Chapter 216: A Moment of Anger
Others were stunned to the core when they saw the Core Formation realm cultivator stop, his body cut into half diagonally. The most shocking and fear-inducing part was that they didn't even see Jiang Hao's attack.
Thud!
The bisected part fell. Jiang Hao and Yao Ying didn't stop for a second before they walked out of the entrance. The inn was sealed with only words of deterrence.
When they came out, there were two cultivators standing as guards. Both were at Nascent Soul realm, with only a minor realm difference among them—one was at peak, the other at late stage.
"Hm? Look at that, looks like some people think we were joking, senior brother."
"It's better this way. I was getting bored anyway. Killing would be a good way to get some fun."
The one at peak stage looked at Jiang Hao and Yao Ying, sensing their cultivation. "Tsk, only Qi Refinement realm. What a disappointment… kill them. Stepping on bugs isn't fun for me."
"As you wish, senior brother."
After saying that, the cultivator was just about to move when he felt a tingling sensation—before he was split into half from head to toe.
Jiang Hao didn't have time to play their foolish games. If anyone came for them or even showed killing intent towards them, even by mistake, they would die.
When the sound of two falling split bodies was heard, the peak stage cultivator was satisfied. "Junior brother, you really have become merciless. It was quite fast indeed—"
His words were abruptly stopped as his head left his body. He didn't even know how he died.
Jiang Hao looked above towards the main house of the Luofeng family. His actions hadn't gone unnoticed… the spirit range of Void Reversion realm is 2,500 meters, and the main house of the Luofeng family was only 500 meters away from here.
There was an old man flying above it as deterrence, keeping watch over everything. No doubt, this was the ancestor of the Yan Clan who had recently entered Void Reversion realm.
As expected, the moment Jiang Hao killed the last disciple, the ancestor of the Yan family appeared above them. Jiang Hao didn't even wait to listen to what he had to say and slashed with his sword.
A brilliant arc of sharp qi left his sword. The eyes of the ancestor squinted. He immediately moved and dodged the attack. Sensing the strength of the qi in the attack, he knew it was enough to kill him.
Now his eyes were filled with dread. This person below definitely had strength to kill him, even though the real cultivation realm he gleaned from the attack was Early Stage of Nascent Soul realm.
Jiang Hao sighed. Although the strength of the attack was enough to kill a Void Reversion realm cultivator due to his own qi, it was too simple and slow due to his low level in sword way.
He put his sword down. It was pointless to use it when fighting someone in Void Reversion who could move fast enough to dodge it.
There was no need to fight fairly, nor did he have intentions to… he looked towards the ancestor and took one step. The ancestor's eyes were fixed on Jiang Hao, but suddenly Jiang Hao disappeared.
The ancestor got a bad feeling and wanted to flee, but it was already too late. A hand was already holding his nape, and the grip was so strong that he knew if he moved, his neck would be crushed. He felt spine-chilling cold as he heard Jiang Hao's voice.
"Just because you become stronger in the region, it doesn't mean that you are stronger in the whole world. You should learn not to involve others before knowing their real strength. It can bite you back like now… well, you wouldn't be there to see it anyway."
"Senio—" Before the ancestor could finish, his head was refined along with his soul, killing him on the spot.
Right now, although Jiang Hao didn't show it, he was feeling anger—a feeling he rarely or never feels. He wanted to eat today, as it had been a while. Eating with Senior Yao had a compelling effect on him.
He had begun to enjoy it, but it was ruined… If he were his previous self, he might have left after killing only those who had killing intent towards him. But now he didn't want to do that. Since the reason for his anger was the Yan Clan, they could not go away with his anger.
He looked towards the stunned cultivators who were fighting in the main house of the Luofeng Family. Both the cultivators of Yan Family and Luofeng Family had stopped their attacks.
Most of these cultivators were in Core Formation realm, some were in Soul Sea realm, while a few were in Nascent Soul realm. Well, it didn't matter. He could see who were from the Yan Clan, and that was all that mattered.
Multiple black orbs formed around him, and the number was exactly equal to the number of Yan Clan cultivators present here.
And before others could guess what those orbs would do—as they couldn't even sense them with their spirit sense—the orbs moved, and their speed wasn't something an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could react to.
In an instant, all the orbs hit the Yan cultivators. Some hit directly, some maintained some distance before exploding so that they attacked only the Yan Clan cultivators, and that was it… not even a single breath passed before the cultivators of Yan Clan disappeared, becoming pure spirit qi.
The cultivators of Luofeng Family felt a chill run down their backs. If this senior wanted, then they would be dead too. Those orbs terrified them more than the fact he could kill a Void Reversion realm cultivator like it was nothing.
The ancestor of the Luofeng Family immediately came to his senses and bowed towards Jiang Hao.
"Senior, this junior will be forever in your debt for saving my family… for this debt, senior, if you ever need anything from Luofeng Family, you can just ask. I take oath to Heaven to fulfil your request, as long as it is not the destruction of my family."
Jiang Hao shook his head internally. He knew that the ancestor of Luofeng Family was genuine with his oath, but he was also trying to appease him in case he decided to attack them too.
Well, his worries were not without reason. The weak are only prey to the strong anyway. Since the ancestor didn't know who he was and why he was here, the ancestor could only hope that he didn't attack them.
