"Boom!"
The earth trembled as a vast and terrifying aura erupted from Qin Hao's body. His eyes shimmered with dazzling light, as if a blazing sun was about to burst out of them.
With a single finger pointed into the void, an overwhelming force of extreme vigor and yang energy burst forth, like a rainbow piercing through the sun.
Boom!
Ah!
Another Nascent Soul realm black-clothed man was hit. The fierce Heavenly Sun True Fire burned fiercely on him, and before he could even let out a scream, his body, along with his soul, turned to ashes.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Hao killed two Nascent Soul realm powerhouses.
At this moment, Qin Hao's expression was indifferent as he stood under the blazing sun, exuding a pressure that dominated heaven and earth.
"Damn it, he was prepared!"
The leader of the black-clothed men's eyes narrowed, shocked to the core.
They had been full of confidence and momentum, but never did they imagine that an ant-like cultivator at the Essence Integration realm could summon the power of heaven and earth to annihilate them.
Feeling the terrifying energy continuously emanating from the six suns in the sky, he regretted a bit.
"Retreat!"
Realizing the situation was untenable, the leader of the black-clothed men made a decisive decision to retreat.
"Trying to leave after coming?"
A cold voice echoed, sounding like a thousand thunderclaps exploding in their souls.
Qin Hao leaped into the air, momentarily traversing the void. The six suns above him revolved around him, emitting brilliant divine light, enveloping the heavens and earth.
For a moment, the heavens and earth became a furnace, and even Nascent Soul realm powerhouses found it difficult to circulate their true energy under the terrifying heat.
"The Three Elements Blade Formation?"
This was the most proficient joint attack formation of the Great Qin Army. Each strike exerted the utmost killing power, capable of enveloping the heavens with suns, moons, and stars, destroying everything.
In a life-threatening situation, the three men would surely unleash their full power, posing a threat to even Celestial realm experts.
"Be careful, Young Lord!" Sir Kong Sheng and others exclaimed in unison.
However, Qin Hao, floating in mid-air, faced the onslaught of the blade formation without any panic, a cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
"The essence of the Three Elements Blade Formation lies in its speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. You haven't even grasped the basics, yet you dare to display it?"
With a flick of his hand, he shouted, "Break!"
The sound of his voice echoed like a thousand thunders bursting forth.
The six suns in the sky converged, emitting brilliant divine light and bursting forth with mighty Heavenly Sun True Fire, rapidly spinning in the sky.
Puff puff puff...
In an instant, the six suns transformed into a massive disc, distorting the surrounding void.
The blade formation executed by the three men was instantly crushed, and their bodies, along with their souls, turned to ashes under the terrifying Heavenly Sun True Fire.
"The power of heaven and earth is so domineering!"
Everyone was shocked.
In that instant, the mighty power of heaven and earth wreaked havoc, with the power to destroy the heavens and earth, shaking them to their core.
Now, they finally realized why there was such a huge gap between the Nascent Soul realm and the Celestial realm.
It was like a chasm that couldn't be crossed.
"Next, it's your turn!"
In an instant, Qin Hao's gaze shifted, shining like the sun and moon, seemingly penetrating the void.
The remaining leader of the black-clothed men felt as if he were targeted by a grim reaper, with the shadow of death looming over him, making his scalp numb.
"Oh no!"
Seeing the six brilliant rainbow lights of the Heavenly Sun True Fire converging towards him, the leader of the black-clothed men turned pale with fright.
However, he was entangled by the Grand Elder and couldn't evade. He barely managed to activate a defensive talisman, but it was directly incinerated by the fierce Heavenly Sun True Fire.
Boom!
The six rainbow lights intertwined and exploded, causing the surrounding void to collapse.
The leader of the black-clothed men was sent flying, his clothes turned to ashes, revealing his true appearance.
The domineering power of heaven and earth was something that even Nascent Soul realm powerhouses couldn't resist, let alone those at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
Moreover, if Qin Hao hadn't deliberately spared him and weakened the power of his attack, he would have died long ago.
"It's you!"
Almost at the same time, everyone recognized him.
The leader of the black-clothed men was none other than Lin Yong, who had greeted them in front of the city gate earlier.
"Weren't they remnants of the Beast-taming Sect? How could this happen?"
"The powerful cultivators of the Great Qin Empire dared to assassinate their Ninth Prince. Aren't they afraid of implicating their entire clan?"
Sir Kong Sheng and others were extremely angry.
Lin Yong, on the other hand, was dumbfounded, especially when he heard the words 'implicate their entire clan', his expression became even more terrified.
