"But you can't make me take this pill. I swear by the name of Cain, Ancestor of the Blood Clan, that I will never do anything harmful to you in my lifetime!"

Florando was obviously very fearful of the Stretch Leg and Stare Pill in Xu Hao's hand. After all, this thing was very mysterious. Since Xu Hao was so sure it could restrain them, it meant it was truly effective. Otherwise, Xu Hao wouldn't be so confident.

Facing something with such peculiar effects, he hadn't found a solution yet, so he really didn't want to risk taking the pill.

However, Xu Hao said, "Don't want to take it? That's not okay. Who knows if your oath can be trusted? Swallow this pill immediately, otherwise, I'll assume you don't truly want to submit to me."

Xu Hao had already begun threatening.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, Florando instantly broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't that he didn't want to submit; after all, Xu Hao's words had already breached his psychological defenses. At this moment, he truly didn't want to die, so he hoped to receive Xu Hao's forgiveness.

Yet Xu Hao gave him no other options. Standing before him were only two choices: either swallow the pill and surrender or be killed by Xu Hao. There was no other path.

After a fierce internal struggle, Florando said, "Fine, I'll take it!"

With these words, he decisively tossed the Stretch Leg and Stare Pill into his mouth, where it melted.

"Your turn, Hai wood."

Xu Hao calmly looked at Hai wood and said, "If you had acted just as you said before you came in, and refrained from attacking me, you wouldn't be in this situation now."

Hai wood said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be so extraordinarily strong. Even we few strong men from the Heavenly List couldn't gain any advantage against you; instead, we were all defeated. But even so, I will not yield to you!"

"It seems you've decided to resist to the end. If that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"

With these words, Xu Hao directly attacked Hai wood. Even knowing he was outmatched, Hai wood, fighting for survival, still put up a desperate attempt to fend off Xu Hao's attack.

But he wasn't originally a match for Xu Hao, and now, with Xu Hao's physical strength advancing by leaps and bounds, he was even less of an opponent.

The crowd only saw Xu Hao's fist collide fiercely with Hai wood's, and then Hai wood, the ninety-third on the Heavenly List, was sent violently retreating seven or eight steps by Xu Hao's punch. If not for his strong powers, that one punch might have cost him half his life.

Hai wood looked at his own right hand and found it stained with blood, with the force ripping open the skin between the fingers due to Xu Hao's powerful strength.

He said coldly, "Indeed, a lot stronger! Now you can defeat most Grandmaster Level experts just with this physical body. Plus, with your strong recovery ability, unless the top thirty Heavenly List experts appear, no one will be your match. I, Hai wood, feel ashamed but dignified to die by your hand."

Xu Hao smiled faintly and said, "My current strength is still just average. Those strong ones at the pinnacle of the world of martial arts have all cultivated for so long, achieving the world's highest extremes. Compared to them, I still have a long way to go. However, I respect your spirit of resistance to the end, so I've decided to let you keep a whole corpse."

As he spoke, Xu Hao struck again. Even though Hai wood resisted with all his might, his efforts seemed negligible against Xu Hao's almost abnormal strength. He was pressured by Xu Hao's formidable power, retreating repeatedly, unable to evade Xu Hao's relentless attack.

Soon, injuries accumulated on his body, and Xu Hao's blows almost rendered his internal organs useless.

Hai wood knelt on one knee, looked up at Xu Hao, and said coldly, "I acknowledge your strength. I no longer resist; you should just kill me with your most powerful move! I want to see how strong your most powerful move truly is! Xu Hao, with your status, I request you do this. You shouldn't refuse, right?" The rightful source is n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

Xu Hao deeply looked at Hai wood and said, "Alright! Since you want to see my strongest move before you die, I'll fulfill your wish! Everyone, move aside!"

As Xu Hao shouted, those standing nearby seemed to be hit by a tornado, swiftly retreating, none daring to linger!

Then, Xu Hao sheathed the Fengyi Sword, slightly raised his right hand into a fist, and a golden light slowly appeared.
