Chapter 43: Tang Xiansheng

As they watched those wizards shouting louder and louder, Tang Xiansheng became increasingly excited, almost crazy. Without Li Xue having to say anything, Li Hao knew that there was no time left to hesitate.
Li Xue's actions are much faster than Li Hao's. Li Hao had just gotten up and saw Li Xue passing by. Although Li Xue's injuries had not completely healed, her speed, which she still unleashed despite her injuries, made Li Hao feel a bit jealous.
However, this emotion was quickly shattered by a raging sense of power. "It's my turn!" Since the Titan Dragon Heart transplanted into his body depleted the remaining Titan Dragon Soul due to the forced use of the Nine Dragon Technique, Li Hao had become the true owner of this heart. Although he didn't have the Nine Dragons at the moment, his physical strength alone already far exceeded the limits of humans.
As Li Hao and his companion rushed into the crowd, the villagers who had been intimidated by Tang Xiansheng stood still in confusion. It was not because Li Hao and his companion had such a powerful impact, but because the ritual had always been a matter of strict adherence, let alone a full sprint like the two of them.
They remembered the consequences of the first time they didn't follow the rules during the ritual, and now they were crying and screaming, desperately wanting to escape the ceremonial site. Unfortunately, the more chaotic the crowd became, the harder it was for them to get out.
With such a grand momentum, those few wizards didn't even turn their heads and continued muttering to themselves. The two bodies on the ground slowly sank into the soil, emitting a terrifying and chilling atmosphere.
These few wizards are still accelerating the progress of the sacrifice, but Tang Xiansheng looked over, and this guy has completely fallen into a state of madness, his red eyes staring at Li Hao and the other person rushing over like a mad dog.
I don't know why, even though he was just a weak human, Li Hao felt instinctual fear when he locked eyes with him and his crazy gaze.
Li Xue's speed was at its limit, while Li Hao was struggling to break through the crowded crowd. Li Xue had already swung her knife towards Tang Xiansheng, who was standing straight ahead.
As this white blade struck down like a thunderbolt, even Li Hao felt that Tang Xiansheng was undoubtedly doomed. However, this obviously mentally unstable guy inexplicably twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding Li Xue's seemingly inevitable strike.
Watching Tang Xiansheng dodge Li Xue's full-powered strike, Li Hao was already certain that this guy was probably no longer a normal person, neither mentally nor physically.
Even if Li Hao wants to avoid Li Xue's full force slash, it is not very realistic. This middle-aged villager effortlessly avoids it. If anyone dares to say that this is an ordinary person, Li Hao could directly twist his head off.
Knowing that Tang Xiansheng is likely the hidden boss, Li Hao directly grabbed a villager next to him who was trying to escape. Let's use this person as a weapon for now, since we don't know the situation yet. It's not very sensible to just rush in for a hand-to-hand fight, especially since everything seems so sinister. Plus, Li Hao is in a weakened state and cannot easily engage.
A hand the size of a pu fan held onto the villager's calf, as if it were a stick in Li Hao's hand. He had never seen such a monster before, and in a desperate attempt to escape, it twisted its limbs incessantly.
Li Hao felt the "weapon" in his hand constantly pulsating, with an urge to simply twist off its limbs. But upon reflection, he realized that doing so would make the weapon less handy, and moreover, it was not suitable to engage in such matters while confronting Tang Xiansheng.
After Tang Xiansheng dodged Li Xue's stab, his whole body bristled, his face turned red and his eyes bled, like an evil ghost. He made a whimpering sound from his mouth and pounced on Li Xue like a wild beast.
Swish swish swish! The sound of blades cutting through the air can be heard three times in a row. Li Xue swiftly swings her sword, with her footwork just as quick, as she passes by Tang Xiansheng at a distance of less than a step.
Then Tang Xiansheng had nowhere to hide in mid-air, and took three blows from Li Xue, his abdomen opened up and blood and organs flowed down, but he just glanced casually and then continued to rush towards Li Xue as if nothing had happened.