He finally understood why the imperial envoy didn't take action himself, because if he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In great anger and fear, Lin Yong took out a blood-red pill, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he let out a final roar, "Qin Hao, you're doomed. No one can save you. I'll wait for you in hell!"
The next moment, a bizarre scene occurred.
A crimson light emanated from Lin Yong's body, carrying a powerful corrosive force. After a moment, he turned into a pool of pus and blood.
"Hiss..."
"I know, that's the Blood Transformation Pill!" Chubby Ye Xiao gasped in shock, his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "My mother told me that you can eat anything in this world, except for this thing!"
"The Blood Transformation Pill, it's a tool for destroying evidence."
The Grand Elder turned his gaze towards Qin Hao with a profound look, saying, "Young Lord, those who want to harm you probably have extraordinary backgrounds!"
In fact, even without the Grand Elder's words, Qin Hao had guessed roughly.
But what could he do?
Lin Yong and the others were dead, and all evidence had been destroyed.
Even if there was evidence, what could they do?
Report to the emperor, who didn't value him, or to the empress, who held supreme power?
It was meaningless.
That wasn't Qin Hao's style either.
He would cultivate diligently, strengthen himself, and then suppress them with a punch!
So, in the face of everyone's astonished and worried gazes, Qin Hao's expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
...
"You bunch of useless people!"
In the sky above the Fallen Eagle Gorge, amidst the sharp gusts of wind, a woman dressed in crimson robes, with a golden plaque hanging from her waist, hovered in the air. Her sinister gaze pierced through the layers of emptiness, her expression chilling.
Along with her presence, the surrounding vast expanse of emptiness seemed to plunge into a cold winter. The fierce winds ceased to howl, as if the void itself had been frozen.
From the aura emanating from her, it was evident that she was at least a peak Celestial realm powerhouse.
"I should have known these useless people couldn't be relied upon."
"But the fact that this Ninth Prince could rely on formations to stir the power of heaven and earth indicates that he has obtained an extremely powerful inheritance. He must not be allowed to live!"
After her anger subsided, she also felt the immense threat from Qin Hao, deciding not to hide her identity any longer and to take action personally.
However, before she could make a move, a black-clothed youth appeared before her as if floating on air.
The black-clothed youth arrived without a sound, seemingly merging with the surrounding natural elements. Only the icy killing intent pervaded the air, sending shivers down her spine.
The woman's body trembled for a moment as she raised her head and suddenly realized that the black-clothed youth bore a crimson scar on his face, causing her soul to tremble with fear.
"You, you... you're Qin Thirteen!"
"Weren't you supposed to have died protecting the Holy Emperor in the Purple Heaven Sacred Ground?"
In a moment, the woman seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, her expression filled with horror as she trembled and said, "I understand now, it was all arranged by the Holy Emperor..."
Before the woman could finish her words, her voice was interrupted by a cold voice.
"You know too much."
The voice, chilling to the extreme, seemed to come from the mouth of death itself, carrying a mysterious aura of death.
In the instant the voice fell, Qin Thirteen drew his sword, struck, and sheathed it, all in one fluid motion, happening in the blink of an eye.
A black and obscure sword aura swept across like a beam of light, and for that moment, the world seemed to freeze in stillness.
The woman's face was filled with fear, frozen in the motion of reaching for her golden plaque.
Moments later, her head fell to the ground, lifeless.
The speed of Qin Thirteen's action was not even human-like. Before a peak Celestial realm powerhouse like her could even react, she had already lost the opportunity to make a move.
After dealing with the woman's corpse, Qin Thirteen glanced at Qin Hao and the others below, then his figure disappeared into the natural elements once again.
Moments later, the fierce wind continued to blow, dispersing the bloodstains in the void, as if nothing had happened.
Everything had occurred in utter silence.
...
Inside the Fallen Eagle Gorge, Sir Kong Sheng and others began to clean up the battlefield, looting the treasures left behind by Lin Yong and the others.
"Young Lord is truly formidable. It's as if he has foresight, teaching us about formations in advance, which proved to be crucial."
"Yes, if it weren't for the power of the formations in this battle, we might have faced certain death."
"Speaking of which, who exactly wanted to harm the Young Lord? To mobilize six Nascent Soul realm experts at once?"
...
Such a lineup was already equivalent to the high-level combat power of the entire Xuantian Sect.
"Six Nascent Soul realm experts?"
Qin Hao looked up at the sky, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through the narrow opening in the sky and directly reach the heavens: "Perhaps, there are even more than that."
Just now, he vaguely sensed a terrifying killing intent flashing across the sky.
Recalling Lin Yong's furious roar before his death, Qin Hao felt that the powerhouses behind Lin Yong and the others must have taken action as well, but he didn't know why they hadn't shown themselves.
