There is no calendar day in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold weather.
Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Qin Hao has reached the age of sixteen and has grown from a seven-year-old boy into a handsome young man.
During these nine years, Ye Liuyun taught everything he had learned throughout his life. Coupled with the unique geographical environment of Wufeng Mountain, Qin Hao also successfully advanced to the ninth level a year ago.
Based on the energy density of Wufeng Mountain, Qin Hao speculated that this was probably one of the locations of the original nuclear explosion, which was also the main reason why Ye Liuyun chose to live in seclusion here.
Of course, Qin Hao has not always stayed in Wufeng Mountain in the past nine years. As a great master, Ye Liuyun naturally understands that working behind closed doors is not the right thing to do when going out.
After Qin Hao was promoted to the eighth level warrior in the third year after coming to Wufeng Mountain, he would spend half a year traveling with him around the world every year.
Five years ago, Ye Liuyun brought Qin Hao to Dongyi City to challenge Sigu Swordsman Yun Zhilan, who was already a ninth-grade master at the time.
At that time, everyone in Dongyi City believed that Yun Zhilan would win, and some even offered Qin Hao super high odds of betting one out of eight, but very few people bought Qin Hao's victory.
It wasn't until the last day that a mysterious man bet Qin Hao one thousand taels of gold, and the odds were raised.
Just when everyone thought this mysterious man was out of his mind.
In the sword-lu battle in Dongyi City, Qin Hao faced Yun Zhilan's swordsmanship with his bare hands, but the result was shocking.
The two sides fought for thirty rounds, and in the end Qin Hao relied on his domineering Qi combined with the dragon-shaped collapse fist power of Xingyi Quan to knock down the long sword in Yun Zhilan's hand.
After the defeat, Yun Zhilan made a vow that he would never take a single step out of Sword Reed until he reached the ninth level.
After this battle, Qin Hao's name was spread all over the world. He had an unprecedented record of defeating the ninth grade by leapfrogging the eighth grade. He was also given the title of No. 1 in the eighth grade by good people.
Some people are even sure that if Qin Hao is promoted to the ninth level, he will definitely be the first in the ninth level in terms of combat power and will be invincible under the Grand Master.
However, after this battle, Qin Hao followed Ye Liuyun back to Wufeng Mountain to continue his training, and his traces were temporarily lost in the world.
Until four years ago, Ye Liuyun took Qin Hao to Northern Qi to meet the great master Ku He.
Lang Tao, the great disciple of Ku He, took the initiative to challenge Qin Hao.
Although there were no outsiders watching the battle at that time, from then on, Lang Tao never appeared in the sight of outsiders again.
According to outside speculation, Lang Tao was also defeated by Qin Hao in this battle and has been practicing diligently next to Ku He ever since.
In fact, in the battle that day, Lang Tao was knocked out of his hand by the chain ax without even catching Qin Hao's ten moves. It was not that he was inferior to Yun Zhilan, but that Qin Hao had made great progress compared to a year ago.
Faced with the terrifying potential shown by Qin Hao, Northern Qi originally planned to let Ku He keep Qin Hao, but Ku He knew that he had no confidence in defeating Ye Liuyun, and his favorite disciple Lang Tao had been in Qin Hao's hands for ten consecutive years. Unable to survive the move, he persuaded the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi to give up the idea.
After this battle, Qin Hao disappeared from the outside world again.
Until three years ago, the Goshawk Tribe, one of the three major barbarian tribes, invaded on a large scale, burning, killing, and looting along the way. A young man came out of the blue. He first single-handedly killed the 500 pioneers of the Goshawk Tribe, and then killed all the Goshawk Tribes.
The tribe marched to the big tent, among thousands of troops and horses, and killed Yesu Timur, the chief leader of the Goshawk tribe, overnight.
Buried with the great leader were a thousand Goshawk knights, the most elite members of the Goshawk tribe.
At this point, the Goshawk Tribe was reduced from one of the three major barbarian tribes to a small tribe that could only rely on the barbarian King Zuoxian.
According to the news from some barbarian traders who came to Dongyi City to sell horses, the young man who rushed into the Goshawk Tribe's tent and killed the leader was dressed in green and was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He did not have any weapons in his hands.
A pair of fleshy palms can kill the Goshawk tribe's men and make them stand on their backs.
The outside world unanimously believes that there is only one person who meets all the above conditions, and that is Qin Hao.
But what puzzled everyone was that from then on, Qin Hao never appeared in public view again. Occasionally, there were people who showed off in the arena wearing Tsing Yi, but in the end they were all confirmed to be impostors by shameless people. Why did these people do this?
