I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"Awesome, this is just right for me!"

Xu Hao glanced at the defeated Cui family forces, but he didn't want to be the first to act. Instead, he explored the surroundings, looking for red-named enemies to hunt down.

Meanwhile, he also retreated towards the core defensive area of ​​the Cui family.

Whoosh.

Xu Hao's crossbow bolts continued to fire.

Crossbows might be less effective at hunting martial artists, but they are invariably successful at hunting ordinary members of the Longevity Cult.

You have killed a valuable creature and gained 32 experience points!

"Not bad, although there aren't many, the sheer quantity makes up for it!"

Xu Hao fired his crossbow bolts continuously.

Soon, as the Cui family warriors on the periphery fled, everyone headed towards the core area of ​​the Cui family.

boom.

A loud explosion resounded, followed by flames shooting into the sky.

"What? The core area of ​​the Cui family has also been breached?"

The many martial artists who had just fled here were stunned as they stared at the burning buildings.

It's understandable that there were traitors among them, since they were all temporary employees of the Cui family, and it's possible that some spies had infiltrated.

But the core of the Cui family consists of warriors loyal to the Cui family; if they can betray them, then so be it.

"What should we do?" one of the martial artists asked, bewildered.

There are obstacles blocking the way ahead and pursuers behind.

They can't even tell who's on their side anymore.

"Let's all use our own methods and run away!" Someone shouted, and the crowd immediately exchanged glances before scattering in a chaotic manner.

The main problem is that there are too many undercover agents. If we're not careful, we can be ambushed, which makes it impossible for people to trust each other and form an effective counterattack.

Without these, all the hired warriors would be a disorganized mess.

"Damn it!" Xu Hao looked at the crowd scattering and fleeing, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.

He originally intended to use the strength of everyone to defeat monsters and level up.

As a result, my hometown was robbed!

Xu Hao looked at the numerous red names in the core area of ​​the Cui family and sighed, resigned to his fate.

He is strong, but not strong enough to single-handedly turn the tide of battle.

Xu Hao glanced at the group, who had lost all will to fight, and then quickly ran towards the dock.

He cannot be trapped here; otherwise, let alone reaching thirty in multi-dimensional attributes, even a true fourth-level martial artist would likely perish in the Northwest.

He can only pray that the Cui family doesn't fall into ruin because of this, otherwise he would lose everything after just receiving their financial support!

Soon, Xu Hao spotted a small boat.

Nowadays, large ships are the focus of the Eternal Life Cult's attention, while small ships like these are fast and not easy to spot, making them ideal vehicles for escape.

"This is what I saw!" A second-stage martial artist shouted as he saw Xu Hao rushing towards a small boat, and at the same time threw a punch at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao turned his head, his face grim.

The boat wasn't big, but it could still carry many people. Was it because it thought its young age made it easy to bully?

Should we kick him out?

Xu Hao's expression changed, but he was quickly overjoyed.

Because in his eyes, the name of the person who roared had changed from white to red.

Those who are hostile to him, those who harbor murderous intent, will become valuable beings.

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while you insist on coming to hell when there is no way out!" Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao took a step forward and threw a punch at the second-stage martial artist.

"You're courting death!" The second-level warrior's face contorted with rage.

In his eyes, Xu Hao's blood and energy were not vigorous, and coupled with his young face, he didn't think much of it and just regarded it as crushing an ant.

Moreover, in this urgent situation, he had no time to think about anything else and just wanted to escape this place as soon as possible.

So, without even thinking, he slapped Xu Hao across the face when Xu Hao's fist came flying.

boom.

Xu Hao's fist collided violently with the palm of the second-level martial artist.

At first, the second-level martial artist wanted to escape as soon as possible, but the moment the fist and palm collided, he regretted it.

As endless power poured in, he felt as if his palms were being crushed by a mountain.

Click.

The sound of bones breaking echoed through the night.

Immediately afterwards, the second-stage martial artist couldn't withstand Xu Hao's power and was sent flying backward.

Even while still in the air, a sultry heat surged in the throat of the second-level martial artist.

"Tiger Fist, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey!"

Xu Hao threw a punch, then immediately used the Swift Wind Step to rush to the body of the flying second-level martial artist in an instant, and then threw another punch.

"No..." Amidst the despairing gaze of the second-stage martial artist, Xu Hao's fist slammed down.

boom.

The second-stage warrior's body folded in half.

He simply couldn't believe that the person he randomly encountered was several times stronger than him.

They kicked a hornet's nest.

If given another chance, he certainly wouldn't be as arrogant as before.

There's no going back in life.

[You have killed a valuable creature and gained 2,000 experience points!]

Your rank has been increased, and you have gained free attribute points!

"Alright!" Xu Hao finished off the second-level martial artist with two punches. He glanced around out of the corner of his eye and then jumped onto the small boat.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao immediately started rowing, roughly estimated the direction of Qinghe County, and quickly left.

I thought I could earn a lot of experience points this time, but the Cui family seemed to be in complete control and full of confidence, with even Miss Cui personally overseeing things.

Xu Hao thought the result was a sure thing.

In the end, it turned out to be such a complete defeat.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Xu Hao took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all distractions, and then quietly left under the cover of night.

With the help of game cheats, Xu Hao could clearly see the status of red-named players from a great distance. In addition, being a fisherman by birth, he could move his small boat with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, he escaped the encirclement of the Longevity Cult.

But we are still not out of danger.

Many large ships belonging to the Changsheng Sect sped towards the surrounding waters, forming an even larger encirclement.

Clearly, the Longevity Cult wants to devour the entire Cui family's fishpond in one fell swoop.

With this kind of situation, even if the Qinghe County government came to provide support, it would be difficult to achieve any results in a short period of time.

There are simply too many traitors and spies in Cui's fishpond.

"This time, the Cui family is probably in trouble!" Xu Hao turned his head and looked at the Cui family's fishpond, which was ablaze with fire, and shook his head.

One tree cannot support a forest; he alone cannot change the outcome. Even if he were to join the fight, he would only be another soul lost.

"Miss Cui, thank you for gifting me the Swift Step. I'll avenge you once I've greatly increased my strength!"

Xu Hao increased the speed of his slide.

The night grew increasingly dark.

But here at Cui's fishpond, the lights were on full display.

Xu Hao steered the small boat, weaving left and right, and with the help of the game panel's display function, finally escaped the Blackwater Swamp.

Not far away is the Blackwater River!

However, at the entrance and exit, there were several large ships with lanterns hanging on them moored.

Meanwhile, red names were everywhere in the cabins and on the deck.

"They're trying to wipe out the Cui family and all the martial artists they employ!" Xu Hao's eyes flickered. After a moment of contemplation, he quietly moored his small boat in a reed bed and waited patiently.

He's all alone, and it's the dead of winter; it'll be hard for him to get out. He'll have to wait for help.
