Chapter 487: Chapter 485 Intense Battle
Just a single voice carried such an overwhelming presence that Xia Han’s knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground.
Qin Hao remained calmly standing in place, facing him was a middle-aged man with a stern face, equally filled with anger. This man was none other than the leader of the Quicksand Organization, Takeda!
Takeda stood opposite Qin Hao. Although still furious in his heart, the fact that the opponent could so easily kill his two formidable generals made him wary.
"Who exactly are you?" He stared at Qin Hao for a long time, increasingly unable to fathom the young man before him, and immediately asked.
Qin Hao’s mouth curled into a slight smile, then he said, "I’m the one who has come to claim your life."
Upon hearing this, Takeda’s heart was instantly filled with rage, and he quickly shouted, "If I remember correctly, today should be the first time I’m meeting you. We’ve had no grudges in the past, nor recent enmity, so why have you come here, resorting to killing?"
"Who said we have no enmity? You kidnapped someone you shouldn’t have touched, and there’s only one outcome for that—death!"
As Qin Hao spoke, he subtly gestured towards the direction where Xia Han was.
Takeda understood Qin Hao’s intention, but he still said, "Haha, so you’ve come to play the hero rescuing the beauty. But you see, to be a hero, you must first have the strength."
"This woman inside is indeed exceptional, but let me tell you, I’ve decided she’s mine!"
As he spoke, his entire aura shifted, like a sharp spear filled with murderous intent, standing tall in front of Qin Hao. A tremendously overpowering pressure rushed towards Qin Hao, whose brow twitched as he calmly said, "Haha, if that’s the case, let’s see who’s stronger below!"
With those words, he suddenly dashed forward like a sharp sword, throwing a punch towards Takeda.
Takeda sensed the piercing momentum of Qin Hao’s punch and didn’t dodge at all. He coldly snorted, tightly clenched his fist, and threw a fierce punch back.
Bang!
Their fists collided with a loud sound, akin to a thunderclap, echoing throughout the Quicksand Organization’s camp and alarming everyone within.
Qin Hao maintained his original stance but retreated two to three meters, plowing a deep trench in the ground with his feet. Meanwhile, Takeda’s face flushed, his Inner Strength rapidly circulating, constantly counteracting the waves of force emanating from Qin Hao’s punch.
The exchange left both of them astonished.
This Takeda, his strength was comparable to the Vice Gang Leader of the Golden Stone Sect!
Such formidable strength indicated that the Quicksand Organization could already be considered a weaker Hidden Sect, no wonder they acted so brazenly; they had such strength backing them!
Meanwhile, Takeda’s heart was in turmoil. The man before him was virtually unknown, yet his strength was terrifying!
Could he be a disciple of some great Noble Family or major Sect sent out for training? Even a master listed on the Celestial List of the mundane world couldn’t possibly possess such incredible strength!!
Both were taken aback, and Qin Hao’s form once again moved!
His entire right leg transformed into a black shadow, ruthlessly lashing towards Takeda with a momentum that seemed to carry the power of wind and thunder!
At such close range, as fast as lightning, Takeda simply couldn’t evade and could only raise his arm to block.
Bang!
Another heavy impact sounded, and under Qin Hao’s kick, Takeda was forced to retreat repeatedly, spitting a mouthful of blood!
Despite Takeda’s formidable strength, at most he was at the level of the Golden Stone Sect’s Vice Gang Leader. Qin Hao had already defeated this Vice Gang Leader even before fully mastering Inner Strength, let alone now, when he had completely awakened the power of the Inner Strength.
It was the first time Qin Hao fought so exhilaratingly since completely mastering Inner Strength; the sensation of powerful energy surging within him was simply intoxicating.
However, on the other side, Takeda was utterly terrified.
In the first exchange, he assumed they were of equal strength, but the subsequent kick completely made him realize the vast gap in their levels!
Qin Hao kicked Takeda back, but he didn’t stop there; with even greater speed, he charged forward again.
In an instant, the sound of cracking echoed incessantly as Qin Hao transformed every inch of his body into formidable weapons, relentlessly beating down Takeda!
Bang!
Another punch landed squarely on the chest. This time, Takeda was finally driven to the point of exhaustion, his Protective Inner Strength completely depleted, and his complexion pale as paper.
He spat another mouthful of blood, and under the impact of Qin Hao’s Inner Strength, all his internal meridians shattered.
Takeda was like a tattered flag in the wind, about to be ended by Qin Hao’s final blow. Just as he prepared to deliver the fatal strike, an angry shout erupted from behind.
"Stop!"
With the sound came a series of sharp whooshing, passing directly into Qin Hao’s ears.
He quickly turned to look, only to see the dim sky filled with seventy to eighty sharp spears made from bamboo, flying towards him. Behind him was the most elite unit of the Quicksand Organization, all wielding these self-made weapons. Though crude, they were quite effective.
Seeing the overwhelming bamboo spears, Qin Hao was also alarmed. Even with his powerful Inner Strength, he couldn’t stand beneath such a dense barrage of spears barehanded.
These spears were meticulously crafted by the Quicksand Organization, made from bamboo over ten years old, harvested in the dense forest, and soaked in water, saturated to add weight.
With such weight, every spear had considerable heft. When thrown by the specially trained fighters of the Quicksand Organization, each spear falling from the sky could impale straight through a fully grown wild boar, let alone a human.
Qin Hao sighed inwardly, retracting his fists, and quickly retreated. In a series of swift movements, he escaped the range of the spears but left Takeda alive by retreating.
Once Qin Hao evaded, a series of thudding sounds of falling spears incessantly filled the air.
The sharp bamboo spearheads easily penetrated deep into the ground!
