Chapter 60: Healing
In the evening, the remnants of the sun gradually disappeared.
Su Hao walked back to the academy with a delighted expression on his face.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar aura on the edge of his radar, eerie and dispersed.
"A murderer?" Su Hao's eyes widened, and his blood surged as he expanded the radar's sensing range.
Yes, it was that familiar feeling.
Su Hao was surprised that the other party hadn't died. Not only had they survived, but they also dared to show up despite sustaining such serious injuries. He felt a hint of admiration for the person.
What a ruthless individual!
To be precise, it wasn't the murderer himself but the person controlled by the murderer.
Moreover, Su Hao not only sensed the strange aura of the controlled person but also a familiar aura on that person.
"Xiao Mei?" Su Hao pictured Xiao Mei sitting by the window, engrossed in reading.
Su Hao couldn't help but scratch his head and said helplessly, "It seems I'm not the only unlucky one. Some people have encountered life-threatening accidents when they were young."
Su Hao wasn't in a hurry. Since he had encountered the situation, the murderer would come to an end tonight.
During the previous battle, he had already figured out the murderer's background. Tonight, he had no intention of giving the murderer any chance of survival.
If he allowed such an inhumane person to continue existing, who knows what might happen in the future? It might even lead to regret. After all, in this world, there were few people he cared about, but there were still some.
He covered his face and continued using the radar to keep his distance behind the controlled person.
After the incident last time, the other party had clearly learned their lesson. This time, they didn't walk straight toward their lair but carefully avoided the crowd. After a series of twists and turns, they finally reached their destination.
Su Hao once again sensed the murderer's true identity.
"Isn't this the high-level residential area of Lingyun Town?" Su Hao confirmed once again. This place was the residence of the officials of Lingyun Town.
Su Hao thought of Jin Datong, whom he had saved before. Could he be related to this?
Su Hao circled around the mansion where the murderer stayed and, when he arrived at the main gate, he saw the two characters "Jin Mansion" on the plaque.
"As expected, it is related to Jin Datong." Su Hao frowned and amplified his perception. Jin Datong wasn't nearby.
Apart from the murderer, there were no other masters in Jin Mansion.
Su Hao didn't hesitate anymore. He drew his long knife and jumped over the wall, heading straight for the murderer. He didn't want to be late and lose Xiao Mei.
He encountered obstacles along the way but jumped over them directly. Soon, he arrived in front of a luxurious house.
In Su Hao's perception, the murderer, the controlled person, and Xiao Mei were all inside.
He didn't stop, and with his knife gleaming, he split the entrance in two and rushed in.
Their eyes met.
The murderer immediately shouted in anger, "It's you! Dwarf!"
His voice contained endless rage, but it was more fear in the face of Su Hao.
Su Hao narrowed his eyes, didn't say a word, and unleashed his blood qi, rushing towards the murderer.
As he approached the opponent, he swung his long knife.
"Swish!"
The knives clashed, and the murderer's pupils contracted. The force from the knife was not too heavy, but too light.
"Shadow Slide!"
Su Hao swiftly twisted his body and appeared behind the murderer.
"Devious Thrust!"
The tip of the long knife stabbed upward.
Fear filled the murderer's eyes as he immediately used a life-saving skill.
"Barrier!"
Just like last time, a faint red light enveloped his entire body.
Su Hao's knife was unable to penetrate the murderer's head. At this moment, the counterattack from the murderer came, and Su Hao jumped back.
Unexpectedly, something happened that Su Hao didn't anticipate.
The murderer suddenly shouted loudly toward the sky, using a high-pitched voice that exceeded "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau": "Big... Brother... Save... Me..."
The sound broke through the silence of the sky, tearing open a rift.
Su Hao almost cursed. Not only was this guy difficult to defeat, but he also called for help. That was too much!
He immediately swung his knife and approached.
"Shadow Slide!"
Su Hao circled around to the side again and slashed.
The murderer thought it was a feint attack, ready to change his stance and block the attack no matter what until his big brother arrived to save him.
However, he miscalculated. Su Hao's strike was powerful and heavy. With just one strike, he sent the murderer flying, crashing into the wall.
It seemed that his old injuries hadn't fully healed as he spat out blood.
