As the Icefire Cold Python took flight, Qian Qi hurriedly dodged.
Qian Qi ran fast and avoided being struck, but Wang Wu and Zhang San were not so lucky. They were smashed by the Icefire Cold Python and left dazed and disoriented—one vomiting blood, the other with an unsteady aura.
Quan Jiu was the most innocent of all.
He was directly smashed to death, his flesh and blood mangled by the Icefire Cold Python. After taking one look, Qin Hao even felt there was no need to Devour Quan Jiu. Someone this weak probably would not be of much use even after being Devoured.
“How is he so strong? Why don’t we run?”
Zhang San glanced at Qin Hao. He was simply too strong. Judging by its size, the Icefire Cold Python weighed at least several thousand jin, yet Qin Hao had tossed it aside as if it were nothing. If that monstrous strength landed on him in a punch, he would probably be able to go meet Yama after a single blow.
“Do you think we can get away?”
Qian Qi remained calm. Although the current situation was not very favorable for them, it was still manageable. After all, the Icefire Cold Python was not dead yet.
There was still a snake capable of restraining Qin Hao.
The grudge had already been formed. If they did not kill Qin Hao now, then once Qin Hao grew stronger, they would not escape death even if they hid in the Heavenly Demon Sect main headquarters!
“Send a signal. Say there is someone from the Corpse Clan.”
Qian Qi said to Zhang San. Zhang San nodded. At this point, this was their only option: request the dao protector to kill Qin Hao.
Although this meant they would not obtain the Hantian Stalactite Milk, what use were treasures if they lost their lives?
Zhang San crushed a talisman.
“A signal from the other party has been detected. Consume ten devouring points to intercept it?”
“Intercept it! Intercept it!”
Qin Hao did not hesitate and immediately ordered the System to intercept it.
If a heavenly demon sect dao protector as incomparably powerful as the one who had come when he fought Zhao Ming arrived, all his plans would be ruined.
He could not let them send out the signal.
“Interception successful.”
After the System issued the notification, Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
If you cannot win, call for reinforcements!
The heavenly demon sect disciples certainly had quite the imposing presence!
Qin Hao stared at Qian Qi. His gaze made Qian Qi shudder with fear. However, when he thought of the dao protector, Qian Qi relaxed. No matter how powerful Qin Hao was, it was impossible for him to defeat the dao protector.
The dao protector was a late foundation establishment expert!
“Corpse Clan member, surrender at once! My heavenly demon sect dao protector will arrive shortly. You will not be able to keep hopping around for much longer!”
“Arrive shortly?”
Qin Hao merely smiled faintly.
That “shortly” might mean never.
Qin Hao moved like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he was less than thirty meters from Qian Qi.
Having witnessed Qin Hao’s terrifying strength, how could Qian Qi dare engage him at close range? He immediately retreated and casually flung out several talismans.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Several explosions rang out as the talismans detonated, filling the area with thick smoke. Qin Hao’s vision was obscured for a moment, but that did not stop him from giving chase.
The corpse king’s nose was top-notch as well!
Relying on his sense of smell, Qin Hao located a living person and reached out to grab him. Before the other party could even scream, Qin Hao directly Devoured and absorbed him.
The person caught by Qin Hao immediately turned into a dried corpse.
Once the smoke had dispersed, Qian Qi swallowed hard as he looked at Wang Wu, who had died horribly in Qin Hao’s hands. He was extremely grateful that it had not been him who was caught.
If it had been him, he would probably have already become a dried corpse.
Qin Hao was simply too terrifying.
Thinking of this, Qian Qi could not help glancing at Zhang San. His eyes were filled with resentment. If not for Zhang San, why would he have come here and incurred Qin Hao’s enmity?
Zhang San could only smile bitterly. Who could have known Qin Hao would be this powerful?
“If you have any trump cards, hand them over quickly. Otherwise, you will not get another chance.” Qian Qi said through gritted teeth.
Of the four people, only two remained.
Even if they begged Qin Hao for mercy now, it would be useless. Qin Hao had clearly decided to Devour them one by one.
“All right.” Zhang San nodded and took out a talisman.
Qin Hao only glanced at this talisman, yet he immediately sensed danger.
“Samadhi True Flame!”
Zhang San shouted as the talisman in his hand ignited. A wisp of flame hovered in the air. Although it was only a wisp, it faintly seemed to burn space, and the temperature it emitted drove away the surrounding cold qi.
Qin Hao knew very well that he absolutely could not be touched by the flame.
Otherwise, he could go live in the Netherworld permanently.
“Daoist friend, you are lacking martial ethics! I challenged you to a fair duel, yet you actually used an external object to ambush an eighteen-year-old veteran Cultivator like me!”
Qin Hao’s words did not affect Zhang San in the slightest.
So what if I am lacking martial ethics? I am about to die!
Besides, I am a Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple. Have you ever seen a Demon Sect disciple practice martial ethics?
The Samadhi True Flame came rushing over. Qin Hao dodged repeatedly, but the Samadhi True Flame pursued him relentlessly, as if it had locked onto him.
Qin Hao cursed inwardly while searching for a solution.
At that moment, the Icefire Cold Python moved. After sensing the aura of the Samadhi True Flame, it intended to flee. The flames were not something Qin Hao could withstand, and neither could it!
If the Samadhi True Flame drifted onto its body, it would turn into a roasted snake.
When the Icefire Cold Python moved, Qin Hao got an idea.
He had almost forgotten about the Icefire Cold Python. With its enormous body, it could completely block the Samadhi True Flame and even be roasted in the process. It was truly killing two birds with one stone!
Qin Hao was not only tempted by the idea; he also put it into action.
Just as the Icefire Cold Python was about to flee, Qin Hao grabbed its body with both hands and fiercely hurled it toward the Samadhi True Flame.
At that moment, the Icefire Cold Python fell into despair.
The Samadhi True Flame touched the Icefire Cold Python and immediately began burning it. In less than three breaths, the Icefire Cold Python had become a Fire Serpent, howling in agony yet utterly powerless to resist.
It eventually collapsed onto the ground, having lost all vitality.
Of course, it also gave off the delicious aroma of roasted meat.
Qin Hao sniffed. It really did smell good, and he very much wanted to eat it.
However, that was not the main task right now.
Qin Hao glanced at Zhang San and Qian Qi, who were preparing to flee.
Zhang San and Qian Qi were quite practical as well, immediately speeding up their escape.
“Still trying to run? Weren’t you so capable? Where is your dao protector?”
Qin Hao took off after them at full speed.
“Where is the dao protector? Why has he still not arrived? Did you actually send the signal or not?” Qian Qi said, nearly breaking down.
“I sent the signal!” Zhang San was also on the verge of breaking down.
That dao protector was neglecting his duty!
He had clearly sent the distress signal, so why had the dao protector still not arrived?
The speed of a late foundation establishment expert should not be this slow.
If Zhang San and Qian Qi knew that the signal had been intercepted by Qin Hao, who knew what they would feel.
However, they would never have the chance to find out.
Qin Hao was incredibly fast. He first caught Zhang San and, without even letting him say a single word, directly drained him into a dried corpse.
After that, Qian Qi was also caught by Qin Hao. Unlike Zhang San, Qian Qi did not die without saying a word. However, his final words before death were quite thought-provoking.
Qian Qi’s final words were: “Zhang San, screw your grandfather!”
