Chapter 415: Hagan Dies.
Hao Ren did not bother with Hagan attacking the border, he sat down in cultivation and the time passed. Han Lingshi also received the news but she could not act. She still recalled the way Hao Ren punished her. Although it would be a lie to say that she didn't like it. However, it was not a good thing for her to go over and ask for it. She was an Empress.
Days passed, and Ye Jian stood at the border watching all that Hagan and his people did. There were around a hundred thousand soldiers present on the other side of the barrier and they were all taking shifts focusing their attacks on one point in the giant barrier.
Ye Long stood beside Ye Jian and asked, "Master, what are we gonna do?"
The young sword saint looked at him and said, "Xiao Long, trust is the key. Young Master would be coming over as he said he would come over. When he does, make sure to keep your eyes open."
Ye Long nodded, although they didn't interact much with Hao Ren, but they knew how Hao Ren could pull off almost anything. The young man took a deep breath and watched the spirit attacks landing on the barrier. They were bearing the insults from the people behind the barrier, they were being called cowards, and whatnot. However, the people bore it all.
...
Hagan was sitting inside a tent, and he was fuming with rage uncontrolled. From the opening of his tent the barrier was visible clearly. He was watching his people making a consistent effort to break the barrier open, but they were not able to make even a dent in it.
Hagan looked at the few elders who were analysing an array map, and he scoffed. These people were the greatest formation masters of the Spirit Siphon Continent, yet they could not make the heads from the tails of this array. Suddenly, the attacks stopped, and he raised his head to see what happened, and his eyes sparkled.
The barrier was rippling and the old man dashed out of his tent knowing that any moment the barrier could come away.
...
Ye Jian looked at the horizon and found that Hagan was standing in the void. His brows didn't have any trace of tension between them. His trust in Hao Ren was absolute, even if he were to die here, it won't shake. Just when his hand moved to grasp the hilt of his sword, he heard a series of crackling sounds.
Turning around he saw Hao Ren stretching his body. The young man nodded to Ye Jian and asked, "Yo, how is it going?"
Xiao Long looked at Hao Ren and sighed in relief. The young man said, "Your Majesty, they have made the barrier ripple."
Hao Ren nodded and then he took out his armor and began to put it on piece by piece as he walked ahead in the void while whistling. The two young men looked at each other and they smiled at each other.
The young man walked towards the rippling barrier and asked, "Old man Hagan, don't you know that getting agitated at this age, can cause you to burst a valve in your heart?"
He was talking very candidly and looking at Hagan, who was looking at Hao Ren as if he would eat him alive. Hagan yelled, "Swine! You dare to come before me and talk so casually? I will tear you apart tissue by tissue."
Hao Ren chuckled and asked, "So, why do you think that I shouldn't be candid? Is it because I killed your son? Well then, you should have done a better job raising him. Going after other people's wives so that he can have a battle? He got it, but then he lost his life. What are you blaming me for? I am sure that you are regretting raising him like this, a wastrel, so why are you so enraged?"
As he finished speaking he put on his helmet and took out his sword as he said, "Ready or not, here I come!"
The next moment he stepped out of the barrier, and vanished with his sword swinging. The people were shocked. They didn't expect him to have such courage to attack a crowd as big as this. Heads flew wherever he passed. After five minutes, about five hundred people had already died without knowing what happened to them, and then Hao Ren sighed and said, "Okay, need to warm up quickly."
He said, "Dragon's breath."
All of a sudden, a cloud of flames erupted.
Ye Jian sighed and said, "I was the one who named that move."
Xiao Long clicked his tongue and said, "Purgatory Breath would have been better."
The flame covered an area of seven kilometers and every human inside the flames turned into ashes, directly. Hagan was stunned to see this display, he yelled, "You monster."
Then he vanished from his place and appeared next to Hao Ren, and tried to punch him. Hao Ren sighed and parried his punch and said, "You think it would be that easy?"
Hagan sneered and said, "Tyrant fist, Meteor mountain."
The attack was strong and simple. The left fist hit Hao Ren straight on his chest, and the young man took half a step back. The impact caused Hagan to realize how strong Hao Ren was, the aftermath of the punch left his arm numb.
The young man smiled and said, "Enough playtime."
He responded with a punch of his own and said, "Titan first, Wrath."
His right fist issued a sonic boom and it hit Hagan in the face. The old man was thrown off in the distance. Hao Ren didn't let up and followed in quick moves as he said, "Titan Fist, Meteor Rain."
The entire void echoed with sonic booms and the soldiers watched numb. They were so shocked that they couldn't process what was going on. The head of the council, the strongest man of the biggest organization on the Spirit Siphon Continent was being thrashed like a nobody, and he wasn't even given a chance to retaliate.
After a few hundred punches, Hagan's face was gone from a human skull to a mix of blood, bone fragments and pink soft tissues.
Hao Ren sighed and said, "To think he would bring so many people over to die without a bang, like son like father."
He turned around and found the people staring at him with their eyes wide open. They were in disbelief that Hagan would die like this. Hao Ren sighed and said, "It happens, now wake up, go back and tell the other's to surrender or I will come for them. Okay?"
The people nodded, they were hypnotized more by Hao Ren's strength and less by his skill. The army began to retreat and Hao Ren sighed before he walked back inside the array. If someone wanted to kill him then this was the moment. Hao Ren even exposed his back to them.
However, after watching a few of his moves from up close they realized the horror of this young man. This was something they didn't expect. They didn't expect that one man could have such an impact on the battlefield of millions. Hagan died and they had no commander. How could they even face this demon?
The forces fled and Hao Ren came inside the barrier as he said, "Xiao Jian spread the word, Hagan died. Also, have Ye Yue control the common people's opinion. We don't want them to think of us as a demonic force right?"
Ye Jian bowed and said, "I will do it right away young master."
Ye Jian rushed away and Hao Ren headed back to the Central Palace. Xiao Long stood in the void and gulped, just now, he was having a hard time breathing because he could sense something very strong radiating from Hao Ren, it was as if the young man was invincible.
…
Spirit Siphon Council, a few elders were debating whether they should aid Hagan or not. Suddenly the door of the gathering hall was pushed open and a guard dashed inside. One of the elders yelled, "How dare you?!"
The guard knelt on the ground and yelled, "Urgent news, President Hagan is no more."
The air froze inside the gathering hall. The old man asked again in a deeper voice, "What did you say happened?"
The person gulped and replied, "Elder, I just came from the information wing, it is reported that President Hagan died at the hands of the Emperor Crescent Moon Empire."
The elder asked, "The proof?"
The guard replied, "Someone saw the whole fight and even decided to record it on image stone. We will get the image stone within a day."
The elder waved his hand and said, "Leave."
The old man turned to look at the people around him and asked, "Do you think we should put up any struggle now?
The others looked at each other. Simultaneously they shook their heads but at this moment someone came out of the crowd and said, "I would rather focus on cultivation than fighting him."
