Chapter 621: Chapter 621
The ground around the two of them was covered with bones.
By the size of the skeletons, they were almost all young women.
If Zhang Xiaohao had arrived a moment later, Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen, the two women, would probably have ended up the same way, their bodily genes extracted by the hemorrhoid-ridden old man, left to shrivel and die.
With the Fish Intestine Sword in hand, he sliced through the iron chains that bound the two women, one after another, the cold light falling in succession.
Flipping his hand over, he took out two greenish elixirs from the Shennong Ring and fed one to each of them.
Immediately after, placing a palm on each of their bodies, he channeled the overwhelming Shennong True Qi into them, driving out the sinister energy within their bodies.
Only then did Zhang Xiaohao withdraw his hands and pick up the two women, slinging one over each shoulder as he walked towards the outside.
Once out of the palace.
With a flip of his right hand, he summoned the Shennong Pill Fire and flung it onto the grand palace.
Terrifying flames burst forth instantaneously from above the palace, encircling the entire building in just a moment.
After retracting the Shennong Pill Fire, Zhang Xiaohao carried the two women and continued walking outside.
Just then, two sonic booms sounded, and as the figures came to a halt, Qing Mian and Sun Dafu were revealed.
"Lord, are you alright?"
"Yes, my Lord, we thought you might have encountered trouble inside there!"
Qing Mian and Sun Dafu said anxiously.
"I’m fine, just a minor inconvenience that I have taken care of," Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.
"Lord, and these are?" Qing Mian asked, gesturing towards Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen, puzzled.
"These two are from my company. A while ago, I went abroad, and when I came back, ten billion in cash from the company’s accounts was swept away, and they disappeared along with it," Zhang Xiaohao explained.
Yet, he was somewhat amused inside – did he truly appear that desperate?
"Lord, could it have been the doing of these two women?" Qing Mian inquired.
"No, it was the former financial manager of the company," Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"Then what happened to them?" Qing Mian asked, still not understanding.
"They have been framed," Zhang Xiaohao replied, exasperated.
"Lord, you didn’t come over just for these two, did you?" Qing Mian asked.
"You ask too many questions!" Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes in response.
"This group is from the Heaven and Earth Sect, very well-hidden, secretly plotting against me for a long time. I’ve been searching for them for quite a while, but to no avail. It wasn’t until a few hours ago that I finally found their lair!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"Hehe, thank you for clearing that up, my Lord," Qing Mian said with an awkward laugh.
"I know what you’re thinking. Since she is now my woman, I will not mistreat her. All my women hold the same status in my heart," Zhang Xiaohao stated calmly.
"Your subordinate believes in you, my Lord!" Qing Mian responded.
"Old Sun, go back to the villa first. Qing Mian and I still have some matters to attend to," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Hmm," Sun Dafu acknowledged with a sound.
With a tap of his foot, executing a body technique martial skill, he transformed into a shooting star and rocketed outwards.
"Let’s go! I’ll take you to meet Ning’er," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Ah! Lord, is it convenient now?" Qing Mian excitedly asked.
"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaohao replied, clearly annoyed.
With a tap of his foot, he accelerated outside using the Twelve Heavenly Steps.
Qing Mian did not delay either, quickly following with a flash.
Several minutes later.
The two stood in an abandoned factory.
"Lord, do you have other matters?" Qing Mian asked, still puzzled.
"You first help them for a moment," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He asked Qing Mian to support Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen.
He tapped his foot and moved to the edge of the huge pit.
"Netherworld Demon Body!" Zhang Xiaohao roared.
As his words ended, streaks of dark black luster continually emitted from his body.
The immense power seemed as if it would tear the very heavens and earth apart.
With a tap of his foot on the ground, his body flickered, centering on the plaza below, and Zhang Xiaohao moved rapidly.
"Left Azure Dragon Claw Eight Forms Fusion!"
Following Zhang Xiaohao’s words, a series of fierce attacks burst from his palms, violently striking the ground.
Earth-shattering noises rang out as the ground under the fury of Zhang Xiaohao’s bombardment was directly blown apart.
Countless chunks of boulders plummeted down crazily below.
In a short time, the vast underground plaza was completely buried.
From afar, one could see a giant deep pit on the ground, at least a hundred zhang in size.
"Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao roared again.
He tapped his foot and arrived at the abandoned factory.
Two dark black iron fists thundered out, domineeringly smashing atop the abandoned factory.
In a dozen or so breaths, he broke the abandoned factory in half.
His figure shifted in a flash, already reaching one side of the abandoned factory. With a tap of his right foot on the ground, he leaped into the air, unleashing a violent blow with his palm.
"Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
The abandoned factory was blasted apart by his domineering force, and the huge building fell into the giant pit.
Dust flew about, the ground shook, and a tremendous roar erupted.
Suddenly, the ground beneath trembled, emitting a faint sound.
As time progressed, a few seconds later, a massive water column spurted from the underground plaza, quickly transforming the entire area into a small lake. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
Standing on the surface of the water, Zhang Xiaohao looked calmly at the scene, and seeing the entire underground plaza submerged, he nodded in satisfaction.
He deactivated the Netherworld Demon Body, and with a flicker, he was beside Qing Mian after a few swift movements.
"My Lord, aren’t you a bit too fierce?" Qing Mian exclaimed in shock.
"Just average!" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged nonchalantly.
His gaze suddenly darted to the front, where a blood-red shadow flashed by.
"Wait here for me! I’ll be right back," Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.
He tapped his foot, pushing the Twelve Heavenly Steps to their limit, and charged out swiftly.
In a few breaths, he had vanished, rapidly pursuing through the small forest ahead.
Zhang Xiaohao stopped atop a large tree, his brows furrowed tightly together.
"Where is he? I clearly saw a figure just now, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned and said.
He swept out with his Soul Power, from himself as the center, sweeping around.
Inside three circles, outside three circles, practically digging three feet into the ground, but he still couldn’t find any trace of that person.
"It shouldn’t be! Even if he left before me, he shouldn’t be able to escape me with my Twelve Heavenly Steps in play. Could it be that he too possesses a Heavenly Rank Body Technique?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered seriously.
