Chapter 1325 - 1320: Seizing by Force
Whoosh!
In the not-so-spacious corridor, a sudden gust of wind rose up.
It was the forceful wind stirred up when Hall Master Wu moved.
In everyone’s eyes, the training hall turned into a streak of white Phantom that flashed in front of Qin Hao. A foot lashed out at him, dashing, clean, vicious!
"It’s coming! My cousin’s signature move, the Tornado Kick!" In that instant, Teacher Liu clenched his fists, face full of excitement.
The others all shook their heads slightly.
The hall’s trump card was close-quarters combat.
Yet Qin Hao had let someone get in close so easily, and he hadn’t even reacted.
No need to say it, the outcome was already obvious.
"What a pity! I thought he was a real fighter. Didn’t expect he only knows how to run his mouth."
"Yeah, for a moment there I actually thought he was really strong, could go two minutes with the Hall Master. Now it seems I was wrong."
"Idiot! Absolute idiot!"
Just as everyone was inwardly sneering, something unbelievable happened.
They saw Qin Hao, who hadn’t moved at all, suddenly move.
His hand lightly patted out, landing right on Hall Master Wu’s onrushing ankle.
Crack... crunch!
The sound of bone snapping was jarringly sharp. With that casual slap, Hall Master Wu’s body shot backward like it had been hit by a car.
Crash!
His body slammed into the glass showcase, then fell to the ground amid a shower of glass shards.
After that, his features twisted with pain. He stared dead at Qin Hao, eyes full of terror!
He hadn’t expected to lose so miserably; the pride in his heart turned into fear.
A deep, bone-chilling fear!
In the antique circle, Hall Master Wu was considered a bottom-tier nobody.
But in the Mortal World, he was a well-known expert.
Yet someone like him wasn’t even enough for Qin Hao to bother with!
Then what level had Qin Hao reached?
"Someone from an Ancient Martial Clan!"
In an instant, Hall Master Wu’s expression grew even uglier.
He glanced at his swollen, reddened ankle, his heart sinking into despair!
The injury on this ankle was almost identical to Teacher Liu’s.
Didn’t that prove the other party had done it on purpose?
"My god! How is he this strong! He can even calculate my injury down to the exact degree! Even among the Ancient Martial Family, this would be top-tier strength, right?!"
The more Hall Master Wu thought, the more terrified he became; the more he thought, the more he wanted to cry. In his heart he cursed his damned cousin all over again.
Meanwhile.
On the other side, as Hall Master Wu hit the ground, Teacher Liu and the other experts in the hall fell into inescapable shock.
Their expressions were as exaggerated as if they’d seen a ghost.
In their eyes lurked a bottomless panic!
The final boss of the hall had been one-shotted.
Didn’t that mean Qin Hao’s strength had already blown past the ceiling?
Terrifying! There was no way they could resist this, okay!
The first to snap out of it was Teacher Liu.
Because of his fear, he subconsciously took a step back and tripped over his cane, falling to the floor.
Thud!
His butt hurt, but not as much as Teacher Liu’s heart.
He suddenly remembered that Qin Hao had told everyone here to attack together.
That wasn’t a joke! And it wasn’t arrogance!
It was real! Even if everyone on their side went at Qin Hao together, he could still handle it.
No, it wasn’t just "handle it" anymore.
Judging by how relaxed he was when he one-shotted Hall Master Wu...
All the instructors in the hall together weren’t enough for one of his hands!
Thinking of this, Teacher Liu felt his heart turning to ice, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. Offending this kind of expert—regret!
Amid the panicked silence, Qin Hao casually shook his wrist and said blandly, "I told you all to come at me together. You just had to ignore me. Now look what happened."
Just like before, Qin Hao’s expression was still that calm.
But no one thought he was blindly arrogant anymore.
After all, he had the strength to back it up!
This wasn’t just showing off, it was the kind of showing off that left people helpless!
What the hell is this!
The hall’s instructors wore bitter expressions, completely unable to retort.
Qin Hao flicked his head. "Since that’s the case, let’s wrap this up."
Hearing this, everyone secretly relaxed, thinking they could go home now.
Hall Master Wu, supported by Teacher Liu, struggled to his feet, just about to tell his cousin to leave with him.
Who knew Qin Hao’s light, drifting voice would come: "Once you sign the transfer contract for the hall, you can all go."
"Transfer contract?"
At first, Hall Master Wu thought he’d misheard.
But when he saw his cousin’s and the other instructors’ ashen, ghost-struck faces, his own face went white, and he vaguely realized he hadn’t misheard at all!
"You... you don’t... go too far!"
Hall Master Wu’s face was pale as he squeezed out a threat with great effort.
"Too far?" Qin Hao raised an eyebrow, speaking mildly. "Then I’ll take it a step further. Not only do you have to sign the contract, you also need to have this so-called cousin of yours get his other leg broken."
"You!"
This time, it wasn’t just Hall Master Wu who was trembling.
Teacher Liu at his side was scared out of his wits as well, wishing he could bolt right that second.
"Of course, you can refuse." Qin Hao ran a hand through his hair, speaking carelessly. "As long as each of you leaves behind one hand instead."
One... hand!?
At once, those instructors were so scared they were on the verge of tears.
"Big bro! This has nothing to do with us!"
"Yeah! We didn’t even make a move! We were just here for show!"
"Big bro, don’t do this, okay! I’m begging you here!"
The instructors very spinelessly began begging for mercy, trying to wash their hands of it.
Seeing this, Hall Master Wu was so angry he almost spat blood.
All his calculations, yet he’d never factored in that his own people were all ungrateful bastards!
After Qin Hao let them talk it out, he said coldly, "Hmph! My terms don’t change. If your Hall Master doesn’t agree, you’re all going to suffer for it!"
"Ah!"
The instructors reacted like they’d been struck by lightning, then after a brief pause, all surrounded Hall Master Wu.
"Hall Master... maybe just agree to him..."
"Yeah... the hall might be important, but our lives are more important!"
"We pissed off someone from a legendary Noble Families of Martial Arts... this is our bad luck. Just treat it as losing money to ward off disaster..."
Listening to the chorus, Hall Master Wu’s face flushed a liver-purple.
He roared, "You bunch of ingrates biting the hand that feeds you, easy for you to talk when you’re not the one losing anything!"
They were all scolded bloody, heads lowered, not daring to talk back.
Heartbroken, Hall Master Wu looked at Qin Hao with a dark expression. "You know how much blood and sweat I put into this hall. For you to seize it like this... I’d rather die than give in!"
"Who said I’m robbing you? We can negotiate the price." Qin Hao waved his hand lightly. "How about three hundred thousand?"
"Three hundred thousand? Why don’t you just go rob someone!"
Hall Master Wu exploded, "I spent several million just on promotion and renovation! And you want to take it for three hundred thousand! That’s outrageous!"
Qin Hao suddenly laughed, casually, but his eyes were cold, like a knife stabbing straight into Hall Master Wu’s heart.
In an instant, Hall Master Wu felt his whole body go cold. Even with Teacher Liu holding him up, his legs went weak and he sagged to the floor.
Cold sweat pouring down, he heard footsteps coming closer. He lifted his head and saw Qin Hao standing in front of him, face expressionless, like a king looking down from on high!
