Chapter 246 The Real Dead End
If Wu Gang hadn’t grabbed the fence beside in time, he would have been directly thrown down to the arena.
But Qin Hao, with his clothes fluttering, stood in situ without moving at all.
“Wow!” A lot of people continued to exclaim. They couldn’t stop being excited while watching that young man.
Most of these people were young, many of whom were sent by their leaders. So they naturally supported Qin Hao and the Sky Group.
They didn’t know that the instructor of the Sky Group was as strong as such. He was a really formidable figure.
Wu Gang was a superior Martial Cultivator in the Peak of Perfection Stage. To Martial Cultivators in this world, he was already a top master. Seen from the outside, he seemed to be on the same stage with Qin Hao.
However, the “Peak of Perfection Stage” that Qin Hao was in was different from the Peak of Perfection Stage that he was in. The Peak of Third Stage Martial Cultivator should be the real stage that Qin Hao was in, which was much higher than the Peak of Perfection Stage. In addition, Qin Hao had already killed people in the Spirit Stage while he was still in the late period of the Third Stage Martial Cultivator, how could Wu Gang, who was still in the Peak of Perfection Stage, manage to rival him.
Of course, Wu Gang had seen that Qin Hao was merely in the Peak of Perfection Stage. Besides, Qin Hao seemed to be new in the Peak of Perfection Stage while he had been in the Peak of Perfection Stage for at least one year. That’s why he dared to rush to the arena to kill Qin Hao.
He came to show the strength of the Dragon Group but ended in showing the strength of Qin Hao.
He was not terrified but he was confused. What on earth the stage that Qin Hao was in?
“You’re too weak to withstand a single attack. Such trash doesn’t deserve to fight with me. Get fucking off!” Qin Hao didn’t give Wu Gang time to regather strength. He shouted while using one of his palms to strike the man at the edge of the arena.
It seemed to be an ordinary attack. But it caused a gust of disorderly air flow. The wind was howling madly with which came an intensive aura of killing.
At the next second, perhaps, the only thing Wu Gang could do was waiting to die.
“Bang!”
With another silent explosive sound, a shadow approached quickly and withstood Qin Hao’s attack, which made Qin Hao back up immediately.
“Dum dum dum…” It took several very steps for Qin Hao to stop.
“Wow——!”
On the grandstand those people were excited. Many of them stood up, expectantly and anxiously, looking to the arena.
Long Taibai came to the arena. He withstood Qin Hao’s attack and forced Qin Hao to back up far away.
How strong was he?
No matter how strong he was, the fight between him and Qin Hao must be expected by everyone.
Almost all the people on the side of Li Zhanwu stood up, looking at Qin Hao on the arena with expectation as well as worry. They were worried that if Qin Hao could rival Long Taibai.
Seen from the round just now in which Qin Hao was defeated, Qin Hao seemed to be not as strong as Long Taibai.
Qin Hao being weaker than Long Taibai was what they worried mostly. Nothing could happen to Qin Hao. He was the soul of the Sky Group, the pillar of the Sky Group. If he were defeated or even killed by Long Taibai, the Sky Group might die young.
Qin Hao himself wasn’t as worried as others did about him. He was rather calm while staring at Long Taibai who was on the arena. He was looking at the face that was as pale as a dead person’s, with an aura of ease and calmness.
Long Taibai was staring at Qin Hao too. His squinting eyes were shooting freezing looks, which were enough to deeply terrify people, all the way at the young boy.
He was hoping to see fear from the young boy’s eyes or at least a bit of panic. But he was disappointed. The young boy was calm and peaceful, as peaceful as tranquil waters of a lake, into which no matter how the large stone was thrown, a single ripple couldn’t be stirred up.
Just by this kind of spirit and that kind of calm and leisurely state, he was enough to raise Long Taibai’s attention.
Of course, Qin Hao’s strength was also terrifying, at least more terrifying than he imagined.
In Long Taibai’s eyes, Qin Hao was just in the Peak of Perfection Stage, who was nothing at all in front of people in the Spirit Stage. However, although he forced Qin Hao to back up in that attack, he was the only one to know that his hand was still numb.
How strong was Qin Hao? In the Peak of Perfection Stage? No. Stronger than the Peak of Perfection Stage?
In the Spirit Stage? It didn’t seem so. His Qi wasn’t like people in the Spirit Stage.
Before Qin Hao attacked, Long Taibai couldn’t have known his strength. But after that attack, no matter what kind of smart skill Qin Hao had mastered, there must be Qi fluctuations, so he was assured that Qin Hao wasn’t in the Spirit Stage.
Quiet, the arena and the grandstand were both abnormally quiet.
People on the grandstand were all holding their breath, expectantly staring at the two strongest masters and waiting for the spectacle that their fight would bring.
On the arena the two people were also quietly staring at each other. Only the howling sound of the wind could be heard.
Some time later, Long Taibai coldly said, “The battle will continue.”
“What?”
People hadn’t reacted to this. Weren’t they going to fight? What surprised them more was that the words were from Long Taibai.
“Instructor Qin, what’s your opinion?” Long Taibai surprisingly asked Qin Hao with an inquiring tone.
“No.” calmly answered Qin Hao.
“Okay, leave this place to players. We can go.” With words done, accompanied by a gust of wind, Long Taibai disappeared.
