Chapter 72: The Fall of the Salou Family (Part 2)
"You think I'm dead? It's not that easy." Haitian sneered coldly. But to be honest, he really did almost die twice.
If it wasn't for accidentally learning the Dance of Air, and the timely appearance of Weihuo and Tuoka, he would probably have to go see Marx. Just thinking about this made Haitian extremely angry.
"Pari, I remember warning you not to mess with me, but you didn't listen. Now it's time for you to pay the price." Haitian had made up his mind to thoroughly settle the trouble with Pari once and for all.
"You want to kill me? Ha Tian, you're still a bit too tender." Perhaps realizing that he might not be able to escape today, Pa Li completely tore off his fake mask and loudly shouted, "I am a five-star great sword master, how could I be killed by a small swordsman like you?"
"Indeed, you are very formidable, I can't kill you, but there is someone who can. "Haitian glanced at the ignorant Parry with disdain, then turned to Boshu and said, "Parry will trouble you."
"Yes!" Bo Shu was brought over by Hai Tian precisely for this matter. After all, with Hai Tian's current strength, it wasn't difficult to escape from Pa Li's hands, but killing him would be more troublesome.
Not far away, Pari was smiling complacently, believing that Haitian would never be able to kill him. But when he saw Boshu walk out, Pari was startled: "Lord Boshu, how did you end up here?"
"On the orders of Patriarch Tai Shi, I have come to take your life!" Bo Shu said coldly. If it weren't for Pari and his Saru family, the Xumi Da family wouldn't have provoked Shanghai Tian, nor would they have been scolded by his father, Tuo Ka.
At this thought, Bogu's eyes were also filled with anger.
However, Parry on the opposite side was stunned and asked tremulously: "Bo Shu, what did you just say? Taishi Uncle?"
"Not bad, his great-uncle is actually me." Hai Tian smiled and stood up, looking at the flustered Pari with disdain, as if he was a clown.
Pa Li's gaze turned to Bo Shu in surprise, as if asking a question.
However, Bo Shu shattered Pa Li's last hope, nodded lightly to show his acknowledgment, and Hai Tian was indeed his great-uncle.
Mentioning this generation gap, even if Bo Shu's mind was focused on cultivation, he still felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. The young man in front of him was actually many generations older than him, and a wry smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Seeing Bo Shu's smile, Pa Li's last straw of hope was also broken, his eyes became quite empty and dull, as if he had completely lost his soul.
"Let's get started and finish it as soon as possible!" Haitian said coldly.
Bo Shu nodded, raised the sword in his hand, and let out a low growl. A patch of cyan light burst forth from the blade, illuminating the entire Sa Lu family with an eerie glow.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, a mighty sword energy burst out and directly slammed onto Parry who was in a daze.
"Boom!" The smoke and dust filled the sky, how could Parina, the five-star great swordmaster's strength possibly withstand Boge's Sword King?
His body heavily flew out, and fresh blood slowly flowed out of Parry's nostrils.
It's also unknown who shouted first, "The clan leader is dead!" The remaining swordsmen of the Saru family were shocked and one by one gave up fighting, quickly fleeing in all directions.
Baruoben wanted to lead his men in pursuit, but Haitian stopped him from doing so.
"What about the outcome of the battle?" Haotian asked with concern.
"We've taken down a total of thirty-one swordsmen and two sword masters. The rest have all fled." Barlu reported after taking stock.
Haitian nodded: "What about our side? No casualties?"
"With such a huge advantage, how could we possibly lose? However, there were indeed a few people injured." It seemed that the mission had been perfectly completed, and Baru also had the heart to joke with Haitian.
"It's good that no one died, this is a bit of money, go and give it to the injured brothers as compensation. The rest can be divided among everyone." Haitian took out several pouches of money from his storage ring and handed them over to Balu.
"This made Baru extremely surprised and hastily called out: 'Sir, how can this be? We are all following you. If we still have to pay money, then what's the difference between us and an ordinary mercenary group?'"
"Take it, even if you don't want it, it doesn't mean those brothers won't want it." Hai Tian said with a warm smile. "After returning, instruct the brothers to take good care of their injuries and increase their cultivation. Strive for every one of them to reach the level of Sword Master within half a year. Whoever reaches Sword Master first, I'll give that person a yellow-grade sword!"
"Really, sir?" The sword was undoubtedly a treasured gem for low-ranking swordsmen like them.
Haitian's face turned stern, and he said in a cold voice, "When have I ever gone back on my word? Here, this is the yellow-grade intermediate sword for you." As he spoke, Haitian immediately took out a yellow-grade beginner sword from his storage ring and handed it to Baru.
