Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 201 Approaching

At first, the demon soldiers were wary of their leader's orders and dared not lay a heavy hand on her. However, seeing her desperate and relentless attitude, they no longer cared about orders and focused on saving their own lives.

The two sides fought fiercely and were evenly matched.

"Get closer to him," Luan Hao urged coldly, his words carrying an undeniable urgency.

Geng Miaowan killed a demon soldier with a single sword strike, then looked up at Haotian, who was fighting Yin Qianze not far away. He seemed to be desperately dodging Yin Qianze's attacks, but upon closer inspection, it was not hard to see that every dodge he made was perfectly timed, as if he had made precise calculations.

Geng Miaowan didn't know what Luan Hao wanted her to do by getting closer, but she did as he said. She drew her sword, killing demon soldiers as she approached them. Finally, she stopped very close and dared not go any closer.

Haotian and Yin Qianze's cultivation levels were many times higher than hers. If she rashly entered their attack range, she would easily be caught in the aftershocks. However, Luan Hao was clearly not satisfied with this long-range situation. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll borrow your body for a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give her a chance to refuse. He let his spiritual power merge into her body, and the next moment, her hand attacked Haotian uncontrollably.

Geng Miaowan was dumbfounded and speechless. She didn't even dare to meet Haotian's bloodshot eyelids. She closed her eyes, unable to imagine the consequences of rushing in like this.

However, her fears didn't come true. The sudden appearance of Geng Miaowan surprised Haotian. He couldn't gauge her strength, but he had noticed as she fought her way up that her cultivation level wasn't high. At most, she was at the Enlightenment stage, perhaps even only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

So when he saw her attacking, he casually dodged to the side and intended to continue attacking Yin Qianze. However, a sharp pain forced him to stop.

Haotian stared at Geng Miaowan in disbelief, the sword in her hand embedded directly in his arm. Had he misjudged the situation?

Far from being angry after being struck, Haotian's smile deepened. How could this strength be so far beyond her cultivation? Perhaps she was more interesting than he imagined. His crimson pupils, like two burning flames, stared intently at Geng Miaowan with a probing gaze.

Geng Miaowan felt a burning heat where his gaze was directed, and she withdrew her sword. In a flash, she launched an attack at him. Of course, all of this was still done by Luan Hao.

This time, Luan Hao dared not be careless again. He even abandoned his attempt to appease Yin Qianze and knocked him back more than ten meters away with one move, focusing on dealing with Geng Miaowan.

Yin Qianze, who had been knocked away, picked up her sword and charged forward again.

The three of them then faced off in a two-on-one format. Yin Qianze glanced at Geng Miaowan and thought about his usual attitude towards her. She had actually helped him despite past grievances, and he admired her magnanimity.

After several rounds, Geng Miaowan became increasingly alarmed. Even now, with two against one against Haotian, he hadn't fallen behind. However, compared to his relaxed attitude earlier, he now seemed quite serious.

Luan Hao seemed to be thinking about something. Each time he attacked, he didn't aim for Luan Hao's vital points, but instead hovered around him, as if he was testing something or looking for an opportunity.

However, he was, after all, merely a spiritual entity residing in Geng Miaowan's body, and one that had not fully recovered its cultivation. Although his dedicated cultivation over this period had restored much of his power, using his spiritual entity to control another person's body was still a very strenuous task.

Before long, Geng Miaowan felt that he was losing his strength. Because Luan Hao in her mind's eye became flickering.

"Luan Hao, stop!" she shouted in her mind, warning him to cease his attack if things continued this way, fearing his cultivation would be destroyed. But Luan Hao ignored her. After dodging Haotian's attack, he gathered his strength and charged forward again.

Just then, Luan Hao's body suddenly went dark, and Geng Miaowan's movements abruptly paused. Although she recovered immediately, that brief moment, less than a second, allowed Haotian to seize the opportunity. His body swayed slightly, and his movements vanished from her sight. Before she could react, a pale, bloodless hand gripped her shoulder.

Geng Miaowan was startled and instinctively tried to break free, but the hand, though pale and thin, seemed to have the strength of a thousand pounds, making it impossible for her to break free, yet it did not cause her any harm at all.

Not far away, Qiu Pi finally defeated the demon leader who had been entangled with him for half a day. He looked up to look for Geng Miaowan's figure, but just then he saw her being grabbed by Haotian. He stopped his attack and rushed over here.

A fleeting hint of anxiety, which he himself was unaware of, flashed across his handsome face with unprecedented speed.

Although Yin Qianze disliked Geng Miaowan, she had unintentionally helped Haotian out of trouble several times during their fight. Now that she saw Geng Miaowan in Haotian's hands, she quickly changed her moves and attacked him as well.

Haotian held Geng Miaowan with one hand, pulling her closer to him, while using the other hand to fight Qiu Pi and Yin Qianze. He was struggling, but he had no intention of letting go of her.

Geng Miaowan didn't care about any of that at the moment, because she discovered that Luan Hao was about to use his remaining spiritual power to forcefully break free from the restraints. At this moment, his already slightly transparent figure became almost one with the pure white background.

She cried out in alarm, "Luan Hao, do you really want to die?"

This is no exaggeration. If he exhausts all his mental energy, then even if he has energy beads, it will be of no use.

Luan Hao paused in his actions upon hearing her words, a look on his face that Geng Miaowan had never seen before. Geng Miaowan's heart softened. "What exactly do you want?"

"I just want to know who he is?"

"You know him?" Considering he was also a demon, could it be that she had really run into someone she knew?

Luan Hao shook his head, a hint of confusion flashing across his handsome face, as if a layer of mist had gathered, blurring his expression. "It just feels very familiar."

Familiar... (To be continued.)
