Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1390 - 671_2

The surrounding damp and cold air encountered this domineering heat and instantly evaporated, emitting a subtle "sizzling" sound.

"Die for me!"

Xu Hao roared in his heart, advancing instead of retreating.

He stomped heavily with his right foot, crushing a piece of bluestone.

His right fist, imbued with scorching True Qi, struck directly and fiercely at the chest of the village guard charging at him.

"Hiss——"

Like a red-hot iron thrown into the snow.

Xu Hao’s fist easily burned through the guard’s black cotton jacket, and the violent True Qi, like a raging Fire Dragon, penetrated his body.

The seemingly indestructible shell of the guard emitted rapid cracking sounds like exploding beans after being hit.

A strong smell of burnt flesh quickly filled the air.

The village guard let out a shrill scream of agony.

His chest was charred with a black imprint, and his entire body was blasted far away, landing heavily in a distant mud pit, twitching a few times before falling silent.

A centipede as thick as a pinky, covered with a red-brown hard shell, crawled slowly out from the depths of his throat, then burrowed into the mud.

Xu Hao retracted his fist, gasping for air.

He looked at the corpse on the ground, his brows furrowed, unable to comprehend why this person appeared normal yesterday and had become this ghastly today.

At this moment, the dark red halo on his right arm gradually subsided, but the astonishing heat still lingered in his palm.

The "Great Sun Burning Body Technique" indeed had powerful combat effects, but the commotion also completely exposed his location.

"Who’s out there?!"

In the courtyard of the ancestral hall, Supervisor Wu’s voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately following, the sound of footsteps ran straight toward the gate.

Xu Hao’s heart tightened, realizing he couldn’t afford to delay any longer.

He immediately turned and dashed into the narrow alley nearby, using the cover of night to run swiftly.

His physical qualities already far surpassed normal people, his running speed extremely fast, leaping four or five meters with each stride.

However, after passing merely two intersections, he sensed something was amiss.

The fog outside the courtyard had somehow become dense.

Grayish-white fog seeped continuously from the ground and wall seams, like ever-expanding soft walls, quickly engulfing the streets behind him.

Visibility sharply declined, reducing from an initial ten meters to just two or three.

Finally, even the ground beneath his feet became blurred and indistinct.

Xu Hao tried hard to remember the patrol paths from the past two days, trying to find the main road leading to the village entrance.

Now that Jiang Chen’s clues have been found, it’s crucial to escape and pass the information to the boss as soon as possible.

With his vision blocked, he thought for a moment, then decided to reach out, feeling his way forward along the walls of the surrounding houses.

"Turn left, then walk fifty steps forward, there should be a dead tree..."

Xu Hao recited in his mind.

But when he counted to fifty steps, his palm touched a pile of moss-covered broken bricks and debris, with no dead tree in sight.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, chose a direction based on instinct, and continued walking, only to encounter impenetrable dark fog ahead.

The surroundings were eerily silent.

The thick fog seemed to isolate all sound.

He could only hear his heavy breathing and the sound of his shoes treading on the muddy ground.

After running for a full ten minutes, Xu Hao finally stopped.

He leaned on his knees, panting heavily.

Sweat dripped from his forehead like soybeans, rolling down his cheeks.

Xu Hao was lost.

The roads in the village covered by thick fog seemed to have come alive, constantly shifting positions.

Clearly it was a straight alley, but at the end, it turned into a dead wall.

Clearly it should be the way out, yet it led back to the abandoned ancestral hall.

He couldn’t find a way out of Ancient Locust Village, nor could he locate the shabby single dormitory.

Just as he straightened up, ready to continue exploring.

In the depths of the thick fog ahead, two points of eerie green light suddenly appeared.

Xu Hao’s heart trembled, instantly clenching his fists, his True Qi circulating once more.

Next to those two green lights, a second pair, a third pair... lit up.

They were eyes glowing with eerie green light, appearing especially sinister amidst the grayish-white fog.

Like ghost fires floating in mid-air, they slowly expanded outwards, eventually forming a surrounding circle.

Among the rolling fog, over ten village guards dressed in black cotton jackets walked out with stiff steps.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, even the strides were nearly identical.

