Chapter 520: Chapter 518: Golden Fire Begs for Mercy
Seventy years.
Over half a century, enough time for society to undergo a technological revolution.
Over the long years, Golden Fire, relying on the Golden Bell Shield, rampaged with no defeats.
The time was so long that he forgot what pain felt like.
But today, he felt pain once more.
Severe pain, piercing pain, distorted his expression and filled his eyes with horror.
The opponent’s fingers were like drills, the fingertips carrying the intent of ice and fire.
Now, within Golden Fire’s body, Qin Hao’s Ice and Fire Qi was recklessly ravaging.
"What on earth is this Cultivation Technique?"
Golden Fire’s face turned pale at a visible speed, and finally, with a sickly pallor, he unwillingly asked.
"Wumei Finger. The strongest Finger Technique known in the world."
Qin Hao’s face was full of pity, "The Finger Technique of the anti-Japanese hero, using it on you is such a waste."
"You!"
At this point, Qin Hao still insulted him, Golden Fire’s internal injuries and external wounds flared up, blood crazily spilled from his mouth and shoulder wounds.
Sss!
Qin Hao withdrew his two fingers from Golden Fire’s shoulder, looked at his blood-stained fingers, and shook his head, "A seventy-year old turtle shell, and I broke it with just a day’s practice. Life is really lonely as snow!"
You’ve won, but is there really a need for such theatrics?
Golden Fire lived for seventy years and had never seen someone who loved putting on airs as much as this.
Blow after blow, humiliation, regret...
A multitude of emotions overwhelmed him, and Golden Fire was in despair. He knew, now injured and with the Golden Bell Shield broken, he was no match for Qin Hao.
This sad fact weighed heavily on his heart.
"I’ve lived for seventy years, is this where I die?"
"No, a man can bend and stretch, as long as I live, there’s a chance for revenge!"
The will to survive surged, and Golden Fire clenched his fists with determination, then suddenly his knees gave way, and he knelt on the ground with a thud!
"Having been defeated today, I’ve learned there’s always someone stronger. I admit defeat, and from now on, I willingly submit to you, young friend!"
Golden Fire’s performance was masterful, his expression solemn and reverent, his previously wretched face surprisingly bearing a hint of "loyal subject."
Not far away, Luo Dan was frozen stiff upon witnessing this scene.
Not only his body was stiff, but even his mind was completely paralyzed.
Now, his worldview crumbled, the immense impact turning his mind completely blank.
So blank that he couldn’t even think anymore.
In the group chat, all the leaders were stunned.
As a result, no messages appeared in the chat for a long time.
Everyone was holding their phones, staring blankly at the screen, some leaders with their mouths open so long that drool dripped onto the screen.
Drip.
The saliva ran down to their fingertips, waking up those leaders.
Finally, the group chat had its first message.
"Madness, this world has gone completely mad."
"What kind of script is this? I just swore loyalty to Golden Fire yesterday!"
"Hahaha, I, Wang Da, roamed Sangtang Street, thought I was a loyal soul, seems I’m just a fence-sitter after all!"
"We’re all fence-sitters, don’t be too upset. Just think about how to please Qin Hao next."
"Damn, I just cursed him out yesterday, whoever snitches on me, I’ll fight them to death!"
Those leaders who previously looked down on Qin Hao deeply regretted it, wishing they could immediately delete all records of them bad-mouthing Qin Hao.
Some may lament while others rejoice; the three who supported Qin Hao earlier were elated, as happy as if they’d just won a bet on the World Cup.
"Hahaha, you fools, didn’t I say Qin Hao might not lose, and you all mocked me?"
"Luo Dan, weren’t you going to show Golden Fire the chat records? Go now!"
"Qin Hao truly lives up to being a hero, I knew he had a backup plan, and he indeed didn’t disappoint me! From now on, I’ll follow Qin Hao!"
The words of the three leaders, full of pride, caused everyone to show bitter expressions and deep unwillingness inside.
But what can be done?
It’s simply blaming oneself for failing to see beyond one’s nose!
Beep! Beep! Beep...
The continuous notification sounds from the phone snapped Luo Dan back to reality, followed by chills.
His back went cold, his head went cold, his heart went ice-cold as well!
"Waa!"
Thinking about his miserable future, Luo Dan’s mental fortitude collapsed, and he slumped to the ground, crying bitterly.
Clatter, the phone fell to the ground, and the leaders who couldn’t see the scene inside yelled frantically.
"Damn, Luo Dan, what’s wrong with you, why is a grown man crying!"
"If you must cry, do it later, first hold your phone up so we can see what’s happening!"
"Right, I want to see how Brother Hao deals with that old ghost Golden Fire!"
The beeping sound made Luo Dan cry even harder with each beep.
He dared not look at the group messages, but he could guess they were ridiculing him mercilessly.
"I’m doomed!"
Luo Dan cried until his tears almost dried out.
On the other side, Qin Hao looked speechlessly at Luo Dan, then focused his gaze back on Golden Fire: "Your Golden Stone Sect’s characteristics truly run in the same vein. Jin Yi would never have guessed he’s the one with the most backbone in the entire Sect."
Hearing the sarcasm, Golden Fire was internally furious but didn’t dare rebut.
At this point, Qin Hao, apart from pride, also sighed: "Old turtle, don’t blame me for being cruel. Just ask yourself honestly, if I were the one injured yesterday, would you spare me?"
Golden Fire instinctively shivered, horrified, and said, "If you spare me, I can offer you the Golden Stone Sect’s most powerful Secret Technique!"
Qin Hao sneered, "I’ve already broken the Golden Bell Shield; do you think I need your Martial Arts?"
Golden Fire became even more terrified, knowing if he hesitated, he might not survive today. He shouted, "The Vajra Stone Technique is even stronger than the Golden Bell Shield, but it requires immense physical endurance. If I could practice the Vajra Stone Technique, even your Wumei Finger couldn’t penetrate it. This ultimate martial art would be immensely valuable to you!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao couldn’t help but be intrigued. A defensive technique stronger than the Golden Bell Shield?
Currently, his Martial Arts were diverse, but he mostly specialized in offensive skills, lacking in defense.
If Golden Fire wasn’t exaggerating, learning this Vajra Stone Technique could patch up his defensive shortcomings.
Wouldn’t that make him invincible in both attack and defense in the future?
While Qin Hao pondered, a flurry of thoughts passed through Golden Fire’s mind, eventually leading to a desire to escape out of fear.
He looked up, seeing Qin Hao deep in thought, and Golden Fire was instantly jubilant, knowing this was a rare chance to escape, so he secretly utilized a Secret Technique.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Golden Fire’s withered figure became elongated, his loose skin tightened, wrinkles on his face reduced, and he seemed to have become thirty years younger!
Qin Hao was still pondering when he suddenly felt a rush of air. As he dodged backward, he saw the rejuvenated Golden Fire turn into a blur and streak out wildly!
