C2 Saving His Maid

Lin Hao stood up slowly and looked at the two servants with a calm expression.

The man, who spoke just now, snorted loudly when he noticed that Lin Hao didn't reply, and said, "Lin Hao, do you think that you are still the young master of the Lin family? Right now, you're just a piece of trash. Oh, you can't even be considered a piece of trash. Just hurry up and hand over the treasure that you're hiding!"

After all, Lin Hao was once the genius of the city before he died. But right now, he was alive and kicking. The more they thought about this, the more they felt that he must have hidden something beneficial that no one knew about. The other man yelled immediately, "We were ordered by Butler Wang to see if you are dead or not. If you were dead, we would have thrown you out of the city and feed you to wild dogs. You had better be honest with us, otherwise, even if we kill you now, no one will figure it out!"

Lin Hao's lips twisted with a hint of sarcasm as he said, "You two donkeys dare to behave arrogantly in front of me? You both can go to hell for all I care!"

His voice faded immediately.

The next moment...

Lin Hao closed his right hand and turned it into a Sword Finger. With lightning speed, he tapped twice in front of him and two flashes of sharp Sword Qi shot out.

Immediately, they pierced through flesh and blood gushed out.

A bloody hole appeared on the throats of the two servants!

They felt pain as panic surged through their bodies. They hurriedly covered their throats with both hands, but it was already too late. Blood gushed out from between their fingers and their vitality faded quickly. They both fell to the ground in quick succession. Their bodies quivered for some seconds before they died!

The cultivation base of these two was at the second level of the Open Pulse State.

Although Lin Hao's current strength was only at the first level of the Open Pulse State, the Sword Qi that was condensed from the Law-Defying Sword Manual was very pure and sharp. In addition to Lin Hao's combat experience, he was able to kill these two men effortlessly!

However, Lin Hao didn't have a lot of energy in his body. He already used up more than half of the energy from the two Sword Qi he used to kill the servants. He shook his head and sighed deeply. He was still too weak.

Immediately, he squatted and searched the clothes of the two corpses on the ground. In total, he found three first rank Essence Gathering Pill.

In this world, the ranks of pills, spirit weapons, and demon beasts were divided into nine stages.

The three Essence Gathering Pill that Lin Hao obtained from the men were the worst. All at once, he swallowed the three pills.

The power of the pills transformed into a torrent of heat flow that circulated within Lin Hao's meridians. He circulated the Sword Qi in his body to get rid of the impurities. After breathing like ten times, he had completely absorbed the energy of these three pills.

Under normal circumstances, even a Qi Ocean Stage Martial Artist would need a quarter of an hour to completely refine the energy of these three first-grade Essence Gathering Pills. Besides, they would not be able to remove the impurities within the Essence Gathering Pills. The impurities that settled within their body would cause detrimental effects to their cultivation in the future.

As a result, most geniuses that came from famous sects would choose not to consume pills to increase their strength. However, the Law-Defying Sword Manual could not be measured by common sense. He had nothing to worry about.

The Dantian formed by the Sword Qi in Lin Hao's body had become a bit more solid, and his strength had also increased a great deal. He was now equivalent to a Second Grade Open Pulse State.

Right now, all he wanted to do was to solve the problem of the Lin family first before he could deal with the Xiao family. But then, he had been locked up in this woodshed for three days. He had no idea what the current situation of the Lin family was. Therefore, he had already made up his mind for the next step!

Lin Hao took only a few steps before his body flashed. He tried to avoid the two patrolling guards of the Lin family.

Hao frowned.

He had already guessed that something was odd.

The defensive power of the Lin family had increased a lot.

As luck would have it, he was very familiar with the terrain of the backyard. He was able to avoid the prying eyes of the patrolling guards easily and went to the service room of the Lin family.

While in the service room...

A man in his forties stood with his hands on his waist as he stared at a young woman who had several whip marks on her back. She was chopping firewood.

The man's name was Wang Gui.

He was a housekeeper in the Lin family!

The two servants who died in the hands of Lin Hao were sent by him to see if Hao was dead or not.

It was obvious that the young woman was tired. She was so tired that she could no longer hold the cutlass. As soon as she dropped the cutlass, Wang Gui beat her mercilessly with the whip in his hand.

As soon as the whip fell on the woman's back, a clear blood mark appeared on her clothes. The woman yelled in pain. At that point, she couldn't hold on any longer as she fell to the ground. She stared at Wang Gui with pure hatred in her eyes.

With a smirk on his face, Wang Gui walked forward. With a cold snort, he said, "If you serve me honestly and make me feel good, I can let you live a good life. But then, you don't know how to appreciate favors. You want to save Lin Hao, right? Well, for your information, that useless young master of yours is dead already. I have arranged for someone to throw his corpse outside the city. As we speak, his corpse is being chewed up by wild dogs!"

The hatred in the eyes of the woman became even more intense. She said word by word, "Wang Gui, I promise you, you will receive retribution!"

"How dare you open your smelly mouth to curse me? I will teach you a bitter lesson!" As soon as he said this, Wang Gui's face was filled with ruthlessness. He raised his whip again and was ready to lash out!

The young woman had already closed her eyes tightly.

Just as his whip was about to land on her body, Wang Gui himself let out a miserable cry. All of a sudden, the whip he was holding fell to the ground as his wrist had been pierced by a wooden stick!

The person who attacked him was Lin Hao.

Initially, he planned to ask Wang Gui about the current situation in the Lin family, but seeing the scene that just played out in front of him, Lin Hao had no other option but to attack him in anger.

The woman lying on the ground was the maid who served Lin Hao ever since he was a child!

The woman opened her eyes and wondered what was going on. By the time she saw Lin Hao walking towards her slowly, her eyes revealed agreat surprise. She couldn't help but shout, "Young master!"

Wang Gui, whose wrist was pierced by a wooden stick, turned around abruptly and saw Lin Hao. Immediately, his face revealed a trace of fear. However, this fear disappeared quickly and was replaced by a ferocious look.

As far as he was concerned, the current Lin Hao was no longer the young master of the Lin family, neither was he a cultivation genius. Simply put, he was just trash. Wang Gui also had a certain level of strength. He was a Fourth Level Open Pulse State Warrior, so there was no need for him to be afraid.

For this reason, Wang Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Hao, you're still alive? I'll make sure that you die a horrible death this time!"

As soon as he said this...

Wang Gui endured the sharp pain he felt on his right wrist and pulled out the sword he placed beside him. He thrust the sword at Lin Hao.

Facing this sword —

Lin Hao's expression remained calm. He didn't even move an inch.

He just watched as Wang Gui kept thrusting his sword at him.

After all, he was once the Sword God of the generation.

He knew that he was only at the second level of the Open Pulse State.

But he would not be defeated by a man at the Fourth Level Open Pulse State like Wang Gui.

After all...

Wang Gui was going to attack Lin Hao with his sword!

This was some kind of huge joke!

Just as the sword was about to stab Lin Hao, all of a sudden, he let out a cold snort and a mighty force instantly spread out from his body.

Wang Gui's mind was struck by this force. Fear filled his heart and his hand which held the sword softened immediately, thereby making the sword fall to the ground with a loud sound.
