Chapter 238: Live Execution

The moment he arrived, the words were, "You’re not dead yet," with such indifference and tone that even a clay figure would be infuriated.

Moreover, they had invited him to assist, traveled together, but at a crucial moment, they had thrown him into the pit. How could this not make Shi Hao’s eyes cold and his killing intent emerge?

“Be quiet,” the girl in purple said, scolding the young man with green hair. She was very dissatisfied with his behavior. If it hadn’t been for his attack on the ghost ship at a critical moment, their reunion could have led to Shi Hao rejoining them, but now that was unlikely.

“Yunxi, how can you speak to me like this?” the green-haired young man said, his face showing displeasure.

The girl in purple, Yunxi, snorted coldly, ignoring him. She turned to Shi Hao and said, “It was our fault before, and we will give you an explanation or compensation in the future.”

“Yes, Qingyun was too reckless and did some very excessive things, but he can make it up to you in the future. He must pay dearly and offer a treasure,” Silver Snow added.

Clearly, they were not ready to give up and were trying to persuade Shi Hao to continue cooperating, deliberately speaking lightly.

“I’m only interested in his pure blood. What race is he, and whether the medicinal effect is strong,” Shi Hao said.

Qingyun’s eyes were cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Did you see that? They don’t care for your persuasion and even want to hunt me.”

Several divine servants sighed, knowing it was impossible to salvage the situation. Yunxi, the girl in purple, frowned. Her eyes were filled with divine light as she glared at Qingyun. If it weren’t for him, things wouldn’t have come to this.

“This guy is incredibly lucky. Even after entering the ghost ship, he didn’t die. He’s definitely extraordinary,” Qingyun said, then a faint cold smile appeared on his face. “We need him to open the passage, but there’s no need for this cooperation. Just capture him.”

He was very direct and arrogantly signaled his old servant to act, aiming to capture Shi Hao.

“What do you think?” Qingyun said with an even colder smile on his face. “Since we meet again, we don’t need to waste words on persuasion. Capture him.”

Such a tone and attitude made it impossible not to be angry. He suggested capturing Shi Hao and forcing him to open the passage.

“Crawl over and die,” Shi Hao said to him.

Qingyun’s expression turned cold immediately. “It’s not certain whether you’re needed. There are rumors that the Kunpeng’s lair has emerged and opened by itself this time, without needing any special means. We’ll capture you soon, and don’t struggle. Otherwise, if we accidentally take your life, it would be troublesome.”

“Stop being noisy. If you have the strength, crawl over. Stop nagging,” Shi Hao said calmly, with a look of contempt.

“Take him down,” Qingyun ordered, signaling his old servant to take action.

The old servant was a remnant species, very powerful. Though aged and sparse-haired in human form after serving as a servant on the divine mountain, his eyes were like two bright lamps. He stepped forward and reached out to press down on Shi Hao.

“Overestimating yourself,” Shi Hao’s eyes were bright, and his divine light surged. He would not be careless. His energy surged, and a huge Suan Ni (a mythical beast) roared to the sky before diving forward.

This was a sea of thunder, with the Suan Ni’s body glowing purple with gold, resembling a small mountain. Hundreds and thousands of lightning bolts rained down, causing explosions, blazing and dazzling.

The old servant’s palm was covered with runes. He was suppressed in his cultivation here, but even a casual strike was of high-level Spiritual Transformation strength, deafening.

“Boom.”

When they collided, the old servant’s hand shook violently, his entire arm scorched black, his sleeve shattered, turning to ash in the lightning.

At the same time, Shi Hao had closed in quickly. His speed was greatly increased by a pair of Kunpeng wings that appeared behind him.

With a “bang,” he grabbed one of the old servant’s arms, shaking it violently and disrupting the runes the old servant was about to use, causing him to cough up blood.

The old remnant felt an unusual force penetrating from his arm into his body, extremely fierce and Yang, causing his bones to crack repeatedly.

Everyone was astonished. They saw Shi Hao up close, grabbing the old servant’s arm and causing the bones inside to snap continuously. It was incredibly powerful.

“Ah!”

The old servant roared in pain. Despite being caught off guard, his high-level cultivation allowed him to unleash the high-level power of the Spiritual Transformation realm even when suppressed.

In an instant, he became like a furnace. A mysterious symbol rose around him, repelling Shi Hao and protecting himself.

Although Shi Hao was only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation realm, his true combat power was impressive. His body moved fluidly, using the runes from the primordial true solution to counter the old servant’s bone runes, remaining agile and unharmed.

He was exceptionally agile, like a Suan Ni, covered in electric light. He leaped up, using the old servant’s immense power to charge towards Qingyun, aiming to kill him directly.

“Just entered the Spiritual Transformation realm, and you dare to fight me?” Qingyun’s face was indifferent, his eyes cold, with a hint of cruel smile at the corner of his mouth. His body radiated light, and his azure aura surged.

“Whoosh.”

A green-colored giant bird took off, its feathers bright and metallic, with a force capable of splitting the heavens, attacking Shi Hao.

“Boom.”

Shi Hao’s gaze was astonishing. He let out a clear whistle, with rolling thunder and purple lightning, crashing into the green phoenix, causing a brilliant explosion.

