Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1479  A Deadly Trap, Jiang Hao's Narrow Escape (2)

He spat a mouthful of blood.

He knew that this trip would be dangerous, and he would be lucky even to have a narrow route of escape.

With a boom, the Mountain Suppression shattered. Jiang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, and all his defensive treasures were disintegrated.

Their figures flashed in and out of sight, and their battle shook the earth and sky.

Jiang Hao was sent flying with the Heavenly Blade in his hand.

Three mountains loomed behind him. The Mountain Sea Seal flared within him and infused every inch of his being with dense, ancient power.

Jiang Hao was sent hurtling backward and his bones fractured.

He finally understood why Hong Yuye had warned him not to go out. She must have seen the ominous signs around him.

Ao Shi's eyes narrowed in shock.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao cursed the constant trouble that seemed to follow him.

As long as Jiang Hao could keep him occupied, Xiao Li might be able to escape.

At that moment, Jiang Hao reached a pinnacle he had never touched before.

Although he was not certain of the being's power, the aura was familiar. He had sensed something like that back in the Heavenly Note Sect.

Jiang Hao's heart sank when he saw the figure hovering in the sky.

His sudden disappearance left everyone in awe of his abilities, though none of them knew why he had suddenly disappeared.

But he was unsure. He did not know if it would take time for her to reach, or if she might choose not to come at all.

He instructed her to activate the golden ring so that he could reach her instantly.

After all, he could not ever understand what went in Hong Yuye's mind.

Yet despite the relentless onslaught, Ao Shi's attacks remained casual, as if he was not even trying.

"The Forbidden Dragon…" he whispered.

Jiang Hao felt like a fool who constantly overestimated his abilities.

As Jiang Hao stared up at the sky, a deep sense of foreboding settled over him.

He knew he would not die easily. He hoped that help would arrive when he needed it.

Ao Shi looked at Jiang Hao in surprise. "A mere True Immortal blocking my attack with just one strike? You're definitely not ordinary."

This was the key to the Dragon Clan's ascension.

But this being was above the Heavenly Immortal Realm. This being was a Transcendent.

Ao Shi's fists were as fast as dragons, but Jiang Hao's blade was not far behind. Each blow was met by Jiang Hao's blade.

So, this is what she meant.

He was not surprised but sighed inwardly.

Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him. His mind was blank. He recalled what Senior Sister Miao had said a while ago.

"Run, don't look back. Use the power of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl to escape. If you manage to reach the sea, I'll treat you to something delicious…" Jiang Hao's voice echoed in her mind.

The Indestructible Vajra was broken.

It was as though a dragon spirit had appeared under her feet and shot her forward. Her speed surpassed that of an ordinary True Immortal.

She immediately headed to Jiang Hao's courtyard, only to find it deserted.

A massive heavenly blade struck down and shattered the phantom with a thunderous boom.

The void space enveloped her, and a True Dragon phantom that stood between heaven and earth blocked her path.

This strike carried the essence of the blade he had comprehended within the Great Overarching Heaven.

Any move was useless when facing absolute strength.

With a boom, Jiang Hao was sent flying backward. At that moment, Gripping the Heavenly Blade, he drew upon the shattered remnants of the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

He could not just stand by and watch.

Jiang Hao glanced at it and flicked his finger.

Just as she was about to appear where Jiang Hao was, she heard a draconian roar.

If he went over to her, it would be confirmed that she was the Forbidden Dragon.

Meanwhile, in the Hundred Flowers Lake, Hong Yuye suddenly snapped open from her meditation.

They were after Xiao Li, and whatever they wanted, it was not something good.

But he had come anyway.

He looked at Bing Qing and the others. He pointed his finger at them and gave them a similar push to get them away from here.

His hand on the blade trembled.

However, each strike left wounds on Jiang Hao's body, and his blood stained the ground.

Crack!

Hong Yuye's face darkened. "Ancestral Dragon, you dare block my path?"

He handed Cheng Chou a few pills. "Focus on your cultivation. I'm going out for a while. If I don't return soon, the Spirit Herb Garden is in your care."

Jiang Hao recovered quickly and began to fight back with the Heavenly Blade.

Perhaps he felt that he would be lucky enough to have a slim chance of survival.

Ao Shi did not stop with his attacks.

Jiang Hao's breathing grew heavier as he continued to fight. His blade never faltered.

'What is she trying to do?' He wondered. At that moment, Jiang Hao appeared beside Xiao Li.

Without hesitation, he used the One Heart Pal and disappeared from the spot.

Without hesitating, Xiao Li started running.

A sliver of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl's power surged through him as he unleashed his most potent attack, the Blade of Destiny.

The Nine Heavens Battle Armor quickly recovered, and the broken Immortal Mountain Sea Shield was also reassembled.

He had honed his Heavenly Blade and had gained much power and confidence. He might even be able to contend with a Heavenly Immortal.

With this newfound power, he met Ao Shi's attack head-on.

