Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Killing Jiang Hao Takes Only One Move

Situ Jian shook his head, “I’ve stopped setting up.”

Hearing this, the others were somewhat surprised.

Although they had been assigned to work together, they had waited several days before pretending to be familiar with each other, while casually setting up some minor things around the area.

Being detected wasn’t a problem. They weren’t without cultivation, so it was normal for them to set up these things.

“Why did you stop?” Bei Xue from the Luoxia Sect asked.

“I did start setting up.”

Situ Jian sighed, “But after encountering Jiang Hao, I didn’t set up anything else.”

“Is he that dangerous?” Shangguan Wen asked.

“He shouldn’t be. I’ve observed him for a long time. He’s not that dangerous or powerful. Although he discovered my little actions, if he couldn’t even detect that, it would be too mediocre,” Jing Ru was also surprised.

“I trust my judgment. Although he may be as you all described, I just feel he’s very dangerous. Making small moves under his watch could easily backfire. So I’ve stopped any minor actions to prevent him from noticing. And haven’t you noticed?”

Situ Jian looked at the others, “He’s always the last one to leave, and with every step he takes, it seems like he’s checking the ground. I guess he’s looking for evidence of our little tricks. You all better be careful too.”

“Aren’t you being too sensitive?” Jing Ru asked.

“Maybe, but it’s better to be safe than sorry,” Situ Jian said with a smile.

“Now we just have to wait for the positioning to succeed. The little things we prepared earlier are enough; there’s no need to take risks. By the way, have you found a way out?”

“Yes,” Bei Xue nodded.

“I’ve found a route to leave the mine. When the time comes, we just need to lead people out. We don’t need to worry about anything else. I guess those seniors attacking the Tianyin Sect mine have other motives.”

“I think so too,” Situ Jian said casually while lying on the bed.

“Has everyone found the people they want to save? Remember to notify everyone when the time comes; don’t delay too long.”

“Once the plan starts, Jiang Hao might chase after us. Should we kill him?” Shangguan Wen inquired.

“My opinion is, as long as he doesn’t interfere with us, there’s no need to make an enemy of him,” Situ Jian said seriously.

Shangguan Wen looked towards Bei Xue and Jing Ru.

“If he really is capable, he might ruin our plans,” Jing Ru said.

“The overall situation is what’s important. We’ll adapt to the circumstances,” Bei Xue stated.

“Actually, it probably won’t take a second move to kill him,” Shangguan Wen pondered for a moment before continuing.

“I’ve observed him. In terms of strength, cultivation, and spirit, he has nothing extraordinary. Killing him should be easy.”

“Don’t rush. Observe for a few more days, then assess the situation. The Tianyin Sect is also keeping an eye on us; it won’t be as smooth as we think,” Situ Jian still disagreed.

The others didn’t say anything more and decided to wait a few more days.

……

In the following days, Jiang Hao continued mining.

Every time he saw Yan Hua, he could feel the burning gaze, as if Yan Hua wanted to make him his plaything that very night.

Jiang Hao didn’t care about this.

Because he was also waiting for an opportunity, if he wasn’t worried about being suspected by Liu Xingchen again, he would have approached Yan Hua days ago.

It had been five days since his promotion, which meant the people from Xuantian Sect were about to arrive.

And he was still about seven days away from his promotion.

It was a bit tight on time.

Just as he was about to check his panel, he suddenly heard a noise from the ore, as if something was coming out.

He immediately told the miners nearby, “Back off, quick.”

The miners were initially confused.

Only three who mined regularly reacted swiftly and retreated immediately.

At the same time, a huge serpent-like monster broke through the rocks.

With a rumble, rocks fell, and a powerful force was unleashed.

It was a Rock Drilling Serpent.

Because some couldn’t dodge in time, rocks fell on the confused miners.

The others anxiously moved aside.

At that moment, the Rock Drilling Serpent opened its mouth wide, intending to swallow the miners pinned by the rocks.

A Qi Refining ninth-level disciple who was supervising was about to attack.

Just as they were about to make their move, moonlight blossomed.

The trapped miners, not yet succumbing to despair, suddenly saw the moonlight appear, followed by the Rock Drilling Serpent’s head falling to the ground.

Several more beams of moonlight appeared, and the Rock Drilling Serpent was sliced into several pieces.

A mid-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beast was just killed like that.

Everything happened so quickly that everyone was a bit surprised.

Wu Jing looked incredulously in Jiang Hao’s direction, where he was sheathing his sword.

He had encountered Rock Drilling Serpent before, and they always caused quite a panic.

These snakes weren’t very strong in attack, but they had decent defense.

They could frustrate some inner disciples.

But unexpectedly, this time the Rock Drilling Serpent had just appeared and was immediately cut down with a single slash.

For a moment, some of the miners looked at Jiang Hao with newfound respect.

This steward was very strong.

Situ Jian watched Jiang Hao, feeling that it would be best to avoid any future encounters with him.

It was just an intuition.

There were three people pinned down, two men and one woman.

Jiang Hao walked over and saw that one man was uninjured, while the other had a serious leg injury.

The woman had some injuries to her arm.

She was dressed in the attire of another sect and was extremely beautiful.

The injured man next to her seemed to be a long-time miner, clutching his thigh in pain, his face ashen.

Jiang Hao took out a Pain Relieving Talisman and tossed it onto the woman’s arm, which immediately eased her discomfort.

She looked around somewhat smugly, feeling even as a prisoner she was better off than the others.

Seeing this, the man lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Jiang Hao then kicked him and said.

“Open your mouth.”

The man was puzzled but opened his mouth instinctively, and suddenly a pill entered his mouth, which he swallowed reflexively.

Immediately, his vitality surged, and his leg injury began to heal, his cultivation even improved.

“What is this…” he exclaimed in shock.

“Sit and rest, then continue mining,” Jiang Hao said expressionlessly.

As he was about to leave, the woman grabbed him, her words laced with the petulance of someone spoiled:

“Is that a Vital Energy Pill? I’m injured too, why didn’t I get one?”

Jiang Hao was taken aback, somewhat incredulous.
