Chapter 22 The Struggle



Wang Hao's figure moved through the darkness. Nearby, rocks flew everywhere. Two people opposite him fired their guns, trying to suppress him with firepower and prevent him from showing himself. Beams of energy shot out, shattering the rock walls and covering the area.

"No rush, they're probably more anxious than I am." Wang Hao remained extremely calm. From his position, it was somewhat difficult to deal with the two people in front of him, but he had a commanding view of the three people on the next level of the underground palace, making it very convenient to take action.

He held an energy gun, hid behind a boulder, and waited for the right opportunity to suddenly fire.

"Bang!"

One of them was shot in the abdomen. The intense heat caused his wound to scabbed over instantly, and his painful screams echoed throughout the underground palace.

Wang Hao seized the opportunity and fired several shots in quick succession. The second person was also hit by the beam of light and shot in the head, with blood, flesh and brains splattering everywhere.

At this moment, the third person in the lower underground palace successfully obtained the silver animal hide scroll and hid behind the rocks without moving.

Wang Hao frowned slightly and looked over cautiously. He saw that the silver storage ring had disappeared. Obviously, the person had searched very carefully and must have hidden it away.

"When Chitu and the others return, they'll be the ones who'll be anxious. Just bear with it a little longer." Wang Hao forcibly suppressed his urge to attack. The first rule of being a hunter is to have enough calmness and patience.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Zhao Wenbo couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Throw up the animal hide book and that thing wrapped around the stone! I saw it!"

The man in black below shuddered, hesitated for a moment, but still took out the silver ring, then tore off a piece of his clothes and wrapped the two together.

With a flash of silver light, the scroll of animal hide was thrown out and landed among a pile of rocks above.

Zhao Wenbo was somewhat anxious. The animal skin scroll was quite far from them, and it was difficult to get it right in front of them in one go if it was thrown from the ground.

Wang Hao wasn't in a hurry. He started using his energy gun to finish off the men in black who had fallen to the ground in the upper underground palace. If anyone was pretending to be dead, then they would really be dead this time.

He had given the underground palace a thorough "baptism," and now he felt at ease, no longer afraid of being attacked from both sides.

"Bang! Bang!"

During this process, rocks near Wang Hao kept exploding, and the two gunmen opposite him were firing very accurately, constantly spraying bullets and making it difficult for him to keep up.

Zhao Wenbo was anxious. He was really afraid that Chitu, Menghu and the others would come back. He whispered, "We don't have time. While he is suppressed and can't show his face, one of us should go and retrieve the animal skin scroll and the ring."

The two men were in a very difficult situation. The man opposite them was clearly a ruthless person who would kill without spitting out the bones. Many of the men in black who were pretending to be dead were shot again by him. He was very ruthless.

Under Zhao Wenbo's pressure, one of them had no choice but to rush out, only to be nearly shot by a beam of light. He quickly retreated, thankfully he was agile.

"Time is not on our side."

Zhao Wenbo gritted his teeth and unleashed the strength of a martial artist in the early stage of the Yellow Realm. He climbed over the rock and tried to use his agility to snatch it himself.

But a beam of light grazed past his ear, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he decisively flipped back over.

Wang Hao also felt that time was running out, so he decided to take the initiative. Otherwise, once Chi Tu and Meng Hu returned, he would not be able to get the storage ring.

"Boom!"

Wang Hao pushed a relatively smooth boulder without any sharp edges forward as a defense, heading towards the silver animal skin scroll.

"This guy is quite strong, let's follow suit and push the boulder forward!" Zhao Wenbo shouted. He pushed one himself, and the other two worked together to push another.

During this process, as he continued to move forward and the angle changed, Wang Hao successfully dealt with the person in the lower underground palace.

As Wang Hao drew closer to the animal hide scroll, he was about to encounter the person opposite him.

The two men who were pushing the boulder together secretly estimated when they would collide. They prepared to shoot from different directions, and with their numerical advantage, they naturally had a greater chance of winning.

However, things didn't go as they expected. They underestimated Wang Hao's strength, and he suddenly pushed the boulder to accelerate, changing the speed of the old ox from before.

Now, Wang Hao pushed the boulder with both palms, and it crashed into him like a train roaring past.

At this moment, he used his martial arts cultivation and three-tenths of his recovered spiritual energy at the same time, determined to get the storage ring!

"Bang!"

The two boulders suddenly collided. The two men misjudged the situation and were thrown away by a tremendous force, sustaining serious injuries.

One of them groaned as the back of his head slammed against the rock wall, blood gushing out, his vision going black, and he fainted from the pain.

The other person was knocked backward and sent flying, but fired several shots in mid-air.

Wang Hao dodged with agile movements. He originally wanted to fire back, but the energy gun indicated that it was low on energy. Helpless, he took out a dagger and flicked his wrist.

"puff!"

The dagger was embedded in the man's right shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.

Immediately, Wang Hao crouched down to dodge Zhao Wenbo's frenzied gunfire, picked up a rock, and smashed it down on the man whose shoulder had been pierced by a dagger, leaving him covered in blood and unconscious without uttering a sound.

"ha."

Zhao Wenbo was both nervous and excited at this moment, because he had already grabbed the strip of cloth that wrapped the animal skin roll and the silver ring and held it in his hand, and couldn't help but want to shout.

However, now was not the time to rejoice. He calmed himself down, hid behind the boulder, and kept firing at Wang Hao.

"What a piece of junk this gun is, it fails at the crucial moment." Wang Hao was speechless. He squatted behind a blue stone, put down the energy gun, took out his long sword, and in an instant, his aura changed drastically.

"Unfortunately, my cultivation level is not high enough to capture the trajectory of the energy beam." Wang Hao suppressed the urge to charge with his longsword and then threw the alloy sword away.

Zhao Wenbo hid behind the boulder, not even showing his head, only occasionally raising one arm to fire a shot. Suddenly, he felt a chilling coldness. Just as he raised his energy gun, he suddenly heard a "crack" sound, and the gun broke.

He reacted extremely quickly, swiftly withdrawing his hand. A bright sword light flashed past, revealing an alloy longsword that cleaved the energy gun in two and grazed his palm, drawing blood and causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Wenbo felt a wave of fear. If he had reacted any slower, his hand would have been cut off, and the alloy longsword had almost struck his head, grazing his scalp as it flew past.

Even so, he is now balding.

Seeing this, Wang Hao immediately leaped up. He was quite far away from Zhao Wenbo, and he covered the distance in just a few steps.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Wenbo immediately laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth, and said menacingly, "If you dare to fight me in close combat, you probably won't even know how you died!"

He was 185 centimeters tall and had a strong physique. At this moment, a faint white mist appeared around his body, and white light emanated from his palms and fingers. Zhao Wenbo sneered and blasted towards Wang Hao.

Martial artists at the Yellow Realm can inject their true energy into their opponent's body during combat. Moreover, outstanding disciples from aristocratic families and conglomerates have undergone genetic modification since childhood.

The true energy they cultivate is unique, and they have even come into contact with energies more powerful than true energy!
