Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Is Qin Hao Really This Monstrous?

Zhai Nanyi understood Qin Hao’s intentions upon hearing his words. He intended to drive out the older members of the court and establish his own autocratic rule.

More precisely, to establish an autocracy shared between him and Ye Lingyi.

Zhai Nanyi had neither the strength nor opportunity to resist. Though his family had many members in military positions, Qin Hao’s prestige in the army was at its zenith, unassailable, and quite terrifying.

He ultimately agreed with Qin Hao because he saw through the current situation.

The current state was that those who followed Qin Hao would live, and those who opposed him would perish!

If the Zhai Family wished to continue developing, they had to fully comply with Qin Hao’s wishes. This may even make them stronger, but it would be impossible to escape his control. However, non-compliance would lead to the Zhai Family’s decline.

Everyone present understood Qin Hao’s intentions, and quickly reconsidered their own paths, for even the State Duke had submitted; they too should now think carefully about their futures.

Qin Hao dismissed them shortly after, and upon understanding Qin Hao’s intentions, Zhai Nanyi took his leave.

The other officials also left one after another. Although Qin Hao did not say much, everyone understood his meaning.

The morning court the next day.

State Duke Zhai Nanyi cited his age as a reason to resign and retire, which surprised many. Had the Zhai Family submitted?

Not only State Duke Zhai Nanyi, but State Duke Gao Yuan also submitted his resignation to retire.

Ye Lingyi initially urged them to reconsider, but as they insisted, she had to agree and rewarded them with some Spirit Stones and Divine Skills for their contributions to the dynasty.

The court officials roughly understood the situation now.

Qin Hao dominated the military, and the newly established five major armies were almost entirely comprised of his men. Now, only the dynasty remained, and he and Ye Lingyi were reorganizing the court.

Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi indeed meant to ensure no future worries, hence certain influential people had to be removed from the court, as they had been promoted by most of them.

Several State Dukes resigned and retired consecutively over the next few days, while Ye Lingyi began recruiting talent to inject fresh blood.

Examinations for talents in Formation, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining were in full swing, with a constant stream of candidates, and quite a few talents were recruited.

...

On the morning of the fourth day, the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army arrived dozens of miles outside the royal city.

Black banners fluttered in the wind, as the million-strong army advanced toward the royal city with a distinctive rhythm, stopping a few miles away.

The city walls and streets were lined with soldiers of the God Demon Army, their expressions calm, exuding an aura of solemnity and grim determination.

After numerous battles, their fighting spirit and aura had undergone a tremendous transformation.

On the city wall, Qin Hao, Lan Manshuang, Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and others stood watching the Xuanqing Dynasty’s troops below.

Li Xuanqing called out from the army, "Qin Hao, I give you one last chance to surrender the city, or else blood will be spilled in Skyfire City."

Qin Hao: "Li Xuanqing, none of you will escape today."

In the past few days, he had learned through the Yunv Sect that the Demon God Sect was not particularly strong, once an influential force on the Southern Continent.

However, due to numerous atrocious acts, they were hunted by many sects and greatly weakened; the Sect Master at the time was killed, leaving only a few old and weak to escape. Unexpectedly, they have now emerged in the Xuanqing Dynasty.

Many powers have emerged these days, with few investigating the Xuanqing Dynasty’s side, so not many people are aware.

"Qin Hao, do you dare to come down and fight?"

Li Xuanqing shouted from below; Qin Hao was now the backbone of the Skyfire Dynasty. If they toppled him, the dynasty would fall into chaos.

Ye Lingyi worriedly said, "Qin Hao, do not act recklessly. The Demon God Sect must have set a trap, waiting for you to fall into it."

Dong Mengqi also nodded: "Our chances exceed sixty percent if we rely on the God Demon Army to fight them. As long as we hold off their experts, the God Demon Army can crush the Xuanqing Dynasty’s forces within a few hours."

Qin Hao faintly said: "No worries, I want to see what tricks they can muster."

Saying this, Qin Hao flew out to the front of the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army.

He looked at Li Xuanqing, filled with killing intent: "Come and meet your death!"

Li Xuanqing had no courage to step forward, but a black-robed figure flew out beside him.

This was an early-stage Extreme Realm expert, with an unstable aura, apparently having just broken through to the Extreme Realm: "Today I shall slay you, absorb your blood essence, and bolster my power."

Qin Hao disdainfully: "A mere waste, I can kill a few more like you."

"A mere Peak Realm Late Stage and you dare to be arrogant? Courting death."

The black-robed figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, charging at Qin Hao, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Although Qin Hao’s strength was formidable, the black-robed figure thought he could kill him within ten moves, given their vast realm gap. Could Qin Hao, defying the heavens, still cross such a wide boundary to resist him?

"Bang, bang, bang"

In a flash, Qin Hao and the black-robed person exchanged seven or eight palm strikes, neither yielding an inch,

The black-robed person’s eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Qin Hao: "I didn’t expect your combat power to be this terrifying, nearing an Extreme Realm expert’s strength. But you still must die. Earlier, I only used seventy percent of my strength."

"Kill!"

Qin Hao could not be bothered with him, his voice icy and murderous intent exposed.

He actively engaged, his left hand wielding the Heavenly Gang Palm Seal, and right hand the Earth Evil Fist Seal, the brilliance dazzling, and the aura terrifying.

The War God Skill Divine Skills activated immediately, enhancing his combat prowess as he shone with a golden light, incredibly dazzling, appearing as a supreme War God descending upon the world.

After over a dozen rounds, the black-robed person was shaken by Qin Hao’s seals and fists, spitting blood powerlessly.

Utterly horrified, the black-robed person wondered how someone at the Peak Realm Late Stage could be so strong—how was this possible?

"Bang"

Qin Hao’s seal collided with the black-robed person’s seal.

"Crack"

The black-robed person’s arm was shattered, blood spurted from his mouth, and simultaneously, Qin Hao’s War God Spear pierced his chest.

Li Xuanqing’s face changed dramatically as four figures flew out to rescue him as the black-robed person was about to be slain, but they were one step too late.

"Stop being arrogant, young man."

These were four Extreme Realm experts, two early-stage, and two mid-stage. Upon appearing, they formed a Combined Attack Formation to encircle Qin Hao.

On the city wall, Ye Lingyi’s expression changed slightly: "What should we do? The Demon God Sect has so many Extreme Realm experts."

Lan Manshuang calmly said: "No need to worry, these four may not necessarily be his match."

Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and the nearby ministers Wu Yang felt shock in their hearts. Four Extreme Realm experts were not necessarily a match for Qin Hao? Was Qin Hao really so monstrous?
