Chapter 848 - Just how strong is he?
GDK 848: Just how strong is he?
Polo did not expect that Han Hao would suddenly appear on the battlefield at this moment. He was astounded. Wearing an astonished expression, he asked, “Why are you here?”
There was not a shred of emotion on Han Hao’s face. His eyes were staring fixedly on Kage as though he was not surrounded in a chaotic battle scene. He replied, “Same as you – to kill!”
Polo stared blankly at Han Hao for a moment before he suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Well then, by all means, please proceed – he’s all yours. That’d save me some energy.”
As if Kage wasn’t already troubled enough by Polo, Han Hao had suddenly appeared to give him a bigger headache. Kage looked at Han Hao puzzlingly. He looked back in his memories and was certain that he had never met Han Hao before. “Who are you? I don’t remember meeting you. You are not one of my rivals.”
“You have recently raided a caravan carrying ores and minerals and slaughtered a bunch of them, did you?” asked Han Hao in a cold voice instead of immediately attacking Kage.
Polo’s followers were still attacking Kage’s. Soon, several more of Kage’s followers died by having their divine energy sucked dry. The godhunters’ made wild, loud battle cries as they flew all around, intercepting their victims who were trying to escape.
Kage felt more and more worried and for the first time in a long time, he felt regretful. His followers were being brutally murdered but he did not know how to handle the situation. It was obvious that Polo wouldn’t have attempted the assassination without bringing forces of much greater strength and quantity than that of Kage’s. He knew that escape would be very difficult.
“That’s right, I plundered a batch of ores not too long ago,” Kage did not deny the accusation, “But what has that got to do with you? You sure weren’t there at that time. The only person that escaped wasn’t as powerful as you.”
Han Hao nodded and replied, “The one who escaped is my friend. I’m here to chop your head off and bring it to him.”
<i>It’s venomous!</i> Kage was greatly alarmed and horrified.
After having fought Han Hao for a while, Kage discovered that the emotionless Han Hao was simply the perfect killing machine that doesn’t make any mistakes. He saw that Han Hao had displayed not a single emotion throughout the battle. He was like a chess grandmaster, calmly and systematically eliminating his opponent’s pieces and pushing them closer and closer to defeat with every move.
<i>Who the hell is this person? Is he even a person? How is it even possible that he doesn’t have the slightest bit of emotion?</i> The fear in Kage’s mind grew as he fought Han Hao.
Han Hao might be slightly better than Han Shuo at understanding and using the Nine Changes realm. Perhaps it was due to the unique circumstances of his genesis, Little Skeleton would not feel the slightest emotion when he fought others. This allowed him to achieve absolute calmness of the heart and soul, entering the optimal realm state every time.
One would be able to fight at his fullest potential if one was able to stay completely calm in a battle and not be affected by the opponent’s provocative languages. Kage came to recognize just how terrifying it was to fight someone who could do so.
<i>Pow!</i> A burst of the aura of death erupted from a bone spur and it slammed Kage, causing him to stagger backward.
The other bone spurs that had been lying in wait suddenly swarmed at him. Three of them broke through Kage’s defenses and pierced his back.
Han Hao suddenly stopped attacking. He looked at the dying Kage and said in an indifferent voice, “Those followers of yours in your underground base – I’ve killed them all. The savings you had – I’ve taken them all!”
When Han Hao finished those words, the three bone spurs stabbing on Kage suddenly turned alive and started boring into his body like worms.
<i>CrackCrack… CrackCrack… </i> Bone-chilling noises started playing from inside Kage. Then, suddenly, blood spurted out from every one of his orifices. He was visibly losing vitality as blood escaped from his body.
The three-meter long bone spear cut across his neck and sent his head spinning into the air. The bone spurs caught the flying severed head and carried it into the glass container that Little Skeleton had prepared.
<i>Splat!</i> Kage’s body that lost it’s head abruptly exploded. The three bone spurs looked as though fed leeches and returned to Han Hao’s spine.
By now, all of Kage’s followers had been killed. Polo and his godhunters were staring foolishly at Han Hao. They had witnessed Han Hao mercilessly murder Kage and saw absolutely no emotion on Han Hao’s face. It was as though Han Hao was so used to doing it that he was numbed by it.
<i>No wonder Chief would value him so highly. This teenager is truly terrifying. He is ruthless and merciless at such a young age, not to mention powerful. He is destined to achieve greatness!</i> thought Kodiak. He suddenly felt that Polo’s judgment power was almost as extraordinary as Han Hao.
“Ermm… Han Hao, I guess I owe you a thank you,” Polo was between laughter and tears. His original plan was to kill Kage and bring his head to Han Hao as a gift. But out of his expectation, Han Hao appeared out of nowhere and killed Kage himself. With that, instead of Han Hao owing Polo a favor, it was Polo who owed Han Hao a favor.
Han Hao turned to look at Polo emotionlessly. He nodded and replied, “You are welcome. You have taken care of Kage’s followers for me. We have the same goal. We don’t owe each other anything.”
“Well, all right then.” Polo thought for a moment before he asked, “If Salas investigates Kage’s death, what are you going to do?”
“Just find a few scapegoats nearby and throw their bodies here. Make it look like it was the other four Sovereigns who did it,” Han Hao bunched his brows slightly and continued, “Kage is just an insignificant character. I doubt that Salas cared about him as much as Kage thought he would.”
Polo nodded, put on a mischievous smile and said, “Indeed, we shall make it so!”
