Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Where Did That Arrogance of Yours Just Now Go? (Please Follow)
"Such a lowly Saint Realm dares to attack my master, you’re just asking to die!"
A deep, ancient voice thundered between heaven and earth. That voice seemed to pierce through bodies and strike at souls, making people’s souls shudder uncontrollably.
After that voice rang out, the immense Primordial Qi Great Hand Seal pressing down from the sky felt as though it was suppressed by some force, then instantly crumbled. The overwhelming power and pressure vanished in a flash, and the Great Hand Seal dissolved into pinpricks of light, scattering into the air.
"Who? Who is making a move?" The Qin Family’s Saint Realm Ancestor in the sky looked grim.
The one who acted was, of course, Tang Hao. Only the Soul Body of Tang Hao appeared in front of Xiao Ye, yet his whole form seemed solid and lifelike, nothing different from a living person. If it weren’t for that overwhelmingly strong soul power radiating from him, anyone would have thought he was just a normal man, not a Soul Body.
"Slave Tang Hao, pays respects to Master!" Tang Hao knelt on one knee, clasping his fists as he spoke.
Xiao Ye helped him up, pointed at the figure in the sky, and laughed, "That old guy’s standing up there way too high. Go drag him down and beat him up, would you?"
Tang Hao nodded, "This little slave will get right on it!"
Up in the sky, the Qin Family Ancestor’s face was heavy as he stared at the newly appeared Soul Body Tang Hao, feeling a sense of déjà vu, as though he had seen him somewhere before. Something about the white-haired old man made him feel suffocated by pressure.
With a flash—"whoosh!"—Tang Hao appeared before the Qin Family Ancestor, scoffing, "Oh ho, the Supreme-level trash from back then, now you’ve reached the Saint Realm? Let’s see how much you’ve got after stepping into the Saint Realm."
*Saint Realm was when one condensed an Attribute Physique, able to wield Rule Power.*
*Quasi-Emperor was achieved after mastering Rule Power, condensing a Rule Physique, and beginning to commune with the Rule Essence itself.*
With a crisp "smack!" Rule Power surged over Tang Hao’s body; mysterious runes glowed beneath his feet as he kicked the Qin Family Ancestor straight on.
Rule of Strength!
The Qin Family Ancestor didn’t even react before the restrictions and defensive Rule Power on him collapsed from that single kick.
With a booming "bang——!" and a blazing tail flame behind him, he was sent flying straight down toward the ground like a falling star, smashing into the earth below.
The impact shattered the very foundations where the Bronze Hall once stood, embedding his body deep into the ground.
Tang Hao flickered to the edge of the deep pit, expressionless, and said,
"Quit playing dead. Get up, now."
"Cough, cough!" The Qin Family Ancestor hacked up blood, his body filthy and disheveled. He floated up in a sorry state, landing before Tang Hao, crying out, "I remember you now, you’re the Bronze Hall’s Artifact Spirit!"
"Junior Qin Feng, greets Senior Tang!"
Tang Hao curled his lip with disdain, "Well, at least your eyes work, but don’t think just calling me ’Senior’ will let you off the hook. You pissed off my master, you know that?"
He coughed blood, the Qin Family Ancestor frowning, "Senior, did you really recognize that youngster as your master? The Bronze Hall just surrenders to him like that?"
Tang Hao nodded, impatiently, "So what if I did? What, you want to take over the Bronze Hall or something?"
The Qin Family Ancestor looked a bit embarrassed, scratching his head, face flushing awkwardly, as he replied,
"Of course not, what virtue or ability does my Qin Family have to seize the Bronze Hall!"
Tang Hao grabbed him by the collar and threw him at Xiao Ye’s feet like a dead dog, then kicked his skin drum and threatened, "Apologize to my master. You don’t need me to teach you how to do it, right?"
The Qin Family Ancestor had completely lost his initial dominance and swagger, slumping on the ground like a drowned rat, and softly said, "Young man, it was my recklessness—I, Qin Feng, apologize for my earlier actions."
"Since you have subdued the Bronze Hall, of course you can take it with you as you like. My Qin Family has no right to interfere."
He made his position clear. He had given in.
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched. *Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? Where’d all that arrogance go?*
Yun Bing curiously sized Tang Hao up and down with her beautiful eyes, and to her shock, realized he was in a Soul Body state, and every move he made triggered a response from the Rule of Strength between heaven and earth.
*That Rule of Strength seemed perfect, gathered entirely within him, simplified to the utmost. Every movement conjured a response from heaven and earth, yet didn’t affect anything nearby in the slightest, like all was fused into one, reaching the ultimate in simplicity.*
*Damn! This guy’s at least peak Saint Realm, hell, maybe even Quasi-Emperor level.*
Yun Bing was stunned, her beautiful eyes going wide, her face blank.
Tang Hao clasped his fists and asked, "Master, what do you want done with this Saint Realm—cripple or kill?"
The prostrate Qin Family Ancestor shuddered and quickly begged for mercy, "Senior, young man, please don’t kill me..."
Outside, City Lord Qin Tai was pacing frantically in the main hall of Jinling City’s City Lord’s Mansion, his expression anxious as he walked back and forth.
"Mr. Xiao, you better come out of this safe."
"Ancestor, please show some mercy."
"Xi’er is still waiting for Mr. Xiao’s help!"
"We’ve searched for over ten years with no solution, finally found someone who can help Xi’er, and if he’s killed by my own ancestor, killed right in front of me, I’ll feel guilty for Xi’er for life!"
Suddenly, a force swept Qin Tai out of nowhere, enveloping him and tearing through boundaries into a minor dimensional world.
"Don’t kill me, I’m willing to compensate..." The moment Qin Tai arrived, he heard his own ancestor pitifully begging Xiao Ye for mercy, groveling on the ground, a total mess.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye remained calm and composed, spotless, his hair not even mussed.
"!" Qin Tai was dumbfounded.
*What the hell’s going on?*
Qin Tai rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking he saw wrong. After rubbing, he looked again—the scene hadn’t changed.
His own ancestor was groveling like a dead dog, begging desperately.
The Qin Family Ancestor saw Qin Tai spacing out and glared, "Hey brat, get over here and beg for me! You want to watch your own ancestor die in the clan’s little world?"
Another surge of force swept him up, and Qin Tai was forcibly made to kneel before Xiao Ye, totally bewildered.
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched and he quickly helped Qin Tai up, then complained to the Qin Family Ancestor, "Just go, I don’t want to see you again."
When it came to this Qin Tai, who would risk his life to protect him, Xiao Ye felt real admiration and respect in his heart for the guy.
The Qin Family Ancestor was overjoyed, glanced at Tang Hao, saw Tang Hao didn’t look annoyed, and fled away as a beam of light.
Tang Hao clasped his fists, "Master, it’s done. This little slave will return to the Bronze Hall now."
Xiao Ye nodded.
A minute later, Qin Tai led Xiao Ye, Yun Bing, and Mu Qingxue toward Qin Xi’Er’s villa, thanking him along the way, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for sparing my ancestor’s life. At such a young age, you have such vision. You’ll definitely be a legend, a dragon among men."
Xiao Ye laughed, "Well, I hope your words come true."
Yun Bing chimed in, "No need to wait for the future. Right now he’s already a dragon among men. He can hold his own. Even I, a Supreme, can’t compare to him anymore."
Qin Tai laughed heartily, "Exactly!"
When they arrived at Qin Xi’Er’s residence and the villa’s door opened, the group saw the exquisitely beautiful, gentle, and quiet girl Qin Xi’Er.
Xiao Ye immediately activated the template-adjustment probe function.
