Chapter 1015: Terrifying Combat Power
"Boom"
A powerful aura suddenly erupted on the street.
This burst forth from Qin Hao, who displayed the "Palm Settles the Universe" from the Heavenly Gang Palm Skill and the "Massacre of the Ages" from the Earth Evil Fist.
Both sides violently clashed, brilliance dazzling, spiritual energy rampant, and a formidable aura erupted outward.
The four black-clad figures retreated violently, spitting blood from their mouths.
Qin Hao's moves were too powerful, with a true explosive force comparable to the Half-step Peak Realm.
In this fierce clash, Qin Hao also suffered a strong counterforce, retreating violently, blood continually seeping from the corner of his mouth, neither side gaining any advantage.
But it should be noted that Qin Hao was only in the Late Stage Grandmaster Realm, and single-handedly facing four top Heavenly Human Realm experts was already terrifying enough. Now, achieving a draw left the surrounding crowd with gaping mouths, incredulous.
"Again."
Qin Hao's body radiated dazzling light, with his aura still rising, causing the four black-clad figures to change expressions slightly.
This person actually fought more valiantly and grew stronger, which was incredibly terrifying.
Damn, are you really a Late Stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator?
Qin Hao stood towering in the void, forming a hand seal, radiating dazzling light, his aura terrifying, giving the onlookers a sense of suffocation.
It was a feeling that only arose when facing an unbeatable opponent.
This was a form from the Heavenly Gang Palm Seal, even more powerful than the "Palm Settles the Universe."
The spiritual energy within him frantically gathered in his palm, and the surrounding spiritual energy also surged madly toward his palm.
"Palm Shatters the Heavens"
Qin Hao's expression was cold, his black hair fluttering as he shouted word by word.
"Boom"
The void trembled, the earth quaked, the bright moon lost its color, and the stars twinkled and dimmed.
The onlookers felt the power of this shattering heavens, their faces changed drastically, stepping back repeatedly; this aura was too terrifying and too powerful.
The Heavenly Gang Palm Seal flew out, directly striking at the four black-clad figures.
The four black-clad figures activated all their spiritual energy, displaying their strongest Divine Skills, each wielding a sword, with four dazzling sword beams merging to form an even more powerful sword beam.
"Boom"
The palm seal and the sword beam collided, instantly bursting forth dazzling light, like a small sun exploding, illuminating half of Tiandi City.
The shops below would have been reduced to ruins without the protection of formations.
The four black-clad figures flew backward like kites with cut strings, spitting blood, while Qin Hao also spat a mouthful of blood, but his entire being looked more vigorous.
"Slash"
With a wave of Qin Hao's hand, a lightning sword suddenly appeared in front of one of the black-clad figures.
The lightning sword descended, severing the body, with blood spraying.
After the black-clad figure was killed, Qin Hao had already rushed up, using one hand for a palm seal and the other for a fist seal, explosively destroying the other three.
The entire scene fell into a dead silence, with only the sound of a pin dropping.
A Late Stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator slaughtering four top Heavenly Human Realm experts, this was something one wouldn't believe without seeing it with their own eyes.
At this moment, a group of people flew in from afar.
"How bold, daring to assassinate a royal princess in Tiandi City." A middle-aged man appeared, waving his large hand, causing countless streams of light to shoot out, turning another eight black-clad figures into ashes instantly.
This level of skill left everyone present in shock. Who was this person? So powerful!
With a wave of his hand, nearly ten top Heavenly Human Realm experts were exterminated. What kind of strength was this?
Someone spoke up: "This is Du Zhixuan, the City Lord of Tiandi City, and the law enforcement elder of the Heaven and Earth Academy."
"No wonder he's so formidable, it turns out he is Mr. Du."
Du Zhixuan glanced at Qin Hao, then landed beside Nangong Yuya: "Princess Yuya, are you alright?"
Nangong Yuya had a few minor injuries, but they were not serious. She shook her head slightly: "Thank you, City Lord Du, for your assistance."
At this moment, Du Qinghao arrived. He was slightly stunned seeing Nangong Yuya and Qin Hao in the scene: "Qin, Princess Yuya, what happened?"
Nangong Yuya's eyes turned slightly cold: "We were ambushed on our way back, luckily Mr. Qin happened to pass by and helped us in time, otherwise, I would have been in grave danger."
After speaking, she looked at Qin Hao and asked: "Mr. Qin, how are your injuries?"
Qin Hao's face was slightly pale, "It's nothing, just that the consumption of spiritual energy is a bit high."
Nangong Yuya took out an exquisite jade bottle, "Mr. Qin, this contains high-grade pills for recovering spiritual energy, please take a few."
