Another Berserk Symbol of Third Rank Medium Grade!

Lu Zhantao sneered, "Hahaha! After I use this talisman, my power will instantly become infinitely close to the Great Perfection of Late Stage Grandmaster level! When that happens, won't I be able to easily defeat you?"

He was only at the Late Stage Grandmaster level, and though he wouldn't be Lu Wenjian's opponent in a real fight, his own realm limitations prevented him from reaching the Great Perfection level after using the talisman, yet he was almost there.

With his talent, using the strength at the Great Perfection of Late Stage Grandmaster level to fight Xu Hao would be a sure victory!

But Xu Hao wouldn't give him any chance at all.

Xu Hao moved like lightning and immediately sealed Lu Zhantao's acupuncture points.

In an instant, Lu Zhantao was horrified to find that he couldn't move at all!

"What... what is going on?!" Lu Zhantao exclaimed in terror, unable to move his body, never having encountered anything more terrifying than this in his life.

Xu Hao said with a bit of surprise, "Acupuncture point sealing! Does no one in your Lü Family know how to do it?"

"Acupuncture... acupuncture point sealing! You actually sealed my acupuncture points!" Lu Zhantao's astonished expression left Xu Hao a bit confused. * (*)

He grabbed the Third Rank Medium Grade Berserk Symbol from Lu Zhantao's hand and also found three small pieces of energy stone shards and a small magic artifact from his bosom, looking like it was for self-defense, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, isn't your Lü Family supposed to be a noble family? Aren't you a powerful half-hidden family? How come not one of you knows point sealing?"

Xu Hao was truly puzzled.

Why does even a family as mighty as the Lü Family not know how to seal acupuncture points?

Is point sealing really that difficult?

Xu Hao then reached out his right hand, palm facing towards Lu Zhantao's lower Dantian.

In the center of Xu Hao's right palm, a small bluish hole emitting a ghostly glow appeared, as if it contained a universe, making anyone who glanced at it feel drawn in.

Lu Zhantao exclaimed in terror, "What... what are you going to do?!"

Xu Hao smiled indifferently, "Nothing much, you being a strong Late Stage Grandmaster practitioner, if I absorb all your Qi Force to use for myself, wouldn't it be a good use?"

Lu Zhantao angrily exclaimed, "You... you actually obtained the Devouring Undying Bone! This kind of Undying Bone is extremely evil, easily leading one to obsession and loss of mental clarity. You actually dare to use it to absorb others' cultivation to enhance yourself—how perverse!"

Xu Hao sneered, "Since you know my Undying Bone is extremely evil, why do you Lü Family still attempt to seize it? Isn't that a contradiction?"

Lu Zhantao snorted, "Our Lü Family sought the Undying Bone tucked into the cliffside, which you no doubt seized, right? Is it of lightning element? Capable of releasing electricity?"

Xu Hao asked curiously, "How do you know?"

"Hmph! Of course, I know, I even know who the previous owner of that Undying Bone was—a Tianzhu monk who reached the Great Perfection level of Grandmaster!" Lu Zhantao stated proudly.

Xu Hao said casually, "Unfortunately, the Undying Bone eventually ended up in my hands."

"Hmph!"

Lu Zhantao had completely lost his fighting spirit by now, turning rather talkative, saying, "It seems you do not know what it means for someone to master acupuncture sealing. It means your inheritance is far more advanced, at least, far superior to us half-hidden Lü Family."

"Naturally."

Xu Hao responded proudly, his inheritance being truly powerful, though there are still many things he can't access due to his limited strength; otherwise, he would know even more, "However, I have a question, there's always talk of half-hidden families, does that mean there are fully hidden families?"

"Well... I'm sorry I can't answer, because I don't know myself," Lu Zhantao said with some helplessness.

"You don't even know this? Then you might as well die."

With a casual remark, Xu Hao thrust his sword forward, piercing Lu Zhantao straight through.

Looking down at the Fengyi Sword, Lu Zhantao said, "I never would've imagined my life would end just as it was beginning, but being slain by such a peerless divine weapon doesn't tarnish my reputation. I won't witness the ultimate battle with all the world's young talents gathered, regrettably!"

He was immensely saddened, having cultivated so hard to this extent, yet failing to gain fame before being easily and casually slain by Xu Hao.

That, undoubtedly, was his tragedy.

Xu Hao immediately asked, "You know about the ultimate battle?! Could you explain what it's about, and maybe I can extend your life for a while longer."

"There's no need, living a few seconds more or less makes no difference," Lu Zhantao said weakly.
