This one-sided beating didn't even take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. All struggles and resistance were instantly broken. By the time they came to their senses, they were met with an overwhelming barrage of iron fists.
Even without using spirit power or martial spirits, Zhao Wuji was no match for Tang Hao. Within ten breaths, he was unable to get up, lying on the ground in a sorry state, his chest heaving as he gasped for air, effectively ending this unilateral thrashing.
Flander landed precisely beside Zhao Wuji and cautiously glanced at Tang Hao, who stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of continuing the fight. Flander reached out to help up Zhao Wuji, whose face was once again swollen into a pig's head.
Seeing the fresh black eyes on Zhao Wuji's face and the blood seeping from the bruised corners of his mouth, Flander averted his gaze, unable to bear the sight. He then looked at Tang Hao, whose black robe remained unwrinkled, and dared not speak.
Tang Hao looked calmly at the helped-up Zhao Wuji, as if nothing had happened, and asked in a peaceful tone, "Zhao Wuji, do you understand?"
Zhao Wuji let out a breath, struggled to lift his head, and showed a grateful expression. "Thank you, Venerable Haotian, for your guidance."
Tang Hao nodded, moved slightly closer to the two, and his lips moved, as if he was saying something in a low voice.
Unfortunately, Tang Hao spoke in a secret transmission method, so only the three of them could hear what he said.
After listening, Flander and Zhao Wuji nodded repeatedly, the astonishment in their eyes quickly fading, and they looked at Tang Hao with utmost seriousness.
Tang Hao's gaze swept towards the depths of the dark forest, his voice carrying a hint of sigh and gentle warmth. "What just happened was compensation for you. From now on, they will be your responsibility."
With that, Tang Hao's calm expression suddenly changed for a moment. With his Titled Douluo strength and powerful spiritual sense, the dark surroundings were no different from daylight to him.
It was precisely because of this that when his peripheral vision caught sight of a small figure wearing a thin, light-colored dress, standing silently on a thick branch in the forest and looking in their direction, Tang Hao's eyelids twitched violently, and his heart sank.
Why is Sui Sui here?!
The little girl, standing quietly on the thick branch, had her soft black hair spread out. Her pale and delicate face was devoid of excess expression, but her dark eyes were like two black glass beads dropped into clear water, reflecting glints of light. She looked at them with an extremely strange gaze, as if a fierce beast had spotted its prey, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the precise moment to tear open the prey's throat.
Danger!
Sensing that his youngest daughter was not in the right state, Tang Hao's heart tightened. His figure flickered, and in a blink, he disappeared from in front of Flander and Zhao Wuji, who were bowing.
Thus, when they looked up, Tang Hao was nowhere to be seen.
With the God of Slaughter gone, Zhao Wuji immediately began to grunt in pain and chided his heartless boss, Flander. "Old Flander! You're really disloyal! You just watched me get beaten alone!"
Flander rolled his eyes exasperatedly. "Still talking? This misfortune was all caused by your impulsive actions." He then lowered his voice and added:
"You should be grateful that that person harbored no killing intent. Otherwise, even if it were both of us, we would surely have lost our lives!"
Zhao Wuji whined, rubbing the black and purple bruises on his chest. "I know. I just wanted to complain a bit! Can't I even complain?"
Flander's mouth twitched. Thinking of something, his eyes lit up with astonishment again. "I truly didn't expect that our academy would actually recruit such an incredible little monster this time." Su Dan Novels.
Mentioning the person who had also unilaterally beaten her up that day, just like her father, Zhao Wuji felt his injuries ache again, and he mumbled, "If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them? Old Flander, you go to the opening ceremony and teaching tomorrow. I need to recuperate and take leave!"
It was uncertain if he could even move tomorrow morning.
