Chapter 954: Nine Snakes: A resurgence crisis

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“It ended.”

Su Hao looked around.

There was not any nonsense being said. Glancing at the crowd, his eyes finally fell on the giant wolves in the distance. As he pointed his white lightsaber at them and shouted without hesitation, “Kill!”

Everyone came to a realization.

Wolf King was dead, but the battle still hadn’t ended yet.

The previous lack of enthusiasm was only because of their loss of hope. In a battle when they were destined to die, so what if they won? However, now...

“Kill!”

Everyone erupted their dense killing intent.

Without Su Hao having to act, everyone charged toward the giant wolves.

With the death of Wolf King, these giant wolves were just stubbornly resisting. As Liu Ping joined the fight, all enemies were wiped out like a breeze.

Soon, no wolf was alive.

The wolf tribe faced total destruction.

“We won!”

“Hahaha, we actually survived!”

“That man...”

Everyone’s eyes were paying attention to Su Hao.

They didn’t know who this person was, nor did they know his identity. However, since he entered Huangliang Despairs a decade ago, Origin Ability Association should have a record of his.

If such an esper could be absorbed into Origin Ability Association...

One needs to know that although the Federation is huge, those world espers exposing themselves to the public were only around one hundred in number. Most of them were either in the Federation or Origin Ability Association, while the hermits or those working for families were quietly hiding. Neither of them wished to be caught by Origin Ability Association to become a coolie.

Only in places like Taihu Territory and Huangliang Despairs could provide opportunities for them to make huge progress that they would show themselves. Right now, this was the perfect chance to rope in more members.

“Senior...”

Liu Ping looked at Su Hao and excitedly asked, “Are you half a step into the strongest esper realm?”

“No.”

Su Hao smiled lightly and shook his head, “It’s just a powerful secret technique.”

“Oh.”

Liu Ping sounded slightly disappointed.

He wasn’t half a step into the strongest esper? A powerful secret technique?

A secret technique is indeed powerful, but most of them are eruptive in nature for a certain period of time, which is then followed by a long backlash. It isn’t one’s actual strength. Plus, there was also that Xiao An’s origin technique contributing to the victory. In other words, this senior’s strength wasn’t as strong as it seemed?

True.

If he were really half a step into the strongest esper, he would have left this place long ago.

What a shame...

Liu Ping regretfully thought about it.

Seeing this, Su Hao didn’t care. Instead, he looked at Li Xin, or he looked behind Li Xin to be precise. This was because only he knew how he cut off a pseudo-emperor’s head!

A pseudo-emperor?

There was a hint of sarcasm on Su Hao’s mouth.

Was Wolf King truly a pseudo-emperor?

Yes and no.

Yes, because Wolf King did show the strength of a pseudo-emperor. No, because the power shown by Wolf King wasn’t his own to begin with!

That power...

It belonged to Huangliang City’s spirit!

In the past, Wolf King borrowed the power of Huangliang City to ascend. Not only did he survive, but he also reached the point of where he was at now. However, the fact that his strength wasn’t his own remained unchanged.

This was where the problem lies.

Li Xin was no god, nor did he have the same ability as Zhao Feng’s penetration. Thus, even under full force, he couldn’t bypass Wolf King’s defense!

The only one who could achieve this was him, the husky lying like a dead dog behind Li Xin!

When Li Xin attacked, everyone was paying attention to him, but Su Hao easily observed everything around him with Synchronize Space!

Each time Li Xin attacked, there would be a faint gleam of flash coming from that dog.

This was why Wolf King got hit by Li Xin again and again.

Thus, when Su Hao planned his set up, he shouted out loud before attacking Wolf King. That shout wasn’t only for Xiao An but also for the dog!

Of course...

After countless attempts, seeing Su Hao using his full power, at that moment, it made the power that originally belonged to itself invalid.

As a result...

Snap!

The wolf’s head flew up.

Wolf King died just like that. He probably would have never thought of this.

It was such a sad and lamentable incident.

Right now, with the death of Wolf King, his power would return to Huangliang Despairs. Su Hao could clearly feel the strength of that dog rapidly increasing. It would probably need a few months to master back this newly attained force and a new level three world esper would rise up!

And it happened to be Li Xin’s pet!

“This guy’s blessing...”

Su Hao couldn’t help but envy.

He shook his head lightly as he retracted the white lightsaber from his hand.

This is the fourth grade boundary spirit he deduced based on countless design drawings in his mind while using Xinghe Sword as a reference; except its color, everything else was almost similar to Xinghe Sword. This was also the first boundary spirit Su Hao created after Su Hao’s Rule Force improved!

This one powerful boundary spirit already nearly exhausted every bit of his Rule Force!

600 units of Rule Force plus the increment of his Rule Force during the first trial only barely managed to complete it. This was the result of Su Hao’s numerous refinement of the design drawings.

No wonder this white lightsaber consumed so many units of Rule Force.

“Finally, I can be considered having my real personal boundary spirit.”

Su Hao was extremely satisfied with the result.

Having just won the battle against Wolf King, everyone was still in excitement. However, it was at this moment, a gust of wind blew past.

Then they found that...

