Chapter 421 Destroying the Cult
"Seventh Brother, I think you're just scared. You're scared of that brat Lu Hao. So what if Lu Hao is invincible among his peers? The nine of us together still can't beat him. And with Big Brother here, we can definitely beat that kid. If you ask me, we should focus our attention on Lu Hao. After all, the rewards from the Royal Court are really generous. Maybe that will allow us to advance further, or at the very least, improve our combat power significantly," said an old voice wearing a black cloak.
"Hmph, you only see the advantages. What about the disadvantages? If we can't hit the mark in one strike, others might come soon. Besides, Lu Hao has been staying in the Magic Martial Arts Academy and hasn't come out. Although the Magic Martial Arts Academy only has one ninth-rank expert, the other seventh and eighth-rank experts cannot be ignored. If we dare to launch a strong attack on the Magic Martial Arts Academy today, all the top experts will come back to find us tomorrow."
Some people countered.
"Let's not talk about Lu Hao anymore, let's talk about Fang Ping instead," said Zhao Xingwu, who was sitting above.
After all, he had fought alongside Lu Hao before and knew how terrifying Lu Hao was.
"Gentlemen, I don't see any problem with it. After all, the benefits of killing Lu Hao are numerous—"
Just then, a voice came. Zhao Xingwu looked up to see who was disrespecting him, and saw a young man. Zhao Xingwu recognized him at a glance as Lu Hao. The other elders around him also recognized him.
"Why did you stop talking? Weren't you discussing how to kill me? Keep going, I'm here now."
Lu Hao said with a smile.
The elders exchanged glances, wondering if there was an ambush. How did Lu Hao find their way here? Apart from the Grand Pope, no one else knew about this place. The elders had gathered in different locations.
Some people were already preparing to evacuate, but after sensing the surroundings again, they found that it seemed like the area was completely blocked off, and they couldn't get out at all.
"Stop testing me, I've sealed this place off, you can't get out at all," Lu Hao said with a smile. When he came back, Lu Hao had Cang Mao regain control of the Sky-Binding Bell. After all, it was Cang Mao's divine artifact before, so it wouldn't be too difficult for Cang Mao to regain control of it.
After sealing off the surrounding area, they would be unable to escape, and all movement would be contained within, preventing it from being detected by the outside world.
"Lu Hao, there are nine Rank 9 experts among us. We are no match for you alone. Let us leave, and we'll enter the underground cave and promise not to come back. Otherwise, we'll take you with us even if we die."
An elder shouted.
"Heh, do you really believe your own words? Besides, you seem to have overestimated yourselves. In my eyes, you are no match for me. It's time to settle our scores. The cult should be a thing of the past after today."
Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Dragon King, Zalikaro, Alliance Leader Zhao, let's join forces and wipe out the cult. Alliance Leader Zhao, I know that Minister Zhang and you have some different views, but after we return this time, I will definitely make him pay attention to the sects and integrate them into the Martial Arts University. In the future, it's best for the human race not to fight each other."
Lu Hao shouted.
"Alas, I did have problems back then, and it's truly time to get rid of them now."
Zhao Xingwu, who was at the very front, sighed and said, "Brother, you—"
While the other elders were still in shock, Lu Hao had already made his move, slashing at the Second Elder with a single strike. The strike unleashed 400,000 calories of blood energy, while simultaneously using his mental power to intimidate the Second Elder.
"Godslayer Slash!"
A streak of blood flashed, and instantly, a head flew off. The Second Elder of the heretical cult was dead!
"Second brother!"
"Second Brother!"
Several elders shouted, but the next moment, Zhao Xingwu, the Dragon King, and Zalikaro all made their move.
"Eldest brother, third brother, seventh brother—good, good, good, I didn't expect it to be the three of you—"
The elder who was attacked shouted.
"What are you shouting for? None of you will escape today!" Lu Hao turned around and slashed at another cult elder with his sword. Lu Hao showed no mercy and killed the fourth elder with a single blow.
The other cult elders around were terrified. If they could have lied to themselves and said that Lu Hao had ambushed and killed the Second Elder at the beginning, this was a one-on-one fight, and he was killed in one move. Could it be that Lu Hao has reached the pinnacle?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Lu Hao is only 20 years old and has just broken through to the ninth rank. It's impossible for him to reach the pinnacle. Several cult elders couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that the bottleneck that had plagued them for half their lives had been broken through by Lu Hao.
"No, spare me, spare me! I can deal with the underground warriors, I can redeem myself through meritorious service. A ninth-rank cultivator can do many things—"
Faced with Lu Hao's domineering presence, coupled with the betrayal of the First Elder, Third Elder, and Seventh Elder, the remaining cult elders were terrified and quickly begged for mercy.
"Let you go? Hmph, dream on! Let you go? Who will let go of those who were harmed by cults before?"
Lu Hao ignored what they were saying and quickly killed all six remaining elders. The three survivors were terrified. Although they had heard about Lu Hao's situation and knew that he had killed six ninth-rank elders in the Tiannan Cave, they did not expect him to kill them so easily, one by one. Lu Hao must have broken through to the peak, otherwise he would not be so powerful.
"Master Lin, you should go back and report to Minister Zhang, and have him wipe out the remaining cult strongholds in one fell swoop. Zhali Luoka, you should go with him too—"
"Sect Master Zhao, what I said earlier was not a lie. After you return, you can connect with the Magic Martial Arts Academy to revive some sects. Also, please give this to Grandmaster Zhao. I see that Grandmaster Zhao does not yet have a divine weapon. After it is forged, I hope that Grandmaster Zhao can do more for humanity."
Lu Hao tossed a ninth-grade demon beast corpse to Zhao Xingwu. After all, Zhao Xingwu wasn't a bad person; he was just focused on the sect. This way, he could unleash his full potential. As for infiltrating the underground caves to gather intelligence and act as an inside agent, that was no longer necessary. Lu Hao no longer cared about the underground caves; he needed to think about the situation of those ancient relics.
Zhao Xingwu and the other two exchanged glances but said nothing more. The strong are respected, which is an unchanging principle in the martial arts world. After thanking Lu Hao, the three of them took their leave. They hadn't yet realized that just a few minutes ago they were having a meeting and arguing with the other elders, and now, in less than five minutes, only the three of them were left.
"Azure Cat, put away the Sky-Binding Bell."
Lu Hao came out and spoke to the blue cat in mid-air.
"It's so dirty! I don't want it anymore!"
The cat said aggrievedly, pointing to the blood and other things on the inner wall of the bell.
"Put it away for now, I'll have someone clean it for you later."
Lu Hao stroked the cat's head and said.
"Alright, Bell, come back, come back—" The cat stopped complaining when it heard someone was cleaning him.
Soon, one after another, enormous bronze bells, seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, emerged from the void, gradually shrinking until they became small bells.
