When Lu Zhantao spoke, he was extremely confident, as if everything was under his control.

Xu Hao looked at him coldly, with a slight sense of surprise in his heart.

This Lu Zhantao's strength is a bit strong!

Xu Hao glanced briefly; based on his bone structure, his age must definitely be over thirty, but he looks like a young man under twenty, indicating his strength is very formidable.

Xu Hao's eyes burned slightly, and judging from the Floating Light around him, he determined that he was actually a Late Stage Grandmaster Level expert.

A Late Stage Grandmaster in his thirties is almost like a phoenix feather among any faction.

It requires exceptional talent to achieve this!

No wonder he's so confident; it seems he truly believes he can eliminate me.

Xu Hao said lightly, "One at Late Stage Grandmaster, three at Early Stage Grandmaster, twenty at Mastery Period, is this the power of the Half Hidden Family? In the mundane world, a Grandmaster Level expert is as rare as phoenix feathers, but in the Half Hidden Family, it seems they send Grandmaster Level experts out as if they don't cost anything."

Lu Zhantao sneered, "Hmph! See that? This is the power of our Half Hidden Lu Family! Now that you know how mighty we are, don't you hurry up and apologize and admit your mistakes?"

Xu Hao smiled faintly, "During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, there was a famous person in the Lü Family, called Lü Buwei, who treated the king of the State of Qin like a commodity, awaiting a price to sell. It spawned the idiom 'rare goods must wait.' I wonder if your Lü Family is related to that Lü Family from over two thousand years ago?"

Xu Hao also thought of this unintentionally last night; Meng Jiu's family, the Meng Family, supposedly has relations to Meng Zi from over two thousand years ago, so might the Lü Family have relations with Lü Buwei from over two thousand years ago?

Lu Zhantao, upon hearing Xu Hao's words, was stunned for a moment, immediately asking in a low voice: "How do you know? No one from our Lü Family has ever told outsiders that we are descendants of Ancestor Lu Buwei! Even within our Lü Family, very few know about this! Tell me, did Lu Wenjian inform you?!"

Lu Zhantao's reaction unexpectedly shocked Xu Hao.

I randomly guessed, and it's true?

This is too mysterious!

Xu Hao steadied himself and chuckled lightly: "That's right, Lu Wenjian told me."

"That traitor!"

Lu Zhantao exclaimed angrily, "How could he spread this information outside?"

Xu Hao asked, "He used this message as an amulet to beg for his life, but after hearing it, I felt it was useless, so I killed him. But hearing you now, it seems this information is quite important?"

"Hmph! It's very important indeed! However, it's useless now that you know, because you'll soon be a dead man." Lu Zhantao said with ultimate confidence.

Xu Hao laughed, "Seems you don't want to talk, that's fine, I won't force you. However, today, anyone who dares touch me will be killed!" Chapter source: * (*).

As he spoke, Xu Hao slowly drew the Fengyi Sword.

Upon seeing the Fengyi Sword in Xu Hao's hands, Lu Zhantao's expression clearly changed slightly, saying, "This sword doesn't seem ordinary. Many now know about it; where exactly does it come from?"

Xu Hao smiled faintly, "You won't tell me about Lü Buwei being your Lü Family's ancestor, so why should I tell you anything?"

"Hmph! If you won't speak, then forget it; once I seize your divine weapon, I'll have plenty of time to study it." Lu Zhantao sneered and said, "Xu, take this!"

After these words, he pulled out a Nine Section Whip carried on his back.

This whip is made of unknown material, connecting nine iron rods, approximately the length of his height.

He assumed a stance, and those behind him immediately encircled Xu Hao.

In an instant, Xu Hao was surrounded by a group of people, ready to overwhelm him.

Xu Hao gently stroked the Fengyi Sword in his hand, smiling faintly, "Having over twenty experts besiege me, you truly esteem me highly; since this is the case, I'll show you what true speed means!"

Just last night, after recovering his strength, Xu Hao broke through to Late Stage Grandmaster.

The night before, he battled for so long that, although outsiders later saw him as energetic with full Qi Force, it was all an act by Xu Hao.

Otherwise, yesterday morning he wouldn't have bothered talking with Doug, but directly killed him.

Doing the most with the least effort was Xu Hao's state yesterday morning.

He didn't confront Su Shanqing because he knew his state was subpar; he wasn't some fool just showing off.

Thus, last night Xu Hao effortlessly advanced to Late Stage Grandmaster.

At Late Stage Grandmaster, his strength increased further.

After saying this, Xu Hao suddenly moved and vanished from where he stood.
