Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

The three men who made the move stared at Zhang Qilin as if he were already dead.

Just as the attack was about to hit Zhang Qilin, Zhang Hao suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

All three were startled. Only they knew how fast the River-Turning Hand's attack was, especially considering the close distance.

The time from launching the attack to the attack hitting Zhang Qilin was fleeting.

However, Zhang Hao was able to rush forward and block Zhang Qilin in such a short time, a speed that even the rest of them couldn't achieve.

Suddenly, the group frowned simultaneously: "No, such a strong body must not be destroyed!"

They understood how powerful the River-Turning Hand's attacks were; a single palm strike could kill a crocodile.

If three palms were to strike one person at the same time, the body would likely be torn to pieces instantly.

The River-Turning Hand technique had already been launched, and there was no way to take it back.

They couldn't catch up with Zhang Hao and push him away; their movement speed simply couldn't keep up with his attack speed.

The three could only watch helplessly as the "River-Turning Hand" struck Zhang Hao.

"No!"

The three shouted in unison.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The River-Turning Hand struck Zhang Hao with three loud bangs. The aftershocks from the attack sent sand and stones flying within a four- or five-meter radius around him, obscuring the view of what was happening inside.

"Xiao Hao!"

"Uncle!"

"Brother Zhang Hao!"

……

Uncle Wu, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Panzi were terrified and extremely worried when they saw the River-Turning Hand strike Zhang Hao.

Everyone knew Zhang Hao was very strong, but when facing these three people, no one was sure if Zhang Hao could defeat them.

After all, these three mysterious people who suddenly appeared gave off a very strong aura.

Even Zhang Hao couldn't send someone flying with a single palm strike in mid-air.

"Third Uncle, my younger brother is so strong, he should be alright, right?"

"If anything happens to Xiao Hao, I will risk my life to prevent those three from succeeding!"

Uncle Wu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared intently at Zhang Hao's location.

As the aftershocks of the attack subsided and the flying sand and stones dissipated, Zhang Hao's figure reappeared, his body bearing no wounds except for torn clothes.

The three people opposite were stunned and speechless as they stared at Zhang Hao's body.

However, no one knows better than themselves how powerful their attacks are.

Even hitting a steel plate would leave a large dent, yet Zhang Hao didn't have a single wound on his body.

In other words, Zhang Hao's body is harder than steel.

After regaining their senses, the three of them looked excited.

"I can't believe there's such a strong body in the world!"

"Such a perfect body has not appeared in a thousand years!"

"We've really struck gold this time!"

……

Uncle Wu and the others were overjoyed to see Zhang Hao.

"Xiaohao, are you okay?"

"Uncle, you're amazing!"

……

Zhang Hao smiled and glanced at the three middle-aged men opposite him.

"If you don't want to die, tell me honestly what happened!"

"Haha, someone actually dares to threaten us!"

"Don't think that just because we're after your body we won't kill you. I advise you to behave yourself."

Zhang Hao shook his head. Since the other party didn't want to talk, he didn't waste any words and charged forward with his fist raised.

The three people opposite him didn't even bother to dodge when Zhang Hao attacked; they just stood there calmly and motionless.

Zhang Hao grinned. These three old geezers must have lived for countless years, yet they still dared to be so arrogant and underestimate their opponents.

But this is good, it allows him to deal with these three people as quickly as possible, saving him trouble.

There was a loud bang when his fist hit the man on the far left in the head.

Zhang Hao felt as if his fist had hit a metal plate; a huge reaction force was immediately transmitted from his fist to his arm.

Only then did he understand why these people dared to be so arrogant; their physical defenses were almost on par with those of blood corpses.

He's practically no better than a Blood Corpse. Even a Blood Corpse couldn't withstand a punch from Zhang Hao, let alone this guy.

The next second, a "bang" sound rang out.

The middle-aged man on the far left had his head explode like a watermelon, with blood, flesh, and brain matter splattering everywhere, leaving behind a headless corpse lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Before the two remaining middle-aged men could react, Zhang Hao threw another punch with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

Another watermelon exploded, and another headless corpse lay on the ground.

Before the last remaining person could react, Zhang Hao's fist was already in his face.

"This is your last chance. Answer or die!"

"Ah……"

The middle-aged man sneered, rolled his eyes, and instantly lost all life, collapsing to the ground.

A phantom appeared out of thin air, transforming into a streak of black light that rushed towards Zhang Hao's brow and pierced through his forehead.

"Ok?"

Zhang Hao suddenly felt like his head was about to explode, as if something was trying to force its way in.

A ghostly figure, identical to the middle-aged man who had just died, appeared in his mind.

This illusory figure is the consciousness of the middle-aged man, who wants to devour Zhang Hao's consciousness and control his body.

This was the first time Zhang Hao had encountered such a situation, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Suddenly, an ancient divine beast, the Fire-Treading Qilin, appeared in his mind, confronting the phantom of the middle-aged man.

"What? It's actually bloodline transformation!"

The middle-aged man's phantom saw the Fire-Treading Qilin and cried out in alarm, trembling all over. The entire phantom became unstable, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a beast's roar echoed in my mind.

The middle-aged man's phantom shattered the moment the beast's roar rang out, vanishing without a trace before he could even utter a scream.

At the same time, a flood of memories that were not his own rushed into his mind.

It took Zhang Hao more than ten minutes to fully digest these memories.

The contents of the extra memories shocked Zhang Hao.

Just as he had guessed, the three middle-aged men who suddenly appeared were the group of people referred to as gods in the message left in the tomb raider's seal.

These kinds of people have existed for many years, though it's unclear when they first appeared, and they are found all over the world.

The person whose body is possessed by them will develop some special abilities, such as a body as hard as steel, the ability to breathe underwater, and heightened senses.

However, there are also side effects; the body may need to be replaced in as little as a few days or as long as thirty years.

They use this characteristic to secretly manipulate various forces to serve their purposes.

Although these forces sensed something amiss, as beneficiaries of the existing system, they were unwilling to make any changes and tacitly accepted everything.

After thousands of years of development, the forces they control have become enormous, covering all walks of life.

As for just how powerful they are, it can only be said that they are even stronger than the Zhang family at its peak.

At its peak, the Zhang family was capable of altering the course of history, but the forces controlled by these monsters who crave immortality are even stronger than the Zhang family, who could change the course of history.

Only then did Zhang Hao realize how powerful the enemy he would face in the near future truly was.

Fortunately, there's no need to worry for now; he still has plenty of time to develop.

By exploring more tombs and gaining more opportunities for fusion, one can become strong enough.

With sufficient strength, one need not fear even the most formidable enemy.
