Chapter 62

A silver car slowly moved forward.

Inside the car, there were two people and a dog.

After driving for a while, Li Hao felt somewhat restless and agitated. He took a deep breath and said while driving, "Teacher, if Qiao Peng is also there, then his driver will be there too. What if I can't handle it?"

In Li Hao's eyes, Qiao Peng's driver was a formidable existence at the Full Moon level.

Breaking through the hundred and reaching perfection!

Of course, the driver was invited to attend the banquet at the Inspection Office today, but what if he arrived late, or didn't come at all... who knows?

Anyway, Li Hao didn't ask if the driver was there, and if his luck was bad, he might encounter him.

Yuan Shuo, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, "You have also broken through the hundred, practiced the Five Animals Technique and the Nine Forges Strength. Even if you can't win, you won't be killed instantly! If you fight with all your might, you can wear him down! Black Panther has some strength too. If you cooperate well, you won't die so quickly."

His words were somewhat harsh.

Not dying so quickly.

Clearly, Yuan Shuo had considered the possibility of Li Hao encountering the driver, but he still brought Li Hao along.

Li Hao remained silent.

Yuan Shuo said calmly, "A fledgling eagle must eventually spread its wings. With the sword in your hand, I'm not afraid of you getting seriously injured; you can recover. What I fear is that you lack the courage. As a martial artist, this is unacceptable."

"As my last disciple, challenging a stronger opponent is not something I force you to do. However, at the very least, you should be able to hold your ground for a while and not die. You are both at the breakthrough hundred level, and the difference is merely in physical attributes. The opponent doesn't have the 'momentum,' but you do. Why be afraid of him?"

He believed that Yuan Shuo didn't need to be afraid.

There was no need!

"Remember, 'momentum' is the martial artist's trump card! With momentum, a thousand can challenge the Sun. You must understand that you are not an ordinary breakthrough hundred. As long as your mind is not in chaos, no problem is insurmountable. I even look forward to you encountering the opponent!"

There was only anticipation, no worry.

Li Hao smiled, "Teacher, I'm a novice... you're not afraid I'll die?"

"If you really die... it's your fate!"

Yuan Shuo said solemnly, "I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever. The opponent, though at the Full Moon level, is not much stronger than you in my eyes. Such an opponent is one I hope you will encounter."

"Understood!"

With a thud, as soon as Li Hao finished speaking, Yuan Shuo's body trembled slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Li Hao took a deep breath, "I'm a bit nervous, Teacher. It's nothing, probably just hit the curb, no big deal."

After speaking, Li Hao started the car again.

Driving is something you get better at with practice; it's not difficult. It's just that this was the first time he was driving the teacher's car, so it felt a bit awkward.

He continued driving on the empty road.

Tonight was very quiet.

Yincheng had a curfew at 8 PM, and except for some people with special status, no one was allowed to go out. The people of Yincheng were quite law-abiding, especially in a small place where there wasn't much entertainment at night. Plus, there had been an incident recently, so there was no one on the streets.

At this moment, a tall building was already in sight.

Qiao Family Mining!

The neon lights flickered, illuminating the surroundings.

Yuan Shuo clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Was he under pressure?

A bit.

Fighting a Thousand against Three Suns...

The first time he fought a Three Sun, it was a complete ambush, feigning weakness to gain the upper hand.

This was the second time. Everyone knew that Yuan Shuo had killed a Three Sun. At this moment, he might be able to ambush, but he couldn't feign weakness anymore. No one would believe that Yuan Shuo lacked strength.

When Qiao Feilong realizes it's me, Yuan Shuo, he won't be careless and won't hide his true strength.

But... am I afraid?

No!

Never afraid!

Just a bit cautious, a bit serious, but absolutely no fear.

As a martial artist for decades, Yuan Shuo had experienced at least a hundred battles, if not more.

What qualifications does Qiao Feilong have to compare with me?

His fists slowly relaxed.

In front, Li Hao suggested, "Teacher, when we get there, what if I pretend to hit their building? Maybe Qiao Feilong will come down, and we can ambush him..."

Yuan Shuo ignored him.

Was Li Hao's suggestion reasonable?

A bit.

But... too many coincidences seemed a bit forced.

If the opponent were under 30, Yuan Shuo would be willing to try.

However, Qiao Feilong was an old fox who had been in business for decades.

So coincidentally, Li Hao's car just hit their building tonight?

And coincidentally, Liu Long followed Li Hao to the mine yesterday?

