The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Instantly, the excruciating pain contorted Hao Shehua's face, and he rolled on the ground in agony.

"Qin Changye, how dare you kill my brother?"

Seeing Qin Changye raise his ink sword again, this time aiming it at Hao Huagui's chest, Hao Huagui was stunned.

"Why wouldn't you dare?"

Qin Changye's tone was icy, each word deliberate: "Listen carefully, there's no reason in this world where your brother can kill me, but I can't kill him!"

Swish!

Having said that, he brought down the ink-black sword in his hand.

Hao Shehua's chest was pierced, his heart was shattered, and he died instantly.

Then, Qin Changye pointed his ink sword at Hao Huagui.

Like father, like son; even in hell, like brothers!

"What do you mean? You killed my brother and that's not enough, you dare to kill me too?"

Hao Huagui broke out in a cold sweat; an unprecedented sense of impending death instantly enveloped his entire body.

Qin Changye didn't bother to reply, and pointed his ink sword at Qin Changye's chest.

He desperately wanted to escape, but his body was frozen in place by a spiritual force, and even moving was a luxury.

"Young Master Qin, if you strike with this sword, you and the Grand Elder of our Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce will truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle."

At this moment, Yan Ruyu spoke up.

He did have Qin Changye's best interests at heart.

As the chief auctioneer of the Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce, she knew all too well how protective the Chamber's elder was of his own.

I still remember a few years ago, a wealthy young master only insulted Hao Huagui a few times, and the Grand Elder slaughtered the entire family of more than three thousand people, leaving no one alive, not even the guard dog, who was cut in eighteen strokes.

It was also because of the elder's extreme favoritism that his two sons developed arrogant and domineering personalities, killing people at the slightest disagreement and slaughtering entire families at the slightest provocation.

"If I don't strike with my sword, does that mean the Grand Elder and I aren't destined to be enemies to the death?"

Qin Changye did not answer but asked a question instead.

Yan Ruyu was speechless for a moment. That's right. The moment Qin Changye killed Hao Shehua and even offended Hao Shehua, given the Grand Elder's vengeful nature, it was already a fight to the death.

"Arrogant brat, spare his life!"

At that moment, a furious voice suddenly rang out.

Upon closer inspection, a gaunt old man adorned with countless treasures descended from the sky, shattering the ceiling of the First Auction House with a single kick.

Many people recognized that this gaunt old man was none other than Hao Caiyi, the Grand Elder of the Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce and the father of Hao Haohua and Hao Huagui.

Hao Caiyi is currently in a brothel in the capital, where he has gathered more than a dozen top courtesans to practice whip skills in seclusion. He did not attend today's Jin Xin Auction.

He rushed over immediately after receiving Hao Shehua's distress signal, but it was still a bit late.

He saw the blood-soaked corpse of his second son, Hao Shehua.

He also saw his eldest son, Hao Huagui, frozen in place, left only to await his execution.

His already cold face instantly turned so cold it was almost as if ice crystals had formed.

"Stop keeping your sister!"

Qin Changye didn't bother to give Hao Caiyi, who had made a powerful entrance, a second glance, and continued thrusting his ink sword at the same speed.

puff!

The ink-black sword, like a dragon, pierced Hao Huagui's chest.

sizzle...

After a brief silence, the scene erupted once again with a deafening roar of gasps.

They'd seen plenty of madmen, but none as arrogant as Qin Changye.

Killing the son in front of the Grand Elder of the Jin Xin Chamber of Commerce is no different from a mouse licking a cat's teeth.

The more than twenty emperors who were already prepared to make their move showed expressions of delight.

That's it!

They don't even need to lift a finger; Hao Caiyi will make sure Qin Changye is completely dead!

"It's a pity that the Northern Continent is about to lose a peerless genius!"

At the scene, there were many onlookers who, like Yan Ruyu, sighed in admiration.

Last night, the scene of Qin Changye facing the terrifying heavenly tribulation head-on and enduring it was still vivid in his mind.

Such an extraordinary existence, what else could it be but a peerless genius?

If they can develop their strength cautiously, their future prospects will be limitless.

It's just a pity that there are no "what ifs" now!

"Okay, okay, you're really great!"

Watching helplessly as his eldest son's body crashed to the ground, Hao Caiyi's murderous intent surged like a river bursting its banks, becoming uncontrollable.

He suddenly looked at Qin Changye, his bloodshot eyes blazing with boundless rage: "If I don't tear you to pieces today, I won't have the face to face my two sons even after I ascend to heaven a hundred years from now."

As he spoke, a fierce aura erupted from his body.

This is the aura of the seventh level of the Imperial Martial Realm!

"Actually, there's no need to wait until a hundred years later. Today, I can send you father and son off to meet again."

Qin Changye showed no fear. He flicked his ink sword lightly, and the bloodstains of Hao Shehua and Hao Huagui stained the sword and splattered on the ground.

"Once I tear you to pieces, let's see how stubborn you'll be then!"

Hao Caiyi soared into the air and stood still thousands of feet in the air.

At their level, the aftershocks of a battle are too numerous; if the fighting were to take place below, countless onlookers would be killed in the aftershocks.

Therefore, once their cultivation reaches the Emperor Martial Realm, especially those at the fifth level or above, they will tacitly take to the air before a battle, setting the battlefield thousands of feet in the sky.

Qin Changye also took to the air.

Fighting a seventh-level Emperor Martial Realm cultivator with only the second level of Emperor Martial Realm cultivation showed no fear whatsoever; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

A grand battle commenced thousands of feet in the sky.

To everyone's surprise, Hao Caiyi failed to defeat Qin Changye in one move.

Even the second, third... and eighteenth moves couldn't instantly kill Qin Changye!

"He just reached the Emperor Martial Realm last night, and today he can already fight against someone at the seventh level of the Emperor Martial Realm. Given time, he will definitely become the number one person in the Northern Continent!"

Among the onlookers below, the Yan Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

This isn't a case of praising someone to death; it's about letting the facts speak for themselves!

Beside them, the emperors who had previously hesitated about joining forces to kill Qin Changye today no longer hesitated.

Such an astonishing existence, if not nipped in the bud today, will surely disrupt the balance of the Northern Continent in the future, and may even unify the Northern Continent in an unprecedented way.

They stared intently at the sky, hoping that Hao Caiyi could kill Qin Changye today, which would be a cause for celebration.

If that fails, they will immediately join forces and risk using their most trump cards to ensure that Qin Changye never sees the light of day again.

"Having traversed the Northern Continent for decades and seen countless people, you are the most astounding of them all, without a doubt!"

Thousands of feet in the air, Hao Caiyi, unable to subdue Qin Changye, doubled the shock on his face, then sighed, "What a pity, you shouldn't have killed my two sons, otherwise I might have even adopted you as my godson, giving you time to develop!"

Qin Changye, however, showed no remorse and urged, "If you have any other trump cards up your sleeve, use them quickly and put some pressure on me!"

The implication is that Hao Caiyi faced no pressure in the previous battle.

"Alright, now I'll reveal my trump card and put immense pressure on you!"

As Hao Caiyi spoke, a burst of spiritual energy erupted from his body.

The spiritual energy instantly tore his clothes apart, leaving not even his underwear behind.

He was laid bare before the eyes of countless onlookers below, his face showing no embarrassment, only a determined resolve.

"What do you mean?"

"Your trump card is that you're not wearing clothes?"
