The silent atmosphere after Li Hao said so, he shook his head slowly and thought that the voice just now was his hallucination alone.
"I said it..."
When Li Hao was about to turn around and return to walking, he widened his eyes slightly when he heard the source of the sound coming from a wolf that was the largest in size.
"You...?" Li Hao asked to make sure he was not crazy, while the wolf nodded its head.
"Before we exchange names, I thank you for saving us from those bastards." The biggest wolf lowered its head, I said, although his injuries were quite severe but he still forced himself to do so.
Li Hao widened his eyes even more as he was so surprised by the situation, he does know that certain animals are able to speak human language but he did not think that this kind of incident would happen to him.
"Y-yes... You're welcome." Li Hao retorted after calming himself down, "My name is Li Hao, what is your name?"
"I am the Cien, while they are my children." The Cien replied calmly, then asked, "Are you in this forest to hunt?"
"Yes, at first it was. But because of the evilness, I got accidentally stuck here." Li Hao smiled bitterly as he scratched his non-itchy head, "Do you know the way out?"
"Yes, I can show you..." The Cien replied, then looked at the wound, "But I need some time until I can move freely, maybe tomorrow or the day after. Can you wait that long?"
Li Hao did not immediately reply but thought about it for a moment, then he nodded his head and replied, "Alright..."
The wolf also gave a small nod, then with his children rested near a fairly large rock. Meanwhile, Li Hao sat on a large tree not far from there, perhaps for the time being he would rest while checking his status screen.
"Hm, my vitality is too low. Should I increase?" Li Hao stroked his chin, then shook his head slowly, "No, no. I'll improve it when the situation requires it..."
Li Hao continued to look at the screen of his status until he was satisfied, he then turned his gaze on the wolves then looked at him in silence.
All wolves have a different appearance from wolves in general, they have silver fur with bright green eyes. In addition, there is a horn as high as 50 centimeters above the head of the largest wolf, while the three cubs only have less than 10 centimeters.
"What kind of wolves are they, huh? I've never seen traits like them before..." Li Hao asked inwardly, and a moment after that he took out the Wind sword as it heard a rustling sound from a distance.
Si Cien and his three children who saw Li Hao suddenly pulled out a sword immediately rose to their feet and became alert, noticing, they turned their eyes towards the direction the human was looking at and before long they found two humans each of whom had raised another human corpse.
"Well, what the hell is this? Why is there a kid here?" a middle-aged man who had incision scars along his body slightly put on a surprised expression.
"Still a brat but already at the Qi Refinement level? Does he have a big background?" a younger man wondered, he did not have anything conspicuous on his body and only wore a black cloth face cover.
"Ah, are you bandits or assassins?" Li Hao asked casually, but his vigilance was quite high at the moment.
"There is not the slightest trace of fear in your eyes, interesting.." the middle-aged man covered in incision scars smiled faintly, then threw the corpse he carried to the ground, "I think we should eliminate the eyewitnesses before we throw them away."
The middle-aged man's friend also threw away the corpse he was carrying, the two then took out their respective weapons then without much thought directly moved forward attacking Li Hao.
Li Hao himself clucked softly before responding to the attack launched by the two people. Meanwhile, Si Cien and his children were hiding in the distance because they could sense that the two humans Li Hao was a Qi Refinement cultivator.
The exchange of attacks lasted for ten minutes, and Li Hao was still unable to inflict injuries on his opponent as well as the other way around.
"They're strong..." Li Hao said inwardly, although he still hadn't pulled out his sword technique but he acknowledged their skill in swordsmanship, "I guess there's no other choice."
Li Hao did not feel confident that he would benefit from exchanging attacks any longer, he then executed the first movement of the Seven Star Movement and managed to get both opponents in a cornered position.
"What the fuck is this boy! Why does he have such a powerful technique?!" the man with the cloth covering his face gnashed his teeth.
His colleague did not respond but he also questioned the same thing, the area around became damaged and many trees were uprooted due to the young man's technique.
Li Hao did not remain silent after the first movement ended, he attacked again aggressively and when the moment was right he immediately executed the second movement.
Star Puncture!
Without a doubt Li Hao flowed a large amount of Qi into the second movement, and a huge explosion followed.
A duuar!
The Star Stab executed by Li Hao managed to get the man wearing the face cover killed instantly with the body split in two, while his companion fled with his right hand severed.
Li Hao had wanted to chase after that person but he had abandoned his intention because he could not necessarily catch up to him in a short time, let alone he could have led him to a place where there were people waiting.
Li Hao could have increased his Agility so as not to worry about it, but he thought the action was quite rash and less efficient.
"I wish they were just ordinary bandits..." Li Hao exhaled through his mouth before turning around and looking at the two corpses that were not far apart, "I have to quickly get out of here, but it's good to bury them first."
Li Hao slowly walked up to the two corpses, seeing them die a little hard made him feel pity. Before he buried them, he first examined the items the two had brought.
After examining the two corpses, Li Hao found a folded sheet of paper. Although disrespectful, he still saw the contents written on the paper.
'The Black Lotus Sect wants to create war! They would create chaos in Luoyang city by the time the Free Tournament took place! Please stop them! A terrible war would ensue if their plan succeeded!'
Li Hao widened his eyes when he saw the contents of the sheet, his heart pounding and his eyes immediately looked for where Si Cien was.
