Chapter 90: Cutting off in two, a huge trap

"Xu Hao, you've cut off my path to survival and forced me to this point!"

"I want you to die. I want you to die in pain and despair!"

After swallowing the pill, Liu Chengmian roared madly with a murderous look on his face.

Originally, he could have won the favor of the eldest prince by dealing with Xu Hao, but Xu Hao did not die peacefully, and instead forced him to use the Netherworld Sect's Bloodthirst Pill.

Once you use the Blood Burst Pill, there will be no way to survive.

Even if he could defeat Xu Hao, he would die afterwards.

Therefore, Liu Chengmian is extremely resentful now.

On another part of the ring, Xu Hao curled his lips into a sneer.

If you take the pill, I will let you take it properly?

Your back swing is too long!

【Strength, defense, speed, strength! 】

【Qi and Blood Baking Furnace】

【break out】

【The heart moves as it pleases】

Almost in an instant, Xu Hao activated his own characteristics, and the next second, he took a step and rushed towards Liu Chengmian.

Whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Hao had arrived above Liu Chengmian.

"Come on, I already know your combat power, which can allow me to break through your defense. I will strangle you to death later!" Liu Chengmian laughed loudly, and at the same time activated his strength, covering the long sword, earth-grade armor and inner armor with all his strength.

Although Xu Hao was very powerful before, he could only barely break his defense, causing him to be seriously injured and unable to recover.

Although there were some cracks on the long sword and the armor, they were not damaged and could still withstand a blow.

Plus he has inner armor.

It was enough for him to survive the few breaths while the Blood Burst Pill took effect.

He is not afraid at all.

After all, the price of the Blood-Raging Pill is death. At this moment, Liu Chengmian has figured it out. For the sake of his future affairs, he will die together.

"Dragon-Tiger Soul-Breaking Sword, Secret Art, Tiger Roar and Dragon Shout!"

Xu Hao swung the long sword in his hand and delivered the most powerful blow he had ever made with his swordsmanship!
A flash of knife light seemed to pass through the entire arena.

Click.

Click.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of cracking sounds.

"Haha, you, you, you..." Liu Chengmian was about to say something, wanting to burst out and harvest, and ravage Xu Hao, but he felt that his own strength had completely disappeared.

It's like a stream without a source.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengmian saw the long sword in his hand shattered, his armor shifted sideways, his body tilted downward, and even his vision seemed to be divided into two parts.

"I am dead?"

"how is this possible?"

It was not until this moment that Liu Chengmian reacted, but then his eyes showed unwillingness and disbelief.

His sword, armor, and inner armor are all earth-grade treasures. Even among earth-grade treasures, they are the best among the best. Such equipment can block Xu Hao's original attack.

But why was it that after he swallowed the Blood-Swept Pill, even his originally intact inner armor was cut open in just a moment?

How could it possibly explode to such a strong degree?

But no matter how unwilling Liu Chengmian was, it was of no avail, because he had been torn into two and was completely dead.

boom.

Liu Chengmian's body fell on the ring, splashing a handful of blood.

There was silence all around.

"How is this possible?" After a long time, someone spoke, with a hint of disbelief in his words.

After all, Liu Chengmian was a strong man at the peak of the Earth Rank, and he was protected by Earth Rank armor. He had previously withstood several attacks from Xu Hao, but when he took out the Blood Burst Pill, they all thought that Liu Chengmian was going to kill everyone.

As a result, he was killed with one sword!
It completely overturned their cognition.

"Could it be that Xu Hao has been acting all along?"

"Of course he did. As soon as he saw Xu Hao take out the Blood Rage Pill and realized he couldn't afford to delay, he attacked. But Liu Chengmian was just standing there, letting himself be hacked. Did he really think Xu Hao couldn't break through his defenses just because he hadn't previously done so?"

"He died because of carelessness, what a pity."

"Ah, Xu Hao won, so my bet money is all gone, right?"

"Ahhh!"

The discussions around them also made the Ninth Princess and the First Prince on the platform react.

It’s just that their expressions are different.

The Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao showed a hint of surprise on her face, because she admitted that even she had made a mistake.

Xu Hao was more powerful than she had imagined.

Just from that knife strike, in her perception, it seemed to have reached the heavenly level.

In other words, even a Heavenly Rank expert could be killed by Xu Hao with one blow if he wasn't careful.

The key is that Xu Hao is still at the Earth level!
Even Tang Wan'er looked stunned.

She knew Xu Hao would win, but she never thought he would win so easily, with just one sword!
Directly beheading a powerful Earth-rank warrior wearing Earth-rank armor. In contrast to the shock on the faces of the Ninth Princess and Tang Wan'er, the eldest prince's face was tinged with blue and purple, looking extremely ugly.

He came here to watch, wanting to see the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao make a fool of herself, not to give her a position of real power.

Moreover, his men were actually killed by someone with a single sword after using the Netherworld Cult's Bloodthirst Pill.

The earth-grade long sword, earth-grade inner armor, and earth-grade general armor have all become mere decorations.

