Chapter 22: Did I say you could leave?

Sorry, it was my arrogance that got you hurt.

Hua Yao leaned against Su Hao's chest, her face full of apology as she spoke.

She had already understood that Ye Xiu and Ma Tao had come prepared, intending to rob everyone participating in the trade fair.

Now everyone has been affected by the Soft Bone Powder, even standing is a problem—how could we possibly be a match for those two?

Moreover, besides them there are more than ten Fallen Goblins and a Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior at their sides.

These are First Rank monsters; even if they were at peak condition, all they could do is run.

So, things have come to this point; the outcome is already decided—everyone has only a dead end.

It's fine!

Hearing Hua Yao's voice, Su Hao finally came back to his senses, smiling and shaking his head.

As for Ye Xiu and the others, he had never taken them to heart; his momentary lapse was because this segment of history differed from what he knew.

According to Su Hao's memories from his previous life, the Flower Spirit Elf Clan was under the protection of the Da Xiong Mao, living peacefully here for another year.

If the current timeline proceeds, in the hands of Ye Xiu and company, the Flower Spirit Elf Clan would have no chance of survival.

Could it be… that because I was reborn, the original timeline has been altered?

No, no, according to the original timeline, the Da Xiong Mao should also attend this trade fair; with his strength, he wouldn't fear Ye Xiu and the others.

The reason the Da Xiong Mao became involved with the Flower Spirit Elf Clan is likely because he repelled Ye Xiu and company at the trade fair.

Su Hao nodded, feeling this possibility was quite high.

However, saying he changed the original timeline is also not a problem.

First, the Da Xiong Mao stayed at Su Hao's sanctuary to guard home because he voluntarily offered himself, and did not come to this trade fair.

Second, in his previous life, the Da Xiong Mao merely repelled Ye Xiu and company, but did not kill them, giving them a chance to develop; eventually they too became a dominant power.

But Su Hao has no such intention!

Because of the sanctuary, Su Hao originally thought that if Ye Xiu came to buy his goods, he would give him some discounts, after all they share some fate.

But now, Su Hao has changed his mind.

Since Ye Xiu chose to act against me, he might as well stay here forever!

After clearing his thoughts, Su Hao's mouth curled slightly as he watched Ye Xiu and Ma Tao approach slowly, a faint smile appearing on his face.

You shouldn't have moved against me.

Not supposed to? Hahaha! Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!!

Hearing that, Ye Xiu blinked slightly, then broke into a wild grin.

Do you want to hear what you're saying? Even if you're a superhuman, after my Soft Bone Powder you're just trash.

Ah, no, even if you weren't poisoned, you couldn't be our match—you're a superhuman, we are too, and we are three superhumans; what gives you the right to fight me?!

Ye Xiu and Ma Tao exchanged a glance, their steps unabated, following behind the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior as they walked toward Su Hao.

Although they were confident that Su Hao, affected by the Soft Bone Powder, could pose no threat to them.

But daring to commit robbery in the apocalypse, whether in courage or mindset, surpasses ordinary people; even with absolute confidence, they remained vigilant.

Unfortunately, the person they provoked is Su Hao, one of the strongest First Rank superhumans in the present world!

Poisoned? Your little bit of stuff can even be called poison?

Su Hao smirked, blood-red flames igniting on his body; in less than a second, the Soft Bone Powder inside him was incinerated by the Blood Flame Technique.

The Azure Jade Snake Venom that once afflicted the Da Xiong Mao was far stronger than this Soft Bone Powder; the Blood Flame Technique could cleanse the Azure Jade Snake Venom, so clearing the Soft Bone Powder is no problem at all.

Uh-oh! His Soft Bone Powder has been dispelled!

The Soft Bone Powder was created and released by Ye Xiu using his own superhuman ability; now that it has vanished from Su Hao's body, he naturally noticed.

He hastily pulled Ma Tao back a step, his gaze wary as he looked at Su Hao.

Strike first!

Ma Tao's face turned cold as he mobilized his mental energy, lightly shaking the bell in his hand twice.

The 'ding-dang' sound rang out; the more than twenty Fallen Goblins nearby had their blood surge, veins bulging, muscles slightly swelling, and they sprinted toward Su Hao at a speed far beyond ordinary goblins.

At the same time, Ye Xiu's palm swept across the axe of the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior, leaving a line of green blood on the blade, imparting a deadly poison that kills on contact.

Fearless struggle.

Watching Ye Xiu and Ma Tao's actions, Su Hao shook his head and smiled, then with a 'bada' sound lightly snapped his fingers.

Boom!

As Su Hao's thought moved, the more than twenty goblins charging forward suddenly felt their hearts and brains swell intensely.

Then with a 'puff' sound, a large influx of blood rushed into their brains, bursting their heads; dark red, thick blood spurted from their seven orifices, dyeing their heads crimson.

At the same time, their hearts were likewise burst by the same method, flooded with blood.

Without brains and hearts, even if mutated goblins had enhanced vitality, they would certainly have no chance to survive.

Holy crap! We've hit a tough spot—let the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior cover our retreat!

Seeing more than twenty goblins drop dead after just taking a step, Ye Xiu felt something was wrong; he hastily tossed a green pill, creating a green smoke screen, grabbed Ma Tao's arm, and ran toward the village entrance.

Ye Xiu realized that Su Hao could kill over twenty goblins from that distance with such ease; killing them would be no great difficulty either.

Damn it! I will definitely reclaim this place!

Ma Tao also understood this; for his own life, he couldn't afford to feel sorry.

A large amount of mental energy surged into the bell in his hand, detonating this Supernatural Bell; all the superhuman power it contained flowed into the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior.

After receiving this superhuman power, the Heavy Armor Goblin Warrior's size increased by half, and its strength greatly rose.

Did I say you could leave?

Regarding Ye Xiu and company's actions, Su Hao remained calm, again making a 'bada' sound as he lightly snapped his fingers.

Blood Flame Technique!

The next moment.

Whether it was the heavy-armored goblin warrior charging at Su Hao, or Ye Xiu and Ma Tao fleeing toward the village entrance, the blood inside their bodies was ignited by Blood Flame.

Scorching blood-red flames spewed from their seven upper apertures, two lower apertures, and all the pores over their bodies, instantly burning their hair and clothing to ashes.

"Spare, spare our lives, big boss spare our lives, we were wrong……"

"It's that we have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai; as long as you spare, spare our lives, we'll do anything you ask……"

Under the scorching of Blood Flame, whether it was the heavy-armored goblin warrior or Ye Xiu and Ma Tao, they all painfully knelt on the ground, emitting waves of wails.

"I originally didn't want to kill you, but……"

Su Hao shook his head and smiled, with no intention of stopping.

Since the other side chose to attack, they are Su Hao's enemies; and since they are enemies, how could Su Hao possibly be soft-hearted?

In his previous life, having survived over a year in the apocalypse, Su Hao had long grown accustomed to the wickedness of human nature; being lenient with enemies would only harm himself in the end.

Therefore, Su Hao's principle toward enemies has always been to kill them outright, giving them no chance to turn the tables!!
