Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Crushing Zuo Lan with Absolute Strength

Bai Qiong was momentarily stunned in place.

From the appearance of the opponent to the cessation of the attack, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

The late-stage Golden Core she had been fighting for so long was killed so effortlessly.

There was not the slightest ripple caused.

The only thing there was the struggle and terror of that person.

Seeing Jiang Hao’s appearance, Bai Qiong found it somewhat unbelievable.

What level of cultivation did this person have?

At this moment, Fang Jin and Lan Jin had both stopped fighting.

They retreated, and the arrival of Jiang Hao was quite unexpected to them.

Why come at this time?

The Nascent Soul had already appeared; it was too late.

“Coming out at this time, were you waiting for me?”

Zuo Lan’s main body stood under the moonlight, exuding a powerful force.

Nascent Soul

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly as he looked at the opponent.

He didn’t want to engage with the Nascent Soul, even though the opponent wasn’t a true Nascent Soul.

But the strength was completely beyond that of a Golden Core.

Such strength was the strongest he had encountered among his enemies.

He lacked confidence.

But if Hong Yuye didn’t make a move, then he could only bite the bullet and go forward.

He didn’t know if being defeated would prompt Hong Yuye to take action, so he could only rely on himself to survive.

“I’ve come for the stone tablet,” Jiang Hao said, looking at Zuo Lan.

Zuo Lan had the appearance of someone in their late twenties, with pale skin and a well-defined, handsome face.

His tall body surged with powerful vitality.

“Golden Core completion?” Zuo Lan looked at Jiang Hao and said with a sneer:

“What will you use to snatch the stone tablet from my hands? Just right, I will take you back. Your appearance has interrupted our plans, and your methods are quite peculiar; the people behind us also want to get something from you. You’re looking for me, but actually, I’ve been looking for you too.”

Being targeted again, Jiang Hao sighed inwardly and asked,

“Who is the person behind you?”

“Why don’t you meet them and find out?” Zuo Lan looked at Jiang Hao and said with disdain.

“You’re really lucky, actually, I wanted to kill you. But I will spare your life.”

Jiang Hao lowered his gaze; he actually wanted to launch a surprise attack, but Zuo Lan’s clone was right behind him.

There was no room for a sneak attack.

Now he could only confront head-on.

As for whether the opponent would speak, he wasn’t in a hurry now.

If he won, the initiative would be his.

If he lost, asking anything would be meaningless.

“Make your move.”

Zuo Lan didn’t move himself, but he continued to stare at Fang Jin and the others and said:

“People of the Mingyue Sect, I’m not interested in you right now, so you can take your people and leave.”

“Somebody would believe that, but I certainly don’t,” Fang Jin didn’t hesitate and prepared to make a move.

Bai Qiong and the others also planned to take action.

At this moment, a complete Golden Core and two early-stage Golden Cores together launched an attack on Jiang Hao.

Fang Jin swung his long sword.

Bai Qiong tried to activate the Thunder Formation again.

Lan Jin gritted her teeth, not planning to drag their feet.

However, just as they were about to make their move, a blade light suddenly swept past them.

Heavenly Saber’s third form, Meteor.

Clang!

The blade light was like a moon shadow, the figure like a meteor.

In an instant, Jiang Hao arrived in front of the complete Golden Core, a slash passed, and the Meteor fell.

Pfft!

The complete Golden Core was slain with a single slash, and the light did not stop there, appearing again in front of the early-stage Golden Cores.

The blade passed like the shadow of a meteor.

After just a couple of flashes, the two early-stage Golden Cores were instantly slain.

The third form of the Heavenly Saber was the combination of sword technique and movement technique.

Arriving at the enemy’s side with the fastest speed, slaying them, and then moving on to another.

This one slash could consecutively slay seven people.

It was only when he struck down the fourth person that Jiang Hao fully activated the Primordial Heart Sutra.

He approached Zuo Lan, who was at the Nascent Soul stage.

“Hidden Spirit Manifestation.”

The full power of the Golden Core emerged from the spiritual platform, augmenting Jiang Hao’s body.

He was now empowered with the third form of the Heavenly Saber.

At the same time, Purple Qi appeared, spreading over his entire body and also covering the blade in his hand.

Slash!