“Die!” Qingyun roared, charging forward. As a pure-blooded being who had opened nine great heavens and had already reached this realm, his combat power was formidable.

He firmly believed that even if Shi Hao was exceptional, he was still only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation realm and would be crushed by him.

His right hand was shrouded in mist, with azure runes flashing. Various rays of light danced, falling together, with thousands of swords ringing and clashing.

This scene was terrifying. It was just a hand, but endless light flew from the palm, transforming into countless divine swords that illuminated the sky.

The thousands of swords rotated and slashed together, with boundless sword energy slicing everything. Even Shi Hao’s powerful physique felt the killing intent piercing through his bones, almost causing blood to seep out.

Boom.

A huge wave surged behind Shi Hao, with a black ocean roiling. A large fish appeared, the Kunpeng’s aquatic form, its power greatly amplified here.

Because below the stone steps was the Northern Sea, with boundless blue waves and massive waves, absorbing endless vitality.

The big fish’s tail swished, sweeping through the void and dispersing the thousands of swords, though it was also pierced by some green divine swords, with blood dripping.

This strike was astonishing. Shi Hao blocked Qingyun’s attack. It was their first clash.

Qingyun’s face was grim. The fact that Shi Hao had just entered the Spiritual Transformation realm while he had reached a very high level made his eyes even colder.

“Enough, I will take your life,” the green-haired young man shouted. His eyes turned into two green moons, emitting a thunderous sound and shooting out two terrifying beams of light.

These were two star rivers made of runes. Stars gathered, and as they appeared, it was as if the world was being reshaped, rumbling loudly.

After the two beams shot out, his eyes quickly dimmed and returned to normal. He leaped up, lifting his foot to step on Shi Hao’s head, with an arrogant demeanor.

He had powerful strength and extraordinary means. Although he was domineering, he rarely suffered because he had such capital.

The two star rivers shot out had a peculiar magical power that confined the area, intending to trap Shi Hao as if he were mired in a quagmire.

Qingyun wanted to end the fight quickly. He used his racial talent and divine abilities, then leaped into the air, aiming to crush Shi Hao's head with sheer, brute force.

“Boom.”

At that moment, Shi Hao erupted. Ten heavens emerged simultaneously, containing divine power of the Spiritual Transformation realm. They transformed into a blazing sphere of light, causing everyone to open their eyes wide.

“What?”

Everyone was astonished, including Yunxi, the girl in purple, whose mouth formed an “O” in shock. Her lively eyes flashed with intense light as she stared.

“How did they connect?” Silver Snow also gasped, her beautiful face etched with astonishment.

Ten heavens surrounded Shi Hao, forming an immortal divine ring that broke free from the confinement. It had the power to crush the two star rivers.

The young man with fiery red hair was equally astounded. His entire body surged with energy as he stared in disbelief.

The divine servants were even more shaken. What divine power was this? How did he achieve this? Did ten heavens connected and elevate his power even further?

Keep in mind, he had just entered the Spiritual Transformation realm, yet he shattered Qingyun’s divine abilities, breaking through and closing in.

Qingyun, suspended in the air, watched everything clearly, his mind shaken. The child, who was a few years younger than him, was astonishingly powerful. How had he achieved this?

The ten heavens connected, forming a divine ring that drove the power of Spiritual Transformation, was deeply shocking. Shi Hao stood within the dazzling divine ring, resembling a celestial deity.

The foot that descended aimed to crush Shi Hao’s face. This was both an insult and arrogance. Qingyun wanted to end the fight swiftly, believing he had Shi Hao pinned down.

This was clearly disastrous. He had underestimated his opponent and had fallen into a dire situation.

Although Shi Hao had just entered the Spiritual Transformation realm, he was not confined. Like a sweeping force, he tore through the confinement, using the divine ring to obliterate the star rivers and advance towards Qingyun.

“Bang.”

Shi Hao dodged the crushing kick and grabbed Qingyun’s ankle, then spun him around and slammed him onto the hard stone steps like a rag doll.

This was an ancient relic from the primordial era, remaining unbroken after countless years because of its runes, making it indestructible.

Qingyun groaned in agony, blood spewing from his nose and mouth as his face collided with the stone steps, distorting from the impact.

The pain was unbearable.

Shi Hao took the initiative and would not let up. He continued to spin and slam Qingyun onto the stone steps with all his strength.

Not only Qingyun but even those watching felt the pain. The green-haired young man’s nasal bone fractured and caved in, his face completely deformed.

Unable to endure the pain, he screamed. It was so intense that it seemed to shake his very soul.

His entire body erupted with runes as he fought desperately. His true combat power was terrifying, and if he fully unleashed his power, it would be extremely frightening.

However, Shi Hao maintained control and would not waste the opportunity. He slammed Qingyun into the ground again, causing bones to break and runes to scatter. At the same time, he grabbed one of Qingyun’s legs and stepped on the other, forcefully splitting him.

“Puff.”

Blood erupted, simple yet violent.

Qingyun howled in agony. Although he wasn’t completely severed, his legs were split open extensively. This pain would be etched into his memory for lifetimes, something he would never forget.
