Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 772: The Gunner

This makes a lot of sense.

Not dumb at all.

Shi Hao knew that he must have been set up by someone else, but it was a misunderstanding he couldn’t explain.

In the Great Void Realm, communications could be completely anonymous, like the trading of the September Fruit earlier; Shi Hao still didn’t know what that enchanting man was called.

Of course, he had absolutely no interest in finding out.

He gave a faint smile, "I won’t disturb your meal any longer."

Having said that, he left the private room.

He would have to get Yue Feifei to investigate who she was in contact with and why they wanted to trap him.

But the other party had clearly described the appearance of the Return Origin Fruit, so at the very least, they must have seen the fruit before.

You see, the Return Origin Fruit is extremely rare; seeing it generally means that the person or their power holds such a Spirit Fruit in their hands.

However, no sooner had he stepped out of the restaurant’s main entrance than he saw that all the young dandies from the private room had also run out.

"Kid, you think you can just run away?" the man in green brocade huffed, "You never even asked around to find out who I, Gu Shantong, am."

Shi Hao sighed and said, "I disturbed you first indeed. I was indeed rash, but I have already made my greetings. Do you still need to be so aggressive?"

"So what?" Gu Shantong sneered, "You disrupted my pleasure, there’s no way you’re leaving so easily! Kneel down and apologize sincerely!"

Shi Hao raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of a smile, "Are you insisting on making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"Yo, you’re even threatening Young Master Gu now!" Another youth spoke up, dressed in red, striding towards Shi Hao, "Let me wake you up!"

Boom, he struck out with his palm, aiming a blow at Shi Hao’s face.

Slap!

There was a crisp sound, but it was Shi Hao who moved first, his hand landing on the face of the youth in red with such force that his head spun around on his neck more than a dozen times.

Bones and skin, they couldn’t withstand so many rotations, and they snapped abruptly.

A head fell to the ground and rolled a few times before coming to a stop, still wearing a sneer, with a newly formed expression of shock and fear.

Hiss!

The whole place fell deadly silent.

This person’s actions were vicious, not only taking a life but doing so in such a domineering manner.

"You, you, you—" Gu Shantong pointed at Shi Hao, his expression fierce yet filled with inner fear. His strength was about the same as the red-dressed youth, so if he were to face Shi Hao, he too would not escape a fatal blow.

The key point was, the scene just now was horrific, with the head spinning on the neck and then falling off. Just thinking about it was the stuff of nightmares.

"You are dead meat!" Gu Shantong finally managed to finish his sentence. After all, he was a son of the Gu Family, how could he afford to lose face?

Shi Hao snorted. Having already begun killing, did he care about taking one more life?

Boom, he swung his fist, and with one hit, Gu Shantong instantly disintegrated into a shower of blood.

"How dare you!" At that moment, a furious roar came from afar, and then a man was seen soaring over, astonishingly fast, covering the distance towards Shi Hao in just a few bounds.

This was a man who appeared to be in his thirties, bearing some resemblance to Gu Shantong, but his strength was certainly not something Gu Shantong could match.

Supplementing Divine Temple.

"You dare kill my brother!" the man said grimly, bristling with murderous intent.

Shi Hao shrugged his shoulders. "He’s already dead. What’s the point of such nonsense talk?"

"Good! Good!" The man sneered twice, "Not only will you pay with your life, but I will also make sure you won’t die easily. Instead, you’ll taste the greatest pain in this human world!"

By this time, the street had already gathered many spectators, all pointing and discussing animatedly.

"This person has some nerve, to actually kill Gu Shantong."

"Doesn’t he know he’s the younger brother of Gu Jianyun?"

"Although Gu Shantong is a wastrel, his brother is a super genius. Having joined the Four Waters Sect, his future prospects are boundless. It’s all but certain he’ll become part of the Great Sacrificial Heaven, and he might even have hope of Ascending to the Saintly Position."

"So this young man is just too foolish! It’s said that even a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake, yet not only has he stirred up trouble, but he’s also antagonized Gu Jianyun."

Gu Jianyun then let out a loud cry and charged towards Shi Hao.

He wanted to capture this madman and then use the most brutal methods—

Bang!

With a loud noise, Gu Jianyun saw an iron fist coming his way, and then he suddenly lost consciousness.

All around, the crowd was chilled with fear.

What did they see?

Gu Jianyun was blown to pieces by a punch, his entire being turning into a blood mist.

My God, that was Gu Jianyun, the genius of the Supplementing Divine Temple, with a chance to become an Almighty being in the future.

Looking at Shi Hao again, everyone showed a look of awe.

This young man was too powerful.

Shi Hao turned to leave, needing to quickly enter the Great Void Realm and figure out just what was going on.

Even though the Gu brothers had it coming, Shi Hao was hardly willing to be used by others as a pawn.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Gu Family had not yet reacted, Shi Hao had already gone far away.

It was then that he started to learn more about the Gu Family.

They were an eight-star force, with a member who has Ascended to the Saintly Position. Gu Jianyun was the most talented among the younger generation of the Gu Family and was highly regarded by the Gu family’s elder ancestor. He was sent early to cultivate in the Four Waters Sect—a Nine Stars force—and Gu Jianyun was taken as a disciple by a Heaven Connecting Road powerhouse.

Getting more information from Yue Feifei, the one in contact with her was a man calling himself "Xiao Bai." However, in the Great Void Realm, anything could be disguised, so essentially, there were no clues at all.

In his heart, Shi Hao had a conjecture: This Xiao Bai deliberately lured him to Gu Shantong’s gathering, and given Gu Shantong’s dissolute ways, a conflict with him would be inevitable, and in such a conflict, killing him would be quite normal.

Because Xiao Bai had once mentioned offhandedly that he didn’t deal with anyone below the Founding King Court.

Gu Shantong was merely at the Soul Nurturing level, so how long would it take for the Founding King Court to want to kill someone at the Soul Nurturing level?

Gu Jianyun had already been running fast but was completely unable to prevent Gu Shantong’s death.

So, Xiao Bai wanted to use Shi Hao as a knife to kill Gu Shantong. As for what happened to Shi Hao afterward, whether Gu Jianyun killed him or captured him, Xiao Bai didn’t care at all, as there was no way to expose him.

Unexpectedly, Shi Hao was too fierce and even killed Gu Jianyun. This had escalated into a major incident.

Shi Hao had to find this Xiao Bai.

Not only was he unwilling to be used by others, but there was also the matter of the Return Origin Fruit!

The problem was, the Great Void Realm was just too effective for hiding identities; how was he supposed to find Xiao Bai?

Firstly, this person must have a grudge against Gu Shantong to be willing to use Shi Hao to strike.

However, when Shi Hao looked into Gu Shantong’s enemies, he was gnashing his teeth.

What’s the signature trait of a wastrel? Causing trouble everywhere.

Gu Shantong’s enemies could be said to be everywhere, and speaking of motives alone, at least half the people in the city were suspects.

F*ck me sideways.