The reason why it was confirmed to be a fake is very simple. Everyone in the world said that Qin Hao was the best in eighth-level combat. Naturally, there were those who were unconvinced and wanted to compete with him.
There are all eighth-grade masters here, and there are even ninth-grade masters who have taken action. And if these deceitful people are really powerful, why would they bother to pretend? At the least, they will be severely punished, and at worst, they will die on the spot.
From then on, impersonating Qin Hao became a high-risk profession, and no one in the world dared to do so anymore.
In the past three years, the reason why Qin Hao has not appeared again is also very simple. Three years ago, he had reached the peak of the eighth level and was only one step away from the ninth level.
Although he possesses domineering Qi and Ye Liuyun's guidance, after all, he is still young and has insufficient background. Qin Hao has been stuck in the level of promotion to the ninth level for two years.
It was not until a year ago that Qin Hao successfully broke through and became a ninth-level warrior on a thunderstorm night.
After being promoted to the ninth level, the first thing Qin Hao did was challenge Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was also very aware of the strength of his apprentice and was not as merciful as usual.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun, who was fully fired, also made Qin Hao understand why the Grand Master was called a "humanoid nuclear weapon". This thing was not the same concept as the ninth grade.
If Qin Hao, who has been promoted to the ninth level, has a combat power of six thousand, then Ye Liuyun's combat power is at least one hundred thousand, and the amount of energy he can mobilize is not on the same level.
This was despite Ye Liuyun's mercy. Qin Hao couldn't even imagine what kind of horrific scene it would be if the Grand Master killed him.
However, Qin Hao was not discouraged. Others might choose to go around high mountains, but he insisted on climbing to the top.
So, in the next year, Qin Hao kept repeating the process of challenging Ye Liuyun, getting injured, recovering from his injuries, and challenging again.
During this period of time, although Qin Hao's Qi cultivation did not increase much, and he was still on the ninth level for the first time, his combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, through the battle with Ye Liuyun, he has also gained a better understanding of the Grand Master than anyone else in the world.
understanding.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, Qin Hao did not plan to go down the mountain so quickly. Until three days ago, Ye Liuyun received a secret letter, and then kicked Qin Hao down the mountain. Yes,
It was a literal kick down the mountain. Fortunately, Qin Hao was already a ninth-level warrior at this time. Otherwise, he might have turned into meat if he had fallen down.
"You brat, I have nothing more to teach you. Just go down the mountain by yourself."
"Hey, master, why don't you let me pack my luggage?"
"It's just a few rags. Go to Dongyi City and buy them yourself."
Qin Hao gathered his true energy in his right hand and gently grasped the cliff. The hard rock was inserted into the rock like tofu by his fingers. After stabilizing his body, Qin Hao heard the sound coming from the top of the mountain and adjusted his body shape helplessly.
Jump down.
The wind was blowing fast, the wind was whistling past his ears, and the goshawk was looming in the clouds. Qin Hao felt unprecedentedly happy and couldn't help but let out a long roar.
In an instant, the entire valley seemed to be shaking. With this voice, the thunderous sound of tigers and leopards and the amplification of domineering Qi, the monkeys foraging for food in the woods among the cliffs fell one after another as if they had been hit with a sap, and some left.
The approaching birds also fell off the cliff like raindrops.
"You brat, your skills have improved again. I'm afraid you're only a hair away from reaching the ninth level, right?"
"Hey, you kid, please don't get lost in the struggle for secular imperial power..."
"I don't know what your majesty is thinking about it. If you give this guy another twenty years, Nanqing will definitely have another great master. When the time comes, what will Northern Qi and Dongyi City have to resist?"
.......
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Danzhou, Fan Xian finally waited for the red-armored knight to appear.
However, not long after the red-armored knight arrived in Danzhou, he was assassinated. Although he used poison to restrain his assassin Teng Zijing, he was also shrouded in a bigger mystery. Who could forge the inspection agency?
secret order.
In order to find out the truth and find out the past of his mother Ye Qingmei, Fan Xian decided to go to the capital.
.......
On the other side, Qin Hao went straight to Dongyi City after going down the mountain. This time he didn't want to be in such a mess as when he came here. He had to get a horse anyway. It was outrageous that a ninth-level master had to rely on two legs to travel around the world.
.
However, Qin Hao was penniless now and was too embarrassed to steal, so he randomly found a casino and walked in.
"Come on~~~ I've made the purchase and left."
"Place your bets."
Qin Hao walked to a gambling table where dice was rolled. Seeing Qin Hao's majestic appearance and young age, the croupier of the casino decided that he was a fat sheep and invited him warmly.
"This young master, want to play a few tricks?"
Qin Hao said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I would like to play, but it's a pity that I don't have any money."
