Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Instant Kill

Seeing that the fake slate could resonate with the real one, Jiang Hao knew that the real slate must be nearby.

Moreover, the fact that the other party could do this indicated a deep understanding of the slates.

Capturing the original should reveal more information.

But finding the other party was somewhat difficult.

Use the slate to investigate?

It would alert the enemy, and if not close enough, he wouldn’t be able to find the exact location.

If the other party noticed, who knows what would happen? If they retreated, it would be harder to find them again.

Currently, everything about the altar had little value to Jiang Hao.

Thinking this, he decided to continue waiting. Since the other party needed Nascent Soul-level power, that power would definitely appear when it manifested.

Seeing Zuo Lan’s caution, Jiang Hao subconsciously glanced at Hong Yuye.

He wanted to tell her that being cautious was the norm.

However, Hong Yuye seemed to see through his thoughts and took the initiative to speak,

“Are you trying to tell me that there are many cautious people out there?”

“The junior believes that there are always enemies who are cautious, and we cannot let our guard down,” Jiang Hao replied.

“It’s different,” Hong Yuye said softly, shaking her head slightly as her hair swayed gently.

“You have a fundamental difference from him. You don’t want to offend people, nor do you want to draw attention.”

“Zuo Lan, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He is not afraid of trouble and doesn’t worry about attracting attention. He prides himself on being smart and wise, not fearing difficulties, and leaving no stone unturned. He is confident, even enjoying it.”

“Confident?” Jiang Hao looked at the altar, which was starting to glow.

It seemed he could understand.

Zuo Lan knew that people from the Mingyue Sect would come and that other slate owners were in Tiantu City.

Yet, he still made preparations and began the sacrifice right here.

He successfully held off Fang Jin and others, starting his final plan right under their noses.

He even made many preparations, waiting for those who would cause trouble.

While being cautious, he also seemed to have enough confidence in himself.

In light of this, Jiang Hao decided to work harder in the future to improve his cultivation.

To avoid falling into these people’s traps unknowingly.

As long as his strength was sufficient, he could be more composed.

Boom!

Fang Jin kept erupting, bombarding the surroundings with powerful spells.

He saw the altar fully activated, with an immensely powerful force converging within it.

Once this force finished gathering, not to mention saving Junior Sister, whether everyone could leave alive was in question.

“Junior Sister Bai, take action,” Fang Jin directed Bai Qiong.

Understanding his command, Bai Qiong stepped back a little and then, like lightning needles, her attacks pierced the surroundings of the building.

She stood in the air, her long hair flowing with the wind.

Lightning surged around her.

Above in the high sky, thunder roared.

Then, thunderous sounds came from the ground.

“Heavenly Cycle Thunder Formation.”

Bai Qiong shouted softly, and countless bolts of lightning rose from the ground, resonating with the thunderclouds.

Boom!

Thunder exploded in the sky.

Thousands of lightning bolts covered the entire building, beginning to attack the altar.

“So you’ve set up the Heavenly Cycle Thunder Formation here. I thought you had some kind of trump card,” Zuo Lan sneered, standing atop the altar.

His body radiated light, and the surrounding void brought forth a new force of will.

Facing the lightning array, Zuo Lan simply pinched a technique, and the pillars around the altar began to burst with blood-red light.

The light converged into a shield, covering the altar.

Boom!

Lightning struck down.

“Ah ah~”

The nine children tied to the pillars screamed in unison.

“Haha, this Blood Fiend Formation uses their fresh blood as a catalyst. Keep bombing, and once their blood runs dry, the formation will break,” Zuo Lan mocked Bai Qiong in the air.

Now, Bai Qiong was in a dilemma about whether to continue the attack or not.

While she hesitated, a force struck at her, forcing her to stop the array.

Since she couldn’t attack, she had to decisively give up.

“Your weaknesses are too obvious.”

Zuo Lan sneered, feeling the powerful force converging, “Do you know why I covered their faces? This way, you can’t find your target to save, and you can’t be sure if that child is even here. What if she was never in my hands? Hahaha.”

Fang Jin and the others furrowed their brows, but the powerful force in the altar demanded their attention.

If the opponent could control that kind of power, they would have no other options.

“You’re not stupid, but you’re not that smart either.”

Zuo Lan sighed, looking around, “There should be more people, why haven’t they shown up yet? I’ve prepared quite a few things to welcome them; I hope I haven’t scared them away?”

By now, he had absorbed most of the power, and the aura of Nascent Soul level power began to overflow.

Without a doubt, he had transcended the Golden Core.

Fang Jin felt a sense of urgency.

But he thought the person Zuo Lan was waiting for must be Jiang Hao and others; he was also curious about what the other party was waiting for.

Fairy Lan Jin felt that Jiang Hao’s strength was limited, and it was normal for him not to dare to come out.

Wouldn’t coming out be seeking death?

Not everyone was like them, coming to save a fellow sect sister.

“Since no one is coming out, then forget it,” Zuo Lan squatted down, pressing his hand on the stone slab.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao’s eyes narrowed; the opponent was about to transfer the Nascent Soul level power through the stone slab to his main body.

Although he didn’t understand what this power was about, he had to be cautious.

He needed to catch the direction of the power’s aura and stop the opponent’s fusion as quickly as possible.

Just now, when he felt the power surpassing the Golden Core, he sensed danger.

He couldn’t let Zuo Lan’s main body gain power.

However, as Jiang Hao prepared to strike at the surrounding area, he discovered that the Nascent Soul power was heading below the altar and was instantly received.

A powerful force burst out from beneath the altar.

Was Zuo Lan right below the altar?

Jiang Hao, who had been ready to strike, gave up the idea, feeling bitter as it was too late.

He could sense that the altar itself was covered with many formations, but he hadn’t expected someone to be hiding within.

‘I wonder if I would have detected Zuo Lan if I had just appraised the altar.’

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly, knowing he would never get the answer.

Boom!

The Nascent Soul power erupted, and the altar couldn’t withstand such a powerful surge, exploding instantly.

The continuous loud noises shattered the altar, and debris scattered in all directions.

The first to bear the brunt were the children.

“This is bad.”

Fang Jin and the others wanted to take action to save them.

The children couldn’t withstand such an impact.

But all three of them were blocked by Zuo Lan’s men.

They couldn’t save them.

At the same time, nine spiritual swords suddenly fell from the sky, with a loud bang, landing in front of the nine children.

They blocked the flying debris.

“Who’s there?”

One of the late-stage Golden Core cultivators who had been blocking Bai Qiong looked around.

But as he did, Bai Qiong noticed someone standing behind him, a person holding a dagger aiming for the Golden Core cultivator’s neck.

Pfft!

The dagger, with the speed of lightning, pierced into the neck of the late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Feeling the sudden attack, the late-stage Golden Core cultivator wanted to flee from his spot.

However, a spiritual sword appeared in front of him.

Pfft!

The spiritual sword pierced through his chest, penetrating his body.

“Who?”

“Who is it?”

The late-stage Golden Core cultivator tried to locate his enemy, but as he stepped back twice, another spiritual sword stabbed him from behind.

It too pierced through his body.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face filled with terror.

Then, one after another, spiritual swords appeared from all directions, turning the late-stage Golden Core into a porcupine.

Only then did Jiang Hao approach him, slowly removing the storage magical treasure, and comfortingly said.

“Don’t worry, you’re not alone.”
