Urban God-level Youth

The few people looked at Qin Hao and Xian Yin, and when they saw the veiled Xian Yin, their eyes lit up.

Although Xian Yin was veiled, her figure and demeanor were extraordinary.

"Didn't expect there would be two more people, and she looks quite nice." The person looked Xian Yin up and down without restraint.

Xian Yin's willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face frostbitten. She raised her hand and struck out with a powerful Qi Force, and the five burly men across from her instantly fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

She only intended to teach these people a lesson, not too lightly, nor too heavily.

Ling'er hurried back to Qin Hao and Xian Yin's side: "Master, they deliberately blocked my way."

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "I know."

The few people got up from the ground and glared viciously at the three of them: "You dare to hit us, do you know who we are?"

Qin Hao glanced at them and said indifferently, "I don't care who you are. Get lost now, or I'll end you right here."

When they heard his words, they couldn't help but shiver. Although Qin Hao's tone was calm, there was a chilling coldness in it.

They hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran away into the distance.

Just now, Xian Yin alone had displayed enough strength. They were not her opponents at all; escaping now was the best choice, and they would deal with them later after bringing reinforcements.

After they left, Qin Hao and the other two headed towards the inner city. It was about eleven in the morning, and when they reached the gate of the inner city, a team of soldiers was conducting inspections there.

As the three approached, a soldier stopped them: "Young master, entering the inner city requires registration. Please state your name."

"Qin Hao."

The soldier guarding the city felt the name was familiar but couldn't recall where he had heard it. After registering, he proceeded to register Xian Yin and Ling'er as well.

After the registration, the three of them paid three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones before entering the inner city.

Entering the inner city, it was evident it was much more prosperous than the outer city; just looking at the decorations of the shops on both sides of the street and the signboards could tell they weren't on the same level.

And you could see that almost everyone walking on the street was dressed in brocade clothes or had an impressive presence.

Qin Hao: "Let's first find a place for lunch, try the signature dishes here, and then find a place to stay for a day. We'll continue the journey tomorrow."

This suited Xue Lingling perfectly, as today was the New Year Festival, and it would surely be lively at night. They could play for a bit and continue their journey tomorrow.

Although this was the inner city of Yuxing City, its area was no smaller than a regular city, and it was even larger.

While they were walking down the street, a group of people approached aggressively from afar, heading towards the city gate.

The three of them were quite conspicuous, a man and a woman with a child.

Before the group got too close, they spotted the three: "It's them; didn't expect they would come here themselves."

The group quickly ran over and surrounded the three.

Tao Bin glared at the three viciously: "There's a way to heaven you do not walk, but you've barged into hell without a gate. How dare you beat people from the Golden Phoenix Building, are you tired of living?"

"Brother Bin, how do you see these two girls? With a bit of training, they might become top performers in our Golden Phoenix Building." One of the men who had been beaten smiled fawningly at Tao Bin.

Tao Bin looked at Ling'er and Xian Yin, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes: "Not bad. You weren't lying this time; their appearance is indeed impressive. Take off the veil," he said at last to Xian Yin.

Xian Yin glanced at him coldly but did not respond.

Tao Bin sneered: "Ah, quite the fiery temper. But I like conquering women like this because that's where the thrill is."

...

Those around stopped to watch what was happening.

"Isn't that Tao Bin from the Golden Phoenix Building? He's snatching female cultivators from out of town again."

"Alas, the Golden Phoenix Building is backed by the Commandery Prince's mansion. Who dares to provoke them? Being targeted by them means tough luck."

"Indeed, this isn't the first time. Just days ago, I saw Tao Bin, relying on his strength and the backing of the Commandery Prince, snatch three female cultivators from out of town, forcing them to become prostitutes in the Golden Phoenix Building."

"I know those three female cultivators you're talking about. They're in the Golden Phoenix Building now. After consuming their drugs, they have no choice but to comply."

"It's a pity for these two beauties, one big and one little, both exceptional beauties. This time they might fetch a good price."

"If they really auction off those two beauties, I'll definitely attend the auction. I won't want the bigger one, just one night with the little one is enough, more interesting to play."

"Liu, you have quite an interesting taste."

...

This is a world where people prey upon people, far more brutal than the world Qin Hao came from.

The weak have no dignity here, and there is virtually no rule of law. Only the strong are entitled to respect and dignity, and the strong's words are the truth.

At this moment, Qin Hao deeply realized the cruelty of this world.

No matter if you're on the street, as long as you're weak, you may be humiliated or even killed, and no one will care. Even if you lie dead on the street, no one will bother with you.

Qin Hao's eyes grew colder, like icy blades, exuding a chilling coldness.

He looked at Tao Bin, and a flash of light swept through his eyes. Suddenly, a Sword Qi appeared, severing Tao Bin's third leg.

Screams erupted, and Tao Bin looked down at himself, blood gushing: "You... I'll have you sliced to pieces."

"Swish"

The Sword Qi appeared again, this time cutting off one of his arms.

Everyone from the Golden Phoenix Building was taken aback, and the onlookers were stunned. Damn, this is an expert, definitely an expert.

Tao Bin looked at Qin Hao with horrified eyes: "Who the hell are you?"

"The one who will kill you." Qin Hao's gaze was exceptionally fierce; he'd never emanated such killing intent before.

Tao Bin's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth against the pain: "I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai. Please, senior, spare my life."

Qin Hao snorted coldly: "Spare your life? If I were just a powerless person, would you let us go?"

Finishing speaking, a gleam flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and a storm of Sword Qi ensued, slicing Tao Bin into several pieces on the spot, terrifying beyond measure.

The rest from the Golden Phoenix Building were stunned, and the onlookers watched in amazement. Tao Bin, a renowned expert from their building, was instantly killed? What kind of freak is this?

Qin Hao stepped forward, and instantly a myriad of Sword Qi emerged, weaving through the crowd from the Golden Phoenix Building.

Screams echoed one after another, and within seconds the street fell silent. Almost thirty people from the Golden Phoenix Building, none survived.

At this moment, the Patrol Guard of the inner city also arrived, but seeing Qin Hao's power, they didn't dare approach.

Without even glancing at those on the ground, Qin Hao, with Xian Yin and Ling'er, walked further in.
