Attack

Qin Hao leaped out the window, appearing high in the air. He drove his longsword directly into the wall, used it for leverage, and vaulted through a window into the room below.

Boom! The moment Qin Hao's feet touched the ground, a thunderous blast erupted from the rooftop. The floor above shook violently, and dust rained down.

Who was it? They actually brought out firearms. Qin Hao thought quickly as his figure vanished from the spot. If there was a Stun Grenade, there had to be a sniper nearby.

The moment Qin Hao disappeared, a bullet hole appeared where he had been standing.

What kind of grudge is this? They're trying to kill me outright. Qin Hao swiftly reached the stairs and headed upstairs, preparing to fight the four people above.

Without the threat of a sniper, even if the warriors upstairs were all War Generals, they posed only a limited threat to Qin Hao. Only by dealing with those four could he spare the attention to find the sniper.

As Qin Hao prepared to head upstairs, the four people above were also rapidly making their way down.

"Baka! I didn't expect this brat to be so troublesome." Hearing the Japanese, Qin Hao immediately knew who the four were.

Little Japan? Then there's no need to hold back. Qin Hao's feet instantly unleashed force. The Force Generation of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade erupted at once, and his longsword shot directly toward the four of them.

The Third Layer of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade gave him 2.8 times the force. Combined with the explosive strength of an Intermediate War General, his power had already surpassed that of over half of all Advanced Warlords. His blade flashed toward the smallest member of the group.

With a slash, the longsword instantly killed the person.

"Sakurako!"

As Qin Hao attacked, the other three drew their longswords and charged at him. Seeing Qin Hao cut down one of their own, they roared in fury, and their attacks became even more vicious.

Sensing the attacks closing in, Qin Hao swayed. His Micro-Level Movement Technique narrowly evaded strikes from three directions. At the same time, he unleashed the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. Just as their three blades ran out of momentum, he struck their sword bodies. The immense force nearly sent their weapons flying from their hands.

However, all three possessed extensive combat experience and quickly recovered. Their grips on their katanas tightened instinctively. In an instant, the three retreated, staring warily at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao stared back at them. With a flick of Extreme Shadow in his hand, he flung all the blood from its blade. Though it had only been a brief exchange, Qin Hao had discovered that the remaining three were all Intermediate War Generals. Their base strength was even somewhat greater than his own. He had only gained the upper hand because he had caught them off guard.

"Brat, you dared to kill someone from the Little Japan Empire. We'll make sure you stay here today." One of the three spoke, this time in Chinese.

"The Little Japan Empire? Little Japan sank ages ago. Yet you still dare to run wild on Huaguo soil? None of you are leaving today." Qin Hao felt an instinctive hostility toward Little Japan. In this world, Little Japan had vanished during the Great Nirvana and no longer had much of a presence.

But as a transmigrator, Qin Hao's hostility toward Little Japan had not diminished in the slightest. Now that they had even tried to kill him, he had nothing left to hold back.

"Kill!" Qin Hao's words enraged the three before him, and they charged straight at him.

This time, their attacks were no longer chaotic. Their coordination was exceptionally seamless. The moment the first man's attack arrived, the attacks of the other two swiftly followed. Three consecutive strikes pressed in on him.

Qin Hao regarded the attacks with utmost seriousness. His longsword swept out, avoiding the trio's blows while counterattacking. They quickly clashed, and Qin Hao clearly felt the pressure mounting.

Yet under that pressure, Qin Hao became even more excited. In his previous life, he had been an angry young man who could only rant during peaceful times. Now, things were completely different.

Qin Hao's attacks grew faster and faster, simple and direct. Every slash erupted with his full strength, while his Micro-Level Movement Technique became increasingly proficient. Like a dancer, he artfully evaded attacks amid the battle while pushing his own offense to its limits.

After the brief exchange, Qin Hao became more skilled with the Third Layer of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, and his Force Generation grew more natural. He freely shifted between the First, Second, and Third Layers. The force behind his slashes became unpredictable, his Blade Technique alternately fast and slow, casting layer upon layer of blade shadows around him.

"Damn it, prepare to retreat." The three Little Japan warriors sensed that something was wrong. The fight was becoming increasingly difficult, and they began preparing to withdraw, slowly backing away as they fought.

Qin Hao pressed forward step by step, intending to kill all three. Just as they neared the window, their katanas collided, sending sparks flying. One of the Little Japan warriors scattered a handful of powder, and the sparks transformed into a burst of flame that surged toward Qin Hao.

Qin Hao showed no fear. He changed his slash into a strike, and the immense force drove the surrounding air into a gust that rolled the incoming flames back.

But when the firelight dispersed, the three had already vanished. Qin Hao approached the window to pursue them. Just as he neared it, every hair on his body stood on end. A wave of danger washed over him. Looking up, he saw a bullet speeding toward him. Qin Hao did not dare hesitate in the slightest. His body moved swiftly, vanishing from the spot.

The moment he left, a bullet struck the ground not far from where he had been standing. Its tremendous power punched straight through the floor. Seeing this, Qin Hao immediately understood that the hidden attacker was using a special sniper rifle.

The power of this sniper rifle far exceeded that of ordinary firearms. Even ordinary War Generals would find it difficult to deal with. Moreover, this group clearly intended to kill him. From their initial assault to their immediate retreat after failing to land a blow, along with the sniper ready to provide support at any time, it was clear that this was not their first time doing something like this.

Qin Hao did not pursue them immediately. The sniper was hidden in the dark while he was exposed; charging out recklessly would only turn him into a target. Even though firearms posed less and less of a threat after reaching the Intermediate War General level, fighting a sniper in the darkness was clearly not a wise move.

Still, since they had dared to attack him, the enmity had been formed. His next objective was clear: deal with this group of Little Japan warriors first. Qin Hao made up his mind. Fighting Monsters could temper him, but it was difficult for them to stir the sense of crisis within him.

After all, he had come from an era of peace in his previous life. Though the environment in this life was harsh, he had still lived in relative stability. Mentally, he had yet to completely adapt.

The cultivation of a strong person was not merely the training of strength, but also the tempering of one's character and mindset. Only with the heart of a strong person, a fearless heart, could one avoid becoming lost on the path ahead.
