Chapter 147 Pulling and Pulling (Bonus Chapter This Weekend)
The next day,
Although Lu Hao had been in the underground cave for quite some time, he still wasn't used to the cave's time-space system.
There's no sunrise or sunset at all; it just gets light in the blink of an eye and dark in the blink of an eye, with no sunrise or sunset.
After waking up, Lu Hao and the other two began to explore the situation in the forest in front of them.
Thanks to Lu Hao's tireless efforts, after a morning of investigation, he finally figured out what was going on inside.
There was a cave in the middle of the forest. Inside, Lu Hao sensed two sixth-grade auras, which were on par with his own. He estimated they were two mid-stage sixth-grade cultivators, which relieved Lu Hao.
The current situation is alright; there aren't three sixth-rank officials as I had imagined, but the number of fourth and fifth-rank officials is rather large.
It seems that with the energy mines behind them, these two monsters are rapidly expanding their population.
"Lu Hao, what's going on in the woods?"
Upon seeing Lu Hao return, Qin Fengqing quickly asked, as the situation inside was crucial to their subsequent operations.
"Fortunately, there are fewer Rank 6 monsters than expected. There are only two that are probably mid-Rank 6, which means there are more Rank 5 and 6 monsters. As for the mine, I didn't find any. They must have been taken over by the demonic beasts. I'll go deal with those two Rank 6 monsters. You two, kill the Rank 4 and 5 demonic beasts and then come help me, how about that?"
"Alright, but Lu Hao, can your combat strength withstand the attacks of two Rank 6 warriors?"
Wang Jinyang asked with a worried expression, after all, those were two sixth-grade warriors, and at the mid-stage, and with the added defense of the demonic beasts, they were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary mid-stage sixth-grade warriors.
"Don't worry, I won't be arrogant. Just hurry up and kill those fourth and fifth-rank officials, then come and help me," Lu Hao said.
After the three of them discussed their plan, they prepared to take action and sneaked into the forest.
"cut!"
Lu Hao struck first, letting out a loud shout as his blade slashed down, destroying everything in its path with its thick aura of blood and energy.
He chopped down into the hole below.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, who were standing nearby, were also startled by this attack. Although they knew that Lu Hao had reached the fifth rank and had even killed a sixth rank person while at the peak of the fourth rank, they were still shocked.
However, this attack still shocked the two of them; they could roughly estimate that its power exceeded 3000.
The card exploded.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing shock.
After all, a burst of 3000 calories is quite powerful. Even some weaker peak sixth-rank cultivators would only have that much combat strength, while Lu Hao is currently only at the low fifth-rank.
If one reaches the sixth rank, it's likely that even a newly entered sixth rank would be able to fight against a martial artist whose essence and blood have merged.
",roar!"
The underground monsters didn't hesitate. As their blood energy arrived, the two mid-level sixth-grade monsters, resembling large dogs, roared and joined forces to block Lu Hao's blade.
They rushed out at the same time and immediately saw Lu Hao in mid-air. The two Jizo dogs attacked Lu Hao.
Lu Hao was naturally not afraid, but in order to give Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang enough space to kill, Lu Hao took a few steps back and turned around.
The two Dizang dogs angrily chased after Lu Hao when he tried to run away.
After chasing for some distance, Lu Hao stopped fleeing and turned to attack the Earth Dog.
With a single slash, he caught the two Earth Dogs off guard, but they still managed to block it. The individual power of these demonic beasts was not as great as Lu Hao's, but when they joined forces, they were stronger than him.
Lu Hao also needed to stall for time. As long as he could hold off one of Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang after they succeeded, he could naturally solve the problem.
So Lu Hao wasn't in a hurry. He just kept slashing away, slowly wearing down his opponent. In any case, neither of them could defeat the other right now.
Just be careful not to get attacked by them. If the Jizo dog tries to leave, he won't let it go.
Meanwhile, the Jizo dogs on the opposite side were furious. They had been peacefully sleeping and reproducing at home.
Suddenly, he was attacked by the two-legged beast in front of him.
They finally caught up with the two-legged creature, but their attacks couldn't hit it, and they couldn't even leave.
If they could speak, they would roar, "You two-legged creatures over there, if you're so capable, let us hit you!"
Unfortunately, they didn't have much wisdom and mostly relied on instinct.
Demonic beasts can only develop intelligence at the seventh rank. Their extremely high spiritual power means that their intelligence at the seventh rank is comparable to that of ordinary humans, especially with the condensation of their brain cores, which further enhances their intelligence.
On the other side, after seeing Lu Hao lure away the two sixth-grade Dizang dogs, Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, who were hiding behind the small slope, made their move.
"Quickly kill these fourth and fifth-rank soldiers, then go help Lu Hao," Wang Jinyang said to Qin Fengqing as he watched the fourth and fifth-rank soldiers rush out. He then took a step forward and slashed at a fifth-rank soldier.
Although his control over qi and blood wasn't as high as Lu Hao's, it was still about halfway there, and with the jade-like transformation of his bone marrow...
Therefore, dealing with ordinary fifth-rank opponents is no problem for him now, and he can even hold off sixth-rank opponents for a long time.
"Nine swords combined into one! Slash!"
Wang Jinyang shouted and unleashed his ultimate move at the fifth-grade Earthly Dog. He couldn't yet achieve true limitless blood and qi, but with the jade-like transformation of his bone marrow and the external projection of the spiritual power from the sunflower seeds, he was still able to achieve this.
He now has a recovery ability similar to a sixth-rank cultivator, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the consumption of his qi and blood. Killing him as soon as possible is the right thing to do.
With a single, decisive move, a silver blade flashed across the sky, instantly beheading the fifth-rank Earth Hound on the opposite side.
Qin Fengqing, standing to the side, was not to be outdone. Having just mastered a special move and unleashing his spiritual power, his strength was not to be underestimated.
As Wang Jinyang unleashed his power, so did he, instantly killing the two fourth-rank Dizang dogs.
Meanwhile, Lu Hao heard the sound of blood and qi exploding from the side, and he knew that Wang Jinyang and Qin Fengqing had made their move. So he knew he had to keep those two Earth Dogs with him.
If they were to go back to provide support, or if they were to run away, it would be a huge loss for him. He only has a little over 10,000 kill points left, and these two Dizang dogs would be just enough to make up a little over 10,000 kill points.
Lu Hao estimated that he would need nearly 70,000 to 80,000 killing points to go from the low level of the fifth rank to the peak of the fifth rank, or even break through to the sixth rank.
You need to use 70,000 to 80,000 killing points to temper your internal organs, meridians, and flesh. After that, breaking through to the sixth rank will be relatively easy, and you can directly unleash your strongest attack, with one strike revealing three jiaos.
Lu Hao stopped thinking about it. Seeing the two Jizo dogs in front of him trying to go back to provide support, Lu Hao slashed out with his sword, forcing them to stop and return to defense. Otherwise, if they took the hit head-on, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die. "Roar!"
Seeing Lu Hao continue to entangle the two beasts, the Earthly Beast roared and attacked Lu Hao. Since Lu Hao insisted on blocking them, they would just deal with Lu Hao first.
