Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Senior Sister, Be More Wary of People Like Me in Your Next Life

As long as it wasn’t the deepest part, the mine tunnels were interconnected in all directions.

Yan Hua walked through the tunnels without any signs of getting lost or losing her target.

She moved forward methodically.

Along the way, she felt some intense heat.

It was because there was a magma vent ahead, which also had an exit path, though it was difficult to traverse.

“Is this an attempt to escape the mine alone? Or is it to check the situation outside from here?”

Yan Hua licked her lips; she was no longer in a hurry.

This was a process, and she enjoyed the thrill of the hunt.

It was exhilarating.

She then took out a small knife, specifically used for slicing open people’s skin.

“Ah, I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees me open his chest and take out his heart,” Yan Hua murmured with a low chuckle, waving the knife in her hand.

“His expression must be priceless.”

Soon after, she vanished from the spot.

A short while later.

She passed through various intersections and chased down to a lava cave filled with intense heat.

In the middle of the cave, there was a surge of magma, and falling into it would easily turn one to ash.

Upon reaching the lava cave, Yan Hua was somewhat astonished.

“Why run so fast? There’s no reason for it.”

She looked around and, although she saw a path leading to the opposite side, she didn’t see any traces.

This indicated that the person had most likely not crossed over yet.

Her tracking method also hadn’t reached the other side, so…

Yan Hua’s lips curled into a smile, and then she pressed the knife against the edge.

Clang!

A blade was blocked.

However, from the other side, a dagger pierced her neck with lightning speed, catching her off guard.

She didn’t care and turned to look behind her.

Swoosh!

A long blade pierced through her.

Then, a blade severed her dagger-wielding arm, which fell to the ground.

This shocked her, and she continued to search for the person.

But then, swords pierced her from the left, right, and behind, turning her into a porcupine with numerous spiritual swords.

Yet, her expression didn’t change, nor did any blood spill.

“Junior Brother, you really are mischievous,” Yan Hua turned her head to look behind her, twisting her neck directly without moving her body.

At this moment, she finally saw a figure in her eyes—it was Jiang Hao.

Faced with such a Yan Hua, Jiang Hao’s heart sank.

Yan Hua was harder to kill than he had anticipated, seemingly without a vital point.

No matter how he attacked, there wasn’t a single trace of blood on her.

“Someone who plays with puppets has turned themselves into a puppet?”

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

If it weren’t for the identification confirming that this was her true body, he would have already retreated.

Feeling the anomaly in her, he appraised Yan Hua once again.

It said that the vital point existed but was difficult to capture.

“Senior Sister seems to be looking for me,” he said softly.

“When did Junior Brother find out?”

Yan Hua was curious but still expressed her admiration, “Junior Brother is really more outstanding than I thought. No wonder you were chosen to cultivate the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Senior Sister really likes you.”

“How many more traitors like Senior Sister are there in the sect?” Jiang Hao asked.

He was nurturing his blade, needing a certain momentum.

Now it should be ready.

“Do you have any last words, Junior Brother?”

Yan Hua didn’t answer Jiang Hao’s question; instead, she asked while pulling out the spiritual swords from her body and correcting her posture.

Her casual demeanor indicated that everything was under control; she had set up many things along the way, and Jiang Hao couldn’t escape.

At this moment, Jiang Hao had no intention of fleeing.

He reached out and took out the Primordial Heaven Saber, with Purple Qi swirling around the hilt.

“Senior Sister, remember to be more wary of people like me in your next life. Let’s forget about this life.”

As the words fell, Jiang Hao swung his saber.

The momentum rose, and myriad great mountains pressed down.

The second form of the Heavenly Saber, Mountain Suppresor.

Boom!

A majestic and overwhelming force descended from the Heavenly Saber, suppressing everything in its path.

Yan Hua, who had initially been somewhat dismissive, suddenly froze in shock.

It was as if everything had exceeded her expectations, and even in her normally calm eyes, a flash of terror could be seen.

But it didn’t last long; the Heavenly Saber fell, cutting through all obstacles.

Yan Hua’s thoughts ceased on the spot, and until her death, she never knew what technique had killed her.

Bang!

Flesh and blood scattered everywhere.

Under the weight of the mountain, Yan Hua was reduced to dust.

For safety’s sake, Jiang Hao delivered two more strikes with the Heavenly Saber.

Still worried that Yan Hua might rise again, he threw all her remains into the magma.

He even cut off and threw in the blood-stained rocks.

Only then did he feel at ease.

Standing in place, he waited for a moment to ensure that no one would come back up before Jiang Hao began to consider his next steps.

“Yan Hua’s death shouldn’t affect me, but now I need to figure out what’s happening outside. If the Tianyin Sect is defeated or fails to respond in time, this place will soon be blown open, and I need to leave quickly.”

He looked ahead. This path led outside, but he might run into Situ Jian and his group, so he needed to wait a moment to let them go first.

Engaging with those four would bring no benefits.

Having lost the element of surprise, it was hard to say what might happen if a fight broke out.

Glancing once more at the magma, Jiang Hao felt that in the future, he should be wary of people from the Tiansheng Sect.

If Yan Hua was this difficult to kill, Ming Yi, as a candidate for the Saintess, would likely be even more dangerous.

And since Senior Brother Mu Qi had a relationship with the candidate Holy Maiden, he also warranted caution.

It would be unfortunate if he were to be used without even realizing it.

Boom!

The mine shook again, and the magma surged upward.

“I can’t wait any longer.”

Jiang Hao put away the Heavenly Saber and was about to set off.

But just as he took a step, he stopped and turned back toward the way he had come, noticing someone entering.

“The other path is blocked. We can only take this one,” came the voice of Bei Xue.

Soon, Situ Jian and his group entered the cavern, and Jiang Hao found himself face to face with them.

Everyone was taken aback.
