Chapter 1584 - 1479: Triple-Layer Defense

A surge of blue light suddenly emerged from the palm.

At this moment, Qin Hao could feel himself being locked on.

In horror, he shouted, "Sir, don’t you want to know the details of your disciple’s death?"

Daoist Shan Xu shook his head, "I said, the process is not important, the result is. My disciple is dead, it’s his incompetence, but I, as his master, can’t be incompetent. Therefore, you must die."

With that said, the green light in his palm grew even brighter.

"Sir!" Qin Hao grew more afraid and shouted in panic, "Your disciple spoke about you before he died, don’t you want to hear it..."

"No."

Daoist Shan Xu smiled slightly, "Young man, you’ve truly used every means possible to survive. But what’s the use? In the end, I still have to kill you."

Qin Hao was anxious as if on fire, if no accident occurred, dying here seemed unavoidable.

Really, after roaming for a lifetime, am I truly going to die at this old ghost’s hands?

Qin Hao was extremely unwilling, and he gritted his teeth, "Sir, although your disciple is dead, if you have a chance to acquire a better one, would you be willing?"

"A better disciple? You mean you?" Daoist Shan Xu asked with curiosity.

"Exactly!"

Qin Hao patted his chest, "My talent is one in a million. Moreover, I have exceptional skills; in the Huashan Sect, I’m a favored child of heaven. If you take me in, I guarantee within a year, my name will be more renowned than the Refining Dragon Child!"

He estimated that people like Refining Dragon Child and Daoist Shan Xu were typical antisocial personalities.

To them, the more they destroy and indulge in evil, the more they satisfy their inner needs.

Thus, Qin Hao planned to cater to their tastes.

"Haha..."

Daoist Shan Xu watched Qin Hao with a subtle mocking glint in his eyes, "To survive, you’ve done even the act of betraying your sect?"

"Although Huashan Sect is my sect! It has not nurtured or raised me! Everything I have, I’ve obtained by self-reliance! It’s unrelated to the sect!"

Qin Hao had a righteous look on his face, "Moreover, within the sect, merely among the elders, some have enmity with me. They would love for me to die out here, such a sect, I might as well not return!"

"Talking so righteously, isn’t it simply because you’re afraid of dying?"

Daoist Shan Xu laughed mockingly.

"Indeed, I’m afraid of dying." Qin Hao admitted frankly, "So, sir, would you accept me as your disciple?"

Betraying one’s sect, such unethical actions, Qin Hao didn’t care at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so many masters.

For him, staying alive under the old ghost’s hand was of utmost importance.

As long as he could survive, he would take time to think about the future matters.

"Truly, you are a sharp-tongued and clever lad, an excellent candidate for a disciple."

Daoist Shan Xu’s face was very calm, showing no emotions, "However, I enjoy evil deeds, but that doesn’t mean I lack wisdom. With someone like you, who can rely on me in critical moments, you will surely rely on others in the future, why would I want a disciple like that?"

"Senior! If you don’t trust me, I can swear upon it!"

Qin Hao acted as if he had given up.

"Save your oath; those are for fooling children..." Daoist Shan Xu chuckled lightly, "How about this, kneel and kowtow to me three times, then lick my shoes, I’ll reconsider sparing you!"

If others heard this, they might be overjoyed.

But Qin Hao wasn’t; he merely looked at Daoist Shan Xu with some annoyance.

At this point, he already understood that Daoist Shan Xu had no intention of letting him go.

This old ghost seemed to want to toy with him before he died.

Just like a wild cat encountering a mouse, always humiliating it before killing.

"What? Unwilling?"

Daoist Shan Xu smiled subtly, extending a small foot deliberately, "Just close your eyes and give it a lick."

Qin Hao’s eyebrows started twitching, and his cheeks twitched fiercely.

He stared at Daoist Shan Xu, his expression beginning to grow cold.

"Boy, don’t you want to live anymore?" Daoist Shan Xu laughed more cunningly.

"Fuck! Live your motherfucking life!"

In fury, Qin Hao cursed, "Old bastard, if you’re going to attack, bring it on! I dare you!"

"Hahaha!" After being cursed, Daoist Shan Xu laughed heartily, "Little bastard, your attempts to survive earlier were truly amusing. Why don’t you keep it up?"

Clearly, he was truly ridiculing Qin Hao.

"I’m holding your big-headed ghost up!" Qin Hao cursed firmly, and since escape was impossible, he went all out, "Old ghost! With your shoe-looking face, one might think you’re a shoe salesman!"

"Boy... you..." Daoist Shan Xu seemed somewhat angered.

He was about to speak when Qin Hao loudly interrupted, "Me? Hard to take my insult? Oh, right, forgot to tell you, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a dwarf!"

Dwarf!

This word came out, and Daoist Shan Xu couldn’t contain himself, his face changed with deep anger.

He was short and paranoid about anyone provoking him about it.

Now, Qin Hao was humiliating him.

How could he endure it?

In an instant, Daoist Shan Xu roared angrily, "Sharp-tongued little bastard! Go die for me!"

With that said, a blast of spiritual light shot from his palm towards Qin Hao.

Boom!

The spiritual light exploded around Qin Hao, thick smoke rising.

"Huh... the little bastard’s aura disappeared, could he have evaporated?"

Daoist Shan Xu, with a sense of doubt, gently swept his right hand.

A strong wind arose, scattering the smoke, he saw no figure ahead, nor any trace of blood.

"This boy..." Daoist Shan Xu’s eyes narrowed, he saw a dark figure rapidly fleeing into the distance, who else could it be but Qin Hao?

This boy has defensive treasures?

Daoist Shan Xu was slightly startled, but quickly came to, no matter how you looked at it, Qin Hao didn’t seem like an ordinary disciple; having an elder’s bestowed protective spiritual artifact was quite normal.

He quickly suppressed his doubtful emotions and with a light tap of his foot, he transformed into a stream of light chasing Qin Hao, arriving above him, shouting, "Little bastard! Do you think defending against one strike makes you incredible? Go die!"

As he spoke, Daoist Shan Xu’s palm sent out a second blast of spiritual light.

Boom!

Again, there was a similar resonance.

Daoist Shan Xu saw fragments of spiritual light shredding around Qin Hao, then a human figure quickly moved away amidst the smoke.

His eyes narrowed with surprise, "He actually has another defensive artifact!"

This time, he was truly shocked.

Whether a disciple is valued within the Inner Sect can generally be seen from the number of spiritual artifacts they possess.

Qin Hao, having two protective spiritual artifacts, didn’t seem like an ordinary disciple.

Could this guy be Lei Dingtian’s illegitimate child?

Daoist Shan Xu thought with a twisted amusement.
