Chapter 1216: Qin Hao Killed?
Qin Hao's forehead also broke out in sweat, but his condition was still manageable; the top-tier Spiritual Body was not just for show.
"Young master, I really can't go on. Let me enter that space," the demon bird crow quickly said.
If it weren't for this creature being somewhat useful, Qin Hao wouldn't have bothered to save it.
He brought the demon bird crow into the system space, where conditions weren't as dire.
Qin Hao used his physical strength to quickly move outside, and even without using Spiritual Energy internally, he found that his Spiritual Energy was gradually draining away.
After a day's journey, the sun in the sky remained unchanged, still hanging high; here, there was no Hei Ye, only daylight.
Qin Hao's body Spiritual Energy almost entirely dissipated after a day; without Spiritual Energy, his vitality began to vanish, which surprised Qin Hao. This place was too bizarre, and he had to leave quickly.
He exchanged some Replenishing Spirit Elixirs in the system shop, and after replenishing his Spiritual Energy, his vitality stopped dwindling.
Qin Hao dared not linger too long and traveled overnight. He activated his spatial Mecha, increasing his speed to the extreme, flying outward. With the spatial Mecha, Qin Hao found the rate of Spiritual Energy loss slowed.
Three days later, Qin Hao stopped again to replenish his Spiritual Energy, cursing, "What the hell kind of place is this?"
While replenishing his Spiritual Energy, Qin Hao frowned at the sun above, wondering if he had gone the wrong way, going deeper in instead?
It shouldn't be; my direction should have always been heading east.
Just then, a strange sound emerged from the black sand hundreds of meters ahead.
Qin Hao's face froze, raising his head to look forward; something was tunneling toward him from beneath the black sand at incredible speed.
"Whoosh"
Qin Hao flew into the air, a huge black lizard, over a dozen yards long, drilled up from the spot he had just stood; it had double wings on its back, was covered with black scales, and looked menacingly terrifying.
"Hiss hiss hiss"
The giant black lizard hissed at Qin Hao, spewing some black sand particles from its mouth, forming a massive net that enveloped Qin Hao.
Upon seeing this black giant lizard, Qin Hao was already certain of the place; this should be one of the continent's four dangerous territories, the Endless Desert.
He initially had some hunch but was uncertain; however, seeing this black giant lizard, Qin Hao confirmed it; such demon lizards exist solely in the Endless Desert.
These are very powerful demons; they can cultivate within the black desert, absorbing the rampaging power of this land; but cultivators cannot do that. If the Spiritual Energy depletes, they are doomed, relying solely on elixirs for replenishment.
The War God spear appeared in Qin Hao's hand, firing several spear beams, slicing through the giant net made of black sand particles.
After making a move, Qin Hao felt the overwhelming pressure this land imparted on cultivators; usually, these spear beams wouldn't consume much Spiritual Energy, but now the consumption was more than ten times normal, which was overwhelmingly terrifying.
This black demon lizard had Mahayana Realm strength, its combat power here comparable to a Supreme Realm expert!
Qin Hao immediately turned to flee; fighting was impossible here.
The demon lizard spread its wings and pursued Qin Hao directly; its speed was fast, but Qin Hao's spatial Mecha was faster.
If it were other cultivators, their Spiritual Energy would deplete after flying a short distance; but Qin Hao was using the spatial Mecha's power device, and here the sunlight was strong enough, he didn't need to replace energy stones, the spatial Mecha could directly absorb sunlight for energy replenishment.
Had Qin Hao not had the spatial Mecha and system, he would definitely have died here this time; this teleportation talisman was a real killer; he wasn't killed by those people but nearly died because of the teleportation talisman.
The demon lizard had chased for a while when it sensed something amiss; under normal circumstances, a cultivator's Spiritual Energy shouldn't last long; why was he still flying? Was his Spiritual Energy abundant? Then let him fly awhile longer; when his Spiritual Energy dries up, it'll be time for easy pickings.
...
Southern Continent, Tiandi City.
A message spread rapidly within Tiandi City: Qin Hao was intercepted and killed en route to the Central Continent, and now has reportedly been slain.
This news shook Tiandi City dramatically.
Xian Yin, Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and Ling'er heard the news, immediately sending aurastone transmissions to Qin Hao but found them unreachable.
There were only two explanations: either Qin Hao was dead, or the distance was too far,
"What can we do if we can't reach him? The young master might really be in trouble, right?" Xian Yin anxiously said.
Ye Lingyi and Dong Mengqi frowned, puzzled by the lack of contact; even if Qin Hao went toward the Central Continent as fast as possible, he certainly wouldn't have reached yet, it's only been a month, it should take at least three months or so.
If we can't contact him, then there's only one outcome: Qin Hao was really killed.
Nangong Yuya and Lan Manshuang arrived at Hidden Dragon Hall at once, asking, "How is Mr. Qin?"
Ye Lingyi, with somber eyes, gently shook her head: "Can't connect."
Lan Manshuang took a deep breath, "Qin Hao has many means, he couldn't possibly be in trouble."
Nangong Yuya, knowing Lan Manshuang couldn't accept this reality, said, "Mr. Qin is wise and resourceful; he should be okay."
On the other side, inside Danqing Palace, Zhou Danqing heard the news too; her first reaction was disbelief, but the news spread quickly, it wasn't baseless; she stared blankly out the window, is this how you die? Weren't you supposed to come back and be responsible for me?
She quickly responded, with a fleeting flash of dejection in her eyes, and promptly reported to her father.
Later, Hell Organization spoke out, officially announcing: Qin Hao was indeed killed by our Hell Organization, now utterly obliterated, remains gone.
Hell Organization's announcement caused tremendous upheaval in Tiandi City.
"The top prodigy of Tiandi City, Qin Hao, is actually dead, and he was killed by Hell Organization, this news is shocking."
"The top prodigy of Southern Continent, Qin Hao, actually got killed? He was with the Heaven and Earth Sect; Hell Organization has completely antagonized Heaven and Earth Sect. How could the Heaven and Earth Sect possibly let them off?"
"I always felt Qin Hao was too conspicuous, overly rigid and bound to break eventually, such a talent, what a pity."
"He offended too many factions; who knows which power hired Hell Organization."
"Putting aside other matters, Qin Hao's combat strength was undeniably formidable; among his peers, hardly anyone could suppress him."
News of Qin Hao's death spread swiftly, Hell Organization's reputation surged again; killing even the Heaven and Earth Sect, this Hell Organization is growing increasingly terrifying.
