Chapter 278: Terror

However, just as they entered the jungle,

bursts of roars came from the depths of the valley.

This caused their expressions to change drastically.

At the same time, their figures came to a halt.

Simultaneously, the phantom of a black dragon appeared above their heads.

Its body spanned hundreds of feet, covering the firmament.

"Roar!"

A violent roar resounded through the mountain range.

Afterward, a jet-black tiger also appeared on the scene.

Its massive body stood in place.

It was like a small mountain.

This caused looks of fear to appear in the eyes of Hirona and the others.

How could this be an ordinary tiger?

"Awoo!"

Following that, a series of wolf howls also rang out.

Then, horses with single horns came galloping over.

They exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

This made the fear in the eyes of Hirona and the others even greater.

Especially after seeing the beautiful figure riding on the unicorn, their hearts were filled with dread.

This was Xiao Xia, the younger sister most doted upon by the Great Han Empire's Princess Xiao Zhi.

At this moment, she paid them no mind.

Leading the soldiers beside her, she charged toward the position of Xiao Hao and the others.

At this moment, the anger in her heart was almost uncontrollable.

Because these people were actually targeting Xiao Hao.

Her own eldest brother had fallen into the Chaos Ocean precisely because of these people.

Seeing Xiao Zhi leading a great army to kill them,

how could Hirona and the others hesitate?

Their figures flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Then, rapid footsteps rang out in the ears of Xiao Hao and the others.

"Bang!"

Then, a fist force struck.

It hit Xiao Hao directly on the shoulder.

This caused his body to be knocked flying.

"Thud!"

As the sound fell, Xiao Hao fell to the ground.

Although he had tried his best to control his strength,

facing a Saint King of the third rank, he still appeared inadequate.

Back when he parted ways with Xiao Zhi, he was only at the Martial Master realm.

In such a short time, he had broken through to the Spirit Wandering realm.

Yet now, he was simply unable to match the opponent.

"Hmph, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Hirona said coldly.

At this moment, bright red blood flowed from the corner of Xiao Hao's mouth.

However, his gaze remained resolute.

He said slowly:

"I will not go back with you.

My father will never abandon me.

Moreover, I must save the lives of Xiao Yao and Xiao Xia!"

As he spoke, he stood up again.

Just then, Hirona made her move.

A blazing red light emerged on her palm.

Then, she slapped down toward Xiao Hao.

Afterward, she said coldly:

"Do you think such lies can deceive His Majesty?

If you don't want to implicate others,

then obediently come back with me.

Otherwise, I will throw your corpse into the mountain stream.

Your parents will also be implicated!"

Her voice carried a threatening tone.

"Boom!"

Then, a blazing palm print condensed in the air.

It crushed down toward Xiao Hao.

At this moment, Xiao Hao felt as if he were suffocating.

The two sisters, Xiao Yao and Xiao Xia, could not help but close their eyes.

They did not want to see Xiao Hao's miserable death.

"Ang!"

However, just when they thought Xiao Hao was doomed,

a huge dragon roar rang out.

Then, ice and snow filled the sky.

The entire world was frozen in an instant.

Afterward, a massive dragon claw grabbed Hirona's neck.

Her face was filled with horror.

Because she discovered that the True Qi within her body had been frozen at some unknown time.

Not only that, but her body was also incredibly stiff.

Then, she was lifted into mid-air.

At this moment, she finally began to panic.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you to dare meddle in the affairs of the Han Emperor!"

Hirona's mouth let out an angry sound.

Upon hearing this, the Princess of Great Han laughed.

She said slowly:

"I am of Great Han.

The person you are looking for is me!

Moreover, you should know my temper.

If you dare to harm my younger brother or sister,

I will exterminate your entire clan!"

At this moment, Xiao Yao's face revealed a thick murderous aura.

Her voice was extremely cold.

This caused Hirona to tremble all over in fear.

But then, she shouted:

"I am the eldest princess of the Oscar Empire; you cannot kill me.

Otherwise, Great Han will surely be destroyed!"

Her voice carried a sinister tone.

At this moment, Xiao Yao said coldly:

"My eldest brother almost died in the Chaos Sea because of you people.

If you dare to bully Xiao Hao again,

my eldest brother will definitely not spare you!"

As she spoke, she flicked her finger lightly.

In an instant, a ball of flame bloomed in the air.

The scorching temperature made everyone around feel difficulty breathing.

The eldest princess of the Oscar Empire was terrified.

She could clearly feel how brutal that blazing flame was.

Under this strike, she would surely die.

Thinking of this, she dared not stay any longer.

Her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

He understood in his heart that Xiao Yao was saving him.

Seeing Hirona flee, the others did not relax.

After all, the secret of Xiao Hao's identity

would have serious consequences if it were spread.

Therefore, Xiao Hao could not care about much else.

He said to the people beside him:

"Let's go!"

Then, the group headed toward the distance.

This time, Xiao Hao prepared to head to the Eastern Wasteland.

After all, he had stayed outside the Eastern Wasteland for a long time.

This time, he had to go back and take a look.

If there was a chance, he would take Xiao Xia back.

If not, he prepared to return to the Divine Wood Star.

After all, that was where the people he cherished most were.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hirona had just left the city.

Her expression was incredibly ugly.

She had not expected that there would be such powerful people beside Xiao Hao.

This person was not only powerful in strength,

but also had astonishing combat awareness.

If she could not capture Xiao Hao, she feared she would be killed.

Therefore, she immediately said:

"Pursue them! At any cost, we must capture Xiao Hao!"

After her order was given,

the guards around her surrounded them.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

But at this moment, Xiao Hao had already entered the forest.

He was extremely fast, instantly turning into a streak of light and shooting into the distance.

"Stop them! Do not let him run away!"

Hirona shouted anxiously.

And just after her voice fell,

several soldiers blocked their path.

Each of these people had a cultivation that was not weak.

Especially the one in the lead, who was even more terrifying.

He was actually a Supreme of the second rank.

"Haha, none of you will leave today!"

Seeing this scene,

the leading soldier let out a sinister laugh.

Following that, he slashed out with his blade.
