Come On! Heaven-Shaking Collision!

"You dare!"

Seeing Qin Hao attacking, Bai Tianyang roared.

He hadn't expected this kid to not run, but to dare to continue attacking him. Bai Tianyang's anger flared.

"Let me show you my Ghost Claw!"

With that, he transformed into a black mist and charged at Qin Hao.

The two moved incredibly fast. The few hundred meters distance was covered in the blink of an eye. Qin Hao and Bai Tianyang's claws collided.

With a loud bang, lightning and ghost energy intertwined, clashing violently.

However, due to the vast difference in their strength, Qin Hao couldn't hold on for long. Soon, Qin Hao's figure was sent flying backward out of the black mist.

It was clear that Qin Hao had lost to Bai Tianyang in this exchange. However, Qin Hao wasn't injured. He was sent flying back a hundred meters before stopping in mid-air.

Still, his hands were left numb from the impact.

Qin Hao hovered in the air, crackling with lightning. He stared at Bai Tianyang within the black mist, realizing there was still a significant gap in their strength.

At this moment, Bai Tianyang also slowly emerged from the black mist, but there was no hint of joy on his face.

Instead, he stared intently at Qin Hao. In their previous clash, he had clearly felt Qin Hao's power significantly amplified, just as he had suspected earlier.

Most importantly, during that collision, Qin Hao hadn't been injured!

He hadn't expected Qin Hao's defense to become so strong! Bai Tianyang's expression grew even more grim.

"No way, that kid actually survived my father's Sky Splitting Claw!" Looking at the scene, Bai Hu couldn't believe his eyes!

This person had just been easily blasted by his father with a single strike and was seriously injured, though he recovered very quickly.

But that only proved Qin Hao's recovery was strong! What was going on here! He had improved his strength in such a short time that he could now contend with his father?

"Is this the amplification brought by his bloodline?"

Bai Hu muttered, linking it all to his bloodline. He truly couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Alas! What a joke. For power and longevity, I abandoned everything that made me human."

"Yet, what I gained is less than what a child can achieve in a short time. Heh, how ironic!" Jiang Yin also looked at the scene and mumbled. His pitch-black eyes showed no emotion; he just stared blankly.

The Magistrate's Office.

Just as Qin Hao and Bai Tianyang clashed, the Magistrate's Office where Ge Wenyi was located was also affected. The office was already in ruins.

Ge Wenyi braced himself, blocking the residual shockwaves from Qin Hao and Bai Tianyang's battle. His gaze was fixed on the two in the sky.

The terrifying aura and scene were earth-shattering. Just the emanating pressure made it impossible to look directly at them.

At this point, Qin Hao's battle had already leveled a fifth of Qingshi County, turning it into flat ground.

It had also affected the Magistrate's Office where Ge Wenyi was located.

"Alas! How long will it take for this Qingshi County to recover its former appearance?" Looking at the ruins not far away, Ge Wenyi was filled with worry.

"But this Qin Hao is truly extraordinary."

"He's repelled several enemies who came one after another. I really underestimated him."

Ge Wenyi had witnessed all of Qin Hao's battles. Each of the ghost cultivators who had arrived was enough to obliterate him.

Especially the old man who had just arrived. He could feel his terrifying presence from a great distance!

He speculated that his strength might have already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"I hope young Qin can hold on, otherwise, there's no hope for Qingshi County."

"Sigh..." Ge Wengong said helplessly. The Imperial Capital was in trouble, and the empire's strong cultivators had all returned to rescue it. Other than Qin Hao, he couldn't think of any other way to save Qingshi County.

"Old man, you're not that great either, hahaha. Are your claws just tickling me?" Seeing that Bai Tianyang posed no life-threatening danger to him, Qin Hao got a bit carried away and provoked him.

"Heh heh, then let me let you taste the power of my hammers!" With that, Qin Hao took out the Black Fiend Hammers, preparing to give this old geezer a good whack to loosen up his muscles.

Seeing Qin Hao's provocative words, Bai Tianyang didn't react much.

However, when Qin Hao took out the Black Fiend Hammers, he noticed a trace of ghost energy emanating from them.

Sensing this aura, Bai Tianyang recalled that a team had been sent from the Immortal City to Qingshi County some time ago to unseal a nest that had imprisoned ghosts.

The original plan of the Ghost Immortal City was to sacrifice people from several counties in the Dragon Mountain Empire to open a rift to the ghost realm.

He himself was responsible for Qingshi County and the surrounding counties. That mission's failure had led to the failed sacrifice in Qingshi County and the surrounding counties.

The number of sacrifices was insufficient, preventing the further opening of the ghost realm rift, which earned him a scolding from the elders in the Ghost Immortal City.

In a fit of anger, he had killed everyone responsible for that unsealing mission.

Seeing Qin Hao holding the Black Fiend Hammers, he guessed that this kid was the one who had disrupted their plan.

"You kid, you truly have a destiny with us. Was it you who dealt with the sealed ghosts?" Bai Tianyang said indifferently, staring at the Black Fiend Hammers.

Qin Hao, who was just about to step forward and hammer Bai Tianyang, was taken aback when Bai Tianyang suddenly spoke like this while staring at his Black Fiend Hammers.

Seeing Bai Tianyang staring at his hammer, Qin Hao finally reacted.

"Oh? Are you talking about Gui Wuya?" Qin Hao guessed that Bai Tianyang was referring to Gui Wuya, and that he might have sensed Gui Wuya's residual ghost energy on his hammer.

"Heh heh, that guy was indeed strong. It took me a lot of effort to deal with him back then." Qin Hao nodded as he spoke, acknowledging Gui Wuya's strength.

Compared to Jiang Yin and the others, he was much stronger.

Seeing Qin Hao admit that he had killed someone from the Ghost Tribe, causing his mission to fail, Bai Tianyang could no longer suppress his rage.

"Brat, you're courting death!"

Bai Tianyang, consumed by rage, charged at Qin Hao with overwhelming killing intent.

"Just in time!"

"I haven't had enough yet!"

Seeing Bai Tianyang attacking him, Qin Hao didn't dare to be careless. Knowing that Bai Tianyang was determined to kill him this time, Qin Hao began to activate his bloodline power.

Lightning erupted from Qin Hao's body, and a thunderous pillar shot straight into the sky. His entire body was filled with explosive lightning, and his speed, power, and defense received an astonishing boost.

Feeling the explosive power surge through his body, Qin Hao became even more excited.

"Hahaha, bring it on!" With that, he lifted the Black Fiend Hammers and charged straight at Bai Tianyang.

The two figures rapidly closed in amidst the lightning. Immediately after, a thunderous roar tore through the sky.

It was a clash of brute force and power, a collision between a martial artist and a ghost cultivator.

The two powerful forces violently collided in the air, emitting a dazzling flash of light, as if a small sun was exploding.

It was a battle that shook the heavens and the earth.

Qin Hao swung his lightning hammer, each strike carrying immense power and roaring thunder.

Meanwhile, Bai Tianyang unleashed his profound killing intent, a cold, dark, and destructive force.

The collision of killing intent and lightning generated a powerful shockwave that instantly destroyed the surrounding buildings, causing the entire county town to tremble.

The aftershocks spread, terrifying to the extreme.

The residents who had fled outside the county town shivered in fear, having never witnessed such a terrifying battle before.
