Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao did not escape immediately; it was actually to kill this outer elder of the Red Cloud Sect.

Song Liang was instantly slain, and Nie Feng's expression changed slightly. He turned and ran.

Qin Hao sneered, and the Xuanling Bow appeared in his hand. He shot an arrow, blowing Nie Feng to pieces on the spot.

At this moment, Li Changdong also launched an attack, delivering a powerful palm strike towards Qin Hao.

Qin Hao brandished his sword to defend. Li Changdong's palm struck the alloy longsword with a "clanging" sound, transmitting a tremendous force through his hand.

Borrowing the momentum, Qin Hao flew backward and turned around, flying off into the distance, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Li Changdong's face darkened, feeling a bit surprised. How is he still so fast? Didn't he give the mystical artifact to Xian Yin?

The leader of the Eight Golden Tiger Guards saw Qin Hao escaping and felt frustrated. In terms of strength, they were confident in killing Qin Hao, but this guy was like a slippery eel; his speed was ridiculously fast, and they couldn't catch up.

"What do we do, Governor?" The leader of the Eight Golden Tiger Guards returned to Li Changdong's side.

Li Changdong said, "Let's head back. This person's speed is too fast for us to catch, and now that Nie Feng is dead, we can't find them either."

However, this matter can't just end like that. The Skyfire Dynasty has already agreed to his request to issue a national manhunt for Qin Hao and Xian Yin. But now there's another person to watch for. As long as the three of them appear in the city, they will be discovered.

...

Qin Hao flew for a while and saw Xian Yin flying over alone. "Why did you come back? Where is Ling'er?"

Xian Yin was startled to see Qin Hao escape. "You're okay?"

At first, she also thought Qin Hao had given her the mystical artifact to escape, intending to come back to save Qin Hao. Seeing him escape, she knew that Qin Hao must have more than one of these mystical artifacts.

"I'm fine, but where's Ling'er?" Qin Hao understood Xian Yin's purpose for returning; she must have come to rescue him.

Xian Yin said, "I left Ling'er up ahead and told her to wait for us there."

"Let's go." The two increased their speed to the extreme, shuttling through the forest like lightning, incredibly fast.

A few minutes later, they found Ling'er, who was hiding on an ancient tree.

Seeing Qin Hao and Xian Yin return, Ling'er flew down from the tree. "Master."

Qin Hao embraced her. "It's okay now. We'll talk later. Let's find a safe place first."

The three flew thousands of miles before finally stopping in front of a waterfall.

Below the waterfall was a pool, with a stream flowing beneath it. Qin Hao examined the surrounding environment. "The spiritual energy here is quite dense. Let's train here for a while and carve out a cave behind the waterfall."

Xian Yin nodded slightly. The environment here was beautiful, and the spiritual energy was indeed abundant. It was quite a good spot.

Just as Qin Hao was about to begin, the water in the pool suddenly shook as if something was about to emerge from below.

Qin Hao's expression turned serious. "Be careful, there seems to be a beast in the pool."

Just as he spoke, a giant python emerged halfway from the pool, its bloodred eyes as large as lanterns coldly watching the three of them.

The python's entire body was covered in black scales, with the exposed section coiled together, its head held high, about ten meters long.

Xian Yin sensed the aura emitted by the Black Python and her expression changed slightly. "Is this a Black Python of the Innate Initial Phase?"

"Pathetic humans, daring to intrude on my territory." The Black Python spoke using Divine Sense, transmitting its message into their minds.

Qin Hao produced an alloy longblade, planning to engage this Innate beast.

"Swoosh"

Qin Hao rushed forward, unleashing the Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Skill.

The Black Python roared repeatedly, using its tough scales to fight Qin Hao above the pool.

Xian Yin protected Ling'er and backed away some distance, watching as man and beast battled. Qin Hao's combat prowess was terrifying, and the power of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Skill had significantly increased. They fought to a stalemate, evenly matched.

The battle was truly terrifying.

The more Qin Hao fought, the more valiant he became, radiating dazzling light all over his body, resembling a War God descending to the mortal world, immense and fearsome.

After battling for more than an hour, the Black Python died at Qin Hao's hands, and Qin Hao, now somewhat exhausted, sat by the shore to meditate and recover.

Xian Yin and Ling'er came over to help handle the Black Python's corpse. The snake's gall was a medicinal ingredient and a key component in concocting the Innate Elixir, something Xian Yin now needed.

The Black Python's body was enormous. After over half an hour, Qin Hao had mostly recovered, though they still had not finished dealing with it.

"Mr. Qin, this Black Python's gall is a valuable item. Combined with Fiery Flame Herb and other ingredients, it can be used to refine the Innate Elixir." Xian Yin said with a smile.

Qin Hao nodded slightly. "I don't need it; you take it for your use. I only want the beast core."

While the two were cleaning the Black Python's corpse, Qin Hao began chiseling a cave on the mountainside. By the time they finished, Qin Hao had already carved out a sizable cave suitable for all three to train in.

Qin Hao gathered some dry grass to spread inside the cave, and after Xian Yin and Ling'er finished with the Black Python's corpse, they too entered the cave.

Xian Yin took off the Space Mecha ring and handed it to Qin Hao. "Mr. Qin, here is your mystical artifact back."

Qin Hao said, "You hold onto it for now. Hunt some beasts during the day and bring back some beast cores to train with."

Xian Yin was tempted by his words. This mystical artifact was extraordinary, with rapid speed and great power increases. "Mr. Qin, this is too valuable."

"No worries, keep it for now. This way, you can kill more beasts and enhance your strengths." Qin Hao insisted.

Then Qin Hao spoke to Xue Lingling. "Ling'er, come here."

Xue Lingling quickly ran over. "What is it, Master?"

"Take this item with you. If you encounter danger, activate it." Qin Hao took out another Space Mecha and gave it to Ling'er.

Xian Yin was stunned. How many of these incredibly powerful mystical artifacts does he have?

Xue Lingling put on the Space Mecha ring and went through the recognition procedure and so on.

Qin Hao said, "With these, I can be at ease. As long as you don't encounter extremely powerful experts, escaping shouldn't be an issue."

"Thank you, Master," Xue Lingling giggled.

Qin Hao said, "Hmm, go and hunt some beasts, improve your combat experience."

Xian Yin and Ling'er left. It wasn't even noon yet; the two of them should be able to kill several late-stage beasts.

Qin Hao opened the system. When he slew Song Liang, the outer elder of the Red Cloud Sect, he heard the reward prompt: one thousand merit points and a random mystical artifact.

"Draw random mystical artifact."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining an intermediate mystical artifact, the Green Lotus Sword."

Qin Hao took it out to have a look. The Green Lotus Sword and the Xuanling Bow were of the same level, both considered intermediate mystical artifacts.
