The Legend of Hao Tian

ch. 38 mysterious men

" me? You don't need to know that, anyway it's not the time for introductions." The man was seen wearing the same clothes as the person Hao Tian faced earlier but what distinguished him was that he did not wear a mask or something covering his face.

The man looks thirty years old and has a scar on one of his cheeks.

" Yes I think what you said is true, but I think you should ask my name."

" What is that for? I don't think that's important." Then the man started to pull out his sword inside his spatial ring. The sword had a length in general but had a blade that was pitch-black on both sides.

" You're wrong, I think that's important. So you know the name of the man who will kill you."

" Ha ha ha, you're good at talking nonsense as well as it turns out. But it's not necessary, because I won't die at the hands of a boy. But I agree about what you said to know the name that will kill us, so I'll tell you my name because I'll kill you."

" It's not necessary, because I won't die." Hao Tian slowly inserted the sword he was wearing earlier into the space ring and took out the full moon sword.

' I felt something bad when I met this man, where did this feeling come from? But that's not what I have to pay attention to right now, just focus on what's ahead and don't be rash to take action.' Hao Tian said in his heart.

" I'm Huo Lei, remember that name because it's the name of the person who will kill you." Instantly he started moving and carried out a swift slash attack towards Hao Tian.

Huo Lei's attack that was so fast made Hao Tian not see his movements that it made him unprepared for the attack that was hurtling towards him. Yet Hao Tian made the minimum possible movement to fend off the attack.

Hao Tian raised his sword to protect his neck, yet it was not enough.

Klang's!

Huo Lei's slash made a metallic sound that clashed extremely loudly. From that slash Hao Tian managed to catch it but he was thrown several meters away and hit the tree behind him.

" Ugh."

' Very quickly, his attack was invisible. Whatever the strength of this man, his strength was immense just for a simple slash. Damnit damnit! My hands and feet are limp, my body doesn't stop shaking. Calm down, pay more attention to the details of his movements.' Hao Tian could only whine in his heart.

" Oh, you're great too. In the face of a force greater than you does not make you despair, it is very I like. I like the tenacity of the weak, let's move on."

' I didn't expect this man to be a 9-star master swordsman, was the strength of a 9-star master swordsman this strong? I must use a trick to defeat him, if I use pure power then it will be my defeat.'

Hao Tian then took out the same pouch he had once used - a bag of powder that could create fog and cause impaired vision. And threw him along with a knife to tear the bag so that the powder would come out.

Hao Tian's plan then succeeded, the pouch was ripped open by a knife and began to emit a mist that began to cover the surroundings of the vision.

' Successful, now.' yet he continued his plan to the next stage, there came the sound of Huo Lei from behind Hao Tian.

" Quite ingenious, but less precise to the man who made the powder."

Hearing that gave Hao Tian goosebumps, he instantly slashed towards the back. But before Hao Tian's sword hit Huo Lei, Huo Lei had already launched an attack first by kicking Hao Tian's waist and pounding it with a crushing blow.

" Aargh."

Hao Tian was thrown back and landed first his back on the ground.

' Fuckin' shit! This guy is really strong, a single kick makes my waist hurt like this, as if my organs are moving. The usual way will not be sustainable to him. I have to use another way.' Hao Tian slowly started to get up and tried to stand up.

" Ha ha you're alive, I thought you fainted boy. Nice work! Entertain me again I want more."

" Look down, I won't let you down."

Hao Tian then mounted the horses and prepared to launch an attack.

" The sword of the full moon, the twin moonlight." Hao Tian immediately shot towards Huo Lei.

" Your style is unique and powerful yet it becomes useless because it is used by a useless person like you, boy."

" Silence!" Hao Tian then again launched numerous attacks but Huo Lei also overcame them easily.

Huo Lei fended off Hao Tian's attacks one by one.

Klang Klang Klang

The sound of metal clashing again continuously and made shock waves created around them as their two swords clashed.

" The sword of the full moon, the hollow moon."

" Twin phoenix."

The two attacks collided and made a shockwave larger than before and both were pushed. However, what distinguished Huo Lei was pushed in a standing state while Hao Tian was thrown down to the ground in a supine state and looked as if a little blood came out of his mouth.

" I didn't expect that you would still be able to survive this move, at least most of the people would die fighting this move. So it can be a matter of pride for you."

" I'm sorry to interrupt but I don't think I need that." Hao Tian slowly got up again and again stood up even though his legs started to tremble a little.

" That's great, show me that determination again. Not to mention that look, I really like it. I wanted those eyes so badly, eyes filled with determination and conviction, zeal, and persistence. I wanted it so much, when I saw it it made me stop being eager to destroy all that determination and persistence. I'd really like to have it and take those two eyes and save it in my collection."

Huo Lei took out a water bottle made of glass, seen the bottle was in addition to containing water there were also dozens of eyes stored in it.

Seeing this made Hao Tian even more goosebumps and a little frightened. " You're a crazy man."

" Ha ha ha I am indeed like this, I am happy so like this so you don't have to worry about me. The way I appreciate my opponent is to take his eyes and put them in this water bottle and then I'll drink the water from that bottle. It tastes very good not inferior to the very expensive and classy liquor. So die! Die for my happiness, boy."

Huo Lei again dashed towards Hao Tian and intended to re-launch the attack.

" I'm sorry, I don't intend to please a madman like you."

They returned to fighting swords continuously and did not feel that dozens of their moves had been issued. The result Hao Tian was filled with kebab wounds and his lips began to bleed. Not only was his body also visibly injured from his legs, thighs and head not even a little bit from the wound it also started to bleed. He was now lying on the ground helpless.

But instead Huo Lei still looked fine. Although there were some scratches on his clothes and body but it was not as much as Hao Tian had. Although he was a little bored but he was still able to stand even though he was helped to use his sword to support his body.

" I didn't expect that you would be so stubborn. If only you weren't stubborn and happy I killed, then you wouldn't be this miserable."

" If you're worried about your pavilion then I don't think it's necessary because I've sent my men to destroy the wall and certainly don't forget our main goal is to capture Huo Yu and Huo Xiuying. So rest in peace."

" A.what do you mean?" There was the sound of Hao Tian being smaller than usual.

" I said I'd take care of your pavilion so you could die peacefully."

But hearing that did not make Hao Tian so much calmer even angered him and he began to try to stand up again even though he was a little staggering.

" Where is anyone who wants something he loves entrusted to a madman like you."

Hao Tian inserted the full moon sword and took out a sword that looked black in his grasp and had a pair of extremely sharp and shiny blades accompanied by having small straight lines in black and white in the second part of the bar.

' What's going on? Suddenly the aura of this boy became even more terrifying than before. When he swapped his sword the first time I also felt the same but now it is stronger than that. Does he have a sword stronger than before? Though I think the sword before was already very strong but the sword he put out right now has a higher level. I must be sure that the two swords are an heirloom, I think I can get a bonus if I manage to kill this child. This kid's full of surprises.' Said Huo Lei in his heart as he watched Hao Tian.

" Thank you in advance for giving me that information that makes me excited again. So, can we start round two?"
