Qin Hao looked at the delicate and enchanting beauty in his arms, her sweet smile plucking fiercely at the softest strings of his heart.
He absolutely loved her like this. He loved how she shed all her halos to be a little woman just for him. A fervent and boundless desire to protect her surged from the depths of Qin Hao's heart.
Qin Hao looked at the approaching streams of light in the sky, a cold gleam bursting from his eyes:
Hmph, today, let alone you random dogs and cats, even if the Heavenly King himself came, don't even think about touching a single hair on my Ruyan's head.
Before long, the cultivators who had rushed over after hearing the commotion completely surrounded Qin Hao and Liu Ruyan.
The commotion of that heaven and earth treasure came from here just now. These two must have gotten their hands on it first!
That earth-shattering nine-colored pillar of light and the phenomenon from earlier must be the birth of an incredible treasure. We cannot let them leave.
One Nascent Soul and one Soul Formation cultivator, nothing to fear. You two, such a supreme treasure is not something you can possess. Hand over the treasure, and we will spare your lives.
The crowd grew restless as various greedy and malicious gazes swept over Qin Hao and Liu Ruyan. Among them, three Void Refinement realm cultivators stepped forward first, their powerful oppressive auras pressing down on the couple in an attempt to force them into submission.
Qin Hao opened his hands. In one hand was the Soul Devouring Banner, and in the other was the Nine-Turn Linglong Pagoda:
Treasure? That was just my wife undergoing her heavenly tribulation here. Retreat immediately, and I can still spare your lives.
Hearing this, a burly man among the three Void Refinement cultivators sneered, Heh, kid, do you think we haven't undergone tribulations before? Can a tribulation cause reincarnation phenomena and heavenly nectar? It's clearly the birth of a rare treasure!
Besides, a mere Soul Formation cultivator like you dares to threaten three Void Refinement experts? Where do you get the nerve?
A sinister old man scoffed, Big guy, why waste words with him? This kid is covered in treasures! The oppressive aura radiating from the small pagoda and soul banner in his hands makes my heart pound even from this distance. They must be extraordinary treasures!
Saying this, the sinister old man licked his lips. And that little Nascent Soul girl, she's quite beautiful and has a solid foundation. If I harvest her essence, it will definitely help me break through.
The sinister old man's lecherous gaze and explicit words were like the final spark igniting a powder keg, instantly detonating the pent-up anger and killing intent in Qin Hao's heart.
Old geezer, you dare to covet my woman?
You are courting death!
Qin Hao shouted explosively, his peak Soul Formation spiritual energy surging outward from him like a tsunami.
In an instant, the cultivators with lower cultivation bases were directly blown away. Only the three Void Refinement cultivators remained standing, though their expressions drastically changed.
This kid... is only at the peak of Soul Formation, yet his spiritual energy is so majestic and pure!
It is not just pure! It also contains the aura of the Great Dao. This is no longer something an ordinary Soul Formation cultivator can possess!
To their shock, the three grand Void Refinement cultivators realized that when they tried to use their spiritual energy to counter Qin Hao, not only did they fail to suppress him, but they also bounced back as if they had hit a wall of iron and bronze!
How could this be the spiritual energy of a Soul Formation cultivator? Its vigor and condensed quality were far superior to even theirs as Void Refinement cultivators.
Taking advantage of their momentary daze, Qin Hao injected his spiritual energy into the Soul Devouring Banner.
In the next second, the Soul Devouring Banner suddenly enlarged. A thousand-meter-long banner swelled furiously against the wind, and the thousands of ghost faces on the banner let out agonizing shrieks simultaneously.
An extremely dense aura of death and evil shot into the sky, instantly obscuring half the heavens. Countless blood-red soul threads shot out with impeccable precision toward everyone present, like life-claiming vipers from hell.
Wh-what is this! Such dense death aura! Damn it! What the hell is this thing!
Run, run away quickly!
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Soul Devouring Banner, the cultivators who had wanted to murder and rob just a second ago immediately put on a grand face-changing performance for Qin Hao.
At this moment, how could they still have any thoughts of snatching treasures? They only had one thought in their minds: to flee, as fast and as far as possible.
However, in front of an Emperor Weapon like the Soul Devouring Banner, how could they escape? The cultivators below the Void Refinement realm did not even have the chance to resist. Their souls were directly extracted by the Soul Devouring Banner, ultimately becoming one of the many ghost faces on its surface.
Only the three Void Refinement cultivators were still struggling bitterly.
After witnessing Qin Hao's methods, they were truly terrified. The three regretted it to death; had they known this Soul Formation kid was so strong, why would they have come?
To survive, the three even expressed their willingness to open their divine senses and let Qin Hao plant a soul brand inside. As long as the soul brand was planted, they would become Qin Hao's most loyal servants.
Carrying the Nine Tribulations Sword, Qin Hao walked up to the three who were resisting the soul-summoning of the Soul Devouring Banner with all their might.
Absolute Beginning Sword!
With a swing of the sword, the bodies of the burly man and the old woman were annihilated. Their divine souls tried to flee, but the Soul Devouring Banner had already locked onto them. Without the support of their physical bodies, their divine souls were forcefully dragged into the Soul Devouring Banner, adding two more ghost faces to its surface.
After dealing with the two, Qin Hao turned to look at the sinister old man who had spoken disrespectfully to Liu Ruyan just now.
Looking at the dual pupils spinning in Qin Hao's eyes, the sinister old man trembled all over. Dual pupils! This person was actually an awakened possessor of dual pupils, a legendary born saint!
No wonder. No wonder he possessed such power even at the Soul Formation realm.
My Lord, I was wrong. I beg you, spare my life! I am willing to offer up all my treasures and work like a horse and ox for you for the rest of my life.
Hearing this, Qin Hao revealed a smile:
Do not worry, I will not kill you.
Seeing Qin Hao like this, the sinister old man felt a surge of joy in his heart, thinking that Qin Hao was going to let him go. But in the next second, Qin Hao's words made him completely break down.
But I will make you wish you were dead. Nine-Turn Linglong Pagoda, Soul Refinement!
The Nine-Turn Linglong Pagoda in Qin Hao's hand suddenly burst with radiant brilliance. Nine-colored divine light flowed as the pagoda grew against the wind, finally transforming into a massive nine-turn pagoda that covered the surroundings, completely enveloping the sinister old man within.
The second floor of the pagoda emitted the words Soul Refinement, booming like an immemorial divine bell, shaking the sinister old man until his divine soul felt like it was splitting apart.
Following that, he felt his soul being peeled away and crushed inch by inch, and he let out agonizing, shrill wails from inside the pagoda.
After doing all this, Qin Hao put away the Nine-Turn Linglong Pagoda. As for that old man, his divine soul would be crushed bit by bit by the pagoda until it completely dissipated.
Husband!
Just as Qin Hao finished dealing with these people, a call as clear as a bell, filled with undisguised joy, rang out. Liu Ruyan, like a fluttering butterfly, threw herself lightly in front of Qin Hao.
The flies have all been dealt with. Let us do something we love doing.
Hearing this, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth could not help but twitch. No way, it has been a whole month straight, and she wants to go again?