Each of them wore a strange smile on their lips, their eyes hollow yet full of chilling malice.

They didn’t rush to attack but advanced cautiously, trapping Xu Hao in a narrow alley.

Xu Hao took half a step back, pressing his spine against the cold brick wall.

Looking at the approaching creatures and feeling the increasingly heavy chill around him, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

Having roamed the streets for over ten years, he knew that the more one feared when surrounded, the quicker one would die.

Fear lingered briefly in his heart for just a few seconds, before being completely dispelled by a surge of fury.

"Son of a bitch!"

Xu Hao spat fiercely onto the ground, his neck veins bulging.

Then he clenched his fists, forcefully smashing them together in front of his chest, producing a crisp cracking sound from his knuckles.

The stiffness in his muscles from tension completely eased at this moment, entering a pure combat state.

"Do they really think I’m a pushover? I fought my way from Jiangbei to Jiangdong with my bare fists, even wild dogs had to detour when they saw me! Today, I’ll use you bunch of freaks to practice my skills!"

At a point of no return, Xu Hao’s inherent insolence was completely forced out.

No matter what kind of monster they were, he dared to rush in and bite off a chunk of flesh.

Without further ado, Xu Hao took the initiative to attack.

He kicked the wall fiercely with his right foot, leveraging the rebound force to launch himself into the crowd like a furious leopard.

The True Qi within him surged at full speed without reservation.

The burning True Qi coursed through his limbs and bones, turning his fists, elbows, and knees into deadly weapons.

The foremost village guard extended both arms, trying to embrace him.

Xu Hao dodged to the side, ducking his head, bending his right arm for a vicious Muay Thai Elbow Strike that hit heavily on the opponent’s temple.

"Crack!"

Under the immense strength and heat damage, a large depression formed on that person’s skull.

The stench of burnt flesh rose, and the corpse crashed straight to the ground.

But the remaining creatures knew no fear.

The fall of their comrade only provoked them, as three or four village guards charged forward collectively.

Xu Hao sidestepped a claw aiming for his throat, his left hand swiftly seizing the opponent’s wrist and bending it down forcefully, while his right knee suddenly lifted.

A fiercely violent Top Knee strike slammed against the chest bone of the one in front.

Amidst the dull cracking of the chest bone, scorching True Qi engulfed the organs, turning them into a mass of charcoal.

However, there were too many of them.

Just as Xu Hao kicked one away, searing pain shot through his back.

Shla—

A village guard had sneaked behind him at an unknown time, tearing open his coat with sharp nails, and left five deep gashes visible to the bone on his back.

"Get off!"

Xu Hao cried out in pain, his ferocity unleashed.

He simply abandoned defense, employing a reckless fighting style.

He spun around abruptly, letting another creature’s teeth sink into his left arm.

His right hand transformed into a Hand Blade, glowing with searing red light, striking fiercely at the carotid artery of the person behind.

It sliced through half of the neck, charred flesh flipping and rolling instantly.

The battle turned exceedingly brutal.

Using his expertise in street fighting and domineering True Qi protection, Xu Hao tore open a bloody path in the encirclement.

Every punch, every kick was accompanied by the crisp sounds of bones breaking.

Yet, these monsters knew no fatigue nor fear of pain.

Even with broken legs, they crawled on the ground, attempting to bite Xu Hao’s calf with their teeth.

Time ticked away.

The Great Sun Burning Body Technique, although formidable, drained Spirit and stamina.

Xu Hao’s breathing turned heavy, like bellows, and visibly slowed down.

The scorching blood in his Dantian began to dry up, and the dusky red glimmer on his fists flickered as it was about to extinguish.

Panting heavily, he kicked over an approaching village guard, his body staggering back two steps, leaning against a mud wall to keep from falling.

His jacket had become tattered rags, covered in scratches and bites, blood trailing down his arm onto the muddy ground.

True Qi was running low, lifting his arms felt like bearing a weight of a thousand pounds.

The fog continued to swirl around, while the remaining seven or eight village guards slowly closed in again.

Just as Xu Hao gritted his teeth, preparing to squeeze out the last bit of True Qi for a last stand.

The dense fog behind him suddenly rolled to the sides, mysteriously opening a path.
