Crushing

The old man didn't immediately answer Qin Hao. Instead, he slowly walked forward, coming up beside the three ghostly creatures and looking at them grimly.

In a flash, several iron chains shot out from the old man's body, attacking the ghostly creatures. In an instant, the ghostly creatures were tightly bound by the iron chains, unable to move, their eyes filled with terror.

Qin Hao was startled by the old man's actions. Why is this old guy doing this all of a sudden?

Just as Qin Hao was dazed, the iron chains binding the ghostly creatures began to retract rapidly. Soon, the old man forcefully pulled the ghostly creatures into his body!

"Hahahaha, kid, just you wait and see how I kill you!"

After pulling the three fourth-tier ghostly creatures into his body, the old man's body began to change again. His skin turned blue, his height shot up to a terrifying four meters, and his muscles bulged to an astonishing degree. He looked like the Hulk, but much more terrifying and sinister.

Seeing this, Qin Hao said with great disappointment, "Damn it! I was too slow. The duck I had my eye on flew away!"

Seeing Qin Hao's dejected expression, the old man let out a long-lost smile and said, "Kid, you're scared now? Heh heh, too LATE! Hahaha."

At this moment, the old man was like a reborn man, completely devoid of his previous listlessness, only filled with laughter.

"Take this hammer blow! Let's see if you can still be so arrogant!" Having said that, he picked up the bone hammer and charged at Qin Hao again.

Seeing this, Qin Hao also became excited. He sank his body low, tensed his legs, and sprang out like a cannonball.

"Hahaha, let's see how much you've improved!" He said, throwing a punch at the old man.

Seeing this, the old man calmly swung his bone hammer to strike Qin Hao.

With a single "boom," a deafening sound erupted. The ground collapsed, and the Old Zhang Family Residence had already turned into a giant pit.

The sound of the collision between fist and hammer echoed throughout the entire city again.

"Hahaha, good. Come on." Qin Hao became more and more excited as they fought. After blocking the old man's hammer blow, Qin Hao quickly spun 360 degrees in mid-air and kicked the old man hard in the back. A visible dent appeared in his back, and the sound of breaking bones followed.

"Ah!" The old man was sent flying back hundreds of meters by Qin Hao's unexpected kick.

The moment he was sent flying, the old man slammed his bone hammer into the ground to slow his speed. The houses along the way were completely destroyed by the shockwave from this kick, carving out a ravine hundreds of meters long.

After finally stopping, the old man endured the severe pain from his body and looked up in Qin Hao's direction.

However, upon closer inspection, the old man realized that Qin Hao's figure had disappeared. Just as he was surprised, he felt a chill attacking him from above. Before he could even raise his head to see what was happening, a familiar voice came from above.

"Hey! Old man, where are you looking! I'm right above you!"

At this moment, Qin Hao had appeared above the old man, his right hand already in a charging posture.

"Damn it!"

Before the old man could react, Qin Hao's heavy punch landed squarely on his back. A shocking muffled explosion sounded, and the old man was directly blasted deep into the ground.

A shockwave even more powerful than before swept through the area, further expanding the affected zone of the County Town's houses.

Seeing that his strike had landed, Qin Hao leaped back and stood quietly not far away, watching the smoke-filled pit. He just watched quietly.

Qin Hao knew that his punch wasn't enough to kill him.

After a while, the dust and smoke slowly dispersed, revealing a deep pit dozens of meters deep. A blue figure lay motionless in the pit.

Qin Hao didn't rush to finish him off, but was waiting for something.

Just then, the old man in the pit began to move. As expected, the old man was not dead and slowly stood up.

Now, his entire body was covered in blue blood. His back, kicked by Qin Hao and then hit by another heavy punch, was already a bloody mess, unbearable to look at.

The old man slowly raised his head, searching for Qin Hao's figure. He scanned the surroundings and finally found Qin Hao.

Qin Hao was standing at the edge of the pit, arms crossed, a slight smile on his lips as he looked at him. This sight infuriated the old man, but now that he was severely injured, he didn't dare to act rashly.

He simply couldn't believe that this young man in front of him was so strong, completely defying logic.

"How about it, old man, was my punch comfortable? Hahahaha." Qin Hao rubbed his right fist and then looked at the old man provocatively.

The old man no longer showed the anger he usually did. Instead, he quietly squatted on the ground, recovering from his injuries.

He knew that everything he was doing now was futile. He could only wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"I admit, I am no match for you! Let me go, and I'll give you the cultivation techniques from the Immortal City."

"This way, your strength can improve faster."

Knowing he was no match for Qin Hao, the ghost cultivator old man tried to negotiate.

However, Qin Hao had no interest at all. Cultivating this kind of ghost tribe technique made one neither human nor ghost. How would he find a wife in the future?

Moreover, Qin Hao knew that the old man in front of him was stalling for time. He had already noticed the old man releasing a small ghost to report back while dodging his claw attack.

He wondered if, just as ghostly creatures could gain attribute points, ghost cultivators who practiced ghost tribe techniques could also provide him with attribute points. That was why he hadn't killed the old man immediately, but was waiting for other ghost cultivators to arrive.

If the old man died, other ghost cultivators might not come. If he could indeed gain attribute points, he would be losing out greatly.

Even if he couldn't gain any, he could eliminate a menace for the people, killing two birds with one stone.

As for whether he could win, he had already considered it. Now, no matter how many Nascent Soul stage ghost cultivators came, he could escape using his formidable defense and recovery abilities. Plus, he had the boost from his bloodline, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Qin Hao estimated that his physical body could withstand even attacks from Deity Transformation stage cultivators without dying.

"Hmph! Stop pretending. Aren't I just waiting for your reinforcements?"

"I'll give you the chance," Qin Hao said playfully at this moment.

Hearing that Qin Hao knew his intention, the old man's face darkened again as he looked at Qin Hao and said, "Then aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Kid, I haven't been afraid of anything since I started practicing martial arts."

"I'm just not having enough fun fighting you, that's why I'm waiting for you. Otherwise, do you think this old geezer could have lived this long? Hahaha."

Qin Hao slightly raised his head, looking down at the old man, fully displaying his arrogant demeanor.
