Chapter Ninety-Five Trouble

  He walked out of the mysterious gate, and the street had already darkened. The lanterns hanging on both sides of the road swayed gently in the wind.

  Along the way, there were still many people on the road. Unlike other cities, Heishi City had the most warriors, and it was also lively at night.

  Along the way, many people were discussing the scene of more than 200 people going out of the city to hunt down Baozi during the day. Qin Hao occasionally stopped to listen, although the details of the discussion were different, but the general meaning was not much different: roughly speaking, more than 200 hunters dispersed and searched along the outer perimeter of Wan Shou Gu, but they gained nothing. It is said that several warriors are missing. Under normal circumstances, after ten days, these ten people will be peeled into white sheep and hung on a high building in Heishi City.

  Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh, and his mood also lightened up a lot.

  Unconsciously, the building of Lie Meng appeared in front of Qin Hao, with the logo of Lie Meng shining brightly on the signboard, looking exceptionally dazzling in the dark night.

  Qin Hao took out the seal from his ring, grasped it in his palm, and stepped up along the long staircase. Last time he broke the record of Blackstone City's Hunting Alliance Warrior authority upgrade, this time he might break the record of a warrior being stripped of his title.

  Dropped out of the Hunter's Alliance after just five days, this was indeed a rare occurrence. Qin Hao sneered to himself as he stepped up and crossed the threshold, heading into the interior.

  The light inside was extremely dazzling. As soon as Qin Hao stepped in, his eyes were blinded by the bright light and he couldn't help but squint slightly.

  Just as he was about to move forward again, a strong gust of wind swept across his waist.

  Qin Hao was slightly surprised, his right palm exerted force and slapped towards the source of the strong wind.

  Bang!

  Qin Hao felt his hand collide with a fist, which contained a tremendous force, and was locked in a stalemate with Qin Hao, not retreating in the slightest.

  Qin Hao smiled coldly and suddenly exerted his strength, sending the person he was fighting flying backward.

  He opened his eyes, his face calm and serene, scanning the scene in front of him.

  All he saw in front of him were two men standing there, one a short and stout man around thirty years old, and the other a robust big man wearing a green long gown.

  The short man's cheek had a knife scar, the scar was not long, but it was like a centipede lying across his face.

  The robust big Han's face was flushed with an abnormal flush, his hands were rubbing together, and he looked at Qin Hao with a gloomy expression. The short little Han's eyes were shrouded in a layer of haze, his eyes were like sharp arrows.

  Qin Hao's gaze swept around again, and he saw those relatively familiar warriors sitting on one side, with a look of gloating. Some had mocking expressions, while others were coldly silent.

  Su Ya was sitting behind the counter, lowering her head as if writing something, but she didn't dare look up at him.

  "What does it mean?"

  Qin Hao spoke in a light tone, his words accompanied by the sound of crackling beans as he clenched his fists.

  "Thanks." The short man smiled, revealing a crooked scar that seemed even more ominous.

  "Zeng Hua." A robust and sturdy man with raised eyebrows and a provocative gaze.

  "Tian Lang." Qin Hao smiled softly and said bluntly: "Enough nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

  Qin Hao's expression looked very calm, just like when he was collecting the Lin family in Tianlang City before, as if it were an ancient well without ripples.

  "Since you put it that way." The short man composed himself and exchanged a glance with Zeng Hua.

  "Then let's just get straight to the point." Zeng Hua suddenly roared, with a ferocious grin on his face, and pounced towards Qin Hao.

  Two figures, one tall and one thin, shot over like two arrows in flight.

  Xie Feng's body was shrouded in a water-blue mysterious aura, his body twisting like a snake, swift as an arrow, and formless as water, fluttering unpredictably.

  Zeng Hua's body was emitting a yellowish glow, and he charged forward in a straight line. His speed wasn't fast, but his momentum was extremely intimidating. He was like a massive boulder that could move on its own, as if he wanted to use brute force to crush everything in front of him.

  "Ling Xuan Triple Layer." Qin Hao immediately made a judgment in his heart.

