Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Chase to Kill

Being stared at by Ma Youfu, Liu Shixuan and the two others all revealed a wary expression.

In terms of strength, none of them was weaker than Ma Youfu, but the issue was that this guy was a madman.

Would any sane person pick a fight with a madman?

Fighting with Ma Youfu was very likely going to result in mutual destruction.

Thankfully, Ma Youfu didn’t make a move. He wanted to avenge his younger brother, and since Liu Shixuan and the others were just fighting him, it was clear they couldn’t have used some Clone Technique to kill his brother.

He checked his brother’s body and found multiple wounds, most of which were sustained in battle, while others were due to falls.

He immediately imagined the scene: his brother in fierce combat, yet blasted out of the vortex, falling to his death at the bottom of the lake.

As such, the murderer was highly likely still in the lake and hadn’t left.

He held his brother’s body and stood guard at the entrance of the passageway.

Whoever it was, they would have to die!

With him blocking the way, Liu Shixuan and the others likewise dared not leave.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t break through, but Ma Youfu might well kill on sight, given his brutality.

Therefore, they certainly had to stay put to prevent the situation from worsening.

—They could all potentially be the future leaders of their own sects, so protecting their junior brothers and sisters essentially meant safeguarding their own interests.

A while later, as people continuously broke through the vortex and appeared, they were startled to see all four of the Four Great Geniuses standing guard here.

“Was it you who killed my brother?”

“Who killed my brother?”

“It must be you!”

Ma Youfu, like a madman, questioned everyone he saw.

Thankfully, Liu Shixuan and his companions were in charge of keeping him in check, not allowing Ma Youfu to really make a move.

“That, I saw who killed your brother.” Finally, someone spoke up.

“Who?” Ma Youfu demanded fiercely.

“A disciple from White Cloud Sect, the most handsome one,” said the person.

Just a disciple from White Cloud Sect wasn’t enough to narrow it down as there were still seven suspects besides Liu Shixuan, but adding the qualifier of the handsomest, it could only be one person.

“That person is called Shi Hao!”

“Shi Hao!” Ma Youfu roared, “I will tear you to pieces!”

“He has already left.” Someone who had been swept near the vortex saw Shi Hao enter the passageway clearly.

After all, someone so handsome would leave a deep impression with just one glance.

“You’re not lying to me?” Ma Youfu asked, his voice menacing.

“No, no!” The person shook their head quickly, even Liu Shixuan and his companions needed to be cautious around Ma Youfu, the madman-type fighter.

Ma Youfu diverted his gaze, then, carrying his brother’s body, dashed into the passageway with swift, repeated steps.

Liu Shixuan and his companions promptly followed. They had come this time with great hopes.

To quickly outpace their peers in talent, they could only hope to find some Spiritual Medicine or treasure in the ancient relic.

Tang Yu was astonished; he hadn’t expected Shi Hao to be able to kill Ma Youlin, known as the Little Madman.

But with Ma Youfu out to kill Shi Hao, if he were to catch up to him first, then Shi Hao would certainly be doomed.

He had to hurry; he must find Shi Hao before Ma Youfu and force out all of his secrets.

He too immediately rushed into the passageway, sprinting with all his might.

…

Shi Hao had no idea he had killed Ma Youfu’s brother. A madman after all; did he need to take him seriously?

The passageway was long, and after walking for a considerable time, the path cleared up abruptly ahead.

It was obviously inside the belly of a mountain, but it had been hollowed out, with buildings spread out in connected clusters, and in the center was a massive palace, distinctly standing out from the rest, catching one’s eye immediately.

Go there.

Shi Hao immediately made a decision and headed towards the palace.

Here, speed was no longer restricted, and Shi Hao quickly arrived in front of the palace.

At the entrance, there stood two stone figures, each about three meters tall.

Just as Shi Hao was about to push open the grand doors of the palace, whoosh, a stone figure suddenly shot out beams of light from its eyes, scanning over his body.

What?

While he was still stunned, the stone figure had already made its move, slapping towards him.

Shi Hao clenched his fists and struck back at the stone figure.

Bang!

The stone figure was immediately sent flying, colliding heavily with the wall behind it.

Huh, that weak?

As Shi Hao took another step forward, the other stone figure did not make a move against him.

It seemed that he had passed this test.

He pushed the door, creaking and groaning, the door was heavy, but his strength exceeded a million catties, and he managed to open the incredibly heavy door.

“Shi Hao!” From behind, a fierce roar suddenly erupted.

Shi Hao turned his head to look and immediately recognized the person as Ma Youfu, who was holding a bloody figure in his hands.

What, the madman who attacked me earlier.

“How dare you kill my brother, I’ll have you flayed and dismembered a thousand times over!” Ma Youfu roared furiously as he charged forward.

But before Shi Hao could react, a stone figure had already shone its light onto Ma Youfu and met his charge.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This time, the stone figure showed formidable strength, going toe-to-toe with Ma Youfu without falling behind.

What?

What’s going on?

Shi Hao was somewhat puzzled, was it just his luck that he had picked an easy target?

As soon as Ma Youfu started fighting, he went mad, even using his brother’s corpse as a weapon, smashing it at the stone figure.

Crack—immediately, the body of Ma Youlin was smashed beyond recognition.

“Brother!” Ma Youfu bellowed loudly, becoming even more frenzied, “Shi Hao, I won’t let you die so easily, I’m going to cut off your flesh piece by piece!”

Huh, what does this have to do with me?

Shi Hao shook his head. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together; both of these guys were madmen!

At this moment, Liu Shixuan, Chang Tianyu, and Zong Hehua also rushed over, but Chang Tianyu was the first to charge out, causing Liu Shixuan and Zong Hehua to stop immediately.

Bang, the stone figure that Shi Hao had knocked down before had already returned to its spot. After scanning Chang Tianyu with a beam of light, it immediately prepared to strike.

And now, its combat power was completely different, exchanging blows with Chang Tianyu evenly matched in an intense fight.

Shi Hao then realized that the stone figures’ strength adjusted according to the opponent’s realm.

He was only at the Breaking the Extreme realm, so the stone figure’s combat power could only be suppressed to that of the Nine Extremes, thus it was no match for him.

However, facing Chang Tianyu, who was at the Four-Step Soul Nurturing stage, the stone figure naturally adjusted its combat power accordingly.

Genius is indeed genius.

Shi Hao saw clearly that both Chang Tianyu and Ma Youfu were gradually gaining the upper hand, but it was clear that victory wasn’t going to be quick or easy.

Strangely, Liu Shixuan and Zong Hehua did not take action, nor did they take the opportunity to bypass the fight.

Shi Hao believed that they were neither too disdainful to join forces, nor too proud to take an unguarded route; it was that if they took action or snuck in, the stone figures would unleash even greater combat power.

He smiled faintly, turned around, and entered into the palace.

“Shi Hao, you won’t escape, I will find you! I will kill you!” Ma Youfu’s howling voice came through.
