Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

"Care to have a taste, sir?" a woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was so incredibly sultry it sent a shiver down Lin Hao’s spine.

Lin Hao turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful woman leaning against the doorway of a room not far to his right.

The most eye-catching thing about her was her pair of vibrant, cherry-red lips.

With every movement, her lips seemed to exude a bewitching Magic Power.

Lin Hao’s vigilance instantly shot to its absolute peak.

The spot had been empty just a moment ago. For this woman to appear so silently, it was clear she was another spiritual imprint of an ancestor from the Ancient Road.

Lin Hao already knew that his trial on the Ancient Road was to face its ancestors. Though this woman was beautiful and wore a constant smile, women like her were often the most dangerous.

"Oh, what a handsome young man," the beautiful woman said as Lin Hao turned his head. Her lovely eyes lit up, and she spoke in a lazy, sultry voice.

Lin Hao didn’t answer, his guard rising even higher.

"Hehehe, little one, I’m not going to eat you. And since you’re so handsome, you can have a taste of me, on the house." The beautiful woman’s eyes were practically dripping with allure as she stared at Lin Hao.

Lin Hao shook his head.

The woman hadn’t moved an inch the entire time, and there was no actual tofu in front of her. It was obvious she was playing some kind of trick.

Even though she was just a wisp of a spiritual imprint from an Ancient Road ancestor, after witnessing the terror of the old man from before, Lin Hao didn’t dare to let his guard down in the slightest.

"You silly boy. I’ve never offered myself to anyone for free before. Come on, now." The beautiful woman didn’t seem annoyed. She extended a hand and beckoned to Lin Hao gently.

Only then did Lin Hao notice how flawlessly beautiful the woman’s hand was. At the same time, the fiery red of her fingernails captivated his gaze.

Lin Hao’s gaze remained fixed on her hand, his expression turning vacant. He subconsciously began to walk toward her.

The beautiful woman slowly moved away from the doorway, her eyes fixed on Lin Hao as she chuckled softly.

Her smile at that moment was utterly seductive.

At almost the same instant, Lin Hao’s steps faltered for a nearly imperceptible moment.

Then, he resumed his gait and continued walking toward the woman.

They were less than a hundred meters apart, and it didn’t take long for Lin Hao to arrive in front of her.

"Come, take my hand," the woman said just then, her eyes like limpid pools, her gaze filled with amorous desire.

Lin Hao reached out his hand.

In the instant their hands were about to touch, Lin Hao’s hand dipped and suddenly accelerated, launching a fist toward the woman’s abdomen.

The strike was fast and vicious; by all rights, it should have landed. But unexpectedly, just as Lin Hao’s fist was about to brush against her clothes, the woman vanished.

Her speed was simply extreme.

"How could you be so cruel? Were you trying to kill me?" the woman’s hurt-sounding voice came from behind Lin Hao.

Lin Hao whirled around, his expression extremely grave.

The woman’s speed was unbelievable. ’If she hadn’t made a sound, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have even detected her,’ he thought.

’If she had chosen to attack just now instead of speaking...’

Lin Hao didn’t dare to entertain the thought any further.

"Little brother, I’m not like that scruffy old man. You’re far too handsome for me to hurt you," the woman said, as if she had read Lin Hao’s mind.

’Dammit!’ Lin Hao cursed himself internally.

He had just been thinking about how dull the spiritual imprints of the Ancient Road’s ancestors were, but this woman was clearly as cunning as they come.

Her words, far from putting Lin Hao at ease, only made every nerve in his body tense up.

This woman was definitely more terrifying than the old man.

For one thing, the woman had just stealthily used a Charm Art. If his Divine Soul hadn’t remained clear and provided timely feedback, he was afraid he would have already been ensnared.

Thinking back on the woman’s actions, Lin Hao grew even more wary of her.

Without giving the woman another chance to speak, Lin Hao moved again.

This time, he didn’t use a Body Technique, but instead manifested a great hand of True Essence.

His Body Technique was fast, but it held no advantage against this woman, so Lin Hao decisively abandoned it.

Possessing Chaos True Essence, Lin Hao could manifest the hand of True Essence far faster than others.

With a mere thought, the hand of True Essence he had manifested slapped toward the beautiful woman.

Naturally, the strike was ineffective.

The woman’s body vanished without a trace.

Lin Hao had already expected this. The hand of True Essence struck again, blasting toward the space behind him.

"Little brother, don’t waste your energy. Your attacks are useless against me. It’s truly heartbreaking. I just wanted to invite you to have some fun, and yet you’re trying to kill me." The woman’s voice echoed from all directions.

At the same time, countless afterimages of the woman appeared all around Lin Hao.

She was so fast that the afterimages didn’t have time to fade.

Unmoved, Lin Hao sat down on the spot, cross-legged.

Not only that, but he also closed his eyes, using his spiritual sense to perceive the woman’s true location.

This was extremely dangerous.

If the woman chose to attack while his eyes were closed, Lin Hao feared he would be unable to escape.

However, the woman’s movements made Lin Hao consider a possibility: her close-range offensive power was weak. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be hesitating to attack.

Therefore, Lin Hao decided to take the risk.

Although it was a risk, Lin Hao was prepared. If the woman did get close, he had a way to evade a fatal blow.

But he soon discovered his preparations were unnecessary; the woman did not choose to attack while his eyes were closed.

The hands of True Essence continued to manifest, twisting the very air around them.

Each hand of True Essence that Lin Hao manifested possessed unimaginable power.

But the woman’s speed was simply too great. For the moment, Lin Hao was completely unable to touch her.

Just as Lin Hao was racking his brain for a countermeasure, a soft chuckle suddenly reached his ears.

The sound was crystal clear, and upon hearing it, Lin Hao was dealt a heavy blow.

The sound caused his once-mighty Chaos True Essence to stagnate. The hands of True Essence, losing their momentum, dissipated, and Lin Hao’s body felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

The sound was soft, yet utterly terrifying.

"Little brother, you’re hurt. But don’t worry. Have a taste of me, and you’ll be better in no time." The woman’s voice whispered right next to Lin Hao’s ear.

In fact, the moment his hands of True Essence had dissipated, the woman had already arrived at his side.

As she spoke, the woman bent down and grabbed Lin Hao.

Her grab was too fast, and her timing was perfect. By the time Lin Hao could react, she had already succeeded.

Moreover, her hand had latched onto a major acupoint on Lin Hao’s body.

With that one grab, not only did Lin Hao’s entire body go limp, but his sealed Sixth Sense was also forced wide open.

Lin Hao mentally cursed. ’This is bad!’ He tried to hold his breath, but it was already too late.

A light, fragrant scent wafted over and was drawn into his nostrils...
