Ghost Immortal City Elder!

"Cough, cough!"

"Heh! I didn't want to, but if the kid's master finds out I abandoned him and ran, I'll be in trouble, so I have to protect him." Jiang Yin coughed up a mouthful of blood and sneered.

Jiang Yin turned to look at Bai Hu lying on the ground. If Bai Hu didn't have the backing of an elder from Ghost Immortal City, he wouldn't have blocked that attack for him.

Sensing Jiang Yin's tone, Qin Hao's deep gaze fell upon him.

He had been about to abandon everything and flee just moments ago, so why had this old man's attitude changed so drastically in just a few minutes?

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and asked Jiang Yin with a dismissive tone, "Oh? So, you're saying you have the strength to protect him from me?"

"Do you have that strength?"

Seeing Qin Hao's disdainful look, Jiang Yin's expression also turned grim. He slowly raised his head and said coldly, "Do you think I would have come back if I didn't have a backup plan?"

Hearing this, Qin Hao frowned and began to scan his surroundings.

After sweeping an area of several hundred meters, he detected no other presences.

But just as Qin Hao was stunned, a spatial rift suddenly appeared above him.

A blood-red claw, like a ghost, emerged from the rift, carrying immense pressure and slamming towards Qin Hao.

Qin Hao, also caught off guard, reacted quickly and used his arms to shield himself, but it was still too late to dodge completely.

With a muffled grunt, he was sent flying backward as if knocked over by a golden pillar, crashing straight onto the ground. A bloody taste surged into his throat.

His chest and arms were battered and bloody, but thankfully, his physical body was strong enough!

Otherwise, any other Body Refinement Martial Artist would have been killed by this single blow.

Seeing his attack succeed, an elder from Ghost Immortal City, dressed in black robes and with a withered physique, slowly emerged.

His dark eyes were fixed on Qin Hao in the pit below, a bloodthirsty smile gracing his lips.

Below, Bai Hu, who was severely injured and unable to get up, saw the figure and excitedly scrambled to his feet, shouting, "Father!"

The person who arrived was Bai Hu's father, an elder of Ghost Immortal City, Bai Tianyang. However, due to his severe injuries, he collapsed onto the ground again.

The withered elder heard Bai Hu's voice and turned to look in the direction of Jiang Yin and the others.

Seeing Bai Hu's injuries, the elder took a step forward, using the "Shrinking Ground into an Inch" technique to instantly appear beside Bai Hu.

He took out a pill from his Storage Bag and fed it to Bai Hu. As soon as it entered his mouth, Bai Hu's injuries began to recover at a visible rate.

"Father," Bai Hu said, having recovered significantly, as he got to his feet.

Seeing that Bai Hu was no longer in mortal danger, the elder looked at Jiang Yin and snorted, "Heh, Jiang Yin, did I just hear you abandoning my son and fleeing?"

The elder's gaze sent a chill down Jiang Yin's spine. This person was an elder of Ghost Immortal City, possessing peak Nascent Soul cultivation!

He was only one step away from Tribulation Transcendence.

Jiang Yin, with only mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and no significant background, could only meekly say, "Heh heh, Elder, what are you saying? Wasn't I just waiting for the right moment to offer assistance?"

"I think we should deal with this brat in front of us first," Jiang Yin said, feeling the elder's imposing aura and quickly changing the subject.

"Smart move, kid." The elder knew that Jiang Yin had only returned to save his son after sensing his arrival.

However, since Jiang Yin had ultimately acted, the elder didn't press the matter further, as he had just saved his son.

Saying this, he looked in Qin Hao's direction. The smoke had already dissipated, and a figure was slowly standing up.

Although Qin Hao was still covered in blood, the injuries on his arms and chest had completely healed.

Seeing that Qin Hao could still stand, and that his injuries had fully recovered, everyone present looked on in shock.

"How is this possible! I clearly saw Elder Bai's attack severely injure this kid!"

"How could he still be standing, and how are his injuries completely healed?" Jiang Yin stared at Qin Hao as if he had seen a ghost.

He truly couldn't believe that anyone in this world could have such a strong recovery rate.

"Yeah, this, this, how is this possible?" Bai Hu was also shocked by Qin Hao's robust recovery.

Even the elder beside him had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Qin Hao. He had initially thought that even his casual attack wouldn't kill this Body Forging brat, but at least severely injure him.

Yet, this kid was completely fine and had healed entirely within a few breaths!

He had never encountered this among the martial artists he had fought before. Could it be that this kid, at such a young age, had already achieved the Golden Body?

But that's impossible! He looked at the young man before him, who was only in his teens. It was impossible for this kid to possess a Golden Body at such an age.

Moreover, if he possessed a Golden Body, he might not even be a match for him! Thinking of this, Elder Bai mumbled, "Could it be... Bloodline power?"

The two people beside him were also unsettled by this.

"Bloodline power! Elder Bai, are you saying this kid has bloodline power?" Jiang Yin quickly asked.

He really couldn't imagine such a genius appearing in such a desolate place!

"Mm, only this can explain what happened to him." Bai Tianyang seemed to have confirmed that Qin Hao possessed bloodline power.

His gaze towards Qin Hao became a little colder. After all, there were too few people with bloodline power!

Anyone who awakens even a minor ability believes they have the qualifications to ascend to immortality. If this brat achieves immortality or becomes even stronger in the future, I'll be in danger. Thus, I intend to nip this in the bud!

Qin Hao saw the people from Ghost Immortal City injure him and then stare at him, all while babbling nonsense.

Even a hot-blooded youth couldn't stand this, so he took out the Black Fiend Hammers and charged forward, swinging the large hammers at the old man.

Seeing this, Bai Tianyang shielded the two behind him and met Qin Hao's hammer with a palm strike.

As the two collided, thunderous roars erupted in the air, and a brilliant flash of light instantly filled the surroundings.

Qin Hao was sent flying, sliding a hundred meters before stopping. The old man also retreated a few steps. Their clash kicked up dust that filled the sky.

Qin Hao stared straight ahead, looking at the old man in the distance through the dust, a troubled expression on his face. This person was definitely the strongest opponent he had ever faced. Even Gui Wuya would not be a match for this old man.

Qin Hao carefully observed the old man, realizing he was no match for him. It seemed he had to increase his own strength.

He had just killed so many ghostly creatures and ghost cultivators; he should have enough attribute points.

Then, Qin Hao checked his status panel.

Bloodline: Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline

Name: Qin Hao

Strength: Two Elephant Power [134600]

Techniques: Barbarian Bull Fist [Max], Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art Second Layer [0/20000]

Attribute Points: 6730

Bloodline: Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline [(1%)]

Items: Coiling Dragon Divine Body, Turtle Shell Art.

With over six thousand points, and the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art requiring twenty thousand, it seemed he could only upgrade the two body forging techniques in his inventory.

Qin Hao examined them closely. Both primarily increased defense, which was exactly what he needed to enhance his durability.
