Chapter 863 Hunters Often Appear as Prey

"We haven't seen each other for many years. Why, Brother Langtao doesn't recognize Qin now?"

Qin Hao had no intention of concealing his identity. After all, Haitang Duoduo had already recognized his martial arts skills before and couldn't hide it.

Lang Tao's eyes narrowed, he looked Qin Hao up and down, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You are that boy."

"You are actually at the peak of the ninth rank!"

Qin Hao Langtao cupped his hands and smiled: "Luckily, I just made a breakthrough."

Hearing this, Lang Tao's face showed a solemn look, and he touched the two chain axes at his waist with both hands: "Today, I will avenge the shame of the past and take my life!"

As he spoke, he threw a chain ax with his right hand and shot towards Qin Hao's throat.

Qin Hao casually hit the flying chain ax and shook his head helplessly: "Do you have to hit me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take the move!" Lang Tao shouted. It has been eight years, and only he knows how he spent these eight years.

Originally, when he left seclusion this time, he was going to Qingguo to compete with Qin Hao again. Now that the other party came to his door, why wasn't he overjoyed?

Qin Hao was about to remind Sean to hide, but he found that the old boy had already gotten up from the ground and hid behind the boulder. He was indeed a cunning guy.

After the chain ax was knocked away, Lang Tao used his true energy to quickly retract the chain ax. At the same time, he glared at his legs and pounced on Qin Hao like a cheetah. The double chain ax cut through the air with a whistling sound. A web of death was formed, covering Qin Hao.

Qin Hao's body was slightly sideways, and he responded with the "dragon shape" among the twelve shapes of Xingyi. His left hand was the palm, and his right hand made a fist. He used the "Green Dragon Exploring Claw" to easily deflect the chain ax's attack. At the same time, his right fist contained a domineering expression. The true energy hit Lang Tao directly in the chest.

Lang Tao's reaction was also quick. He turned the ax handle and blocked the punch. The two sides collided with each other, causing a wave of air. Suddenly, dust flew up, making people unable to open their eyes.

Sean, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this scene. His era seemed to be over.

"One more move from me!"

After Langtao stood firm, he didn't stop at all. He shouted loudly, and the two axes danced like windmills. The shadows of the axes were heavy. Under the blessing of the endless infuriating energy of Tiandao Kung Fu, the ground was smashed by the two chain axes, making pits and holes. The crack marks an area three meters in diameter as a death zone.

However, in the face of Lang Tao's fierce offensive, Qin Hao remained calm, like a swimming dragon, shuttling between the gaps in the chain axe. It must be said that Lang Tao has indeed made great progress in recent years, and his moves have become more sophisticated. There are fewer and fewer flaws.

However, having few flaws does not mean that there are none. Qin Hao suddenly focused his eyes and suddenly broke through the obstacles of the ax shadow. His domineering Qi suddenly burst out, and his right foot was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lang Tao's abdomen. Lang Tao was shocked and angry, and withdrew his double axe. It was too late to defend, so he could only cross his hands in front of his body, channel his whole body's energy into it, and take Qin Hao's fatal blow.

"Poof." Lang Tao spurted out a mouthful of blood and was knocked back several meters away. His legs stepped on the hard rock and forcedly stepped on two straight tracks.

"Stop, you can't beat me." Qin Hao took back his right leg and patted the dust on it.

After saying that, he was about to take Sean away, but he heard an angry shout from behind him.

"Stop, I'm not defeated yet!"

Veins popped up on Lang Tao's forehead. This feeling suddenly brought him back to eight years ago. Thinking back to the pain he had suffered in the past eight years, he never wanted to live such a life again.

"Today, I will definitely defeat you!"

As Lang Tao spoke, his whole body's true energy exploded, and countless energies from heaven and earth poured into his body crazily.

Sean's eyes widened in surprise when he saw this scene: "Boy, are you crazy? If you continue like this, you will be burst by the energy of heaven and earth!"

At this time, blue veins popped up on Lang Tao's forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and everything in his eyes turned into nothingness, leaving only Qin Hao's figure.

Lang Tao shouted loudly, and there was a faint cyan light flowing on the chain axe, as if it was given life, spinning around him, getting faster and faster, until it turned into two red whirlwinds, and the air was cut with a crackling sound. The small stones and dead leaves that were rolled up on the grass were scattered in all directions as if they were ejected by invisible hands.

Lang Tao suddenly stared with his feet, and his whole body was like a cannonball shot from hell, carrying a destructive power that could destroy a city and a stronghold, and rushed straight towards Qin Hao. The whirlwind formed by the chain ax was like two huge bloody sickles, splitting the space and vowing to strangle Qin Hao in this endless storm.

