"Yellow Wind Valley? Li Feiyu? Never heard of it."

Qin Hao raised his head and thought for a moment, only to find that he knew nothing about the two names Han Li had mentioned.

It seems this guy is a disciple of some hidden sect or family.
Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Hao did not attack him immediately upon seeing him.

However, Qin Hao's next words made his heart jump again.

"However... since we've met here, I should naturally ask for your guidance."

Qin Hao sized up Han Li, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes: "I am a member of the Qin Clan of the Immortal Mountain. Today I came to this secret realm not only to obtain the inheritance of a powerful figure, but also to find someone to hone my recent cultivation results. Fellow Daoist Li, how about we have a spar?"

Han Li's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You jest, sir. I am not good at fighting. I came to this secret realm only to find spiritual herbs and precious medicines to refine pills. I have no intention of fighting with anyone."

As he spoke, he took two steps back, wishing he could immediately crush the escape talisman and run away.

I've been hiding and concealing myself carefully enough.

Unexpectedly, upon appearing, he encountered a madman just like Lin Dong, who wanted to start a fight as soon as he met someone.

This is incredibly bad luck!
Qin Hao didn't believe Han Li's words. He pointed to the Heavenly Demon Puppets standing guard beside Han Li and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Li, stop pretending. If you're just here to gather herbs, why do you have so many puppet guards? Each of these puppets has a strong aura. Someone who can possess so many puppets must be a core disciple of some hidden family or sect."

He paused, then added, "Moreover... I can also sense the aura of the Beast Fang Life Talisman on you. This is something that only core disciples and the first generation can possess. Fellow Daoist Li, please don't be modest."

Han Li inwardly groaned.

This young man looks quite young, but his observation skills are so sharp that he can even sense the aura of the beast tooth life talisman!
Han Li wanted to say a few more words in his defense, but Qin Hao didn't give him the chance at all!

"Fellow Daoist Li, I request to fight!"

Qin Hao let out a low shout, and his body shone brightly with silver light. A set of silver armor appeared out of thin air and instantly enveloped his entire body.

This armor is the most precious treasure of the Qin clan, the armor of immortality.

"—Buzz!"

at the same time.

A silver-white spear also appeared in Qin Hao's hand.

Qin Hao's cultivation level was originally only at the Array Formation Realm, but with the blessing of the Longevity Battle Armor, his aura instantly soared to the Venerable Realm, and it continues to rise.

Han Li's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

He never expected that this seemingly fair-skinned young man would have so many hidden strengths.

"—Clang!"

While he was thinking, Qin Hao had already charged forward with his gun. His spear moved like a dragon, whistling through the air, and aimed straight at Han Li's face.

Han Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back.

With a thought, the ten Heavenly Demon Puppets beside him moved simultaneously, blocking his way.

"Clang clang clang!"

The spear tip collided with the puppet, producing a piercing metallic clang.

The three Heavenly Demon Puppets were forced back several steps by the shock, but Qin Hao's attack was also stopped.

"What a tough puppet!"

Qin Hao's eyes lit up; far from being annoyed, he became even more excited.

But Han Li wasn't excited at all.

He knew that these puppets alone could not hold off Qin Hao for long.

This guy's armor and spear are no ordinary items, and he's incredibly fast and ruthless. He might have other trump cards up his sleeve.

With that thought in mind, Han Li no longer hesitated and patted his storage bag: "Bring them all out!"

In an instant, over a hundred more Heavenly Demon Puppets emerged from the storage bag, densely packed around Qin Hao, completely surrounding him. "There are even more puppets?"

Qin Hao's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of surprise finally appeared on his face, but he quickly smiled again: "Good, this is more interesting!"

He flicked his spear and charged into the group of puppets.

More than two hundred Heavenly Demon Puppets moved out at once, attacking Qin Hao from all directions with fists, palms, and claws.

Although their attacks were singular, each strike possessed the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Coupled with their sheer number, they momentarily overwhelmed Qin Hao, leaving him somewhat flustered.

Han Li retreated outside the battle circle, observing the battle situation intently, while using his divine sense to control the movements of each puppet, ensuring that they cooperated perfectly and gave Qin Hao no chance to catch his breath.

"The coordination of these puppets... is so exquisite?"

Qin Hao became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

He discovered that although the individual strength of these puppets was far inferior to his own, the coordination between them was seamless. Some were used to restrain him from the front, some to harass him from the side, and some to launch surprise attacks from behind. Their movements were orderly, just like a well-trained army.

Although he was protected by the Longevity Armor and blessed with immortal bones, he was quickly overwhelmed by the attack of more than two hundred puppets.

Han Li looked at the situation on the field, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He is an extremely cautious person.

These Heavenly Demon Puppets were his trump cards. Now that he had used them, he absolutely could not let this Qin Clan member leave alive. Otherwise, if his trump cards were exposed, it would be even more difficult for him to move around in this secret realm in the future.

Upon realizing this, Han Li immediately activated the Azure Origin Sword Technique, summoning the seventy-two Golden Thunder Bamboo Swords he had forged.

"—Great Geng Sword Formation—Condensed!"

Han Li formed hand seals, and seventy-two Golden Thunder Bamboo Swords flew out simultaneously, forming an exquisite sword formation above Qin Hao's head.

The sword formation slowly rotated, its sword energy crisscrossing and enveloping Qin Hao.

"You actually know about formations..."

Qin Hao's expression changed drastically.

He could sense that the power of this sword formation was terrifying. Once it landed, even with the protection of his Longevity Battle Armor, he would likely be in grave danger.

"I've strengthened this Great Geng Sword Formation. Even if it can't kill this person, it will definitely severely injure him..."

A cold glint flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he was about to activate the sword formation.

But just then, a message tagging him suddenly popped up in the chat group:
[Shi Hao: @Han Li, Brother Han, please have mercy! That man is my younger brother!]

Han Li's fingers stiffened.

what?
younger brother?

He glanced at Qin Hao instinctively, his mind racing.

Shi Hao's surname is Shi, while the young man in front of him is a member of the Qin clan. How could these two people be brothers?
Although Han Li was puzzled, he stopped what he was doing.

Seventy-two golden thunder bamboo swords hovered in mid-air, and the sword formation stopped operating.

Qin Hao noticed the change in the sword formation, looked up at Han Li, his eyes full of doubt: "Why did you stop?"

Han Li didn't answer, but instead glanced at the messages in the group chat.

[Shi Hao: Brother Han, that man's name is Qin Hao, my younger brother. He was born into the Qin clan, so he took his mother's surname. Although we don't have much of a brotherly bond, he is still family. Please, Brother Han, show mercy!]

[Han Li: Since this person is a relative of Brother Shi Hao, I naturally will not harm him...]

Han Li replied to Shi Hao in the group chat, then looked up at Qin Hao and said calmly, "Do you know Shi Hao from the Lower Realm Wilderness?"
