alright, alright, such arrogance! I want to see how you’ll confront us without the National Guardian Divine Artifact!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao tilted his head in confusion, blinking strangely.

"Do I need the National Guardian Divine Artifact to fight you? Aren’t you overestimating yourselves a bit?"

"You don’t think... I’ve reached where I am today solely relying on the artifact, do you?"

With these words, the black-clad youth took a slow, deep breath and slightly curled his lips, but there was no hint of a smile in his cold, expansive eyes.

"A bunch of ants, you know nothing about strength!"

Swoosh~

His clothing fluttered, the ornate, black and gold-trimmed hem moved without the wind, and his tall, slender figure soared nearly a hundred meters into the air, looking down on the battlefield like a god.

An unparalleled sense of oppression enveloped the heavens and the earth. Watching that authoritative and evil youth, everyone furrowed their brows with dread.

Riding the Qi through the air!

Except for a first-grade grandmaster, only those who had perfected their Qinggong skills to their peak could stand so casually in the void.

But a sixteen-year-old kid, where did he get such a profound Martial Arts realm?

Wasn’t the intelligence saying he was only third grade?

While everyone’s thoughts raced, Zhu Haomiao formed his fingers like a sword and gently pointed down.

"Slash."

Whoosh~

The Eight-sided Han Sword transformed into an endless Sword Gang, descending like meteors across the sky.

[Flying Brilliance·Star Fall]

The splendid and beautiful scene hid a cold killing intent, causing everyone to tremble, using all their strength to desperately resist this catastrophic onslaught.

Clang clang clang~

Various swords, spears, sabers, and halberds swung phantom shadows, forming a watertight defense that kept the continuous rain of swords at bay.

Outside the defensive range of the crowd, the rain of swords exploded into dust upon hitting the ground, turning the thick black bricks, hard as metal, into powder, covering the entire square like bombing artillery.

Rumble~

In mid-air, Zhu Haomiao coldly eyed the embarrassed figures struggling left and right, pursing his lips in mild dissatisfaction.

Although they seemed embarrassed, these people’s defenses were rather solid. Relying solely on the [Flying Brilliance·Star Fall], who knows how long it would take to finish them...

More crucially, the 120 plus points of [Qi] attribute didn’t support such extravagant ground-clearing tactics...

Feeling the True Qi being squandered like a flood released, Zhu Haomiao slightly frowned. The Eight-sided Han Sword beside him, constantly transforming into Sword Gangs, quivered and hummed, condensing the ethereal sword light into over a dozen tangible Glazed Glass Sword Gangs.

On the other side, feeling the pressure lessen slightly, the seasoned underworld overlords immediately reacted.

"He’s exhausted, kill him!"

A ghostly figure vanished without a trace, reappearing suddenly behind Zhu Haomiao in the next second, with a slender dagger making no sound as it aimed at the boy’s back like a venomous snake, sinister and eerie.

As the sword tip pierced into the body, the ghostly figure’s mouth curled into a sinister smile. However, the feedback from his hand caused the smile to freeze, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

There was no familiar sensation of piercing through flesh and blood; the sword seemed to stab into a void.

Amid a feeling of insubstantial impact, the remnant shadow of the black-clad youth silently shattered, a chilling, prickly sensation like a thorn in one’s spine arose suddenly.

[Gale Force·Spirit Rhinoceros]

Damn!

Feeling a tingling scalp and shivering body hairs, he instinctively wanted to turn and check, but a long, white fist imprinted on his back.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fists, palms, elbows, knees...

In a brief instant, Zhu Haomiao’s body became a savage weapon, crashing onto the enemy like a storm.

The enemy floated in mid-air like a sandbag, quivering erratically as if being blasted by a machine gun, while the blood in their mouth sprayed chaotically without restraint.

Finally, Zhu Haomiao gathered his strength for a punch; as the power erupted, it seemed to explode mid-air like a cannon, a straight line shooting into the earth, causing the whole summit of Heavenly Summit to tremble slightly, lifting a layer of gauzy dust.

In mid-air, Zhu Haomiao looked down at a radial-shaped crater several meters in diameter and the spasming, twisted body at the center of the pit, curling his lips ever so slightly.

These old folks lack martial ethics, sneak attacking me, a young comrade!

Then don’t blame me for unleashing the Five Lightning Whips!

But amidst this rapid exchange, invisible chains of True Qi enveloped Zhu Haomiao, forming a complex and mysterious array.

"We’ve locked him! Quickly! Kill him!"

Not far away, several figures, fingers forming magic seals, stared unblinkingly at the black-clad youth, blue veins pulsing on their foreheads.

In a trance, they felt they were not restraining a slender, insignificant youth, but a terrifying beast capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, likely escaping the bondage with the slightest oversight.

With time and space around him solidified, feeling like an insect sealed in amber, Zhu Haomiao’s brows furrowed tightly.

But there was no time to break free of the seal, as the ferocious attacks surged towards him, with over a dozen first-grade grandmasters dropping all pretense to surround the black-clad youth.

Even unwilling to admit it, at this moment, they had subconsciously viewed the black-clad youth as a higher existence, placing themselves as the weaker and the challengers!

Faced with these merciless attacks, Zhu Haomiao merely shrugged impatiently.

[Heavenly Gang Strength·Imprisonment Formation]

[Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique]

The vast ocean-like True Qi sprayed from his body orifices, condensing into a semi-transparent spherical Gang Qi visible to the naked eye, blocking all attacks from every angle.

Bang bang bang~

Various swords, spears, sabers, and halberds struck the Protective Gang Qi, creating ripples of energy.

The destructive energy that mirrored the [Penetration Force] pierced through the barrier, infiltrating the ornate black and gold-edged robes, finally touching Zhu Haomiao’s true form.

But after layers of weakening, under the effect of over 200 points of [Body] attribute, such destructive power was reduced to an insignificant trace, only causing Zhu Haomiao a fleeting prick of pain.

"Open!!"

Clenching fists and arms, Zhu Haomiao’s muscles rolled, Qi Force surged, the illusory True Qi chains around him manifesting into visible forms, emitting an unsettling creak and deforming sound.

Boom!

In the next second, a spherical shockwave exploded mid-air, shattering the seal in an instant.

Not far away, several figures with hands forming magic seals spewed a mouthful of blood, the ruthless backlash force twisting their internal organs, their meridians damaged, causing them to fall from the sky like arrows-returning wild geese.
