Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Surprised?

Ye Ji fell into the endless abyss.

Jiang Hao watched her fall, lost in thought.

He hadn’t managed to get the storage treasure.

The mist had not yet cleared, and the white-haired elder had already arrived beside him.

“You pushed your Senior Sister down?”

There was a hint of astonishment in his voice.

Jiang Hao turned to look at the white-haired elder, briefly considering whether to push him down too.

But he quickly abandoned the thought.

It wasn’t the right time.

He had to wait for these two to break the formation.

Without knowledge of formations, if brute force couldn’t break through, he would have to give up on the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling; it was just a pity.

“It was just self-defense,” he said softly.

“It’s surprising that you could put a Golden Core at a disadvantage. Although she was seriously injured, she shouldn’t have fallen to you,” the white-haired elder said, puzzled.

Only then did the mist finally disperse.

The fog could obstruct both senses and vision, likely a special treasure.

Although it wasn’t serious, the white-haired elder hadn’t seen the specifics of what happened between Jiang Hao and Ye Ji.

He had thought Jiang Hao might be in danger and came to rescue him.

Who would have thought that Jiang Hao was fine and the one who disappeared was the Golden Core at the early stage?

“Senior, don’t you think I might have some special trump card?” Jiang Hao asked, staring at him.

“I have that feeling, so I won’t underestimate you. You’d better be careful. But later, you’ll have to go up and get the item. Of course, before you go, we need to know what Yan Hua told you,” the white-haired elder said with a cold smile.

“You’re on your own.”

Jiang Hao nodded, remaining silent.

Only then did the white-haired elder return to the other side to continue breaking the formation.

This time he was indeed more cautious.

He then sent a message to his companion:

“We need to be careful with this Jiang Hao. He definitely has secrets.”

A Nascent Soul being wary of a Foundation Establishment late-stage?

The bearded elder laughed.

“You are at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and he’s just at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Even if he has secrets, are they worth your solemn attention? If you’re really worried, go now and cripple him; there’s no need to be so cautious.”

The white-haired elder still communicated through a message.

“No rush. Let’s wait until he thinks we’ll act at the last moment and not give him time to react. A crippling blow will prevent a long night full of dreams.”

The bearded elder was astonished.

Was it really necessary to be so cautious?

Not only messaging in secret but also planning a sneak attack.

And to attack when the other party was off guard, had their Nascent Soul early-stage cultivation gone to the dogs?

For a mere Foundation Establishment late-stage, was such caution warranted?

But he didn’t argue and simply nodded:

“Whatever you say, I don’t mind.”

It really doesn’t matter, since action is required anyway, any method of action will do.

Since we need to be so careful, then let’s be careful.

It’s not much of a hassle.

Jiang Hao continued to break the formation, using brute force here would suffice.

But he wanted to know, did he really have to break all of it to go up?

At this moment, he looked around and saw that the formations were linked together, one after another; the earlier ones were harder to break, but it became much easier later on.

The formations were strong when there were many of them.

With fewer, the overall effect was weak.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that most of the formations were there to prevent the power of the crimson bead from spilling out.

They were not meant to defend against outsiders like them.

‘So it seems, when breaking the formation, will there be a clash of misfortune?’

‘I wonder if the Primordial Heart Sutra can fully withstand it.’

Being plagued by misfortune is a terrifying thing; if something feels off, he must leave immediately.

As for whether the two from Tiansheng Sect noticed anything, he didn’t care.

After all, between the two parties, only one could leave.

After a long time, Jiang Hao felt that the longer he stayed, the greater the influence of the red light.

Fortunately, he had the Primordial Purple Qi to protect his body, otherwise he would definitely be affected by the misfortune beads.

As for the two from Tiansheng Sect, they had already been affected, but they were completely unaware.

If they were outside, they might have noticed something, but breaking the formation was like slowly inhaling toxins with each breath.

Because the toxins were too subtle, they were hard to detect.

Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment, thinking about when would be the best time to launch a surprise attack.

‘If they are on guard against me, would they try to ambush me? If so, when would be the best time? When the formation is about to end?’

‘Impossible, by then they will know that danger is imminent, so…’

Now is the best time… Thinking of this, Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate to activate the Primordial Heart Sutra.

He raised his hand, and the Primordial Heavenly Saber appeared, operating Merge with Light and Blend with Dust.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hao appeared behind the white-haired elder, and the Heavenly Saber slashed down.

Moon Slash.

Although it was unlikely for a Nascent Soul to ambush a Foundation Establishment like him, what if?

It’s always better to take the initiative to ambush than to be ambushed.

At this moment, the white-haired elder, who had intended to make a move, was shocked by Jiang Hao’s sudden attack.

This powerful force… was definitely much stronger than his.

A Nascent Soul expert?

No wonder he was so confident.

Although he didn’t understand why, the white-haired elder immediately brought out a magic treasure, a Vajra Pestle, to counter Jiang Hao’s sudden strike.

Clang!

The Primordial Heavenly Saber struck the Vajra Pestle, not evenly matched.

With a crack, the Vajra Pestle broke.

Moon Slash fell, striking the white-haired elder.

“Ha!”

With a roar, the white-haired elder burst out with strong power.

However, the sharp saber intent cut through everything, leaving a deep slash on the elder’s body.

With a “bang,” the white-haired elder was sent flying.

At this moment, the goat-bearded elder, still in shock, reacted and intervened as Jiang Hao was about to pursue.

Glancing at him, Jiang Hao kicked out with his foot.

Purple Qi manifested on his foot.

Bang!

The kick landed heavily on the elder’s chest, sending him stumbling back a dozen steps.

Without lingering, Jiang Hao used Merge with Light and Blend with Dust again, chasing after the white-haired elder.

This person would ambush; he must be killed first.

“Want to kill me? Is it that easy?”

The white-haired elder steadied himself, roared angrily, and his body was covered with countless forces, his eyes filled with madness.

He decisively burned his life force, sacrificing all his life, not wanting to be killed by Jiang Hao in the shortest time.

Boom!

The white-haired elder’s body erupted with violent power, forming a giant beast that launched a reckless charge.

Heading straight for Jiang Hao.

“Die!”

The old voice was filled with madness.

Faced with such an attack, Jiang Hao did not hesitate.

Hidden Spirit Manifestation was activated.

He raised the Heavenly Saber, and a great momentum surged.

The second form of the Heavenly Saber, Mountain Suppressor.

The force of a myriad of mountains manifested, an invisible blade edge suppressing everything, colliding with the beast.

Boom!

The saber light shattered everything, and under Mountain Suppressor, all beasts were but fish on the chopping board.

Rumble!

The giant beast disintegrated at a visible speed.

Finally, the white-haired elder’s figure emerged, and Mountain Suppressor pressed down upon him.

Bang!

The saber slashed through.

The white-haired elder’s life force shattered, his body gradually disintegrating.

Jiang Hao did not hesitate, moving again, ready to strike another blow to eliminate any future trouble.

The bearded old man charged over, and Jiang Hao had no choice but to use the remaining Moon Slash from his left wrist to force him back.

Only then was he able to approach the white-haired elder and send him on his way with the Heavenly Saber.

Pfft!

The blade pierced through the elder’s body.

“You…”

The white-haired elder looked at Jiang Hao, losing life signs in reluctance before falling into the endless abyss.

Jiang Hao glanced at the abyss, retreated back to the stone platform, and asked the trembling bearded old man.

“Surprised?”
