So the cultivator who had escaped didn’t have ti to use his movent technique with his spirit qi before his head was stabbed from behind. Only ten cultivators had decided to run in the first wave, the others were still in a stunned state. But when they saw that Jiang Hao had killed ten cultivators in just two seconds, their breath turned cold.
Seeing their protective barriers being torn like a thin piece of cloth was enough to break their will for any retaliation. They could already sll death.
Jiang Hao had targeted the disciple who had moved first. This had created unimaginable fear in every single one of them. No one was actively willing to take the first step, because the way Jiang Hao was appearing in an instant didn’t seem like re speed.
It was as if he was teleporting. This thought created even more fear inside their minds because if they took the first step, they would definitely die.
Three more beasts died just because their masters were dead—they couldn’t do anything.
They were totally shaken internally. How could this person be so terrifying? Is it even possible for a Core Formation cultivator to have this kind of strength? Could a physique really make this much difference?
There was a brief pause after Jiang Hao killed the last cultivator among the original ten who had tried to escape to the safe zone first.
The cultivators who were watching the developnt looked toward Jiang Hao in trepidation. Just a mont ago he had looked helpless and tired, and before they could even understand what had happened, Jiang Hao had killed ten cultivators in almost the blink of an eye.
So of them understood that it wasn’t rely his speed, but sothing similar to teleporting directly to his enemy—and that was even more terrifying.
Jiang Hao looked toward the twenty-one cultivators of the three sects. The disciple from the monastery who wanted to give him redemption was looking aghast, as if his soul was about to leave his body.
There was no chance they would be able to escape, even if they ran together. It wouldn’t be possible now. He could still use his abilities inside this array. The Nihility Sphere would be enough to kill every one of them.
He looked toward them and moved again toward the array.
His every step was like a death knell for the disciples inside, but they didn’t take a single step back, fearing that they would be the one to be killed first.
Finally, a disciple who was the leader of the Azure Sky Sect spoke.
"We all will be killed if we don’t move, so escape together, let fate decide who survives. After crossing the array barrier, use the minor teleportation array."
The disciple knew that winning was impossible. They could only try to survive this ordeal. Their information wasn’t accurate—this wasn’t an enemy who could be defeated by a re spirit qi restriction array. Forget about the array; it was impossible for a Core Formation cultivator to even dream of touching him, much less hurting him.
This information should be passed on to their counterparts. If not, one by one they would be killed. They had to send the information sohow. He could have used an information-sending talisman, but talismans of those types were not allowed inside the inheritance site.
The other problem was that they were inside a spirit isolation array. Talismans required spirit qi from nature to activate, so any kind of talisman wouldn’t work here. That’s why they couldn’t activate any talisman.
Only talismans activated before entering the array were valid.
Just as he opened his mouth to say "run," Jiang Hao appeared in front of him and plunged his sword into his mouth.
"I think he wanted to ask you guys to start running for your lives."
Even after he said that, no one moved for a second as they were scared out of their wits. But imdiately everyone understood the aning of that disciple’s final ssage—they would be dead one way or another, so the only option was to run.
Many of them ca to the sa conclusion and started to run toward the edge of the array.
Jiang Hao teleported and targeted the disciples who were nearest to the safe zone first. While teleporting, he always threw a Nihility Sphere toward the disciples running on the other side. Every teleportation ended in the death of two cultivators.
Even before they could escape from the array, the nearest side was totally cleared. It was a simple, clean massacre—like a tiger had entered a den of sheep.
Only five were left when they reached the edge of the array. Before they could even bring out their talismans, Jiang Hao ca behind one of the disciples while the Nihility Sphere struck another disciple.
Only three were left when they finally managed to bring out their talismans. These three consisted of one from the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary, one from the Azure Sky Sect, and one from the unknown monastery.
It wasn’t a coincidence—Jiang Hao had done this intentionally.
He threw his sword while teleporting. The sword hit the disciple from the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary in the hand and easily penetrated it, causing the talisman to fall.
Jiang Hao appeared in front of the Azure Sky Sect disciple and took the talisman, then disappeared again. This ti, he appeared behind the monk from the monastery who had already used a minor teleportation and was about to step through, but Jiang Hao caught him by the nape and threw him back.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. None of the three disciples had been able to escape using their minor teleportation talismans.
The disciple of the Azure Sky Sect was unhard but didn’t move, as he knew there was no point. Seeing that Jiang Hao hadn’t killed any of them yet was more reassuring than betting his life on trying to run away.
The monk was none other than the one who had spoken to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao was still holding him by the nape.
"First of all, tell which sect you are from. The way you guys were standing together with these two sects ans that you’re quite well-known.
I’m quite sure that we don’t have any kind of conflict with you, then why target us? Just because these people said so?"
Jiang Hao had thought that other sects wouldn’t get involved—especially the top sects, who shouldn’t have believed these two sects.
But it looked like he was wrong again.
"Sigh... Patron, it’s not about whether we believe these two sects or not. The problem is that you are already enemies with them. And if you survive, then it will be the end of humanity in this world. How it will happen doesn’t matter—you will beco the cause nonetheless."
When the other cultivators heard this, they were stunned.
"How amusing. So you want to kill to prevent that? Monk, tell —is it right or wrong? Don’t reason with , just tell if what you were doing is evil or righteous. Simple."
The monk didn’t speak for a few seconds before saying,
"A lesser evil for a greater good is not considered evil."
"Is it? Interesting."
Jiang Hao shook his head and didn’t comnt further. It was pointless.
"You must have information about my senior sister, right? Which city is she in now?"
The question was for all three of them, but no one spoke.
Targeting Jiang Hao alone seed impossible. If he joined together with Ming Yue, then it would be even more challenging. So if they wanted to kill them, their only chance might be when these two were alone.
"Here is an offer for you all—the person who tells that will be allowed to leave alive. Don’t you want to reveal my information to your sect mates? So what do you think? But rember, you have to take a heavenly oath to reveal the truth. Also, I only need the information from one of you, so choose quickly."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard two voices almost simultaneously. The monk didn’t speak because he doubted Jiang Hao would let him live.
"Oh well. Since you both spoke at the sa ti, I can either choose one of you at random or you can challenge each other. The winner will be given the chance. Whatever you choose, be quick—I don’t have much ti to waste on you.
And also, I am more inclined to have you fight each other, so if even one of you chooses to fight, then it shall be a duel."
The disciples of both sects gritted their teeth. They knew Jiang Hao was humiliating them in front of everyone, but the reality was that they couldn’t do anything. They had to accept this humiliation if they wanted to live.
The others shook their heads. Jiang Hao was just too strong. He had brought down the disciples of these three sects from their pedestal.
True, these might have only been ordinary disciples in their sects, but they doubted that even the geniuses from these sects would be a match for Jiang Hao. Even if they ca in a group, it wouldn’t matter.
Unless they sent soone from a higher realm—which was impossible unless Jiang Hao accepted their challenge or they created a trap that truly worked against him—it was impossible to kill him.
"So what will it be?"
Both disciples looked at each other. They weren’t friends. In fact, in reality, the two sects were silent enemies. They had only united for the sa cause.
Given that the disciple of the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary was already hurt, the disciple of the Azure Sky Sect didn’t hesitate and accepted the fight.
"I accept to fight."
The disciple from the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary cursed internally, but there was nothing he could do.