Even the eldest prince could imagine the blow to his dignity once the results of the flag-grabbing competition were known.

What does it mean to try to steal a chicken but end up losing a handful of rice?

That’s what it’s called!
This cannot be tolerated!
The moment the thought flashed through the eldest prince's mind, he stood up from his seat.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Upon seeing this, the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao immediately stood up.

Xu Hao is now in her faction and possesses such powerful strength. She will never allow the eldest prince to abuse his power to oppress others.

"Hmph!" The eldest prince turned his head and glanced at the ninth princess. He knew that his idea of ​​encircling and suppressing Xu Hao was unrealistic.

First of all, the Ninth Princess would not let it go.

Secondly, Xu Hao himself is extremely strong. If he cannot be killed instantly, it will have a huge impact on the future. After all, Xu Hao is now considered a fifth-rank captain!

Even as a prince, he could not execute such an official without any reason.

This will make the Daxuan Dynasty, which is already on the verge of sinking, even more precarious.

He took a deep breath and said to Xuan Qingxiao in a serious tone, "Haven't you always wanted the authority to command the Imperial Guard? I'll grant you this. Do you dare to take another gamble?"

At this moment, the eldest prince was like a gambler who had lost everything and wanted to seize every opportunity to turn the tables.

Because he knew that Xu Hao was growing too fast and was too strong. If he was left alone, and with the training of the Ninth Princess, he might really become a heavenly-level powerhouse.

Now he is unable to compete with the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao. If Xuan Qingxiao's strength increases again, then in order to stabilize the unrest in the entire territory, his father might really allow the Ninth Princess to be crowned.

The Ninth Princess frowned as she listened to the First Prince's words, becoming even more disappointed. However, she did not respond immediately. Instead, she said calmly, "This is not something I can decide. The position of Commander is not up to you alone. Besides, we haven't even asked the person involved for his opinion!"

"I agree!" On the stage, Xu Hao, who had been on guard against the eldest prince's desperate actions, immediately spoke loudly to express his feelings after hearing the words of the eldest prince and the ninth princess.

Is this a trap?

Definitely is!
And it is the result of the intensified struggle between the two factions.

In this situation, anyone who joins in may be doomed.

Xu Hao was somewhat grateful that the Ninth Princess still wanted to seek his opinion, but Xu Hao had no opinion at all.

Because Xu Hao wants to improve so much.

The depth and breadth of Xu Hao's fortune-telling search are related to his status.

The higher your status, the deeper and wider the search will be.

He was already a thousand households, a fifth-rank official, but further advancement would be extremely difficult. Not only did he need meritorious service, but he also needed to pass numerous assessments.

It can be said that his chances of promotion in the short term are extremely slim.

Moreover, as time goes by, the Great Xuan Dynasty may collapse at any time.

Now he has heard that other states and counties of the Great Xuan Dynasty no longer obey the management of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and many places have even changed their flags and no longer recognize the rule of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Always stay with me.

Now that he finally has such an opportunity, Xu Hao naturally has to seize it.

"Haha, good, very good!" The eldest prince turned his head to look at the ring, and seeing Xu Hao's eager expression, he said directly, "The ring competition will be held in a month. I hope you can still be so arrogant then!

let's go! "

The eldest prince smiled coldly and then walked away.

On the ring, Xu Hao heard the time given by the eldest prince and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

Originally, he wanted to discuss the conditions and postpone the time of the competition, but he didn't expect the eldest prince to directly say it would be a month later.

This is simply the roundworm in his stomach!

A month later, he reached the Heavenly Stage.

He is definitely going to be the commander of the imperial guards!

Below the ring, the white-robed strategist's expression changed, and he finally sighed helplessly.

Not only to Xu Hao, but also to his master, the eldest prince.

Because this is completely impulsive.

Being a commander of the imperial guards involves huge interests.

As a result, the eldest prince sent him away with just one sentence.

But now, if he wanted to kill Xu Hao, he had already lost the absolute advantage. Xu Hao was no longer someone who could be bullied. Judging from the strength of the sword that killed Liu Chengmian, even the strong men on the Earth List would find it difficult to defeat him easily.

"Forget it!" The white-robed strategist quickly called on a group of imperial guards to catch up with the angry eldest prince.

Seeing this, the other forces did not dare to stay any longer and left one after another.

But as they left, they all glanced at Xu Hao at the same time, and imprinted Xu Hao's face deeply in their minds.

Because from this moment on, a new star will rise completely in the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty and hang high in the sky.

On the high platform, the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao glanced deeply at Xu Hao, then turned to look at Tang Wan'er, "Next, you go and handle it!"

After saying this, the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao did not stay any longer and turned to leave.

"Yes!" Tang Wan'er bowed and clasped her fists. After waiting for the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao to leave, she quickly ran towards Xu Hao, who had already stepped off the stage, and asked in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Why did you agree to the fight challenge from the First Prince? Can't you see that this is a huge trap?"
