Chapter 535: Chapter 535

Cao An and Cao Ren sneered inwardly at this moment.

They only thought of themselves as useless, unable to deal with Xu Hao, but they had forgotten that Xu Hao was someone even the Wu Family didn't want to mess with!

They had gathered some seemingly powerful things, believing they could counterbalance Xu Hao, but how could those things be effective in front of a strong person like Xu Hao?

They probably looked as ridiculous as children's toys!

However, neither of them spoke out. Even if they did, the Cao family members wouldn't believe them and would mock them even further. So why bother to say anything at all?

They just watched quietly, firmly believing that whatever Cao Zhi and others had prepared would seem extremely ludicrous in front of Xu Hao!

Cao Zhi suddenly felt extremely pleased with himself. Weren't Cao An and the others very arrogant?

Hadn't they obediently handed over the family power under his own strategy?

He looked at Xu Hao and said coldly, "Xu Hao, I know you are exceedingly strong, but do not act wildly in front of me, or else I will show you what cruelty is!"

Xu Hao burst out laughing, laughing so hard he doubled over, and it took him a long time to stop. He then looked at Cao Zhi and said, "You're going to show me what cruelty is? Come on, show me what impressive things you have."

"Hmph! Since you are so foolish, don't blame me for being rude! Archers, get ready!"

At his command, immediately at least twenty people wielding crossbows appeared on the wall. The bows in their hands were already fitted with feathered arrows, just waiting for Cao Zhi's order to fire!

Cao Zhi laughed loudly, "Haha! Xu Hao, look closely, these feathered arrows are made of special steel, and they are soaked with deadly poison—Nine Steps to Heartbreak Powder! Even a touch of it, and you'll die on the spot!"

Seeing Cao Zhi actually revealing these contraptions, he immediately said, "Your trump card is this stuff? Don't you know that in front of me, these things are just like children playing house?"

"You really are full of yourself. A Tai Chi Master once told me, under such a barrage of arrows, whoever it is would be turned into a sieve, and even the master himself could barely defend against it!"

"A Tai Chi Master? How powerful is he?" Xu Hao, unflustered and unhurried, asked leisurely.

"Definitely more powerful than you. I saw with my own eyes how he gently pushed and knocked down dozens of people, tumbling them over like ragdolls," Cao Zhi said with immense pride, for that was the most formidable person he had ever seen.

Xu Hao was speechless, "The so-called Tai Chi Master you met is just a Jianghu swindler. Those performances are all rehearsed to make that fake master seem incredibly powerful. But you are a member of the Cao Family; surely, you've seen some true martial arts masters. How could you have been deceived by such a fraud? Now, that's really strange."

Cao An disdainfully said, "He had no status in the family before and hardly had the chance to see real martial arts experts. With such little experience, it's easy to be fooled." This chapter was made possible by the * community.

"You're saying my experiences are shallow?"

Cao Zhi angrily said, "You dare look down on me? Then I'll let you see the cost of underestimating me! Fire the arrows! Let him taste our Sky of Flying Feathers!"

With a loud shout, the archers immediately began shooting!

In an instant, it was as if thousands of arrows were fired at once, a dense shower of feathered arrows fiercely rushing towards Xu Hao from the sky!

Xu Hao said indifferently, then casually grabbed a branch and sent a tremor of Qi Force through it, breaking the branch into dozens of pieces. Before the pieces could hit the ground, he wrapped them with Qi Force and shot them toward the feathered arrows!

In a flash, "pfft, pfft" sounds were heard as the feathered arrows in the air were hit by the branches flung by Xu Hao. Although the arrows, due to their great force, pierced through the branches and continued toward Xu Hao, their speed had slowed down significantly.

Xu Hao repeated the action, shattering another branch into fragments and throwing them at the feathered arrows.

This time, after two rounds of buffering, the feathered arrows completely lost their momentum and fell to the ground, still at least five meters away from Xu Hao!

From the release of the arrows to when they hit the ground, it may seem slow in words, but it all happened in just three seconds.

When Cao Zhi saw Xu Hao unharmed on the spot, while all the feathered arrows lay on the ground, he panicked.

Up until that point, he would never have believed that it was possible to achieve such a feat with mere human ability!

It was too inconceivable!

Xu Hao gently dusted his hands, shaking off the residual dust from the branches, and said blandly, "Are you convinced now?"

Cao Zhi wanted to say he was scared, but then he reminded himself that he was to become the Head of the Cao Family, a man who would have even higher status and power, and he told himself not to be afraid!

No matter how powerful Xu Hao was, he was still just one man. After all, human strength has its limits!

He snorted coldly, "Convinced? There's no such word as 'convinced' in my dictionary! Fire the arrows again. His Qi Force is limited; even if he could fend off this wave of attack, he might not be able to withstand the next one!"
