Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Suppression

If Shi Hao had been an official disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, Zhang Hao would not have dared to do this.

As disciples of the same sect, bullying someone like this would definitely result in severe punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall.

But the key point was, Shi Hao was not a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, but merely a minor follower, so what was there for Zhang Hao to worry about?

Of course, generally speaking, no one would take such action overstepping their bounds; after all, even if a follower made a mistake, naturally there would be a master to punish him. Zhang Hao’s approach really showed no respect for Cao Feiyan.

Why then did he still do it?

One reason was that he considered himself the foremost among the Core Disciples and naturally had to secure order; on the other hand, he harbored ambitions towards Cao Feiyan and Yin Cui’er, and naturally could not tolerate other men beside Cao Feiyan.

Upon receiving this ultimatum, Shi Hao merely smiled and casually tossed it aside, not taking it to heart at all.

But Zhang Hao did not let it go so easily.

Seeing that Shi Hao had made no move, Zhang Hao personally came to settle scores the very next day.

All along the way, numerous disciples followed him.

In the crowd, Shi Hao was at two extremes, adored by women while men were extremely jealous of him.

Thus, knowing of Zhang Hao’s intention to find trouble with Shi Hao, many disciples voluntarily followed to witness with their own eyes the pitiful sight of Shi Hao being defeated.

That would be satisfying.

Soon, Zhang Hao arrived outside Cao Feiyan’s separate courtyard.

“Shi Hao, come out!” he called out solemnly, his voice not loud yet thunderously reverberating.

Swoosh, Shi Hao did not appear, but it was Cao Feiyan who charged out with her sword drawn.

“Zhang Hao, what is the meaning of this?” Cao Feiyan’s beautiful face turned fierce, cold as frost.

This was her residence, after all.

Zhang Hao simply smiled lightly, “I issued a final warning to your follower yesterday, instructing him to kneel and reflect at the sect gate from today onwards, yet he did not comply, so I specifically came to escort him.”

“Zhang Hao, what wrong has my follower committed? Moreover, even if he has, do you need to intervene?” Cao Feiyan said coldly.

“Humph, your follower has tarnished the reputation of our Zhenwu Sect, I was merely letting him kneel for three days, which was already giving you face,” Zhang Hao said. “He’s not a disciple of our sect, so even if I kill him, so what?”

“Zhang Hao, you’ve gone too far!” Cao Feiyan raged, thrusting her sword towards Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao, of course, was unafraid, his palms gathering forceful energy, and he countered her attack.

Both were at the same realm, ninth step, and moreover, both were Core Disciples with closely matched strength, but Zhang Hao was just a notch superior, truly living up to his reputation as the top Core Disciple.

Therefore, after exchanging over a hundred moves, Zhang Hao managed to push Cao Feiyan back with a hit, and the victor was decided.

“Junior sister, you are no match for me; it’s better not to disgrace yourself,” Zhang Hao snorted, the jealousy in his heart burning more fiercely.

After all, Cao Feiyan was famously beautiful and never showed partiality to anyone, yet now, she was fighting him for Shi Hao, how could this not provoke his jealousy?

Cao Feiyan standing with her sword: “Without my permission, if you wish to enter my residence, you’ll have to step over my corpse!”

That statement was heavy.

Zhang Hao could oppress Shi Hao but could not do the same to Cao Feiyan because both were Core Disciples, and the sect absolutely did not permit them to fight to the death.

What to do?

Zhang Hao frowned, not expecting Cao Feiyan to protect Shi Hao to this extent.

“Eh, what’s going on here, such a big scene,” just then, Shi Hao leisurely walked out.

Everyone was speechless; the two best among the Core Disciples had been fighting over you for half a day, and you remained oblivious?

Truly infuriating!

“Shi Hao, you’ve got some nerve,” Zhang Hao immediately pointed his gun at Shi Hao and spoke menacingly. “I told you to kneel at the gate today, why have you not moved yet?”

“Who are you?” Shi Hao asked, his face full of bewilderment. “The Emperor? I really don’t know where you picked up such annoying habits.”

How dare he scold a Core Disciple?

It should be noted that there’s a world of difference between ordinary disciples and Core Disciples, let alone Shi Hao, who was merely a mere Follower.

Zhang Hao’s face darkened involuntarily as he strode toward Shi Hao. “Boy, you are far too arrogant!”

Cao Feiyan wanted to intervene, but seeing that Shi Hao had already met him head-on, she thought better of it and did not make a move.

Not only was Shi Hao’s strength not weaker than hers, but it even made her feel apprehensive, so he was indeed well-matched with Zhang Hao.

“Arrogant or not, you need not meddle in my business,” Shi Hao said indifferently.

“Humph, the arrogant ones will inevitably reap what they sow!” Zhang Hao had already charged up to Shi Hao and immediately slapped toward him.

Bang!

Shi Hao countered with a punch, and amid the loud crash, both men staggered several steps backward.

What!

The crowd was utterly shocked, their eyes staring at Shi Hao as if they had seen a ghost.

They knew well that Shi Hao’s cultivation was only Six Steps when tested, and it had only been a few days, so it’s certain that there wouldn’t have been any improvement in his cultivation.

Thus it was terrifying.

Six Steps against Nine Steps, and even against the strongest among the Core Disciples, Zhang Hao, yet he managed to hold his own. How frightening was this?

How many small realms had he crossed?

Unmatched in his own class, he could be called a prodigy; fighting across one level is the standard for Core Disciples, but now Shi Hao had almost crossed four levels, equivalent to the strength of a revered disciple of cultivation, the kind that rarely appears once in decades.

Even the Zhenwu Sect hadn’t seen such a genius, and the current revered disciple Hong Taihe could only cross over three minor levels tops.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Hao’s murderous intent grew.

Today, since he had openly challenged Shi Hao and acquired a deep grudge, reconciliation was impossible; therefore, if he didn’t eliminate Shi Hao today, what if Shi Hao later advanced to the Other Shore or even to Self-Observation?

Would Shi Hao spare his life? Could he have any means to defend himself?

None!

Moreover, would the sect seriously punish such a prodigy if he killed someone?

No, too monstrous. Perhaps he could elevate Zhenwu Sect to a new level. Then, the sect’s leaders would cherish him, fulfilling any requirement he desired.

So, it would be better to eliminate the threat while he had the chance.

He leapt forward, silent, yet his hands turned pitch-black.

He too possessed an Exotic Spirit Root, even a rarer Poison Spirit Root, and though it was less direct in combat than a Thunder Spirit Root, just a touch could be bone-eroding and heart-corroding, instantly deadly.

With a whoosh, he attacked Shi Hao, a palm strike that didn’t need to connect; the emitted odor alone carried a potent dizziness effect.

Shi Hao grunted, his fist blazed with intense flames, immediately turning the poison to ashes.

He unfolded the Eight Extremes Fist to counterattack Zhang Hao.

Bang bang bang, fists and palms collided, incredibly fierce.

To everyone’s shock, Zhang Hao was actually being suppressed by Shi Hao.

Heaven!
