Chapter 358 - I Remember You
The figure stood there, under the moonlight.
She narrowed her fox-like eyes. They were gleaming with a gentle, eerie light.
Tang Hao pressed his head with his left hand. He was barely able to remain standing. His consciousness was slipping, and many illusions of various colors were appearing in front of him. He bit the tip of his tongue hard to keep him grounded in reality.
Illusion sorcery was very hard to counter. The woman’s cultivation base might not be as high as his, but her illusion sorcery could control and defeat him.
The seductive woman casually walked over. Her eyes were transfixed on Tang Hao.
She was surprised that the boy was the only person who remained standing.
She examined him closely, and her eyes opened wide with incredulity. She had just realized that the boy’s cultivation base was almost the same as hers, which was a lot higher than she had expected.
She looked at his face. ‘He’s still a teenager, right? This is impossible! Since when does Huaxia have such powerful cultivators?’
She parted her lips out of shock.
Her concentration wavered, and the strength of her illusion weakened. Tang Hao immediately snapped out of it. His eyes narrowed with a hint of viciousness.
He lifted his right hand and drew an upward arc in the air with his dragon tooth dagger.
The fox-like woman was shocked. She tapped her feet and floated backward.
Tang Hao’s movements were faster than hers. The blade of the knife drew past her body.
Rrrrrip!
The knife did not damage her body but had torn her clothes.
The front of her kimono was ripped wide open!
Tang Hao was dumbfounded. Even the fox-like woman was dumbfounded.
Tang Hao’s face turned red at that instant. Even though the woman was an enemy, her bared figure made him blush. However, he soon regained his composure.
The woman was also a powerful cultivator. She should have about the same cultivation base as he did, but she knew how to wield illusion sorcery, which gave her an advantage.
He could not afford to give the woman a chance to catch a breath!
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes and dashed forward with a dagger in each of his hands. His attacks fell on the woman like a rainstorm.
The fox-like woman did not have the time to cover her body. She continued retreating, but she did not look flustered at all. “Not bad at all, little brother!” She chuckled.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. ‘I’m not your damn little brother!’
His movements became quicker and more ferocious.
“Hey, little brother, are you trying to kill your elder sister?” The fox-like woman continued to laugh. Her voice was coy and bewitching.
Tang Hao pressed his lips together. ‘Who’s this shameless woman? Is she trying to gain my favor?’
She could not shake off Tang Hao’s attacks. Instead, she flicked her wrist. A dagger appeared in her hand, and she started fighting back.
She was not a weak fighter, even though her body looked frail and delicate.
However, her dagger was made of mere steel while Tang Hao’s dagger was carved from the tooth of a sea dragon. They were not of the same tier.
The woman’s knife was soon chipped. Another short while later, her dagger snapped into two loudly.
A hint of panic flashed in the woman’s eyes. When she came to her senses, she felt something cold across her neck. It was the wind from the force of Tang Hao’s attack.
She broke out in cold sweat.
She had not fought that hard for a long time. In the entire Dongying, she could count on one hand the number of opponents that could put up a fight. None of them could have forced her into a corner!
‘Just who is this kid?’
The kid had shaken off her illusion when her concentration wavered for a split second. She tried to cast the spell again but realized that it had no effect on the kid.
She was starting to get a little flustered. The kid looked no older than a teenager, but he was more powerful and agile than her. Was he actually an elderly cultivator who had regressed in age?
‘What a freak!’
She knew that if the fight went on, she would most likely lose her life.
“Hey, hey! My good little brother! Stop! Stop! Your elder sister doesn’t want to play anymore. I’ll give the Miki kid to you!”
She put her hands in front of her and begged.
“Are you even allowed to do that?” Tang Hao was shocked.
“What about it? I’m unrelated to the Miki clan. I’m just repaying them a small favor. Now that I’ve tried my best to help them, my debt is paid. It’s not Elder Sister’s fault that I can’t defeat you.
“You’ve also seen things that you’re not supposed to see!” She pouted and bit her lip.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes but sheathed his dagger anyway.
It was not that he wanted to keep her alive, but he had a hunch that she had more tricks up her sleeve. If he had continued to fight, she would eventually turn the tables on him.
“Elder Sister will remember you, my good Little Brother! Oh, right, you should remember Elder Sister too! My name is Tamamo!”
She winked at him and left discreetly.
She got in the car. The car backed up a little, turned around, and sped away on the main road.
Meanwhile, in the other car that remained, Toru Miki was sitting there, dumbstruck.
What did he just witness? The famous Grandmaster Tamamo had lost to a teenager in a fight!
He wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. Otherwise, how could it be so ridiculous?
‘Didn’t the grandmasters say that the cultivation world in Huaxia is in decline? How could there be such a scarily powerful character?’
He came to his senses when he heard that the car behind him was driving away. His face turned ghastly pale.
“Go! Go now!” He urged his driver.
The driver shuddered. He ignited the engine and floored the accelerator.
Tang Hao glanced at the car and smirked. He flicked his wrist and a throwing knife shot out. The throwing knife pierced through the windshield of the car and penetrated the driver’s skull.
The car abruptly stopped. Toru Miki trembled and slumped on his seat.
Tang Hao thought for a while and eventually decided to spare his life.
According to the woman, that person was from the Miki family and would be a very important bargaining chip.
He had thought of eradicating Miki Group in one fell swoop. However, Miki Group’s base of operations was in Dongying and not Huaxia. He needed time to prepare if he wanted to do so.
Therefore, he needed a hostage to ensure Zhao Qingxue’s safety.
He dragged Toru Miki out of the car and interrogated him. Then, he knocked him out with a karate chop.
Then, he went to Grandmaster Yamamoto’s unconscious body.
“This is amazing stuff! He’s such a good guy for delivering this Artifact to me from afar!”
Tang Hao rubbed his hands gleefully. Then, he crouched next to him and took the magatama.
