Chapter 45 Battle Rank 4
Looking at the situation on the field, Lu Hao currently has the advantage. He spent thirty kill points to restore his health to four hundred. Lu Hao didn't mind, after all, killing a high-level third-grade cultivator would yield a return of about twenty times.
I was just about to help a third-rank martial artist, hoping to gain some advantage in the fight.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from inside, and the fighting sound was moving closer to the outside. Weren't there two fourth-rank warriors fighting inside? Could it be that the square-faced guy looks powerful, but he's actually just a Qi and Blood Martial Artist? The Detective Bureau wouldn't be so treacherous, would they?
"Everyone, retreat."
A square-faced voice came from inside. Lu Hao retreated and then realized that the square-faced man was fighting not one fourth-rank official, but two fourth-rank officials.
The square-faced man attacked the two fourth-rank warriors, but the two fourth-rank warriors defended together. Although both were martial artists of qi and blood, the square-faced man could not cause them much damage even when they were together.
"Call for help. Tell them there are two fourth-rank officials here. I can hold them off, but I can't launch an effective attack."
The square-faced man shouted, while everyone else was fighting against the cult's opponents. Only Lu Hao was without an opponent here, so Lu Hao took out his phone and quickly told his mother about the current situation.
His mother said she would be there soon and told Lu Hao and the others to hold on. Lu Hao was now regretting not informing Viper about this operation. If Viper were here, as long as he could hold off one of the fourth-rank officials, the square-faced man could have killed one and dealt with the other.
Lu Hao watched the situation before him with tension when suddenly a scream came from the side. Lu Hao saw that one of his fellow martial artists had lost an arm after being beaten by the evil cult martial artists on the other side.
Oh no! Lu Hao immediately realized that if this third-rank heretical martial artist killed the opponent, it would free up a third-rank martial artist. As the snowball grew bigger and bigger, if several third-rank martial artists attacked the square-faced middle-aged man, he would not be able to withstand it.
Alternatively, one of the fourth-ranked warriors fighting the square-faced man could kill these third-ranked warriors first, and then surround and attack the square-faced man. In that case, even Lu Hao would have a hard time resisting.
In an instant, Lu Hao thought of two possibilities, but both were disadvantageous to him.
Looking at the square-faced man's burst of qi and blood, he was only slightly higher than Lu Hao, probably around 120 or 130. He was probably a low-level fourth-grade qi and blood master. He would definitely have no problem dealing with a qi and blood martial artist of the same level, but now he was holding off two of them.
"Senior, I'll handle one; you finish it off quickly."
Lu Hao roared, then unleashed a burst of energy, attacking one of the fourth-rank cultivators. Upon seeing this, the opponent also circulated his qi and blood to defend. Seeing this, the square-faced man's eyes lit up, and he instantly unleashed his qi and blood, thrusting his spear at the fourth-rank cultivator opposite him one after another.
Without a second person to assist in the defense, the square-faced man naturally broke through the opponent's defense, causing him considerable injuries.
On the other side, Lu Hao exchanged a blow with his opponent, who took a small step back. Lu Hao estimated that his opponent's burst of energy was around 90 units. Although his own was high, it was only slightly higher.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be a genius. If I killed you, I wonder how many resources the church would reward me with, hehehehe."
The opposing cultist began his attack. After all, their burst damage was similar, but his vitality was far superior to Lu Hao's. So he planned to exhaust Lu Hao's vitality and then kill him.
So Lu Hao pretended to swallow a Qi and Blood Pill, but actually put it into his storage space. Then he used his killing points to fully restore his Qi and Blood, preparing to use the third strike of "Blood Battle Mad Blade" to reach the ultimate move, which might kill the opponent in one move.
Without further hesitation, Lu Hao unleashed a slash. This strike only cost him 50 units of health; it was the first strike of the "Bloodthirsty Berserker Blade" technique. The opposing cultist also threw a punch, knocking Lu Hao back considerably.
At the same time, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he felt his ribs break.
This was only because of the impact of the blood and qi collision from the first strike; otherwise, this punch might have killed Lu Hao, since Lu Hao had only tempered two ribs.
Ignoring his rib injury, Lu Hao unleashed a second strike, this time a powerful, almost deadly attack. He didn't lose ground in this clash; instead, he forced his opponent back several steps.
Without hesitation, Lu Hao pressed his advantage, restoring his health and strength before unleashing his third strike.
"Die!"
Along with the flash of the blade came Lu Hao's roar. This strike consumed all of Lu Hao's vital energy, unleashing a power of nearly 200 calories, while the opponent's burst was only 90 calories, clearly unable to withstand it.
The blade pierced through the cult fighter's fist, its power undiminished, and slashed towards the cult fighter's head.
With a single stroke, the cult fighter's head was cleaved in two from top to bottom, and he died instantly.
[Killed an enemy, kill points +1369]
Lu Hao landed panting to the side. He had no qi or blood left in his body. He took out a qi and blood pill and put it in his mouth, actually putting it back into his spatial storage. After consuming some killing points to restore ten units of qi and blood, Lu Hao stopped restoring.
He also swallowed a healing pill, after all, he had just been punched by a fourth-grade martial artist and didn't know how many ribs he had broken.
He had already used up a lot of his energy in this battle, almost a thousand calories. He could still use energy pills to cover it up. But if Lu Hao had just used up all his energy to unleash his ultimate move and then immediately recovered, even a fool would know something was wrong.
However, if faced with a life-or-death crisis, Lu Hao will recover immediately. As for the trouble that follows, he'll deal with it later. The most important thing is to survive in critical moments.
Looking at the situation on the field, things are going very well now. The square-faced man is about to take down the fourth-rank martial artist on the other side, and finally someone on Lu Hao's side has killed a third-rank martial artist on the other side. Then this person quickly went to help the one-armed man. Now there is no need to worry about the collapse of the combat power on this side.
Lu Hao rested to the side and glanced at the panel.
[Kill Point Allocation]
[Host: Lu Hao]
[Qi and Blood: 10/496 calories]
[Mental Strength: 21/339 Hz]
Storage space: 1000 cubic meters
Kill Points: 2161
If I don't use kill points, I'm completely powerless. If I do use kill points, I need to restore not only my health but also my mental energy before I can fight. The third strike of "Blood War Mad Blade" consumes too much mental energy.
However, this wave of training has made them incredibly wealthy. With just these, they can almost completely temper their ribs. After tempering one more sternum bone, they can reach the middle stage of the third rank.
A minute later, the square-faced man finally killed the cultist opposite him. After glancing at Lu Hao's situation, the square-faced man quickly went to kill the remaining third-rank warrior.
That square-faced guy is really weak; it took him so long to kill the opponent.
Lu Hao couldn't help but complain that if he had reached the fourth rank, he could probably kill a fifth-rank martial artist, and not just a simple fifth-rank one, but perhaps even a high-level fifth-rank one.