  He let out a cold laugh and stepped forward with his foot, advancing towards the two of them.

  "Faster?" Qin Hao's figure was like a gust of wind, swiftly twisting and jumping, charging in front of Xie Feng.

  Xie Feng's pupils contracted, his movements sped up again, and the angle of his body changed even more eerily. But no matter how fast he went, Qin Hao was still clinging to him like a ghost, unable to shake him off.

  Just as a fish, no matter how agile, cannot leave the water's embrace. At this moment, Xie Feng's nimble and twisting figure was like a quick fish, while Qin Hao was like the omnipresent water to him.

  "Continuous waves." Xie Feng let out a loud roar, his palm carrying a dark blue aura, constantly flipping up and down, as if he had conjured up a wave out of thin air. The wave crashed against Qin Hao repeatedly.

  "Explode." Qin Hao's expression didn't change as he lightly drew a faint red glow that shot out.

  Bang!

  Water and fire clashed, with a loud explosion. Qin Hao's figure didn't move at all, while Xie Feng retreated several steps in a row, his face turning pale and then white.

  At this time, Zeng Hua's shadow also moved to the front. Zeng Hua's eyes swept across Xie Feng's situation, his heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth. Two thick palms covered a layer of extremely thick mysterious energy, pressing over, and his body rushed forward with it.

  Earth-based Xuan Qi, vast and profound, strong in defense, yet not just defensive. Xuan Qi gathers on the body, then a powerful push forward, also an extremely overbearing attacking method.

  Qin Hao's right leg stepped forward, his body straightened up, and his entire being was like a battle-axe pointing directly at the sky. His whole right arm was bathed in red light, raised high, like an axe head dyed red. Then, the axe head's sharp edge fiercely pressed down, heavily chopping downwards.

  Bang! The yellow earth aura completely dissipated, Zeng Hua stumbled back, fell out of several steps, and stood still, staring at Qin Hao with a venomous gaze.

  "Continue?" Qin Hao's tone was flat, completely ignoring the fierce gaze in the eyes of the two people.

  Xie Hua and Feng Tuo's eyes met at the same time, and they let out a cold laugh in unison before charging forward once again.

  "Stop."

  A figure stood up and walked towards the three. The voice sounded somewhat low, and as soon as Xie Hua and Feng heard it, they both stopped dead in their tracks, their faces expressionless, but not taking another step forward.

  Qin Hao looked in the direction of the sound. A man in a Chinese tunic and a beautiful young woman, seventeen or eighteen years old, walked over shoulder to shoulder.

  The man's face was fair and his features were delicate, with a smile on his face as he walked. The woman wore a light green dress, her face was like a painting, and as she walked, the hem of her skirt swayed gently, like a lotus flower swaying in the wind.

  The onlookers' eyes widened, their gazes burning with a fiery intensity, occasionally accompanied by the sound of swallowed saliva. However, when these people's gazes converged on the man in brocade clothes, they all transformed into deep reverence and apprehension.

  Qin Hao glanced at the woman, and his gaze moved away. Compared to the women he had seen before, this person's appearance was not bad, but compared to Qin Yu Xian, the difference was more than just a little.

  The two figures drew closer, and a whiff of feminine fragrance wafted over. Even Xie Feng and Zeng Hua's gazes seemed to burn with intensity.

  The woman's lotus steps moved lightly, her vermilion lips slightly moving, and she smiled softly: "Are you Tian Lang?"

  Qin Hao nodded slightly and asked indifferently: "Is there something?"

  The woman didn't show any embarrassment at all and continued smiling as she said, "Shen Yue, this is Ye Ling. He's the grandson of Mu Zhanglao from the Black Stone City branch."

  A man named Ye Ling smiled at Qin Hao: "Xie Feng and Zeng Hua heard that a new nominal warrior had arrived, who was quite powerful. They were not convinced in their hearts for the time being, so they said they wanted to come and try it out. If they offended you, I hope you won't take offense."

  Ye Ling said up to here, revealing a hint of apologetic expression.

