Zhao Yao started rolling around with laughter when he saw butler Xia struggling to make his way back. He turned around and saw the van intact, and stopped by the side of the road.

Golden-Haired, Four-Eyed and Ah Tao were just lying inside the van. Baiquan and the cats which were in the vehicle were also unscathed.

What butler Xiao and the three other apostles had seen were just images conjured by Zhao Yao"s perfect illusion.

Butler Xiao thought he had witnessed what Zhao Yao was capable of and was scurrying back to report everything to Ho Hao Cang.

Zhao Yao stretched his finger inside Dust Ball"s mouth and started fis.h.i.+ng for something. He said, "I remember putting a Manila hemp inside here."

Dust Ball was gagging from Zhao Yao"s finger. She could not even say a word during the process.

"Wait a moment, I"m going to find it soon," Zhao Yao concentrated on locating the rope from Dust Ball"s belly. He planned to tie the remaining three apostles up and restrained them.

After restraining the three apostles, Zhao Yao quickly followed behind butler Xiao as he made his way towards the mansion.

Inside the mansion, Hao Cang was sitting in the middle of the grand hall. Today"s mission was kept a secret. Other than his five supercats, there was no one else left inside the building.

Currently, all 5 of his supercats, including Ares and Lucifer, were either lying in Hao Cang"s arms, resting beside his feet or just lazing on the sofa.

Hao Cang was shocked to see butler Xiao stumbling back to the mansion.

Ho Hao Cang raised his eyebrow and asked, "Butler Xia, what happened? Where is the cat?"

Based on butler Xia"s report back at the café, they had managed to capture Zhao Yao"s subordinate and the cats even though Zhao Yao himself was not there. However, all Hao Cang saw was a distressed butler Xia.

Butler Xia raised his head, but his face was still quivering with fear. He mumbled, "Zhao Yao is here. He has slaughtered Golden-Haired, Four-Eyed, and Ah Tao. Master! We have to run now! Even you are no match for him!"

Hao Cang"s brows drew together, and he asked, "Butler Xia, do not panic. Calm down. Recall the incident just now and tell me what his ability is?"

"There is no time!" A vein popped on butler Xiao"s forehead, and cold sweat erupted on his face. He shouted, "Zhao Yao will be here anytime. Master, we have to leave now! If not, it will be too late!"

Ho Hao Cang did not believe a word butler Xiao uttered. Furthermore, he had absolute confidence in his abilities and powers.

Suddenly, a line appeared between Hao Cang"s brows, and he said coolly, "He is already here."

"What?" Butler Xia immediately turned his head back, but he could not see anyone standing at the door.

"Can"t you see him? He"s standing right on our doorstep." Hao Cang was puzzled by butler Xia"s confused look. Butler Xia was not lying when he said he could not see Zhao Yao.

Butler Xia repeated, "I cannot see him!"

"This should be his power." Ho Hao Cang gazed at Zhao Yao before he whispered, "Is it some sort of illusion?"

Zhao Yao chewed on his lower lip, and he thought, "So this guy is really Ho Hao Cang." Zhao Yao had met him previously at the café. However, he did not know his real ident.i.ty then.

"Zhao Yao, he"s not affected by my illusion," Elizabeth whispered into Zhao Yao"s ears. She continued, "It was like the previous time in the cafe where he was immune to the effects of Celestial Beats. Illusion too could not affect him." A red glimmer flashed across Elizabeth"s eyes, and she concluded, "I also cannot control his body."

Hao Cang chortled and asked, "Are you trying to use your power against me?" Hao Cang remained seated in his chair with the smirk on his face. He had no intention to get on his feet. However, his five cats had started gathering around him.

"It"s useless," Hao Cang roared as he caressed the cat in his arms, "Zhao Yao, my power is invincible. I admit that you are pretty strong given the fact that you defeated butler Xiao.

I"m giving you a last chance because I see you as a talent. Give up earthquake cat and join my side." Suddenly, the smirk vanished from his face, and he stared daggers at Zhao Yao"s eyes and said, "Or you die!"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and an invisible force erupted in the air. It was as if an invisible wall had come cras.h.i.+ng into Zhao Yao.

This attack would have crushed an ordinary person. However, Zhao Yao"s reaction, observation and speed far exceeded that of an average person with "Two is better than one". He immediately grabbed Elizabeth and Matcha and took a step behind the door.

"Oh?" Hao Cang seemed pretty surprised by Zhao Yao"s movement, but he remained in his seat. He commented, "Your reaction is quite fast."

Zhao Yao placed Elizabeth and Matcha on the floor and instructed, "Wait for me outside. This guy is quite strong."

Both Matcha and Elizabeth knew that Zhao Yao was not kidding. They looked into his eyes before retreating. They did not leave but merely waited outside in case anything happened.

Spirit cat was also there. He had stalked Elizabeth all the way and let out a long sigh of despair when he sensed the impending battle between Zhao Yao and Hao Cang.

"All my efforts have gone down the drain. But I don"t think anything would happen to Elizabeth."

"I applaud you for your response," Hao Cang commented when he saw Zhao Yao getting the cats out of harm"s way. He nodded his head and said, "I guess I won"t have to worry about hurting your cat."

Butler Xia was bewildered by the scene as he could only see Hao Cang speaking to the air and did not know what had happened. He was still under Elizabeth"s illusion.

Hearing Hao Cang"s provocative words, Zhao Yao just smiled and replied, "You are strong and stubborn, I guess I can only do one thing to you. Destroy you!"

Bam! At the moment when the last word rang in Hao Cang"s ears, Zhao Yao had already disappeared from his sight. With Hao Cang"s body as the epicenter, a barrage of explosion erupted in the air. It sounded as if a few bombs had simultaneously detonated at Hao Cang"s position.

Suddenly, Zhao Yao appeared 5 meters in front of him. With a swirl, he vanished into thin air again.

Inside his extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao scratched his chin and thought, "This is bad, this guy has a layer of protective sh.e.l.l around him. My barrage of attacks during the time previous did not affect him."

During the previous time freeze, Zhao Yao commenced his a.s.sault on Hao Cong from all angles. However, his body was wrapped in a protective layer, and it extended to his five cats. He could not penetrate the layer no matter how hard he hit."

"I"ll have to wait for my 6 seconds of cooldown before I commenced my next wave of attack."

Hao Cang was lost when he saw Zhao Yao disappearing into thin air again.
