Chapter 372

After witnessing Qin Hao’s combat prowess, everyone was utterly shocked, and those who had initially harbored intentions of causing him trouble instantly abandoned their ideas.

Despite Qin Hao's immense strength, he showed no courtesy to the demon race. He even killed several demons right in front of all of them. This enraged the demon leader, who immediately led his strongest demons in pursuit of Qin Hao. However, Qin Hao’s speed was extraordinary, and given the demons' inherent natural restraint against humans, their leader found it impossible to catch up to Qin Hao for a time.

Nevertheless, the demon leader did not give up on his chase. Instead, he ordered all the demons to pursue Qin Hao.

"Qin Hao, stop right there!" the demon leader roared from behind. Qin Hao, however, paid him no mind and continued to race into the distance.

Seeing that Qin Hao wasn't stopping, the demon leader took out a talisman and hurled it at him. The talisman instantly transformed into a streaking light in the air, charging directly towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao, upon seeing the talisman approaching, promptly drew his long spear and thrust it forward, piercing the talisman. Its energy immediately dissipated.

The demon leader, witnessing his talisman destroyed, then brandished his own weapon—a massive broadsword adorned with countless runes, emanating an aura of terrifying power—and charged at Qin Hao. Qin Hao, in turn, raised his long spear and lunged towards the demon leader.

Their weapons clashed instantly with a deafening roar. Both Qin Hao and the demon leader were sent flying backward through the air.

Qin Hao swiftly regained his balance mid-air, while the demon leader coughed up a mouthful of blood. Observing the leader's injury, Qin Hao understood he was hurt. He chose not to press his attack further on the wounded demon leader, instead continuing his rapid escape into the distance.

This sequence of relentless pursuit and defense repeated itself multiple times. The demon leader, seeing Qin Hao continually attempting to widen the gap, would retrieve his massive broadsword—still radiating its terrifying, rune-infused aura—and hurl it towards Qin Hao. Each time, Qin Hao would meet the attack with his long spear, piercing the weapon and causing its destructive energy to dissipate. Despite his weapon being repeatedly shattered, the demon leader would stubbornly charge forward, only for Qin Hao to thrust his spear once more, striking the leader himself. Their subsequent clashes always resulted in both being violently thrown backward through the air. Qin Hao would quickly recover his footing, but the demon leader would invariably spit out more blood, confirming his accumulating injuries. Each time the leader was wounded, Qin Hao would seize the opportunity, refraining from pressing his advantage, and instead accelerate his flight, continuing to escape further and further into the distance.
