Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 175 The Dark Alliance, is that all?
"It's time to get serious!"

The people around him were filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

A major war could be said to be imminent.

Meanwhile, in the capital, the Xu family—Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er—looked extremely anxious.

If Xu Hao isn't woken up soon, the Dark Alliance will directly attack the inner city and the palace, and then there will definitely be a bloodbath.

"I'll go wake Xu Hao!" Seeing the three women struggling, Xu Qianzhi stood up and ran towards Xu Hao's room.

"calls me?"

With a creak, the door opened, revealing Xu Hao with a puzzled expression.

But the next second, Xu Hao raised his head and looked out of the capital.

"They've already come to my door, why didn't you call me sooner?"

A voice rang out, and before Xuan Qingxiao and the others could even rejoice, Xu Hao had already soared into the sky.

"Ten, nine... three..."

The instant Gou Buxiao began his countdown, everyone saw a figure fly out of the Xu residence, quickly soar into the sky, and then head straight for the Dark Alliance.

"They're here!" the crowd around shouted excitedly.

A battle between spirit-level beings is extremely rare.

Their purpose in coming to the Great Xuan Dynasty was to observe this great battle.

Now, it's finally about to happen.

"They're here!" At the same time, in front of the specially made platform of the Dark Alliance, the experts of the Dark Alliance grinned.

"Alliance Leader, let me weigh this kid's abilities?" Gou Buxiao immediately asked obsequiously.

He was also at the Spirit Rank, although he had been forcibly promoted by external forces and his progress was somewhat superficial, but he had still reached the Spirit Rank after all.

Moreover, his system is also unorthodox, extremely effective against martial arts. As long as a martial artist's spirit is insufficient, he can subdue them in one move.

When the time comes, you may kill or torture me as you see fit.

"Yes! Go!" Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance, sat steadily in the main seat and simply uttered a soft voice.

Someone went to weigh and integrate his meaning.

He also wanted to see what Xu Hao was capable of.

Even if Gou Buxiao loses, as long as he can force Xu Hao to reveal some of his trump cards, he won't lose out.

He came fully prepared, but battle is always risky.

Therefore, it's always good to be cautious.

Whoosh.

The moment Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance, finished speaking, Gou Buxiao also took a step forward and soared into the sky.

boom.

A powerful surge of evil energy.

An endless aura rose into the air, turning a large area into a pitch-black color.

Even the blazing sun in the sky cannot penetrate the dark energy.

Whoosh.

Xu Hao landed in the sky outside the capital. He did not attack rashly, but looked around to check the specific situation of the Dark Alliance.

Since he said he was coming to establish his authority, he had to do it to the extreme.

To avoid being constantly provoked by others, preventing him from properly seeking opportunities.

"Xu Hao, you brat, come here and prepare to die!"

High in the sky, Gou Buxiao shouted loudly.

At the same time, many powerful members of the Dark Alliance immediately echoed, making Gou Buxiao's rebuke even more imposing.

Even a mere word from a Spirit Realm expert can unleash an immense and powerful force that influences the heavens and earth.

In an instant, daylight turned to darkness.

A heavy pressure swept over, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of meters in radius.

In an instant, the Heavenly Realm experts watching from all around felt difficulty breathing, and the immense pressure forced them to retreat continuously.

"Is this what a Spirit Rank is? We can't even withstand the aura it emits?" A Heaven Rank cultivator roared, his face showing a look of horror.

They originally thought they were not much different from the Spirit Rank, and some of the top experts on the Heavenly Ranking even felt that they were strong enough to challenge opponents of higher ranks.

But now that they have truly felt the overwhelming aura of the Spirit Rank, they understand just how vast the gap is between the Spirit Rank and the Heaven Rank.

A Spirit Rank expert, just by emitting a powerful aura, was enough to deter Heaven Rank experts from getting close.

If they really started fighting, how many Heavenly Ranks would it take to fill that gap!
"kill!"

Just as everyone around was marveling at this, Gou Buxiao's Yin energy had fully gathered.

As Gou Buxiao's shout rang out, the pitch-black Yin Sha energy instantly transformed into a colossal creature.

It surged toward Xu Hao, and gradually, it transformed in mid-air into a huge black boar with tusks.

The energy it generates is like the end of the world; wherever it goes, anything that gets in its way is reduced to dust.

Meanwhile, behind the enormous black boar, there were also numerous howling ghosts.

Each cry possesses a disorienting, mind-numbing force.

This situation, let alone facing it, even just glancing at it, instilled extreme fear in the surrounding Heavenly Realm experts.

