Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 146: Despair

"Well, it didn’t matter if you don’t know me, but do you know why I was so eager to complete this mission by killing you? It was because you killed my sister."

"Your sister, huh... she must have been as noisy as you to be killed by me. After all, only noisy and unimportant cultivators were trying to rile me up when I was in that messed-up sect."

"Noisy, is it? Oh well, I think she must have changed by now. How about you go to her and check for me? Don’t worry, I know how to send you there."

"I doubt that. It must be a blood problem. Seeing how you are still so noisy, I doubt anything would have changed. So how about you go there and teach her if there’s any way to change yourselves? And since you already know the way, there’s no need for me to tell you, right?"

Ya Ting didn’t respond back. She didn’t want to give Jiang Hao enough time to gather spirit qi to launch another attack.

"Everyone, listen! Attack them and don’t give them a chance to take a breather!"

When Ming Yue heard that, she shook her head. Looks like she couldn’t extend it any longer.

"Oh well, time to wrap it up, I guess."

Others didn’t understand her meaning, but Ya Ting had a foreboding feeling, and before she could react, an array covered everyone.

They all became stunned and looked around before checking if their spirit qi was restricted or not, but to their relief, they could still use their qi.

But before they could feel at ease, everyone’s eyes eventually fell on Jiang Hao, who was standing without Ming Yue’s help. It was as if he wasn’t hurt at all.

They became even more stunned when they saw that his blood qi was rising, and its level was soaring beyond their comprehension. Before, they felt it was about the same as an Early Stage Grade 4 beast, but now they couldn’t even detect its limits clearly.

A chill ran down their backs at this realisation. They all figured out that all this time, Jiang Hao was just acting, he never used his true strength.

Forget about them, even Ya Ting, Zhe Yan, and Yan Chen were looking at Jiang Hao with despair in their eyes. Seeing his blood qi was enough to make one thing clear, he wasn’t even the slightest bit exhausted after killing four hundred cultivators.

What kind of concept was that? Was his qi not even depleted? If that was the case, then how was he able to use all those attacks till now?

There was only one thought in their minds right now, to run away. But would Jiang Hao, who was so close to them and at his full strength, let them go? They doubted it.

As expected, Jiang Hao’s eyes were fixed on them. Right now, the only ones he wanted to kill first were cultivators who had a chance of escaping. That included the cultivators of these three sects and possibly the geniuses of Blazing Valley, who might have the means to do so.

Once he decided, he moved immediately. He didn’t target Ya Ting, Zhe Yan, and Yan Chen first but kept an eye on them, although he didn’t really need to, as Ming Yue was too close and would easily not let them escape.

As he moved, he threw many nihility spheres. His speed was just too fast to even be seen by anyone. They could only see cultivators getting broken into pieces, not Jiang Hao, who was doing it. Every single nihility sphere was aimed at cultivators of these three sects.

Most of them had tried to escape the range of the array but had found that it was a trap array. Even with combined attacks, they weren’t able to even crack it, much less break it.

Ming Yue flew up within the array and kept watch over everything. Whenever someone tried to use a talisman, an icicle hit their hands, making them unable to use those hands again.

There was only a one-sided massacre after this. An array of 1,000 meters diameter was big enough to hold 2,500 cultivators, but since most of them had tried to run for the edges, everyone was sticking to the barrier like their lives depended on it.

It was true. They couldn’t do anything. Attacking Jiang Hao was an impossible thought, they had to even locate him first.

They finally understood what had transpired here. Their greed had cost them their lives.

Using an array which took away life force to increase their strength? What utter nonsense. They had fallen for the most obvious trick in the cultivation world.

They were all used as mere meat shields for those bastards who were staying behind them during the first half, when they were getting killed.

Nonetheless, there was one thing soothing to see, right now Jiang Hao was mostly targeting the cultivators from these three sects. So seeing them dying like ants was satisfying, but with an unsaid bitterness, because sooner or later it would be their turn.

Jiang Hao continued his massacre with stillness in his expression. Many cultivators were sitting on the ground and begging him to spare their lives. Some were crying and saying that it wasn’t their fault, they were tricked into this.

The leader of Blazing Valley was the same. He was on his knees, begging to be forgiven and taken as a slave.

Jiang Hao didn’t feel any kind of sympathy. He killed whoever was in his way. Internally, he was quite amused at their shamelessness.

There were no words to describe it. These people were quite excited when he was about to reach his limit. No doubt, none of them would have spared him if the situation was reversed. But now, they were begging for mercy.

He sighed inwardly and continued killing. There were a few who were able to escape even with Ming Yue’s watch, they were just too many too keep eye on. It wasn’t easy to see through everyone in the crowd, so some managed to flee. But it didn’t matter. Most of them would die here.

It didn’t take him long to kill every single cultivator from the three sects. It was as easy as placing a hand on someone.

spirit beasts of all these cultivators died themselves.

The leader of Blazing Valley was dead. He wasn’t targeted specifically, but he came into range of a nihility sphere.

But Jiang Hao was far from done. There were still around 2,000 cultivators left. Now that they couldn’t escape, they were all but dead in his eyes. He moved again and started to turn this 1,000-meter array into a graveyard.

Ming Yue watched for some time and then looked at the three cultivators who were rooted to the ground like their souls had left their bodies.

She came down and spoke.

"How does it feel? Being hunted, I mean?"

She didn’t get any response from them for a few seconds before Yan Chen came to his senses and looked at her. freewёbnoνel.com

"You will die. Some of us were able to escape. Your abilities will soon be known by our sects. They will definitely come with suitable means to kill you two. Don’t forget, you’re still in the Core Formation Realm.

Even if the devil sisters reached the Heavenly King Realm, it won’t change anything.

Once our sects understand the real danger you two pose, they will definitely hunt you down, even if you’re inside the forbidden zone. It might cost them, but it will be better than being destroyed completely.

So, don’t celebrate too early. Our death isn’t meaningless. We’ve achieved something from this mission. We’ll go to hell first, I’ll make sure to wait for you there."

Ming Yue nodded calmly.

"I see. Don’t worry, even if it isn’t me who comes to greet you again, I will definitely send your whole sect to meet you."

After saying that, Ming Yue wanted to speak with Ya Ting a little more too, but seeing her despair-stricken expression, she shook her head. There was no reason to keep them alive. She didn’t want to get any knowledge from them anyway.

She just wanted them to feel despair a little longer. It’s not the quickest death that is painful, but the despair of waiting for your death that is. These people must feel that themselves.

Right now, they were feeling that. But it was enough, in her thoughts.

"I hope you don’t have another sibling who is as noisy as you and your sister. I would definitely find it boring to interact with another one of your kind. Now, goodbye. Go and keep your sister company."

Blue flames lit her hand and she swayed it in their direction. There was no suspense, even with their soul protection barriers, it wasn’t enough to save them from her soul flame.

When her flames died out, their souls had burnt to nothingness.

They fell one by one, becoming part of the many dead bodies. The only difference was that their bodies were intact, unlike the others who were so broken they couldn’t even be recognised.

After some time, Jiang Hao stopped. There were only dead bodies left inside the array, with only he and Ming Yue still alive.

Even after killing so many, there was not an ounce of blood on his body. He looked around and sighed, it would be quite troublesome to collect all those storage bags. Every single one of them was covered in blood. He doubted that Senior Sister Ming Yue would even help him.

He might not care for the other storage bags, but the storage bags of the disciples from these three sects were definitely worth it.
