Chapter 240 Sky Group vs. Dragon Group, the first round
Hearing Li Zhanwu’s introduction, Qin Hao spread out his spirit sense again. He found those perfection stage experts in the cars in the parking lot.

Among them, the strongest was in the beginning period of the perfection stage and the weakest the late period of the perfection stage.

After that, Qin Hao opened eyes and said to Li Zhanwu, “They are in the cars in the parking lot.”

Li Zhanwu was astonished, staring at Qin Hao with surprise, “How did you find them?”

“I have my own ways?” Qin Hao replied as before.

Li Zhanwu opened his mouth and did not say a word. He felt even more confused by Qin Hao’s strength. The young man had surprised him so much. How strong could he be?

Li Zhanwu was not sure. But he could be sure that Qin Hao was very strong.

Qin Hao’s being strong was good, making Li Zhanwu feel more secured. However, the extra security was so little for the force of Dragon Group this time was too powerful.

Just now Qin Hao said there were around five hundred elites of Dragon Group. Then the strongest Dragon Team also came here. He had just a few people on his side, which could be counted by both hands. How could he even fight with them? They could just bury him with advantages in number.

What did Dragon Group want to do? They wanted to fight against and kill Sky Group with so many people?

“Old Li, are you wondering why there are so many people, right?” Qin Hao knew again Li Zhanwu’s thoughts, making him rather anxious.

Damn it. He knew my thoughts. Was he with special talent or the worm in his belly?

“What’s your idea?” Li Zhanwu looked at him weirdly, saying with a serious tone.

“In my opinion, Dragon Group has two goals this time. One, to kill us. Two, to kidnap the superiors on the scene. Third, to make things a big event.” Qin Hao analyzed.

Li Zhanwu nodded, “Yes, I bet the latter two are their focus. Killing us is the second important goal. They are so audacious that they want to do something on superiors. Fortunately, you informed yesterday and they did not come here.”

“But why are there so many people?” Qin Hao looked at the stand. Then the stand was full of people.

Li Zhanwu smiled bitterly. Those superiors could come but were so worried that they appointed subordinates here, like secretaries and assistants.

Qin Hao knew it. No wonder there were so many young people at the stand. Secretaries and assistants were all undertaken by the young.

“They should pray for luck since the situation is such.” Qin Hao shook his head.

Li Zhanwu said with angry, “How could Dragon Group be so audacious? I have underestimated their bravery. They are so scaring.”

See, if senior superiors came here today and were kidnapped by Dragon Group to threat the management team, what would they do?

If they compromised, Dragon Group would be bound to step forward, asking for more power and status. This would lead to the expansion of their forces, which could grow to threat the nation’s destiny. The upper head could not bear it. But if they did not, those superiors would be in danger. Even if the special strong troop was deployed to save them, many people would be sacrificed to fight against the hundreds of elite martial cultivators of Dragon Group. And they could fail.

That would be the biggest goal of Dragon Group.

Think of this, Li Zhanwu had cold sweat on his back. Luckily, they came here earlier and did not let those senior leaders on the scene. Otherwise, the consequences would be quite serious.

“You don’t know martial cultivator well. Now the Dragon Group is in a desperate situation. They have no choice but to do it.” Qin Hao hummed after Li Zhanwu’s words, “Old Li, you should keep in mind that the world of martial cultivator is reigned by the strong. You should beat them with your great power so that they will compromise. Or they will think you are weak. The world of martial cultivator has no mercy or sympathy on the weaker but only bullying.

“If you are not strong enough to beat them, then no one, even the nation, can make them follow the rules.”

…

Qin Hao’s words let Li Zhanwu once again have a profound understanding of the world of martial cultivator. He nodded and sighed, “The country should have a military force of their own, so that there is a force to beat those who do not follow the rules. Relying on others is unreliable. Unfortunately, we understand this point too late. Otherwise, this situation would not be resulted and the Dragon Group couldn’t have developed into so audacious and uncontrollable.”

“Well, don’t sigh. It’s not too late now. The battle has begun.” Qin Hao’s tone suddenly turned cold, looking solemnly at the platform for battle.

At this time, the long prologue finally ended and the host announced above, “With the principle of the friendship first, the competition second, everyone in the competition should behave properly. I state that the battle between Sky Group and Dragon Group starts now. Now, firstly we will welcome the Dragon Group’s challenger to the arena. You should notice that both the challenger and the other side should not be older than 40 years old.”

The battle was no more the previous challenge from special troop eagle force to Dragon Group. Since Sky Group was no longer a secret, from then Sky Group had informed the world formally with its name.

For some people, the host’s words like “friendship comes the first and the competition the second” was like nothing, especially for Dragon Group who was here today to kill people, not for friendship.

