Chapter 1245: Killing a Saint (II)
Bam!
Li Hao was sent flying by another sweeping blow of the queen’s scepter. Eight more presences joined the fray at this time and a Saint with a cold expression on his face denounced, “Li Hao, so many are your acts of injustice that the heavens have abandoned you. Today, we will slay the demon!”
When one possessed sufficient ability to defy the heavens, that made one a stunning powerhouse.
When one couldn’t defy the heavens, that made one an idiot.
Li Hao had the ability to defy the heavens, but threw away the favor of the world and betrayed the heavenly will. Who should die, if not him?
“Are Ying Hongyue and Zheng Yu’s replicas not here?” Li Hao shuffled a few steps back and stumbled when the void exploded. He laughed at himself. How pathetically unlucky he was right now!
His legs were a bloody mess. As one might expect, there was no joy and hope to be found in the world again after he offended heaven's will.
Eight Saints swiftly came for him. There were now thirteen powerhouses gathered in the vicinity, all of them bolstered by the heavens. Even an Empyrean King would find it difficult to rescue the young man after he betrayed the heavenly will.
Within the Barren wasteland, Panther and the white horse furiously attacked the longsword of heaven. The rest of Li Hao’s heavyweights continued to stabilize the world, registering the developments with dismay.
Thirteen! This was so much more than they’d anticipated.
Although everyone had known there was inherent risk and danger to their plan, they’d expected that it would take some time for news to reach Zheng Yu’s side. Not even the divine spirits would know at first light. Perhaps everything at Barren would already be complete when their opponents learned of what had taken place.
But... the enemy had responded faster than expected. So much faster, and there were so many mobilized in response to their actions! A full thirteen!
