Chapter Fifty-Three: Unexpected Turn of Events

  Bang!

  That three-star warrior was stabbed in the chest, and at the moment of his last breath, he still didn't understand how he had inexplicably taken a knife to the chest, and with a loud crash, he heavily smashed onto the ground.

  "You, you're Jiang Hao!"

  Zhou Mengyan's eyes widened, clearly the sudden change made her disbelieve her own eyes.

  "Hehe, Mengyan sister, long time no see, you're even more beautiful!" Jiang Hao smiled.

  "Mengyan, are you okay?" Xiao Lin hastily jumped down from the carriage and helped Zhou Mengyan up. As soon as she saw Jiang Hao standing in front of her, her face suddenly became vigilant!

  "What kind of person are you? Are you the one who hurt Meng Yan?"

  "Good grief!" Jiang Huan was speechless for a moment, and the little girl in front of him looked about the same age as himself.

  "Xiao Lin, I'm fine. It was this person who just saved me, otherwise I would have been done for." Zhou Mengyan's face turned bright red as she hastily grabbed Xiao Lin's hand and said.

  "Oh, is that so? So this person was murdered then. No way, this guy looks younger than me, how could he possibly kill someone who even Dreamy Sister couldn't beat?" Xiaolin looked at Jiang Huan with a puzzled expression, her face filled with disbelief.

  "Heh heh, little girl, this person was indeed killed by me. However, this guy really deserved to die. Dreamy Sister, what's going on here?" Jiang Huan ignored Little Lin's questioning and asked Zhou Mengyan instead.

  Xiao Lin wanted to say something again, but was pulled back by Zhou Mengyan and swallowed her words. However, she still had an "I'm older than you" expression on her face, which made Jiang Hao's heart feel cold.

  "I don't know, I was suddenly intercepted by this group of bandits. The other side has several martial arts schools, and it seems that even my uncle is no match for them! My uncle is a seven-star martial artist!" Zhou Mengyan said with a worried face after regaining her composure from the initial shock.

  "Bandits, and bandits again!" Jiang Hao glanced at the four red-robed figures in the distance, a faint smile playing on his lips.

  "Little brother!"

  At this time, those red-clothed men just discovered the situation here and saw that the three-star war master was killed. Instantly, their eyes were covered with a layer of scarlet color.

  "Little boy, you killed my fifth brother, I want your life." The man with a face full of scars, holding a giant axe, charged at Jiang Hao like a rhinoceros, but Jiang Hao just stood still, without any movement.

  "Ah! Be careful, Young Master Jiang!" Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't dodge or evade, Zhou Mengyan couldn't help but cry out in alarm!

  The red-clothed man with a scar on his face was delighted, thinking that the young man had been frightened silly. A black glow surged up from the giant axe and descended towards Jiang Heng's head like a hanging black moon. The black glow appeared, as if he could already see Jiang Heng being split in two by his axe.

  Whoosh!

  Jiang Hao was split in two from the middle, but strangely, there wasn't a single drop of blood flowing out!

  "Not good!"

  The burly man let out a silent cry in his heart and swung his giant axe with all his might.

  Clang!

  A metallic clashing sound came from behind, and Jiang Hao suddenly appeared with his Broken Wind sword, attacking him from the back!

  "Is this all you're capable of, kid?"

  Heng Rou's sneak attack on Jiang Hao was blocked by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart. His hands wildly outputted battle energy, and a black axe burst out, shooting straight at Jiang Hao's eyes.

  "Huh?"

  Hei Mang burst into Jiang Heng's eyes and entered his body as if there was no resistance, and the next moment he had already penetrated directly from Jiang Heng's body.

  "It's just a residual image, you little stinker! You're good at playing tricks, show your true self if you have the ability!" The horizontal meat man saw that he had been fooled again, and his heart suddenly burst into rage. His giant axe was instantly covered by black mist, clearly using all his strength.

  Just as the horizontal meat man concentrated on finding Jiang Hao's true body, the corner of the mouth of the residual shadow that had just been glanced at by Hei Mang suddenly moved, and in the next moment, the dagger in his hand burst out.

  Hmph!

  "How, how is it possible? Obviously, obviously it's a residual image!" As Jiang Huan made his move, the muscular man didn't notice at all, so Jiang Huan simply used a very simple method to take down the muscular man.

  Whoosh!

  After the dagger was thrown out, Jiang Huan unfolded his body and closely followed behind. Just as the dagger was inserted into the chest of the burly man, Jiang Huan's palms had already reached the back of the burly man's head.

  Pierced through the chest by a dagger, the muscular man hadn't even had time to react when his head was slapped again by Jiang Hua's fierce palm.

