"You dare speak to me like this?"

Qianye Zhenfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, brimming with murderous intent.

The young officer's neck shrank, showing a look of fear; yet he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "Those are our soldiers over there, not from your Thousand Needle Country. Don't treat our soldiers as if they're not soldiers! If it were people from your Thousand Needle Country defending that hill, would you still do the same?"

"Indeed!"

Qianye Zhenfeng snorted coldly, took a stride forward, drawing the bow to full tension!

"Sir! You can't do this!"

The young officer panicked and shouted loudly.

But as soon as his words came out, he saw Qianye Zhenfeng flick out a hand, a light flick of the finger.

A stream of Primordial Power shot out from the tip of his finger—swoosh, the young officer's head was pierced with a large hole. With eyes wide and a face filled with unwillingness and fear, he fell backward.

"Disobedience to military orders deserves death without mercy!"

Qianye Zhenfeng snorted coldly, and at the same time, a powerful force began to converge on the Dragon Sinew Divine Bow.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Suddenly, three Primordial Power arrows were released, cutting through the sky like three long rainbows, flying directly towards the hill where Lin Hao was located.

Indiscriminate shooting!

In an instant, the entire hilltop was enveloped by this terrifying force.

"Here it comes!"

The Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's complexion drastically changed as she cried out in shock, feeling her blood circulating faster and experiencing a sensation of breathlessness.

And the soldiers nearby were pressed down to the ground by the powerful pressure, unable to get up!

Though it was said late, it happened fast!

Just when the three Primordial Power arrows were being shot out, Lin Hao upturned the Divine Cauldron, enlarging it to cover himself and the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder.

"Dammit!"

Qianye Zhenfeng saw it all too clearly; Lin Hao had just protected the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder with the Divine Cauldron when the three Primordial Power arrows descended.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Three explosions rang out as the Primordial Power arrows exploded on the hilltop.

Instantly, light engulfed the whole hill, rocks flew in all directions, trees caught fire, and half of the hilltop was flattened!

Thousands of Northern Realm soldiers garrisoning the peak were instantly killed or injured in countless numbers, with wailing spreading through the fields.

The Loose Cultivators witnessing the battle from afar were all stunned, wondering what they would do if the Northern Realm army used such weapons against them.

They didn't know!

If they were to go up there, they would certainly die!

But Lin Hao was unharmed!

As the light faded and the force dissipated, Lin Hao put away the Divine Cauldron and stood unscathed on the remaining half of the hilltop. He even waved at Qianye Zhenfeng's location in the distance, as if saying goodbye!

"I'll kill him! No matter the cost!"

Qianye Zhenfeng clenched his teeth in rage, his eyes bloodshot, fists tightly clenched.

This Lin Hao, not only did he cause a commotion in the Thousand Needle Country and rob the Qianye Family's Thousand Needle Auction House, but now he was also making him lose face in front of numerous people!

This hatred is irreconcilable!

"Death Soldiers, advance!"

Qianye Zhenfeng suddenly shouted coldly.

A swooshing sound of Sky-breaking motion was heard, and eighteen silhouettes, turning into dark beams, rushed toward the distance.

Death Soldiers!

They were powerful warriors meticulously trained by the Qianye Family, each possessing the strength of a Great Emperor.

But these dead bodies had been cultivated with drugs since childhood, with no thoughts of their own, blindly obedient to their master.

Even more so, having undergone special refinement by the Qianye Family, they were completely oblivious to pain and the concept of death.

Their existence was to obey orders and to wipe out anything that dared to stand in the way of the Qianye Family!

Such Death Soldiers are extremely rare, even a person like Qianye Zhenfeng only had eighteen Death Soldiers at his disposal.

This time, Qianye Zhenfeng was betting all his capital on this fight.

Those who knew of the existence of the Qianye Death Soldiers had their eyes wide open, a chill running down their spines.

They knew that a single Death Soldier Great Emperor's combat power was at least equivalent to two or even more normal Great Emperors.

Because these Death Soldiers were fearless and often disposable, they could, after consuming some sort of pill, unleash extremely powerful combat strength for a short period of time before self-destructing.

"Kill him, kill him!" Qianye Zhenfeng gritted his teeth, his expression cold and dark. In his heart, he was increasingly angry; only by killing Lin Hao could he regain a sliver of face for Thousand Needle Country and the Qianye Family.

Eighteen Death Soldiers, incredibly fast.

A few thousand meters of distance was closed in the blink of an eye.

"No good, these are Qianye Death Soldiers! Run, don't clash with them head-on!"

The Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's face changed drastically. Without waiting for Lin Hao to react, she immediately ran deeper into the forest through the gap that had been opened.

She would rather face the Evil Beasts in the deep forest than the Qianye Family's Death Soldiers!

But where can you run to be safe?

Just as the eighteen Death Soldiers were closing in, each of them took out a blue pill from their waist and swallowed it.

Instantly, the eyes of the eighteen Qianye Death Soldiers turned blood red, and their bodies emitted a blue glow!

"They've taken the pill!"

"Qianye Zhenfeng is actually willing to sacrifice eighteen Qianye Death Soldiers just to deal with Lin Hao!"

Everyone was horrified and deeply shocked.

Everyone knew how precious a single Qianye Death Soldier was, and after taking the pill, a Qianye Death Soldier could unleash a power ten times greater than their original strength.

The only defect was that after the burst of power, these Death Soldiers would explode and perish, turning into ash.

"Roar roar roar!"

The Qianye Death Soldiers, having consumed the pills, let out beast-like roars.

Each one leaped into the air, pouncing towards Lin Hao.

"Run!"

The Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's complexion changed; no matter what, she did not believe Lin Hao could handle these eighteen Qianye Death Soldiers.

If they got entangled, it would be certain death!

But Lin Hao had no intention of running at all!

Because, moving forward meant facing countless Evil Beasts, and then with Evil Beasts in front and Death Soldiers behind, it would be troublesome!

It would be better to deal with these Death Soldiers first.

Lin Hao stopped, the Divine Cauldron in his hand shrank, the True Qi around his body rippled, he was calm and collected, ready to make a move.

"What are you doing?!" The Nine Profound Heavenly Elder was stunned, clueless about what Lin Hao was up to.

At the same time, from the distance, Qianye Zhenfeng's mouth curled up in a cold smile. He leapt with all his might, charging over here. As long as Lin Hao was entangled by the Qianye Death Soldiers, today he would surely die. This tremendous feat, and the Divine Cauldron in Lin Hao's hands, would all be his. Eighteen Qianye Death Soldiers - it would be worth their deaths!

"Of course, it's to fight!"

Lin Hao sneered repeatedly, watching the eighteen Death Soldiers charging at him. He took half a step back, then waved his hand and wrote Tao Runes in midair.

In an instant, starlight twinkled, the power of the Tao converging.

At the same time, the eighteen Qianye Death Soldiers also charged, intending to tear Lin Hao apart.

"Break for me!"

In a flash, Lin Hao took action!

Tao Runes written, powerful energy surged to the skies.

Bright starlight shined resplendently, once again enshrouding the entire mountaintop.

With a thunderous boom, eighteen silhouettes were blown away by the starlight into the air, turning to dust midflight!

"This is... this can't be!" Qianye Zhenfeng had just rushed down from the mountain, looking at the scene from afar. He came to an abrupt stop, his mouth wide open in shock and disbelief.

And those Loose Cultivators in the distance were even more profoundly shocked.

Because this sight, this scene, was all too familiar!

That dazzling starlight burst, that grandeur of the Tao Aura, wasn't that the power of the man who had battled with the Northern Martial Ancestor at the mountain pass!
