Urban God-level Youth

Spear lights were everywhere, radiant and bright.

Gao Youwei had been practicing the Thunderbolt Spear Skill since childhood, and his understanding of it was very deep. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to execute six moves of the Thunderbolt Spear Skill in less than a second.

Thousands of Sword Qi collided with six radiant spear lights as bright as small suns.

An intangible wave of energy rippled out, causing the buildings below to collapse under the pressure.

The Sword Qi dissipated, and the spear lights dimmed.

After a dozen seconds, the spear lights faded away, but Qin Hao's Sword Qi still remained, all striking Gao Youwei's body.

Light radiated from Gao Youwei's body as his protective artifact activated. Despite the powerful protective artifact, he could barely hold on, spitting blood, his figure trembling in mid-air.

Qin Hao focused his index and middle fingers, slicing through the air with one hand, creating a Sword Qi of more than ten zhang in length out of thin air, aiming to slash Gao Youwei's head.

Gao Youwei's face changed dramatically. He was severely injured internally, completely powerless to counter, only able to watch helplessly as the Sword Qi soared towards him.

He was unwilling and incredulous, how did he lose so quickly? I am in the Late Stage Grandmaster Realm, and he's just in the Late Postnatal Realm.

The onlookers were equally shocked, Gao Youwei lost? He lost so quickly, the battle hadn't even lasted a few minutes, and he's defeated, isn't this Qin Hao too abnormal?

Seeing the Sword Qi Qin Hao unleashed, many people's expressions changed, was he going to kill the princely heir Gao Youwei?

This is too fierce, wasn't he afraid of angering the Commandery Prince?

Although Qin Hao hadn't broken through in cultivation, his understanding of Sword Intent and Divine Skills had deepened compared to before, and his combat power was incomparable.

Just as the Sword Qi was about to reach Gao Youwei, a streak of light shot from the distant night sky, scattering Qin Hao's Sword Qi.

"Mr. Qin, let this matter end here," a voice came from afar, slow and calm yet exuding authority.

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a grave expression. This person is a master, a very powerful master; could it be the Commandery Prince of Yuxing County?

The onlookers heard this voice and were startled, "Is this the Commandery Prince of Yuxing County's voice?"

"That's right, it's the Commandery Prince's voice. If it weren't for his intervention, Gao Youwei would surely have died."

"Unexpectedly, even the Commandery Prince intervened in the end; Qin Hao is truly terrifying, and it seems he hasn't used his full strength yet, his combat power is incredibly frightening."

"How is it that he is so strong being in the same Innate Realm?"

"Isn't this unfair, is he the heavens' favored child?"

...

Qin Hao looked at the distant night sky and said indifferently, "Today I will give face to the Commandery Prince, but next time, don't blame me for being merciless."

Arrogant, conceited, domineering...

His words completely elevated his status to the same level as the Commandery Prince.

The Commandery Prince was silent for a few seconds, then spoke, "Good!"

His reply made everyone incredulous, since when was the Commandery Prince so agreeable? Moreover, his reply implied he regarded Qin Hao as an equal.

Could his combat power rival the legendary Heavenly Human Realm masters?

Many looked at Qin Hao with disbelief; is he really that terrifying?

At that moment, a wave of energy came from the distant night sky, instantly sweeping away Gao Youwei in mid-air, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Qin Hao glanced at the ruin of the Golden Phoenix Building, then turned and left with Xian Yin and Ling'er.

...

In the lounge of the Commandery Prince Mansion, Gao Youwei had been brought back by his father.

Gao Youwei looked at his father and spoke with his head lowered, "I'm sorry, father, for disappointing you."

Gao Yuan looked at him and said, "Even if I fought him, I wouldn't be certain of victory; this person is too strange."

Gao Youwei was shocked, "Father, you are a Heavenly Human Realm master, even facing him you lack certain victory?"

Gao Yuan: "Only seventy percent certain, no guarantee of victory. Don't provoke such a person."

Gao Youwei nodded, the shock in his heart indescribable, even his father wasn't certain of victory, how could he be so formidable?

Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Qin Hao and his companions returned, Liu Zhong saw him and showed full respect, "Mr. Qin is back, I've arranged special female attendants in the courtyard. If you need anything, Mr. Qin can directly tell them."

He had seen the result of the battle just now, terrifying, abnormal. This kind of person is not someone he can afford to provoke, even the sect behind him wouldn't want to offend such a person.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "I appreciate it, Mr. Liu."

"No trouble, no trouble at all, Mr. Qin is too kind," Liu Zhong replied quickly, feeling honored.

Qin Hao and his companions returned to the secluded courtyard within the pavilion. Two young female attendants stood at the entrance, and upon seeing Qin Hao and his companions return, they bowed slightly, "Master, Miss."

Back in the room, Qin Hao checked the system, finding that after defeating the people in the Golden Phoenix Building, he had gained about five thousand merit points.

At this moment, the Spirit Stone in his storage space was nearly exhausted. The three of them used a lot of Spirit Stone for cultivation, especially as their realms reached higher, the consumption of Spirit Stone increased geometrically.

If he wished to break through a small realm now, he would need to expend at least tens of millions of lower-grade Spirit Stones.

However, he was pleased that Xian Yin's realm was now the same as his, and Ling'er had reached the Late Postnatal Realm, counting as a minor master.

The next morning.

Qin Hao and his companions were planning to leave after breakfast. Just as they were finishing, a maid entered, "Master, Miss, someone from the Commandery Prince Mansion is seeking an audience outside."

Xian Yin paused, puzzled, people from the Commandery Prince Mansion? Could it be for revenge?

Qin Hao spoke, "Let them in."

The Commandery Prince Mansion controlled the Transmission Array of Yuxing City; he didn't want to completely offend the Commandery Prince Mansion until necessary.

Soon, an old man with white hair walked in from outside. He was spirited, despite his white hair, exuding a powerful aura, "Mr. Qin, Miss Xian Yin, I am the steward of the Commandery Prince Mansion, my surname is Gao."

"Is there a reason for Mr. Gao to seek me?" Qin Hao asked calmly.

Mr. Gao: "By order of the Commandery Prince, I've come to invite Mr. Qin and his companions to be guests at the Commandery Prince Mansion. The Commandery Prince has no other intentions, just wishes to make friends with heroes like Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao thought for a moment and replied, "Alright, lead the way."

"Please, Mr. Qin."

The three of them exited the secluded courtyard. In front of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion stood a luxurious carriage. Qin Hao and his companions climbed aboard, and Mr. Gao from the Commandery Prince Mansion steered the beasts.

Two beasts took to the air, speeding towards the central Commandery Prince Mansion in the inner city.
