Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1278: Corpses Everywhere

Chapter 1278: Corpses Everywhere

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, he walked straight outside.

He did not say anything else.

Duan Tiancheng wanted to tell him about the situation outside and that there was a late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator there.

Moreover, there were formations, restrictions, and poisonous gas outside.

Rus.h.i.+ng out would be very dangerous.

However, Jiang Hao did not give him the chance to speak and had already set off.

He still wanted to speak, but Bai Ye stopped him.

“It’s very dangerous to go out rashly like that,” Duan Tiancheng said.

“Junior Brother Jiang is a man of reason. If he went out like that, he must have a plan,” said Bai Ye.

“Should we go out and take a look?” Lu Baiye was curious.

Duan Tiancheng also wanted to go out and see if the other party had a way to deal with the problem.

If someone attacked, they would be prepared.

However, Bai Ye shook his head. “We should rest. Sometimes, seeing too much is not good.”

Bai Ye had a deep fear of Jiang Hao.

Knowing enough about him would make one understand how fast Jiang Hao’s cultivation had advanced.

Each time he advanced, although it was connected to the Blood Wish Path, he always became the top candidate.

Even if it was the Blood Wish Path, it was not simple.

It far exceeded the understanding of all Blood Wish Path cultivators.

Regardless, Jiang Hao’s capabilities were on a different level from theirs.

Duan Tiancheng hesitated but then started healing his injuries, though he still kept an eye on the cave entrance.

He wanted to see when Jiang Hao would return.

Lu Baiye did the same.

He did not dare to act rashly.

He was the weakest in the team, so it was better for him to listen to his Senior Brothers.

This was especially true about Senior Brother Bai Ye. Although he was only at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he used to be at the late stage.

He had even dared to challenge a top disciple.

He had almost succeeded.

Such a person would always be powerful even if he was weaker than before.

Otherwise, how was it possible that all of them were heavily injured but Bai Ye was still fine?

…

Jiang Hao walked out of the cave.

He knew about the formations and poison gas outside.

The moment he came out, the formation activated and restricted his movements.

It sealed his spiritual energy and body.

Moreover, the poison gas started to invade his body.

Just breathing it would rot the internal organs with its toxicity.

His arrival immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The three people at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm appeared outside the array formation, followed by six late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.

There were also some at the middle and early stages of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Jiang Hao even saw some disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect among them.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you finally came out.” Nalan Danyan stroked her beautiful hair and smiled. “Can’t hide anymore?”

“Yes. Senior Sister, you found me.” Jiang Hao nodded calmly. “Did you make such a big fuss just to kill me or for the treasure inside?”

“When you killed my Junior Sister, you should have known this day would come.” Nalan Danyan sneered. “Originally, we only wanted you to kneel at our feet and become our vessel, but you are too ruthless. If you are not suitable, then naturally, you should be destroyed.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He understood.

Then, he looked at the man in the middle, who had a tiger and leopard swimming around his upper body. “What about you? Are you here to watch the show or to kill me?”

“You killed the woman I admired, so I naturally have to avenge her. After killing you, I’ll console Lady Nalan. I’ve waited for you a long time,” said the muscular man and laughed. “Blame yourself for offending the wrong people.”

At this moment, a black-clad woman laughed. “Don’t look at me. I just came to see someone die. It’s just your bad luck that you’re the one.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

These people did not mention any treasure. They probably did not want others to know that they were here for that.

It did not matter what they were here for.

They did not intend to let him go. So, there was no need to waste his breath.

Jiang Hao strode forward.

“Don’t waste your efforts. You can’t get out of this formation. Even if you are at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, you won’t be able to break it in a short time…” Nalan Danyan said smugly.

However, before she finished speaking, there was a crack, and the formation shattered.

Jiang Hao took a step toward her.

She immediately activated her defenses.

The Demonic Sound Slash echoed everywhere, and Jiang Hao appeared in front of her.

He struck with the hilt of his sword.

Bam!

The air surged, her defensive treasure shattered, and the hilt struck Nalan Danyan’s face.

She grimaced as her teeth were knocked out. Then, she was sent flying backward.

Before she landed, she conjured a spell. A ferocious force surged forth.

Cras.h.!.+

His blade split the force in half. A figure materialized in front of her and stabbed at her.

The sword pierced through Nalan Danyan’s stomach.

“What were you saying?”

Jiang Hao’s calm voice echoed everywhere.

Nalan Danyan opened her mouth to call for help, but a sword light swept by.

Jiang Hao swung another sword.

Nalan Danyan’s vision blurred. The sword pinned her to the mining cave wall.

Everything had happened too quickly. The burly man roared and waved his fist.

Jiang Hao pulled out the Half-Moon Blade from Nalan Danyan’s body and brandished his sword to meet the enemy.

Boom! Boom!

Sword and fist clashed repeatedly, then both launched a powerful strike.

With a loud boom, the sword and fist collided again. A surge of force sent the sand and stones flying everywhere.

“Do you think you can break my body?” the burly man roared. “Die!”

He unleashed his power and tried to destroy Jiang Hao’s sword.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao did not clash head-on. Instead, he slid the hilt of the sword and made it rotate in a strange way.

It rotated along the man’s arm.

The man was shocked, but the sword had already reached him.

Just as he was about to counterattack, Jiang Hao appeared in front of him. His left hand gripped the hilt of his sword.

The sword was at the man’s throat.

Slas.h.!.+

He used the Thousand Miles Demonic Sound Slash.

The sword cut through the man’s neck and beheaded him.

Then, Jiang Hao threw a long spear, which nailed his head next to Nalan Danyan.

After that, he cut the man’s body into pieces, just in case.

After doing that, he turned to the black-clad woman.

She looked terrified. She forced out an amiable smile. “Fellow Disciple, you really are amazing. I was just curious about you. I never had any intention of becoming your enemy.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Hao looked at her with a calm face.

Then, the Half-Moon Blade rose.

“No! Please, spare me! I’ll willingly become your slave. Please let me go!” The woman begged.

“You are out of luck,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

The Thousand Miles Demonic Sound Slash roared again.

…

In the cave, Bai Ye and the others waited for a while, but they could not calm down.

“What’s happening outside?” Duan Tiancheng sighed. “Can Junior Brother Jiang really handle it? What is his plan?”

“If he fights, what will the result be?” Lu Baiye asked.

Duan Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, “Those at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm are very powerful. If Junior Brother Jiang finds a way to avoid them, he can fight. As a candidate for the seat of the top disciple, he’s obviously someone those people can’t compare to. But there are too many enemies. It’ll wear him down. He might be overwhelmed.”

“Will Senior Brother Jiang end up dead outside?” Lu Baiye was worried.

Before Duan Tiancheng could answer, there were footsteps outside.

The three of them immediately turned to look. As expected, it was a familiar figure with a familiar aura.

Jiang Hao held the Half-Moon Blade in his hand and slowly walked in.

His clothes had no bloodstains or wrinkles.

This left them puzzled about what Jiang Hao had done outside.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Jiang Hao said politely to the three. “It’s all settled.”

All settled?

How was it settled?

What had happened?

Logically, they would not give up easily because of the treasure.

“Can we go out and see?” Duan Tiancheng asked.

“Of course.” Jiang Hao nodded.

When they stepped out, their faces turned pale. They understood how the matter had been settled.

All the people at the peak, the late stage, the middle stage, and the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm were dead.

Corpses littered the ground.