For Qiao Feilong, one coincidence is possible, two coincidences are acceptable, but the third... it's no longer a coincidence!

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Li Hao kept talking, really thinking it was a good idea.

Accidentally hitting their building, and the building's owner just happens to be there, and the ones who hit the building are Li Hao and Yuan Shuo. Should Qiao Feilong come down to check?

Say hello?

At that moment, meet with a smile, and then quickly stab him. Wouldn't that be an advantage?

Li Hao thought it was a great plan.

Yuan Shuo's voice was calm, "Drive the car. Relying solely on cunning is not the right path! Besides... don't underestimate your teacher. I've had the stone knife for many days, and I've been at the peak of the breakthrough hundred for decades. Do you think your teacher hasn't improved at all in the past ten days?"

Li Hao became serious and stopped talking.

On the passenger seat, Black Panther lay still, as if sensing the killing intent in the air.

...

At the top of Qiao Family Mining.

Qiao Feilong stood by the window, looking down. He could vaguely see the silver car slowly approaching, but it wasn't very clear.

At this moment, Qiao Feilong felt somewhat uneasy.

What did he forget?

Or what was about to happen?

The car below... seemed familiar.

Tonight was curfew, and the only ones who could drive on the road at this time should be the extraordinary beings attending the banquet.

At this time... the banquet was about to start.

Who is it?

Yuan Shuo!

He remembered, it should be Yuan Shuo.

"Martial artist..."

He muttered, martial artists sometimes have many disadvantages, but sometimes they are uniquely favored. For example, now, he could only guess and judge, but couldn't sense the presence of the opponent.

Because the opponent didn't have mystic energy, only internal strength.

Internal strength is contained within the body and is extremely difficult to detect.

In the past, Yuan Shuo didn't pay much attention. A martial artist at the breakthrough hundred and perfection level was powerful, but... that's all.

But when Yuan Shuo fought a Thousand and killed a Three Sun, he remembered this person firmly.

Perhaps, he would have more contact with the opponent, even a confrontation.

He had also thought about how to deal with Yuan Shuo if he were his hypothetical enemy.

He wanted to deal with Li Hao, even kill Li Hao, and Yuan Shuo might be a hurdle he had to overcome.

Just as he was thinking, he was slightly distracted and suddenly noticed something. He felt something was off.

...

At the same time.

Below.

Li Hao looked at his watch, "8:45..."

Li Hao spoke.

At 8:45, he would make the first move, and one minute later, the people outside the city would act.

Because the fight here would be relatively quiet, even if two top-tier beings fought, the news wouldn't spread quickly. However, outside the city, Liu Long and his team had a lot of firearms.

If the people outside the city acted first, it would cause a big commotion and draw Qiao Feilong's attention.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shuo, like an ape, moved incredibly fast and instantly drilled out of the car window.

The small car window left no trace as Yuan Shuo exited.

Li Hao didn't stop the car; he just looked back.

At this moment, in the darkness, under the neon lights, a shadow shot up into the sky.

Yuan Shuo, like a large bird, leaped into the air, rising at least a hundred meters. The building was about that tall, a 30-story building, roughly a hundred meters high.

Li Hao was amazed.

The last time the teacher leaped, it was only about ten meters, maybe he didn't use his full strength. But this time, the leap directly rose a hundred meters, clearly showing his much greater strength.

The soaring Yuan Shuo moved at an incredible speed, and at this moment, he seemed to see a pair of eyes.

And the owner of those eyes also saw him.

Through the window, Qiao Feilong's eyes were cold, somewhat shocked, and also somewhat relieved.

He's here for me!

Yuan Shuo has come!

At this moment, a flame rose from his body, with a sense of gravity and solemnity. He didn't know how he was exposed, but when Yuan Shuo leaped into the air, he knew the battle was inevitable.

Even, it could only end in death.

He didn't know how much Yuan Shuo knew, or why Yuan Shuo was so sure he was hiding his strength. But years of business experience kept Qiao Feilong calm despite his shock.

A flame sword instantly appeared.

At this moment, one person slashed the sword out the window, and the flame illuminated the night.

One person punched from outside the window.

There was no polite exchange... that was a joke.

Both had one goal: to kill the other.

The window didn't even shatter; it was instantly melted by the flame. The flame sword cut through the darkness.

Yuan Shuo's fist glowed faintly, and the punch didn't look like a punch but more like a sword.

The collision of two swords!

Silently, all the glass on the floor shattered instantly, and the floor under Qiao Feilong's feet cracked and burned.

Fist and sword collided!