"So slow!" Xu Hao sighed as he watched the incoming attack.

He'd been here for five or six breaths, and only then did his opponent manage to unleash such a deadly attack.

If it weren't for his desire to establish his authority and also to see what he had accomplished in his cultivation...

So, within the first breath, his attack had already landed on his opponent.
The big move that took so much time to execute seems rather ordinary now.

However, Xu Hao did not act rashly. Instead, he watched quietly, wanting to see what was so special about the little supernatural power he had just acquired.

"What's going on? Has Xu Hao been scared out of his wits?" Outside, a powerful Daoist from the Heavenly Ranking Sect, having barely managed to withstand the roars of the Yin Spirits, kept a close eye on the battlefield.

But when they saw that Xu Hao was completely still, they were immediately surprised.

In a battle between two armies, how can one remain still?
Keep in mind, this is a Spirit-level attack!

Even if Xu Hao is powerful, he wouldn't dare to recklessly take a powerful attack from a Spirit Rank cultivator head-on!

Are you really not afraid of death?

"Young Master!" Xuan Qingxiao and the others stood on a high ground in the palace, watching the great battle outside, and immediately became tense.

Even from such a distance, they could feel a powerful threat from the imposing presence of the running wild boar.

boom.

Before everyone's eyes, Gou Buxiao's attack landed squarely on Xu Hao, and endless black energy surged forth, covering the entire area.

It was pitch black.

"Tch, I thought you were so amazing, but you're nothing special!" Gou Buxiao smiled as he saw his attack succeed.

He originally thought Xu Hao would dodge, but when he merely used the evil method of disrupting the mind, Xu Hao couldn't withstand it and could only endure it with his physical body.

He was already confident of victory in this battle.

However, Gou Buxiao was not careless. He summoned his magic weapon, and endless black mist surged out, then transformed into countless arrows, shooting towards the location where the black energy was surging.

Whoosh whoosh.

A sky full of black arrows.

Each time it falls, boundless power erupts.

Like a cannonball exploding, there were flashes of fire and endless shockwaves surging from the focal point of the attack, spreading out in an arc.

"This..." Everyone around sighed as they watched this scene.

Even if he was a Spirit Rank cultivator, even if Xu Hao was a martial artist with a powerful physical body,

Faced with such bombardment, death is the only outcome!

The bombardment lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Only when the darkness began to dissipate, and when all of Gou Buxiao's attacks were revealed, did Gou Buxiao look up, panting heavily.

In the previous battle, he gave it his all.

Such a bombardment would leave even the leader of the Dark Alliance severely injured and on the verge of death! "What is that?"

As the black energy dissipated, everyone stared at the figure in the sky, their pupils shrinking instantly.

The figure, dressed in a white brocade robe, remained motionless, as if it had never been attacked.

Even the pristine white robe remained spotless.

"Young Master!" Xuan Qingxiao and the others relaxed a little when they saw that Xu Hao was unharmed.

As expected, Xu Hao had said that this battle was nothing special, which gave them even more confidence.

However, none of the members of the Dark Alliance showed any fear.

"Impossible!" Gou Buxiao exclaimed in disbelief.

Even Huang Tianji, who had been sitting calmly on the sidelines, suddenly stood up from his seat, looking completely incredulous.

The attacks from the Spirit Rank were completely ineffective?

"Alliance Leader, that kid has a top-tier defensive magic weapon! We can't just sit here and wait to die!" Gou Buxiao exclaimed in surprise, and was the first to react, immediately requesting assistance.

In his view, all of this could only be because Xu Hao had acquired a top-tier spirit-grade magic weapon.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to achieve this level of success.

"Kill! All troops, attack!" Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance, had roughly guessed what was going on and issued the order without hesitation.

In an instant, countless powerful members of the Dark Alliance were ready, each appearing in their designated positions and pouring energy into an array plate.

boom.

In an instant, huge array patterns flashed across the sky and earth, encompassing an area of ​​ten thousand meters in radius.

In an instant, a large formation was formed.

As a major power in the Eastern Region, the Dark Alliance must possess powerful formations.

Even the Seven Heroes of the Eastern Extreme Region have grand formations, so it's impossible for the Dark Alliance, backed by the Heavenly Dao Alliance, not to have one.

The reason the Dark Alliance set up camp outside the capital was to secretly deploy formations.

Human resources are limited, but formations are limitless.

As long as there is enough energy, the formation will unleash powerful attacks.

The Dark Alliance's current formation is called the Bloodthirsty Killing Formation, which is at the half-step Dao Realm level.

