Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 145: Surrounded

The higher the grade of a blood core, the more qi it can infuse into the blood. The strength of one’s bones and flesh depends on the type of body cultivation one practices. Usually, they are fixed according to whatever grade the cultivator was.

The only thing that changes at the cultivator’s whim is blood qi. They can use more or less depending on the situation to increase or decrease their strength.

Till now, Jiang Hao had used so much blood qi that it was about time he would have exhausted it, and it was evident from his decreasing strength and speed.

Now all they had to do was wait for him to use his spirit qi as well. Some more deaths were inevitable, but since they had come this far and half the work was done, they wouldn’t give up now.

He might already be in his twilight years. Maybe they didn’t even need to wait for his qi to exhaust.

When Ming Yue saw that Jiang Hao was acting on purpose, how could she stay out of it?

"Junior brother, you seem exhausted. I am coming to help you."

Jiang Hao was speechless inwardly. Even knowing that she was just doing this to increase the effect of what he was trying to portray, he couldn’t tell if she was genuine or not. Her acting was truly superb with that expressive voice.

He was about to reply but stopped himself and used qi to make his voice heavy, to sound more like an old man.

"You don’t have to worry, Senior Sister. I can still go on."

Ming Yue had also heard about their hypothesis of them getting older, so she wasn’t surprised.

She just nodded and watched.

Jiang Hao distanced himself from the group and came to the middle area where the array was and stopped there while taking heavy breaths.

The cultivators were getting happier seeing his state.

The Blazing Valley leader was still alive, so he mocked.

"So much for being geniuses. What a load of crap. You guys are nothing without that life sucking array. Go on, use your qi attacks. Let’s see how long you can last."

This statement invigorated others too. They increased their attacks, which Jiang dodged but with difficulty. Some even hit him, which forced him to move even more.

Ya Ting and the others were surprised, but they didn’t know what they were seeing. They knew it was a lie that Jiang Hao was getting older. After all, this was a lie they made up, and because of this, they couldn’t even reveal it.

It was like Jiang Hao was blatantly mocking them, saying, Look, I made your lie the truth.

They didn’t know if he was exhausted or not, it might be a lie too. So they still didn’t make a move.

But chances were high that he really was exhausted. He had been using blood qi for so long now.

Just as they were thinking, a fireball struck Jiang Hao. He got hit for the first time, flew some distance, and fell into the middle of the array.

He stood up immediately, but seeing the defensive qi on his body, others sighed inwardly. Finally, he was using his qi. It was now only a matter of time.

Just as they thought, Jiang Hao created two black spheres and threw them. The speed was still very fast, so no one was able to dodge where they landed, and only utter silent annihilation was left at the point of impact from these two black spheres.

Before they could react, another two spheres were thrown by Jiang Hao, which also reached their destination and created two nihility zones.

Others moved a little further from each other to decrease casualties. They all also became a little tense, as these black spheres were too fast.

Jiang Hao attacked three more times, and finally after that, he stopped making them and stood there looking toward the group of cultivators who had stopped attacking him once he started using the nihility spheres.

Some of those who were seeing the attack for the first time were stunned, and others who had only heard about it were shocked to witness it. Only those who had seen it before were calm, but even they were on edge, chanting inwardly that Jiang Hao didn’t target them.

About four hundred cultivators were dead by now. Even though it seemed a small number in comparison to the number of cultivators gathered here, in reality, it wasn’t. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

No matter how much others tried to keep themselves calm, they had all just seen a massacre. So many dead bodies were scattered around randomly in the group, and it was decreasing their confidence, even if Jiang Hao was on his last leg.

There was still Ming Yue alive. Would the same number die again? Would they be among those casualties? These thoughts were dominating their minds right now.

When they were all thinking, they heard Ming Yue’s voice again.

"It’s alright, Junior Brother. You have already done enough. You can easily break through to the next stage and increase your life expectancy. Come back now, I will handle them."

When everyone heard this, they became thoroughly stunned. They had forgotten this point. No wonder Jiang Hao didn’t care about using his life to attack them.

The point of him getting older would also become null if he broke through. Core Formation cultivators can live up to five hundred years, while Soul Sea Realm cultivators can live up to a thousand years.

Once Jiang Hao broke through, he would be young again, and that would make him the true winner of this whole massacre.

Ya Ting and the others became agitated too, for different reasons though. They all knew that he wasn’t old, but what if he really was in a worse state right now due to exhaustion?

If they let him leave now, and if their sects found out that they let him escape in this state when they could have easily won, then death would be their only punishment.

If Jiang Hao reached the Soul Sea Realm, then they wouldn’t be able to attack him unless they all broke through too, which wasn’t possible right now.

They didn’t know why Jiang Hao even came out to face them. Maybe he was being overly confident that he would be able to fight and return easily with the help of Ming Yue.

Thinking about this, they really couldn’t let him leave.

Finally, they all looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. They knew Ming Yue wasn’t as fast as Jiang Hao, but she had soul attacks. However, with enough cultivators as a shield, they would have enough time to dodge it.

Ya Ting, Zhe Han, and Yan Chen gestured to their sect mates and moved immediately.

They all finally came into the clearing. Ya Ting immediately spoke.

"You guys, no matter what, we can’t let this traitor escape. He is already on his last leg. Do everything in your power to finish him off. Surround him and don’t let him return."

Others nodded and moved immediately.

Since, this time cultivators of these three Sects were involved, they have far more spirit beast, even more than the spirit beast which were present before, about 350 spirit beast.

When Jing Tian saw this, he gritted his teeth. He really couldn’t understand if Jiang Hao was really acting or not. He really wanted to go and help, but he was afraid of messing it up too. After thinking for a while, he sighed while thinking, Forget it. If Jiang Hao really wants his help, he will ask for it.

When Ming Yue saw cultivators of her previous sect along with two other sects come out, she smiled. Due to the mask, nobody could see that.

She immediately moved to protect Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao himself began to move back towards the safe pathway, but his speed was slower. He met Ming Yue just halfway through before they were surrounded by the other cultivators.

Ming Yue didn’t attack. She looked totally focused on protecting Jiang Hao.

In just two breaths, they were surrounded by cultivators from every side. Due to Ming Yue’s presence, none of them attacked and maintained some distance from them.

After some time, three cultivators made their way towards them. They were none other than Ya Ting, Zhe Han, and Yan Chen.

Ming Yue didn’t even look at them. She just observed that every single one of them was inside the array. Now there was no need to act, but she wanted to continue doing it for the time being.

She pinched Jiang Hao, who was about to activate the array, to stop him.

When Jiang Hao felt her pinch, he knew what she wanted to do. He shook his head internally and stopped. Well, it didn’t matter now. Even if he did not activate the array immediately, none could escape in his presence now.

The only problem was using the Minor Teleportation Arrays. Since this was only a trap array, spirit qi could still be used inside.

Although Jiang Hao couldn’t stop them from using it, if many of them used it simultaneously, Ming Yue could stop most of them. Her attacks were wide-ranged. She could create icicles wherever she wanted and as many as she wanted, as long as she had qi.

That would be enough to stop most of them for some time.

Ya Ting, Zhe Han, and Yan Chen didn’t come too close. They had used some soul protection talismans on themselves just in case they weren’t able to dodge her attack.

Ya Ting smiled and spoke.

"What happened? Didn’t expect this scenario?"

She was a little confident right now. Since they were already surrounded and hadn’t used any kind of trap, it was evident that they hadn’t drawn any array beforehand.

"Ohh, Ming Yue, do you know who I am?"

Ming Yue looked at Ya Ting and said,

"Am I supposed to know you?"
