Chapter 560: Drawing the Sword

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A spirit beast holding a fish made Jiang Hao feel strange.

However, considering this spirit beast was a Primordial Spirit Realm demon, it seemed normal upon reflection.

Looking at the open-mouthed green fish, Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment.

He wanted to appraise the fish.

He didn’t know what the green fish wanted to say, so he would have to wait.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao said to the green fish, “Do you have something to say?”

They stared at each other for a while.

“Master, what are you doing?” asked the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao remained silent for a moment, then walked toward the riverbank.

“Come here. Put the fish back in the water.” Perhaps it could speak in the water.

Splash!

The green fish was thrown back into the river.

Now, it was happily swimming and started to blow bubbles.

These bubbles were arranged in a pattern. But they were quickly dispersed by the flowing water.

The once cheerful green fish looked anxious.

Jiang Hao gently waved his hand, and the river water around the green fish stopped flowing.

It seemed to stand alone from the river.

The green fish began happily blowing bubbles again.

Soon, these bubbles formed a sentence.

“Benefactor, what do you want?”

Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Why did it seem like the fish thought he was asking for a reward?

He didn’t have to ask about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl, the fish already knew it.

So, why did the fish ask what he wanted?

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but marvel at the fish’s somewhat limited intelligence.

He sighed and conveyed his message: he didn’t want any reward.

For now, he would stick to just that. Otherwise, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.

After restoring the river water, Jiang Hao let the green fish leave. The spirit beast was silent for a moment. “Master, it can read!”

“Don’t you know how to read?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Everybody knows about me. I don’t have to bother,” said the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao glanced at it and didn’t say much.

This was a Primordial Spirit Realm demon, and there was no reason for it to learn to read.

After drawing some talismans in the courtyard, Jiang Hao left for the mountain gate.

However, before leaving, he asked about Lin Zhi’s situation. “I had him go mining,” said the spirit beast indifferently.

“Mining?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“Yeah, to the mining cave. There are more people to beat him there, which can improve his ability to withstand beatings,” the spirit beast said.

Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment.

In the end, he didn’t ask how it sent him there.

It would only spout some nonsense about being a great demon.

Jiang Hao wished he could go to the mines too. But he would only be able to go if his master or a senior assigned him.

However, if he went there, he might attract the attention of Hong Yuye.

The next day, Jiang Hao was waiting for news.

The Blackheaven Sect would definitely not let this matter slide.

Having lost an important person, they would definitely find a scapegoat.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall would have to give an explanation.

Otherwise, things might break down and could easily lead to a direct war. The Heavenly Note Sect was unwilling to engage in major conflicts.

However, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Hao didn’t wait for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall. Instead, he encountered people from the Blackheaven Sect.

A sword descended from the sky. An angry man flew down on it. “You monster, prepare to die!”

Light blossomed, and the momentum surged as it targeted Jiang Hao.

Facing this sudden attack, Nan Yushu and the others were quite surprised.

They had no idea why this person was attacking them.

Jiang Hao understood, but he pretended to be confused.

Yet even if he was confused, he couldn’t just let himself be slaughtered.

Clang!

The Half-Moon Blade came out of its sheath.

He used Demonic Sound Slash.

Boom!

The light sword attacked, and the two forces nullified each other.

The tremendous impact made him retreat a bit.

At this point, he finally got a clear look at the assailant.

It was a young man. He was standing in midair, with various spiritual lights around him. His aura was immense.

His eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness as he held his sword ready.

Jiang Hao knew that this was an impulsive disciple, but no one stopped him, which was surprising.

“Demonic Sound Slash? It was indeed you,” said the person confidently.

“Friend, is there a misunderstanding between us?” Jiang Hao said politely.

“Misunderstanding? You monster of the demonic path! Today, I will avenge Junior Brother Murong,” the person said.

He looked at the people behind him.

“Fellow juniors, follow me to subdue this monster.”

There were a total of six people.

The weakest was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They all responded with an affirmative and came to stand behind their senior.

They all unsheathed their long swords, and for a moment, the seven swords united to form an attack formation.

A powerful aura erupted. They pointed their swords at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao furrowed his brow.

It was unbelievable. They were so impulsive that they would attempt to kill him based solely on a Demon Sound Slash Technique that might have been used by anyone.

They really didn’t regard themselves as outsiders.

However, such an attack couldn’t be brushed under the rug.

The flash of swords came towards him, and Jiang Hao frowned.

The Demonic Sound Slash operated at full speed.

The Half-Moon Blade swung and attacked.

He was constantly forced back, but they didn’t deal any substantial damage.

He could only counterattack during brief pauses.

The seven sword strikes were indeed formidable and almost flawless. They hardly left him with any opening.

Sword light and sword shadows collided and burst with power in midair.

The people below were somewhat surprised.

Nan Yushu and the others didn’t rush to make a move. They wanted to see how this would unfold.

More importantly, they didn’t know what had happened, and intervening rashly could easily cause trouble.

It seems that Jiang Hao was about to be defeated.

“He’s very strong. Even if he is defeated, it would be justified, ” said Kong Hu.

Four were at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

So many people had joined to defeat one person. It was admirable on Jiang Hao’s part.

“I’ve always heard that the Blood Wish Path can help with a rapid breakthrough in cultivation but has an unstable foundation. Now it seems that was a bit inaccurate,” Xia Cun said.

Clang!

There was a collision of swords and a blade in the air. At that moment, Jiang Hao finally saw the opponent’s weakness.

Instead of retreating, he moved forward, evaded the opponent’s attack, and arrived next to the opponent. He then swung his blade.

The Half-Moon Blade descended, swiftly and decisively. It severed the hand of the man holding the sword.

The sudden change left the opponent astonished. They were unable to understand what had happened.

However, anger filled his eyes. When he was about to counter with his techniques, moonlight emerged.

A cut shattered his neck, and blood gushed out.

Immediately, a figure appeared above him, and a foot stepped on his head.

Bam!

The man lost his balance and fell to the ground heavily.

Weakness and intense pain turned into fear and spread throughout his body.

It seemed that everything was happening beyond his expectations.

Blood began to spread. He felt death approaching..
