Chapter 322: Chapter 321: Overwhelming Killing Intent

The icy voice, as if from the depths of the Nine Netherworld, made everyone’s heart tremble. Upon seeing Shen Haoran, Lan Yansheng couldn’t help but stumble backward in fear.

Shen Haoran glanced indifferently at the Lan Wei behind him, who were relentlessly attacking the sand wall. A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and with a flicker, he vanished from his spot.

SWISH!

A scorching aura erupted among the Lan Wei. Han Xu could only see a black streak of light flashing relentlessly, followed by the heads of the guards being tossed into the air. In the blink of an eye, five of them had been slain. Black Flame then spread from their necks, incinerating their bodies.

Seeing this bizarre scene, even the well-trained Lan Wei couldn’t help but panic. To be slain without even catching a glimpse of the enemy... ’What kind of power is this?!’

Han Xu stared at Shen Haoran in utter disbelief, his mind reeling. ’I knew his combat prowess was formidable, but I never imagined it was on this level. He’s still just a Tier One Spirit Marquis! These Lan Wei are elites trained by the Lan Family. I’m confident I could take on any one of them in a duel, but to behead an enemy in the midst of dozens? I couldn’t do it. Even if I reached the Spirit King realm, I doubt I could do it with such ease!’

After slaying five men, however, Shen Haoran stopped. He stared at the five bodies being consumed by the black smoke, his brow furrowed. When he saw a wisp of black qi drifting out from them, his expression changed drastically.

With a flash, Shen Haoran appeared in front of a Lan Wei, grabbing him by the neck and hoisting him into the air.

"Talk. What’s the deal with the black qi in your bodies?" Shen Haoran demanded harshly.

"I... I..." Sensing Shen Haoran’s murderous aura, the Lan Wei was frozen in terror.

SLICE!

With a swift motion, Shen Haoran severed the Lan Wei’s right arm. A Black Flame immediately erupted from the wound and began to spread across his body.

"AHHH!"

The Lan Wei let out a bloodcurdling scream from the immense pain. His face turned deathly pale, and thick beads of sweat dripped from his brow.

"If you don’t tell me everything, you’ll end up like them," Shen Haoran said coldly, gesturing to the five corpses that had been completely burned to ash.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" The Lan Wei now understood Shen Haoran’s ruthlessness and didn’t dare hesitate for a second.

"I don’t know anything about black qi," the Lan Wei stammered, trembling. "I just know the Patriarch gave us an Elixir. After we took it, our strength skyrocketed, and we broke through an entire Great Realm!"

Hearing this, Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed. The guard had witnessed his methods firsthand; Shen Haoran believed he was telling the truth. He tightened his grip, ending the man’s life. ’The Lan Family massacred the Han Family, and these guards definitely played their part. Each of them is responsible for the deaths of dozens from the Han Family. I won’t spare a single one!’

Seeing Shen Haoran’s ruthlessness, a chill ran down the spines of the dozen or so surviving Lan Wei. They dropped their weapons and turned to flee. ’We have to get away from that Demon! That’s right, a Demon! That boy is a Demon!’

"Hmph. Trying to escape?" Shen Haoran sneered as he watched the Lan Wei scatter. He took a sharp step forward and leaped into the air.

"Nine Dragon Stomp!" With a thunderous roar, a terrifying pressure gathered beneath Shen Haoran’s feet and instantly crushed down upon the fleeing guards.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of explosions rang out. The ground around Shen Haoran caved in, kicking up a massive cloud of dust. The fleeing Lan Wei were crushed by the pressure, their lives extinguished in an instant.

Seeing this, Han Xu couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. ’To annihilate over a dozen Lan Wei in a single move... Shen Haoran’s attack is terrifying! What Level of Martial Skill is that?!’

"Hmph." Gazing at the dozens of corpses, Shen Haoran flicked his finger, sending out an equal number of black flames that instantly incinerated them to ash.

Having done this, Shen Haoran descended from the air and began walking slowly toward Lan Yansheng.

"You... You stay away!" Lan Yansheng scrambled backward, tripping and falling to the ground as he stared at Shen Haoran in terror.

"Stop right there, you little bastard! You dared to harm our third brother? Today, we’re going to tear you limb from limb!" Just then, a furious roar echoed as Hu the Second and Boss Hu appeared, supporting Hu the Third and blocking Shen Haoran’s path.

Hu the Third’s injury had been stabilized, likely thanks to a Miracle Elixir from his brothers.

"Brat! For the loss of my arm, I will have your blood!" Hu the Third snarled, taking a step forward as a powerful aura pressed down on Shen Haoran.

"Get out of my way if you don’t want to die," Shen Haoran said coldly, his pace not slowing in the slightest. Hu the Third’s oppressive aura was completely useless against him.

"Hmph! A mere Tier One Spirit Marquis dares to be so arrogant? Let us teach you a lesson today!" Hu the Second snorted, also stepping forward. His aura merged with Hu the Third’s, causing the pressure on Shen Haoran to skyrocket.

Yet, it still failed to impede him. In fact, Shen Haoran’s pace only quickened.

Seeing this, Boss Hu was alarmed and also stepped forward. The auras of three Spirit Aspects surged toward Shen Haoran at once.

"GET LOST!" Feeling their combined power, Shen Haoran roared. An impossibly domineering aura erupted from within him, forcing the three Hu Brothers back. At the same time, Shen Haoran’s own presence began to skyrocket, instantly reaching that of a Tier Four Spirit Marquis. He had activated Heaven-Dominating Tribulation!

By now, the killing intent in Shen Haoran’s heart had swelled to its peak. His pupils turned pitch-black, and Black Flames began to wreathe his body, making him look like a Demon straight from Hell.

"Little bastard! You’re courting death!" ’The three of us combined were forced back by him, and he’s only at the Spirit Marquis Tier!’ There was no way the Hu Brothers could swallow such an insult.

With a collective roar, the three charged at Shen Haoran. Three massive fists, creating sonic booms as they flew, smashed toward him.

"Heaven-Breaking Kill!"

With a cold shout, Shen Haoran clenched his right fist and punched out, meeting the fists of the Hu Brothers head-on.

BOOM!

The next moment, a thunderous explosion erupted. A visible shockwave of Powerful Qi spread outward in an instant. Lan Yansheng was caught in the blast and sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood in mid-air. Han Xu reacted quickly, throwing up a sand wall to block the shockwave. Even so, he was still pushed back several meters, his feet carving long grooves in the ground before he came to a halt. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
