He opened his eyes, his gaze as piercing as torchlight.

"Sword Qi! Vanish!" Chen Hao said coldly.

In that moment, he felt a connection with the ruthless sword in his hand.

It could be said that the ruthless sword had become an extension of his hand; to be precise, he had become the ruthless sword. This is what is meant by "the sword is in the man, the man is in the sword, they are as one!"

Chen Hao finally understood why sometimes Ye Heng did not draw his sword, yet he would kill a man within ten steps, and slaughter thousands within a hundred steps.

Because man is a sword in essence, there is no need to draw another!

A flash of sword light, and the glare of its chill brilliance overshadowed the glow of the streetlamps on either side of the road.

"Whoosh whoosh" sounded urgently!

Two swirls of inner strength, like swift winds, collided, shaking the withered branches and leaves from the surrounding dead trees!

When the sound of the wind settled down, Chen Hao still stood there, while the lame zombie's body had been split in two!

Ye Yuqiao, standing behind Chen Hao, was stunned. In the moment when Chen Hao and the lame one had drawn near each other, she saw Chen Hao pass through the lame one's body like a gust of wind.

This reminded her of Ye Heng. The year Ye Heng turned thirty, he was surrounded by a group of enemies. Ye Yuqiao clearly remembered that it had only been an instant—a flash of lightning—and Ye Heng had broken out of the crowd. After that, he took three slow steps, and the enemies surrounding him all fell, leaving no one alive.

"Yuqiao," Chen Hao turned his head and smiled at Ye Yuqiao, his pale face still tinged with a cold murderous intent.

"Where is your ruthless sword?" Ye Yuqiao asked, for she did not see that ruthless sword in Chen Hao's hands.

Chen Hao walked up to Ye Yuqiao.

Accompanied by a "whoosh," the ruthless sword appeared in Chen Hao's right hand.

"This sword can now merge into my body!" Chen Hao explained.

Ye Yuqiao's eyes flickered with astonishment, finding it unbelievable. Initially, Ye Heng simply did not use his sword, and he hadn't managed to integrate the sword into his body like Chen Hao had now.

Thinking it over, Ye Yuqiao suddenly realized. This sword was modified with Netherworld xuan iron, and Netherworld xuan iron could merge into one's Yin Soul.

"Whoosh!" The ruthless sword disappeared from sight.

Chen Hao opened his arms and embraced Ye Yuqiao, saying, "Now only Wang Chuan is left!"

"Mm!"

Chen Hao took out his phone and dialed Tang Chao's number.

It wasn't until the ringtone had sounded eight times that Tang Chao answered the call, his voice urgent, "Chen Hao, come quick to the orchard east of the candy factory, Wang Chuan is here!"

"Beep beep beep!" The call from Tang Chao's end was cut off.

"Let's hurry over!" Ye Yuqiao said, immediately turning into a shadow and whisking Chen Hao away under the streetlights.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived on the roof of the candy factory's building.

"Roar!" The roar of a zombie immediately reached their ears.

After looking eastward, Chen Hao promptly picked up Ye Yuqiao and, using qinggong, dashed toward the dark night where the zombie's roar originated.

Half a minute later, after spotting two blood-red glows flickering among the trees below, they landed in the cold wind and the night sky.

"Chen Hao, you've arrived!" Tang Jing and Tang Chao said in unison.

Chen Hao, holding Ye Yuqiao's hand, walked over to Tang Jing and Tang Chao, his gaze fixed ahead. There, Xie Xiaofeng and Man Qingting were confronting Wang Chuan.

Xie Xiaofeng attempted to use earthen walls and vines to bind Wang Chuan, but his moves were dissolved in an instant by Wang Chuan, with the mounds and vines emerging from the ground being washed away with water;

Man Qingting kept changing her position, one second to the left of Wang Chuan, and the next already behind him. Yet even so, she was still unable to injure Wang Chuan.

After several days of incessantly consuming human blood, Wang Chuan's movements and reflexes had improved to an immeasurable degree. Therefore, every time Man Qingting attacked him, he was always able to dodge at the last moment, or protect himself with Five Elements Spells.

"Junior Brother!" Man Qingting suddenly appeared in front of Chen Hao and gave him a slight smile.

In that moment, Chen Hao clearly felt the strength in Ye Yuqiao's right palm increase significantly, pinching the left hand that was clasped with hers in pain.

"Roar!" The surrounding trees shook violently.

After seeing Chen Hao, Wang Chuan became exceptionally furious, his blood-red eyes, ferocious expression, and violently trembling body all conveyed his hatred and loathing for Chen Hao.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao glared angrily and then let go of Ye Yuqiao's hand to step forward.

"Roar!" Wang Chuan roared again and suddenly leapt in front of Xie Xiaofeng, seizing Xie Xiaofeng's shoulders.

Before Wang Chuan's massively energized hand could tear his body in half, Xie Xiaofeng used the Five Elements Incarnation Technique to transform into a clear spring, slipping from the gaps in Wang Chuan's palm and fingertips as they tore through the surface of his skin.

After hitting the ground, the water from the spring instantly turned into a thick, winding vine, wrapping around Wang Chuan's feet like a long-bodied python.

"Fire Technique, Blazing Fire!" Wang Chuan roared in anger.

A massive fireball erupted from the ground, burning the vine Xie Xiaofeng had transformed into.

"Damn it, I'll leave the rest to you!" Xie Xiaofeng shouted.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Sword Qi filled the sky, like a fierce wind.

In a flash, Chen Hao had reached behind Wang Chuan.

Wang Chuan's roars as well as the smell of zombie dissipated at this moment.

The vine tying Wang Chuan's feet crawled along the ground to one side, then rose and turned back into Xie Xiaofeng.

And Wang Chuan's body split in two long after the vine moved away, falling to the left and right sides respectively.

"What's going on?" Tang Jing exclaimed in shock.

"This is... Sword Qi!" Tang Chao was also astonished. He hadn't expected Chen Hao's inner strength to be so profound at this moment, far surpassing his own. He couldn't help feeling a sense of loss, as the only role and function he could serve among them could now be replaced by Chen Hao.

"You bastard," Xie Xiaofeng was equally surprised, "did you encounter an unrivaled master like in a martial arts novel who then transferred decades of inner strength to you?"

Chen Hao smiled.

However, just as Chen Hao finished smiling and was about to speak, something unexpected happened.

The smell of zombie suddenly permeated the air around them, and Wang Chuan's body that had been split in half was merging!

"Ah!" Everyone looked on in astonishment.

A few seconds later, Wang Chuan, whose body had merged, opened his eyes. He first glanced at Chen Hao from the corner of his eye and gave Chen Hao a smile, then slowly got up.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Wang Chuan sneered at Chen Hao, "These past few days I've sucked a lot of blood, and the Power of the Five Elements within me has surged accordingly, increasing several fold from before. I don't need to absorb the Power of the Five Elements from Xie Xiaofeng anymore; I, Wang Chuan, now have an immortal body too!"

Having said that, Wang Chuan walked up to Chen Hao and instantly transformed into his zombie form in a burst of rage.

The moment Wang Chuan's hands clutched Chen Hao's neck, Chen Hao's Hand of Death also struck his shoulder.

Wang Chuan looked startled; he could already feel the absence of his Yin Soul.

Then, a black-purple Nether Light shot out from Chen Hao's left eye, shining on Wang Chuan's zombie body, now left with only his Yang Spirit and Yang Energy.

"Ssss!" Accompanied by a burst of white smoke, Wang Chuan's Yang Spirit's Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul scattered and drifted into the air.
