On the dark red ground.
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat tense due to the mysterious appearance of that humanoid creature.
"Humble ants, according to your human customs, you should introduce yourselves before the battle, right? You can call me Bash. I am the creation of the great lord of the kingdom, Bhazan. To die by my hand is your honor, you human ants, be glad!"
Bazaar introduced himself with a hint of mockery and disdain on his face. In his view, it would only take him a moment to kill the five people celebrating their birthday.
Today is his birthday, but what he has been greeted by are five such weak humans, which makes him feel slightly unhappy and bored.
On the other side, Ba Sha looked relaxed and carefree, his tone full of sarcasm, showing no regard for the five of them.
Although the five people celebrating the birthday were indignant, they did not refute it, because they knew that what the market said might be true.
"Let's do it!"
Suddenly, Qing Sheng let out a loud shout, and the golden dragon phantom behind him shone brightly. Its dragon eyes opened again, and Qing Sheng's eyes, which had transformed into vertical eyes, also shone with golden light. In an instant, Qing Sheng pushed the power of the dragon eyes to the extreme. Even more so, two lines of thick blood tears flowed from Qing Sheng's eyes, showing just how much pressure Qing Sheng's eyes were under at that moment.
Qingsheng knew that, facing such a formidable opponent, the only way for the five of them to have a chance of survival was to strike first when the opponent was off guard and dismissive of them.
Therefore, once you make a move, you must go all out and not give the opponent any time to react.
The moment the Celebration Dragon Eyes was activated, the market vendor opposite him had a slightly dazed look in his eyes, and then his body swayed slightly, as if he had been successfully pulled into the illusion by Celebration.
At the same time, two large annihilation black holes appeared simultaneously in front of the market. Lin Bai, pale-faced, activated the annihilation technique, causing it to explode instantly. Two brilliant and terrifyingly destructive flames instantly annihilated the market.
Those two annihilation spells drained all of Lin Bai's spiritual power in an instant. Lin Bai swayed and could barely stand. This was the highest level of annihilation he could create at the moment.
The power of those two annihilation explosions would have been enough to kill even a peak Star Radiance Realm Mystic, if not kill them. But now, they are facing a Star Radiance Realm Mystic with the combat power of the Moon Realm. Even if Lin Bai goes all out, can he really cause fatal damage to Basha?
Even Lin Bai, the owner of those two obliterated items, didn't know.
Similarly, after Lin Bai's annihilation exploded, Wang Hao, clad in holy armor, charged to the front alone, accompanied by the Night Demon summoned by Xiang Ming.
Xiang Ming and Gan Yuan, whose bodies were engulfed in black flames, lagged slightly behind, following behind Wang Hao.
It wasn't that Xiang Ming and Gan Yuan were afraid of death; the bond between the five of them had long reached the point where they could entrust their lives to each other. At this moment, Xiang Ming and Gan Yuan naturally wouldn't back down, and if possible, they would rather be at the forefront.
Based on the current distribution of abilities, Wang Hao, with his abnormal defensive capabilities, is indeed the most suitable to be at the front.
"Heh, interesting! I underestimated you. If it were those idiots here, they might have really messed things up."
But just before Wang Hao and his two companions reached Ba Sha, Ba Sha's calm voice came from the still-burning flames.
When Wang Hao, Gan Yuan, and Xiang Ming heard the voice coming from the firelight, which was no different from the previous one, their expressions changed drastically.
Despite the combined attack of Qing Sheng and Lin Bai, judging from the sound, the market seemed to have suffered no damage at all.
"Watch out, get behind me!"
Suddenly, Wang Hao's expression turned extremely ugly. He let out a loud roar, and his forward-moving body was forcibly stopped under his control, his feet leaving two long marks on the ground.
Then, pieces of Wang Hao's holy armor fell off and instantly formed a not-so-wide yellow wall in front of him.
Upon hearing Wang Hao's roar, Gan Yuan and Xiang Ming turned extremely pale. Although they wanted to share the burden with Wang Hao, they knew that they could only hide behind him. With a quick movement, they hid within the area covered by the wall of holy armor in front of Wang Hao.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Hao, Xiang Ming, and Gan Yuan had completed all of this. At the same moment, an extremely condensed beam of energy shot out from the flames and slammed into the wall in front of Wang Hao the instant it was formed.
"boom!"
The moment the energy beam collided with the wall, a tremendous roar resounded in front of Wang Hao. Wang Hao's body, behind the wall, was propelled backward by the enormous force generated by the energy beam, and his legs sank deep into the ground.
"Drink it!"