Jiang Hao unleashed his strongest power to date with a single slash.

Because the Meteor moved so swiftly, by the time Jiang Hao reached Zuo Lan, Zuo Lan had only just begun to react.

Facing a slash that completely surpassed the Golden Core level, he dared not be careless and immediately used a defensive treasure.

Crack!

Bang!

The Purple Qi swept across, shattering the defensive treasure and striking Zuo Lan’s arm.

With a bang, Zuo Lan was sent flying, blood gushing from his arm.

He was severely injured by a complete Golden Core slash.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

From the moment Jiang Hao drew his blade to Zuo Lan’s injury, it was but a breath’s time.

It was too fast, so fast that they didn’t even understand what had happened.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hao did not stop; after sending Zuo Lan flying, he landed beside Zuo Lan’s clone.

Without hesitation, a long spear appeared in his hand, covered with Purple Qi, and then he struck down.

Boom!

The clone of Zuo Lan didn’t even have time to react before Jiang Hao broke open his skull and casually killed him.

The Purple Qi began to spread around, and as Jiang Hao took a step forward, he struck again.

Moon Slash.

The moonlight manifested.

This time Zuo Lan began to counterattack, wielding an eight-sided sword to fight back.

“You’re not a Golden Core? No, you are a Golden Core. I don’t believe that a mere Golden Core at full completion could be my match.”

Clang!

For a moment, power surged, and blades and swords clashed.

Jiang Hao was covered in Purple Qi, using his overwhelming power to suppress his opponent.

A single Moon Slash drove the opponent back, followed by the second form of the Heavenly Saber, Mountain Suppressor.

Bang!

The surrounding buildings and trees instantly turned into rubble and sawdust, and Zuo Lan, heavily injured by the Mountain Suppressor, swung his heavy sword at Jiang Hao.

The third form of the Heavenly Saber, Meteor.

In that moment, Jiang Hao transformed into a Meteor and vanished from his original spot, appearing in front of Zuo Lan and slashing out, breaking the eight-sided sword on the spot.

Then he disappeared again, reappearing behind Zuo Lan, and with the force of thunder, his second slash swept past the side of Zuo Lan’s neck.

Spurt!

Blood gushed out.

Zuo Lan clutched his neck in panic.

“How is this possible? Who exactly are you?”

As a Nascent Soul, he was being overwhelmed by a Golden Core.

At this moment, the Meteor flashed by, and a long blade pierced his chest.

Front, back, side.

Several blades impaled Zuo Lan.

By the time the Meteor ended, Zuo Lan was heavily injured and kneeling on the ground, with Jiang Hao standing in front of him, the blade wrist-guard Mountain Suppressor ready.

Slash!

“Ah!”

A scream rang out.

Blood spilled onto the earth, and at that moment, Zuo Lan completely lost his ability to fight.

His body seemed to have been cut by countless blades.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao retracted the Purple Qi and slowly sheathed his blade.

Looking at the Half-Moon now full of cracks, he sighed in his heart. He had lost three thousand spirit stones.

His body was also temporarily weakened due to overexertion, but thanks to the nameless secret manual, he did not show it.

Indeed, facing a Nascent Soul was too much of a stretch. He couldn’t be so reckless in the future.

Fortunately, this wasn’t a true Nascent Soul; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured.

Of course, he still had one ace up his sleeve.

He had not drawn the Primordial Heavenly Saber.

“Can you start answering my questions now?” Jiang Hao’s cold voice rang out.

At this moment, the three people were finally pulled back to reality.

Fairy Lan Jin looked at Jiang Hao in the moonlight with horror, his silhouette standing amidst countless bodies like a terrifying presence, causing her to subconsciously hide behind her Senior Brother and Senior Sister.

His calmness, indifference, and methods filled her with trepidation.

Especially his strength, which overturned her established understanding.

How could a Golden Core directly kill a Nascent Soul?

She finally understood what her Senior Brother and Senior Sister meant by “there are skies beyond skies, and people beyond people.”

If she had offended this person earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thinking this, she felt somewhat relieved that she had come out with her Senior Brother and Senior Sister.

Fang Jin and Bai Qiong were just as shocked as Lan Jin.

Jiang Hao’s strength was formidable and awe-inspiring.
