Chapter 764: Chapter 775 This is a Toy

“You people think you’re invincible just because you’re powerful enough to control other people’s lives, but to me, you all are nothing but lowlives!” Chen Hao said coldly.

“Don’t let your guard down, everyone! Get Chen Hao at the same time!” Chen Haotian suggested even as he struggled to recover from his shock. The other seven, uniting against a common enemy, gave it everything they got and charged towards Chen Hao, giving off a huge outburst of vital energy that shook the whole room.

In that instant, debris went flying and dust clouded the air. Just as the seven men charged, a figure casually turned and disappeared while cries rang out throughout the room.

After a while, the dust settled to reveal seven bodies on the ground, killed in the goriest and most grotesque way possible. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was not only safe and sound but practically spotless.

“Not bad! Not bad at all.” Chen Haotian walked out from behind a pillar, except he held a pearl in one hand and clamped his other around Master Ghost’s neck this time, all the while murmuring something fearfully.

Instead of growing nervous, Chen Hao simply stuck his hands in his pockets and asked, “Not bad?

How so?”

“Of course you are. These eight men are considered the cream of the crop in the cultivation world, but none of them could land a single attack on you before they were killed. It seems we’ve underestimated you, Chen Hao! Your power is far superior to ours!” Chen Haotian said. He was using Master Ghost as a hostage and his pearl seemed like no ordinary object; he seemed strangely calm despite his surprised expression.

“I see you’re far smarter than the idiots I’ve met. At least you pulled some tricks just now and didn’t blindly charge to your death.” Chen Hao smiled warmly in a clear, genuine attempt to praise Chen Haotian.

“Ha! Oh, Chen Hao, it’s true that a young man will grow arrogant with power. He thinks he can control everything with it but the truth is, the real tie-breaker in a battle between experts is intelligence!” Chen Haotian said coldly.

“Oh, i-intelligence?” Chen Hao’s jaw almost dropped from mock surprise. “You mean you’re intelligent because you have Master Ghost and a plaything in your hand?” He smiled bitterly.

“Let me tell you, Chen Hao, my nickname in the cultivation world is the Pocket of Wisdom, the Chen family’s Pocket of Wisdom! And did you say this thing in my hand was a toy?”

“Yep, it looks like something a 5-year old would have!” Chen Hao nodded.

“Ha! You’re funny, Chen Hao. I see. Why don’t you let Master Ghost tell you what this is?” Chen Haotian laughed mockingly.

“The Thunder Blast Formation!” Master Ghost said, strong wariness flashing in his eyes.

“Haha! You’re quite knowledgeable, Master Ghost. Yes, this is the Thunder Blast Formation! If I so much as twitch my finger, the formation will be triggered and it’ll wipe out everything within a hundred-

mile radius! You, me and him will all be turned to dust!” Chen Haotian gloated. “It doesn’t matter if I die, Chen Hao. But you, I think you should be more careful with your life now. After all, your family is still being tortured at the Chen Family residence. Haha! With everyone’s lives in my hands, including yours, I think you should know what to do?”

Chen Hao smiled bitterly. “And what do you think I should do, according to you?” Chen Hao took several steps forward, his hands still in his pockets.

“S-Stay away! One more step, and we all die!” Chen Haotian shouted nervously, his face twitching hard.

“What’s wrong, Pocket of Wisdom? You’re getting so worked up just because I moved? There’s something I need to remind you of,” Chen Hao said.

“About what?”

“Do you really think this toy formation of yours can hurt me? What if it doesn’t? Besides, I can kill you as easily as I slaughter a pig. Do you seriously believe this can hurt me?” Chen Hao asked.

“I…” Chen Haotian paled in an instant and he gulped audibly.

It was true that Chen Hao looked perfectly ordinary, but he also possessed an extremely strong aura that unnerved Chen Haotian after what he said, causing his grip on the pearl to slip slightly as sweat beaded on his forehead.

“So, I advise you to think carefully. One wrong step, and I’ll turn you to pieces before you can even trigger the formation. I’m serious when I say that you’ll be watching your own body being dismembered!” Chen Hao said with both hands in his pockets.

“I-I-I…” Chen Haotian was speechless in the face of the gory scene before him; his hands were shaking terribly.

“This is the Thunder Blast Formation?” Chen Hao casually took the pearl once Chen Haotian seemed to be getting weak in the knees. Sure enough, the pearl contained a tiny formation.

“Yes.” Chen Haotian nodded numbly. Immediately, Chen Hao tossed the formation in the air and triggered it.

Now, Chen Haotian’s eyes were wide open; even Master Ghost’s mouth was agape with shock. Once the formation was triggered, a large storm cloud spread over them and just as an earth-shattering storm was brewing, Chen Hao snapped his fingers and exclaimed, “Withdraw!” In an instant, the storm disappeared into smoke.

“What?” Chen Haotian stumbled backward and onto the floor, while Master Ghost had gone pale with overwhelming shock. He’d known that Chen Hao was no mere mortal, but he didn’t expect him to be this powerful now; it made him really happy, actually.

“You see? This pearl is just a toy to me!” Chen Hao said.

“H-Have mercy, Young Master Chen! Have mercy!” Chen Haotian responded by falling to his knees, kowtowing desperately.

“Tell me, where’s the Hidden Dragon Island?” Chen Hao asked.

“The Hidden Dragon Island? It’s our family’s main island at—” Suddenly, Chen Haotian’s head jerked up and he activated a talisman by breaking it in his hands. Immediately, a bright light appeared and the floor beneath him cracked open to reveal a passageway, one that Chen Haotian wasted no time in slipping through.

Boom! At the same time, several large stone doors rumbled down and sealed off the entire room.

“What? That sneaky bastard got away!” Master Ghost exclaimed.

“It’s alright, Master. I’ve planted a talisman on him and hopefully, once he returns to the Hidden Dragon Island, I’ll be able to follow him there effortlessly and save my family!” Chen Hao said, shaking his head.

“Hehe, I suppose I let my shock get to me just now. You’re a different man now, Young Master Chen, and as powerful as Chen Haotian is, he is nothing but a lowly ant to you. But still, how are we supposed to escape with all these booby traps in the cave though?”

“That’s simple,” Chen Hao said casually. Then, he waved his hand to produce a blinding beam of golden light that shook the cave and cracked open a large hole in the cave’s ceiling. The light that shone in from the outside was almost as blinding as Chen Hao’s light. Chen Hao’s spells surprised Master Ghost to his core, so much so that it made him look at Chen Hao with yet more respect.
