Chapter 287: Chapter 287

"Fuck! You dare step on me, I’ll fucking kill you!" the lead gangster roared.

His palm violently withdrew, aiming to slap Zhang Jing’s beautiful face.

"Ah!" a one yuan coin suddenly shot into the gang leader’s wrist, causing him to howl in pain.

Cradling his right wrist with his left hand, he hopped around in agony.

"Hitting a woman, not cool, right?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

In the time it took to speak, Zhang Xiaohao, wearing the War God mask, walked out of the shadows.

"Ah! Who’s this stinky brat, daring to sneak attack me, you’re fucking asking to die?" the gang leader bellowed through the pain.

"Let them go, cripple your limbs yourself, and we’ll call it even for tonight," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.

He stopped three steps away from them.

"Ha! Am I hearing this right? Just with you? No offense, but someone like you, even if there were three or five more, I wouldn’t even take notice," the gang leader said arrogantly.

"Want to die, huh! I’ll grant you that!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

"Ha! Am I hearing this right? Just you, a pretty boy with a cheap mask trying to act mysterious, thinking you can kill us four brothers? That’s a joke!" the gang leader said disdainfully.

"It’s you!" Zhang Jing said with fiery eyes.

Looking at the man in front of her wearing the War God mask.

The man who had saved her in the abandoned building and then took her... that man.

The man she had dreamed of in countless days and nights.

He had appeared before her again.

And once again, at a time when she was in danger.

Could he really be her true love? A gift sent to her by the heavens?

"Quick, go! They have that!" Zhang Jing reminded.

"Huh! Never thought you two knew each other! This makes things even easier," the gang leader said with a cold laugh.

"You little bastard, kneel and kowtow to me, or I’ll kill your woman right now!" the leader said, seething with killing intent.

Pointing at Zhang Jing’s head.

"I’ve always hated those who bully women the most! Because women are made of water, not to be bullied, but to be cherished!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly. The most update n0vels are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words,

Zhang Jing looked at Zhang Xiaohao with affection, like a woman basked in happiness.

Her eyes, brimming with tears, as if she wanted to cling onto Zhang Xiaohao.

"Ha! Well, watch closely how I bully your woman!" the gang leader said with a sneer.

He raised his left hand to slap Zhang Jing.

Before his left hand could raise, Zhang Xiaohao was already in front of him.

He grabbed his neck and lifted him from the ground.

"You deserve to die!"

With that, Zhang Xiaohao squeezed hard with his palm.

Crack! The gang leader died with a face full of resentment.

Zhang Xiaohao nonchalantly threw his dead body on the ground.

"Ah! You little beast, you actually killed big brother, die!" The remaining three gangsters, seeing this scene, roared in anger.

They were about to shoot Zhang Xiaohao.

Three dark finger forces flashed.

Their heads burst, and the three gangsters collapsed unwillingly, becoming headless corpses.

"Are you alright?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in a low voice.

He untied the ropes binding Zhang Jing.

"Thank you!" Zhang Jing said.

"Huh!" Zhang Xiaohao was startled, confused by the scene unfolding before him.

"I like you! Ever since you saved me, you’ve stolen my entire heart. During the time you weren’t here, I couldn’t sleep or eat properly; all I could think about was you!" Zhang Jing confessed boldly.

"..." Zhang Xiaohao was speechless inside.

He stood there awkwardly.

"Promise me, don’t go this time, okay?" Zhang Jing, gripping Zhang Xiaohao’s shoulders and looking into his eyes through the mask, pleaded earnestly.

Looking at the beauty before him, showing reluctance.

With a step, he executed the Twelve Heavenly Steps, becoming a wisp of ghostly light, quickly escaping the scene.

"You listen to me! No matter where you run, I, Zhang Jing, swear! I will find you," Zhang Jing said solemnly as she watched the fading figure.

From afar, Zhang Xiaohao heaved a heavy sigh.

Irritated, he thought to himself, Zhang Jing is just too bold.

We’ve only met twice, and she’s already smitten with me. Could my charm really be that great?

Shaking his head, he removed the War God mask and stored it in the Shennong Ring.

With a step, he headed towards the villa in the Heavens Above.

When he got back to the villa, it was already deep into the night.

Zhang Xiaohao changed into slippers, undisturbed by anyone, and made himself something to eat in the kitchen, followed by a warm bath.

Afterward, he went to the basement.

He chose a room and walked in.

Shennong True Qi flowed in his palm, and he fiercely dug into the ground at the center of the room.

A moment later, a small pit appeared in the room.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.

From the Shennong Ring, he took out the sealed Netherworld Holy Tree and placed it in the prepared pit.

He released the sealing.

The Netherworld Holy Tree danced joyously, instinctively absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy around it.

"Hmm? The speed is still a bit slow!" Zhang Xiaohao muttered.

After thinking for a moment, he flipped his palm and took out a Great Five Elements Spirit Pill.

Just as he was about to crush the Spirit Pill and sprinkle it on the Netherworld Holy Tree,

an unexpected change occurred.

A black figure swiftly burst out from Zhang Xiaohao’s embrace, swallowing the Great Five Elements Spirit Pill in one gulp.

"Damn it! This damn dog!" Zhang Xiaohao cursed under his breath.

Irritated, he tossed the little culprit to the ground and took out another Great Five Elements Spirit Pill, crushed it, and sprinkled the powder on the Netherworld Holy Tree.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

After absorbing the powder of the Great Five Elements Spirit Pill, the speed at which the Netherworld Holy Tree absorbed the nature’s spiritual energy increased dramatically, by sixfold.
