Before rushing out of the cave, Qin Hao already sensed something was off. The moment he burst out, his speed suddenly increased, allowing him to dodge the incoming katana.
At the same time, the long saber in his hand was unsheathed, and with a draw-and-slash, he met the bullet flying towards him.
"Bang!" The instant it collided with the bullet, the long saber sliced it open, sending the halves flying to either side behind Qin Hao. Just as Qin Hao evaded two attacks, another saber light struck.
Qin Hao exerted force with his feet, his speed abruptly decreasing as he rapidly retreated, dodging the long saber while simultaneously attacking the two martial artists behind him.
As Qin Hao retreated, the two martial artists behind him also swiftly launched their attacks. After their long sabers clashed, Qin Hao's figure rapidly fell back.
"Brat, you chose the path to hell when the gates of heaven were open! Today, you'll surely be staying here!" No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Three God Ancestors in front exchanged glances and charged directly at Qin Hao.
Meanwhile, the sniper hidden in the distance also began to fire.
Qin Hao dared not be careless in the slightest. His figure moved rapidly, making it impossible for the sniper to aim, while simultaneously attacking the Three God Ancestors directly. After yesterday's battle, Qin Hao already understood the Three God Ancestors' strength very well; their threat to him was quite limited.
However, the coordination between the Three God Ancestors and the sniper forced Qin Hao to constantly be on guard for potential bullets. Nevertheless, this state of constant vigilance made Qin Hao's focus even sharper, his saber techniques smoother, and every calculation of attack and movement reached its peak.
"Damn it!" As Qin Hao's response to the attacks became easier, the Three Little Japan's faces grew even uglier. What they had expected to be an easy fight had unexpectedly devolved into this situation. In two engagements, they hadn't gained any advantage, and even this time, with four people coordinating, they hadn't caused Qin Hao the slightest trouble.
"We can't drag this out any longer!" Among the Three God Ancestors in close combat with Qin Hao, one of them revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes, pulled out a tube of red potion, and after a moment's hesitation, directly swallowed it.
As he ingested the potion, a strange bloody aura rose from his body, and his eyes were completely consumed by madness. Seeing their companion's appearance, the remaining two quickly retreated.
"Bang!" Qin Hao felt a powerful force strike him, and he rapidly retreated, looking at the frenzied Little Japan before him with great surprise.
However, Qin Hao felt no panic. Although his strength had increased, his attacks had lost their original coherence, clearly indicating that his mind was affected, much like a berserk state.
At the same time, the other two Little Japan also drank a tube of red potion and charged at Qin Hao.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
At this moment, the only thing left for the Three God Ancestors was their will to kill, and they attacked Qin Hao maniacally. Even without much coordination, the increase in the Three God Ancestors' strength made Qin Hao feel somewhat strained.
The Three God Ancestors' strength had increased from intermediate-level Warlord to high-level Warlord; in fact, Qin Hao felt they were even stronger than his full power when unleashing the third level of Ninefold Thunderblade.
Coupled with the sniper's intermittent attacks from a distance, Qin Hao also found himself a bit stretched.
However, facing a dangerous situation, Qin Hao instead felt a breakthrough, as if his entire being became excited. There is great terror between life and death; while it was not yet a life-or-death situation, the constantly increasing pressure made Qin Hao feel as if his potential was continuously being unleashed.
His Micro-level movement technique became more proficient, his Specialized-level saber technique continuously improved, and the previously obscure parts of Ninefold Thunderblade also became familiar, making its execution smoother.
The appearance of each layer of hidden force in Ninefold Thunderblade, besides understanding Ninefold Thunderblade and executing hidden force, also involved control over the body. Even if one understood Ninefold Thunderblade, very few people could continuously unleash it.
After all, hidden force is an explosion of power, a test of physical quality. In the cultivation of Inner Force and national martial arts, hidden force is also difficult to unleash continuously. However, during the battle, Qin Hao felt that his control over hidden force was continuously improving.
"Rigidity cannot last; strong bursts only increase the burden. Only an endless life force can endure." As Qin Hao fought, he gained new insights into Ninefold Thunderblade. With the continuous improvement of his understanding, Qin Hao's saber technique gradually changed; it was still the moves of Ninefold Thunderblade, and the way he exerted force was very similar, but it had also changed.
Now, every saber strike Qin Hao unleashed fully utilized the third and fourth layers of hidden force of Ninefold Thunderblade. Moreover, the impact of each hidden force on his body was decreasing, and his muscles and bones were continuously strengthening under the impact of the hidden force.
"Hmph!" With a fierce shout, the power on his long saber suddenly increased. Beyond the four layers of hidden force, another layer of hidden force emerged—five layers of hidden force, 3.5 times the power, which increased the speed of the long saber again, directly attacking the Three God Ancestors who were surrounding him.
Ninefold Thunderblade, Fourth Level!!
The increase in power allowed Qin Hao to instantly seize the initiative in the battle. His speed suddenly increased, and his figure disappeared from his original spot, rapidly approaching the sniper in the distance.
Originally, although the Three God Ancestors could not defeat Qin Hao, they could still hold him back by relying on their coordination. Now, the Three God Ancestors' power had increased, but they had entered a berserk state where they only knew how to attack, and their control over Qin Hao's state rapidly declined.
The Three God Ancestors now posed no threat to Qin Hao, but the sniper in the distance was constantly holding him back. Every time Qin Hao wanted to end the battle, the sniper's attack from a distance would arrive, forcing Qin Hao to respond.
Seeing Qin Hao approaching him, the sniper also grew nervous. He immediately swapped his sniper rifle for a Vulcan series, unleashing a barrage of bullets towards Qin Hao.
Facing the hail of bullets before him, Qin Hao's Micro-level movement technique was pushed to its limit. His figure constantly shifted, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, creating a series of afterimages between the changes in speed.
Amidst the hail of bullets, Qin Hao's speed was unaffected in the slightest. Qin Hao covered the several hundred meters in a few seconds, appearing in front of the sniper, and with a swing of his long saber, he directly cut the rifle in half.
Seeing Qin Hao suddenly appear before him, the sniper retreated, simultaneously drawing a katana from his back.
"Baka! I am the heir of the Yanagawa family! You cannot kill me!" Yanagawa Taro shouted as he saw Qin Hao attacking him. However, Qin Hao did not hesitate in the slightest. His long saber slashed out with full force, instantly cutting across Yanagawa Taro's throat.
After dealing with Yanagawa Taro, Qin Hao retreated and attacked the three frenzied Little Japan behind him. Without the sniper's restraint, Qin Hao's attacks met no obstacles. His formidable strength directly overwhelmed the Three God Ancestors. Three saber lights slashed out, each striking a different one of the Three God Ancestors' throats, completing their elimination.
After eliminating the Three God Ancestors, Qin Hao did not rush to leave but carefully observed the surrounding situation. Knowing about the backdoor in the communicator from the original work, Qin Hao had already left his communicator in 0201 County when he was tracking them.
"It's actually essence of vegetation!" Qin Hao's attention was quickly drawn to a plant in the center of the cave.
