Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Killing the Enemy

Lou Feng, still struggling to believe that Jiang Hao had reached Foundation Establishment completion, didn’t dare to ponder too much.

He had to kill his opponent first.

He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, using it to draw out droplets of blood from his body.

Each drop carried a scorching aura, then surged towards Jiang Hao like shooting stars.

At the same time, Qing Xue didn’t stand idly by; she launched her attack on Jiang Hao.

A torrent of blood rained down, bombarding continuously, while Jiang Hao had to dodge and resist the sword shadows wielded by Qing Xue.

Blood rained down like droplets, the sword intent cold and powerful.

Boom!

The blood exploded on the ground, creating large craters.

Bang!

Sword light swept across, shattering trees.

Under the dark night, the sword and saber emitted sparks, a life-and-death struggle within inches.

Jiang Hao, surrounded and attacked, was bound to lose if this continued.

Ignoring the blood attacks, he spun the Shadow Saber, and a Demon Sound Slash, like thunder, appeared, slashing towards Qing Xue.

Naturally, Qing Xue also used her strongest technique.

Boom!

Sword and saber clashed, their power sweeping out like rings of light across the surroundings.

For a moment, the two were locked in a fierce contest.

Lou Feng launched a blood attack, only to find that most of it was blocked by Jiang Hao’s magical treasure.

Without hesitation, he took advantage of Jiang Hao’s immobilization, drew his broadsword, and with a spit of blood to empower the blade, he rushed forward at high speed and brought the sword down in a swift strike.

With Qing Xue’s strong frontal assault and Lou Feng’s sneak attack from the side, the situation was tense.

However, Jiang Hao remained calm, his gaze towards Lou Feng now tinged with a trace of Purple Qi.

This Purple Qi spread rapidly across his body.

The broadsword came slashing down.

Jiang Hao tilted his head to dodge and then raised his hand, lightly tapping the broadsword with the back of his fingers.

By this time, the Purple Qi had spread to his fingertips.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out as the broadsword snapped in two.

The broken blade flew off, and Lou Feng inwardly cursed his luck, but by then, he was already upon Jiang Hao, only to see a palm covered in Purple Qi strike his chest with the speed of lightning.

Bang!

Crack!

The force of the palm pierced through his body, shattering his ribs and crushing his internal organs.

Spurt!

Lou Feng spat out blood and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

At this point, Jiang Hao turned his attention to Qing Xue.

The Primordial Heart Sutra surged within him to its peak, Purple Qi enveloping his entire body, even covering the Shadow Saber.

He moved the saber, and with a burst of tremendous force, he repelled Qing Xue with a loud boom.

Before she could even land, Jiang Hao swung the Shadow Saber, the Purple Qi swirling, tracing a perfect arc.

It was still the Demon Sound Slash, but now imbued with Purple Qi.

Whoosh!

The saber’s shadow whistled past, cutting through everything in its path, and then pierced Qing Xue’s body just as she touched the ground.

In disbelief, she looked at Jiang Hao, understanding her own dire state, with one question in her mind.

Why is he so strong?

Crack!

Her long sword was neatly severed and fell to the ground.

Not only that, her body also began to crack, her life force dissipating.

Seeing this, Lou Feng was terrified and struggled to flee.

Bang!

He hadn’t gone far when a saber pierced his neck and pinned him to a tree.

It was Jiang Hao who had thrown the Shadow Saber.

“We’re dead, and everyone will know it was you,” Qing Xue said, her eyes filled with unyielding resentment.

“Mm,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“I know, but no one will investigate, as you’ve told me.”

With that, he took out ten Ten Thousand Swords Talismans.

Each one possessed the power of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even for someone at the early stages of Foundation Establishment, it was enough.

He divided the talismans into two sets, seven for one and three for the other, and then launched them at Qing Xue and Lou Feng.

In an instant, a thousand swords were unleashed.

Moments later, Jiang Hao looked at the two spots, only to see the remains of the two from Tianhuan Pavilion, their bodies broken and lifeless.

They were completely dead.

Spurt-

Only after the battle did he spit out a mouthful of blood.

From the beginning, he had been forcing a breakthrough, and his body was already injured.

Just now, he had forcibly stimulated the power of the Primordial Heart Sutra, compounding his injuries.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted the Ten Thousand Swords Talismans; he would have personally finished them off with a couple of strikes.

With the crisis resolved, he immediately sat down cross-legged to heal his wounds.

However, it wasn’t long before several demons approached, drawn by the noise of the fight.

Five of them.

Seeing them, Jiang Hao sighed.

When it rains, it pours.

……

A month later.

Near the exit of the Demon Cavern.

Zheng Shijiu of Bingyue Valley stood waiting, holding a paper fan and gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

“Senior Brother arrived early. You must have had quite the harvest on this trip, right?”

Xin Yuyue of Leihuo Peak arrived on her flying sword.

The Demon Cavern was full of treasures, and diligent seekers would always find something.

She had encountered some, with more luck than danger.

This mission for the sect, even without the rewards, had already been profitable for her.

Zheng Shijiu smiled slightly and said, “It seems Junior Sister has encountered quite a few opportunities. I wasn’t so lucky; I only found some minor things.”

“Senior Brother is being modest. Speaking of which, I didn’t encounter many demons on my way back, not even one. I should have completed the mission, right?” Xin Yuyue said.

“Mm, I also didn’t encounter many demons. The danger came more from some beasts,” Zheng Shijiu nodded.

At that moment, Xin Yuyue also looked into the distance and asked curiously.

“Does Senior Brother think Junior Brother Jiang will make it back?”

“He probably won’t,” Zheng Shijiu pondered for a moment before replying.

“I actually followed their tracks and found that Lou Feng and Qing Xue were moving together with a purpose. In the end, they must have encountered each other. Facing the combined attack of someone at the later stage of Foundation Establishment and another at the peak of Foundation Establishment, even if Junior Brother Jiang has some tricks up his sleeve, he couldn’t have survived.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it, after all, we didn’t see what happened,” Xin Yuyue said with a shrug, then continued.

“What if Junior Brother Jiang comes back?”

“That’s impossible,” Zheng Shijiu shook his head.

“What if he really does come back?” Xin Yuyue asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shijiu said gravely, “That would be a big problem.”
