CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 426: HELPERS

Qin Hao felt the sharp Sword Intent before him and couldn’t help but be shocked. Yan Fan was forcibly interrupted, which would cause the opponent severe internal injuries, and Qin Hao knew this too. However, the foundation of this Elder Jin from the Golden Stone Sect was so deep that despite the self-inflicted backlash, he could still unleash such a fierce Sword Intent!

With no other choice, Qin Hao had to quickly retract his attacking kick and darted backward three to four meters, avoiding the strike!

The disciple from the Golden Stone Sect had already turned pale with fear, and he hastily dragged his sword to hide at the back.

The scene instantly entered a phase of confrontation!

The disciples from the Golden Stone Sect hid in the shadows, seemingly ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.

Elder Jin and Qin Hao were evenly matched in combat, and for now, neither side was able to gain the upper hand.

After a brief silence, Elder Jin gently shook the Soft Sword in his hand, and the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the tree leaves cast a glaring silver sheen on the sword’s blade. With his hand’s movement, a large stream of light poured onto the ground like liquid silver.

Just by this technique alone, Elder Jin was enough to reign supreme in the art of Sword Dao!

He looked at Qin Hao, smiled slightly, and then said, "Qin Hao, you are truly strong, far beyond my expectations. Now, as long as you agree to join my Golden Stone Sect, I will give you the antidote immediately and make you the most core Direct Disciple in our sect. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple hiding in the shadows felt another wave of intense jealousy.

The status of a Direct Disciple in a sect is extremely prestigious, because only those with exceptional talent would be appointed as Direct Disciples, receiving all resources and meticulous training. Every Direct Disciple is destined to be at least Elder Level in the future.

Yet, as he looked at Qin Hao with envy, Qin Hao simply smiled softly and then said, "So, are you saying you have the antidote with you?"

Elder Jin laughed ambiguously, without saying a word.

Seeing him acting mysterious, Qin Hao suddenly sneered, "Haha, it’s a good thing I don’t want to waste words with you. If I kill you, whether you have the antidote or not will become clear naturally."

Hearing Qin Hao’s words, Elder Jin reacted as if he had heard something amusing and burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Qin Hao, you are indeed arrogant enough to make me laugh!"

"With just your fists, no matter how strong, you can only match me evenly. Kill me? You must be dreaming in daylight!"

After he finished speaking, Qin Hao just stared at him playfully and then curled his lips disdainfully.

"On my own, it’s naturally impossible. But what about if added her?"

As Qin Hao spoke, Gu Qinyue quietly emerged from behind a large elm tree, standing calmly before Elder Jin.

Seeing Gu Qinyue’s petite figure, Elder Jin’s pupils contracted sharply and he retreated two steps in fright!

The two sides had been battling for so long, yet this little girl had been hiding behind the tree without him noticing at all, what a terrifying thing!

At Elder Jin’s level of cultivation, his senses were already exceptionally sharp. Generally, in this elm forest, whether it was hiding a person or a rabbit running in, he could detect it immediately.

But this girl, her aura was like the trees, blending completely with nature, without an ounce of discernible anomaly.

Such a situation Elder Jin had never encountered before!

He pointed at Gu Qinyue somewhat panicked and said, "Who, who are you!!"

Gu Qinyue saw him as if facing a great enemy, and timidly glanced back at Qin Hao. After seeing Qin Hao’s steadfast eyes, she felt much reassured and said crisply, "I am his friend!"

Elder Jin almost spat blood in anger, he was not at all fooled by Gu Qinyue’s innocent and harmless appearance, instead, he felt more apprehensive.

The girl before him, her aura was pure and ethereal, as if not belonging to the mortal world. His expression turned cold while Qin Hao smiled brightly and said, "How about now with the two of us? It should be enough to kill you, right?"

As he spoke, he also felt secretly relieved.

When receiving Elder Jin’s call to come over, Qin Hao considered various options and eventually called Gu Qinyue, giving her the address, and had her hide there in advance. After all, being an Ancient Martial Family, they had an unquestionable right to stand prominent in this world, surely having their boastful reasons.

Although Qin Hao’s words were filled with disdain, he did not underestimate in the slightest. Bringing Gu Qinyue along was precisely for this tactic.

Especially now, Gu Qinyue could begin to control some of her mysterious powers within her body; in her long-haired mode, Gu Qinyue was undoubtedly the strongest and most formidable existence Qin Hao had encountered!

He looked at Gu Qinyue and then stepped forward to gently ruffle her hair, saying, "Qinyue, let’s unleash all the power you can control now!"

Gu Qinyue nodded obediently and then said, "Alright."

After she spoke, she gently closed her eyes, and her long white dress fluttered without wind; then her entire being began to change rapidly!

Even though Qin Hao had seen Gu Qinyue transform many times, every time he couldn’t help but marvel. As he watched, the first change was her hair, which grew from shoulder length to cascading down to her waist in a speed visible to the naked eye.

Along with her hair, her height sprang up significantly, her formerly flat chest became high and prominent, and the white dress that had reached below her knees transformed into a knee-length short skirt.

Once she reopened her eyes, Gu Qinyue’s expression was cold; there was a strange and ethereal charisma in her eyes, as if she had completely become a different person.

This rapid transformation was completed in just a few seconds, and Elder Jin still hadn’t recovered from the shock when Qin Hao shouted aloud and charged forward!

"Attack! Quick and decisive!!"

After saying this, Qin Hao had already rushed to Elder Jin, and the disciple hiding in the shadows dared no longer observe. Lifting his sword, he quickly charged out.

Yet, just as he appeared, an ancient purple bewitching character, "Witch," exploded from Gu Qinyue’s chest, and with the skirt swaying, her long, rounded legs were overflowing with wild power as she directly lunged at that disciple!

Gu Qinyue’s speed was extremely fast; even with Qin Hao’s eyesight, he only saw a fleeting shadow, and Gu Qinyue had already arrived in front of the Golden Stone Sect disciple.

In the disciple’s eyes flashed a trace of horror; he was just about to speak when a pair of fair palms was imprinted onto his chest!

Gu Qinyue—

Terrifying indeed!
