North Martial Empire, Ancient Dragon City, Liu Estate.
"It's Penetrating Fist!"
In an ordinary small courtyard, Liu Hao's face was completely red, and his body was in a strange posture. It was because he was only wearing a suit of armor, so it was clear that the veins on his arm were bulging.
Pa!
As Liu Hao's fist struck out, the small tree that was as thick as an arm in front of him swayed a little. Leaves scattered down like rain.
"Brother, you're awesome!"
On the other side, the cute girl with butterfly-head hair clapped her hands and cheered excitedly, and her little face was full of worship.
"Alas, sister, don't make a fool of yourself. I want to find a hole to hide in."
Looking at his sister's innocent look, Liu Hao gave a wry smile. This Penetrating Fist was the basic punching skill of the Liu Family. He had practiced it for more than two years.
Penetrating Fist was famous for its fist strength. According to the introduction of the fist manual, if he practiced it to the succeed, the fist strength would circle between his arms and could strike out eight hidden forces!
Because this punch was simple and easy to understand, it was easy to practice. Therefore, the Liu family gave it to juniors to practice in front of the basic punching skill.
Among the clansmen who practiced Penetrating Fist with Liu Hao at the same time, the weakest one could shoot out four Inward Strength or even seven Inward Strength geniuses.
However, Liu Hao was still unable to display his hidden strength!
This kind of result was undoubtedly at the bottom of the Liu family, a big family. In this world where the strong were respected, no one looked down on the weak.
Therefore, even though he was left behind by the previous clan head, Liu Hao's position within the Liu clan was not much different from some servants.
"Hee hee, big brother is always the most powerful. I believe that one day, big brother will become a peerless master who can look down on the sky."
The girl's face was full of innocence.
Her name was Shuang'er. She was 12 years old. Ten years ago, on a snowy night, she was picked up by Liu Hao's father as an orphan.
After Liu Hao's father disappeared three years ago, the two siblings had been dependent on each other until now.
"An exceptional expert." A bitterness spread from the corner of Liu Hao's mouth. He raised his head and looked into the starry sky. In this world, which martial artist didn't dream of becoming an unmatched expert?
However, how many martial artists in the Land of Origin Martial Continent could become peerless experts?
While Liu Hao was absent-minded, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Brother Hao, good news."
When he looked at the entrance of the yard, he saw a young man who was about the same age as Liu Hao running in in a hurry.
Liu Xiaodao was one of the best friends among his peers in the Liu Family.
Looking at the complacency on Liu Xiaodao's face, Liu Hao asked, "Saber, what's the news?"
"I went to the back of the mountain to look for spiritual herbs yesterday and met a fire-skinned fox. I ran away in a panic, but I didn't expect to encounter a piece of fire yang grass."
Liu Xiaodao said with a smile.
Liu Hao was overjoyed when he heard the news of the Fiery Sun Grass. He grabbed Liu Xiaodao's hand and excitedly said, "Saber, quickly bring me there!"
It was not Liu Hao's fault for being so agitated. His younger sister, Shuang'er, had had a strange illness since she was young. Once the illness broke out, her entire body would emit a chill, and her body would turn as cold as ice.
This type of illness could be suppressed by the Fiery Solar Grass. When his father was still alive, Liu Hao naturally didn't feel any worry for the Fiery Solar Grass.
However, after his father's disappearance, those clansmen of the Liu Family were very strict with their brother and sister. The task of the Fiery Sun Grass also fell on Liu Hao.
But this year, her sister consumed more and more Fiery Sun Grass. The thirty stalks of Fiery Sun Grass that she had found with great difficulty a few days ago were now half eaten.
"Brother Hao, don't worry. I came here to take you to pick the Fiery Sun Grass." Liu Xiaodao's eyes flashed and he smiled.
"Shuang'er, stay at home. I'll pick the Fiery Sun Grass for you right now." Liu Hao said to Shuang'er in a good mood before leaving with Liu Xiaodao.
The two of them ran toward the back mountain of the Liu family.
The Liu Clan was one of the four great clans of the Ancient Dragon City. Their mansion was built against a mountain, and there were many powerful origin beasts at the back of the mountain.
Origin beasts were a kind of beasts that had cultivated to the spirit level. They were very fierce. The younger generation of the Liu Family often came to the origin beasts to practice martial arts.
The closer they got to the deep mountains, the stronger the origin beasts became. Generally, the younger generations of the Liu Family only dared to walk around the periphery and dared not go deep.
Liu Hao followed Liu Xiaodao to pick a path and soon entered the depths of the back mountain. Because he was worried about the Fiery Solar Grass, Liu Hao did not care.
Under the guidance of Liu Xiaodao, after about two hours, Liu Hao felt that the air became hot. At this time, Liu Xiaodao said, "Brother Hao, it's right in front."
Sure enough, after walking for a few minutes, a patch of red grass caught Liu Hao's attention. It was a large expanse of Fiery Sun Grass.
"So many Fiery Sun Grass!"
Liu Hao was ecstatic. It seemed like there were several thousand stalks of Fiery Sun Grass here, so picking them back would be enough for his younger sister to eat for a few months.
When he got closer, he found that there was a hot cliff behind the Fiery Sun Grass. Liu Hao squatted down to pick the Fiery Sun Grass.
"Liu Hao, I'm sorry!"
At this moment, Liu Xiaodao's voice came from behind.
An ominous feeling welled up in Liu Hao's heart. As soon as he turned around, he saw a palm magnified in his eyes and fell on his chest.
"Why?"
Liu Hao's eyes were full of disbelief. His body flew backward under Liu Xiaodao's palm and fell to the cliff.
He couldn't believe that Liu Xiaodao, who had always been on good terms with him, would actually attack him!
His body swiftly fell. The heat wave that surged from the bottom of the cliff quickly burned the clothes on Liu Hao's back. Liu Hao's eyes were filled with despair.
The only thing he cared about now was his sister.
"Father, I'm sorry. I can't take care of my sister."
"Sister, take care of yourself!"
Liu Hao closed his eyes. He did not know how tall this cliff was, but just the heat waves that floated up were enough to burn him into charred coal.
His consciousness slowly sank into darkness as he fell rapidly.
However, after who knew how much time had passed, Liu Hao discovered that he didn't die. He appeared in a strange space. This space was barren, deathly still.
Suddenly, a book appeared in the distance.
Then, another person appeared.
The moment he saw this person, Liu Hao's entire body trembled. He cried out in alarm, "Father!"
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be his father, Liu Changzong.
His father's body was covered with flames. He started to fight with that book. In the end, that book swallowed Liu Changzong in one go.
"No!"
Liu Hao's eyes were about to split open. He crazily rushed forward, but drops of blood dripped down from the book.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes were filled with blood and madness. Then, he grabbed the book and bit it.
Liu Hao went crazy at the same time, but he didn't know that the book stained with blood became vulnerable. It was torn into pieces by his bite and swallowed into his stomach.
"Ah!"
But after swallowing the book, Liu Hao felt that there were countless silver needles flowing in his body. The indescribable pain attacked every nerve.
He passed out.
After who knew how much time had passed, Liu Hao woke up again. He discovered that he actually returned to the cliff, laying in the Fiery Sun Grass.
"I'm not dead?"
Liu Hao pinched his own face. The pain told him that he wasn't dreaming.
"Yi?" In the blink of an eye, Liu Hao discovered a piece of blood jade at his side. When he grabbed it, his expression immediately changed greatly!
"It's my father's jade pendant!"
Liu Hao remembered this jade pendant very clearly. His father had always kept it with him, but now the jade pendant was here. Where was that person?