"Master!" said the spirit beast.

In the heart of the southern region, Jiang Hao materialized from the golden ring. He instantly felt an immense pressure bearing down on him.

At this moment, the Revival of Withered Tree ability activated itself and revived the Indestructible Vajra, which, in turn, enveloped him once again.

Boom!

Before Cheng Chou could respond, Jiang Hao stepped out and vanished into thin air.

With that, he focused on the hidden seal he had placed on Xiao Li, which allowed his voice to reach her.

It was like the aura of an immortal. It was definitely above the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

He used the sixth form of the Heavenly Blade, Galaxy.

"Senior Brother?" Cheng Chou called softly.

Ao Shi laughed. "How amusing… You truly believe your future self could help me? You're confident, but who isn't a prodigy in their own right? You're overestimating your worth."

The Immortal Mountain Sea Shield shattered with a loud crack. The force of the fist collided with the Nine Heavens Battle Armor, which disintegrated on impact. The fist then landed on Jiang Hao with a resounding boom.

His body transformed into something imperishable as he activated the Indestructible Vajra. Following that, the Nine Heavens Battle Armor appeared on his body.

A True Dragon phantom shot forth. However, just as the phantom appeared, it suddenly encountered a vast Heavenly Blade.

Jiang Hao retreated step by step. His injuries became more and more serious, and his body fell apart with every blow.

With a wry smile, Jiang Hao accepted his fate.

But what choice did he have?

The aura of the Great Dao surrounded him, and the patterns of the Dao faintly appeared.

Roar!

His brow shone with Divine Might like a third eye.

But Ao Shi was already in front of him. He struck out with his palm.

"Senior Brother!" Xiao Li said excitedly.

A deafening crash echoed as the massive palm attack shattered. Jiang Hao, fully armed, hovered in the sky.

Jiang Hao took another step forward and slashed down with the Mountain Sea Seal.

Finally, he understood why he had to capture this girl and why he had to devour her if he could not bring her back.

A cascade of stars fell, and the blade cleaved through the phantom dragon.

Ao Shi looked at him in genuine surprise. "You're quite formidable. Let's see how far you can push your limits."

Jiang Hao met the gaze of the being in front of him. "Senior, what if you pretended you never saw her? In return, I could do three favors for you in the future."

Jiang Hao's destined strike was thwarted before it could fully manifest.

His left hand raised the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield, which resonated with the Primordial Heavenly Blade in his right.

Boom!

High in the sky, Ao Shi watched as the girl below suddenly stopped and took out a mysterious ring.

Without further thought, Jiang Hao unleashed all his power and slashed with the Heavenly Blade.

Boom!

However, Jiang Hao did not give her the chance to speak.

It seemed she had sensed it all along.

No matter how many people fought with him, it would all be in vain.

The moment Jiang Hao sensed it, an overwhelming sense of impending doom consumed him.

He did not feel happy for blocking Ao Shi's attack. He knew that the other party was just toying with him and testing his limits. Perhaps he was even teasing Jiang Hao out of curiosity. Meanwhile, Ao Shi's other powers were already chasing after Xiao Li.

With a casual wave, Ao Shi shattered the descending stars and struck out with a fist.

Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and brandished his Heavenly Blade.

The Immortal Mountain Sea Shield could not be restored, and the Nine Heavens Battle Armor did not stand a chance to be repaired. The Indestructible Vajra had shattered, and the Revival of Withered Tree could now revive everything at the same time.

The impact shook the world.

His mind cleared as he activated Clear and Pure Heart and the Reappearance of Hidden Spirit abilities.

His eyes shone with surprise. It was no wonder the Ancestral Dragon was so insistent on finding her. He had even transferred his power and divine sense to him.

Jiang Hao showed no fear and stepped forward.

The Dragon Clan...

But if he did not go to her, it would mean he would be leaving her to whatever brutal fate awaited her while he watched.

Jiang Hao's blade strike had just landed when all the blade intent shattered.

He unleashed the power of the peak of the True Immortal Realm, which fell on her. Her figure disappeared on the spot like a beam of light.

Jiang Hao blocked the attack with the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

A powerful force sent the spirit beast flying into the distance.

He used the second form of the Heavenly Blade, Mountain Suppression.

But since he was here, he could not just sit back and do nothing.

Within the void, she followed the thread of their connection.

There was no chance of winning.

Ao Shi frowned and waved his hand to stop her.

But before it could land, Ao Shi let out a draconian roar.

With that, Ao Shi launched another attack. This time, his power bore down like an unyielding mountain.

"Run and don't look back," Jiang Hao's voice echoed in the rabbit's mind.

Jiang Hao's injuries started to worsen, and new injuries appeared everywhere on his body.

Soon, Jiang Hao sensed Xiao Li's golden ring.

This was an outcome of his deep understanding of the Path of Death.

This revelation made him pause. Jiang Hao fell silent.
