The Title Girl Ran Away from Home (3/5)

This punch dominated heaven and earth, carrying an unstoppable momentum that soared straight into the sky. His white robes fluttered fiercely, and the battle intent radiating from him surged like an ocean, as though it would shatter the heavens.

Battle Saint Method!

Crack!

Ji Hao's fist seal pierced through the giant palm, directly breaking one of the middle-aged man's arms.

"You're courting death!"

The middle-aged man roared. The fierce winds around him suddenly surged, whipping his robes into the air. He brought his hands together, and a true dragon ten li long emerged from his palms, gleaming with golden light and letting out a soul-chilling roar.

This was a Life-Slaying Great Art evolved from Imperial Dragon Aura. The imposing middle-aged man was clearly from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ji Hao's expression was cold. His Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes shone with brilliant divine light as he leaped up with all his strength and formed a great seal.

In an instant, heaven and earth overturned, and the stars shifted.

Heaven-Flipping Seal!

In that instant, the sun, moon, and stars changed positions. Heaven sank below, earth rose above, and everything was reversed as the world turned upside down.

The ancient seal collided with the dragon aura, erupting into a violent storm that swept through heaven and earth and shattered the surrounding trees.

When the shockwave reached Ji Hao, it was blocked by a flicker of firelight.

Clusters of fiery clouds appeared. Behind Ji Hao stood a divine tree reaching into the heavens, every leaf seemingly forged from Dao Tribulation Gold and radiating dazzling divine light.

A blazing sun rose from the divine tree, blooming with resplendent brilliance!

Golden Crow Rising from Fusang!

Terrifying heat poured from the blazing sun. Strands of Solar True Fire vaporized everything they touched.

Ji Hao stepped forward. "Come at me together. You're just a few Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators, after all."

"Oh? You don't even take this old man seriously?" the Immortal Platform elder of the Ten Thousand Beginning Sacred Land sneered.

The divine power of a Half-Step Great Ability bore down on Ji Hao, making the surrounding space creak.

Ji Hao silently drew out a gourd overflowing with chaotic energy. "Should I?"

As he poured divine power into it, strands of Saint might suppressed the elder of the Ten Thousand Beginning Sacred Land until he could not move.

Then, the Chaos Gourd spat out a river of stars from its mouth and directly beheaded him.

As soon as the might of the Saint Weapon emerged, its ultimate power caused the earth to sink and the stars to tremble.

Bloodlight reflected on the faces of the other two, and their expressions immediately stiffened.

"I am a man of the Great Xia Dynasty. You dare lay a hand on me?!"

The once-majestic middle-aged man wore an expression as though he had seen a ghost. He clearly had not expected Ji Hao to possess a Perfect Saint Weapon.

"Don't worry. I won't need a Saint Weapon to deal with you." Ji Hao rolled his wrist.

"Come. I'll personally send you on your way."

With a wave of his hand, the blazing sun soared forth. Its scorching divine light crushed everything in its path, burning the first old man to appear into ashes.

He had only been a Dragon Transformation Sixth Heaven cultivator to begin with. With age and frailty, his cultivation had fallen to Dragon Transformation Second Heaven. There was nothing strange about him being killed in one move.

"You're the only one left. I hope you can entertain me a little!" Ji Hao stood upright as flames around him transformed into rings of light behind his back.

He resembled a fire god who had walked from the Primordial Era into the present.

With a raised hand, divine power transformed into an Emperor Script and merged into the blazing sun. In an instant, Solar True Fire became a flowing ribbon of flame that shot straight toward the Great Xia imperial uncle.

Unlike that aged and frail old man, the Great Xia imperial uncle was at the peak of his strength. His cultivation was also at Dragon Transformation Sixth Heaven, but his combat power was far beyond that man's.

The moment he attacked, nine divine dragons lunged at Ji Hao.

They somewhat resembled Imperial Dragon Aura. After all, Imperial Dragon Aura was the foundation of the Taihuang Scripture. It was a divine art comparable to Nine Secrets: Dou, not something just anyone could learn or master.

Boom!

Ji Hao did not use the Void Secret Technique he was best at. Instead, he activated the Battle Saint Method, continuously evolving all kinds of lethal secret arts and striking at the Great Xia imperial uncle.

It was as though a divine dragon roared within the Great Xia imperial uncle's spine. Streams of dragon aura transformed into sword beams—three thousand in all—forming a river that was both dragon aura and sword light.

Rumble!

They filled the sky in dense swarms. One sword beam accidentally struck the ground, leaving behind a massive crater.

Ji Hao stood still and used the Taiji Seal. A yin-yang fish coiled around each of his arms. Following his movements, a flawless Tai Chi Diagram formed before him, successfully blocking the sword beams.

"Little brat, if I can't deal with an Emperor Weapon Projection, can I not deal with you?"

Ji Hao raised both hands and pushed forward.

The Tai Chi Diagram slowly turned. Though it did not look particularly impressive, it was nearly indestructible and capable of breaking anything.

Every technique unleashed by the Great Xia imperial uncle was either ground away or devoured by the Tai Chi Diagram.

A trembling sound rang out. The Tai Chi Diagram seemed to descend like the sky itself, emitting a soft vibration. In the Great Xia imperial uncle's hand appeared a turtle shell inscribed with all kinds of complex symbols, flowing with the aura of a Great Ability.

It was clearly a Great Ability Artifact. Though Great Xia imperial uncles were not worth much, their family was simply too wealthy. They probably counted Great Ability Artifacts by the warehouse.

No one knew how much wealth these Desolate Ancient Era clans, with their long and ancient lineages, had accumulated since antiquity.

Ji Hao could not help sighing. "Damn feudal clans!"

"What? I'm one of them too, and at the ancestor level, no less. Never mind, then."

The Great Xia imperial uncle retreated at high speed. Just now, he had activated the life-saving artifact left to him by the former Great Xia Emperor, barely blocking that fatal strike. However, his face was pale and bloodless. Though he had not died and had blocked the Tai Chi Diagram, a hidden force had passed through the turtle shell and shaken his blood and qi into instability.

"No, no, no! You can't kill me! My father is the former Great Xia Emperor!"

Before he could finish, Ji Hao threw another punch. There was no phenomenon, only an utterly ordinary punch that fused essence, qi, and spirit into one. It struck the turtle shell and pierced through it in a single blow.

"There's no difference between that and saying my dad is Li Gang. They're both the same." Ji Hao still had the leisure to mock him.

"Even my Mystic Armor was shattered..."

The Great Xia imperial uncle staggered back, staring blankly at the Mystic Armor in his hand. It had already been completely shattered, split into countless fragments.

This Mystic Armor had been refined by his father. It was unquestionably a Saint Lord-grade Divine Weapon, with defense said to be unmatched in the world. Even weapons of the same Saint Lord grade could do nothing to it, yet it had cracked apart just like that.

He looked at the young man before him, and a chill rose within his heart. He was in the Dragon Transformation Realm, yet he had been defeated by someone of a lower realm, with several realms between them. Could this be a young Great Emperor?

"Enough. It's time to send you on your way!" Ji Hao said coldly.

He raised his hand, compressing the phenomenon into a single mass that became an incomparably brilliant sun. The power of the sun seemed capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas. His right hand slowly rose, and a dark Nether Moon appeared, its Lunar Body power seemingly capable of freezing everything.

He brought his hands together and formed the Taiji Seal. A flawless Tai Chi Diagram appeared once more, far more perfected than when he had first developed it in response to the Heavenly Tribulation.

Taiji Seal!
