I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"I'll clear the way for you!"

Xu Hao leaped off the city wall and charged straight at the Changsheng Sect villains who were already heading towards Qinghe County.

Now that the Eternal Life Sect has launched a full-scale attack, he needs to fight his way out.

Otherwise, once the siege ends, regardless of victory or defeat, chaos will ensue.

Leaving family members in this chaos undoubtedly adds many risks.

Since we'll have to go to Shuangqing Prefecture sooner or later anyway, we might as well take advantage of this opportunity.

Once Xu Hao sends his mother away, he can act freely.

Now is the perfect time to reap experience points and level up.

"Yes, let the family go first!" Zhao Heshan immediately realized what was happening when he saw Xu Hao rushing down the city wall and quickly echoed his opinion.

Now it's a major battle, and regardless of victory or defeat, Qinghe County is no longer a place to stay.

Chen Changhe and the others realized what was happening and immediately ordered, "Heshan, you take your men and escort them away first. We'll stay here!"

"Yes!" Zhao Heshan did not hesitate at all, turned around and ran towards an area behind him.

On the city wall, Chen Changhe sensed the situation in other parts of Qinghe County, and his heart grew slightly heavy.

He sensed powerful fluctuations of qi and blood from several directions.

With traitors and inside agents, as well as the fluctuations of a super strong person's aura, it undoubtedly means that defending Qinghe County will be even more difficult than imagined.

"Hopefully, there aren't many experts at the Strength Realm around; otherwise, very few will be able to escape!"

Chen Changhe took a deep breath and began to organize everyone to defend.

Unlike Xu Hao, they don't possess the strength to break through enemy lines.

They can only rely on the favorable terrain to mount a step-by-step resistance.

Ideally, we should be able to hold out until the battle at the Strength Realm level is decided.

boom.

The entire Qinghe County was engulfed in fierce fighting.

The eastern suburbs of Qinghe County, however, were heavily guarded.

With no undercover agents or inside accomplices left, the city walls outside the eastern suburbs were heavily fortified, requiring the Changsheng Sect villains to pay a heavy price to get close to them.

At the same time, they also have to be wary of Xu Hao.

Xu Hao is too strong and too fast.

The evil followers of the Longevity Cult are simply no match for them.

After only a few encounters, the Changsheng Sect in the eastern suburbs realized something was amiss.

"Who's that? Stop him!"

"Damn it, we can't let him keep killing, or we'll collapse before we even conquer the city!"

"Four-star captains, surround and kill him!"

On the eastern outskirts, the commander of the Changsheng Sect stood on a high ground and hurriedly gave orders.

Xu Hao's record is too terrifying; he single-handedly destroyed several teams.

If Xu Hao were allowed to continue his attack, everyone would likely collapse before even reaching the city walls.

Although the Changsheng Cult has been brainwashed, they are not entirely fearless of death.

"Don't worry, leave it to us!" The captains of the Longevity Sect, who were at the fourth level of cultivation, couldn't help but lick their scarlet tongues.

For them, killing was simply a normal thing to do.

Each of them has hundreds or even thousands of lives on their hands.

They didn't take it to heart at all, because as long as it wasn't someone at the Qi Refining Realm, there were so many of them, so they had nothing to fear.

Even if the opponent is a Qi Realm expert, so what? Their command post also has a Qi Realm expert in charge.

This is the source of their confidence.

In short, Qinghe County will surely fall.

The civilians and martial artists hunted down will surely condense into Blood Pills that allow them to advance to the Strength Realm.

If you perform well now, you might be rewarded and become someone of high status.

Thinking of this, the four-stage warriors of the Longevity Sect who charged towards Xu Hao became even more motivated.

"Kill him! I'll take his life!" roared a fourth-level martial artist from the Longevity Sect, renowned for his speed.

His name is Tan Kui, and he practices his own family's Twelve Styles of Tan Leg, which makes him faster than other martial artists.

In the darkness, he was the first to charge, quickly bypassing the other members of the Longevity Cult and heading towards Xu Hao.

"Hmph, let's see who's the best. Don't think that just because you're fast, his life is yours. Don't let yourself be caught off guard and lose your life!" The other fourth-level warriors of the Longevity Sect were not to be outdone and quickened their pace.

In their eyes, Xu Hao was just a martial artist whose cultivation and combat power were higher than ordinary people. There were so many of them, and they could drown him with a single spit from each of them.

Even a master of the Strength Realm wouldn't dare to charge into the crowd like that.

When Xu Hao saw the villain from the Longevity Cult rushing towards him, he immediately stretched out his leg to kick him.

Without a second thought, he brandished his longsword.

"Draw Sword Slash!"

A powerful blade of light instantly swept across.

Almost at the peak.

The ultimate swordsmanship, combined with Xu Hao's speed and power, made it an absolutely divine strike.

The sound of the wind as it was swung was so moving, and the image of the slashing was so swift and cross-boundary.

puff.

The blade strikes later but arrives first.

Under Tan Kui's horrified and bewildered gaze, he watched helplessly as Xu Hao's longsword swung horizontally and made direct contact with his body.

"No!"

Tan Kui roared, desperately trying to twist his body to dodge, hoping to escape the fate of being cut in two and killed.

Unfortunately, no matter what Tan Kui did, he couldn't get rid of it.

It was as if it were already destined.

puff.

A single slash cuts through the air.

[You have killed a valuable creature and gained 5,000 experience points!]

Your level has increased, and you have gained free attribute points!

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

As expected, only killing martial artists with the fourth level of cultivation can yield real experience points.

One is level one!

Xu Hao did not sheath his sword. Instead, he held the sword forward and used the Swift Wind Step to dash forward, landing in front of another Changsheng Sect fourth-level martial artist who was charging towards him.

"So fast!" The fourth-level martial artist of the Longevity Sect was immediately shocked.

Because he rushed forward quickly enough, he witnessed the entire scene of Tan Kui being beheaded.

Now, he has fallen into Tan Kui's situation.

puff.

The fourth-stage martial artist of the Longevity Sect stomped his feet hard on the ground, sinking them into the earth in an attempt to stop his forward momentum and then make a dodging motion.

The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

His feet had barely touched the ground, and before he could even turn his body, Xu Hao's longsword had already slashed through him, and then Xu Hao disappeared from sight.

"I'm going to die already?" The fourth-level warrior of the Longevity Sect was stunned before his consciousness dissipated.

The gap is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

Xu Hao casually swung his knife and charged straight forward without pausing at all.

That's the kind of confidence he has.

A fourth-level martial artist with only thirty attributes is easier to kill than killing a chicken for someone whose attributes already exceed seventy.

"don't want!"

"Run!"

The other ordinary members of the Longevity Cult had not yet collapsed and fled. Instead, it was the four-stage warriors who had come to help who were the first to flee, leaving the Longevity Cult members who wanted to surround and help them looking on in astonishment.

Then, fear spread.

"Run!!"

The fact that the first person escaped immediately triggered a chain reaction...
