Wang Hao was extremely confident about the Blade of Plunder.

Even if this person had thick skin, as tough as steel, it couldn't withstand the sharpness of the Blade of Plunder.

Unexpectedly, the guard raised his sword and easily deflected him.

Wang Hao fully utilized his speed advantage, launching a series of attacks around the guard.

However, even though this guard wielded a heavy sword, he could perfectly parry each time.

Within a meter around him, a tight, impervious defensive circle was formed.

Swordsmanship!

At this moment, Wang Hao realized the extraordinariness of this person.

He must know some powerful swordsmanship, otherwise, he couldn't achieve this level.

Furthermore, the huge sword in his hand seemed not to be an ordinary weapon.

It could withstand the ravaging of the Blade of Plunder.

Because of his robust physique and the comprehensive enhancement of spiritual power, he could barely suppress it.

If they were on equal footing in terms of strength, he would definitely be crushed.

Scuffle!

The best way now is to engage in close combat.

The guard uses a heavy sword, with wide and sweeping swordsmanship.

Once he pulls away, it becomes a bit troublesome.

The best method now is to stick close to him in a battle, wearing him out.

He is using a heavy sword, so his power consumption is definitely faster than mine.

Additionally, he has the advantage of spiritual power, so he's not intimidated!

Just compete with him in endurance, slowly wearing him down.

Just as Wang Hao seemed to have control over the situation, a new change occurred.

The guard started swinging his heavy sword, spinning around.

With such terrifying force, Wang Hao didn't dare to meet it head-on, and could only move to dodge.

The guard spun unknown how many times, then suddenly shouted lightly.

"White Tiger!"

He slashed a sword at Wang Hao, with the terrifying sword Qi forming into a tiger shape, roaring towards Wang Hao.

"Barrier!"

Wang Hao gathered his spiritual power, forming a barrier to fully defend.

His body was swiftly blown backward by the White Tiger.

After the guard launched this strike, his consumption was also visibly great; he used his sword to support himself on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Break for me!"

Sliding a certain distance, Wang Hao's spiritual power erupted from within him, and with one sword strike, he destroyed the White Tiger. Borrowing the inertia, he rotated and maneuvered in the air, landing and sliding a certain distance before barely stopping.

At this moment, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Strong!

This guard was indeed a bit too strong.

Fortunately, this area was open space!

If there had been some trees or rocks, he might have suffered some injuries.

"You're the leader of that group, right? Not bad!"

Wang Hao approached the guard, finally having time to clearly see this man.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, with a bare upper body, burly, muscular, like a bodybuilder's fitness coach.

His skin color was also that bronze tone.

Giving off a sense of solid strength.

"I just wanted to capture someone to inquire about the situation, is it necessary to fight to the death?"

Seeing the guard not speaking, Wang Hao looked at him a bit helplessly and continued to speak.

There was no doubt this man was a Superpower User.

Among Superpower Users, normal combat is okay, but if it's not necessary, try not to fight to the death.

Once it's a fight to the death, unless overwhelmingly stronger, there's no guarantee you won't stumble unexpectedly.

"Capture someone?"

The man slightly frowned: "Weren't you coming to attack the camp, to kill us all?"

"What?"

Wang Hao looked bewildered: "Who said I was going to kill you all?"

"A guy with bat superpowers."

The man struggled to get up, looking at Wang Hao with vigilance:

"He said you have three Superpower Users, brutal and ruthless, especially fond of hunting down Superpower Users, and not long ago, you wiped out his place, killing everyone.

If he couldn't fly, he too would have fallen victim to you all."

"What?"

Wang Hao was first taken aback, then a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

Impressive!

He had indeed underestimated Tang Rui.

Turns out he was prepared as well.

Knowing their destination was the Purple Gold Mountain, maybe he realized his ambush failed and then rushed here.

He could fly; getting here was easy for him.

This got him some backup, and possibly more than just this strong man.

"It's all a misunderstanding; I'm not a killer, and if I really wanted to destroy you all, I wouldn't have come alone."

Wang Hao put away the Blade of Plunder, expressing goodwill but did not explain much further:

"My name is Wang Hao!"

"I'm Liu Zhiquan."

The strong man twisted his neck and laughed heartily:

"Brother, you're genuinely impressive! Did you acquire a speed superpower? If not for my lifelong practice of family swordsmanship, I might have fallen today."

"Family swordsmanship?"

Wang Hao's eyes lit up, immediately perking up, as he sized Liu Zhiquan up, recalling previous scenes, and asked with some anticipation:

"Martial arts, does it really exist?"

"Hehe, it does and it doesn't."

Liu Zhiquan chuckled, mysteriously holding back a bit.

"I'd love to hear more!"

"Our martial arts emphasize both internal and external cultivation, with internal being the primary focus. Only with sufficient inner strength can external powers be exerted.

Creating some martial arts moves isn't out of reach either."

Saying this, Liu Zhiquan let out a long sigh:

"But cultivating internal power differs from external, needing enough aptitude. Such individuals, even in ancient times with abundant Spiritual Qi, were one in a hundred, with some high-level Inner Power Heart Method requiring one in ten thousand who can practice.

As times changed, people with aptitude became scarcer, and the Spiritual Qi of the world became thinner. Most inner power techniques got lost or submerged in history as no one could cultivate them.

What we practice now is all external, for strengthening the body, gradually getting called flowery, ornamental punches."

"This...."

Wang Hao's eyes shifted, feeling his worldview challenged.

"Then Lightning Five-Chain Whip, Thunder God Tai Chi Boxing....."

"Uh... I wouldn't comment on that."

Liu Zhiquan's mouth twitched, his expression slightly unnatural, and continued:

"I've been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, but I used wooden swords, fulfilling the old man's wish to pass something down, and also for my health.

After the apocalypse, I awakened my superpower, my strength greatly enhanced, my muscles bulged, which laid the foundation for me to wield the family heavy sword. Many moves I couldn't do before became easy, and effects I couldn't achieve, I could now."

Wang Hao blinked, realizing he initially thought Liu Zhiquan mastered some family Heart Method after the apocalypse began, with the revival of Spiritual Qi.

Turns out he relied on the power superpower as a hack.

Power superpower, combined with his heavy sword, along with family swordsmanship, was simply perfect!