Watching Li Xuema rushing towards the few wizards who had already stood up straight, Li Hao glanced at Tang Xiansheng who was following closely behind. Li Hao knew what his task was.
Peng! Pa! Two muffled thuds echoed abruptly, knocking Tang Xiansheng, who was still running wildly, to the ground. Li Hao calmly picked up the weapon that had already knocked Tang Xiansheng unconscious on the ground and struck the back of his head a few more times.
A few hammer strikes left Tang Xiansheng's head unchanged, but the weapon in Li Hao's hand had already exploded. Helplessly, Li Hao had to drop the weapon and prepare to fight personally.
That was when Tang Xiansheng, swaying, stood up from the ground again. The slippery crimson intestines hung from his lower body, accompanied by a face full of madness. He had completely become a monster.
After being attacked by Li Hao, this guy's target immediately shifted to Li Hao, but he did not directly pounce on him like he did to Li Xue. Instead, he confronted Li Hao like a wild beast facing a tricky enemy.
"Hey, say no more, your head is really hard. I'll personally twist it off later." For Li Hao, a newbie with slow speed and little experience, it's better to leave the key issue to Li Xue to solve, and he can just focus on dealing with Tang Xiansheng.
Li Hao didn't speak, which was fine. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Xiansheng seemed to have accepted a challenge. The low growl in his mouth suddenly erupted as he leaped forward, wildly grabbing at Li Hao with both hands.
Li Hao believes that he has a great advantage in close combat and decides not to dodge. He delivers two punches directly to Tang Xiansheng's chest, while Tang Xiansheng also tears open several large cuts on Li Hao's body.
With two punches from Li Hao, Tang Xiansheng only slightly stepped back. Although his chest had caved in from the blows, this guy was not even afraid of having his abdomen opened up. These minor injuries really didn't affect him.
For one thing, just this vitality alone is already a tough opponent. Besides, from the few moves just now, it can be seen that Li Hao is only superior to this creature in terms of intelligence, and has no other advantages. Although his strength is greater than it, he just can't kill it.
The wound on his body was still bleeding, and Li Hao didn't dare to be distracted to deal with it. He looked at Tang Xiansheng in front of him, whose eyes were full of hostility and was waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Suddenly, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
Standing just three or four meters away from Li Hao, Tang Xiansheng suddenly dropped to all fours and quickly circled around Li Hao like a wild beast. Even fools could tell that he intended to get behind him for a fatal strike.
Li Hao was helpless and could only passively follow it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with Tang Xiansheng's speed.
Soon, after Li Hao revealed a flaw, Tang Xiansheng pounced on Li Hao's back with a growl, and no matter how hard Li Hao struggled, he couldn't pull it off.
Ah! Li Hao is desperate to defend his neck from being attacked, covering it with his hand. But the monster doesn't care about that at all and just goes for it, taking a bite that makes Li Hao feel like his fingers are about to be bitten off.
Tang Xiansheng is relatively short compared to Li Hao, and he is hanging on Li Hao. His limbs are hooked into the flesh and skin on Li Hao's back and waist, and no matter how Li Hao tries, he can't get rid of him.
Facing this embarrassment, Li Hao decides to bite the bullet. He grabs Tang Xiansheng's shoulders with both hands and leans forward, slamming himself on the ground along with the flesh and skin that is being held by Tang Xiansheng.
Ah! The soft flesh behind and around Li Hao's back and waist was instantly torn off, causing him such pain that he couldn't help but roar in anger. Just as he was about to step forward and give Tang Xiansheng a kick, this guy quickly got up and moved his limbs, once again maintaining a distance from Li Hao neither too close nor too far.
Watching Tang Xiansheng circling around again, Li Hao, ignoring the intense pain behind him, forced himself to calm down and think about countermeasures. He must seize one opportunity to completely defeat Tang Xiansheng, or else he might really end up in a terrible situation and die in this darn place.