Finally, with a furious shout from Wang Hao, he managed to stop his retreating body only after his lower body had completely sunk into the ground. At this moment, Xiang Ming and Gan Yuan were less than ten meters behind him.
"Snap!"
Then, another slight cracking sound rang out. In Wang Hao's solemn and reddened eyes, dozens of cracks appeared on the wall made of holy armor in front of him, but fortunately it did not completely shatter.
"Gurgle!"
Wang Hao's throat moved slightly, and he forcefully swallowed the mouthful of blood that had surged up into his throat. Wang Hao felt as if the five sacred mountains were trembling inside his body, and all his organs seemed to have deviated from their original positions. The intense pain made Wang Hao's face turn as pale as paper, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
But Wang Hao was trying his best to endure the pain that was radiating from his entire body, because he knew that he could not fall down yet, and his teammates were still behind him.
I must take the brunt of the next attack for them!
"There's not much I, Wang Hao, can do, but I'm quite capable of protecting my friends from harm! You guys hurry back to Brother Qing's place!"
Wang Hao spoke softly, trying his best to conceal the pain in his voice caused by the internal ache.
In a daze, Wang Hao seemed to have returned to that alleyway from the past. Back then, he was still an ordinary person. At that time, just like now, he stood in front of his only friend who had come out of the orphanage with him. But that time, he couldn't stop the mysterious figure in front of him who was only at the Bright Lamp Realm.
He was sent flying by the mysterious attack, and then, in a daze, he watched as his only friend was devoured by the mysterious creature. It was at that moment that Wang Hao awakened the Forbidden Holy Armor of Sequence 025. After that, he unleashed a flurry of blows on the mysterious creature that had taken his friend's life, finally blasting it into dust.
Afterwards, Wang Hao slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the blood-soaked, mangled corpse of his friend. He felt no joy at awakening the forbidden, only endless bewilderment and grief.
At that moment, Wang Hao even considered ending his own life to die with his friend, because if he hadn't taken his friend away from the orphanage, perhaps he wouldn't have died.
But just as Wang Hao was about to end his life, a member of the local extermination squad noticed something was wrong, arrived in time, and stopped Wang Hao's actions.
Afterwards, Wang Hao began to understand another side of this world. He joined the Zhanmi Bureau and began training. Later, he joined the new recruit training camp. The usually taciturn Wang Hao began to have his own goals after learning more about what the Zhanmi Bureau was doing.
Since I possess this ability, and since I was unable to save my own friend, could I try my best to use it to save other people's friends, so that they would no longer suffer the same pain as I did?
After that, Wang Hao worked hard to train himself and constantly improve his defensive capabilities, maximizing the value of the Holy Armor. During that time, he met Gan Yuan, a friend who appeared cold on the surface but actually had a passionate heart.
Initially, Wang Hao was unwilling to get close to others because of the death of his friend in the orphanage. He believed he would bring misfortune to others. However, gradually, Gan Yuan, who seemed cold, melted the ice wall in Wang Hao's heart in his own way, pulling him out of his past pain.
Later, Wang Hao and Gan Yuan made many friends during the new recruit training camp. There, they went through life and death together, but in the end, they had to go their separate ways and work together for their own goals and ideals.
Although they are separated now, Wang Hao believes that they will reunite one day. Wang Hao's goal is that when they meet again, he must stand in front of everyone and shield them from all attacks.
During the months spent in this dimensional realm, through sharing life and death and living together day and night, Chi Chen and Qing Sheng had long since become the closest people to Wang Hao in this world.
In Wang Hao's heart, Chi Chen and the others were like family.
Inside Dawn City, Wang Hao watched as Chi Chen stepped forward alone. At that moment, he desperately wanted to rush out and stand in front of Chi Chen, but he could only be pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Once again, he watched helplessly as Chi Chen and Lucifer disappeared before his eyes.
No one knew how much pain Wang Hao felt at that moment, due to the surging of old and new wounds, but he did not show it in the slightest. He could only endure it, and he was always good at enduring. He was unwilling to share his pain with others, so Wang Hao simply kept that resentment deep in his heart.
During the time Chi Chen disappeared, Wang Hao always charged to the front of the team in every battle. Even when it was celebrating his birthday, Lin Bai and the others just thought it was Wang Hao's usual fighting style. After all, in most people's eyes, Wang Hao's usual image was just a silly warrior who would charge blindly.
But no one realized that beneath Wang Hao's simple and honest appearance lay a heart more delicate and kind than anyone else's. Everything he did was simply to minimize the danger and harm that those around him would suffer.
