He hadn’t finished speaking when the moonlight streaked across.
In an instant, it slashed across his neck.
Splat!
Blood burst forth, staining the ground red.
The scent of death instantly enveloped everyone’s hearts.
“What did you just say?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
Hu Family Head clutched his neck, unable to speak.
“Where is Meng Qian?” Jiang Hao inquired.
“In, in the secret chamber cultivating,” the Hu Family Head managed to say.
“It seems it really is your own will,” Jiang Hao said somewhat emotionally.
In his gaze, the Hu Family Head was filled with dark energy and distortion at that moment.
This was the power of the Corpse Realm.
And for some reason, it could coexist with the Hu Family Head, or rather, many people in the Hu Family were like this.
Their cultivation had skyrocketed, all due to this power.
But essentially, they were dead.
Moreover, there was a string attached behind them.
Originally he was here to watch the show, but it always felt like he kept running into trouble.
“What are you talking about?” the lady of the house scolded furiously, “What does our Hu Family’s affair have to do with you, a good-for-nothing outsider….”
Whoosh!
A gust of wind suddenly blew past.
Following this, an invisible fire appeared on the lady of the house.
Painful wails spread in all directions.
But in the time it took to breathe, she had fallen to the ground, silent forevermore.
The spiritual fire was particularly fierce, consuming a person in an instant.
“Impressive technique,” at that moment, a woman dressed in black emerged from behind.
The moment she appeared, the space around her seemed to twist briefly.
The Hu Family Head frowned and said, “Senior Meng, there is no need for you to come out here.”
“He came for me,” Meng Qian looked at Jiang Hao and said, “How do you know of me? Would you like to pursue the Great Dao with me?
“If you have reached a bottleneck, I can help you.”
Jiang Hao looked at her and asked, “How did you appear in the Hu Family?”
“I was gravely injured, and a kind-hearted young master of the Hu Family saved me, so I helped them out,” Meng Qian explained.
“Helped out?” Jiang Hao smiled and said, “Nearly annihilated their clan?”
“But they are happy and delighted, aren’t they?” Meng Qian turned to look at Hu Huo and said, “Look at him, bedridden for years due to severe injuries, but with my assistance, not only did his cultivation improve, but he’s also been able to get up.”
Continuing, Meng Qian looked at the family head and said, “Then look at him, he would have stayed at the Immortal Ascension stage for his whole life, his spouse, resentful upon seeing a son-in-law rise to power, wanted to trample the other underfoot, but was powerless to do so.
“But with my help, they have both ascended.
“Grinding that son-in-law underfoot is just a matter of time.
“Isn’t this helping them?
“Without me, they would have lived in humiliation their entire lives.
“Better to live unrestrained once, even if death is the price, right?”
“Makes sense,” Jiang Hao nodded, then asked, “I wonder if the fairy guard knows of someone called Chu Tianshan?”
“I don’t,” Meng Qian shook her head.
“He had a dying wish, asking me to kill someone named Meng Qian, would that be you?” Jiang Hao said, adding, “The Heavenly Saint Sect’s Meng Qian.”
“That would be me,” Meng Qian said with a smile, “but can you really kill me?”
“Try?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I’ll wait for you to try,” Meng Qian said arrogantly.
Jiang Hao took a step forward, closing the distance quickly.
At that moment, distortions began surging wildly towards the path of Jiang Hao.
However, the moment they encountered Jiang Hao, they all shattered.
Boom!
In an instant, Jiang Hao was in front of Meng Qian.
Before her astonished gaze, a hand grasped her neck.
As she felt the choking presence, Meng Qian laughed, “Do you think you can kill me?”
Jiang Hao smiled, his five fingers emanating a white light, “Do you know what it means to be bound by a dream?”
As soon as his voice fell, the white light merged into her spirit, reached her divine soul, and began extending towards an endlessly twisted direction.
Traversing the void, entering the Corpse Sea, crossing beneath the sea.
Finally, atop a coffin, he saw a wisp of divine soul.
“Found you,” Jiang Hao whispered.
The moment Meng Qian inside the coffin saw the invisible great hand, she was struck with terror.
She thought hiding here would be absolutely safe, that nothing could go wrong.
But she never imagined someone would find their way in.
She wanted to flee.
But the instant she entertained the thought, the white light covered her.
At that time, Jiang Hao pinched with his hand.
Bang!
Meng Qian’s body seemed to be shattered by a vibration, her Primordial Spirit returning to her body.
Her face filled with fear: “Who are you?”
“The fairy guard has a short memory, huh? I am the one who’s killing you,” Jiang Hao said, tossing her high into the air with a casual throw.
Seeing this, Meng Qian attempted to escape.
But then, a slash of the blade swept across.
Spurt!
This blade severed her pinky finger.
Immediately afterwards, countless slashes came at her.
Finger after finger was chopped off, her body gradually diminishing piece by piece.
Agonizing pain overwhelmed her, turning into endless fear.
“Stop, I will do anything,” she cried out in terror.
Yet, the response she received was a cold voice, “My client wants you sliced into a thousand pieces. I hope the Saintess can endure it a bit longer.”
This terrible scene caused everyone else to shiver uncontrollably.
“Don’t push me,” Meng Qian roared, “I am the Saintess of the Heavenly Saint Sect. If I so wish, I can summon the Holy Master; then you will surely die.”
“Oh?” Jiang Hao said, getting somewhat excited, “Try it.”
“You’re forcing my hand,” Meng Qian growled through clenched teeth.
In an instant, the black aura on her body disappeared.
A golden light burst forth from between her eyebrows.
Her immense divine soul surged forth like an endless mountain.
It was the great force of the mountain and sea.
And Meng Qian’s divine soul was forcibly extracted, leaving her fragmented and broken.
But still, she was able to survive for a certain amount of time.
She glared at Jiang Hao in fury: “I may die, but you will too. I offer my body, wanting nothing in return, only for the Holy Master to strike you dead.
“I’ve prepared for so many years with great hardship, having entered and even controlled some strength; it’s all your fault.
“You deserve to die.”
Jiang Hao looked at her and chuckled,
“Is that so? You should thank me; after all, you are about to return to the embrace of the Holy Master.”
“Isn’t that what people of the Heavenly Saint Sect aim for?”
“Laugh now, for it’s your turn to cry. I will have you sliced into a thousand pieces,” Meng Qian roared.
At that moment, the light of the Holy Master descended, on the verge of claiming her.