"Haha, young master is really good at joking."
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
The croupier said with a smile: "If you forget to bring your money, you can go home and get it again."
"I heard that casinos can lend money, can't you do that here?"
"Young master, if you want to borrow money, you have to take something as collateral, right? Otherwise, if you lose and refuse to admit it, who will we turn to to collect the debt?"
Qin Hao slowly put his hand on the gambling table.
"How much do you think my hand is worth?"
The croupier's face changed when he heard this: "Young master, are you sincerely here to ruin the situation?"
"What? Can't your casino be good at using it as collateral?"
Just when the dealer was in a dilemma, a gentle female voice came from behind.
"The casino is open for business. No matter what the gamblers want to bet on, we will accompany them to the end."
A woman wearing a veil walked to the gaming table, waved away the croupier, and sat down in front of Qin Hao.
"Then how much is my hand worth?"
The woman chuckled a few times: "The hand of a ninth-grade master is worth five hundred taels. What do you think, young master?"
The surrounding gamblers looked at him with suspicion after hearing this.
"Ninth-grade master? This kid doesn't even look like he's twenty years old, right?"
"Is there really such a young ninth-grade master in this world? I'm afraid I'm mistaken?"
Qin Hao turned a deaf ear to the comments of the gamblers around him, and looked around the veiled woman to the room behind her.
"It seems that your casino has a lot of background."
The veiled woman smiled and said: "So, young master, do you still want to gamble?"
"Bet, the price you gave is quite reasonable." Qin Hao casually sat down opposite the woman.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding gamblers rushed towards this gambling table. They can gamble at any time, but when watching a ninth-grade master gamble, the stake is still with one hand. This may be the only time in his life.
Soon, gamblers surrounded the gaming table with three levels inside and three outside.
The veiled woman smiled calmly at Qin Hao and said, "What is this young master planning to bet on?"
"Roll the dice, this is the easiest."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, the veiled woman said hello and was about to grab the dice, but she heard Qin Hao shout: Slow down.
"I would like to ask, if I lose but don't want to chop off this hand, are you sure you can keep me?"
The veiled woman was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "The Sihai Casino has been open in Dongyi City for so many years, and except for the Grand Master, there is no precedent for successfully defaulting on the bill."
"So confident?"
"Master, are you still betting?"
Qin Hao made a light gesture.
The veiled woman's smile faded: "Young master, bet big or small?"
"Bet small."
"good."
As soon as she finished speaking, the veiled woman picked up the dice cup and inserted the three dice into it. After shaking for a while, she slapped it on the gambling table, and then slowly opened it in the shocked eyes of the surrounding gamblers.
"One pillar holds the sky, but it only has one point."
"This young master is bound to lose. Even if he shakes out a little, it won't be bigger than the dealer."
However, under the surprised gazes of everyone, Qin Hao also picked up the dice cup and placed it on the gaming table with just a slight shake.
Qin Hao opened the dice cup and all three dice inside were shattered into powder.
The gamblers around were stunned, and even the veiled woman was dumbfounded.
"Is this still possible?"
"Isn't this too bad?"
"A ninth-level master can't just play around, right? What's the point of shattering the dice?"
Qin Hao smiled and said to the veiled woman: "Not at all. I win this round, right?"
The veiled woman said helplessly: "Young Master is superior in skills, and I am willing to fall behind."
As he spoke, he took out a five hundred tael silver note and presented it to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao took the banknote and nodded with satisfaction: "Then I won't be polite."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
The veiled woman suddenly stopped Qin Hao: "Master, don't you intend to give me a chance to save my face?"
"No, my master has taught me since I was a child that gambling and drug addiction are incompatible with each other. If I didn't have the money to travel, I would never gamble." After Qin Hao finished speaking, he tiptoed and did a backflip, like a flexible giant
The bird passed over the crowd of people watching behind the gambling table and left in a graceful manner.
Looking at Qin Hao's back, the veiled woman clenched her fists tightly, then stood up and walked to the room behind the casino.
"Miss, this slave deserves to die for ruining your good deeds."
In the room, a woman in black with a veil just smiled indifferently.
"I can't blame you for this. Who would have thought that a dignified ninth-grade master could be such a rogue and bully a weak woman who has no true energy at all."
However, the next second, a low shout came from the shadow of the room.
"who!"
Immediately afterwards, an ax was fired towards the window, and the window exploded from the middle in an instant.
A figure grasped an axe, and an invisible wave of air shook the room.
"In addition to Yun Zhilan, the swordsman who is looking around, there is a master like you in Dongyi City. Please report your name."
Qin Hao threw the ax to the other party: "Who are you?"
