Chapter 326 A Breathtaking Finger
After Qin Hao said about fighting against three of them, the Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect stood out. He released powerful Qi that was as sharp as a sword and spread to its surroundings. Even people below the arena could feel its sharpness.

No wonder he was the Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect. Even his Qi was as sharp as a sword.

The strongest wave of Qi, of course, went to Qin Hao. Fluttering under its pressure, Qin Hao’s clothes were about to be torn apart.

Qin Hao frowned while driving his Qi to resist. He exclaimed in heart: no wonder he could be one of the top masters in Semi-Ancient Martial World.

“A mere junior. Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to fight against us three at the same time? To kill you, I’ll be enough.”

He had known Qin Hao’s stage—the late period of Void Stage.

He was freakier than the three geniuses of their sects by entering the late period of Void Stage at an age under twenty. Since the latter was already freaky enough to enter the middle period of Void Stage at an age over thirty, Qin Hao was, literally, freakier than freaks.

Honestly, hadn’t they seen it themselves, they wouldn’t have believed that a young man under twenty could be in the late period of Void Stage. It was impossible even if he had started to cultivate when he was still in his mother’s belly. However, a fact was a fact. They had to accept it.

Luckily, Qin Hao was only in the late period of Void Stage. And they were all in Peak of Void Stage, especially for Du He who had been in the stage for years.

Although Du He had been thrown down from the sky by Qin Hao, they didn’t think Qin Hao was that strong. They thought Du He might have underestimated Qin Hao and haven’t used all his strength, thus leading to the mistake.

Facing such a freak as Qin Hao, it was normal to misjudge. Who would think such a young man could be a master in late period of Void Stage? A master in the late period of Void Stage was rather rare in Semi-Ancient Martial World.

Therefore, as long as they stopped underestimating Qin Hao, each of them could simply defeat or even kill him. Moreover, Qin Hao was just a boy. Even though he had entered the late period of Void Stage, he might not have equal fighting ability. He was unlike them who had experienced so many battles. In addition, the gap between the late period of Void Stage and Peak of Void Stage was too wide to cross. Was he able to fight against higher-level masters?

It was due to these reasons that the Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect had stood out while looking at Qin Hao with contempt.

Seeing the Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect, Qin Hao’s looks remained calm, “Fine. Do you want to fight in a decent way or a rude way?”

“What’s the difference between a decent way and a rude way?” The Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect looked at Qin Hao indifferently and said with a cold tone. In his eyes, Qin Hao must die today no matter how they fought. How dare he provoke them on the Hero Arena and attempt to earn a place to enter Ancient Martial World? Who but he should die?

“The rude way is about fighting directly. The decent way is about fighting and defending in turn. The attacker should use all his strength and give his strongest strike. The defender should dodge and use any means to defend but to fight back. After we finished our attacks, the one who has been hurt or killed would be the loser. How about it?” Qin Hao explained, “Of course, I suggest the decent way. The rude way takes too much time. I think the transmission array is about to open. We don’t have much time to waste.”

“Fine, the decent way.” The Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect didn’t want to waste time either. The transmission array was about to open. He didn’t have much time. The decent way would finish the battle within a single blow.

“I’ll take this turn.” Du He stepped forward before the Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect. His eyes were burning with anger and hatred. He was longing to rip Qin Hao into pieces immediately. Qin Hao had killed so many disciples of him and dishonored him in front of all these people. No matter for which reason, he must kill Qin Hao in the first round.

If it had been someone else, the Sect Leader would vie with him. But it was Du He, he had to show some respect.

“Okay. It’s so kind of you, Senior. Boy, it’s your honor to die in Senior He’s hands.” After the Sect Leader of Ancient Sword Sect finished, he stepped back.

Staring at Du He, the corners of Qin Hao’s mouth curved slightly. He wore a seeming smile and said, “Considering you’re that old, I, as a young man, will let you attack first.”

“A damn asshole . Is the kid crazy?” In the crowd, Bloody Demon King heard what Qin Hao said and cursed at once.

Du He was the strongest master in Semi-Ancient Martial World. Did Qin Hao think Du He’s fame was from bragging? If he let Du He attack first, the latter would seriously hurt him if not kill him. Even if he could attack in his turn, what was the point if he was seriously injured. In addition, according to the rules, Du He could dodge.

In such a battle, the one who struck first gained the advantage.

Qin Hao couldn’t help with it. It was he who had proposed the way of fighting. Of course, he had to let others but him attack first. However, as he dared to let the opponent attack first, he must have prepared well.

“Okay. You go to hell. You’re going to pay with your life for your arrogance!” sneered Du He. Accompanied by a “boom”, Du He shook his right palm rippling the surrounding void with a wave of Qi. Even the Sect Leaders of Saint Moon Sect and Ancient Sword Sect couldn’t help retreating under its pressure. The formidable No.1 master in the Hero Rankings was not a braggart.

“Ha ha ha, my disciples, today Shifu will seek revenge for you. Little bastard, go to hell!”

