Even as Xu Da drew his Han Mang Sword, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.
Lin Hao’s brow furrowed slightly at the sudden appearance of Xu Da.
Two Grandmasters were indeed troublesome.
But it wasn't a significant problem.
It was a good opportunity to hone his control over spiritual energy.
Facing two Grandmasters simultaneously should provide him with some pressure.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Hao was about to make his move.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
“Senior Brother!”
Xiao Hei shouted, rushing towards the shore.
Accompanying him were Hua Yu and several clansmen and disciples of the Hua family.
Following them, ordinary people who couldn't fight, such as Li Qingyuan and Zhao Weijun, also arrived at the shore by car.
Among these ordinary people, two individuals looked on at the water with a mix of apprehension and excitement.
These two were none other than the elder of the Zhou family, Old Master Zhou Renbing, and the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Kehu.
They gazed at the lake.
Although they had immense faith in Hua Xian, seeing him disheveled and in a sorry state made them feel uneasy and uncertain.
Logically, Hua Xian should have already defeated Lin Hao.
But now…
Lin Hao stood on the water, unharmed, while Hua Xian appeared rather disheveled.
As Zhou Renbing and Zhao Kehu observed the scene on the water with unease, Lin Hao turned to the approaching Xiao Hei and asked, “Why are you here? Where’s the infant?”
“Rescued and safely returned.”
“That’s good,” Lin Hao nodded, then added, “You should return to the shore. Be careful not to get hurt.”
“No need. I feel this is an opportunity!” Xiao Hei said, looking at Xu Da and Hua Xian.
“An opportunity?”
“What opportunity?” Lin Hao asked Xiao Hei, confused.
“An opportunity for me to break through!” Xiao Hei grinned.
Lin Hao was taken aback, then understood Xiao Hei’s intention.
Xiao Hei’s strength had already reached the peak of internal energy, and his internal energy was different from that of ordinary people.
Although Xiao Hei was at the peak of internal energy, Lin Hao believed that Xiao Hei could fight ten equally powerful Grandmasters simultaneously.
However, Lin Hao was unsure how he would fare against Grandmasters.
Of course, Lin Hao wouldn't stop Xiao Hei from using Grandmasters like Hua Xian and Xu Da to break through.
After all, Xiao Hei’s realm was already perfect, just a step away from becoming a Grandmaster.
Perhaps under the immense pressure of Grandmasters, his potential would erupt, and he might even break through.
With these thoughts, Lin Hao nodded and said, “Alright, be careful.”
“Mm.”
Xiao Hei nodded, then pointed at Xu Da and said, “Then I’ll deal with him.”
“No,” Lin Hao shook his head, then looked at Hua Xian and said, “You deal with him.”
“The sword that person is holding is quite something. Let me handle it.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Hei nodded, then stomped on the water and proactively attacked Hua Xian.
Lin Hao, while dedicating half his attention to Xiao Hei’s movements, looked at Xu Da and said, “Come on, use your strongest power.”
Hearing Lin Hao’s words and seeing him standing on the water with his hands behind his back, Xu Da’s face flushed with anger!
“Kid, since you’re seeking death, don’t blame me for being ruthless with my sword!”
Xu Da snorted in anger, raised his Han Mang Sword, and it let out a clear hum.
Then, gripping the Han Mang Sword, Xu Da leaped forward like lightning, thrusting directly at Lin Hao!
As the Han Mang Sword emerged, before its blade even reached, a point of cold light shot towards Lin Hao’s forehead like a meteor.
From a distance, Lin Hao could already feel the sharp, killing intent.
“It truly is a treasured sword, perhaps not inferior to that ancient bronze sword.”
Lin Hao nodded inwardly and remained still, waiting for the Han Mang Sword to strike.
Hua Xian’s full-force attack earlier had failed to break through the Vajra Seal.
Lin Hao wanted to test the sturdiness of this Vajra Seal, to see if Xu Da’s Han Mang Sword could pierce it.
If it still couldn’t, then the Vajra Seal he had manifested might even be able to stop armor-piercing rounds.
As Lin Hao pondered this, standing motionless, Xu Da, who had been thrusting forward like lightning with the Han Mang Sword, was stunned to see Lin Hao standing still.
His first thought was whether Lin Hao was plotting some scheme.
However, he immediately shook his head.
His Han Mang Sword was already upon him; even if Lin Hao was indeed plotting something, he could break it with a single sword strike!
With these thoughts, Xu Da snorted, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed into the Han Mang Sword.
Instantly, the blade of the Han Mang Sword erupted with a circle of cold light.
At the same time, the initial point of cold light seemed to be stimulated, instantly doubling in size.
Furthermore, the speed of that point of light broke through Mach 2, shooting directly towards Lin Hao’s forehead!
Lin Hao, sensing the icy chill carried by the Han Mang Sword, had his Heavenly Gang Seal ready.
If the Vajra Seal couldn’t withstand the cold light, he would immediately unleash the Heavenly Gang Seal.
After all, this was an ancient sword, like the ancient bronze sword, and he couldn’t be careless.
Moreover, the spot Xu Da was attacking was his forehead, a fatal location.
In such a place, a single mistake could cost him his life.
Therefore, even though Lin Hao wanted to test the sturdiness of the Vajra Seal, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
“Swish!”
The speed of that point of cold light was so immense that it produced a sonic boom.
In the next second, the meteor-like cold light directly pierced towards Lin Hao’s forehead!
Simultaneously, a faint golden halo appeared on Lin Hao’s forehead, blocking the cold light from penetrating.
However, the faint golden halo that appeared on Lin Hao’s forehead was visibly strained, on the verge of collapse.
The faint golden halo was like an inflated balloon being pressed and poked by a finger.
It could explode at any moment.
Lin Hao sensed this situation.
He directly unleashed the Heavenly Gang Seal with his hand.
And just as Lin Hao unleashed the Heavenly Gang Seal, the Vajra Seal on his forehead was instantly pierced by that point of cold light.
However, just as that point of cold light was about to pierce Lin Hao’s forehead directly,
A layer of cyan-green halo instantly appeared around Lin Hao’s body.
As the cyan-green halo emerged, it immediately blocked that point of cold light outside his forehead.
Although the point of cold light desperately wanted to pierce Lin Hao’s forehead, it ultimately ran out of power and dissipated.
Initially, Xu Da was overjoyed to see the point of cold light from his Han Mang Sword pierce Lin Hao’s golden protective aura.
But before his smile could fully form, he saw another cyan-green protective aura instantly appear around Lin Hao’s body.
Moreover, as soon as this cyan-green protective aura appeared, it actually annihilated the point of cold light from his Han Mang Sword!
