Clearing the Area

Jiang Tianlong's gaze was dark as he looked at the person with a hint of apprehension, saying to Qin Hao, "It's this person who injured me with a single blow last time. You need to be careful."

Upon hearing Jiang Tianlong's words, Qin Hao felt even more that the person before him was not simple. Jiang Tianlong was a Core Formation cultivator, and to be able to defeat him with one blow, their strength was at least late Core Formation, or even Nascent Soul stage.

"You fool who doesn't know when to quit! I let you go last time, and you dare to come looking for trouble with me again? It seems you're tired of living."

A hoarse voice came from within the black robe, making it very uncomfortable to listen to.

Looking at the person before him, Qin Hao felt no fear at all. Although he didn't know this person's cultivation level, he figured they couldn't be that strong. The most important thing was whether this old man had any companions.

But then again, if things went south, he still had attribute points to forcibly increase his strength. He also hadn't practiced two Body Forging techniques yet. If he combined them all, his strength would greatly increase, and he wouldn't be afraid. His skin was tough, and his defense and recovery were very strong.

At this moment, the old man turned his head towards Qin Hao, his gaze lingering on Qin Hao for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Did you kill my ghosts just now, kid?"

"Do you know that I spent a great deal to raise these ghostly creatures?"

As he spoke, a chain swung towards Qin Hao and the other person at extreme speed. Before Jiang Tianlong could even react, the chain was already in front of them.

Jiang Tianlong's expression changed drastically, cold sweat breaking out. He thought, This is bad! He could only raise his arms to block the attack.

Just as Jiang Tianlong thought the chain was about to hit him, a thick hand appeared at lightning speed and firmly grasped the incoming chain.

The owner of this hand was none other than Qin Hao, who stood beside him with a leisurely expression.

Qin Hao grabbed the chain, a smile on his face as he looked at the old man and said, "Hey, old man! Let me play with you."

After saying that, he began to exert force.

Just as Qin Hao started to exert force, the old man's face showed shock. He felt the immense strength coming from the other end of the chain. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless!

He was being slowly dragged towards Qin Hao bit by bit. Realizing he couldn't compete with Qin Hao in terms of strength, the old man decisively let go of the chain.

He looked at Qin Hao's muscular body and suddenly thought of a type of person: Body Refinement Martial Artists! Only people who specialized in forging their physiques could possess such great strength.

He no longer looked down on the young man before him, and his eyes became serious. The hoarse voice echoed from his mouth again, "You're a Body Refinement Martial Artist, aren't you? No wonder you have so much strength."

"It's truly rare to encounter a Body Refinement Martial Artist with some achievement in this small Qingshi County, haha."

"Which faction are you from? Mount Tai? Or the Immortal Pavilion?"

The old man stared intently at Qin Hao.

Hearing the old man's question, Qin Hao was completely bewildered because he had never heard of these factions before.

Jiang Tianlong, seeing Qin Hao clueless, explained to him, "Mount Tai and the Immortal Pavilion are super factions in the Eastern Region! They are top-tier existences across the entire Sky Profound Continent."

"Their factions even have cultivators at the level of Ascended beings, truly terrifying existences."

Qin Hao had never heard of this before. Previously, he had only heard of ordinary small sects, with Nascent Soul being the highest cultivation level.

However, his current self didn't even fear Nascent Soul. In less than a month, he had reached a level that ordinary people couldn't achieve in a lifetime, all thanks to his Body Forging system.

He was truly lucky!

Just as Qin Hao was processing this information, Jiang Tianlong beside him identified the old man's identity.

Jiang Tianlong stared intently at the old man, his expression serious as he said, "You're from Ghost Immortal City, aren't you?"

He had carefully examined the old man just now and noticed a large character "Immortal" on the black robe the old man was wearing!

Ghost Immortal City's most distinctive symbol was its black robes, with the character "Immortal" on them.

Qin Hao, hearing Jiang Tianlong's words, also noticed the character "Immortal" on the old man's black robe. As for Ghost Immortal City, he had heard Elder Yang mention it when he was at the Ghost Nest.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

"Haha, in this little place, people have heard of my Immortal City?"

"How about it, want to join us? I can give you a chance to live!"

"If you join Ghost Immortal City, I'll spare your lives."

After speaking, the old man stopped talking and waited for their choice.

Hearing the old man's offer, Jiang Tianlong said with disdain, "Bah! Heretical ways, trash that harms your own kind, you think you're worthy of recruiting me, Jiang Tianlong."

Hearing Jiang Tianlong's answer, the old man wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Qin Hao beside him. His target was originally Qin Hao, so Jiang Tianlong's choice was not important to him.

Noticing the old man's gaze, Qin Hao also showed a look of disdain. He arrogantly looked at the old man and said, "Hey! Old man! I, Qin Hao, am a Heavenly Dragon Guard at a young age with a bright future. Do you think I would join your shady faction?"

After speaking, he even threw the chain he had snatched from the old man back at him.

"Hmph! Ungrateful brat, I will make you regret your choice tonight!"

With that, more ghostly energy erupted from the old man, instantly filling the entire courtyard. The incoming chain was corroded and destroyed by the ghostly energy emanating from the old man.

The ghostly creatures in the courtyard that were touched by the ghostly energy began to go berserk, their strength greatly increasing. Their eyes glowed red as they stared fiercely at Qin Hao and the other person.

And streams of smaller ghosts were converging on the courtyard from all directions.

Qin Hao also realized that the old man's Ghost Spirit was not simple. It not only had corrosive properties but also affected weaker ghosts and humans.

"Kill them!"

Hearing the old man's command, the small ghosts charged at Qin Hao and the other person like madmen.

"Damn it! Why are there still so many ghostly creatures?"

Seeing more ghostly creatures converging from other places, Jiang Tianlong looked troubled. He took out a saber from his storage bag.

As his true energy circulated, Jiang Tianlong's entire body began to transform. Blazing firelight erupted from his body, the flames spreading to his entire saber.

"Blazing Fire Slash!"

Jiang Tianlong drew his saber and slashed horizontally.

Jiang Tianlong instantly unleashed several slashes, sending arcs of blade energy formed from flames, each ten meters long, in all directions.

The ghostly creatures struck by the blade energy let out miserable cries. Almost half of the ghostly creatures were instantly annihilated by Jiang Tianlong.

Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't just stand by and let Jiang Tianlong snatch all the attribute points.

Qin Hao said to Jiang Tianlong beside him, "Constable Jiang, be careful!"

As he spoke, lightning surged from Qin Hao's arms, forming a pair of dragon claws made of electricity on his arms.

Hearing Qin Hao's warning, Jiang Tianlong finally reacted, "Hey, wait for me!"

He said this while jumping upwards with all his might.

A slight smile crept onto Qin Hao's lips. He began to build up power in his arms, spun his entire body, and with a powerful thrust of his arms, two claw strikes swept out in all directions.

Seeing this, the elder waved his black robe and vanished from his original spot, reappearing above the Zhang residence.

Wherever the lightning claws struck, all the ghostly creatures were instantly evaporated, like water meeting the scorching sun. Even the elder's ghostly energy was evaporated the moment it touched Qin Hao's lightning.

The claw strikes didn't stop, continuing towards the surrounding walls. With several loud booms, several walls of the Zhang residence were instantly destroyed by Qin Hao's claw strikes before they slowly dissipated.

With one claw strike, the entire scene fell silent.

The Zhang family's old residence, which had been a chaotic scene of demonic revelry moments before, instantly became eerily quiet.
