The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Cruel and Heartless! The Molten Fire Golden Body Achieves Perfection!

“A Hao, staying behind alone… is too dangerous.”

In the evening, Chen Yuan Zheng said, filled with concern. The other two blacksmiths also felt both grateful and worried, fully aware that their ability to leave hinged on Su Hao’s voluntary decision to stay, which convinced Wang Yongsi; otherwise, they would never have been able to leave so easily. But as they departed, Su Hao remained alone in this Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair.

“Don’t worry, I have my value. I can do well here in the Black Deer Army, and when the opportunity arises, I will find a way to slip away.”

Su Hao smiled, reassuring everyone. Chen Yuan Zheng and the others naturally did not know that their presence here had actually put Su Hao in a bind.

“Well… alright then.”

After discussing for a while, Chen Yuan Zheng and the others finally agreed, understanding that this opportunity was brought about by Su Hao’s selflessness; if they didn’t leave, it would only seem overly sentimental and ungrateful.

The next day arrived. Early in the morning, Wang Yongsi’s trusted confidant, Yu Feng, came to lead Chen Yuan Zheng and the other three out of the valley.

“Finally, we can stop being so constrained and just look for an opportunity to leave.”

In the forging room, Su Hao was crafting an initiated grade weapon, easing one of his worries, and he felt much more relaxed.

Three days later, Yu Feng returned to the valley and approached Su Hao, saying, “Master Su, rest assured, I have personally seen Chen Master and the others back home.”

“Then… that’s good.”Su Hao slightly nodded and continued with his work. In the evening, as usual, he practiced the Iron Head Technique, but suddenly his ears perked up. After five sessions of refining strength, his senses had become frighteningly sharp; even from a hundred meters away, he could hear the buzzing of mosquitoes.

“It’s the soldiers from the Black Deer Army talking to Yu Feng.”

Su Hao focused his mind and listened to the conversation outside the courtyard.

“Those three blacksmiths begged for mercy right up until the end… claiming they would be willing to serve us for a lifetime. But it’s a pity their hearts weren’t in it; they were only headed for death!”

The voices gradually became clearer, and upon hearing Yu Feng’s words, Su Hao was instantly shocked and stunned.

“They deserve to die. Lord Wang treated them to good food and drink, and provided them with money and women without hesitation. Yet, they only thought about leaving, so they can’t blame us for being ruthless!”

“One thing Lord Wang can’t tolerate is betrayal. That Su kid is just a blacksmith; Lord Wang has always valued talent, treating him with courtesy. If he doesn’t obey, he’ll end up the same way.”

A soldier from the Black Deer Army coldly snorted.

“Alright, you all stay alert and don’t be lazy.”

Finally, Yu Feng instructed a few people and then left, returning everything to silence. The group was unaware that Su Hao, keenly attuned, had heard their entire conversation clearly. At that moment, however, Su Hao’s expression was extremely grim, a surge of anger burning in his heart as if it were about to explode!

“Master Chen and the others are dead? Killed by Yu Feng and the others?”

Su Hao was overwhelmed with shock and fury, this sudden news igniting a murderous intent within him. In his view, he had voluntarily suggested staying behind to allow Chen Yuan Zheng and the others to leave; the Black Deer Army had no need to kill them. They were just a few blacksmiths and posed no threat, so there was no justification for their deaths.

But for Wang Yongsi, Yu Feng, and the others in the Black Deer Army, the fact that Chen Yuan Zheng and the others wanted to leave and refused to continue serving the army had already sealed their fate.

Proposing to leave in front of everyone had already aroused Wang Yongsi’s murderous intent. On the surface, he generously agreed to let Chen Yuan Zheng and the others leave, but in reality, he instructed Yu Feng to deal with them on the way, cruelly and ruthlessly, without any humanity!

“Wang Yongsi… you probably think of yourself as a Cleansing Marrow Stage Martial Artist, with a lifespan of two hundred years, and that stepping on a few ants doesn’t mean anything to you. But I will make sure you… die a terrible death!”

Su Hao’s eyes ignited with intense killing intent, turning the temperature in the small courtyard icy cold.

Chen Yuan Zheng and the other blacksmiths had a good relationship with Su Hao; they were colleagues in the Forging Weaponry Workshop, often chatting and considered friends. They poured their efforts into creating the Fire Glazed Armor for Wang Yongsi, only to be cruelly discarded, wiped out without a second thought!

Originally, Su Hao just wanted to find a way to leave, without having to confront Wang Yongsi one way or another. But now, his murderous intent toward Wang Yongsi had reached an extreme point; he would make sure that the commander paid the most painful price!

“Just wait a moment… it won’t be long. Once my Molten Fire Golden Body reaches Perfection, I will send Wang Yongsi on his way!”

Su Hao took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. He wasn’t a hot-headed youth; upon suddenly learning of Chen Yuan Zheng and the others’ demise, he maintained his rationality. He needed to be completely confident in killing Wang Yongsi! Otherwise, seeking vengeance and losing his own life would be foolish!

Iron Head Technique (Perfection), Refining (small accomplishment)

Potential Points: 121 points (Dragon Among Men)

At that moment, Su Hao had already perfected the Iron Head Technique, and his skill in refining had reached a small accomplishment, greatly enhancing his potential. At his current level, every increase of 1 point was visibly significant!

Su Hao sat cross-legged, his fiery energy surging around him. He emptied his mind, allowing the fiery energy to spread toward his head. The vitality around him became increasingly thick and natural, flowing freely!

Time passed, and two months flew by. During these two months, it was as if Su Hao was completely unaware of the deaths of Chen Yuan Zheng and the other blacksmiths. He devoted himself to working hard in the forging room every day.

On another night, under a deep moonlit sky, in the practice room of Su Hao’s residence, he sat quietly, his vitality boiling, transformed into a fiery energy. However, it was restrained at the surface of his body, preventing the ground from cracking due to the flames. Even so, the scarlet fiery energy enveloping Su Hao distorted the air around him, visibly revealing a scorching heat capable of melting gold and iron!

Su Hao’s mind was clear, as if he had returned to nature, controlling everything around him from a god-like perspective.

Hoo!

Silently, the fiery energy spread from Su Hao’s neck upwards, enveloping his entire head and, at that moment, the Molten Fire Golden Body had no more flaws! It covered every inch of his skin!

“Boom!”

At the instant the fiery energy enveloped his body, Su Hao’s vital blood surged, and the scarlet fiery energy trembled violently, giving birth to streams of azure that gradually covered all the red, transforming into a pure blue color.

This blue fiery energy was even more restrained and hotter; once it erupted, it would possess the power to turn the ground into barren wasteland!

The furnace’s fire had reached its pinnacle! Perfected!

“Hoo!”

Su Hao let out a breath, his hot exhale scorching the air and distorting it, while the blue flames around him gradually dissipated into nothingness.

Molten Fire Golden Body (Perfection)

Potential Points: 131 points (Dragon Among Men)

In the attribute panel, the Molten Fire Golden Body had broken through to the realm of Perfection from the state of great accomplishment! His potential surged dramatically as well!

“The Molten Fire Golden Body is finally perfected.”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Hao’s mouth.

Since his potential transformed him into the Dragon Among Men, Su Hao had spent a year integrating his Martial Arts to completely elevate his self-created Molten Fire Golden Body to the realm of perfection!
