Chapter 766: Chapter 766: I Can Tell At a Glance You’re Not Human

Shang Shiqiu had sternly warned Liang Feiyan.

In the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, don’t mess around romantically.

Because every female disciple he deemed beautiful, except for Ye Banxia, was already taken.

But this girl claimed to walk alone!

Suspicious!

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t raise his voice.

Instead, he silently focused on recovering his Spiritual Power and stamina.

“Junior Brother, have you gained anything here?”

Hua Xin glided forward gracefully and stopped by the shattered remains of a guard.

She poked the armor pieces with her finger.

With a puff, the armor was punctured with ease.

She couldn’t help but frown.

Jiang Fan sighed and said, “You’ve seen it yourself.”

“Even the armor has been eroded by time to such an extent. What else could have survived?”

Unwilling to give up, Hua Xin searched around the tent.

No exceptions.

Everything had rotted beyond recognition, crumbling at the slightest touch.

Not a single item could be taken.

“What a wasted effort.”

“I thought I’d found treasure.”

Hua Xin sighed softly.

Then, she turned her gaze to Jiang Fan, curiosity brimming in her tone: “Did you fight with someone?”

“Why do you look so drained?”

Jiang Fan’s heart tightened slightly.

But outwardly, he acted as if nothing was amiss and said, “Just a minor injury, nothing serious.”

At this moment, he had already recovered enough Spiritual Power.

Sufficient to activate the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain.

The Void Flow Thunder Force remained intact as well.

Suppressing this woman wouldn’t be an issue.

Hua Xin hesitated briefly before taking out a jade bottle from her bosom and said:

“I know you’re feeling weak and are wary of others.”

“Here’s a Healing Spirit Pill. I won’t push you to consume it.”

“I’ll leave it on the ground. You decide whether to use it or not.”

She placed the pill bottle on the ground, not far from Jiang Fan.

“Thank you for your thoughtful gesture, Senior Sister.”

“But I must ask you to take it back.”

He shifted slightly, moving further away from the pill bottle.

This woman had lied from the start.

From then on, Jiang Fan didn’t believe a single word she said.

No matter how kind or gentle she appeared.

In Jiang Fan’s eyes, everything was stained with suspicion.

Hua Xin let out a bitter smile: “I understand.”

“If you need any help…”

Jiang Fan interrupted her without hesitation.

“Senior Sister, if you truly wish to help, please leave this place.”

“That would put me more at ease.”

Hearing Jiang Fan’s blunt remarks, Hua Xin sighed lightly: “Alright then.”

“Since Junior Brother insists, I’ll not linger unnecessarily.”

“Take care.”

With that, she walked toward the exit without looking back, carrying an air of grievance.

Her slender figure seemed forlorn at that moment.

Cherishably pitiful, evoking sympathy.

Even Jiang Fan couldn’t help but feel a sliver of guilt.

Was he being too ruthless?

But he maintained his initial suspicion and did not stop her.

At the exit, Hua Xin activated a spatial rift and was about to walk through.

Suddenly.

She seemed to be struck by something from the outside.

With a painful groan, her body was sent flying back like a fallen leaf.

Blood spurted from her chest, rapidly staining her robes crimson.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly: “What happened?”

Hua Xin struggled to lift her head and gazed at the re-sealed spatial exit.

Her face curled into a bitter smile: “I provoked some people and they chased me to the space outside.”

“My apologies for dragging you into this.”

“But don’t worry.”

“They shouldn’t know how to open this place yet. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be ambushing from outside.”

Jiang Fan’s expression darkened.

“How can I not worry?”

“So what, I must hide here as long as they don’t leave?”

Hua Xin bit her red lips lightly, deep remorse flashing across her face.

“I’m truly sorry.”

“Once my injuries heal, I’ll go out alone so as not to implicate you further.”

With that, she retrieved the Healing Pills, poured one out, and swallowed it.

Then she sat cross-legged and began nurturing her wounds.

“You really won’t take it, Junior Brother?”

She pointed at the jade bottle again.

Having consumed the remedy herself, she had proven the pill was safe.

Jiang Fan responded decisively: “No.”

Hadn’t Yan Dao’an once consumed the Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow right after Jiang Fan?

And what was the result?

Hua Xin shook her head and said: “You’re overly cautious, Junior Brother.”

“Fine, do it your way…”

Suddenly—

She grimaced in agony and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Her body began convulsing uncontrollably before collapsing entirely.

The blood from her wounds showed no signs of stopping; it gushed out even faster.

“Despicable!”

“Using such a vile attack!”

She tried to retrieve another pill from the bottle.

But her trembling hands failed her, dropping the jade bottle which rolled near Jiang Fan.

“Junior Brother… help me… pick up a Healing Spirit Pill…”

Hua Xin gasped heavily, weakly imploring Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan furrowed his brow.

After a moment of contemplation, he took out a Revitalizing Pill and tossed it toward her.

“Take mine.”

The Revitalizing Pill landed precisely by her hand.

Hua Xin grabbed it with difficulty and shoved it toward her mouth.

But her mysterious injuries were too severe.

Before she could consume it, she spat another mouthful of blood, sending the pill flying away.

Her hand reached out weakly for the fallen Revitalizing Pill, but eventually fell limp.

Her eyes lost focus rapidly.

Faint traces of pain lingered.

Her breathing thinned with each passing moment, until she was no more.

Seeing she was about to die!

Jiang Fan remained still in his spot.

Letting Hua Xin perish in pain and despair without moving a muscle.

Even so—

Jiang Fan remained vigilant.

He kept his gaze fixed on her lifeless body while continuing to restore his Spiritual Power.

Time inched forward.

A cup of tea’s time.

Thirty minutes.

An hour.

With his Spiritual Power and stamina nearly recovered, Jiang Fan felt somewhat relieved.

But he didn’t drop his guard completely.

This woman was clearly suspicious.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt unease.

A sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.

He manipulated his Flying Sword, sending it straight at her heart.

With a squelch—

Blood sprayed everywhere.

Hua Xin’s corpse lay motionless.

Still, he wasn’t reassured.

He directed his Flying Sword to slice her garments to shreds.

Making sure there was nothing dangerous hidden within.

Once certain there were no abnormalities, he summoned a blazing flame in his palm.

He flicked it onto her corpse, intending to burn it to ashes.

But who knew!

At that moment!

Hua Xin’s corpse suddenly sat up.

She was alive!

With a single hand motion, she extinguished the flames heading towards her.

Rubbing her temples, she muttered to herself:

“Where did I go wrong?”

“Was my performance lacking?”

“Or were you simply too crafty? Why won’t you take the bait?”

With a chilling tone, she slowly lifted her head.

Her strikingly beautiful eyes, previously bright black and white, had transformed into pitch darkness.

They were like pools of ink, devoid of pupils.

Completely black!

Clearly not human!

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and responded coldly:

“Because.”

“I figured out from the start that you aren’t human!”