At that moment, a powerful aura appeared within Su Hao's perception range, rapidly approaching.
It was Jin Datong.
Jin Datong was the big brother of this murderer!
Su Hao rushed toward the murderer without showing any expression, denying him any chance to catch his breath.
He aimed the tip of his knife at the murderer and thrust it towards his face.
The murderer stared at Su Hao's knife, and in a high-pitched voice, he immediately yelled, "It's you! You bastard! You damn bastard!"
The murderer's fierce gaze locked onto Su Hao.
Jin Datong, standing at two meters tall, began to expand his muscles, causing his loose clothes to tighten, making him look like a small giant.
His fists shook, and a pair of steel gloves instantly covered his hands.
Jin Datong's massive physique exerted great pressure on Su Hao, who was only around one meter and a half tall.
"Die!" Jin Datong, like a fierce tiger, pounced forward and aimed a punch at Su Hao's head, as if he intended to smash Su Hao into the ground.
Su Hao agilely leaped back to avoid the punch. Although he didn't know if he could withstand the attack, he didn't want to risk it. Jin Datong's overwhelming presence was too strong, not just in terms of his size but also his momentum.
"Boom!" Rubble flew.
Jin Datong's fist struck the ground, causing the whole house to tremble, and dust fell from the ceiling.
When Su Hao beheaded the murderer, his left hand had already started drawing the "Strong Light" rune. At this moment, the rune was complete.
He pretended to run, and when Jin Datong caught up, Su Hao quietly opened his palm.
"Strong Light!"
A powerful burst of light erupted from his palm, catching Jin Datong off guard and blinding him. Jin Datong covered his eyes with one hand and instinctively moved his head aside, narrowly avoiding Su Hao's knife aimed at his head.
However, it didn't end there.
Su Hao's long knife, which was propped against the side of Jin Datong's head, turned as he swung it.
"Poof!"
Accompanied by a muffled yet crisp sound, a head rolled off, blood spraying and splattering on the wall.
Su Hao hooked his foot, and the murderer's treasured knife ended up in his hand. He gave it a swing and found the feel to be quite good.
"
Bang!"
The wall shattered, and a figure rushed into the room amidst the debris. At a glance, he locked onto the headless murderer. It was none other than Jin Datong.
"Da Mo!!!" Jin Datong let out a mournful roar.
His eyes widened with bloodshot, veins bulging in his eyes, and his expression filled with ferocity. His whole face looked monstrous.
"It's you! It's you again! You bastard! You damn bastard!"
Jin Datong's raging eyes locked onto Su Hao.
As Su Hao faced Jin Datong, who was over two meters tall, his muscles began to expand, making his loose clothes tight, resembling a small giant.
With both hands trembling, a pair of steel gauntlets instantly covered his fists.
Jin Datong's imposing figure put immense pressure on Su Hao, who was just a little over one meter tall.
"Die!" Jin Datong's massive body rushed forward like a fierce tiger, aiming a punch at Su Hao's head.
He intended to smash Su Hao into the ground.
Su Hao leaned back, evading the punch, and used his foot to push against the hilt of the knife embedded in Jin Datong's body.
"Whoosh!"
The knife didn't fully penetrate Jin Datong, but it caused him pain. He staggered back two steps, while Su Hao took advantage of the force to move away.
Tears streamed down Jin Datong's bloodshot eyes as he stared at Su Hao, burning with fury. He no longer rushed to attack.
He seemed to realize that although Su Hao was small in stature, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he wasn't careful, he would also fall here.
Su Hao breathed heavily, needing more oxygen after the intense battle in such a short period.
Jin Datong also took deep breaths.
He looked at the blade embedded in his chest. Due to the intense movements, blood flowed from the wound. Then he reached out and grabbed the handle, slowly pulling it out.
Su Hao winced as he watched; it was painful even to look at.
Jin Datong casually threw the retrieved knife on the ground.
"Clang!"
He clenched his fists, veins popping on his forehead.
"Healing!"
Immediately after, Su Hao witnessed an incredible scene.
The knife wound on Jin Datong's chest visibly stopped bleeding and started to heal. Eventually, only a shallow scar remained!
Su Hao cursed inwardly, "What the hell is this! Can he regenerate?"
