Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 801: The Villain Files a Complaint First

"Hehe." Shi Hao smiled, "Why rush to fight? I’m curious how, given that such an event occurred in the Ancient Dynastic Court, unexpectedly causing the death of everyone, you still know what happened?"

Xu Zhong revealed a proud expression: "Because I am the direct descendant of the Emperor of Fengdu!"

He looked down on Shi Hao: "If it hadn’t been for General Qianlong’s interference in the past, the Xu Family would have already brought the Demon Emperor’s followers over, achieving an unparalleled achievement!"

Shi Hao shook his head: "If your ancestors had truly succeeded back then, do you think you’d still exist?"

Can Restless Souls have children?

No, right?

"So, you should thank that General!" Shi Hao laughed.

For a moment, Xu Zhong didn’t know how to refute.

Indeed, General Qianlong ruined the great endeavor of the Emperor of Fengdu back then, but it was this very act that ensured the survival of the Xu Family’s descendants; otherwise, how could they be born?

"Hmph, Asura, I’ll give you one more chance. Let’s join forces to repair the Summoning Formation and bring the Demon Emperor’s subordinates over to obtain eternal life. What do you say?" He changed the topic.

Shi Hao thought for a moment: "Alright!"

"A wise choice." Xu Zhong came over, reached out his hand, as if to give Shi Hao something, but halfway through, he changed to a sweeping motion aimed at Shi Hao’s waist.

However, Shi Hao anticipated this and immediately retreated to avoid the strike.

He shook his head: "Brother Xu, that’s not very fair!"

Xu Zhong sneered: "You pretended to agree with me, weren’t you also planning to betray me while repairing the Summoning Formation? My ancestors suffered greatly in the past, should I not be cautious now?"

Back then, the final summoning ritual by the Emperor of Fengdu was interrupted by General Qianlong, causing a fierce backlash that cost him his life.

The Chen Family, generation after generation, has always thought about returning here, but also warned their descendants never to trust anyone lightly, to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xu Zhong launched continuous attacks, each one extremely fierce.

Shi Hao dodged, occasionally parried, while saying: "You knew about this place long ago, so you led the Azure Descent Sect to discover this underground space. But realizing that the sect alone could not reach here, you spread the news."

"Correct!" Xu Zhong didn’t deny it, yet his offensive became more urgent.

He was a disciple of a Great Sect, incredibly talented, with astonishing combat power.

Shi Hao found it difficult, but continued talking: "But I don’t understand, even with the combat power of four sacrifices, how did you manage to reach here?"

Xu Zhong flashed a smile: "I have a treasure that can completely neutralize all attacks, but it has a limited duration. So I needed someone to get me to the eighth layer, after which I could come over myself."

Oh, so that’s how it is.

Shi Hao nodded, his doubts finally resolved.

"Asura, since you know everything now, you can go in peace, right?" Xu Zhong laughed, launching a palm strike, gathering boundless energy that transformed into a massive hand the size of a manhole cover, bearing down on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t meet it head-on, primarily dodging.

Facing a strong combatant with four sacrifices head-on would clearly not be wise.

— Even with a big move, one must seize the opportunity; it’s not something that can easily turn the tide.

Now, Xu Zhong was overpowering, pressing Shi Hao hard.

Swoosh, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from the passageway entrance.

Huh, another person came!

Shi Hao looked over, seeing a young man who looked only twenty-four or twenty-five but whose actual age should be close to fifty.

Xu Zhong’s eyebrows slightly raised: "Brother Lin, perfect timing! This man intends to revive the summoning formation here, attracting more Restless Souls; quickly join forces with me to obliterate him!"

This was truly a case of a wicked man filing a complaint first.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh; Xu Zhong was indeed shameless.

Brother Lin?

Shi Hao glanced at the newly arrived young man and suddenly realized it was Lin Ziguang, the disciple of Sanying Hall, who hadn’t entered the ancient relics before, but was alerted after Qian Zhiyun’s team was stuck here.

With cultivation of three sacrifices and combat power of four sacrifices, he was indeed extraordinary.

Lin Ziguang glanced at Shi Hao, showing disdain: "A mere Supplementing Divine Temple, and Brother Xu actually needs my help?"

Such an opponent, forget Xu Zhong, even any single-sacrifice could handle him effortlessly.

Are you kidding me?

Xu Zhong merely smiled: "Brother Lin, don’t underestimate him; this person is Asura!"

What?

Lin Ziguang was startled; of course, he had heard of Asura, the monster who broke endless records, even humiliating Venerable Shuanghua; Asura was definitely one of the hottest names recently.

However, he still couldn’t believe that even Asura could break the martial arts iron law and possess Great Sacrificial Heaven combat power?

Even so, at best, Asura would reach the combat power of one sacrifice.

But you’re a three-sacrifices expert!

Xu Zhong no longer spoke, simply attacking Shi Hao.

Facts speak louder than words.

Indeed, after a few exchanges, Lin Ziguang’s expression changed.

He’s damn strong.

Even though Shi Hao mostly dodged, with only the occasional returning strike, Lin Ziguang could clearly judge that Asura truly possessed the combat power of three sacrifices.

— Four sacrifices naturally suppress three sacrifices, but to win easily, to kill, that’s tough.

"Fine, I’ll help you." Lin Ziguang immediately joined the battle.

He naturally trusted Xu Zhong, having had several dealings before, being from the same planet, and both disciples of a Great Sect. If Xu Zhong dared to harm him, wasn’t he afraid of Sanying Hall’s wrath?

The two with four sacrifices combined their forces, significantly increasing the pressure on Shi Hao.

But even Lin Ziguang had to admit, Shi Hao was truly powerful; no one in the Supplementing Divine Temple could surpass him.

Boom!

Suddenly, Xu Zhong unexpectedly launched a horizontal palm strike at Lin Ziguang.

This strike was completely out of the blue.

Lin Ziguang was totally unprepared and with a boom, after being struck by the palm, he was sent flying sideways.

He spat blood violently, his face filled with shock.

He couldn’t believe Xu Zhong would actually strike him!

Why?

And are you planning on instigating a war between the two sects?

Swish, a Restless Soul charged out, rushing toward Lin Ziguang.

"How dare you!" Lin Ziguang sneered, now even a Restless Soul dared to attack him?

Yet, he was immediately terrified.

Because this Restless Soul was at the Saintly Position level.

If he were still in his peak condition, he wouldn’t be too afraid, since the Restless Souls here were "starved" for too long, their combat power naturally much diminished, and at most, being just a bit stronger than four sacrifices, not by too much.

However, in his current state, having been sneak attacked by Xu Zhong, gravely injured by a single palm, how could he resist?

"Xu Zhong!" He gritted his teeth, roaring in anger, but completely unable to stop the Restless Soul from entering his body.