  Ye Ling? Qin Hao's heart stirred, during the day, he had heard people say that a new Wood Elder had arrived at the Hunting Alliance branch in this city, with formidable strength. His grandson and the warriors his grandson brought were also arrogant and domineering. Could it be that the person before him was...

  Qin Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "No need." He then turned to Xie Feng and Zeng Hua and asked, "Don't you want to fight anymore?"

  Xie Feng and Zeng Hua's faces turned bright red, their fists clenched tightly in secret, biting their teeth, and their feet lifted up. But when their eyes fell on Ye Ling, the foot that had already been raised gently put back down again.

  "If you don't fight, then I'll take my leave."

  Qin Hao nodded at Ye Ling and Shen Yue, then walked past them towards the counter.

  "Tian Lang." Ye Ling suddenly stopped him: "I don't know if you have any interest in going with us to do a task. Although it's a bit difficult, the reward is very rich."

  "Why look for me?" Qin Hao's footsteps paused.

  "This Blackstone City branch, the strongest are just us few. Xie Feng and Zeng Hua are both at the third level of Lingxuan, Shen Yue and I are both at the fourth level of Lingxuan. Your cultivation is about on par with ours."

  "Not interested." Qin Hao replied succinctly and decisively.

  Ye Ling furrowed his brow, his expression seemingly somewhat displeased.

  "Hmph, having some power really makes you think you're someone, huh?" Xie Feng sneered: "Young Master Ye inviting you is giving you face, don't be ungrateful here."

  "Leaf Ling." Zeng Hua's face was unsightly as he stared at Qin Hao: "Just now, you shouldn't have stopped us. Let me and Xie Feng teach him a good lesson."

  Ye Ling waved his hand to stop the two: "Tian Lang, don't you think about it? This time we're hunting a demon beast, the reward is 100 first-grade peak Xuan crystals, and if the five of us work together, we'll definitely get a lot."

  Shen Yue let out a gentle laugh and spoke in a persuasive tone, "Tian Lang, don't be so stubborn. Ye Ling is someone who rarely personally invites people. Moreover, by accepting this task, you'll also receive a high-level authority map of the Wan Shou Gu Valley."

  Qin Hao's seal had already been taken out, but as soon as he heard Shen Yue's words, he quietly put it back.

  The Wan Shou Gu map! So far, with Qin Hao's authority, the highest map that can be obtained is only a map that marks the second-level intermediate ordinary demon beasts, and the higher the map, the more difficult it is to exchange.

  If you want to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts to search for Fatso's trail, without a very detailed map, the danger is unimaginable.

  Ye Ling saw Qin Hao seemed to have a mind to move, holding a sheepskin map in his hand and threw it over. Qin Hao didn't turn around, stretched out his hand behind him and grabbed the map into his hand.

  As he unfolded the map, Qin Hao's heart was stirred. The marked locations on this map had already reached a fifth of the Beast Valley's range, and there were even records of second-tier peak demon beasts' appearances.

  After some deliberation, Qin Hao made up his mind.

  "I've accepted." Qin Hao carefully rolled up the map and turned around to face the two: "When are we departing?"

  "The day after tomorrow." Shen Yue smiled and replied: "These two days can be used to rest well. Ye Shao's task is not easy to take."

  "Good." Qin Hao nodded.

  Suddenly, he stomped his foot fiercely and his figure vanished from where he was standing.

  Bang! Bang!

  The next moment, two figures were thrown out and smashed towards the position where the martial artists who had just been watching the show with relish. A group of martial artists hastily scattered in all directions, while the two figures crashed through several tables and chairs, splinters flying everywhere, and landed at the foot of the wall.

  Two people lay on the ground, groaning incessantly. The voices sounded like they belonged to Xie Feng and Zeng Hua.

  Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they saw Qin Hao standing at the spot where the two had originally stood.

  "I didn't put too much weight on you just now, and you've been lying there for half a day, which is about enough." Qin Hao said calmly amidst the crowd's gaze.

  He finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the Hunter's Guild room: "I'm afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to solve it. Next time if anyone wants to cause trouble, come together!"