Wu Gang, who was still standing beside, was stunned for a moment. He looked at Qin Hao with complicated meaning from behind his mask, then disappeared from the arena too.
Qin Hao turned his head to the host and said, “The battle continues!” Words done, he disappeared from the arena too.
“Aw.” The audience was a little disappointed and sighed.
Li Zhanwu and others also sighed, but they weren’t out of disappointment. They did it because they had no need to worry about Qin Hao. Qin Hao and Long Taibai didn’t fight with each other. So at least for a short time Qin Hao would be fine.
The host walked to the arena again. He took a look at the two dead bodies and the bloody disgusting stuff all over the ground. He had to announce that the battle had to be suspended for ten minutes after the stuff being cleaned.
“Boss Long, how’s Qin Hao’s strength?” At the site where the Dragon Group was placed on the grandstand, Wu Gang, who was sitting behind Long Taibai, asked in a low voice. He failed to see Qin Hao’s strength. So he had to ask the strongest Boss Long.
Long Taibai frowned. He said with a low and cold tone, “In the Peak of Perfection Stage, but much stronger than ordinary Martial Cultivators in the Peak of Perfection Stage. Perhaps, he has already had one foot in the Spirit Stage.”
“Half in the Spirit Stage? Him, at such a young age. How was that possible?” Wu Gang wasn’t feeling good. In this world, when had it became so easy to enter the Spirit Stage? One had to know that yet among Martial Cultivators in this world, there was only one in the Spirit Stage. That was Long Taibai.
Given that Qin Hao had extraordinary gifts and incredible opportunities, it was possible for him to enter the Spirit Stage in the future. But how could he enter the stage at such a young age within such a short time?
At the moment Wu Gang was overwhelmed by a kind of frustrating feeling. All the time the reason he had become the vice leader of the Dragon Team and been second only to Long Taibai in the Dragon Group was all because of his extraordinary gifts and unbelievable strength. He had already entered the Peak of Perfection Stage before his fifty. He was the most potential one to be the second person to enter the Spirit Stage.
That’s why he was rather arrogant. In the Dragon Group he despised everyone other than Long Taibai. However, during the fight just now, Qin Hao defeated him so easily with just a single move. In addition, he was defeated in front of all these people and being exposed to those expectant looks from the Dragon Group’s all members. The result turned all their expectations into disappointments, which hurt him a lot.
His pride, his glory and his extraordinary gifts were at the moment all crushed into pieces under Qin Hao’s strength. He didn’t know why was that. He was hard to accept such a cruel reality.
“Boss Long, why hadn’t you killed him?” asked Wu Gang while holding grudges against Qin Hao. The thing that he wanted most was for Qin Hao to die.
“To kill him? It’s not the right time,” said Long Taibai. Then he raised his eyebrow and asked casually, “Has the intelligence man come back?” From the last question one could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.
Wu Gang, of course, knew what Long Taibai was asking. He answered immediately, “Boss Long, I’ll check it myself.” He stood up while was still speaking. At the moment a man walked to them urgently, who was exactly the intelligence man.
“Boss Long, he’s coming,” said Wu Gang anxiously.
Of course, Long Taibai saw the man coming. He nodded coldly.
After a while, the man came near to Long Taibai. He bent and reported, “Boss Long, all information is clear.”
“Say!” Long Taibai uttered the single word with an overwhelming tone.
“Yes.” The man took a breath, “They seemed to have known our purpose. All senior officers have canceled the plan to watch the live battle and have sent their secretaries or assistants instead.”
“What? They’re not coming? How could you get the information so late?” Wu Gang shouted while suppressing his voice.
The Dragon Group had scheduled such a big movement today. What was it for? To eliminate the Sky Group and to kidnap those senior officers. But it turned out that they were not coming, which led up to the failure of at least half of their plans. It was ironic that the intelligence system of the Dragon Group was known as unmatchable all the time, but at such a crucial moment, they took such a long time to get this information.
From the man’s face one could see he was feeling a little wronged, “According to our former information, at least ten senior officers had planned to watch the live battle. But they provisionally canceled the plan at the last night. In addition, people from the higher level have also increased precaution against us. So we get this information so late.”
“You…, a group of trash!” Dragon Group was very angry. But he also knew the current situation. Since the Dragon Group obtained that copy of core confidential information, people from the higher level not only had increased precaution against intelligence agents of the Dragon Group, but also had improved efforts to undermine undercover intelligence agents of the Dragon Group.
Currently, undercover intelligence agents of the Dragon Group dared not to act at will. Once they acted they would be exposed, which would directly kill them. So it was actually not bad for them to have obtained this information by now.
However, things had got worse.
“Boss Long, the whole Sunset District has been listed as exclusion zone by crack troops. It is heavily guarded by forces including the special troop Eagle force. I’m afraid that…” The man dared not to report the rest of his information. But Long Taibai should have already known what he was going to say.
“Go. Continue to keep watching on the outside.” Long Taibai waved at him.
“Yes.” The man left rapidly at once.
At the moment, Long Taibai’s pale face looked gloomy, terrifying gloomy. He didn’t know things would have gone so far beyond his expectation.
Heavily guarding and crack troops gathering.
What were they going to do? Were they going to attack the whole Dragon Group and even to him?
It was at this moment that Long Taibai realized that the present situation was the real dead end for the Dragon Group.