There are still dozens of yellow-grade sword artifacts in his storage ring, and now maybe some are not enough to share. But don't forget, he also has the super-refining secret method "Nine Layers of Overlapping Waves".
In the future, as long as there are enough materials, won't Huang Jie's sword be available in whatever quantity he wants?
Even Bozhu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but look at Baru with a hint of envy. He had only obtained a yellow mid-grade sword after becoming a great swordsman, while Baru had already gotten one as a first-star swordsman.
"Thank you, sir!" Taking over the sword, Baru was overjoyed and couldn't help but gaze lovingly at it.
Soon, Baru ran to the brothers and repeated Hai Tian's words. The brothers were stirred up and vowed to work hard on their cultivation.
Looking at Baru and others in excitement, Haitian's face also hung a smile. He deeply felt his own strength, as well as the far-inadequate power.
If he himself has great strength, why rely on trickery? The feeling of relying on others is very unpleasant. Moreover, even if one becomes strong, they will only become a master like him in the past and can never become an overlord like Jiuxiao Temple.
Since he chose to confront the Jiuxiao Temple, his own efforts would be far from enough; he had to establish his own power. And at this time, people like Baru would become the core of his future power.
Back in Liu Ling City, he simply handed over and went back to his room for seven days without coming out. This made Toka anxious, turning circles at the door every day.
"Old Tuo Ka is here again to see Tian Ge?" The voice of Xiao Yu came from outside the door.
Because Hai Tian is going into seclusion for cultivation, he ordered that no one except Xiao Yu is allowed to enter, not even Toka.
"Light rain, has Master Shifu woken up?" Toka smiled awkwardly. Hai Tian had just arrived at Liu Ling City and was planning to take him on a tour around the city to show off its beauty, but unexpectedly Hai Tian went into seclusion instead.
"Am I that old?" Haitian's voice suddenly came from inside the house, followed by a creaking sound, and the door was opened. Haitian walked out of the room with a full spirit.
"Brother Tian!" "Master Uncle!" Xiaoyu and Tuo Ka exclaimed in unison as they saw Haitian. However, Tuo Ka's face was filled with embarrassment, for indeed, based on Haitian's appearance and age, he couldn't be considered an old man.
"Master Uncle, you're going to break through again?" It has to be said that Toka's strength as a 9-star Sword Emperor is not fake. As soon as he saw Haitian, he immediately sensed the intense changes beginning to occur within his body.
Even though Hai Tian had carefully retracted his aura, some of it still leaked out.
"Hai Tian nodded with a smile: "Not bad, I'm about to break through to the 9-star swordsman. But now my heart feels a bit off, so I came out for some fresh air. What brings you here?"
"Master Shifu is truly a genius, he became a 9-star swordsman at the age of 13." Toka couldn't help but praise him sincerely, but in an instant, he felt that this flattery seemed to be misplaced.
To be honest, Haitian's age is already several hundred years old, but Tuo Ka said he was only thirteen years old, which made his face quite embarrassing, and for a while, he couldn't say anything.
Haitian didn't seem to care about it and chuckled: "Where's Wei He?"
"Shibo is drinking tea, are you going too, Shishu?" Toka asked in puzzlement.
"Go, call him up, and the four of us will go to Liu Ling City together. Can't just come to your place without going anywhere else, right? If Lao Gui finds out later, he'll laugh me to death!" Hai Tian made up his mind to take a good stroll around Liu Ling City.
Tuo Ka smiled and nodded hastily, then quickly dodged away.
Before long, he came over with Wei He, and Hai Tian noticed that there was another person following behind Wei He, who was none other than Wei Hai, who had been left in Blackstone City earlier.
"Brother Tian!" As soon as he saw Hai Tian, Xiao Wei Hai also excitedly called out.
"Are you Little Hai? How did you end up here too?" Sea Sky was shocked and opened his mouth, having forgotten to pick up Wei Hai when he went to Black Stone City earlier.
"It was Grandfather who sent someone to bring me here." Wei Hai Tian replied sincerely.
Haitian smiled and nodded, pointing to the little rain behind him: "This is Little Rain, my younger brother. Little Rain, this is Wei Hai, also considered my younger brother, you two should get closer in the future."
"That's unnecessary, we've known each other for a long time." Xiaoyu and Weihai gave Haitian a disdainful look at the same time, leaving Haitian laughing and crying.
"Master, during the few days you were in seclusion, Xiaohai and Xiaoyu have become good friends. They play together very happily."
"That's pretty good." Although Haitian and Xiaoyu were about the same age, after all, there was a soul from the previous life in Haitian, who looked much more mature than Xiaoyu.
Xiao Hai is a standard little kid now, and Xiao Yu likes playing with Xiao Hai more.
"Alright, everyone is here, let's set off."
