Chapter 96: The First Kill

The little guy is right nearby.

A three-eyed youth squatted on the ground, gently touching the bit of blood Ji Hao had vomited onto the earth, and sneered coldly. "He's injured, and his internals are damaged. His injuries are severe, he can't escape."

Extending his tongue, the three-eyed youth carefully tasted the blood on the tip of his tongue, then nodded with certainty: "He's at most thirty miles from here. Emperor Luo, he's severely injured, and this blood was just vomited not long ago. He simply can't escape far."

Emperor Luo stood to the side, his handsome face turning ashen, his brows furrowed as wind shadows flickered in his eyes. Around him swirled wind blades thick as arms, lifting his tall, lean body off the ground.

Emperor Cha commanded the Blood Fang Group, roaming the southern wilderness jungles for five hundred years without losing a single Gale Clan warrior.

But Emperor Luo had only controlled the Blood Fang Group for a short while, and already lost one Gale Clan warrior, an elite whose innate talent in tracking had been awakened.

"Not more than thirty miles? Then gather everyone here as the center, mobilize all of them. The mountain forests within a hundred miles, I want to search them inch by inch." Emperor Luo gritted his teeth and roared lowly, "That little hybrid and that little cheap human, capture them all alive. I only want the living."

Intermittent whistles echoed through the mountains and forests. Massive Gale Clan warriors emerged and disappeared like ghosts in the mist. Large groups of servant warriors rushed through the forests wielding various weapons at high speed. Additionally, numerous metal sword-spider puppets and giant centipedes crawled through the forests.

In the air, thumb-sized metal hummingbird puppets released from within the giant metal centipedes circled around, and over a thousand exquisitely detailed hummingbird puppets were distributed across the sky above the hundred-mile radius of mountains and forests, forming a massive net that monitored the entire forest.

Ji Hao lay exhausted under a large tree, panting. He broke the freshly picked star-spotted mushroom into two pieces, giving one half to Wan Wan and the other to himself. The star-spotted mushroom dissolved upon entering the mouth, transforming into a clear and vigorous force that surged through his entire body. The explosive crack like snapping bowstrings in Ji Hao's body finally ceased, and the body on the verge of collapse stopped worsening.

The Nine Stars Collapsing Fall was originally a cultivation method that burned essence, qi, and spirit to fight desperately.

Combined with the Heaven Opening Strike, which was domineering and unparalleled, Ji Hao's small frame could not withstand the terrifying backlash of the Heaven Opening Strike.

Using both simultaneously, Ji Hao's tendons, bones, skin, flesh, five internal organs, and six bowels were almost reduced to minced meat. Fortunately, he had consumed the earthly vein milk essence and fused a piece of earth element crystal. His physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary small witches, and with a large amount of great witch blood continuously replenishing the consumption, it barely maintained his body without collapsing.

With the vast vitality contained in the star-spotted mushroom, Ji Hao's injuries stopped worsening. The large amount of great witch blood on the colorful flames in his lower abdomen rapidly transformed into colorful streams of light, rapidly integrating into his body. Wherever the colorful light passed, Ji Hao's body began to recover rapidly. The bones broken into tofu dregs-like pieces and held together by thin bone membranes started to wriggle and heal, becoming harder and more flexible than before.

Ji Hao lay twitching like a puddle of mud under the big tree, his body recovering, but the pain of the broken body trying to recover, the unbearable itching and intense pain still tormented him so much he wanted to cry but couldn't, several times almost fainting from the pain.

Fortunately, Ji Hao's purple mansion origin pill was almost solidified into a solid, his willpower unusually tenacious, he endured the pain on his body, tightly maintaining a bit of clarity.

Suddenly, Ji Hao heard a movement from dozens of meters away. He quickly patted the little head of Wan Wan lying beside him and pointed to a small tree hole next to him. Wan Wan looked at Ji Hao, obediently drilled into the tree hole.

The mist was silently parted, and a Gale Clan warrior with coppery skin slightly tinged with black iron hue, four eye sockets flashing with black cold light, giving a very sharp and hard feeling, slowly walked out from behind a large tree.

"Hmm, only you?" The Gale Clan warrior looked around warily.

The mist around Ji Hao swirled gently, enveloping him and the nearby tree hole. Ji Hao activated the bloody smell on his body, and the rich bloody scent dispersed everywhere under the mist's push, perfectly covering Wan Wan's scent.

"Only me." Ji Hao smiled bitterly with difficulty, his body broken beyond recognition, although recovering rapidly, he still lacked the strength to move. The frantic run over the last dozens of miles had exhausted his last bit of strength.

"I've been heavily injured, I can die here, but that little girl can't!" Ji Hao looked at the Gale Clan warrior and said sincerely: "If anything happens to her, my dad, mom, and others will have a lot of trouble. So, I let her escape alone."

The Gale Clan warrior was stunned, his figure like electricity, bringing dozens of afterimages, silently circling the dozens of meters radius once, even jumping to the treetops, carefully searching on the big tree.

After a while, this Gale Clan warrior jumped down from the big tree satisfied, standing casually in front of Ji Hao, looking at Ji Hao and smiling: "You weren't lying, kid. That little girl indeed escaped. However, how far do you think she can go?"

Bent down, the Gale Clan warrior grabbed Ji Hao's neck with one hand and lifted him up. Ji Hao was carried to the front of the other, his face almost touching the other's face.

The Gale Clan warrior carefully looked at Ji Hao's little face, shook his head disdainfully: "You killed Topo? That unlucky child, he had a good nose, but his luck was really bad. Died in the hands of a savage little brat? His family's glory was all lost by him."

The words were still echoing in his mouth, and the Gale Clan warrior's face suddenly twisted and hardened, turning from coppery to a terrible deathly white.

He stared in horror, eyes wide open, one hand throwing Ji Hao to the ground, staring blankly downward at the small fist piercing through his armor, deeply sinking into his body, pinching his spine—Wan Wan.

"Don't you dare kill Ji Hao!" Wan Wan cried with tears streaming down her face, tears mixing with rain, shouting lowly but firmly towards the Gale Clan warrior: "You evil ghosts, I'll have Dad kill all of you! None of you can leave the southern wilderness alive!"

The red light in her palm flashed, Wan Wan's terrifying brute force activated. The Gale Clan warrior's spine, thick as a normal person's thigh and a thousand times harder than steel, was crushed to pieces by Wan Wan's small hand. The palm of Wan Wan had terrifying heat emanating, and the central part of the Gale Clan warrior's body suddenly burned, in the blink of an eye, a huge person burned into a pile of ashes, along with his armor burned into a pool of juice.

Wan Wan bit her teeth tightly, carefully placed Ji Hao on her back, carrying him with tiny steps, quickly rushing into the deeper dense forest.

"Wan Wan, killed someone." Wan Wan cried and whimpered: "It wasn't Wan Wan who accidentally hit him to death, it was Wan Wan who really wanted to kill him, Wan Wan is really killing someone."

Ji Hao took a deep breath and patted Wan Wan's head hard: "It's okay, killing more makes it familiar."

Ji Hao also thought this line wasn't suitable for comforting a little girl, sure enough, Wan Wan cried even harder after hearing Ji Hao's words.

Behind them came countless high-pitched whistles, the sound of breaking the air dense and coming, at least a dozen Gale Clan warriors had discovered them.
