Xu Hao sneered in his heart, thinking these people are just too afraid to die. They would never make a move unless they had absolute confidence.

Very soon, they arrived at the edge of a dense forest.

Xu Hao immediately laughed inwardly, knowing that in a place with mountains and water, how could there be no forest?

Sure enough, upon seeing it now, there was indeed a not-so-small forest here.

Xu Hao stopped in his tracks, turned back, and said, "If you want to take Xiang Shang's head from me, then follow me into the forest!"

The crowd all halted their steps.

Even though the distance to Xu Hao was less than fifty meters, which is a moment's reach for Grandmaster-level experts.

Moreover, they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

Yet, they still did not dare to act rashly!

They were not fools. Xu Hao rushed here precisely to enter this forest.

Tonight, the moon was a waning crescent, with almost no moonlight. In such a dense forest, Xu Hao could easily conceal his presence and then launch sneak attacks from the dark.

A starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Xu Hao had traveled such a long distance, still leaving everyone far behind, and even killed a Grandmaster-level expert. This shows his strength was indeed formidable. For those below the Grandmaster level, encountering him meant inevitable death.

Xu Hao sneered and said, "Since you dare not, I'll go in myself."

Saying this, he stepped into the forest and quickly disappeared.

But, just as the crowd was hesitating, a peak late-stage Grandmaster level expert stepped out and said, "There are quite a few of us. Are we really this afraid? As long as we stay tightly grouped, there's no need to fear him at all! I hail from Huaya's Jiangnan Province; you can call me Wen Jian."

Wen Jian introduced himself without revealing his family's surname. No one minded, and they all greeted him. This person was a peak late-stage Grandmaster level expert from Huaya. Though they did not know which family he was from, with such strength, in a place where strength reigns supreme, he was the boss!

Everyone must listen to what he says!

A late-stage Grandmaster level expert clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wen Jian is right. We've traveled from afar, whether for ourselves or for the family forces behind us. Do we really want to return empty-handed?"

Many people nodded in agreement.

Finally, they reached a unanimous agreement and immediately rushed into the forest.

At this time, Xu Hao had long been ambushing on a big tree.

But he didn't make a move right away; instead, he set up simple formations in numerous places in the forest, even creating "ghost hitting the wall" like bewitching soul formations. Although they weren't very effective, in the complex terrain of the forest, combined with the darkness, they could wield significant effects.

After setting up a total of ten small formations, Xu Hao finally made his move.

"Swish!"

A cold light flashed, and instantly, three fine heads fell to the ground!

"Xu Hao has appeared!"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone rushed toward the place where the cold light had flashed.

During his escape, Xu Hao didn't forget to continue causing trouble, cutting down one person after another with his sword. This trаnslаtiоn is pоwеrеd by thе rеаdеrs аt

Seeing the people crazily chasing after Xu Hao, Miranda immediately said, "Xu Hao, I swear, I've never been this thrilled in my entire life."

Xu Hao smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'll make it even more thrilling for you. Since these people want to kill me and take my things, they can't blame me for being ruthless."

At this moment, Wen Jian shouted, "Xu Hao, you're already surrounded. Stop your futile struggles and surrender at once! Perhaps we might be merciful and spare your life!"

Xu Hao turned to look at him and said, "Lu Wenjian, a member of the Jiangnan Lu Family. If you retreat today, I will overlook this; otherwise, your Lu Family should prepare to face my wrath!"

Lu Wenjian sneered and said, "Xu Hao, you privately contacted Zhao Yanhong, the woman our family's young master fancies, and your relationship was quite intimate. Aren't you afraid of our Lu Family's revenge?!"

Xu Hao sneered and said, "Am I afraid of your revenge? What will you use to avenge me? Kill me? Do you even have that capability?"

"Hmph! You dare to oppose our Lu Family, you will surely be killed by us! Just wait for death! This time, we misjudged your strength. Otherwise, we would've sent a Great Perfection super expert directly," Lu Wenjian coldly said.

"Heh, I hope your Lu Family isn't just all talk. However, you will surely die here today and won't be able to carry my words out," Xu Hao said indifferently, glancing at the crowd behind him.

"Just a rabble, what can they accomplish?"

With these words, Xu Hao accelerated towards the front.

"Don't even think about escaping!" everyone shouted.