Facing Lang Tao's killing blow, Qin Hao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and the domineering Qi in his body was operating to the extreme. Just when Lang Tao was approaching and the two bloody whirlwinds were about to touch Qin Hao, his figure strangely moved. Side, almost parallel to the ground, with the "snake-like" agility of the Xingyi Fist, it magically slipped through the gap in the whirlwind, avoiding this thunderous blow. At the same time, Qin Hao's true energy condensed in his palms, and he used Gong's Bagua's unique skill "Flowers Hidden at the Bottom of the Leaves", and flew his palms towards Lang Tao's back.

Lang Tao couldn't react in time and felt as if he was struck by lightning on his back. Even though he used all his energy to resist, he was still staggered forward by the force of his palm. A mouthful of blood spurted out. The double-chain ax also broke. He came out of his hand and inserted it in On the stone platform not far away.

"Still defeated." Lang Tao spurted out a mouthful of blood and looked at Qin Hao unwillingly, who was only one step away from him, but he couldn't cross that step no matter what.

Qin Hao winked at Sean, who was looking at him in disbelief. The latter came back to his senses, stood up holding on to the rock, and followed Qin Hao down the mountain.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lang Tao could no longer hold on and fell straight to the ground.

After almost half an hour, Haitang Duoduo followed the traces of fighting and found Lang Tao, who was already unconscious, and brought him back to Ku He's retreat.

As a result, Ku He was fighting fiercely with Wu Zhu. Haitang Duoduo had no choice but to shout at the waterfall: "Master, Senior Brother is dying, come and have a look."

Ku He immediately said to Wu Zhu: "Let's not fight today."

"As long as you don't go out, it doesn't matter whether you fight or not." Wu Zhu's face showed no expression at all.

Ku He had no choice but to let Haitang Duoduo send Lang Tao in.

"Who beat your senior brother like this?" Ku He checked Lang Tao's injuries and frowned.

Haitang Duoduo shook her head: "I don't know, but Senior Brother Lang Tao received the Queen Mother's order and went to help Shen Zhong of the Jinyiwei."

"Master, can Senior Brother be saved like this?"

Ku He did not answer, but sat Lang Tao up, put his hand on his back, and streams of green true energy began to slowly flow through Lang Tao's body.

After a long time, Ku He retracted his palms and said to Haitang Duoduo: "Put him on my bed and rest for a while. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover in a short time."

After Haitang Duoduo put Lang Tao in place, she asked suspiciously: "Master, didn't you say that among the nine ranks in the world, the eldest brother can be ranked in the top four? Why is he so seriously injured this time? Is it the Grandmaster who did it?"

Ku He shook his head gently: "If the Grandmaster did it, he would not be alive."

"And the four great masters in the world, except for the one who has not appeared in the palace of Nanqing for a long time, the other two are very familiar to the master. This is not their work. This true energy is extremely domineering."

Speaking of this, Ku He and Haitang Duoduo thought of a person at the same time.

"The kid that Ye Liuyun brought back then."

"Qin Hao!"

Haitang Duoduo slapped her thigh: "It was he who stopped me from killing Sean a few days ago. I fought with him for a few moves, but I felt that I couldn't beat him, so I came back."

For a moment, Haitang Duoduo was somewhat fortunate that she saw the opportunity quickly and did not fight to the death with Qin Hao, otherwise she would be lying on the bed now.

"What realm is this kid at now?" Ku He frowned and asked.

"Ninth rank peak."

Hearing this, Ku He was also a little surprised: "I remember that kid was only ten years old eight years ago?"

"Ninth rank peak at the age of eighteen, is Qing Kingdom going to have another grandmaster?"

Thinking of this, Ku He's eyes surged with murderous intent. Originally, Bei Qi was not as strong as Nan Qing in terms of national strength. It was because the mysterious grandmaster of the Nan Qing Palace had been hiding for some reason that Bei Qi could compete with Nan Qing for so many years.

If Nan Qing had three grandmasters, then even Bei Qi and Dong Yi City combined would not be Nan Qing's opponent.

"Wu Zhu, give me a day to deal with something. You can fight as long as you want afterwards." Ku He spoke with a hint of pleading.

However, Wu Zhu shook his head stubbornly: "No, if you want to get out, you have to get past me first."

Ku He was so angry that he almost wanted to curse, but he was helpless. The monster in front of him came out of the temple. He thought of many ways, not to mention defeating the monster, he couldn't even get rid of it. The monster seemed to have the ability to predict what he wanted to do in advance.

Helpless, Ku He could only whisper to Haitang Duoduo: "Go and keep an eye on that boy. If possible, try to keep him here."