After the host’s words, a figure flashed and “tong”, he landed on the platform.

This was a short and yet strong man. He was half-naked, with a face of a dominating look and fat body. When his feet fell on the platform, the platform trembled a few times.

Once standing on the platform, the man yelled arrogantly to the direction of Qin Hao, “This is Fat Leopard from Dragon Group, who will take the challenges of you trash. Come up if you don’t fear death. I will slaughter you like killing a pig.”

This could not be more arrogant. No one in Sky Group could bear it. The bald man rushed out first, “I will go and kill him.”

“Stop!” Qin Hao stopped the baldy.

“Instructor, I…” The baldy looked at Qin Hao without words. But it could be easily told that he was asking, “Why don’t you let me go?”

Qin Hao ignored the baldy’s look and said calmly, “Jingshan, you go.”

Nie Jingshan heard. He stepped forward and shouted, “Yes!”

“Remember, this man is in the peak of the inner stage, who is much stronger than you. You are fighting with the enemy at a higher level. So you should avoid competing strength with him if you want to kill him. You have strengths in weapon and martial arts. You should directly use your weapon without hesitation. You understand?” Qin Hao told him seriously word by word.

“I understand, instructor.” Nie Jingshan carried a broadsword and took a leap. His short strong body fell on the high platform, which also made a loud noise. The high platform shook.

Both of them were short and strong. What different was that Nie Jingshan was relatively less strong. He was thinly strong. The Fat Leopard opposite was big and he was really strong with a big and fat body.

Upon Nie Jingshan landed on the platform, Long Taibai and others sitting on the stand of Dragon Group saw his strength. They had an ironic look and some people behind even hummed.

“A martial cultivator in the peak of beginning stage challenges Fat Leopard in the peak of the inner stage? That’s seeking for death. The so-called Sky Group is really a joke. With so weak power they dare replace us?”

The Fat Leopard naturally saw the power of Nie Jingshan. Such a martial cultivator with a low level dared challenge him. It was nothing but a shame to him. However, he was told beforehand that anyone of Sky Group, whether he was powerful or not, should be killed. Thus, it was a shame and yet he had to kill him first.

In his eyes, Nie Jingshan was like a goat to be killed. A knife would not even be needed. A hand would suffice.

Therefore, when he saw Nie Jingshan reaching out his broadsword, he stood there and said with contempt, “Kill yourself and I don’t want to waste time here.”

“Hum.” Naturally, Nie Jingshan saw his contempt and irony. With anger, he shook the Devil Blade, “You want me to kill myself? Show me your power. Take this.”

“Hum, stupid thing.” Fat Leopard folded his hands. He was still disdainfully sneering, standing there motionless. His mind was clear: to his strength, even if the broadsword had touched his body, he could make a counter in time.

However, when Nie Jingshan’s Devil Blade rushed to him with a yell of anger, he was quite scared. That was so fast, too fast for a martial cultivator in the beginning stage.

Fat Leopard realized the danger. Without caring for his image, he moved hurriedly his body.

“Boom!”

A broadsword split like thunder blast rang. On the ground of the platform the sawdust flew. The platform was built temporarily and the ground was built by the kind of hard thick wood. Hard as the wood was, Nie Jingshan’s broadsword split out of a huge cut, which was accompanied by the splash of blood.

“Ahhh－” Fat Leopard let out a miserable yell. His face was white with pain, and he was holding the shoulder of his half-amputated left hand. Blood was rising between his fingers and falling to the ground.

There, on the edge of the platform, hung a bloody piece of flesh, half of the shoulder cut off.

The result astonished everyone of Dragon Group and even Long Taibai felt so shocked. How strong were the people trained in Sky Group? How could a martial cultivator in beginning stage be so quick and strong?

“I will kill you, give me my weapon!” Fat Leopard let out a thunder-like yell of anger. After it finished, someone in the stand of Dragon Group threw one thing. A weapon was thrown up to the platform.

Fat Leopard had just his left shoulder cut and he still had a good and complete right hand. He picked the weapon from the stand in the air. It was a vicious mace.

“Good. You totally irritated me. I want you to die! Ahhh! Go die!” With a thunder-like yell, Fat Leopard jumped with his fat body. Holding the mace high, he hit Nie Jingshan cruelly at a speed much higher than Nie Jingshan. After all, the peak of the inner stage was no ordinary.

Faced with such a high-speed movement, Nie Jingshan could not dodge but held his Devil Blade high with the same yell to meet the mace.

“Boom!”

With an overwhelming sound, the mace hit Devil Blade and there were all dazzling sparks.

“Damn!” Seeing the scene, Qin Hao on the stand could not help crying out of shock.
