Chapter 548: Chapter 548

"The old man has long heard of your extreme arrogance, and seeing you today, it is indeed so!"

The Second Protector snorted coldly, "If you were able to defeat me with a single strike, rendering me powerless to resist, then what qualifications would I have to fight you? However, you are too confident, and excessive confidence is arrogance! Young man, today, I shall teach you a lesson!"

Cao Zhi shouted from the side, "Second Protector, please show no mercy. This kid probably has a trump card. Just finish him off directly!"

Xu Hao glanced at Cao Zhi and said indifferently, "Cao Zhi, have you grown bold now that you see Wu Mengchong and the others have a chance of winning?"

Cao Zhi sneered, "Xu Hao, you're about to die, yet you're still so arrogant. You couldn't possibly be a match for the Second Protector! Rest assured, once you're dead, I will take over your inheritance and bring your women to Young Master Wu!"

He'd been talking for so long, simply to suck up to Wu Mengchong.

After all, when the Cao Family was a vassal family to the Wu Family, it was Cao Ren and Cao An who had contact with Wu Mengchong, and their relationship was relatively close.

Now that Cao Zhi had taken charge, and seeing the Wu Family's terrifying strength, he naturally wanted to continue the alliance with the Wu Family. Therefore, he wanted to establish a good relationship with Wu Mengchong.

Wu Mengchong was no fool; he quickly understood Cao Zhi's intention and immediately said with a smile, "Since you have this mindset, after we cut down Xu Hao today, you can take over half of Xu Hao's property."

"Thank you, Young Master Wu! Thank you, Young Master Wu!" Cao Zhi expressed his gratitude profusely. Although it wasn't everything, half of the assets were enough for him to elevate the Cao Family to new heights.

Wu Mengchong turned to Xu Hao and said, "Xu Hao, if you surrender now and disable your martial arts, I will spare your life."

That's what he said, but Wu Mengchong didn't really think that way. His goal wasn't Xu Hao's life, but if he could make Xu Hao submit without a fight, why not?

However, Xu Hao completely ignored him, not even giving him the time of day!

Wu Mengchong was suddenly choked with anger, yet he was helpless.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being unkind." Xu Hao said to the Second Protector, then, under everyone's gaze, his figure shook slightly, and then he stood still!

What on earth was he doing?

Why wasn't he making a move?

Almost everyone was puzzled.

But at that moment, the Second Protector was deeply shocked!

What now appeared before everyone was merely Xu Hao's afterimage!

How could his speed be so fast!

But now, there was no time for him to think.

The sensation of danger was rapidly approaching!

He let out a loud yell, rapidly striking out dozens of palms around his body, creating an impenetrable defense, and then slightly closed his eyes, his ears quivering slightly.

Xu Hao's speed was too fast, too fast to be seen with the naked eye, so he was using his ears to listen for sounds to discern Xu Hao's position.

This was one of the terrifying aspects of a Grandmaster Level Expert.

Their bodies had already surpassed human limits, and their sensory abilities were far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if they couldn't see with their eyes, they could still use other methods to detect the enemy and react swiftly. This was precisely why he could quickly realize that it was only Xu Hao's afterimage.

However, at this moment, the Second Protector felt a bit disappointed.

He couldn't detect Xu Hao's position!

Then suddenly, the sound of whistling wind arose around him, as if it was coming from all directions!

Xu Hao was disrupting his hearing!

The Second Protector immediately realized, and as a Grandmaster Level Expert who often sparred with another Grandmaster, he naturally knew this technique. Content presented by *.

Grandmaster Level Experts could resonate Qi Force with the air, causing a wide range of vibrations without consuming much Qi Force, depending on the depth of their Qi Force, ranging from tens to hundreds of meters.

He quickly opened his eyes, and his right hand's index and middle fingers came together to shoot out dozens of Qi Forces in all directions!

This was the first time he encountered an opponent like Xu Hao, whose speed was so extreme that he was invisible, but he had already made the best defensive move: indiscriminate attacks around himself!

Yet, Xu Hao was still not forced out.

But just then, he suddenly caught a glint of cold light at the three o'clock direction, flashing by!

The Second Protector was overjoyed and immediately threw all his power into a punch in that direction!

The air itself seemed to explode with his punch, and the object that had flashed with cold light was blasted away.

But, it was merely a broken arrowhead!

He suddenly felt his hair stand on end, crying out in horror, and was about to punch behind him!

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Hao had stealthily approached from behind. Xu Hao's right fist was merely an inch away from his back, then he ferociously struck!

In an instant, the Second Protector's body was sent flying by Xu Hao's punch, soaring nearly thirty meters into the air before crashing to the ground!
