Chapter 303 - Fusing the Nine Solitary Swords
“System, initiate fusion!”
At Jiang Hao's command, a torrent of information surged into his mind.
Jiang Hao quickly assimilated the data, seamlessly integrating it until it was completely his own.
With the integration of the Nine Swords of Dugu, the chaotic energy within Jiang Hao grew even stronger, filling him with elation.
He was itching to test his new skills!
But the sword in his grasp had been dismantled by the system, reduced to a mere shell.
Besides, the area was crowded: hardly the place for a sword trial.
He glanced at the hollow remains of the sword.
“I need to get a new one, or Wan'er will be heartbroken!”
Turning to Soong Wan at his side, Jiang Hao said,
“Wan'er, you must be tired. Stay here for a bit.
I'll head over to that snack street we passed earlier and grab some treats for you. I'll be right back!”
Soong Wan, clearly weary, responded with a hint of concern,
“Just make it quick, okay?”
Jiang Hao nodded in agreement and set off.
He returned to the art shop, selecting a sword identical to the one Soong Wan had gifted him, and completed the purchase.
Then he dashed to the snack street, his mind set on the task.
Confronted with the overwhelming selection of snacks, Jiang Hao was momentarily stumped.
“Oh no! I forgot to ask Wan'er what she wanted!”
He decided, “I'll just pick up a variety of things.”
After buying the snacks, Jiang Hao, worried that Soong Wan might be anxious, hurried back.
But as he approached the shop, he noticed a crowd gathered in the distance, peering at the shop and shaking their heads in dismay.
”There goes that rich brat again. That poor girl's in for trouble now!”
“Such a shame for that lovely girl!”
“His dad's the only one who can rein him in. Rumor has it he's already ruined several girls…”
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Jiang Hao's heart sank with foreboding.
He pushed his way through the throng and his fears were confirmed: several thugs were harassing Soong Wan!
“Babe, why don't you be my girl?”
“Come on, Uncle Zhao's inviting you to a feast!”
“Back off! I've got a boyfriend!”
“Haha…”
“Where's your boyfriend? Let me have a look—is he that loser?”
The ringleader, a smug look on his pale face, reached out to drape his arm over Soong Wan's shoulder!
Jiang Hao witnessed this and was instantly seething with anger!
In one hand, he held a snack and a sword, and suddenly, a streak of black appeared in his other hand!
Before anyone could get a clear look, a flash of cold light zipped by!
Then, a terrible scream pierced the air.
“Ah~!”
“My hand! My hand!”
Everyone was startled, their gazes darting around in alarm.
In that instant, Jiang Hao stepped forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was already confronting the lowlifes.
His sword spun rapidly in his hand, leaving everyone's vision a blur before a chorus of agonized screams filled the air.
“Argh! Argh!”
By the time the onlookers snapped out of their stupor, Jiang Hao was standing several meters away, Soong Wan safely in his arms.
The scoundrels were sprawled out on the ground, their screams unceasing.
In that moment, the crowd's eyes shifted from Jiang Hao and Soong Wan to the rich playboy who had been harassing her, and a wave of bewilderment washed over them.
“Is this some kind of movie shoot?”
Jiang Hao's ferocious display had certainly left an impression.
Coupled with everyone's traditional attire, the scene truly resembled a classic tale of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
Seeing Jiang Hao come to her rescue, Soong Wan was immediately filled with a sense of relief.
