Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Fight Back
Boom!
With a mighty strike, the Light Shield reappeared, blocking Shi Hao’s massive palm print; however, to everyone’s astonishment, the shield actually shattered to pieces.
What!
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was so shocked they felt tingling on their scalp, their eyes nearly popping out.
Indeed, as Lu Yun had said, this Spiritual Artifact could withstand a full-force strike from a Sixth Island contender from the Other Shore, but now? It was effortlessly broken by Shi Hao’s attack.
Then, how terrifying must that strike have been?
At least equivalent to a Seventh Island hit, right?
My God, a martial artist from a mere First Island on the Other Shore was able to unleash a strike on par with the Seventh Island level—how could anyone believe this?
“Stop!” Luo Haodian immediately roared and dashed forward.
He tried to stop Shi Hao.
But how could that be possible?
Boom!
Shi Hao’s Sky-Flipping Seal had already pressed down. In Lu Yun’s disbelieving gaze, poof, Shi Hao’s palm had landed on Lu Yun’s chest, and terrifying power burst forth, causing Lu Yun’s chest to cave in before sending him flying.
That wasn’t all. The force surged and wreaked havoc inside Lu Yun’s body, boom, tearing him apart into shreds.
Suddenly, there was a rain of blood filling the sky.
Thwack, a head fell from the sky and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, its face covered in shock, fear, and disbelief.
Upon seeing the Fire Paulownia Tree Branch, Lu Yun naturally realized that Shi Hao was the cloaked figure.
He had killed the wrong person.
The key point was that Shi Hao had been present at the time!
Thinking back, Shi Hao must have thought him a fool then.
However, it was now too late for him to say that Shi Hao possessed a treasured inheritance.
He died with his eyes wide open.
“You, you, you—” Luo Haodian was livid, pointing a trembling finger at Shi Hao, flames almost erupting from his eyes.
Shi Hao felt as if all his strength had drained away, but he was still able to stand firmly unlike before, though he was weak on the inside and likely to fall with just a small push.
He gave a faint smile, “We signed a life-and-death agreement; life and death are predestined by the heavens, Second Elder, please restrain your grief.”
Luo Haodian was furious and wanted to kill someone. Lu Yun’s martial arts talent was outstanding, and he possessed a Thunder Spirit Root; he even had the potential to confront Hong Taihe in the future.
He had placed so much hope in Lu Yun, and now he had to watch him die right before his eyes—how could he not be distraught?
“Fiend!” Luo Haodian gritted his teeth, but then he recalled that peerless inheritance, and he forced himself to calm down, saying, “Hand over that inheritance!”
A look of astonishment came over Shi Hao’s face, “Second Elder, what are you talking about? We had an agreement; I would fight Lu Yun, and if Lu Yun won, I would naturally hand over the inheritance. But now I have won, so why are you still pressuring me?”
Luo Haodian’s face turned red in embarrassment. The higher someone’s status, the more they coveted face, but he lusted too much for that inheritance, which related to whether he could break through to the Founding King Court.
Naturally, he was not going to give up.

“Give it to me, or die!” he bellowed unreasonably.
So what if I’m coercing you?
Just a First Island contender from the Other Shore!
Shi Hao looked at him, thinking that this matter was obviously not going to be easily resolved.
Even if Luo Haodian kept his word, would the other elders?
Alright, then let’s deal with you first.
He smiled faintly and addressed Luo Haodian, “Second Elder, do you know anything about the Alchemy Dao?”
What does this have to do with anything?
Luo Haodian snorted, “Quit talking nonsense. Hand over the inheritance quickly, or I won’t be so polite anymore!”
He would resort to torture, harsh questioning—there’s no way Shi Hao could stay so defiant.
Shi Hao reached for his Alchemy Dao Identity Token, poured Soul Force into it, and immediately the token started glowing. The words “Shi Hao” and “Three-Star Pill Master” sparkled brilliantly.
What, what!
Everyone was dumbfounded, followed by incredulity.
Shi Hao, a Three-Star Pill Master?
Fuck!
How is that even possible?
This guy’s a martial arts prodigy, bordering on the demonic, and he’s also an alchemy genius?
Not just a one-star, nor a two-star Pill Master, but a three-star Pill Master!
Across the Eastern Fire Continent, there are a decent number of three-star Pill Masters, but someone as young as Shi Hao? He’s one of a kind.
Good heavens, is this guy the illegitimate child of the heavens or what?
Excelling in both martial arts and alchemy, and on top of that, he’s so damn handsome.
Luo Haodian was also taken aback, a look of wariness flashing across his face.
If Shi Hao were merely a one-star or two-star Pill Master, Luo Haodian could have leveraged his own influence to kidnap Shi Hao and torture him for his legacy’s secrets, as long as he made sure to hand Shi Hao back alive in the end.
But a three-star Pill Master… that changes everything.
If he dared to abduct Shi Hao, he anticipated that the Alchemy Dao might explode with fury the very next moment.
Make an enemy of the Alchemy Dao?
Forget that he neither dared nor was qualified, even the Sect Master of the Zhenwu Sect lacked the power to do so.
After all, the Zhenwu Sect was merely a four-star power, whereas the Alchemy Dao could readily call upon five-star forces to fight their battles because of their special status.
With this revelation, Luo Haodian felt a mix of shame and anger.
No wonder Shi Hao was so arrogant; he must have planned to use his status as a three-star Pill Master to oppress others.
Damn it, he knew his own strength, yet he still fought to the death with Lu Yun, seizing the chance to kill him!
Without that deathmatch agreement, even if Shi Hao were a three-star Pill Master, so what?
Pill Masters might stand above others, but it doesn’t mean they can do whatever they please.
So now, Luo Haodian found himself in a rather awkward situation.
He couldn’t throw a tantrum over Lu Yun’s death because of the deathmatch agreement, and he also couldn’t use his cultivation to bully Shi Hao, since Shi Hao belonged to the ranks of the Alchemy Dao!
Fuck!
Luo Haodian felt the deep malice of the world against him, wondering why he couldn’t get the better of such a small fry.
Not just him, the other elders also found themselves in a bind.
To abduct a three-star Pill Master under such public scrutiny?
They must be insane to even think of such a thing!
“Good! Good! Good!” Luo Haodian laughed uproariously, looking upward, but his face was masked with killing intent.
Without another word, he turned and walked away.
Staying any longer would just be humiliating!
“Second Elder!” Shi Hao suddenly called out.
Luo Haodian’s steps halted, and he turned around.
Are you begging for mercy?
“Didn’t you just say you wanted to take me as your disciple?” Shi Hao said with a “shy” smile.
Fuck, you kill my disciple, make me lose face, and now you want me to take you as my disciple?
Luo Haodian knew Shi Hao wasn’t really looking to become his disciple—if that was his intention, he would have agreed from the start, so clearly, he was mocking him now.
Despicable, despicable, despicable!
He turned around and strode off, his face as cold as frost.
Ballsy, daring to “tease” the Second Elder.
Everyone gasped in shock. It was something they would never even dare to think about.
With his departure, the other elders had no choice but to slink away as well, at least they dared not make a move in the public eye.
“Brother Shi!”
Yet many disciples crowded around, especially the female ones, their faces glowing.
Not only did Shi Hao possess an otherworldly talent in martial arts, but he was also an alchemy marvel. Originally handsome enough to make knees weak, now he was driving them wild.
“Hmph, always attracting a crowd like a magnet!” Su Manman said resentfully, stamping her foot angrily.
The big yellow dog rolled its eyes. If you like him, just go for it, like us dogs would—so direct and simple.
