Chapter 835 Shi Hao: I will walk my own path!

A moment later, the crimson sea of ​​fire finally dissipated.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure covered in blood slowly emerged.

It was Shi Hao.

Although Shi Hao's body was covered with scorch marks and wounds, his eyes were still as bright as stars, as if the explosion that had just killed a Heavenly God Realm expert had only made him frown slightly.

"Brother Shi Hao!"

Lin Dong was the first to rush over, looking him up and down: "Are you alright?"

Shi Hao shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I won't die, but this guy is really ruthless. He was even willing to blow up a divine artifact just to kill me. The Heavenly Kingdom's foundation is deeper than I imagined."

Han Li stepped forward, his gaze grave, and said, "Brother Shi Hao, judging from the power and runes of that blood sword just now, the person who made the move is very likely the number one assassin of the Heavenly Kingdom. Only he could use a divine artifact to deal with you and get so close without you noticing."

The Jade Rabbit, hiding behind Cao Yusheng, asked timidly, "Is...is that person still nearby? He won't come back, will he?"

Shi Hao shook his head, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding void: "He's already gone. An assassin of this caliber would never linger if he missed his first strike. The fact that he could use a divine artifact to assassinate me shows that the Heavenly Kingdom values ​​me far more than I imagined."

His voice grew colder and colder, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually intensified, like a volcano about to erupt.

"However, since they dared to make a move, they shouldn't expect to escape unscathed. Not a single person from the Heavenly Kingdom will leave the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm alive."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Hao flashed, his Kunpeng wings unfurled behind him, and he transformed into a golden lightning bolt, rushing into the void.

His speed was extreme; the wings of the Kunpeng pierced the sky, traversing hundreds of miles in all directions, like a wandering golden lightning bolt sweeping across every inch of space above the Burial City.

Not long after, muffled sounds came from the void.

Immediately afterwards, corpses fell from the void, some with their heads severed, some with their chests pierced, and some even split in two.

The faces of the corpses still bore the look of shock, as if they couldn't believe they had been found even in death.

Six corpses fell from the sky one after another, crashing onto the streets of the burial city, splattering patches of dark red blood.

Then, Shi Hao descended from the void, stood beside the pile of corpses, and threw the six heads on the ground, lining them up in a row.

Some of those heads still bore traces of lingering resentment and fear, clearly indicating that they were assassins planted by Heaven near the Burial City.

But Shi Hao's expression did not soften, because he knew that these people were just minor figures.

The real mastermind, Heaven's Number One Assassin, is no longer in this city.

"Boundary-Breaking Talisman..."

Han Li picked up a fragment of the remaining void fluctuations, sensed it carefully, and sighed, "He has already used the boundary-breaking talisman to escape, and he left before you rushed out of the sea of ​​fire. This person is extremely decisive. If he fails to hit you in one strike, he immediately flees far away. He really doesn't leave any chance."

Lin Dong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "This guy is much more cunning than that Blood Halberd. At least Blood Halberd dared to fight head-on, but this number one assassin is like an eel, slippery as can be."

Shi Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "He may escape the first day of the month, but he can't escape the fifteenth. As long as he is still in this Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, I will find a way to find him."

"What ambition! No wonder even a ten-time champion has to be wary of him..."

Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the void.

He was a tall, slender man with a pair of gray wings on his back. He had a prominent and imposing figure and exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. He was clearly no ordinary person.

He walked up to Shi Hao with a smile, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang is indeed incredibly brave and rare in this world. To be able to escape unscathed from the assassination attempt by the number one assassin of the Heavenly Kingdom, and even kill six experts of the Heavenly Kingdom, is truly admirable."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Shi Hao, seeing how polite the other party was, also greeted him politely: "And you are, sir?"

The man smiled slightly and introduced himself: "My name is Long Yu. I have come here on the instructions of my master, Jun Dao, to invite Fellow Daoist Huang to join the alliance."

"Jun Dao?"

Shi Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He wasn't familiar with the name, but Qingyi, who was standing to the side, changed her expression slightly upon hearing it.

She whispered to Shi Hao, "Jun Dao is a top-tier expert among the ancient freaks. Although his fame is not as great as Ning Chuan and the Ten-Crown King, he is still among the top ancient freaks. His strength is unfathomable. It is rumored that he has already touched the threshold of the Heavenly God Realm, but he has been suppressing his cultivation and waiting for the right opportunity to break through."

Feng Wu nodded in agreement: "I've heard of him too. He's an extremely low-key person, but every time he strikes, it's with overwhelming force, leaving no survivors. The fact that someone like him would send someone to invite you shows that he truly values ​​your strength."

Upon hearing Qingyi's words, Longyu's smile deepened: "Fellow Daoist Huang must have also realized that the situation in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is becoming increasingly complex. Many forces have already united. If we continue to fight alone, our situation will be extremely dangerous. Our alliance includes top experts like Jundao and Fallen God Child, who are about to take that step. If it weren't for their appreciation of Fellow Daoist Huang's strength, they wouldn't have invited us so easily."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao laughed dismissively: "I appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoist, but I already have allies, so there's no need for you to trouble yourselves."

Long Yu's brow twitched slightly: "Fellow Daoist Huang might want to reconsider the strength of the alliance..."

"No need."

Shi Hao interrupted him directly: "Go back and tell Jun Dao that I already have my own allies. Moreover, since he sincerely invited us, why didn't he come in person? Sending only a subordinate shows that he doesn't take us seriously."

Upon hearing Shi Hao's words, Long Yu's smile finally faded a bit.

He remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding and saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Huang has made his decision, I will not insist. Farewell..."

After saying that, he turned around and stepped into the void, disappearing into the hazy light of day.

Lin Dong looked in the direction where Long Yu had disappeared, and pursed his lips, saying, "That guy is quite polite, but his master, Jun Dao, sending a subordinate to try and win us over is really not sincere. If it were me, I would refuse too..."

Shi Hao withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Regardless of their sincerity, I have no interest in joining any alliance. I will walk my own path."
