Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 786: Slaying

"Asura, my master will arrive at any moment, and your death is unavoidable!" Yin Xinran shouted aloud.

Previously, Shi Hao had exposed his scheme, which he had flatly denied, not wanting Shi Hao to think of fleeing since the latter possessed mysterious means, seemingly capable of disappearing from the world out of thin air.

But now, he actively spoke the truth.

Why?

Because he did not want to die.

My master is about to arrive, you better run now, otherwise, you can indeed kill me, but you will also be too late to escape and will have to die alongside me.

Yin Xinran, of course, did not want to perish together with Shi Hao, so his intention was to scare Shi Hao away.

"Killing you before I go wouldn’t be too late," Shi Hao said with a smile, his attack remaining swift and fierce.

Damn it!

Yin Xinran cursed in his heart, can’t your damned heart be any smaller?

How do you know my master won’t appear in the next moment?

Even he did not know, so where did you get such confidence and assurance?

However, Shi Hao’s attacks were like a fierce storm, pressing him till he could barely catch his breath.

He had already exhausted all his strength, always hovering on the edge of life and death. Had he not also been a genius, desperately burning his Life Origin to sustain his bursts of power, he would have undoubtedly been killed by Shi Hao long ago.

But how long could he last while draining the pond to catch all the fish?

Bang!

No matter how much he resisted, he could not avoid being struck by Shi Hao in a vital spot, immediately retreating over a hundred yards, his body glowing with light.

His body was actually riddled with holes, only forcefully held together by him, which prevented it from falling apart. However, everything has its limit, and the strike from Shi Hao was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Yin Xinran stared intensely at Shi Hao, feeling utter despair in his heart. Why has my master not appeared yet?

"I’ll be waiting for you below—"

Boom, the word "you" had not left his lips when a burst of light exploded within him, resulting in a massive explosion, and his entire being crumbled into pieces, ceasing to exist.

Great Sacrificial Heaven, dead.

Shi Hao took a deep breath, not pausing for a moment, and sent out a palm, retrieving the Spatial Spirit Tool that Yin Xinran had dropped. Then, he rapidly moved towards the Teleportation Arrays.

"Stop." A voice came from the Teleportation Arrays, "This has been reserved exclusively, and it won’t be used by anyone else for half a month."

"Senior." Shi Hao said with a smile, "The person who reserved it has already been killed by yours truly. Since he is already dead, this reservation should also be voided, right?"

That was a Venerable Ascending to Saint Position, guarding such an important place as the Teleportation Arrays, naturally, it required someone powerful.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright."

It wasn’t that he agreed with Shi Hao’s words, but rather that this young man, who was an Asura and had killed the second Sacrificial Heaven talent Yin Xinran, might prove highly beneficial in the future by giving Shi Hao a favor now.

Shi Hao smiled lightly and asked, "May I know the honorable name of senior?"

Even though it was a favor, how could such a powerful individual at the Saintly Position demean himself by volunteering his name so openly and shamelessly?

Thus, Shi Hao took the initiative to ask, giving enough respect to the other party.

"Hehe, my surname is Duan, and my name is Hong," the Venerable at the Saintly Position chuckled. Though this junior was young, he was astute in handling matters, completely devoid of arrogance. His future prospects were truly limitless.

"Then, Senior Duan, I take my leave now," Shi Hao said.

"Go ahead."

Soon, the Teleportation Arrays lit up, and Shi Hao had disappeared.

But just moments later, a formidable aura swept through, and an elderly man soared through the sky.

"Xinran!" The elderly man came to an abrupt halt, sensing around and revealing a look of disbelief.

His disciple was dead!

How could that be? Asura was merely from the Supplementing Divine Temple, and moreover, when Yin Xinran had contacted him in the Great Void Realm, he made it clear that the other party was quite demonic, with a combat power comparable to a Great Sacrificial powerhouse.

This was indeed insanely impressive, but Yin Xinran had the combat power of three Great Sacrificial heavens, which should have been enough to instantly annihilate a one-sacrificial combatant.

It was just that Asura was too slippery and had mastered mysterious techniques, which was why he had repeatedly escaped from Yin Xinran’s clutches.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Asura to have killed his disciple.

What was going on?

The elder took action, grabbing several of the crowd who hadn’t dispersed yet.

Under his interrogation, the truth quickly emerged.

—Asura had ignited the Incense Flame, greatly enhancing his strength, and had actually counter-killed Yin Xinran.

This!

The elder was none other than Fu Fan, who simply couldn’t believe that just igniting the Incense Flame could confer the boost of two sacrifices?

Shit, were the ranking arrangements of the Supplementing Divine Temple and the Great Sacrificial Heaven reversed?

Otherwise, how could a lower realm’s small increase in level result in a combat power surge exceeding that of a higher realm’s two minor level enhancements?

Naturally, he wouldn’t think that Shi Hao had obtained the essence of the World Tree, a prized item that even people from the Immortal Realm specifically came searching for; if the enhancement wasn’t significant, it actually would have been irrational.

Fu Fan immediately rushed toward the Teleportation Arrays, shouting, "Since my disciple has booked this place, why did you let Asura leave?"

Duan Hong leapt forward, giving Fu Fan a glance: "I felt like it, are you going to do something about it?"

The person involved is already dead; even if you are his master, how do you have the right to question me?

We are equals in ascending to a Saintly Position, who fears whom?

Fu Fan grimly watched Duan Hong but showed no intention of starting a fight.

It was obvious that the other party had favored Asura, but starting a war over this would be a losing deal.

The priority was to hurry and catch up with Asura, to blast this guy to pieces.

Our ancestor was humiliated by Asura in the Great Void Realm, and now his disciple had been killed by this fellow; if Asura wasn’t brought to justice quickly, then the Shuanghua lineage might as well not bother showing their faces anymore.

They would be a laughingstock!

"I need to use the Teleportation Array," he declared sternly.

Duan Hong shook his head though: "Sorry, the Teleportation Array has been booked, and it’s unavailable for use for the next half month."

Freaking hell!

Fu Fan was nearly furious enough to spit blood, damn it, it’s my turn and you’re telling me it’s booked?

"Yin Xinran was my disciple; the Teleportation Array he booked, why can’t I use it?" he demanded sternly, acknowledging that starting a fight could last a long time.

Besides, this was someone else’s territory under the control of Heaven Building Ladder’s Almighty, and there was no need to show Venerable Shuanghua any respect.

Moreover, did Venerable Shuanghua even have any respect left to speak of?

Duan Hong shrugged: "You say you were his master, and so it is? With no proof of death, you can say whatever you want! You want to use the Teleportation Array? Prove you were his master first."

I am Yin Xinran’s master, what proof do I need and how can I prove it?

You yourself said it, the man is already dead!

Fu Fan knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so he forcibly suppressed his rage and turned to leave.

Obviously, he hadn’t given up on hunting down Shi Hao; this path was blocked, so he would use another Teleportation Array, taking a detour.

Even though this would take more time, it was better than wasting half a month waiting here.

With his methods, even if Shi Hao had a head start of a day or two, he still could track him down.

Asura, you’re dead meat!
