The black-clothed man was slightly shocked when he saw this. It seemed that he did not expect Li Hao to have such strength. However, once he attacked, he could not retract it. He gritted his teeth and directly collided with Li Hao.
There was another ear-piercing sound of metal clashing. The black-robed man's figure suddenly trembled, and his expression became even more gloomy. He staggered back a few steps, and his arms under his long sleeves trembled faintly.
"The Heaven Killer is indeed powerful." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently. He was well aware of the power of that sword. In fact, it contained a lot of true qi. It could even cut through a steel pipe, let alone a tree.
Li Hao did not dare to delay. They were like wolves hiding in the dark, baring their fangs from time to time and pouncing forward. Compared to himself, the White Emperor had a heavier burden. He still had to protect the weak boatman.
The eyes of the man in black flickered, and he hesitated. His arm was moving faintly in his wide sleeves, as if he was hiding another killing move. As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his sleeves, like a shooting star, and it was aggressive. Seeing this, Li Hao turned pale with fright. He didn't have time to dodge, so he could only flip his wrist, and the long sword was placed horizontally in front of his chest. With a crisp " ding " sound, the long sword broke directly. Li Hao hurriedly stretched out two fingers, and caught the hidden weapon that was as powerful as a hot knife.
This was a one-inch-long plum blossom dart. It was as thin as a cicada's wing and as sharp as a blade. Its entire body was shiny and cold. Li Hao stared at the plum blossom dart in his hand with a complicated gaze. His thoughts were long, and it was as if a voice had appeared in his ears.
Li Hao withdrew his gentle gaze. After which, he coldly looked at the black-clothed man and said in a deep voice,"Where did you get this Shadow Plum Seeker?”
After saying that, Li Hao threw away the broken sword in his hand. The fist under his sleeve made a cracking sound. Perhaps it had been a long time since he was so angry.
"You won't tell me? " That's good…" Li Hao's short words were filled with hatred. His eyes were ferocious and red like a wild beast.
The hand in the black-robed man's sleeve moved again. There seemed to be an endless hundred treasure pouch there. However, when he took out something, blood would splash all over the sky.
This time, he fiddled with it for a while, but he didn't seem to see any vicious hidden weapons. It was as if his sleeves were on fire, and thick black smoke pervaded the air.
"Trying to run?" Li Hao's gaze was like a sword. He took a big step forward and rushed over. Even so, he still did not dare to blindly come into contact with the black smoke. The poison injury from not long ago was still vivid in his mind.
If the black-robed man's skills were top-notch, then his speed of escape was even more top-notch. It was as if he had practiced it thousands of times. Black smoke seeped out, and his body instantly disappeared like a ghost.
"Dammit!" Seeing his prey disappear, Li Hao couldn't help but curse in a deep voice.
Li Hao returned to the dock with a gloomy face. There seemed to have been a fierce battle there. Several men in black were lying on the wet ground. Their deaths were extremely tragic. They had been cut open from the top of their heads to their chests by a sword. One could imagine how fast that sword was.
Under the tree, the boatman crouched there in fear, panting heavily. He looked at the blood that filled the sky and did not come back to his senses.
The white-robed man stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was indifferent as he stood to the side, as if the corpses here had nothing to do with him. Seeing Li Hao return, the white-robed man finally smiled."I thought you were run away by a wolf.”
Li Hao didn't say anything, nor did he stop. He walked straight to the cabin, his thoughts surging like a tide.
"I'll return this sword to you!" He stood up and handed over the sword in his hand with a trembling voice. This man in white had killed people without batting an eye just now. It was as if he was chopping wood. The people of Jianghu were indeed barbaric. He secretly decided that after this trip, he would immediately stop.
The man in white raised his eyebrows and said impatiently,""I told you to take it, so just take it.”
"Yes, yes." The boatman lowered his head in agreement, afraid that he would offend such a guy.
In the cabin, Li Hao didn't say a word about this, but his eyes flickered.
The man in white smiled when he saw his unhappy expression. He took a bite of the drumstick as he spoke."Let's order something real. It smells so good. If it's accompanied by a jar of wine, it'll be simply too beautiful.”
Li Hao shook his head and gently stroked the plum blossom dart with his finger. His eyes flickered as he raised his head and suddenly said,"You know what? This Shadow Plum Seeker was only available at the Autumn Water Manor.”
The man in white chewed on the drumstick nonchalantly and said without raising his eyelids,"Autumn Water Manor? Wasn't their family wiped out a few years ago?”
Li Hao didn't say anything. He just smiled helplessly, resentfully, and at a loss. Then, he finally opened his mouth and said softly,""That's right. The prosperous wealthy families of the past were destroyed overnight. Just like this person, he left just like that.”
The white-robed man threw the chicken bone aside. He seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in Li Hao's words. He was slightly stunned and said in disbelief,"Could you be?"
Li Hao smiled dejectedly. His fingers were still touching the cold plum blossom dart. Perhaps it was as cold as his heart at this moment."I used to have another name, Li Qiuhao.”
When the white-robed man heard this, his arm trembled and he said in shock,""You are the young master of the Autumn Water Manor? Li Yanfeng's legitimate son?"
Hearing this name, Li Hao couldn't help but tremble. The tenderness in his heart and the monstrous resentment rose. Li Hao stared at the white-robed man and said word by word,"Do you want to know where the number one hidden weapon in the world,'Gazing Through Autumn Water' is?”
The white-robed man's eyelids twitched. Then, he laughed boldly."Hahaha, perhaps everyone in the world wants to know where it is, but I don't. I have no interest in the affairs of the martial world. I just want to find her and live in seclusion.”
Li Hao smiled but didn't say anything. How could he explain the matters of the martial world?
A few days later, they were already close to Miaojiang. The people from the assassin organization did not appear. It was as if the grudges along the way had faded with the river.
The sky was clear, and the sun was shining brightly. Looking from afar, one could see mountains and dense trees.
The boatman stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the sparkling river surface. He stretched and laughed,"Haha, we're finally here. After a few days of drizzling rain, we've finally seen the sun.”
Hearing the boatman's sigh, the two of them felt the same. They relaxed and chatted with the boatman for a while. At noon, they finally crossed the river and arrived at Miaojiang.
It had to be said that this was a good place. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the shadows of the trees were dancing. However, there were too few people here.
According to the boatman's introduction, this place seemed to be called the Border Territory, which was the border of the Miao Territory. The two of them bathed in the sun and stretched their muscles. Even martial artists would not be able to sit still for a few days.
