    Chapter 277

    Seeing Su Hao charge straight at him with a massive blade in hand, Tang Haiyi sneered.

    He immediately directed the Swift-Winged Wyvern beneath him to retreat at full speed while simultaneously commanding his remaining nine flying summoned beasts to surround the lone child.

    "Bai Jingzhong," he laughed mockingly, "you're undoubtedly talented... but you're still too young."

    "In a battle between summoners, protecting the summoner always comes first."

    "What kind of idiot personally charges into combat?"

    "You're courting death."

    "Now pay the price for your youthful arrogance!"

    His ten fingers spread apart, each controlling a different summoned beast with practiced precision.

    The distance rapidly closed.

    Tang Haiyi hooked his index finger.

    The Acid-Winged Wyvern swooped forward and opened its jaws.

    A torrent of thick, sticky Flame Acid poured toward Su Hao.

    Whoosh!

    The viscous liquid drenched everything around him.

    Immediately afterward—

    Tang Haiyi signaled again.

    The Red-Feathered Fire Phoenix flying nearby spat out a tiny spark.

    Boom!

    The Flame Acid ignited instantly.

    Blue-green fire exploded outward, engulfing Su Hao in a blazing sphere.

    Tang Haiyi burst into laughter.

    This was one of his signature aerial combinations.

    "And that's still not enough!"

    Taking advantage of Su Hao's obscured vision, he curled his thumb.

    The Iron-Feathered Crow behind him spread its wings.

    Whoosh!

    Thousands of razor-sharp iron feathers shot forward like a torrential storm, piercing directly into the burning fireball.

    This was the crow's deadliest skill—

    Poison Feather Barrage.

    Even a single feather was enough to rapidly numb the victim's body.

    With such overwhelming coverage...

    There was no way Bai Jingzhong could dodge.

    Victory was already decided.

    Tang Haiyi finally let out a relieved breath.

    But suddenly—

    The burning sphere began spinning violently.

    A spiraling gale erupted from within.

    The blazing flames were torn apart, opening a huge tunnel through the fire.

    The poisonous feathers were blown backward in every direction.

    Tang Haiyi's smile froze.

    "...What?"

    Before he could react—

    A black-and-white figure burst out of the flames.

    Su Hao.

    Greatsword raised.

    Charging straight toward him.

    Tang Haiyi's pupils shrank.

    Instinctively, he commanded another summoned beast to intercept.

    Its razor claws reached directly for Su Hao's head.

    A flash of steel.

    Feathers scattered through the sky.

    The summoned beast was instantly split cleanly into two halves before crashing toward the ground.

    Su Hao's speed never slowed.

    He slipped past the falling corpse and continued charging directly at Tang Haiyi.

    Tang Haiyi's heartbeat nearly stopped.

    Although there was still plenty of distance between them...

    He had clearly seen it.

    One slash.

    His summoned beast had been cut completely in half.

    "What... was that?"

    Suppressing the fear rising inside him, Tang Haiyi hurriedly issued more commands.

    The beast in front couldn't turn around in time.

    Fortunately...

    Three reserve summoned beasts were already rushing forward.

    They changed direction simultaneously.

    Launching attacks from three different angles.

    Tang Haiyi gritted his teeth.

    "Your blade may be sharp..."

    "But you only have one!"

    "I have three summoned beasts attacking together."

    "Let's see how you deal with this!"

    The next moment—

    Something completely beyond his understanding happened.

    Su Hao merely swung his blade three times.

    Three cold flashes crossed the sky.

    Then—

    All three summoned beasts exploded into pieces.

    Blood sprayed through the air.

    Their dismembered bodies rained toward the ground.

    Tang Haiyi's mind instantly went blank.

    Only one thought remained.

    Run.

    Without the slightest hesitation, he urged the Swift-Winged Wyvern beneath him to flee at full speed.

    It was the fastest flying summoned beast he possessed.

    Even among S-rank summoned beasts, its speed was considered exceptional.

    He had always relied on it whenever pursuit or escape was necessary.

    As long as he escaped...

    He still had a chance.

    Several seconds later...

    Unable to resist, he looked back.

    The instant he did—

    His face turned deathly pale.

    "How... how is that possible?!"

    "Their speed..."

    "How can they be this fast?!"

    He had always believed his Swift-Winged Wyvern was unrivaled in the skies.

    Yet now...

    A summoned beast was effortlessly catching up.

    So the title...

    Sky King...

    Wasn't just for show.

    The Sky King Red-Cheeked Messenger Bird rapidly closed the gap.

    Five meters.

    Four meters.

