Chapter 369: The Merman Assassin

As blood drained away, the merman assassin realized its strength was slowly fading.

Its speed grew slower and slower.

Before, it had been able to suppress Chen Hao, but now, it was being countered by him.

Chen Hao was fully focused.

After a few moves, he finally caught the weakness of the merman assassin leader.

The sharp dagger thrust toward the merman assassin leader.

Just as Chen Hao's dagger was about to strike the merman assassin leader.

Chen Hao suddenly felt his head spin.

"Someone is ambushing!"

Chen Hao was startled; he turned his head and discovered a merman priest holding a staff standing not far away.

That guy had used a mental shock on him.

"Good thing, good thing, good thing I obtained the mental resistance ability."

"Otherwise, I reckon I would have collapsed on the ground from that hit."

The merman assassin leader took the opportunity to retreat, putting distance between itself and Chen Hao.

The merman priest raised the staff in its hand.

It drew a circle on the ground, and suddenly a blue magic array appeared out of thin air.

"It's a teleportation array!"

This thing, Chen Hao had only seen in books before; he hadn't expected it to be real.

The merman assassin leader looked at Chen Hao, its eyes full of mockery.

And a trace of hatred.

It planned to cultivate diligently after returning this time.

And then avenge today's grudge.

"Want to leave? Not a chance!"

Chen Hao lunged at the merman priest.

At the very moment the teleportation array was about to activate, Chen Hao's sharp dagger slashed across the merman priest's scepter.

The sharp dagger cleanly severed the merman priest's scepter.

The teleportation array lost its energy supply and stopped.

"Halt, monster, take my finger."

Lu Xiaoji took the opportunity to use the Chrysanthemum Finger to ambush the merman priest.

The merman priest took a hit from the Chrysanthemum Finger.

As the pain hit, the merman priest let out a painful wail.

It crouched down on the spot.

To catch the bandits, first catch the king; Chen Hao lunged at the merman priest.

He intended to kill the merman priest first.

But he was blocked by the merman assassin leader.

The battle between the two sides erupted once again.

Chen Hao and the merman assassin leader fought further and further away.

Lu Xiaoji looked at the merman priest crouching on the ground, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly to reveal a cold sneer.

He then walked toward the merman priest.

The merman assassin leader was now at the end of its rope.

Its battle with Chen Hao ended very quickly.

Chen Hao's sharp dagger stabbed into the merman assassin leader's chest.

The dagger gave a fierce twist.

The merman assassin leader fell straight down.

Looking at the merman assassin leader's corpse on the ground, Chen Hao directly activated his Corpse Concealment Technique.

He sucked it dry into a mummy.

"I didn't expect the merman assassin leader's body to contain so much energy."

Chen Hao couldn't help but feel expectant about what was to come.

He hoped more powerful magical beasts would come.

That way, his strength could be further improved.

After dealing with the merman assassin leader, Chen Hao returned to the camp.

As soon as he approached, he heard a series of slapping sounds.

"What's the situation?"

Chen Hao discovered a group of people gathered not far away.

He walked over.

He discovered that Lu Xiaoji was holding a leather whip in his hand.

That leather whip was whipping the merman priest's body incessantly.

The merman priest was being whipped and screaming repeatedly.

"So satisfying!"

Lu Xiaoji handed the whip in his hand to Lu Xiaobu.

"Xiaobu, you come and enjoy it too."

"Alright."

Lu Xiaobu also began to whip it.

Chen Hao walked over; he took a look at the merman priest, which had more air going out than coming in.

He was somewhat surprised.

How did Lu Xiaoji and the others manage to capture the merman priest?

Lu Xiaoji seemed to see Chen Hao's confusion and explained: "The energy inside the merman priest is too little."

"The spells it can use are limited."

"Just now it ambushed Brother Hao, and then it used the teleportation array."

"The energy in its body is exhausted."

"So it was easily subdued by us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao nodded.

"Alright, stop hitting it, give it a quick end."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, Lu Xiaobu stopped.

Chen Hao condensed a fireball in his right hand and threw it toward the merman priest.

The fireball landed on the merman priest's body.

The flames instantly engulfed the merman priest's body.

The merman priest was beaten to its last breath, and the flames scorched its body.

It didn't even groan once.

It left very quietly.

After dealing with the merman priest, Chen Hao looked at Feng Yucheng and said: "How are the casualties tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yucheng revealed a painful expression.

"Thirty-two people."

Although Feng Yucheng was sad, he still braced himself and said: "From the moment we enlisted."

"We were prepared to sacrifice ourselves."

Feng Yucheng's words made Chen Hao feel a sense of awe.

"These guys are truly the most lovable people."

Unknowingly, the sky began to brighten.

A fish-belly white appeared on the horizon.

A new day had begun, but everyone was not very happy.
