756 A crippled person (1/2)
”Who?!” Tian Gang's eyes were full of murderous intent. He was this close to killing Su Hao and yet someone is here to create trouble for him? This is the Tian family's territory! Even if another world esper comes here, he would have to kneel!
”Someone is here?” Su Hao's body was drenched in cold sweat. He literally felt that he would not last any longer. After all, he was facing a world esper! An esper who just needs to raise a finger to kill countless strong espers! In fact, even when they exchanged words, a lot of his mental strength had to be consumed. Plus, isn't the current him a cripple?
At times, he didn't even know why he was trying to delay for time.
Li Tiantian fought to bring him time. The residents of Kingdom of Heaven fought to buy him time. Even that damn giant tree fought to delay time for him too. Thus, he kept waiting, waiting for that dim hope.
And now, that hope had arrived.
Who is it?
Su Hao raised his head up and saw that familiar figure. It was the same old man who saved him in Zhanzheng College, that peak world esper!
”Senior...” Su Hao lost his consciousness and fainted. Chen Yiran quickly went to help him up.
Boom!
That old man stepped out from the space.
”It's you!” Tian Gang suddenly trembled, crying out in fear.
He was still wondering a second ago which world esper was so daring to step into the Tian family's territory and it turned out to be this man!
”Previously in Zhanzheng College...” Tian Gang seemed to have thought of something.
”Yes, it was me.” That old man maintained his calm composure. Tian Gang could only bitterly smile. The one behind Su Hao's back turned out to be him!
”These few children, I'm bringing them away.” That old man didn't waste his time with any nonsense. With a wave of a hand, he got Su Hao and the others in his grasp. Tian Gang began to panic and grit his teeth, blocking that old man, ”No matter what, this is still the Tian family's territory. I advise...”
”Get lost!”
”Pftt~” Tian Gang was sent flying as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
”If it's the old ancestor of the Tian family, perhaps I might be afraid for a bit. However, you are merely a young brat. On what qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of me?” That old man coldly stared at Tian Gang. Emitting his killing intent for a second, he then vanished with Su Hao and his friends, leaving behind the injured Tian Gang who was full of hatred and regret.
However, he quickly thought about this clearly.
Although the wedding was distributed, both Li Tiantian and Xiao Die had been executed. The Tian family could consider it as claiming back its face. Meanwhile, as for the most threatening man, Su Hao...
”His origin ability has been crippled, this boy is no longer a concern!” Tian Gang sneered. So what if that man took action? Although Su Hao managed to stop Rule Force a couple of times, his origin ability and domain had been forcefully destroyed. Suffering heavy injuries, what was left behind is an empty shell, even if he survives, he's now a cripple. Thinking of this, Tian Gang left the scene.
Just that he had never considered that this brat, who barely managed to escape from his hands, is a character who defies Heaven. He would also never consider that a catastrophe would be sweeping through the world in the near future.

”Here... where is this?”
”Is this a dream?”
Total darkness, Su Hao couldn't feel his own body but he was aware of the existence of his consciousness. The scene before he fainted played in his mind. Su Hao's mood became unstable yet again as his raging emotions began to take over. It was at this moment when a white light appeared within this sea of darkness, and an old man's voice could be heard.
”You're awake?”
”Senior?” Su Hao recognized this voice.
That old man replied, ”Sorry for being late.”
”It's not your fault. I could only blame myself for being too weak!” Su Hao hatefully continued, ”If I had sufficient strength, this wouldn't have happened.”
The old man questioned, ”Then... what're you planning to do next?”
”Make a comeback!”
Su Hao's emotions began boiling again, ”One day, I will become a world esper and obliterate the entire Tian family!”
The old man retorted, ”So what if you become a world esper? There isn't only one world esper in the Tian family. Plus there is that old ancestor of the Tian family; he's a peak world esper. Furthermore, with your bad blood with the Tian family, you will have to face ambushes from your back too. Where can you go? Are you going to experience being hunted all over the place again?”
Su Hao turned silent.
Even if he's unwilling to admit it, he had to be frank that the current him isn't able to seek revenge nor have the qualification to do so! He's not someone who acts based on his temper, but it was precisely because of this that he understood the gap between him and the Tian family! Forget about a world esper, even a peak domain esper is able to easily kill him.
Just a mere manager of the Tian family already required every bit of their effort to fight...
A world esper?
He dared not dream of beating one!
This road isn't going to be a smooth journey. He didn't know how long it would take. He didn't know whether he could continue this road, but he knew that he can only take one step at a time to avenge everyone!
”Are you full of hatred? Do you hate that the world is being unfair to you?” The old man suddenly asked a strange question, ”Tian Zi is obviously not as good as you, but he gets to enjoy all the resources in the world. Everything has been prepared by the Tian family for him. As for you, you have nothing, plus you have to carry consequences from your father's deed. This causes your cultivation path to be extremely difficult.
”What I want I will get it myself!” Su Hao was as resolute as always.
The old man asked, ”Do you know what you lost to?”
”A world esper.”
Su Hao understood, ”I underestimated the strength of a world esper.”
”No, you're wrong.” The old man's voice suddenly turned cold, ”You lost to yourself!”
”What?” Su Hao felt at a loss.
”You're not ruthless enough!” The old man smirked, ”You're too soft-hearted. You caused your own men's deaths! Li Tiantian, Xiao Die, they all died because of you. Thanks to you not being ruthless enough!”
”Not ruthless enough?” Su Hao was speechless.
