Chapter 357: Killing with a Fist

The two of them opened the warehouse with smug expressions, but the scene in front of them stunned them.
The general rubbed his eyes and slapped the Ascension Army soldier.
The latter was stunned. What did he do wrong?!!
“Does it hurt?” The general asked. The Ascension Army soldier who came in covered his face and hurriedly nodded.
The little guy hiding in the dark could not help but laugh.
“Before the emperor left, did he order to move the things in the treasure vault to the underground hall?”
“The things in the treasure vault need the decree of the emperor. How can it be transferred?”
“This is bad. What the heck are you waiting for? Quickly inform the higher-ups that someone has broken in.”
When he saw the Ascension Army soldier behind him still standing on the spot foolishly, the general who was prepared to exchange for an earth-rank spirit artifact slapped him again and cursed angrily. At this moment, he was filled with regret. After he advanced, he was in charge of this area. He originally thought that it was a lucrative job, and it was impossible to find anything missing usually, so it naturally entered his pocket.
However, it was different now. All the treasures in the treasure vault were gone. Even the Ascension Immortal Dynasty placed great importance on these things. On the first day he took the job, such a huge thing had happened. Wasn’t this killing him?
The Ascension Army soldier hurriedly reacted. As soon as the two of them turned around, a black shadow descended, and fear appeared on their faces. Along with two muffled groans, the two of them did not have the time to react before they lay on the ground.
The one who attacked was Lin Hao. It was easy for him to deal with these two small fry who were not even at the Golden Core realm.
“Their words have a deeper meaning. Looks like the Ascension Immortal Dynasty has more than one treasure vault. I really don’t know how many treasures they’ve seized over the years.” Lin Hao looked at the three people who walked out and sighed in surprise.
Lin Xuan nodded. The Ascension Immortal Dynasty had dominated the Northern Azure Continent for ten thousand years. Just as the outside world had said, there was nothing they wanted that they could not obtain. They had killed countless families who opposed them, so how could their heritage be limited to this?
“In that case, let’s turn the Ascension Immortal Dynasty upside down and take everything we can.” Lin Xuan did not feel embarrassed at all about the Ascension Immortal Dynasty. This kind of faction should have been destroyed long ago.
The younger generation had basically been killed by him. After this battle, almost all the top combat forces of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty had died. As a faction that had existed for more than ten thousand years, Lin Xuan always felt that it was impossible for the Ascension Immortal Dynasty to be easily destroyed, so he would completely destroy its foundation. It was best if he could destroy the Ascension Immortal Dynasty, but if he could not, he would make their upper echelons lonely.
Lin Hao smiled helplessly when he saw his son. Perhaps he would have to give up the position of the family head early.
When the two Ascension Soldiers guarding the treasure vault outside heard footsteps, they hurriedly turned around and prepared to bow. However, before their bodies could move, they were beaten to the ground by Lin Hao.
Lin Hao did not hide the aura on his body. As soon as he attacked, he was captured by the spiritual sense wandering in the air. Immediately, the expressions of the masters of the several spiritual senses changed.
“Foreign enemies have invaded. General Li, lead the troops and capture them!”
As expected of the Immortal Dynasty that had existed for ten thousand years. When they encountered external enemies, orders were issued one after another. In just half a breath, a large number of Ascension Soldiers were transferred over.
A faint spiritual qi barrier appeared in the sky of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty, forming a barrier to prevent Lin Xuan and the others from escaping.
Footsteps sounded from the ground. A general in black armor led more than a hundred Ascension Army soldiers to surround the four of them.
“Who goes there? Without the permission of the imperial decree, trespassing into the territory of the Immortal Dynasty is a capital offense.” The black-armored general, Li Jian, looked at the three and said sternly.
“Qi Mountain County’s Lin family’s head, Lin Hao, why would I need the permission of your dead emperor to come here?” Lin Hao looked at Li Jian and snorted coldly, his powerful aura involuntarily spreading.
Lin Xuan was a father and could not keep a straight face at all times. However, he was not so easygoing towards external enemies.
“How dare you curse my emperor’s death? You deserve a punishment!” Li Jian pointed the sword in his hand at Lin Hao and berated.
“Take him down!”
“Go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred Ascension Army soldiers raised the spears in their hands and rushed towards Lin Hao. Lin Hao merely glanced at them. Before the Ascension Army could approach him, the aura on his body rumbled and swept towards the surroundings.
Over a hundred Ascension Soldiers were instantly sent flying by this breath of air. Some of them spat out blood and died, and they were almost completely annihilated.
Li Jian looked at the scene in front of him and was immediately shocked.
“How dare you resist? I’ll kill you on the spot today.” Li Jian looked at Lin Hao and shouted in a low voice.
It was not a problem for these hundreds of Ascension Army soldiers who had undergone training to join forces to deal with ordinary Purple Prefecture Realm experts. However, Lin Hao had almost killed them with just his aura. He had yet to see through Lin Hao’s background and was very likely a Golden Core expert at the same level as him. This made him not dare to be careless.
The sword in his hand trembled lightly, and a strand of sword qi erupted from his body. In the blink of an eye, his entire body was enveloped by the sword qi, and he brought about waves of violent wind as he instantly charged out.
Lin Hao, who was standing on the spot, looked at the sword qi storm that swept over and shook his head, “All show and no go!”
Just as Li Jian was about to approach him, Lin Hao’s figure flashed and punched out. With a bang, the sword qi that filled the air instantly dissipated. Li Jian’s body was blasted into the city wall and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Hurry up!”
Three more generals rushed over with nearly a thousand Ascension Army soldiers. These three generals happened to see the scene of Lin Hao sending Li Jian flying with a punch. Before their voices could completely fall, their pupils suddenly constricted. The footsteps of the other Ascension Army soldiers stopped.
“General Li is dead…” Someone shouted and looked at Lin Hao again with fear.
This was the periphery of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty, and the powerful higher-ups could not come into contact with it at all. A Golden Core expert like Li Jian was undoubtedly a ceiling-level figure to these Ascension troops.
Coupled with the fact that Li Jian was in charge of ordinary training, this made his reputation in the Ascension Army extremely high. At this moment, he was killed with a punch, and it caused them to be extremely shocked.
“Do you know that killing a general of the Immortal Dynasty is a huge crime that will get your nine generations executed? Aren’t you afraid of implicating the forces behind you?” The general who had just arrived looked at Lin Hao and said with some fear.
Most of the experts of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty were sent out. Only the few of them were left guarding the periphery. Seeing Lin Hao attack, they could not resist at all.
However, even though they knew that they were no match for him, they did not dare to retreat. Fleeing before the battle was enough to affect their family and bring about a calamity.
This was why these generals of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty were helpless.
“Xuan’er, go elsewhere first. Leave this to me.. After dealing with these people, I’ll go over,” Lin Hao turned and said to Lin Xuan.
