Chapter 1163 - 1158: Jade Stone Daoist
"Eh, what’s happening here?"
"Isn’t that He Yugang from Jade Stone Sect? Why is he lying on the ground, injured?"
"Seems like a lot of people from Jade Stone Sect are targeting this young man?"
The conflict here quickly attracted passersby.
In no time, this place was surrounded tightly.
Old Li and Chu Head felt a chill instantly.
Damn, it’s truly over, can’t even run now!
Junior Sister Yu from Jade Stone Sect saw many coming, her cowardice disappeared.
She glared at Qin Hao and shouted, "Everyone, today a scoundrel beat our senior brother from Jade Stone Sect. Look carefully at this scoundrel’s consequences!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Turns out, this young fellow beat up He Yugang?"
"This is too fierce! Beating someone from Jade Stone Sect on their territory?"
"Fierce indeed, but also incredibly ignorant. This is their turf, if Jade Stone Daoist calls, everyone will attack him. No matter how strong he is, he’ll still be dead meat."
The bystanders’ comments hit the nail on the head for Old Li and Chu Head.
Indeed.
Qin Hao might be strong.
But under the siege of a group of experts, even he might meet a tragic end.
As a manager here, Jade Stone Daoist has the ability and authority to rally support instantly.
Li Yu understood this, hence her arrogance.
Her narrow eyes burned with fury: "You audacious fool, let me give you a chance to beg for survival now..."
"Shut up!" Qin Hao interrupted coldly, leaving Li Yu stupefied.
The surrounding bystanders were taken aback.
"Damn! This brother is fierce! Fierce beyond measure!!"
"So arrogant on someone else’s turf, I’m impressed!"
Listening to the crowd, Li Yu’s face turned red with anger, and she shouted, "I want you dead!"
Having said that, she lost her mind, drew her soft sword from her waist, and stabbed towards Qin Hao.
Qin Hao, expression unchanged, was about to make his move when a murderous intent suddenly enveloped the scene.
"Stop!"
In the moment the killing intent surged, a voice full of breath sounded from the outer edge of the crowd, like thunder.
Li Yu was stunned and turned her head, looking at a certain spot in the crowd, her face delighted: "Master!"
The crowd was astonished, and a pathway was quickly opened up.
In the pathway, a middle-aged Daoist in a white robe with a handlebar mustache and eyes like knives walked over.
Behind him were a few guards maintaining order. Each of them wielded swords and emitted a strong presence, surprisingly stronger than the younger disciples of Jade Stone Sect.
"Foolish disciple."
The Daoist walked to Li Yu’s side, patted her head with his hand, and said, "Didn’t I tell you? In the path of cultivation, boldness and progress are necessary, but knowing when to advance and retreat is also crucial."
"Master, this disciple doesn’t quite understand." Li Yu’s face showed grievance as she pointed at Qin Hao: "This hateful bastard not only injured Senior Brother He but also insulted me. I just wanted to teach him a lesson..."
"Ah, I know the reasons as well." Jade Stone Daoist’s face showed affection: "But alas, you’re not his match, so today you’re wrong. You should have waited for me to decide."
Though knowing her master’s words were true, Li Yu felt bitter.
"Alright, don’t be sad, I’m here to avenge you." Jade Stone Daoist comforted Li Yu, then squatted in front of He Yugang.
"Mas...ter..." He Yugang looked up, his voice trembling.
"Ah, foolish disciple, you!" Jade Stone Daoist showed a distressed expression, took out an Elixir, and stuffed it into He Yugang’s mouth.
After swallowing, He Yugang’s originally pale face began to regain color. His dazed eyes became more focused. It seemed his injuries were healing rapidly.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
"Such powerful healing effects, what kind of Elixir is this?"
"That’s a Peiyuan Pill, Yellow-grade Elixir, infinitely close to Profound Tier."
"My God, is this the boldness of Jade Stone Sect? Using a Divine-level Elixir so close to Profound Tier just like that?"
"You don’t understand, Jade Stone Daoist is a renowned Alchemy Master. For us, this is a treasure, but for him, it’s merely a consumable."
All were stunned by Jade Stone Daoist’s wealth and boldness.
Hearing the discussion, the disciples of Jade Stone Sect held their heads high with pride.
Li Yu looked at Qin Hao triumphantly and cursed, "Little scoundrel, now my master is here, I want to see how you..."
Halfway through her words, Qin Hao interrupted coldly again: "Shut up, you little bitch!"
Though seemingly calm, his words thundered.
Li Yu’s face froze again.
On-site, no one dared to speak.
The atmosphere returned to tranquility.
In the silence, the bystanders were amazed.
This brother is too bold!
Even with Jade Stone Daoist here, dare to be so arrogant?
Unbelievable!
On the other side, after ensuring He Yugang was fine, Jade Stone Daoist stood up, frowned, and stared at Qin Hao.
This young man’s strength was extraordinary.
His composed demeanor revealed it.
Martial Arts practiced to a certain extent.
Though it appeared lacking in momentum, just sensing his deep Power, one could feel the strong vitality and spirit hidden beneath.
Qin Hao seemed ordinary, but the vitality and spirit he displayed were like a blazing sun.
Jade Stone Daoist understood.
This young man’s strength wouldn’t be less than his own.
This realization made him feel uneasy.
After forty years of cultivation to achieve success.
Yet, he accomplished it in less than twenty years?
What’s going on!
"Young man, daring to provoke Jade Stone Sect, are you ready to accept punishment?" Jade Stone Daoist suppressed his displeasure and looked at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao didn’t answer the question, instead saying: "Hope you don’t dawdle like your useless disciples. If you want to fight or kill, do it quickly."
"Good!" Jade Stone Daoist laughed angrily: "Haven’t encountered such a brave person for a long time."
"Old monkey, no need to flatter me. If you’re bold, come over and fight." Qin Hao continued mocking coldly.
Jade Stone Daoist’s heart trembled, thinking how can this young man be so unyielding? Is he crazy?
He originally wanted to exchange a few words to identify the opponent’s sect and see if they could resolve the issue more "peacefully."
After all, he wasn’t 100% confident in taking on Qin Hao.
But now, Qin Hao’s words were very direct, leaving no chance for a peaceful resolution.
Jade Stone Daoist was truly enraged.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You juniors aren’t worthy of my action."
