Chapter 388

"Why are you leaving!"

"How could we miss something so interesting?"

"Don't you see a group of dogs fighting over there?"

"Dogs fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but say to Hong Bagong, "I've told you so many times, don't just eat mushrooms you don't recognize."

When Hong Bagong heard this, he became stubborn again.

"Master, I've also told you many times, the mushrooms aren't poisonous."

Boom!

No sooner had Hong Bagong finished speaking than he heard a clap of thunder.

"No way? Is it going to rain?"

Everyone looked up at the sky in unison.

They discovered that the sky was cloudless, nothing but a vast expanse of blue.

"No, look over there."

Everyone followed the direction of a subordinate's finger.

Once they saw clearly, their mouths couldn't help but hang open.

At some point, a bright silver spear had been thrust into the ground not far away.

That spot had previously been occupied by the Purple Witch and some rabid wild dogs.

Now, there was nothing there.

Whoosh!

A figure came charging over at high speed.

He grabbed the spear stuck in the ground and lunged toward Chen Hao and the others.

Seeing this, Xiao Qian immediately shot out several white silk ribbons.

However, the guy kept waving the spear in his hand.

The sharp spear tip sliced across the silk ribbons.

Rip!

Rip!

All the silk ribbons were instantly shredded by the spear, turning into mere scraps of cloth.

"Die!"

The newcomer thrust the spear in his hand toward Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian couldn't dodge in time.

Just as it seemed Xiao Qian's body was about to be pierced by the spear in the guy's hand,

a golden protective shield appeared around her, shielding her.

Clang!

The spear hit the golden shield, producing the sound of metal colliding.

Chen Hao had acted, using [Divine Shield] to protect Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian knew she was no match for the man wielding the spear, so she turned and flew toward Chen Hao's side.

"Bright Silver Thunder Spear—Zhang Ren!"

Seeing the guy with the bright silver spear, Dong Yong couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh?"

Hearing Dong Yong's words, a strange look flashed in Zhang Ren's eyes.

"I didn't expect anyone to actually recognize me."

Dong Yong replied, "A figure as formidable as you, we naturally recognize."

"You were originally a deputy director of the Supernatural Bureau, but unfortunately, you were unwilling to collude with the director, so you were squeezed out at every turn."

"In a fit of rage, you skewered the director with a single shot of your spear and then joined the Scorpion Brigade."

It must be said, Dong Yong had done his homework well.

He had laid out Zhang Ren's background clearly.

"Not bad, I am indeed the one who skewered that disgusting guy."

"If heaven gave me another chance, I would definitely skewer him again without hesitation."

"I actually regret it a bit now; I wish I had skewered him sooner."

"Why? Is it because that guy was too disgusting?"

Zhang Ren shook his head.

"No, it's because I regret joining the Scorpion Brigade—I joined too late."

"If I could have joined earlier, perhaps my strength wouldn't be what it is today."

Zhang Ren's words left Dong Yong slightly stunned.

Dong Yong realized that the Zhang Ren before him was somewhat different from the one he knew.

The Zhang Ren he knew was originally an upright, incorruptible man.

Now, there was a faint trace of evil energy on him.

There was even a terrifying aura of dominance.

"Alright, enough nonsense with you people."

"I want to end this quickly. After I kill you all, I have to go back and continue my cultivation."

Saying this, Zhang Ren charged over with his Bright Silver Thunder Spear.

Boom!

Lightning crackled around his body, and the spear in his hand sliced through the void as he lunged at them.

Seeing this, Chen Hao flipped his right hand, and the Soul-Devouring Sword appeared in his grasp.

He met Zhang Ren head-on.

The two sides clashed, and the fight began.

Clang, clang, clatter!

In just a few minutes, they had exchanged no fewer than hundreds of blows.

Zhang Ren became more surprised the longer they fought.

"Kid, what's your deal?"

Zhang Ren discovered that not only was Chen Hao's swordsmanship strong, but he was also unafraid of lightning.

"What's this little bit of lightning worth?"

"Let me let you taste what real lightning is."

Chen Hao began to use his lightning ability.

Instantly, the entire sky became covered in dark clouds.

Rumble!

Rumbling!

The heavens changed color because of it.

Boom!

A very thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky. Sensing danger, Zhang Ren hurriedly dodged.

"This is... the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment!"

No sooner had Zhang Ren finished speaking than several more bolts of lightning fell from the sky.

He began to flee in a panic, constantly dodging the lightning attacks.

Seeing this, Chen Hao charged directly toward Zhang Ren.

"Bad!"

Zhang Ren braced his spear to fight.

Clang!

The Soul-Devouring Sword and the Bright Silver Thunder Spear collided.

Both sides were preparing to test their strength.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water barrel fell from the sky.

This time, it hit Zhang Ren squarely, without deviation.

"Ah~!"

Zhang Ren was numbed by the electricity and let out a painful wail.

His body had a certain resistance to lightning, but this was no ordinary mortal lightning; it was the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment.

Therefore, after being struck, Zhang Ren still suffered significant injuries.

Taking advantage of Zhang Ren's stiffened body,

Chen Hao thrust the Soul-Devouring Sword in his hand fiercely.

It pierced directly through Zhang Ren's chest.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Ren spat out a mouthful of blood.

He gritted his teeth.

Boom!

His entire body instantly turned into a streak of light, flying backward.

"Want to leave? Not a chance!"

Zhang Ren ran in front, and Chen Hao chased from behind.

When Chen Hao attacked Zhang Ren, he used [Power of Decay].

At this moment, the aura of decay was eroding Zhang Ren's body.

After flying for a distance, Zhang Ren's face turned as pale as paper.

His body swayed, and he nearly fell from the sky.

"You... what will it take for you to let me go?"

A flash of despair appeared in Zhang Ren's eyes as he looked at Chen Hao.

"Let you go? It's simple. Just give me a reason to let you go."

Hearing this, Zhang Ren bit his lip.

If he wanted to live, he naturally had to offer something.

But what could he offer?

Zhang Ren suddenly remembered the treasure map he had obtained a few days ago.

"I have a treasure map here; it might contain buried treasures."

"As long as you are willing to let me go, I will give the treasure map to you."

"A treasure map?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao smiled.

"If I kill you, won't the treasure map be mine anyway?"

"Impossible."

Zhang Ren held his spear against the treasure map.

"If you still want to deal with me, I'll destroy it rather than let it fall into your hands."

"Destroy it? Then go ahead and destroy it."

Chen Hao's indifferent attitude left Zhang Ren at a loss.

"Why? Don't you want it?"

"I want it, but if I kill you, I can still get it."

"What?"

"Don't you know there is a technique called the Soul-Searching Art?"

"Soul-Searching Art!!!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ren's eyes widened.

"How is that possible? How do you know this evil technique? Could it be that you are..."

"Alright, now you should think about what you can do to satisfy me."

Hearing this, Zhang Ren instantly deflated like a punctured ball.

"As long as you are willing to let me go, I'll do anything you want."

"Even if it's being your little cutie!"

Hearing this, the corner of Chen Hao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
