Chapter 472
C472 – The Power of the Talisman Arts His Sudden Action
Just then, as Xia Lan was sent flying backward, she vanished into thin air!
Jiang Hao instantly lost sight of his target.
Scanning his surroundings, Jiang Hao’s lips quirked into a slight smirk, as if taunting his unseen adversary.
“What a futile effort. Did you really think you could hide?”
With those words, the Baiqi Killing Sword in Jiang Hao’s grasp disappeared, and a golden glow flickered from his right hand.
Using his finger as a brush, he swiftly traced a shimmering golden rune into the void.
As soon as the rune was complete, Jiang Hao flicked his wrist, sending it flying, accompanied by a low command.
“Reveal!”
In a flash, the rune glided through the void, leaving no trace. Then, as if homing in on its target, it darted towards the window to Jiang Hao’s left.
“Boom!”
A burst of golden light exploded from the rune.
On the opposite window, Xia Lan was forced back into visibility.
Her face contorted with shock, but before she could even react, the rune struck her.
In an instant, it ignited like a spark hitting gasoline, engulfing her in flames.
“Ah!”
Xia Lan screamed in agony, hitting the floor and rolling in a desperate attempt to douse the relentless flames, which clung to her like bone-deep maggots, refusing to be extinguished.
In mere moments, Xia Lan’s ghostly form had been severely depleted, and at last, the fire died down.
Now, her spectral body was nearly transparent.
Xia Lan’s eyes bore into Jiang Hao, thick with loathing, yet unable to mask her profound fear of him.
“Stop, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
Xia Lan yielded.
Yet Jiang Hao, gazing upon her nearly translucent form, showed no mercy.
His finger danced through the air, and in an instant, a new rune materialized before him, gleaming like a hook dragging a silver line.
“Go!”
With a flick of Jiang Hao’s hand, the rune transformed into a streak of light and positioned itself above Xia Lan’s head.
“Ah!”
Terrified, Xia Lan’s complexion drained of color, and she instinctively shielded her face with her hands.
At that moment, runes in the sky cascaded golden light, forming a cage that ensnared Xia Lan.
In a panic, Xia Lan struggled to escape, but as he stepped forward, the golden light before him crackled as if charged with electricity.
It surged toward her side!
“Sizzle, sizzle!”
The sound of meat searing filled the air.
“Ah!”
Xia Lan, gripped by terror, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Observing the trapped Xia Lan, Jiang Hao allowed himself a slight smile before approaching her side and asking, “Any last words?”
Xia Lan’s face was stricken with fear. “No, no, I can’t die. I haven’t had my revenge. I can’t die!”
Jiang Hao’s brow furrowed at her words. The ghost’s resentment was palpable, suggesting a tragic tale behind his death that merited reflection.
Yet, Jiang Hao was not one to pry into others’ affairs, nor did he have the inclination to seek justice on her behalf.
As Jiang Hao was poised to extinguish Xia Lan’s existence,
suddenly, he tensed, then caught the sound of a disturbance outside the window.
“Boss, are we… still going in?”
“Yes, we must uphold the duties that come with these clothes!”
……
With his Wind Catching Ear skill activated, Jiang Hao didn’t miss a word of the exchange.
Seemingly struck by a thought, Jiang Hao concealed his presence, looked at Xia Lan, and said, “I’ll give you a chance. Later, tell those four outside your story. Whether you get your revenge is up to fate now.”
“I’ll come looking for you in a few days.”
With that, Jiang Hao vanished, leaving no opportunity for Xia Lan to respond.
Overwhelmed with relief, Xia Lan knelt and fervently kowtowed in gratitude.
“Thank you, my lord, thank you!”