Only when Qiao Feilong took a small step back and Yuan Shuo spun in the air did the sound spread out.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Several loud explosions, countless glass shards shattered, and the entire top floor seemed to be hit by numerous shells, leaving it pitted and uneven.

All the desks and chairs were shattered.

Qiao Feilong took a step back, didn't look down, and coughed softly. Blood dripped from his hand.

His eyes were filled with surprise, confusion, and a hint of shock.

Can a Thousand really break through the defense of a Three Sun?

He felt that he didn't show any defensive strength, and his fire energy defense was directly broken by the opponent's punch, which shook his bones.

Is this a Thousand?

No, this is just Yuan Shuo. A Thousand... shouldn't be this strong.

He thought for just a moment.

Outside the window, Yuan Shuo, like a large bird, instantly turned back.

The next moment, a tiger's roar shook the earth.

"Roar!"

This was a true tiger. At this moment, anyone who saw or heard him felt like they saw a fierce tiger descending from the mountains.

This was the true Tiger Fighting Technique!

The tiger's roar shook the sky, and with a loud boom, the floor collapsed. Yuan Shuo punched again, and with a loud thud, Qiao Feilong was punched into the ground, breaking through the floor and falling from the top floor.

Yuan Shuo stepped into the building.

At this moment, he was like a reborn god or demon.

"Old Qiao, is this all a Three Sun can do?"

Yuan Shuo stomped his foot, and the floor shattered, turning into countless pieces that flew out like deadly weapons.

The next moment, a flame sword silently slashed through the ground!

Pfft!

A light sound, and the entire floor was cut in half, burning even the concrete and steel.

Yuan Shuo moved incredibly fast, disappearing instantly.

Reappearing, he pressed down like a black bear, and with a loud thud, he stepped through the top floor, appearing on the next level.

In the smoke, a red flame sword slashed again.

Qiao Feilong didn't respond, didn't say anything, and didn't ask anything.

There was no need!

Killing Yuan Shuo would end everything.

He was more concerned about where Hailian Chuan was.

Yes, was Hailian Chuan also part of Yuan Shuo's ambush?

Or did Hailian Chuan go outside the city?

He was worried, but no matter what, Yuan Shuo had to be dealt with.

The flame instantly turned into a sea of fire.

A mountain of blades and a sea of fire!

At this moment, the entire building was illuminated, burning with flames.

Fire energy!

"Flawed and superficial!"

Yuan Shuo's face was cold. At this moment, he was truly the old demon Yuan.

I only have these fists!

The fists that killed countless martial artists in the past, the fists that killed countless extraordinary beings in the early days of their rise, until his fists weren't hard enough, and he became a grandson, hiding in Yincheng to retire.

But now, these fists are hard again!

"Kill!"

Like a demon, like a beast.

A punch sent the sea of fire into turmoil.

His divine will erupted, and his momentum made him an invincible land god.

At this moment, he forcefully extinguished the sea of fire with a punch, and with a loud thud, he sent Qiao Feilong flying from the center of the fire.

Qiao Feilong was shocked!

His mind was shaken!

Is this Yuan Shuo?

He actually couldn't match Yuan Shuo, really couldn't.

In terms of skills, killing aura, and divine will, he was inferior. The only thing he was stronger in was his powerful extraordinary energy, which prevented his defeat.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

A fire dragon appeared under Qiao Feilong's feet, and he floated into the air. Clenching his teeth, countless flames shot out again. This time, the flames were even stronger, and with a loud boom, the floor of this level was burned through.

The two fought in the air, and the battle instantly erupted.

Qiao Feilong didn't respond, didn't say anything, and didn't ask anything.

There was no need!

Killing Yuan Shuo would end everything.

He was more concerned about where Hailian Chuan was.

Yes, was Hailian Chuan also part of Yuan Shuo's ambush?

Or did Hailian Chuan go outside the city?

He was worried, but no matter what, Yuan Shuo had to be dealt with.

The flame instantly turned into a sea of fire.

A mountain of blades and a sea of fire!

At this moment, the entire building was illuminated, burning with flames.

Fire energy!

"Flawed and superficial!"

Yuan Shuo's face was cold. At this moment, he was truly the old demon Yuan.

Like a demon, like a beast.

A punch sent the sea of fire into turmoil.

His divine will erupted, and his momentum made him an invincible land god.

At this moment, he forcefully extinguished the sea of fire with a punch, and with a loud thud, he sent Qiao Feilong flying from the center of the fire.

Qiao Feilong was shocked!

His mind was
