Hundreds of spears blotted out the sun, all aid at Marquis Mo, causing his face to pale.
Each of these spears contained imnse power, far beyond what any ordinary soldier could wield.
’They’re dead set on taking my life.’
The corner of Marquis Mo’s mouth twitched, his hatred for Lin Hao driving him to the brink of madness.
The words of these madn had just made Marquis Mo understand what was going on—he had been frad by Lin Hao.
He swore to the heavens, the technique he had just demonstrated was no quasi-emperor inheritance, and he had never even heard of any Ten Thousand Blood Demon Emperor.
But this was no ti to dwell on that. The priority was to retreat.
Faced with hundreds of fanatics who fought with no regard for their lives, he wouldn’t dare to take them head-on—not at his Soul Gathering Realm First Layer, and not even if his cultivation were several layers higher.
’A single ant is weak, but a colony can bring down an elephant. I have no desire to be that elephant.’
The mont Marquis Mo retreated, the spot where he had just been standing was riddled with spears, turning it into a hornet’s nest.
The roaring was endless, rubble flew everywhere, and the spears quivered.
"Nowhere to run! Hand over the quasi-emperor inheritance!" The person who had just spoken was the first to arrive. Roaring, he pulled out a spear and hurled it at Marquis Mo once more.
The others arrived and did the sa.
Marquis Mo noticed that they were even more excited now, and the power behind their spears was even greater than before.
"Hahaha, I broke through! The quasi-emperor inheritance must be on him!" soone laughed maniacally.
Marquis Mo stumbled, so frustrated he felt like spitting blood.
He realized that the speaker was the sa man who had charged forward first, and he wasn’t lying. His cultivation had advanced from the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Elental Realm to the Eighth Layer.
But Marquis Mo knew it had nothing to do with him. The man had been suppressing his cultivation all along; breaking through to the Eighth Layer was only a matter of thought for him.
Just because Marquis Mo could see it didn’t an others could.
And sure enough, the hundreds of people from the Saint Institute grew even more excited when they heard this.
"Senior Brother Ling Xiao broke through! The quasi-emperor inheritance is definitely on him! Heavens, an inheritance that can help a Martial Artist break through before it’s even fully revealed? That’s insane!" soone shouted in excitent.
"I broke through too!" another person in the crowd shouted.
This person was Yang Peng, and his cultivation had also advanced, from the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Elental Realm to the Fifth Layer.
Like Ling Xiao, he could have broken through long ago but had been suppressing his cultivation on Lin Hao’s orders.
PFFT!
Hearing this, a sweet taste rose in Marquis Mo’s throat, and he nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood for real.
In that instant, Marquis Mo beca a delectable prize in everyone’s eyes. Countless people stared at him, wishing they could devour him whole.
Just then, Marquis Mo let out a great shout, and a horn blast sounded.
Imdiately, several giants headed their way to rescue Marquis Mo from his plight.
The giants were massive but surprisingly agile. They crouched, then soared into the sky. When they landed, several people who couldn’t dodge in ti were crushed into paste.
The giants ford a barrier, instantly splitting the crowd of hundreds into several segnts.
BOOM!
A giant attacked Lin Hao, but Lin Hao dodged it.
As a result, the fist slamd directly into the ground. The earth instantly cracked, and fissures spread in all directions.
But Lin Hao paid the giant no mind. He even ignored Marquis Mo. His eyes were fixed on only one person—the figure high above.
That figure was Yunxi.
Although Yunxi’s face was hidden by a mask and Lin Hao didn’t know her identity, he wanted to capture her.
Because Lin Hao had an intuition that the woman’s status in the Mo Yun Kingdom was likely even higher than Marquis Mo’s.
However, Lin Hao didn’t dare to act rashly, because he couldn’t see through the woman’s true abilities.
"Could she be another Royal Physique?" Lin Hao muttered to himself, and then his eyes lit up.
In the next mont, Lin Hao’s eyes glowed as the sun and moon materialized in his pupils before they returned to normal.
But when Lin Hao looked at Yunxi again, he could see her cultivation level clearly.
’Ninth Layer of the Elental Realm!’
This discovery excited Lin Hao.
’Her cultivation is only at the Ninth Layer of the Elental Realm. Even if she truly has a Royal Physique, I’m not afraid.’
’Forget a Royal Physique; even if she had an Imperial Physique, I’d dare to fight her—and I’d be confident of victory!’
Just then, the giant attacked Lin Hao again.
This ti, Lin Hao didn’t dodge. Instead, he leaped up and threw a punch!
BOOM!
As their fists t, Lin Hao’s body shot away like a kite with a broken string—directly toward Yunxi’s position.
As he flew backward, Lin Hao suddenly accelerated, his figure becoming a blur that the naked eye couldn’t follow.
"You dare!" Below, Marquis Mo realized Lin Hao’s intention and was scared out of his wits. He wanted to intervene and rescue her, but he was tied down by several people.
Like a great roc, Lin Hao swooped toward Yunxi, his hand outstretched.
’Capturing this woman will surely make the Mo Yun Kingdom think twice.’
Just then, Lin Hao saw the young woman in the exquisite mask look up at him, her beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion.
Without any warning, Lin Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He sensed danger.
His body paused in mid-air as Lin Hao abruptly stopped his attack.
The mont he stopped, a miniature blood leopard suddenly appeared in the void.
The blood leopard was only about a ter long, but with a single swipe of its claws through the air, several deep gouges appeared in the ground below, and so Martial Artists were even sliced into pieces.
This miniature blood leopard’s combat power was astonishing.
Lin Hao hovered in the air, his expression extrely grim as he muttered, "Another one of the Twenty-Four Royal Physiques, and she’s even awakened her Lifebound Summoning Skill!"
Among the Twenty-Four Royal Physiques, there is one called the Beast Tar Royal Physique.
It is said that people with this physique possess a Life Secret Skill called the Summoning Skill.
The na is deceptively simple, but the fact that it’s called a Secret Skill is enough to prove its power.
After all, very few among the Twenty-Four Royal Physiques—let alone the Twelve Imperial Physiques—possessed a Life Secret Skill.
Emperor Hongtian himself possessed one of the Twenty-Four Royal Physiques, and his Life Secret Skill, which awakened in the Soul Gathering Realm, eventually beca an Emperor-level skill.
This young woman’s cultivation was still at the Ninth Layer of the Elental Realm, yet she had already awakened her Life Secret Skill. It was hard for Lin Hao not to be shocked.
’No wonder the giant tiger and the Demon Wolf mutated. It was all her doing.’
Looking into the distance, he saw mountain peaks collapsing one after another. Duan Mushuang still hadn’t managed to escape.
In that instant, the young woman’s threat level rose several notches in Lin Hao’s mind.
Gazing at the blood leopard in the void, which was eyeing him like prey, the thought of retreat began to sprout in Lin Hao’s mind.
’That blood leopard’s strength is definitely greater than Marquis Mo’s!’
’Capturing her will be even harder than capturing Marquis Mo.’
But just then, Lin Hao noticed sothing: beneath the young woman’s exquisite mask, her small, crimson lips twitched slightly.
The movent was extrely faint, but Lin Hao caught it.
After a mont of surprise, Lin Hao’s eyes widened in realization.
’Summoning skills are incredibly draining. The blood leopard she just summoned probably pushed her past her limits. She must have been forced to do it to intimidate .’
The more he thought about it, the more likely this possibility seed. Lin Hao decided to strike!
