Elder Chen's bodyguards in the living room immediately sprang into action, most of them rushing to help Sun Yu encircle the four experts, while a few others charged to Elder Chen's side to guard him.

Xu Hao and Lei Qianjue also stood by Elder Chen's side, Xu Hao's sharp eyes scanning the room. Faintly, Xu Hao sensed two unusual powers within the hall.

Being at the peak of mastery, Sun Yu himself was a formidable master, but the attacking experts were also at that peak. Although Sun Yu had blocked them, defeating them wasn't going to be easy.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the fight involving Sun Yu, failing to notice that a cleaning old man and woman at the doorway suddenly pulled out two slender, long knives from their brooms and, transforming into afterimages, dashed at Elder Chen at high speed.

"Second squad, protect Elder Chen!" shouted Sun Yu as he fought, angrily berating his subordinates.

Around Elder Chen, several Dragon Guards quickly reacted, stood up, and activated their Qi Force, attempting to stop them. However, the cleaning elderly appeared to be the real experts in this operation.

The Qi Force fluctuating around them fleetingly reached the Grandmaster level.

Although the four Dragon Guards beside Elder Chen stalled them momentarily, the old man and woman continued their charge unabated, and the battle sabers in their hands headed straight for Elder Chen's neck.

Apart from Chen Hai and Xu Hao, there were no other bodyguards left beside Elder Chen.

Xu Hao's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice to Lei Qianjue, "Take Elder Chen back, I'll stop them!"

Xu Hao kicked a nearby chair, sending it flying toward one of the assassins. At the same time, the Life Origin Energy inside Xu Hao surged violently, and an infinite devouring force from his right middle finger blasted towards the cleaning old man.

The expert ready to kill Elder Chen was intercepted by Xu Hao; the male assassin, seeing Xu Hao, frowned and said, "Xu Hao, get out of the way! This is none of your business, don't force me to kill you."

This man seemed to recognize himself?

Xu Hao hesitated slightly, but now that he had intervened, no matter who the opponent was, he absolutely wouldn't let him kill Elder Chen!

Boom!

Xu Hao's punch collided with the assassin's battle saber, and since Xu Hao's body was protected by the Life Origin Energy, his fist wasn't injured.

On the assassin's side, the sound of his battle saber cracking continuously could be heard under the blast of the devouring force of the Immortal Bone.

The battle saber instantly shattered into dust, but the devouring force didn't stop, continuing to spread to the assassin's remaining hand.

The devouring force of the Immortal Bone wasn't originally this powerful; it was only after Xu Hao had merged with the Immortal Bone that the Dragon Pattern on his body seemed to have bolstered the Immortal Bone with additional forces and talismans, amplifying its devouring power by dozens of times.

Splash!

A trail of Floating Light flashed across the assassin's right hand, and in an instant, it was corroded into nothingness, leaving much of his arm missing—a very shocking and eerie scene.

Seeing this, the assassin's face turned pale with shock, "Immortal Bone? You've absorbed the Immortal Bone … this …"

The assassin had been speaking when he suddenly clamped his mouth shut. The Origin Energy in his hands fluctuated rapidly, and in one move, he severed half of his shoulder to stop the corruption of the Immortal Bone's Origin Energy, saving his own life.

Xu Hao, having fused with the Immortal Bone, possessed strength comparable to a Grandmaster; today's assassination attempt was bound to fail. Realizing this, the man turned to retreat immediately.

But having gained the upper hand, how could Xu Hao let him leave so easily?

The Edgeless Ancient Sword he had acquired at the auction, with its violent Origin Energy fluctuations, struck through the air towards the man.

The immense fluctuation of Origin Energy completely blockaded all of the assassin's escape routes. The man, frantically trying to flee, managed to block once, but the very next moment, he was crushed into debris by Xu Hao's overpowering Origin Energy!

This man knew about the Immortal Bone; according to Elder Chen, their background must not be underestimated!

As Xu Hao was dealing with the assassin, another person, a janitorial lady, swiftly attacked. She was unaware of the conversation that had just occurred between Xu Hao and the man. Thаnk yоu fоr rеаding. This wаs brоught tо yоu by

Boom!

With just one move, the janitorial lady's battle saber was shattered.

The Edgeless Battle Saber! That was a recognized treasure given to Xu Hao by the Tuoba Family.

Seeing the battle saber in Xu Hao's hand, the janitorial lady's eyes flashed with shock, "The Tuoba Family?" After taking a deep look at Xu Hao, she used the rebound force of their second collision to flee swiftly towards the outside of the large courtyard.

The guards outside were no match for the janitorial lady, let alone someone was waiting outside the courtyard to pick her up; she quickly vanished without a trace.

The operation this time was clearly well-planned; under the joint resistance of Xu Hao and Sun Yu, they managed to kill five people and one escaped.

Elder Chen was unharmed; Sun Yu, feeling relieved and shaken, respectfully said to Xu Hao, "Young Master Xu, thanks to your intervention today, or we would have been in big trouble."

The opposition had calculated everything today, but they hadn't anticipated Xu Hao's sudden appearance and his formidable strength.

Sun Yu's words carried a tone of self-reproach. Elder Chen patted Sun Yu on the shoulder, his eyes burning as he stared at Xu Hao, "Little Brother Xu is truly a young hero, this is the second time you've saved this old man... With such skills, the old man has a favor to ask of Young Master Xu!"

Xu Hao hesitated for a moment, "Oh? Please tell me, Elder Chen!"

Having fused the Immortal Bone and acquired information about Origin Energy and life sources from Elder Chen, Xu Hao felt somewhat indebted to him. If it wasn't too much trouble, he would naturally agree.

Chen Buyi sighed deeply, "Here's the thing, I have a granddaughter who is somewhat famous in the entertainment industry. She's planning to hold a concert in Huadu, the provincial capital, soon. Those who bear a grudge against me, having failed to assassinate me this time, will certainly target my granddaughter next. Therefore, I'd like to ask you to be her personal bodyguard for a few days, just three days, how about that?"

Chen Hai also quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't expect Little Brother Xu to be so skilled. You and Suyi are both young, you'll surely get along well with her, and with Little Brother Xu's help, I can rest easy!"

"Suyi? Are you referring to the tri-talented star Chen Suyi?" Chen Suyi, with her beautiful and pure appearance, is known as the nation's pure goddess; could Elder Chen mean for me to protect her?