When this level is pushed to its limit, it can even trap experts at the Dao Realm.

For those who haven't reached the Dao Entry Realm, it's absolutely a matter of life and death.

"what?"

"That's the Bloodthirsty Array?" The moment the array appeared, the surrounding area erupted in an uproar.

Many factions witnessed the arrival of the Dark Alliance, but they never discovered that the Dark Alliance was still setting up the Bloodthirsty Array.

That was a powerful formation that struck fear into the hearts of people throughout the Eastern Extreme Region, and its reputation was extremely widespread.

It is said that once such a grand formation is set up, even a Spirit Rank expert will be severely injured, if not killed.

They never expected that the Dark Alliance would bring out such a trump card formation for Xu Hao, and even successfully set it up right under their noses.

As expected, the Dark Alliance came with an unwavering belief in victory.

And now, Xu Hao is at the center of the great formation's attack.

Rumble.

Black lightning flashed in the daytime, inspiring fear.

"Young Master!" On the palace floor, Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, Tang Wan'er, and the others looked on with tension.

Although they received Xu Hao's assurance and witnessed his previous power, they remained deeply worried.

Only in the sky did Xu Hao watch without moving.

"They even set up a grand formation. Fine, let them expend more energy!" Xu Hao neither dodged nor launched an attack.

He is at the Dao Realm, and can kill the leader of the Dark Alliance at will.

However, he was only one person, while the Dark Alliance had sent too many people, and many powerful figures were even spying from afar.

If he were to suddenly appear, these people would have a chance to escape.

Once they have exhausted a large amount of energy, the Dark Alliance members' chances of escaping will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Simply eliminating the high-ranking members of the Dark Alliance is not enough to deter the Eastern Extreme Region.

Only by resolutely confronting all attacks from the Dark Alliance and eradicating them completely can we deter all sides.

boom.

As Xu Hao pondered, the black lightning struck swiftly.

surging.

The powerful attacks rained down relentlessly, causing black sparks to surge around Xu Hao.

The black and white colors complement each other.

"Too weak!" Xu Hao shook his head as he felt the approaching black lightning.

These seemingly powerful attacks couldn't even penetrate his skin.

It's like scratching an itch through a boot.

There was only a slight itchy or tingling sensation, and nothing else.

The bombardment continued for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The members of the Dark Alliance poured too much energy into the great formation.

"He should be dead!"

"Haha, so what if Xu Hao? He's just a human. Faced with my Dark Alliance's Bloodthirsty Array, he'll be reduced to ashes!"

"This is what happens when you oppose my Dark Alliance!"

The powerful members of the Dark Alliance shouted, their faces full of excitement.

Because they knew the power of the Bloodlust Array.

With Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance, in charge of the formation, and others infusing energy into the Bloodthirsty Array, no one below the peak of the Heavenly Rank can survive.

Even at the peak of the Heavenly Rank, one would inevitably suffer severe injuries.

Xu Hao is just a nobody from a remote place, with limited resources. They don't believe that Xu Hao can withstand this bloodthirsty formation.

"What a piece of trash! You don't even have the slightest sense of vigilance. You really think my wild boar roar is just a joke!" Gou Buxiao spat disdainfully.

His previous attacks were merely feints; whether they were effective or not was irrelevant. As long as Xu Hao was kept within the range of the Bloodthirsty Array, it would be considered a success.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hao showed no respect whatsoever and fell directly into the core attack point of the Bloodthirsty Array.

If you don’t die, who will?

Even Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance on the high platform, rarely showed a smile.

He never expected things to go so smoothly.

He also prepared several top-tier spirit-grade magical artifacts for the final attack.

As a result, none of his preparations were needed.

"Young Master!" Upon hearing the loud rebukes from the Dark Alliance members in the palace, Xuan Qingxiao's heart tightened.

She strained her eyes, trying to find Xu Hao's whereabouts.

She couldn't believe that Xu Hao, who was always so confident, had been killed so easily.

"You're all very happy!" A calm voice rang out, causing the laughing Dark Alliance members to pause in surprise.

Even the many people and forces watching from the surrounding area showed expressions of disbelief and shock.

"You, you're not dead?" Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance, exclaimed in surprise.

That's a bloodthirsty formation; it can hunt down peak-level spirits.

The opponent had been bombarded for more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn; how could he still be so full of energy?

"You've made your move, now it's my turn!" Xu Hao's voice rang out, and with a casual wave of his hand, the black lightning that was still flashing around him vanished like leaves in a whirlwind.

It suddenly disappeared.

In the sky, only Xu Hao, dressed in white and spotless, remained.