Xiao An disappeared.

“Xiao An?”

Liu Ping suddenly became wary. That damn Nine Snakes’ girl!

After that scene earlier, he had seen thoroughly of her power. Although her power was so weak that he could afford to completely ignore her, if she was allowed to assist, she could single-handedly reverse the situation! There was no doubt that this was a terrifying grade S talent, but now where was she?

“Who has seen her?!” Liu Ping shouted out loud.

Everyone looked at each other as if they had been splashed with a pile of cold water.

Nine Snakes...

Xiao An...

They seemed to have recalled back the real purpose of entering Huangliang Despairs. Just when they were shocked by Su Hao’s sword, that girl named Xiao An disappeared quietly.

No one saw her!

Where did she go?

Without knowing why, everyone had cold sweats all over their body.

Su Hao looked through the playback of Synchronize Space because even he didn’t notice her. However, through Synchronize Space, he found that the girl named Xiao An actually vanished instantly! Just the moment when he chopped off Wolf King, Xiao An disappeared without a trace.

Thus, Su Hao didn’t notice her.

In order to deal with a pseudo-emperor, he had exhausted all of his mental strength on the sword. How could he have the gut to be distracted? It was then that she took the chance to exit.

“Indeed worthy of being a member of Nine Snakes.”

Su Hao was amazed. Even a little girl was this terrifying!

The battle was finally over.

However, it seemed as if it had just begun.

Wolf King was dead. Although Su Hao created a shocking scene, everyone could see that the current Su Hao didn’t have much strength left.

After all, that was a pseudo-emperor!

Even if they were both at the same realm, they could only be evenly matched. Not to mention, he wasn’t one to begin with! Thus, there was no surprise for Su Hao to be extremely exhausted.

Now, that Xiao An...

“She doesn’t seem to possess much danger.”

“Although the starlight was strong, it didn’t have any fighting power at all.”

“Yeah, nothing much to worry about.”

Everyone comforted each other.

Xiao An’s talent was strong, but it was a support type. So what if she escaped?

“Really?”

Liu Ping’s eyes flickered as he revealed some sign of relief.

Suddenly, countless starlights slowly spread from the sky and fell to the ground. The shining light looked so beautiful, but everyone’s body trembled.

Starlight...

It was Xiao An!

She actually made a move!

historical

Liu Ping’s eyes widened. He felt that this was unbelievable. Everyone here is a world esper. Who gave you such courage to do so?

The starlight fell without causing any harm.

Everyone’s defense didn’t work because this starlight didn’t cause any injury. However, since it was ineffective, why would Xiao An use it against them? They felt something was amiss.

At this moment, a familiar voice came.

“Ahhhh~”

Swish!

Everyone’s face had a huge change.

Elegy of Undead!

It turned out to be that damn origin technique again. How much did that damn Nine Snakes prepare? Along with this sad voice, from the ground, dead bodies slowly climbed up. In an instant, everyone was sweating so profusely that they couldn’t move their legs.

Wolf King...

He resurrected.

“Damn it!”

Liu Ping couldn’t help but swear.

Crack!

Crack!

The corpses shook, and obviously made them uncomfortable. However, soon they all climbed up. The humans who had just died in the battle as well as the wolf tribe, with blood in their eyes, stood up, entrapping Su Hao and others.

Elegy of Undead, it was as perverted as always.

“Nine Snakes, what are they trying to achieve?!”

Liu Ping looked pale.

“Elegy of Undead is very costly.” Su Hao pondered for a moment, “If it’s used just to go against us, I am afraid even the cost might not be recovered but now... Since Nine Snakes made its move, there must be a plan.”

Su Hao uttered some nonsense.

Liu Ping smiled bitterly. I also know this, but what are they trying to do then?

This battle had escalated beyond anyone’s imagination!

It was too quick!

They had just finished fighting the wolf tribe. When everyone was exhausted, a battle broke out again, and this time, it was against those humans and the wolf tribe who died earlier.

“Kill Xiao An!” Su Hao said coldly, “Kill her and everything will be over.”

“Where is she then?” Liu Ping smiled bitterly.

“Where?”

Su Hao looked toward the wall and had a faint glance. He and Chen Xi had looked for it before, and he could be considered quite experienced. The deduction route flashed through his mind instantly.

Boom!

With a slash of the whitesaber...

On one section of the palace’s wall, it collapsed suddenly, and the figure of a girl appeared vaguely.

“Xiao An.”

Su Hao’s gaze was akin to a torch.

“Indeed worthy of being a senior who could kill a pseudo-emperor with a single slash.” Xiao An’s fragile voice rang, “However, so what if you can find me? Can you approach me though?”

“Ao~”

A hoarse wolf howl echoed.

Wolf King’s huge body was now in front of everyone, blocking the path. Everyone’s face looked a bit ugly. Once again, who could break through Wolf King?

“That’s not necessary.” Su Hao’s mouth showed a cruel smile, “Although I don’t generally kill little girls, as for you...”

Swish.

The white lightsaber transformed.

In an instant, it turned into a huge bow. Above the bowstring, a white arrow shone with brilliance was ready to launch.

Swish!

The space experienced a tremor!
