Boom!
With a wave of Piao Nanzi's hand, a pitch-black mountain immediately appeared.
The mountain was only palm-sized when it first appeared, but it swelled in the wind. In an instant, it transformed into a massive immortal peak and crashed down toward the Hengyue Sect.
Buzz!
A curtain of light appeared, like an inverted bowl, protecting the Hengyue Sect within and blocking the attack.
"As expected of the Great Sect of the Azure Heavens of the Zhao Kingdom. You actually blocked Old Man's attack!"
Piao Nanzi's face showed disdain as he said, "However, Old Man would like to see how many attacks your formation can withstand without a Nascent Soul Expert guarding it!"
As he spoke, he formed a hand seal and pointed fiercely at the Giant Mountain. The Giant Mountain immediately spun and descended once more.
"All elders and disciples, heed my command! Resist with everything you have!"
Liu Wenju shouted violently, flying onto a White Jade Lotus Seat and beginning to preside over the grand formation.
At the same time, the Core Formation old woman and the other Foundation Establishment elders each sat upon a White Jade Lotus Seat, pouring all their spiritual energy into it.
The Qi Condensation Stage disciples also all sat cross-legged.
Although they greatly outnumbered Piao Nanzi, he was alone, but the gap in cultivation was simply too vast.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Crack!
After three more successive collisions, the light curtain formed by the formation finally could no longer endure and shattered.
Pfft! Pfft!
The Cultivators presiding over the formation all spat blood. Some directly fainted.
Even the two Core Formation Cultivators looked utterly drained.
"Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul Expert?"
Wang Lin stared blankly at Piao Nanzi, his inner heart filled with incomparable shock.
"A Nascent Soul is worth jack shit. Back then, one spit from me could drown a whole bunch of them!"
Situ Nan's words were full of deep disdain.
Wang Lin muttered, "A hero does not brag about past glory. Can you still beat a Nascent Soul now?"
"If I hadn't been ambushed by several Outer Domain Cultivators..."
Situ Nan began to explain.
Liu Wenju forced himself to stand and cupped his hands. "Senior Piao Nanzi, the Hengyue Sect and Xuandao Sect have always been on good terms. Are you truly going to wipe us out completely?"
"It is precisely for the sake of the friendship between our two sects that Old Man is only telling you to leave instead of exterminating your entire sect!"
Piao Nanzi snorted coldly and said impatiently, "Within three breaths, leave Hengyue Peak at once. You are not allowed to take anything with you. Otherwise, Old Man would not mind slaughtering every last one of you!"
"Senior, you..."
Liu Wenju still wanted to speak.
Piao Nanzi waved his sleeve, releasing a vast force. Liu Wenju was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string, vomiting blood.
Sigh!
Among the crowd, Qin Hao sighed and thought, No matter what, I'm still a disciple of the Hengyue Sect. I should lend them a hand.
He stepped forward, standing with his hands behind his back, and ordered Piao Nanzi, "Piao Nanzi, right? This Seat will also give you three breaths!"
"If you do not leave this place within three breaths, then leave your life behind today!"
Uproar!
As soon as those words were spoken, the entire scene erupted.
Everyone turned their gazes toward Qin Hao.
Some who knew Qin Hao immediately took him for a madman.
Only Wang Lin and Dao Xu, who knew the truth, breathed sighs of relief.
"Hm?"
Piao Nanzi frowned and looked at Qin Hao. In an instant, he saw that Qin Hao was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"This friend!"
Piao Nanzi asked, "Are you truly going to oppose Old Man for the Hengyue Sect?"
Qin Hao ignored him and instead said, "One breath!"
"You arrogant fool! Old Man would like to see how you plan to kill Old Man!"
Piao Nanzi immediately formed hand seals with both hands and pointed at Qin Hao.
He was a peak Nascent Soul mid-stage Cultivator who had experienced five hundred years of slaughter on the Outer Realm Battlefield.
Even against a late Nascent Soul stage Cultivator, he had the strength to fight. Naturally, he was unwilling to be frightened away by some nameless nobody.
Boom!
In an instant, the giant peak collided several times more, growing ever larger as it suppressed Qin Hao.
The moment its towering spiritual pressure appeared, every Hengyue Sect Cultivator felt as though a mountain rested upon them. They collapsed to the ground, unable to move in the slightest.
Because of Qin Hao's appearance, Piao Nanzi no longer intended to spare any Hengyue Sect Cultivators. He planned to kill them all.
In response.
Qin Hao suddenly took a step forward.
A spiritual pressure that likewise belonged to the Nascent Soul mid-stage abruptly surged from his body.
Recently, after refining his pills, Qin Hao had been cultivating within the Chaos Bead. His cultivation had also advanced from Early Nascent Soul to the Nascent Soul mid-stage.
The moment his spiritual pressure appeared, it neutralized Piao Nanzi's pressure.
The Hengyue Sect Cultivators finally regained their ability to move.
"Go!"
Qin Hao slapped his storage bag, and the ancient Wooden Sword abruptly flew out, transforming into a flowing light and shooting straight toward the incoming Giant Mountain.
Terrifying Sword Light continuously emerged from the ancient Wooden Sword, shredding the clouds that filled the sky. It was like a heavenly river pouring down from the nine heavens, illuminating heaven and earth.
"Break for me!"
With Qin Hao's furious shout, the seemingly fragile Wooden Sword actually pierced straight through the Giant Mountain.
Ocean-like sword radiance surged wildly forth, carrying a power capable of decaying all things as it forcibly shattered and annihilated the Giant Mountain.
Pfft!
His magic treasure destroyed, Piao Nanzi suffered the backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Old Man's magic treasure!"
Looking at the Giant Mountain reduced to powder, Piao Nanzi's heart bled.
On the Outer Realm Battlefield, he had destroyed many magic treasures. This was already the last Nascent Soul stage magic treasure on his person.
Then he looked warily at the Flying Sword in the air and thought, What rank is this magic treasure? It shattered Old Man's magic treasure so easily. Could it be a Spirit Transformation stage magic treasure?
Thinking this, Piao Nanzi hurriedly cupped his hands toward Qin Hao. "Friend, I failed to recognize your greatness just now. I will leave at once!"
"The three breaths have passed. You want to leave now? Too late!"
With a thought from Qin Hao, the Wooden Sword once again transformed into a flowing light and flew directly toward 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 prepared to use the innate ability of a Nascent Soul Cultivator—teleportation—to evade the strike.
However.
When the ripples of time enveloped Piao Nanzi, he discovered in terror that his teleportation seemed to have been disrupted and restrained. He could no longer use it.
At the same time, Piao Nanzi discovered that the life force within his body was rapidly draining away, and his appearance was growing increasingly aged.
"Friend, spare..."
Still reeling in shock, Piao Nanzi immediately tried to beg for mercy.
Pfft!
However, before he could finish speaking, the Wooden Sword had already pierced through his head.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Qin Hao had already teleported before Piao Nanzi.
With a grasp of his right hand through the air, he dug the Nascent Soul out from Piao Nanzi's abdomen.
"Senior, spare my life!"
Piao Nanzi's Nascent Soul immediately began begging for mercy.
His inner heart was filled with boundless regret. Had he known this fellow was so monstrous, he would never have provoked him.
"Silence!"
Qin Hao snorted coldly, directly sealing Piao Nanzi's Nascent Soul and taking it away.
A Cultivator's Nascent Soul was also a treasure. It could help someone achieve Core Formation, or be placed within a soul banner to become its primary soul.
