If you keep silent, I'll take it as your consent.

Qin Hao looked down at the dragon claw clamped onto his chest, then raised his head to look at Jiang Yichen, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Three moves have passed. Now, it's my turn!"

Jiang Yichen's entire body trembled, unable to conceal the panic in his eyes any longer.

He abruptly retracted his dragon claw and staggered back a few steps.

"Hold on! I'm not fighting anymore."

The oppressive aura Qin Hao gave Jiang Yichen was simply too strong. He had used every trick in the book, yet he couldn't even break through the other party's physical defenses. What was the point of continuing this fight?

Fighting on would only be bringing contempt upon himself, so he simply conceded.

"I lost! Brother, I was blind to not recognize Mount Tai. Speaking of which, there is no enmity or grudge between us; I was just acting out of impulse. Let's let bygones be bygones, and consider it as I, Jiang Yichen, owing you a favor."

"If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word. As long as it's within my power, I will help."

After witnessing Qin Hao's strength, Jiang Yichen developed the thought of befriending him. Such a peerless genius could not be made an enemy; he could only be befriended and curried favor with.

Having said that, Jiang Yichen bowed to Qin Hao, then turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Hao was amused. What, you unleash a barrage of attacks, and then you just want to run away after you're done? How could there be such an easy way out in this world?

Just as Jiang Yichen took a single step, Qin Hao's voice rang out, carrying an unquestionable coercion.

"Halt right there!"

Jiang Yichen's footsteps froze in place. He slowly turned around, squeezing out a smile that looked uglier than crying.

"What... what else do you want? I've already conceded."

Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but sneer.

"Conceded?"

"The fight's already over, and now you're telling me you concede?"

"You haven't forgotten, have you? I said it before: after three moves, we won't just decide the victor, we'll decide life and death."

Qin Hao took a step forward, and Jiang Yichen subconsciously took a step back.

"Now, it's my turn!"

Qin Hao's voice was very calm, yet it made all the hairs on Jiang Yichen's body stand on end.

"You, you dare to kill me? I am the son of the Second Ancestor of the Jiang family. If you kill me, the Jiang family will not let you off."

Qin Hao sneered. "The son of an Immortal Emperor? Who isn't?"

As his voice faded, Qin Hao moved. Without using any spiritual energy, he simply threw out a punch.

But it was this simple punch that made Jiang Yichen feel as if a primordial divine mountain was crashing down upon him.

Jiang Yichen wanted to dodge, but Qin Hao's speed was too fast. The moment the thought of dodging sprouted in Jiang Yichen's mind, in the very next second, Qin Hao's fist had already smashed into his chest.

"Bang—"

Struck by Qin Hao's punch, Jiang Yichen's body exploded with a boom, turning into a sky full of blood mist. It left behind only a dim Primordial Spirit floating in midair, shivering in fear.

"So strong!"

Jiang Yichen was shocked to his core, looking at Qin Hao with eyes full of disbelief.

He cultivated a nearly complete Great Dao, possessed the Azure Dragon Divine Body, and his cultivation base was an entire major realm higher than Qin Hao's.

Yet despite all that, this monster Qin Hao had shattered his physical body with just a single punch!

And this was only using his pure physical strength. If coupled with spiritual energy, Jiang Yichen simply dared not imagine how much destructive power Qin Hao's punch would hold.

Jiang Yichen's Primordial Spirit trembled violently. Without almost any hesitation, he turned to flee.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. His Primordial Spirit transformed into a streak of light, fleeing frantically toward the horizon.

However—

Just as Jiang Yichen had escaped less than a hundred zhang away, a terrifying coercion swept over from behind, making it difficult for him to move a single inch.

Jiang Yichen looked back, and then, his Primordial Spirit completely froze in place.

He saw a pair of eyes—Qin Hao's dual pupils. They were as deep as the abyss, seemingly containing the chaotic power from the beginning of the universe's creation, and looking like two black holes capable of devouring everything in the world.

What was even more terrifying was that within those dual pupils, the sun, moon, and stars revolved, and thousands of Great Daos rumbled!

"Are these dual pupils?"

Jiang Yichen cried out involuntarily.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen dual-pupil wielders before. In his era, a few dual-pupil wielders had emerged, each of them a peerless genius who intimidated an entire region, and he had even fought against one of them.

Although he had luckily won by a half-move in that battle, the power of the dual pupils remained fresh in his memory.

But at this moment, facing Qin Hao's dual pupils, he suddenly realized that the dual pupils of the person he had fought against before were like a firefly compared to the bright moon when placed next to Qin Hao's!

Looking straight into these dual pupils, Jiang Yichen felt like an ant being stared down by a divine dragon from the Nine Heavens. Apart from shivering in fear, he could do absolutely nothing.

In those dual pupils, Jiang Yichen saw the reflection of his own Primordial Spirit. It was so tiny, humble, and completely vulnerable.

Qin Hao approached Jiang Yichen step by step. With every step Qin Hao took, Jiang Yichen felt as if a heavy hammer was striking his heart, making him tremble endlessly.

"No, you, don't come over! I concede, I've already conceded!"

Having said that, Jiang Yichen urged his divine sense and shouted into a voice transmission jade pendant, "Father, save me!"

As his voice fell, the voice transmission jade pendant wrapped in his divine sense abruptly exploded.

Immediately after, a terrifyingly extreme coercion erupted from the shattered jade pendant. The coercion was so strong that it instantly made the world change color.

The originally clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds and rolling thunder. The spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand miles surged frantically, condensing into a massive phantom above Jiang Yichen's Primordial Spirit.

That phantom wore an imperial robe and an imperial crown. His facial features bore some resemblance to Jiang Yichen's, but possessed endless majesty and vicissitudes of time.

His pair of eyes were like two massive suns, overlooking everything below.

This was the Second Ancestor of the Jiang family, Jiang Wudao.

Seeing the other party bring out an Immortal Emperor, Qin Hao was unwilling to show weakness. He immediately prepared to shout towards the sky for Qin Wuya. His cheap father was an Immortal Emperor who had completed the entire Great Dao; dealing with this Second Ancestor of the Jiang family would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

However, just as he was about to speak, Qin Hao realized that he couldn't move. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak. Qin Hao's heart chilled; this old fogey must have cast a restriction on him.

"Little child of the Qin family, let this matter rest here. This Emperor Weapon with ninety-eight Emperor Inscriptions will serve as an apology for my son's recklessness."

Jiang Wudao's phantom spoke, his voice like the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens, shaking the entire world until it trembled.

A moment later, a long spear that was only one Emperor Inscription away from advancing to an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon appeared at Qin Hao's feet. Qin Hao couldn't even move his eyes; he could only stand there blankly like he was in a daze.

"What do you think of this resolution of mine?"

Hearing Jiang Wudao's question, the corner of Qin Hao's eye twitched uncontrollably. Oh, asking for my opinion now? Did you even allow me to open my mouth?

"Not speaking? If you don't speak, then I'll take it as your agreement."

After Jiang Wudao's phantom finished speaking, he didn't care whether Qin Hao could speak or not. With a wave of his large hand, he swept up Jiang Yichen's Primordial Spirit, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared.

That terrifying coercion also dissipated along with him, leaving Qin Hao still standing in place, unable to move.
