Soon, Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang could clearly sense the sixth-rank underground martial artist behind them, who was only about 500 meters away.
They'll catch up in about half a minute.
However, the two were not worried at all. They had already reached a distance of five kilometers, which meant that Lu Hao was lying in ambush somewhere below. All they had to do was keep running.
"Old Wang, let's make another bet. How many moves will it take Lu Hao to kill that cave warrior behind us?"
"Qin Fengqing, are you addicted to gambling? If Lu Hao finds out you're using him as a gambler, he'll beat you black and blue."
Wang Jinyang replied silently, "What a bad habit this is!" But he understood, since boys often make pointless bets.
As for bets or anything, there weren't any. At most, it would be a simple "You're awesome," which is the highest honor among boys.
"Um—forget it then, I'm a good student, how could I possibly gamble—"
Upon imagining Lu Hao beating her up, Qin Fengqing immediately changed her tune.
Just as Qin Fengqing was speaking, a surge of blood energy shot up from the ground, instantly slashing towards the underground warriors behind them.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang stopped running, turned around and stopped, swallowed two Qi and Blood Pills, and observed the situation.
The sixth-rank underground warrior opposite seemed to have lost consciousness, remaining motionless under Lu Hao's slashing blade.
The next moment, a streak of blood flashed, and the sixth-grade underground warrior was cleaved in two.
After killing the sixth-rank cultivator, Lu Hao didn't linger and headed towards the direction Qin Fengqing and the others had come from, since there was still another sixth-rank cultivator there.
"Holy crap!" Qin Fengqing murmured as he looked at the scene before him. He really didn't expect that a sixth-rank cultivator would be defeated in one move by Lu Hao. He had only sensed it before, but now he had seen it with his own eyes.
Moreover, this sixth-rank underground warrior is probably not a low-level one, since he has already left the main force behind him by a significant margin.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang exchanged a glance, both shocked by what they saw; it was simply inhuman.
The two headed north. Lu Hao killed a sixth-rank enemy, and another sixth-rank enemy followed, along with quite a few fourth- and fifth-rank enemies.
When Wang Jinyang and Qin Fengqing arrived, they found a scene of utter devastation. The ground was littered with severed limbs and the corpses of the underground warriors. Lu Hao was still there, killing the remaining underground warriors. Qin Fengqing felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't feel any sympathy for him.
After all, these are underground warriors, and their hands are stained with the blood of countless human warriors, so there's nothing to sympathize with.
Qin Fengqing was afraid of Lu Hao, after all, Lu Hao's current appearance was simply that of a butcher.
Lu Hao quickly finished off the fourth and fifth-rank enemies in front of him.
The kill points given by a fourth-rank official are already in the tens of digits. The fifth-rank official is a bit better, in the hundreds or tens of digits, which is equivalent to the kill points of a sixth-rank official.
Seeing that Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang had arrived and that they weren't seriously injured, he realized he had underestimated himself.
In reality, there was no need to lure the enemy out; he could hold off four Rank 6 experts on his own. He had simply overestimated the Rank 6 experts who lacked manifested spiritual power.
The truth is, it was too weak. Basically, its mental energy collapsed as soon as it was hit by Lu Hao's mental energy, and then it was killed by Lu Hao with a single slash.
No wonder they can completely dominate mid-grade players after reaching the high-grade level. I've never heard of anyone being able to defeat a seventh-grade player from a sixth-grade level.
The manifested spiritual power is too strong. Only a sixth-grade cultivator with a fusion of essence and blood can withstand it to some extent, but even that cannot last for too long.
If the strength of one hectic mental power is one point before it is manifested, then after it is manifested, the strength of one hectic mental power is five points.
Although the numerical value appears to have increased by only a few hundred hertz, the actual increase in intensity is not just a few hundred hertz but several thousand hertz.
Therefore, it has an overwhelming effect on beings who do not manifest spiritual power.
Moreover, this didn't cause Lu Hao any real damage; at most, it consumed some of his blood and spirit. And with his current recovery ability, he didn't even need to use any killing points to recover on his own.
"Old Wang, Old Qin, come quickly and clean up the battlefield. I underestimated the effect of spiritual manifestation. Let's go and destroy that camp. There are only two sixth-rank enemies and a group of fourth and fifth-rank enemies left. Even if the rest are all fused with essence and blood, I can hold them off."
Lu Hao said to Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang.
"Huh? Lu Hao, you're that good now?" Qin Fengqing asked curiously after hearing Lu Hao's words.
"Pretty much. For me right now, the only thing I might be concerned about is the unity of essence and blood. The rest are no match for me."
As Lu Hao dug out the energy heart, he spoke, while also explaining to them some of the changes that occurred after the manifestation of spiritual power.
"Damn, does that mean you're invincible? According to you, you could even put up a fight against a seventh-rank cultivator, since your spiritual power hasn't undergone a qualitative change," Qin Fengqing said in astonishment.
"You're dreaming, but it won't work. I've already manifested my spiritual power—I've fully manifested seventh-grade spiritual power, and it's even improved. My blood and qi are far inferior to those of a seventh-grade."
"They'll probably kill me in just a few moves. At most, I estimate I'll be able to deal with a newly broken-through seventh-rank when my essence and blood are fully integrated. The difference between the seventh and sixth ranks is just too great."
Lu Hao poured cold water on the idea.
"That's good too. You could say you're invincible below the Grandmaster level. I'm so envious. I don't even know when I'll be able to manifest spiritual power."
As Qin Fengqing listened to Lu Hao's description, she couldn't help but think of her own experience of manifesting spiritual power.
"Hey, hey, hey, wipe your drool," Lu Hao teased Qin Fengqing, who was looking at him like a lecherous man. Qin Fengqing subconsciously wiped his mouth, then realized what he had done and glared at Lu Hao, saying, "You're the one drooling—"
"Ah, yes, yes, I left it. But you don't need to worry too much. You've all taken the Spirit Nourishing Fruit, and you've all broken through to the sixth rank."
Even the sixth-grade closed spiritual gate, which greatly increases spiritual power, and the seventh-grade manifested spiritual power, definitely can't stop you. If you want to be like me, as you can see, there's only one way.
"Spend money to buy two Moonlit Grasses, and you can materialize them ahead of time," Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Ahem, I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, with you as my strong backer, it's not too late to manifest spiritual power at the peak of the sixth rank."
Upon hearing that the desire to materialize ahead of time meant doing what Lu Hao did, Qin Fengqing instantly changed her mind and no longer wanted to do so.
Two Moonlit Grasses are worth 10 billion, and he doesn't even have half of that right now. He's not in a hurry to use his spiritual power; he'll naturally reach the point of materialization when he reaches the peak of the sixth rank.
Wang Jinyang, standing to the side, remarked on how quickly Lu Hao had advanced, surpassing them by a significant margin. He could now fight against opponents with combined essence and blood, and even win, while he and Qin Fengqing could only contend with mid-stage sixth-rank cultivators. Lu Hao's progress had been far too rapid.
It seems they won't be able to operate together anytime soon, as their combat strength has begun to diverge significantly.