  "Hiss!"

  The fatty man's hair suddenly caught fire, and his seven orifices spewed out a large amount of yellow flames, but there were no scorch marks on his skin. The tragic fatty man was directly turned into charcoal by Jiang Hao's fierce palm in his brain.

  From the moment he struck to the moment he killed his enemy, it seemed like only a few breaths had passed. Meanwhile, Zhou Mengyan and Xiaolin looked at Jiang Hao with terrified expressions as he slowly revealed himself, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

  Jiang Hao kicked the corpse of the horizontal meat man and muttered, "Even ordinary second-tier magic beasts can't withstand my full-strength blow. Hehe, you're the first one to try my Flame Palm, you should be flattered."

  After experiencing several months of fighting with second-order monsters, Jiang Heng felt a sense of ease when facing these ordinary second-order warriors, even if the opponent was several levels higher than himself. Jiang Heng still felt like there was no pressure, all thanks to the benefits brought by actual combat.

  The situation changed in an instant, with Jiang Hao taking out two strong war masters on the opposing side. Apart from the red-clothed youth, the remaining two war masters were being tightly suppressed by Zhou Kun and Zhou Ling.

  "Useless thing!"

  The man in red only noticed Jiang Huan at this time, watching as the two martial masters were killed, and he himself was exhausted from trying to hold back Zhou Yan.

  "Second brother, fourth brother, we're retreating!"

  The man in red robes suddenly shouted and clashed with Zhou Yan, the two of them separating after a fierce palm strike. He turned around and swiftly ran into the forest, clearly a decisive person.

  Those men in black also left several corpses behind and retreated, while the guards who wanted to chase after them were stopped by Zhou Yan.

  "Everyone stop chasing, regroup and rest in place. Little Chen, go count the number of casualties." Zhou Yan arranged calmly.

  "Mengyan, are you alright?!" Zhou Yan rushed over and asked upon seeing Zhou Mengyan injured.

  "Uncle, I'm fine, just need some rest." Zhou Mengyan hastily shook her head, except for being a bit weak, she was now out of danger.

  Zhou Yan turned around, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "I am Zhou Yan, may I ask your honorable surname, young brother?"

  "My junior surname is Jiang, I have met you before, Senior Zhou." Jiang Hao replied.

  "Oh? Is this young brother a member of the Jiang family?" Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

  "That's right, my father is Jiang Yuan."

  "Haha, so that's how it is. Jiang Yuan and I are close friends after all. However, I only knew he had two sons, Jiang Tian and Jiang Lie. When did another son pop up?" Zhou Yan was full of puzzlement on his face.

  Jiang Hao couldn't help but scold his father in his heart, no one else knows how many sons you have, it seems that he really doesn't have any status, and it's true, the previous self was unable to cultivate, and can't completely blame the old man, after all, listening to mother say, when young, the old man had thought of various methods to cure himself, but ultimately returned without success, so also lost hope for himself.

  "Senior, Jiang Tian and Jiang Lie are my elder brothers." said Jiang Hao.

  "Haha, it's really beyond my expectations. Jiang Yuan has such an excellent son hidden away, haha, thanks a lot this time." Zhou Yan didn't ask any more questions.

  "No need for formalities, I've also met Miss Mengyan before. Helping out is only natural." Jiang Hao said calmly.

  "In that case, I won't say much more. We were just on our way to Sun City when we ran into this gang of robbers. Hmph!" Zhou Yan was furious.

  "Jiang Hao, are you going home? Why don't we go together!" Zhou Mengyan suddenly said.

  "This doesn't seem quite right!" Jiang Hao scratched his head, his face a bit unnatural.

  "Haha, you young people should interact more, Jiang Huan, just come along with us, it's good to have someone to take care of each other on the road." Zhou Yan said with a laugh.

  Jiang Hao couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, so he reluctantly agreed. However, due to the previous battle, many carriages were lost, and Jiang Hao had no choice but to share a carriage with Zhou Mengyan. The carriage was quite spacious, enough for six or seven people to sit in, but at this time, Jiang Hao's mood could only be described as being on pins and needles.

  The carriage was like a girl's boudoir, filled with fragrance and pink decorations everywhere. Jiang Hao had no choice but to close his eyes and start cultivating, after all, there were two girls in the carriage as well.

  Zhou Mengyan occasionally glanced at Jiang Hao with the corner of her eye, and the scene where Jiang Hao had just made his move kept flashing in her mind, causing her heart to flutter slightly.

  After this battle, Zhou Yan strengthened his defense and advanced speed. Under the sunset, the fleet drove along the highway straight to Taiyang City.
