Urban God-level Youth

This is a bit troublesome now, Pei Changming is an Innate master, and that elder from the Red Cloud Sect should also be an Innate-level expert.

Added with Nie Feng and others, he can't fight head-on; if it weren't for Xue Lingling, he might give it a try.

"Die."

Pei Changming's figure disappeared from the spot, and he struck out a palm in the air, a giant flame palm towards Qin Hao.

"Is this the Fire Cloud Palm, the Pei Family's ultimate skill?"

"It's been many years since I've seen the Pei Family's Fire Cloud Palm, and its power is still as potent as back in the day."

"Boom"

A giant palm print appeared on the ground where Qin Hao stood, and the entire inn trembled slightly.

As the dust settled, there was no sign of Qin Hao.

At this moment, Qin Hao was holding Xue Lingling while standing on the second floor. When Pei Changming and others saw him, they slightly squinted their eyes, flashing a hint of surprise at the speed.

"Who exactly are you?" Pei Changming asked as he looked at him.

Qin Hao sneered: "Who I am, you're not qualified to know."

Pei Changming's face darkened: "Arrogant."

He raised his palm and struck again; Qin Hao, unfazed, joined his index and middle fingers, using them as a sword, sweeping out wisps of Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi seemed chaotic, but it actually contained a profound Sword Intent.

Pei Changming and the others initially looked disdainful, but after a few seconds, their expressions changed; this was no ordinary Sword Qi.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The Sword Qi and Pei Changming's Fire Cloud Palm collided, and although Pei Changming was an Innate-level expert, his Fire Cloud Palm did not overwhelm Qin Hao's Sword Qi.

"Such strong Sword Intent, Mr. Pei, let me assist you." The elder from the Red Cloud Sect, Song Liang, stepped forward.

Wielding a long sword, he swung it forward, a red Sword Beam swept horizontally, imposing in momentum, causing the entire wooden inn to shake.

Others blocked the inn's exit to prevent Qin Hao from escaping.

Qin Hao flicked his fingers, Sword Qi sweeping out, cutting towards Song Liang's Sword Beam.

"Boom"

The Sword Qi and the Sword Beam collided; after a few seconds of stalemate, the Sword Qi was broken, and the Sword Beam's power also reduced significantly as it continued to sweep over.

Forcing, Qin Hao took out his alloy long sword, a Sword Beam swept out, shattering the red Sword Beam.

Not far away, Pang Yi saw Qin Hao's alloy long sword, his expression froze, soon reacting with uncertainty as he looked at Qin Hao: "Elder, the sword he holds is exactly like Qin Hao's."

"Powerful Sword Intent? Elder, he's Qin Hao, the Sword Intent Talisman is in his hand." Nie Feng heard Pang Yi's words and quickly reacted, speaking urgently.

Song Liang suddenly realized: "No wonder you possess such strong Sword Intent, you are Qin Hao."

Qin Hao said nothing, holding Ling'er with one arm, wielding the alloy long sword in the other, performing Ten Thousand Thunder Breaking the Sky, enveloping everyone present.

Upon seeing the familiar move, Nie Feng, Pang Yi, and others became even more convinced he was Qin Hao.

"Kill."

Song Liang charged against the tide, his long sword waving, layers of Sword Beams enveloped Qin Hao. He exerted his full effort; such items like a Sword Intent Talisman are rare and must be obtained, greatly enhancing his strength.

Pei Changming, seeking revenge for his son and to establish the Pei Family's prestige, also fully exerted his effort, with others attacking from the periphery.

This left Qin Hao a bit overwhelmed.

His realm wasn't high, only advantageous in having the spatial Mecha; holding Xue Lingling, he protected her fully, rushing outward with the highest speed.

Along the way, several Sword Beams and palm prints hit his back.

Although the spatial Mecha had strong defensive capabilities, the powerful counterforce from the attacks caused him some internal injury.

The wooden inn's wall was directly smashed into a large hole by Qin Hao, his figure disappeared instantly without a trace.

Though the foremost feature of the spatial Mecha is space jumping, his normal speed is terrifying; the superluminal propulsion device allowed Qin Hao to fly out of Changliu City in less than three seconds.

Pei Changming didn't even have time to activate the City Protection Array.

"Wha... what is this speed?" Pei Changming looked incredulously at Qin Hao's disappearing figure.

Song Liang explained: "This person should be using some secret treasure, otherwise, the speed wouldn't be so fast. Even experts in the Grandmaster Realm don't have such speed."

"It's a pity, letting this kid escape." Pei Changming's eyes flashed a trace of regret, realizing that if he had directly activated the City Protection Array at the start, Qin Hao wouldn't have gotten away.

Song Liang continued: "Mr. Pei need not fret, our Red Cloud Sect has issued a wanted order for him; as long as he's in Jiangping State, he can't get away."

…

After Qin Hao and Ling'er left Changliu City, they flew for another distance before stopping.

Setting Ling'er down, Qin Hao looked at Xue Lingling and asked: "Ling'er, are you alright?"

"Uncle, I'm alright, are you injured?" She noticed blood at the corner of Qin Hao's mouth, looking a bit worried.

Qin Hao wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Just then, a figure suddenly flew out from the distant bushes, moving like lightning, its bloody mouth aimed at Xue Lingling.

"Screech"

Qin Hao's alloy long sword flashed out, directly slicing the Lightning Leopard in half, its blood pouring out, splattering everywhere.

Xue Lingling was startled, watching the Lightning Leopard nervously on the ground, its body still crackling with arcs of lightning, extremely scary.

"Congratulations to the host for slaying the Lightning Leopard, rewarded with 10 merit points."

Within the Lightning Leopard's body, Qin Hao found a demon core, sparkling with arc lightning, a valuable item.

Cultivators can absorb and refine it, or sell it to alchemists to refine into pills.

After cleaning up the Lightning Leopard, Qin Hao said: "Let's go, Ling'er."

The two walked in the mountain forest, where there were many beasts; only in those towns was it safe, and generally, few would walk alone in the wild forest.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Xue Lingling asked curiously as she followed him.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said: "Let's go to Jiangping City first; it's the state city of Jiangping State, very bustling."

Walking alongside, Xue Lingling asked curiously: "Uncle, where do you intend to go?"

Qin Hao was momentarily stunned, his eyes showing a trace of melancholy and confusion: "I don't know where to go either."

"Uncle, how can you not know where you're going?" Xue Lingling curiously looked at him.

Qin Hao: "I don't know where they are either."

"Who are they?"

Qin Hao: "My son and daughter were taken away by someone, and I'm looking for them, but I have no idea where they are."

Xue Lingling comforted him: "Uncle, you'll definitely find them; they will be alright."

"Thank you for your kind words." Qin Hao smiled, patting her head.

At night, Qin Hao and Ling'er spent the night in the mountain forest; Qin Hao opened the merit mall and hesitated before exchanging for a superior cultivation technique.

That night, Qin Hao cultivated while studying the Sword Intent Talisman.

By morning, with the sun rising.

Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes, his bright gaze seemed to flash with sword light, terrifying and daunting.
