Chapter 276

However, in the end, he did not stay.

Because he knew he was no match for her.

Then, he left.

Hao's mother apologized to Hao,

"Hao, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let you come find him.

You should go!"

At this moment, she also understood in her heart that her son probably wouldn't want to leave.

After all, what she had done was somewhat cruel.

"Mom, don't worry, you've suffered these past few years.

From now on, I will protect you and Father."

Hao said earnestly.

Then, under his mother's expectant gaze, he walked toward the door.

And just as they stepped out of the courtyard,

"You are coming with me right now.

I will send you away. I know you can't bear to leave your parents.

But they are bad people, I won't allow you to stay here!"

Cynthia said again.

Over these years, she had doted on Hao very much.

But Hao's mother had been harsh on him, hoping he would succeed.

If it weren't for the fact that Hao's father had been taking care of them all these years,

she would have driven him out long ago.

"No, I won't go!"

Hao said stubbornly.

Then, he walked forward.

"Bang!"

Just at this moment, Cynthia slapped him on the shoulder.

In an instant, he fell limply to the ground.

Then, his eyes closed.

Hao's mother also fainted on the spot.

At this moment, the entire scene was incredibly quiet.

Hao's father widened his eyes.

A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

He had not expected things to evolve to this extent.

"Hao!"

At this moment, he could not care about anything else.

He leaped forward, arrived at Hao's side, and picked up his body.

Then, he fled toward the outside.

A look of determination appeared in his eyes.

Because he knew that if Hao died, he wouldn't survive either.

However, when he arrived outside the castle,

a squad of fully armed soldiers blocked their path.

The leading general, with a face full of whiskers, was none other than Cynthia's younger brother, Shiros.

"Father, hand over Hao, otherwise today will be your death anniversary.

I want to kill him to avenge my brother."

His voice was filled with malice.

Clearly, this General Shiros did not hold his sister in high regard.

"Little brother, you should leave quickly.

This is the Shiro Empire's royal family, you cannot afford to provoke them!"

Hao's father advised Hao.

"Haha, no one is leaving.

Today I will avenge my older brother and make them pay with their lives!"

Shiros shouted without hesitation.

Then, hundreds of elite cavalry behind him surrounded them.

These cavalrymen radiated waves of murderous aura.

Upon seeing this scene,

a look of anxiety appeared on Hao's father's face.

He didn't know what to do.

"Bang!"

But before he could finish thinking,

a sharp sword pierced through his chest.

Blood flowed, and a look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

But immediately after, he stopped breathing.

Seeing this scene, a sense of sorrow could not help but rise in Hao's heart.

However, he did not hesitate in the slightest at this moment.

"We will definitely be able to escape, trust me!"

He said, clenching his fists.

"Okay!"

May and Ash nodded.

Although they didn't know where Hao got his confidence,

they trusted him.

Then, the group prepared to leave.

And just at this moment,

"Clop, clop, clop!"

The sound of hooves rang out.

It turned out that Cynthia had chased them out.

At this moment, a Flaming Lion stood beside her.

Its eyes revealed a fierce light.

She shouted at Hao and the others,

"Where else do you want to run? Die!"

As her voice fell, her body actually radiated scorching flames.

This caused the surrounding temperature to rise significantly.

"Awoo!"

At this moment, the Flaming Lion roared toward the sky.

Then, it extended its giant claws.

Wherever it passed, the air was scorched and burst apart.

Hao wanted to dodge, but he couldn't move at all.

He watched helplessly as the Flaming Lion's attack descended.

"Boom!"

A scorching gale swept out, and Hao could only barely dodge.

However, he was still severely injured.

"Swish!"

Hao spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the look of determination in his eyes became even more intense.

"Hehe, boy, let's see how long you can hold out.

This Flaming Lion is a mount I spent a great price to cultivate.

Every time I use it, it consumes months of my spirit stones.

Now, you are dead!"

Cynthia said coldly.

There was no need for her to participate in such a battle.

Upon hearing this, blood trickled from the corner of Hao's mouth.

He felt his whole body burning hot, as if he were on fire.

"You want to know my strength?

Now, I will show you!"

As he spoke, Hao slowly extended his right hand.

Then, a mysterious ripple spread out.

"Boom!"

Instantly, thunder rumbled in the sky.

Then, a mass of dark clouds covered the entire void.

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye.

The guards were all stunned.

"Rumble!"

Following this, endless lightning fell like raindrops.

All the soldiers became incredibly wretched.

"Ah!"

Shrill screams rang out.

The bodies of these soldiers were submerged in an instant.

They couldn't even find their corpses.

And the system's voice rang out in Hao's mind at this moment.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 200,000 Merit Points!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,200,000 Experience Points!"

After hearing the voice in his mind, Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he looked at May and the others and said,

"I will take you away from here.

This place is not somewhere we can stay!"

His voice was filled with a hint of gravity.

Hao understood that if they didn't leave during the chaos, it would be very difficult to escape.

And just after his words fell,

Hao took a step forward and charged toward the distance.

"Hmph, you still dare to resist!"
