Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 701 A Chest

This time, Shi Hao was no longer careless.

He unleashed the Starry Sky Storm, a terrifying explosion that overwhelmingly crushed Liu Yifan, who was instantly severely injured.

Was he truly out of moves, or was he deliberately holding back, waiting for Shi Hao to approach and then strike with a thunderous counterattack?

Shi Hao did not want to waste any more energy. Although the number of stars inside his Little Star Universe was countless, had he not cultivated each one by himself?

If he could kill him simply, why waste the effort?

Shi Hao advanced towards Liu Yifan, ready to kill. If the other party had a third Seven-Star Spiritual Artifact, then he would hide within his Immortal Abode.

Boom, he threw a punch, golden light boiling skyward.

Liu Yifan, unwilling to await death passively, desperately fought back with all his strength.

However, under the Starry Sky Storm, already heavily injured, how could he contend with Shi Hao?

Pummeling him punch after punch, Liu Yifan kept spitting blood. After just over a hundred moves, he was ruthlessly killed by Shi Hao.

He fell thunderously, his body almost completely devoid of an unharmed piece of flesh, showing the extent to which he’d struggled to survive.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately unable to save himself.

"Young Master!" The Dead Soldier cried out in anguish, rushing towards Shi Hao without regard for his own life.

Thud, thud, thud, the attacks from Han Junyi repeatedly hit the Dead Soldier, yet failed to stop his advance.

He reached Shi Hao and struck with all his might.

It was his all-out effort.

However, while others could burn their Life Origin in a near-death strike that would be incredibly fierce and even increase tenfold in power, the Dead Soldiers had all their potential squeezed out during their training.

So, the force of this strike was only slightly greater.

Boom!

Shi Hao punched back, sending the Dead Soldier flying.

Sputtering blood, the Dead Soldier was unable to muster a second attack.

Because during his charge, he had endured too many attacks from Han Junyi. It was only his conviction that allowed him to land that last strike; now with that strike thrown, no amount of willpower could reverse life or death.

After coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, he unwillingly lowered his head, yet his eyes remained wide open.

Shi Hao shook his head, a trace of pity in his eyes.

He returned to the War God Statue and sat down again, continuing to comprehend the Finger Technique.

Many people had shifted away to keep their distance, not wanting to be too close to him.

—This guy had just slain an offspring of a Peerless Great Ability, so if one stayed too close now and later found themselves hunted by the Bipolar Hall Master, to whom could they appeal?

Only Han Junyi sat down next to him, without any avoidance.

"Aren’t you afraid of drawing fire upon yourself?" Shi Hao asked.

Han Junyi smiled, "Your Majesty is also a Peerless Great Ability."

The implication being, if the Bipolar Hall Master were to come for him, Jin Huai’an would certainly intervene.

Indeed, if the Bipolar Hall Master actually came over to slaughter the sole son of his Grand Marshal, where would Jin Huai’an put his face?

Besides, if it came to Peerless Great Abilities, who would fear whom?

Alright then.

Shi Hao fell silent and simply continued to sense the Finger Technique.

Han Junyi, equally laconic, also closed his eyes and carefully savored the rhythm of that aura.

"Sister, I think I’m falling for that guy," Jin Yunqian said. "Look, he’s so demonically talented, father should be willing to have another son-in-law like him, right?"

"You’re being foolish!" scolded Jin Yunqing. "This person has also strengthened his combat power with a Secret Technique. His endpoint in life is the Founding King Court, how could you and I marry someone like that?"

"Oh." Jin Yunqian pouted, somewhat reluctantly.

Regrettably, their marriage was not something they could decide for themselves, a fact they had long since resigned themselves to, so even if Jin Yunqian was reluctant, it would lead to no rebellion.

...

Time passed, and Shi Hao discovered that he had already grasped the essence of this Finger Technique.

He slowly moved his fingers, the amplitude extremely slight, yet boundless power converged, ensuring that if this strike were unleashed, it would be overwhelmingly powerful.

"Haha, Rat Lord has learned it!" The Purple Gold Rat suddenly jumped up, prideful and smug, displaying the visage of a triumphant little person.

"Little Stone, this time you’re not as good as the Lord, right?" It laughed heartily.

When Shi Hao had been fighting with Liu Yifan, the rat hadn’t paid attention at all, as it was fully committed to comprehending the Finger Technique, aiming to get ahead of Shi Hao just so it could show off in front of him.

Because it knew Shi Hao had many tricks, and even if he couldn’t win, there wouldn’t be any problem.

Thus, it comprehended without any concerns.

Shi Hao wasn’t surprised; this rat had been nurtured within the body of the Golden Dragon, and it was very likely that it was a person of the Immortal Realm in a past life. Moreover, it had mastered the Primordial Scripture, so it would have been odd if it hadn’t made rapid progress.

However, Han Junyi was scared to death.

Had it mastered it already?

Yet, he still hadn’t even sorted out the slightest clue; how big must the gap be?

He was a peerless genius, yet he was now inferior to a rat?

"You try." Shi Hao said.

"Alright!" The Purple Gold Rat nodded, "Let me show you the monstrous power of the Lord!"

It waved its little claws, and then launched an attack towards the War God Statue in front of it.

Whoosh, a beam of light was emitted.

This was terrifying—the beam as thick as a manhole cover, splendid, dazzling, and eye-catching.

Boom, the beam struck the War God Statue, and a shocking scene unfolded—the statue crumbled into pieces.

"Eh?" freewёbnoνel.com

"Ah?"

"Damn!"

Everyone was dumbfounded at first; the War God Statue had stood for so many years, always erect, surviving the destruction of the Ancient World, indicating the astonishing nature of its material.

Previously, people had attempted to destroy the statue, to no avail.

But now?

It was destroyed with a single strike.

Hiss, what terrifying power did this rat possess? It was too frightening.

Shi Hao was also stunned, but after a moment of recollection, he understood.

The War God Statue was toppled for three reasons.

First, this after all was the Ancient World, where everything was breaking down. Although the War God Statue had stood for countless years, it did not mean it could go on like that forever; destruction was, after all, the only constant here.

Over the years, it certainly was becoming weaker day by day, and right now, this century had reached its point of collapse.

Second, the power of this Finger Technique was too great, far surpassing that of a normal Supplementing Divine Temple.

Third, it was still because of this Finger Technique, for it came from the War God Statue itself, as if there was some special resonance; hence, upon receiving this Finger Technique, the statue immediately shattered.

Boom, rubble fell, raising a cloud of dust into the air.

When the dust settled, all that the people saw was ruins; the War God Statue that had existed for so many years crumbled away, the previously uplifting aura was no more, and that Finger Technique also became a thing of the past.

The Purple Gold Rat itself hadn’t expected this; it stared dumbfounded for a moment, then became even more proud: "The Lord is indeed too mighty, unmatched by anyone throughout the ages!"

Shi Hao chuckled, "You’d better be ready to be pointed at by thousands!"

It had destroyed the War God Statue, making it impossible for others to comprehend it further; how could it not become public enemy number one?

However, no one was currently troubling the Purple Gold Rat.

Because in the midst of the statues’ rubble, there unexpectedly appeared an iron chest.