"Master, but I can't beat him."

"If you can't beat him, you can think of other ways. If not, go to the Queen Mother for help and say that this is my intention."

"Then Master, will you still kill Sean?"

"He dare not say anything. Don't worry about him for the time being. The boy surnamed Qin is the biggest threat to my Northern Qi."

"I know, Master. I'll leave first. You can fight slowly."

On the other side, Qin Hao and Sean were resting in a cave. Although Qin Hao blocked Lang Tao's fatal blow in time, Sean's injuries were not light. He had been imprisoned in the dungeon for twenty years and was tortured by Shen Zhong. If it were someone else, he would have been unable to bear it.

Looking at Qin Hao leaning against the rabbit by the fire, Sean couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Speaking of which, how many times have you saved me?"

"Why, Senior Xiao, are you going to repay me by telling me the complete 'Tianyi Dao Gongfa'?"

Faced with Qin Hao's ridicule, Sean smiled and said, "That won't work. At least I have to wait until I am completely safe before I can give it to you."

"Senior Xiao, if I give you to Ku He, can I get the Gongfa in exchange?"

Sean raised his eyebrows and said playfully, "If Ku He sees you, he will definitely kill you the first time."

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

"A little monster like you will become a grandmaster one day. By then, Nanqing will have three grandmasters, and unification of the world is just around the corner. Do you think Ku He will give you a chance to continue to grow?"

Qin Hao gave half of the roasted rabbit meat to Sean: "So, Senior Xiao wants to say that if I want to get the 'Tianyi Dao Gongfa', I can only cooperate with you, right?"

"We can cooperate in much more than that." Sean's eyes condensed.

"Oh? I don't see what I want from Senior Xiao." Qin Hao said nonchalantly.

Xiao En bit off a big mouthful of rabbit meat and said while chewing: "Now I naturally don't have what you want, but if I make a comeback and reorganize the Tiqi."

Before Sean finished speaking, Qin Hao interrupted impatiently: "Old Senior Xiao seems to be too optimistic about his situation. In addition to Jinyiwei Zhenfushi Shen Zhong, there is also Grandmaster Ku He who wants to kill you. It is uncertain whether you can survive, let alone make a comeback?"

"Shen Zhong? Just a jumping clown. If it weren't for Chen Pingping, the old dog, who designed to harm me, how could he be so arrogant? Jinyiwei, hum, compared with my Tiqi, is just a group of rabble. As long as Shen Zhong is killed, I can regain the favor of the Queen Mother. At that time, for the Queen Mother's face, Ku He will not easily touch me." Sean analyzed calmly.

Qin Hao nodded secretly. He is worthy of being the King of the Dark Night who is as famous as Chen Pingping. After being imprisoned for so many years, he was just released and could learn about the situation outside from some fragmented information and find the key nodes of the problem.

"Even if you make a comeback as you said, what benefits can I get?" Qin Hao looked unconcerned.

Sean put the remaining rabbit meat into his mouth, patted his greasy hands, sat in front of Qin Hao, and said seriously: "As long as you help me kill Shen Zhong, all the information of the Tiqi can be shared with you in the future. Moreover, my adopted son Shang Shanhu is a general of Northern Qi. More friends mean more ways. Qing Kingdom is not your only choice."

"Humph, your calculations are really good. I help you kill Shen Zhong, but you still want to betray and surrender to Northern Qi?" Qin Hao sneered.

Sean shook his head and sighed slowly: "When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, and when the cunning rabbits die, the running dogs are cooked. This has been the case since ancient times. If Qing Kingdom unifies the world, how do you think Emperor Qing will treat you generals who have expanded the territory?"

"High positions and generous salaries? Granting titles and fiefs? It's just keeping you in a pen and treating you as fat sheep. Whenever you are unhappy, you will be pulled out and slaughtered."

Qin Hao pretended to be tangled, and Sean continued to lobby.

"I'm not asking you to betray your country and come to Northern Qi, but I'm just giving you more options. If Emperor Qing treats you unfairly one day, I, Sean, swear that I will definitely introduce you to the Queen Mother. When the time comes, you and I will join forces, and Northern Qi will be under our control."

Qin Hao asked back: "If there really comes such a day in the future, what will happen if Senior Xiao doesn't fulfill his promise?"

Sean immediately said: "Do you know why Ku He must kill me? Because I know one of his secrets, and the secrets about the temple. If you agree to help me, I will tell you all these secrets. If you lie, I will punish you. How about that?"

"I need to think about this matter for a while."

"It's a big deal, so I have to think it over carefully."

Sean showed excitement in his eyes.

And Qin Hao smiled secretly in his heart, hunters often appear in the form of prey.
