The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Seriousness

Hao Zhao was also a man with a golden mask already so close to each other, where each of the two had also swung their swords as if they were ready to finish off their opponents.

“Now," murmured Hao Zhao as he flowed his sword with deep energy.

Tankkk!!!

A violent clash between the two sword blades rang out, Hao Zhao's face was shocked as it turned out that his opponent was doing the same thing as him making a mutual clashing inner explosive force appear.

Hao Zhao had to step back quite a distance because of the explosion, where his opponent unexpectedly also did the same sign of internal energy that had happened also could not be held back by the man's body.

“Heavenly Tiger Eyes," Hao Zhao muttered before a bluish glow of light appeared around his eyes.

Hao Zhao immediately set his sights on the man with the golden-coloured mask wanting to ascertain something, where it immediately became apparent the strength level of the man who was an Intermediate stage Soul swordsman.

“His strength is one stage higher than mine, seeing that it can only draw my sword swing means that his strength level is not perfect at all" Hao Zhao muttered trying to analyze the reason for the incident.

The difference between the stages is not at all simple in fact, where if there is one swordsman with a higher stage then it should be able to face several warriors with stages below him at once.

That was what it should be, even though it seemed like the difference in the similar stages did not have much effect on Hao Zhao making himself question, whether his actions had been too careful was a mistake to look at the opponent he was wary of was not as strong as what was imagined by him.

“I understand now, he is only focused on increasing strength no matter the refinement at each stage. If it's like this then there's nothing for me to be afraid of" Hao Zhao said with a smile on his face.

In contrast to Hao Zhao, the man with the golden-colored mask seemed to be staring at Hao Zhao in disbelief. Where as so unexpected as he was someone below his power stage could exchange attacks with such a draw when he had already used all his profound energy.

“Hey, are you guys going to be quiet like this? Quickly prepare and help me take care of it," said the man with a golden-coloured mask to Tang Pei as well as the iron masked man.

Both Tang Pei and the iron masked man immediately frowned they heard that, both of them had thought there was no need to do anything because the man with the golden-colored mask was the strongest among them.

Now asking both of them to take part in the fight of course both of them began to guess, where the most powerful guess is Hao Zhao who is too difficult like for a man with a golden-colored mask to take care of himself.

“Stop thinking a lot, he is an Early stage Soul swordsman. Although I can finish him off alone but it will be troublesome so you better help me, ' said the man with a golden mask, like so understand that he began to be doubted by the two people.

“What? Early stage Soul Swordsman? Does it even make sense that a person as young as himself could have such a high level of strength?" Tang Pei was filled with disbelief.

Where the fact clearly disconnected Tang Pei's assumption that Hao Zhao used an heirloom to hide his power level, so that he could not check Hao Zhao's strength level at all.

Similar to Tang Pei, the iron masked man was just as shocked. He still remembered very well that Hao Zhao's level of strength was similar to him during their first meeting not long ago, either, where this was at once explained the reason why he could no longer check Hao Zhao's current strength level.

“Wait, do-don't ...."

The iron masked man immediately directed his inner energy at Hao Zhao, where immediately frowned he realized that Hao Zhao was the one he had been looking for as the mastermind of the destruction of the headquarters of the bandit group near there.

“What's up? Is something wrong?" ask the man with the golden mask on the iron masked man.

Tang Pei understood what the two were talking about, she also had time to hear from the mouths of the two members of the Iron Mask what their purpose was when meeting him.

Where the one thing that Tang Pei did not expect at all was the fact that it turned out that Hao Zhao was the figure of all sorts of weirdness in Dahan Gugur city that he had heard.

“The explosion on the top floor of the Treasure Lantern, is it because of the rate increase you managed to do?" asked the iron masked man to Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao just stared at the iron masked man in silence before saying, “You asked a sure thing like that for what?"

The iron masked man had gritted his teeth hearing such an answer from Hao Zhao's mouth, where he tried to resist his wrath to ask Hao Zhao another question.

“Someone who leveled the bandit headquarters near here not long ago, are you also the one?"

Hao Zhao only raised his eyebrows before smiling lightly, after which he said, “I just felt that the previous city lord was not so muddy as to let a criminal group like them just like that, after all, that's why I thought it wouldn't hurt for me to take action to take care of them."

Hearing that the iron masked man began to be ready to raise his sword, after which he again said, “Last question, are you also the one who dared to offend the empire by eliminating the Gang noble family?"

Hao Zhao only grinned at this, remaining silent for a long time before Hao Zhao decided to speak again, “Why do you keep asking, are you interrogating me or what?"

The iron-masked swordsman immediately glanced at Tang Pei as well as the man with the golden-coloured mask, as if waiting for their response related to Hao Zhao.

“The purpose of our cooperation is clear, you guys help me take revenge on him then I will help you find the mastermind of the Gang family massacre as well as the bandit group that you are currently usurping. Now that everything is clear the target is the same person then everything will be much easier" said Tang Pei with his sword that has been drained of power in the air.

“Do not ask my opinion, my goal sent by the emperor to this city is to help you conduct an investigation. Now the target is in front of us so what are you waiting for?" Man with golden mask.

Where still felt furious the man with a golden mask did not accept the fact that Hao Zhao was able to compensate.

“Then there's nothing more we need to talk about, after all each of us does have our own business with this haughty Boy!" exclaimed the iron masked man while taking a step.

Tang Pei was also the man with the golden-coloured mask immediately following after, where each of them began to be ready to swing his sword by making Hao Zhao as targeted.

Hao Zhao saw that he only had a small laugh before saying, “Hey, I haven't even answered his question. Why do you feel like you've decided to make me the scapegoat of the Gang family's queen?"

“Everything's clear, Goddamn kid!" The three in unison as they continued to dart towards Hao Zhao.

“Oh, like that. Then it's all clear to me, too, that you're making someone who's not at all involved the target of your rotten plan," said Hao Zhao completely did not forget about what had just happened to Jian San.

Where afterwards immediately flowed a deep energy on the sword in his hand what Hao Zhao did, which not long after that Hao Zhao started moving as if dancing in his place.

“Dance of the Heavenly Tiger Sword."

That was what Hao Zhao had said before doing his sword dance, a sign that Hao Zhao really had the desire to finish off the three at once there.