    Three meters.

    Tang Haiyi could clearly see Su Hao's calm expression.

    His own face, meanwhile, had completely fallen apart.

    Tears.

    Snot.

    Saliva.

    Everything streamed down together.

    His voice trembled uncontrollably.

    "Bai Jingzhong..."

    "Please..."

    "Spare me!"

    "I surrender!"

    "I have money!"

    "I'll give you anything!"

    At the same time, he desperately forced the Swift-Winged Wyvern into a series of sharp rolls and dives, hoping to shake Su Hao off.

    Su Hao remained expressionless.

    He quietly adjusted the grip on his greatsword.

    The Sky King stayed glued behind the fleeing wyvern.

    Tang Haiyi screamed in terror.

    "Don't come over!"

    A single flash.

    The blade swept across the sky.

    Tang Haiyi's head—

    Together with the head of the Swift-Winged Wyvern—

    Flew into the air simultaneously.

    Blood poured down like rain.

    Without even sparing the corpse another glance, Su Hao turned around.

    The remaining summoned beasts, having lost their master's control, had descended into chaos.

    He flew straight toward them.

    One slash.

    Another slash.

    Another.

    One after another...

    Every summoned beast was cleanly cut in half.

    Only after the last corpse fell from the sky did Su Hao slowly lower his sword.

    He turned the Sky King toward Shengshi City.

    There was still another finalist waiting for him.


    ---

    The villa here stood alone in the northern outskirts.

    It had already been obliterated by Su Hao's Level Two — Two Hundred Burst.

    There were no nearby witnesses.

    Nor any surveillance capable of recording what had happened.

    Within his radar's range...

    There wasn't another living person nearby.

    This one-sided massacre...

    Would remain known only to Tang Haiyi.

    And Tang Haiyi...

    Was already dead.


    ---

    Elsewhere...

    The aerial interception squad remained hovering in formation.

    They had been prepared to ambush Su Hao.

    Yet...

    No orders ever came.

    One member couldn't help asking,

    "Captain..."

    "Why haven't we received any instructions yet?"

    The captain, a stubble-faced middle-aged man, frowned while staring at his silent communicator.

    "I don't know."

    "Maybe something delayed them."

    Another member looked toward the northern suburbs.

    "I heard an explosion over there just now."

    "Could it be related?"

    Someone else scratched his head.

    "I'm more worried about one thing."

    "If the mission gets canceled..."

    "Will we still get paid?"


    ---

    After reaching the villa district on the western side of Shengshi City, where Han Renjie was staying, Su Hao descended.

    He found a deserted area.

    Then summoned his remaining nine summoned beasts.

    After transforming into the Steel Armor King, he silently sank underground.

    Using artillery here wasn't appropriate.

    So...

    He changed tactics.

    His plan was simple.

    He would openly send his summoned beasts to attack.

    Let everyone know—

    Bai Jingzhong had arrived.

    There were two reasons.

    First...

    The summoned beasts would draw everyone's attention.

    Meanwhile, Su Hao himself could quietly infiltrate underground, eliminate Han Renjie, and leave without anyone noticing.

    Second...

    It served as a warning.

    He wanted every major force to understand one thing.

    No matter how heavily protected their target was...

    He could still kill them.

    Once they understood that...

    Anyone planning to target him would first have to ask themselves—

    Was it worth risking their own lives?

    Although this would likely provoke even fiercer retaliation...

    Su Hao didn't care.

    Death...

    Had never frightened him.


    ---

    His summoned beasts were discovered almost immediately.

    Sirens blared throughout the estate.

    Security personnel rushed everywhere.

    Chaos spread instantly.

    While everyone focused on the summoned beasts rampaging above ground...

    Su Hao quietly moved beneath Han Renjie's location.

    Steel silently spread beneath the floor.

    Runes rapidly formed.

    Level Two — Lightning.

    A bolt of lightning materialized from thin air.

    Crack!

    It struck Han Renjie directly.

    His body convulsed violently.

    His eyes rolled back.

    He collapsed unconscious.

    Yet—

    The expected sound of his body hitting the floor never came.

    Instead...

    His body suddenly sank into the ground as though falling into water.

    It disappeared completely.

    The room instantly returned to normal.

    Moments later—

    A servant hurried inside.

    "Young Master!"

    "Bai Jingzhong has attacked!"

    "He's right outs—"

    The servant suddenly froze.

    He looked around blankly.

    "...Young Master?"

    "Young Master?"

    He scratched his head.

    "When did he leave?"

    "...Is Young Master playing hide-and-seek with me again?"
