Yan Yu gave Qin Hao a long, searching look. "Junior Brother Qin, you're quite strong."
Qin Hao shook his head. "I still let my guard down."
To be fair, the Outer Realm Demon Spirit's strength had indeed exceeded Qin Hao's expectations.
His own strength rivaled that of a Heaven and Earth True God at perfection, yet that Outer Realm Demon Spirit had actually sent him flying.
Even Tu Wufeng had been unable to do that.
And Tu Wufeng's divine body strength had already reached the Half-Step Eternal True God level.
That had even been before Qin Hao's physical strength had made its breakthrough.
At Qin Hao's words, Yan Yu's pupils contracted slightly. He nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Regardless, you saved Jiang Cheng just now. Qin Hao, I owe you a favor for this."
"If Yu and I had been more careful, perhaps those three Outer Realm Demon Spirits wouldn't have caught us by surprise." Wu Yan rarely spoke, but now she sounded somewhat reproachful of her own performance.
Indeed.
They were both Eternal True Gods. Had they remained alert and paid closer attention, they could have avoided that crisis entirely, or at least kept Qin Hao and Jiang Cheng from falling into such peril.
"You're a true brother. I knew I wasn't wrong about you! Heh, if you ever need my help, just say the word." Jiang Cheng was far more easygoing. He never even considered how completely Qin Hao's performance just now contradicted the cultivation he displayed.
In truth, it wasn't that Jiang Cheng hadn't thought about it. Rather, he felt that if Qin Hao really were so powerful, then...
He wouldn't have been blasted away by that Outer Realm Demon Spirit. He would have cleaved it to death with a single stroke instead.
But Jiang Cheng didn't know.