Qin Hao didn't hesitate, took the jade bottle, and opened the cap. Immediately, a faint and refreshing fragrance wafted out, soothing to the senses.
"City Lord Du, Mr. Qin, I have some matters to attend to and must return. I'll visit you another day to express my gratitude." With that, Nangong Yuya left.
Qin Hao said to Du Qinghao, "Mr. Du, I'll be heading back as well."
"Mr. Qin, let me escort you," Du Qinghao said quickly.
Qin Hao smiled lightly, "No need, it's alright." With that, he headed toward the tavern to find Ye Lingyi.
Not long after Qin Hao left, Du Zhixuan and Du Qinghao also departed. On the way back, Du Zhixuan asked, "Do you know that person?"
Du Qinghao was taken aback for a moment, "Father, which person are you referring to?"
"The young man who helped Nangong Yuya," Du Zhixuan clarified.
Du Qinghao said, "Yes, he attended the banquet today. A few days ago in Jianglan City, he and a Heavenly Human Realm Peak expert fought against two other Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts. Those two were killed, and he played a significant role. Although he might not be able to kill a Heavenly Human Realm Peak expert in single combat, he's still quite formidable and worth befriending."
Today at the banquet, Du Qinghao told others that Qin Hao had once killed a Heavenly Human Realm Peak expert in Jianglan City.
The purpose of saying this was to elevate Qin Hao's status, to give him some face,
Du Zhixuan replied nonchalantly, "Just now he single-handedly fought against four Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts and killed them all."
Du Qinghao's body trembled upon hearing this, and he widened his eyes in disbelief, "He killed four Heavenly Human Realm Peak experts by himself? How's that possible? He's only at the Late Stage Grandmaster Realm."
Du Zhixuan responded, "To slay four Heavenly Human Realm cultivators with the strength of a Late Stage Grandmaster Realm, such talent and power are truly rare. Xiao Hao, you're grown up now, with your own life. As your father, I won't interfere, go ahead and pursue your path."
Du Qinghao nodded slightly, "Thank you, father."
...
On the other side, Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi were walking toward the tavern.
Qin Hao was greatly exhausted; although he took pills, his spiritual energy only recovered a little.
He was the type to grow stronger with adversity and fiercer with combat; the more intense the battle, the more his potential was triggered, making him stronger.
After various post-battle side effects set in, this battle indeed stirred a lot of his body's potential, and now he felt a bit weak in his limbs.
Although Qin Hao had some spiritual energy in his body, the post-battle side effects were quite severe this time.
After walking a while, Qin Hao couldn't hold on anymore, his body staggered, and if not for Ye Lingyi's timely support, he would have nearly fallen.
"Mr. Qin, are you alright?" Ye Lingyi asked with concern as she supported him.
Qin Hao gave an awkward smile, "It's nothing, just feeling a bit exhausted."
Ye Lingyi, holding one of his arms, her face instantly flushed with a hint of red.
Qin Hao also noticed and felt a bit embarrassed.
These matters are better left unsaid.
Ye Lingyi took about ten minutes to help him back to the tavern.
She escorted Qin Hao to a pavilion, where Xian Yin and Ling'er were waiting for him to return. Seeing Qin Hao covered in blood upon his return, their expressions changed dramatically.
Xian Yin hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's happened to you? What is this all about?"
Qin Hao sat on a chair, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, just a bit spent, I'll be fine after a few days' rest."
"Mr. Qin, please rest well, I should go now and will visit you again in a few days." By this time, Ye Lingyi's face had returned to normal, and she said with a smile.
Qin Hao nodded, "Thank you, Princess Lingyi."
"No need to be so polite, Mr. Qin, I'm leaving now." With that, Ye Lingyi turned and walked out.
After Ye Lingyi left, Xian Yin and Ling'er helped Qin Hao back into the room.
"Master, you scared me to death; I thought something had happened to you," Ling'er said with lingering fear as she saw him sitting on the bed.
Qin Hao chuckled, "What could possibly happen to your master? I just encountered injustice and ended up fighting a bit fiercely."
"Master, take good care of your injuries, I won't disturb you," Ling'er said sensibly.
After Ling'er left, Xian Yin prepared some medicinal herbs, intending to give Qin Hao a medicinal bath to help his body recover quicker.
A few minutes later, the medicinal bath was ready. Xian Yin helped Qin Hao undress, then entered the bath herself.
Her face slightly flushed, she said, "Young Master, dual cultivation, with the harmonizing power of yin and yang, is also very helpful for recovering the body's vitality."
