The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1558 - 1561: Must There Be Death?

"Hmph! Do you really think that with this ragtag bunch, you can defeat us? I'm telling you, tonight, you must retrieve the Sacrificial Gold Altar, otherwise, don't think about leaving this place!"

Doherty spoke with extreme arrogance, his attitude was ridiculously conceited, ignoring Xu Hao and the people he brought along.

Xu Hao chuckled lightly, then looked at the other powerful beings and said, "What about you? Tonight, some people will inevitably die. Based on my calculations, at least forty Grandmaster Level individuals must die. So, which faction should face the losses? Who should die? Do you have any thoughts?"

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Constantine immediately said, "Why must people die? I have some guesses. How about we transport a large amount of blood from the hospital?"

Xu Hao instantly approved, saying, "No wonder you're one of the Eight Great Judges of the Temple of Light, you certainly think things through better than this fool Doherty!"

Doherty snorted coldly upon hearing Xu Hao's words but didn't retort, as he hadn't thought of that much. Moreover, he was curious about what Constantine would propose.

Xu Hao continued, "What you mentioned is actually what I thought, but to activate the formation sealing the Sacrificial Gold Altar in this Great Array, a blood sacrifice is necessary. Would a large volume of blood substitute for a blood sacrifice? I also thought about it earlier, but time is not on our side now. We must start before one o'clock in the morning, or we will have to wait until next year. But are you willing to wait? Therefore, people must die!"

Constantine gave a deep look at Xu Hao and said, "If you're really determined to do this, then we, at the Temple of Light, are willing to assist you."

His words were clear – he intended to side with Xu Hao.

Xu Hao glanced at him and said, "Constantine, you are smart, your choice will result in fewer casualties for the Temple of Light."

At this moment, Xiao Ling suddenly said, "Brother Yu, I actually understand your idea now. Can we all just let our own blood? If we all let some blood, you can collect it and use it, wouldn't that prevent deaths?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "You make a good point, but would everyone willingly give me their blood? Especially those of the Blood Clan, would they let their blood? And even if they did, how much could we all shed?

Even though we're all powerful individuals, each of us could only shed a liter or two at most, any more and it would be life-threatening. How could that compare to the amount of blood in one entire body? Moreover, originally this Great Array requires the complete blood of thirty-six people! So, this idea is completely impractical!"

Xu Hao directly dismissed Xiao Ling's suggestion, then looked at everyone and said, "Now, we must begin the battle! Unfortunately, this is a baseless battle, a meaningless battle, but enough people must die. Kill!"

Xu Hao waved his hand, and immediately the people behind him charged towards their enemies and began to fight fiercely.

Xu Hao and the Moon Goddess Successor also rushed into the fight, Evelyn following closely behind.

However, Xu Hao first brought Xiao Ling to his side and said to her, "Considering our acquaintance, tonight I will protect you thoroughly. Yonglan, be careful yourself."

Shu Yonglan nodded slightly and retreated.

Everyone knew this was a meaningless battle, so many were thinking of ways to avoid fighting, retreating to stay safe.

But once a melee breaks out, no one can completely avoid it.

Even if he does not want to fight, he will be swept into the vortex of battle.

That is not something anyone can choose!

At first, many people charged at Xu Hao, the instigator, angry beyond measure, attacking him furiously.

After all, if it weren't for Xu Hao, those who should have died would already be dead. They wouldn't have to face the current life-threatening situation.

But Xu Hao had shattered all of that!

Naturally, they held extreme resentment towards Xu Hao!

But they forgot that they were just a bit luckier this time; otherwise, it would be them entering the Great Array.

Many merely held a mindset of "better him than me" to get by.

But Xu Hao's presence slowly became marginalized.

He was working hard to minimize his influence, letting more and more people forget about him as the initiator.

Xiao Ling followed beside Xu Hao, watching how each of Xu Hao's palms perfectly knocked people aside without killing them, she quietly asked, "Brother Yu, your heart is too kind huh? You could obviously kill them, but you spared their lives."

Xu Hao immediately laughed and said, "Xiao Ling, do you really think I am kind-hearted?"
