Chapter 421: Chapter 421

Xu Hao weighed the kitchen knife in his hand and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Zihao lifted the mountain slashing blade that was over a meter long in his hand, then pointed at Xu Hao's kitchen knife and burst into laughter, "Look at my blade, a meter and thirty centimeters long. In the hands of an ordinary person, it could slice through steel reinforcement. In my hands, it can split a wall in two. Now look at your kitchen knife, I'm starting to wonder whether you're here to fight or to crack jokes?"

Xu Hao remained indifferent and smiled lightly, "Haven't you heard what Anna said? 'No matter how high your skill, you still fear a kitchen knife.'"

"Hee hee, Brother Hao really spoils me." Anna laughed happily, her joy akin to that of a three-hundred-pound fatso.

Jiang Xuezhun helplessly shook her head, certain that Xu Hao was absolutely confident in his ability to instantly defeat his opponent. Otherwise, given Xu Hao's cautious nature, he definitely wouldn't act this way. Xu Hao would never truly gamble with his life in jest.

"Haha! This is killing me!"

Wang Zihao laughed loudly, "Ask anyone here, who doesn't know 'an inch longer, an inch stronger? An inch shorter, an inch perilous?'"

At that moment, Wu Mengchong, sitting at the back, spoke eerily, "Xu Hao surely knows this principle, yet he still acted this way. He is clearly slapping your face, implying you aren't worthy of him using his full strength."

Wang Zihao immediately snapped, "Xu Hao, is that what you think?"

"If you think so, then so it is," Xu Hao replied with a light smile.

"You're courting death! A great young master of the Jing'an Wang Family, and you dare mock me so!" Wang Zihao, furious and heart boiling with rage, raised his long blade intending to strike at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao suddenly said, "You remind me, I had almost forgotten that you're from the Jing'an Wang Family. I wondered why the Wang Family was so obedient when they pledged allegiance to me. It turns out it's because of you. They were probably thinking that once you returned from your studies, you'd kill me and then seize my assets, right?"

"Hmph! What if it is?"

Wang Zihao snorted coldly, "Today, you will die! After your death, your woman, your wealth, and your power will all be mine!"

"It's time you wake from your dream!"

Xu Hao's voice grew colder as he raised his kitchen knife to block Wang Zihao's mountain slashing blade.

Then he slightly shook his right hand, pushing Wang Zihao back several steps.

Such strong Qi Force and cultivation!

This was the first time Wang Zihao directly clashed with Xu Hao's hard Qi Force, yet he was forced back several steps by Xu Hao.

What he didn't know was that Xu Hao was only using less than thirty percent of his strength against him, a Half-Step Grandmaster.

After fighting for half a minute, having exchanged hundreds of moves at an extremely fast pace, aside from a few people, others couldn't see clearly.

Xu Hao once again used his blade to put distance between them, then coldly declared, "Since I said I'd show a trick, let's make it a good show. Lightning Half-Moon Slash!"

With a shout, Xu Hao's body rapidly spun, and the kitchen knife in his hand rotated along, Qi Force wildly pouring into the knife.

In an instant, as Xu Hao swung, the kitchen knife seemed to genuinely slice out a crescent moon in the air!

Zhou Kui and others were so shocked that they stood up!

Zhou Kui exclaimed in dismay, "It's the legendary Lightning Half-Moon Slash that was thought to be lost! It's a major killing move in group battles! With one move, it instantly locks down the space where the blade force is present, making it unavoidable. You have to face it head-on. But the bizarre part about this move is that, although it's an area attack, it can instantly concentrate all the blade force into one spot, turning it into a single attack, truly incomprehensible!"

"Just now Wang Zihao used a blade technique possibly from the Blade Demon, and now Young Master Xu has used this long-lost secret technique. These two young men are both extraordinary!" Qian Hong remarked endlessly

Sun Zai'an, amazed, said, "I never thought I'd see such a lost art. If I could learn that blade technique, none of you would be a match for me."

In a moment of recovery from his astonishment, Zhou Talang snorted, "Even if they pulled off one or half a move, maybe it was just a lucky fluke they stumbled upon, or just good luck. Old Master Sun, even if you learned an awesome blade technique, you still wouldn't be a match for me."

"Ha! That's not necessarily true!" *isthehomeofthischapter

Sun Zai'an, looking towards Xu Hao's silhouette, said, "My Sun Family follows closely behind Young Master Xu. He will surely teach us profound martial techniques. By then, we will leave you all far behind."

"You must be dreaming!" Zhou Talang instantly retorted Sun Zai'an.

Sun Zai'an, not at all bothered and even a bit haughty, said, "Well, you'll see when the time comes!"

Zhou Kui and the others' expressions shifted slightly but didn't inquire further. Each had their own backing forces, and all were formidable. Until the forces behind Xu Hao emerged, none dared to forsake their own backers to follow Xu Hao.

Otherwise, if it angered their own forces while Xu Hao was unable to bear their fury, they would be doomed.

Sun Zai'an easily guessed what these people were thinking, but he remained silent, knowing that even if he spoke, they wouldn't believe him and follow Xu Hao.