Crazy sneers went through the void and up to the sky. A powerful palm was launched, sounding like: “bang and pow”. The void was distorted at the moment and then was thrown into chaos.

Qin Hao was quickly retreating. He was making the best use of the Phantom Cloud Trace. The void failed to track his trail. He disappeared from one place and showed up at another in an instant. However, the powerful palm-shaped shadow was still following him. With a “boom”, it hit him, throwing him from where he was to the far end of the sky. People couldn’t even see him but a stream of blood falling from the sky.

An all-out blow of the No.1 master in the Hero Rankings was really impressive.

“Hao!”

Below the arena, Shi Bingying and some others burst into tears. But their cries were dwarfed by the exclamations of tens of thousands of people, so much so that it was covered immediately.

“Where is he? Where has he been thrown to? Has he died?” People all looked in the direction where the young figure had disappeared.

“Hum, he must be dead. How can he not be dead? How can he withstand that palm of Senior Du He?” judged someone undoubtedly.

“Ha ha ha, my disciples, you see? Shifu has sought revenge for you!” Du He stood at high in the void laughing madly. The laughter was like the rolling thunder, shaking the space and everyone’s eardrums.

However, in the thunder-like laughter, a louder voice burst out.

“Old jerk, you’re not enough to let me, your father, die!”

“Uh, that’s…?” The crowd below the arena were stunned. Soon countless people looked at the figure that flew across the sky like a meteor. The figure glided across over their heads and then stood in the void, confronting Du He.

“You…!” Du He’s laughter came to a halt. But the corners of his mouth remained the way they were when he was laughing. He hadn’t responded to it yet like he had been turned into a stone.

Qin Hao wasn’t dead. How could Qin Hao be still alive after taking his palm? How was it possible? He knew the power of that palm. It was unstoppable even for Peak of Void Stage masters, let alone a master in the late period of Void Stage.

But he didn’t know Qin Hao had made the best use of Phantom Cloud Trace to retreat to a far distance before he took the palm. As the distance increased, the power of that palm decreased. Adding to the effects of the Eternity Spell, Qin Hao’s Skin Refining and Bone Refining had greatly fortified his defense. The Qi Refining could also help him recover from his injury soon.

With all these life-saving methods, ordinary people wouldn’t hurt him. But Du He’s palm was so powerful that he had been slightly hurt and thrown up a mouth of blood.

“Old jerk, it’s my turn now.” Qin Hao licked the bloodstain at the corners of his mouth. A cold and sharp beam of light flashed in his eyes.

Du He came back to earth.

According to the rules, his turn was over now. And then it was Qin Hao’s turn, no matter he was willing or not.

“Fine, go ahead.” In front of so many people, it was not decent for him to break the rules. He didn’t want to lose face as the No.1 master in the Hero Rankings. In addition, even such a boy as Qin Hao could take one of his all-out blows, how could he, a Peak of Void Stage master, dare not to take the former’s blow? If he dared not, his fame as the No.1 master in the Hero Rankings would be ruined by himself.

“Just pay attention. To kill you, I just need a finger!” Qin Hao’s face presented a sneer. He held up his right index finger in the void.

“Boom!” The crowd below burst out. To use a single finger to kill the No.1 master Du He in Semi-Ancient Martial World, was he really that strong or was he just bragging? Or, he was just a maniac.

What Qin Hao had done today had totally overthrown people’s modes of thinking. They could only classify it as the maniacs’ way of doing things.

Qin Hao was not a maniac. He was serious about it. His looks were calm and cold. The fingertip of his right index finger started to gather up power.

Horrible power was increasingly gathered around the fingertip. Roaring flows of Qi swirled in the sky above the fingertip, and then formed soon an eddy, a dark eddy. The eddy kept expanding like a black hole in space.

Now people below were stunned. Most of them had thought Qin Hao was simply bragging or bullshitting. But seeing the Qi gathered around the fingertip, they were shocked a lot. Being able to create something like a black hole in space was not what a human could do. It was the power of nature.

What a freak a Martial Cultivator would be by having mastered the power of nature? Du He was in danger now.

They realized now that what Qin Hao had said was real. He just needed a single finger to kill Du He.

Du He also realized how horrible the finger was. He could feel the approaching horrible pressure of Qi. The blow had already made him feel a threat, a threat of death, before it was launched.

Maybe he should attack Qin Hao right now while the latter was still gathering up power. But there were so many people watching. The rules forbade to attack but to defend and dodge, which was what Qin Hao had done when taking his palm.

So, he could do nothing but watch the Qi of the finger being increasingly horrible. At the same time, he felt that, if he failed to take the blow, at least he could dodge it through his skills. He might be slightly hurt at most. But hadn’t Qin Hao been hurt either?

However, what he felt was wrong. The moment the finger pointed to him, he knew he was wrong. But it was too late.

Carrying the black eddy, the finger shone dazzlingly. With momentum of destructiveness, it ripped the void and went down. It was beyond amazing. It was the most breathtaking finger in the world.
