Urban God-level Youth

After a few cups of wine, the faces of several people at the table were slightly flushed. This was top-grade spiritual wine, which accelerated the speed of cultivation technique circulation and aided in the absorption of spiritual energy.

Nangong Yuya looked at Qin Hao and smiled faintly, "Mr. Qin, I wonder where you learned from? I'm sure they are all curious about what kind of person can teach someone with talent like yours."

Qin Hao chuckled dryly, "Princess Yuya, you're too kind. I just figured out cultivation on my own, I don't have a master."

The expressions of the people at the table froze for a moment. Being able to cultivate to this level by oneself suggested that Qin Hao must have had some great opportunity.

The banquet lasted until after half past ten at night.

Du Qinghao personally escorted Qin Hao, Nangong Yuya, Zhou Liuxing, and others out, "Gentlemen, take care."

Nangong Yuya, Zhou Liuxing, and Zhou Wanqing boarded a luxurious vehicle, as the acts of traveling by a dynasty's princes and princesses were always grand.

Figures like Master Hui Zhen and Mao Yunlong arrived in beast-driven war chariots. Though not as luxurious, they exuded a killing aura, hinting at tremendous power.

"Brother Du, Brother Qin, farewell," several people said their goodbyes.

After those people left, Qin Hao said to Du Qinghao, "Brother Du, farewell."

"Brother Qin, Miss Ye, take care," Du Qinghao smiled.

Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi walked together towards the direction of the tavern, Fengyue Building was quite far from their residence.

Upon arrival, Qin Hao had already spent more than half an hour walking.

On the way back, Ye Lingyi looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Du also mentioned that the selection for this year's Heaven and Earth Academy is different from previous years. Are the competition rules really changed?"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Probably, I just don't know how they've changed."

Ye Lingyi was a bit worried, if there was an extra round, then there would be an additional risk.

As they walked more than half of the way, just as they turned into a street, Qin Hao halted, because a dozen black-clad figures were besieging Nangong Yuya.

Although the fight on both sides was dazzling with beams of light radiating everywhere, no sound was transmitted, because there was a huge barrier around that not only dampened sound but also blocked divine sense transmission.

Ye Lingyi was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that Princess Yuya? Didn't she already leave in her vehicle?"

Qin Hao said, "Looks like she was intercepted and attacked halfway."

The battle ahead was intense, although Nangong Yuya was powerful and combative, those dozen black-clad men were each at the Heavenly Human Realm Peak. Moreover, they were well-trained, specializing in assassination and combined attack skill.

Forming three groups of four, they performed a combined attack formation that could unleash stronger offensive power, comparable to half-step Peak Realm experts.

It seemed they had been fighting for quite a while, and Nangong Yuya already had wounds on her body. If this continued, feared she would perish in bloom.

Who exactly were these people that they dared to assassinate a dynasty princess? Qin Hao's mind raced with thoughts.

By now, the street was deserted, as it was already late at night.

The appearance of Qin Hao was surprising to the attacking black-clad figures, but upon seeing the power of Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi, they breathed a sigh of relief, as stable-stage Grandmasters weren't likely to break the barrier.

This barrier required Heavenly Human Realm Peak strength to break it.

Nangong Yuya's combat power reached, but she simply didn't have time to breach the barrier, even if given the chance, it wasn't something that could be broken easily.

"Mr. Qin, what should we do?" Ye Lingyi turned to ask.

Qin Hao hesitated for a moment then said, "Stay back, I'll go help her."

Ye Lingyi nodded slightly as she stepped back a distance.

Qin Hao gathered more than ten lightning swords before him and directly stabbed at the barrier shield.

"Bang bang bang"

"Boom boom boom"

Lights blossomed, dazzlingly bright, causing the entire barrier shield to shake.

The faces of the dozen black-clad men inside changed slightly, shocked by Qin Hao's attack. How could a late-stage Grandmaster Realm's attack power be so strong?

Nangong Yuya felt a surge of joy upon seeing Qin Hao.

Meanwhile, a team broke away and charged towards Qin Hao. They couldn't leave him attacking the barrier unchecked, as the powerful energy fluctuations would attract more people, foiling their assassination attempt.

"Kill"

The four experts at the Late Stage of Heavenly Human Realm Peak rushed forth, exuding a terrifying aura.

In these black-clad eyes, the task of killing Qin Hao, a late-stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator, was like child's play.

Qin Hao ceased breaking the barrier, focusing his might on engaging the four Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts.

"Bang bang bang"

"Boom boom boom"

They exchanged intense blows, sword lights, palm seals, and fist seals crashed together, releasing dazzling rays and a powerful aura rippling out from there.

The expressions of the four black-clad figures fighting Qin Hao changed slightly. Initially, they thought they could defeat Qin Hao quickly, yet his combat prowess was absurdly potent, locked in a stalemate with them.

The intense energy fluctuation from their clash was noticeable afar, soon attracting attention.

Nangong Yuya, there, had improved a bit with one less group to contend with, for now, it seemed unlikely anything would go wrong.

Ye Lingyi stood at a distance, watching Qin Hao single-handedly battling four Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts, utterly shocked, he was so strong, extremely strong!!

Qin Hao wielded the Heavenly Gang Palm Seal with his left and the Earth Evil Fist Seal with his right, his body ablaze with light and spiritual energy, fiercely colliding with the four.

After dozens of exchanges, Qin Hao parted ways with them, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He had sustained light injuries internally but it was no major issue.

"Again."

Qin Hao shouted, his aura escalating, appearing more formidable than before, he rushed up to engage the four again.

"Kill"

The four black-clad figures' eyes were sharp, killing intent evident, each exerting their full power.

Now, people were already coming from afar, in growing numbers, for their clash with Qin Hao emitted extremely strong energy waves.

Within two to three minutes, hundreds of cultivators had gathered around, and more were streaming in.

These people were astounded upon arriving and witnessing the scene inside.

"A late-stage Grandmaster battling four Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts? Is this an act??"

"That young woman inside too is terrifying, battling eight Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts solo, what kind of monsters are these?"

"Isn't that the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty's Princess Nangong Yuya?" Someone recognized Nangong Yuya, as her fame was immense, surpassing Qin Hao's.

The place buzzed instantly, "Is that the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty's Princess Yuya? Who sent these black-clad figures? They dare to assassinate the dynasty's princess."
