Chapter 717: I’m In A Hurry, So I Won’t Keep You Long

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Jiang Hao took out the Heavenly Blade, he was already thinking about how to kill his opponent.

Yin Wei was different from all the others he had fought. His perception was extraordinarily strong.

It was so strong that even the Heavenly Cauldron couldn’t hold him. A person like him had to be treated with caution.

Therefore, he chose to attack when Yin Wei was in shock. However, even that approach had failed. It was nearly impossible to strike a fatal blow.

So, he decided to target Yin Wei’s body, injure him, and severely weaken him before delivering the final blow.

He also needed to be prepared for his opponent’s self-destruction ability. However, Yin Wei’s self-destruction ability was unique and couldn’t be stopped easily. But there was something familiar about it. It was related to Heaven Lock.

After realizing that, he understood that this self-destruction ability was unique to the Saint Bandits

For anyone else, this might not be a problem, but Yin Wei’s self-destruction was exceptionally powerful and made him uneasy.

In the same realm, he had never encountered such a formidable individual before.

Luckily, he had learned the Heaven Lock Technique, which allowed him to stop the explosion in time.

Otherwise, he might have drawn unwanted attention from others.

“How… did you learn Heaven Lock?” Yin Wei couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at the man before him.

From the beginning, this person had been unusually calm.

Yin Wei was startled. It seemed that nothing could faze Jiang Hao.

“I saw it, and then I learned it,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“Saw it? Heaven Lock? Did you find it somewhere? Did you learn it just by seeing it once?” Yin Wei was in disbelief.

Jiang Hao nodded slowly but didn’t answer.

In an instant, Yin Wei felt despair.

What had he been thinking? He had been trying to kill someone who knew Heaven Lock!

The entire world was filled with pract.i.tioners of the Blood Wish Path, but when it came to Heaven Lock, there was only one.

No matter how talented or knowledgeable a person was, if they couldn’t learn Heaven Lock, then they couldn’t use it at all. There was no other way.

“Do you know why I wanted to learn the Blood Wish Path?” Yin Wei asked.

“Why?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Because of the Blood Pool. Do you know about the Blood Pool?” Yin Wei asked.

“The Blood Pool under the Devil’s Den?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It seems you do. Yes, that’s the Blood Pool. It nurtures the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. Back in the day, countless powerhouses bled, and various races fought. The Blood Pool was used for it all. Nowadays, it’s a gathering place for all races. If you can control the Blood Pool, you essentially gain the right to influence the talents of all races. But you need to be careful of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. If it’s taken, the person who holds it will gain control over the Blood Pool,” Yin Wei said. His voice got weaker. Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment and realized that time was running out.

He appraised Yin Wei.

Yin Wei knew too much at this point. Jiang Hao needed to see if the opponent had any hidden cards. If so, he had to figure out how to deal with any potential threats.

If there were none, he could ensure that the opponent understood why he was going to die.

[Yin Wei: A member of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. He is also a Saint Bandit. He woke up from the deep sea. In the underground city, his cultivation realm was suppressed to the late stage of the Return to Void Realm. Right now, he is grateful that he’ll die by your hands and not the other way around. Someone who knows the Heaven Lock Technique is a glimmer of hope for the Saint Bandits. No one among the Saint Bandits would willingly become your enemy. He shared the information about the Blood Pool and the Blood Wish Path because he wanted to plant a seed in your heart: a seed that could revolutionize the world of cultivation. You don’t have to act on it, but you should be aware that you have the potential. Perhaps one day, you will take action. He is prepared to die here. Even though his plan has failed, he gained more knowledge and insight from this encounter.]

Jiang Hao was surprised by the high status of the Heaven Lock Technique among the Saint Bandits. Nonetheless, it was understandable considering its extraordinary nature.

He was also fortunate that Yin Wei had no avatars or hidden cards. This way, everything would end here, and no one would know any better. That was the most important thing.

Jiang Hao was also concerned about the Blood Pool. It was the place where the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl originated.

It was no wonder he could enter the pool without any difficulties. He had the heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. That was why he had been able to control that place so effortlessly.

“If your people use the Blood Pool, will it affect the person who has the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There’s no need for us to do anything to them. People who possess the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, even if it is sealed, will be influenced by the pearl. They’ll eventually perish,” Yin Wei said weakly.

Jiang Hao sighed and then took out the pearl. “Can you just answer me?”

Upon seeing the pearl, Yin Wei first looked stunned and terrified. It didn’t seem surprising to him, but he was still horrified to see the pearl so close.

What kind of monster was he after?

“Will the Blood Pool affect it?” Jiang Hao asked once more.

“No, because the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl is the core of everything. The Blood Pool is controlled by the pearl,” Yin Wei said as he looked at Jiang Hao with fear.

With the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl in his possession, there was no need for the Blood Wish path.

This man… He was a natural Saint Bandit.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Jiang Hao asked.

If the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl really wasn’t affected by the Blood Pool, everything was fine. Otherwise, it could have been troublesome.

He felt like he had no control over his life and death.

After all, if the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl made too much commotion, he wouldn’t be able to suppress it, which would lead to dire consequences. So, avoiding contact with the Saint Bandits was of utmost importance.

He needed to quickly resolve the matters here and then hide.

Once Senior Sister Leng’s task was completed, there was a chance that he could leave from here.

With the a.s.surance of the top disciple regarding his contribution, the Law Enforcement Hall won’t be able to hold him here for long.

“The person who’s fighting the top disciple is also one of our people. Right now, he might be considering self-destruction. I hope you can go and see him.” Yin Wei lowered his head to look at the bloodstains on his body. “I’m not asking you to save him, but I hope you can stop him from self-destructing. It won’t benefit you if Leng Wushuang dies. If she dies, the sect will use the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror to find out what happened.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head. If he hadn’t taken action, he wouldn’t have to care about the divine mirror. However, now that he had fought, the mirror would give him away.

“It seems I don’t have much time left,” Jiang Hao said while looking at Yin Wei.

“Yes. You don’t have much time left.” Yin Wei nodded.

Then, his sword rose and fell.

“I’m in a hurry, so I won’t keep you long.”

The Heavenly Cauldron dissipated. A fan fell into Jiang Hao’s hand, and he vanished from the spot.

On the other side, Leng Wushuang was covered in blood. Some of that blood was hers but most of it was of someone else’s.

“You lost,” she said icily as she stared at the man in front of her without emotion.

“I really didn’t expect you to be this strong,” said Nangong Huo. He was covered in injuries. “How did you even sense me?”

“My junior sister is unique. It wasn’t me who found you. It was her,” said Leng Wushuang calmly. “I merely noticed her unusual situation and, in pa.s.sing, helped her resolve her troubles..”
