Qin Hao Acts; Kills Piao Nanzi

"Boom!"

Piao Nanzi waved his large hand, and a pitch-black mountain peak instantly appeared.

The mountain was only the size of a palm when it first emerged, but it grew rapidly in the wind, transforming in an instant into a massive immortal peak that crashed down toward the Hengyue Sect.

"Hum!"

A curtain of light appeared, resembling an inverted bowl that shielded the Hengyue Sect within, blocking the strike.

"As expected of a Great Sect of the Azure Heavens in the Zhao Kingdom; you actually managed to block a strike from this Old Man!"

Piao Nanzi's face revealed a look of disdain as he said, "However, I would like to see how many more attacks your formation can withstand without a Nascent Soul Expert presiding over it!"

As he spoke, he formed hand seals and pointed sharply at the Giant Mountain, which immediately began to rotate and descend once more.

"All Elders and disciples, hear my command: resist with all your might!"

Liu Wenju roared, flying down to land on a White Jade Lotus Seat to begin presiding over the grand formation.

At the same time, the Core Formation Elder and other Foundation Establishment Elders sat upon their own White Jade Lotus Seats, pouring all of their spiritual power into the formation.

The disciples at the Qi Condensation Stage also sat down cross-legged.

Although they were numerous and Piao Nanzi was only one man, the gap in their cultivation levels was simply too vast.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Crack!"

After three consecutive collisions, the light curtain formed by the array could no longer hold, and it shattered.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The cultivators who had been maintaining the formation all spat out blood, with some fainting on the spot.

Even the two Core Formation Cultivators looked withered and drained.

"Is this the power of a Nascent Soul Expert?"

Wang Lin stared blankly at Piao Nanzi, his Inner Heart filled with immense shock.

"A Nascent Soul is nothing; back in my day, I could have drowned a pile of them with a single spit!"

Situ Nan's words were filled with thick disdain.

Wang Lin muttered, "A hero doesn't dwell on past glories; can you even beat a Nascent Soul now?"

"If it weren't for those few Outer Domain Cultivators..."

Situ Nan began to explain.

Liu Wenju forced himself to stand up, cupping his hands and saying, "Senior Piao Nanzi, the Hengyue Sect and the Xuandao Sect have always been on good terms. Do you truly intend to wipe us out?"

"It is precisely because of the friendship between our sects that I am only asking you to leave, rather than slaughtering your entire lineage!"

Piao Nanzi snorted coldly, his tone impatient. "Within three breaths, leave Hengyue Peak immediately. You are not to take anything with you, or else I won't mind wiping you all out!"

"Senior, you..."

Liu Wenju tried to speak again.

Piao Nanzi flicked his large sleeve, and a vast, boundless force surged forth. Liu Wenju was sent flying backward, vomiting blood like a kite with a broken string.

"Sigh!"

In the crowd, Qin Hao sighed, thinking, Regardless of everything, I am still considered a disciple of the Hengyue Sect, so I might as well lend a hand.

He stepped forward, stood with his hands behind his back, and commanded Piao Nanzi, "Piao Nanzi, is it? This Seat will also give you three breaths!"

"Within three breaths, if you do not leave this place, then leave your life behind today!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene erupted in an uproar.

Everyone turned their gazes toward Qin Hao.

Those who recognized Qin Hao immediately branded him a madman.

Only Wang Lin and Dao Xu, who knew the truth, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm?"

Piao Nanzi frowned, his gaze shifting to Qin Hao, and he instantly perceived that the other party was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Piao Nanzi asked, "Do you truly intend to oppose this Old Man for the sake of the Hengyue Sect?"

Qin Hao ignored him and began to count, "One breath!"

"Arrogant fool, I want to see how you intend to kill me!"

Piao Nanzi immediately formed hand seals and pointed at Qin Hao.

He was a peak Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator who had survived five hundred years of slaughter on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Even when facing a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, he was capable of putting up a fight, so he was naturally unwilling to be intimidated by a nameless nobody.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Giant Mountain collided once more, growing several times larger as it bore down upon Qin Hao to suppress him.

The moment that overwhelming spiritual pressure emerged, the cultivators of the Hengyue Sect all collapsed to the ground as if a mountain had been placed upon their backs, unable to move a single inch.

Because of Qin Hao's arrival, Piao Nanzi no longer intended to leave any Hengyue Sect cultivators alive; he planned to slaughter them all.

Regarding this.

Qin Hao suddenly stepped forward.

A surge of spiritual pressure, likewise belonging to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, erupted abruptly from his body.

Recently, after refining pills, Qin Hao had been cultivating within the Chaos Bead, and his cultivation had advanced from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The moment his spiritual pressure appeared, it neutralized Piao Nanzi's pressure.

The cultivators of the Hengyue Sect finally regained their ability to move.

"Go!"

Qin Hao slapped his Storage Bag, and that simple wooden sword flew out, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light as it headed straight for the incoming Giant Mountain.

On the simple wooden sword, terrifying Sword Light surged continuously, shredding the clouds in the sky as if the Milky Way were pouring down, illuminating both heaven and earth.

"Break for me!"

Following Qin Hao's roar, the wooden sword, which appeared incredibly fragile, actually pierced straight through the Giant Mountain.

Ocean-like sword radiance surged wildly, carrying a power capable of decaying all things, and forcefully shattered and annihilated the Giant Mountain.

"Puchi!"

With his Dharma treasure destroyed, Piao Nanzi suffered a backlash, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"My Dharma treasure!"

Watching the Giant Mountain turn into powder, Piao Nanzi's heart bled.

On the Outer Realm Battlefield, he had already lost many Dharma treasures, and this had been his last Nascent Soul Realm treasure.

Subsequently, he looked at the Flying Sword in the air with great trepidation, his Inner Heart pondering: "What level of treasure is this? To so easily smash my treasure to pieces—could it be a Spirit Transformation stage treasure?"

Thinking of this, Piao Nanzi hurriedly cupped his fists toward Qin Hao and said, "Fellow Daoist, I was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai just now. I shall leave at once!"

"Three breaths have passed. You want to leave now? Too late!"

With a thought from Qin Hao, the wooden sword transformed into a streak of Flowing Light once more, heading straight for Piao Nanzi.

Under his control, ripples of time began to emanate from the wooden sword.

"Not good!"

Piao Nanzi's expression changed drastically. As his body rapidly shrank, he attempted to use the innate ability of a Nascent Soul Cultivator—teleportation—to evade the strike.

However.

When those ripples of time enveloped Piao Nanzi, he discovered in horror that his teleportation seemed to be interfered with and restricted; he could no longer execute it.

At the same time, Piao Nanzi realized that his Life Force was rapidly draining away, and his face grew increasingly aged.

"Fellow Daoist, spare..."

In his shock, Piao Nanzi immediately wanted to beg for mercy.

"Pu!"

However, before he could finish his sentence, the wooden sword had already pierced through his skull.

"Sou!"

At this moment, Qin Hao had already teleported in front of Piao Nanzi.

He reached out his right hand through the air and plucked the Nascent Soul from Piao Nanzi's abdomen.

"Senior, spare my life!"

Piao Nanzi's Nascent Soul immediately began to beg for mercy.

He felt immense regret in his Inner Heart now; had he known this fellow was such a freak, he would never have provoked him.

"Noisy!"

Qin Hao snorted coldly, directly sealing Piao Nanzi's Nascent Soul and putting it away.

A cultivator's Nascent Soul was also a treasure; it could help others achieve Core Formation, or it could be taken into a soul banner to become a main soul.
