No, She Wants to Kill Me!

"Fuck!"

Jiang Chuan had not expected that only a few hours after transmigrating, someone would already be trying to kill him.

With no time to think, Jiang Chuan rolled off the bed, dodging the lethal strike.

The female nurse plunged her knife into the mattress beneath Jiang Chuan.

Taking advantage of the opening as the nurse drew her knife, Jiang Chuan kicked the edge of the hospital bed.

Bang!

Like a boulder flung from a catapult, the bed slammed the female nurse straight into the concrete wall.

Bright red blood gushed from the nurse's mouth, staining the mask she wore.

The nurse said in disbelief, "Such incredible strength... could it be that you've already completed Skin Tempering?!"

"Skin Tempering? I've already completed Skin Tempering?" Jiang Chuan could scarcely believe it.

"You geniuses all deserve to die!"

The female nurse screamed madly, "Great Blood Sea Demonic Immortal, accept the sacrifice of your most loyal servant!"

Wisps of Bloody Mist rose from the female nurse's body.

Like a vicious beast about to break free of its restraints and choose someone to devour.

An icy aura spread through the room, and in an instant, Jiang Chuan felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Cold!

So cold!

This must be the mana mentioned in the books. Through sacrifice, she can actually wield the mana that only Fourth Realm Cultivators can command!

As thoughts surged through Jiang Chuan's mind, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. I'm going for it!

Jiang Chuan controlled the warm current stored in his dantian and gathered it into his right palm.

Clenching his five fingers, Jiang Chuan rushed before the nurse and threw a punch at her chest.

"Today, I'll let you see just how tiny the strength you're so proud of is before the power of the Blood Sea Demonic Immortal!"

As the nurse spoke, the Bloody Mist gathered before her and formed a blood-red serpent.

Like an arrow loosed from the bowstring, the serpent collided with Jiang Chuan's fist.

Before the nurse's disbelieving eyes, the blood-red serpent exploded, and Jiang Chuan's fist struck her body.

Bang!

Blood sprayed everywhere. Her body smashed into the wall and burst apart, pierced straight through by Jiang Chuan's punch.

"You... you... th-this is impossible! Even if you completed Skin Tempering, you couldn't possibly contend with mana. You... what... what realm are you..."

The female nurse's eyes went wide with shock. Before she could finish speaking, she had already stopped breathing.

"Huff!"

Feeling the warmth of human blood against his skin and catching the scent of blood, Jiang Chuan let out a long breath before pulling back his fist.

Then, beneath Jiang Chuan's gaze, the female nurse's skin began visibly losing its luster. Her jet-black hair turned withered yellow, then finally became white as snow.

In the span of several breaths, the female nurse seemed to have lived out an entire lifetime, transforming from twenty years old into ninety.

Dense footsteps then sounded outside the door.

"What happened?!"

A doctor in a white coat with a middle-parted hairstyle rushed into Jiang Chuan's ward, followed by seven or eight burly men armed to the teeth.

Jiang Chuan had just been about to explain when he heard the doctor speak.

"Stand down. It's not those Twilight End Society bastards trying to destroy First Hospital. It's only a Blood Sea Divine Cult Follower attacking a patient."

Jiang Chuan: ???

No, she was trying to kill me!

Why did it sound, coming from your mouth, like she merely wanted to take me to a private cinema to watch a movie?!

"Young man, these Blood Sea Divine Cult people are all bullies who fear the strong. They love picking on injured people with limited mobility."

The doctor patted Jiang Chuan's shoulder. "Once you get injured a few more times, you'll get used to it."

The hell do you mean I'll get used to it after getting injured more often?!

Jiang Chuan's eye twitched incessantly.

Glancing at the name Lai Qingfeng on the work badge over the doctor's chest, Jiang Chuan asked, "Doctor Lai, when that female nurse... that Blood Sea Divine Cult Follower attacked me, she said I was a sacrifice. What did that mean?"

"A sacrifice? You've got pretty good talent, kid!"

Lai Qingfeng looked somewhat surprised. "Only people with outstanding talent are chosen by Blood Sea Divine Cult Elders or Branch Cult Masters to become sacrifices for the Blood Sea Demonic Immortal."

"To demonstrate their devotion to the Blood Sea Demonic Immortal, the Blood Sea Divine Cult will stop at nothing to kill these sacrifices."

"But you don't need to worry. The higher-ups have already issued orders to vigorously purge the many evil cults, such as the Blood Sea Divine Cult, that endanger the people's lives and property."

"Once Deputy City Lord Sun Yanfeng recovers from his injuries, he'll surely sweep every kind of evil cult from Nandu City in one stroke."

Rather than feeling relieved by Lai Qingfeng's words, Jiang Chuan became even more troubled.

The higher-ups have already issued orders, yet the Blood Sea Divine Cult hasn't fled. Instead, they still want to sacrifice me to the Blood Sea Demonic Immortal. That means they have nothing to fear even from Sun Yanfeng, Nandu's strongest expert!

At the thought of what Lai Qingfeng had called stopping at nothing, Jiang Chuan felt as though dozens, even hundreds, of snipers had him in their sights, and that he could die the Next Moment!

Today, I killed a Blood Sea Divine Cult Follower. The next one to appear might be a Blood Sea Divine Cult Elder. Above the Elders are Branch Cult Masters, and above the Branch Cult Masters are Cult Masters!

Thinking of the endless pursuit he might suffer at the hands of the Blood Sea Divine Cult, Jiang Chuan clenched his fists.

An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against. I'll always have moments when I let down my guard, but the Blood Sea Divine Cult is pursuing me with everything it has!

I'm just an ordinary person who wants to Lie Flat in peace. Since you want to kill me, then I'll have no choice but to wipe every last one of you out first!

As he thought this, an intense craving for strength surged uncontrollably from the depths of Jiang Chuan's heart!

Strength!

I need strength!

Strength enough to destroy the Blood Sea Divine Cult and kill every single one of them!!!

"If you're truly worried, you can call the Public Security Bureau, or complete your discharge paperwork and return to school."

Lai Qingfeng paused before continuing, "But because the Golden Reaper passed through, many cultivators in the Public Security Bureau were injured, and they're currently short-handed. Even if you report it, I doubt they'll be able to send anyone to protect you."

"To prevent evil cults and demon beasts from endangering students' lives, every school is protected by the military. Nandu Immortal Gate First High School, where you attend, has an entire brigade stationed there."

"With the addition of your school's principal and teachers, even Fifth Realm Cultivators—no, Sixth Realm Cultivators—would have to pay a terrible price to break in. They might even be killed outright."

Jiang Chuan said decisively, "I'll complete my discharge paperwork and return to school right now."

Lai Qingfeng waved a hand. "You're a minor. If you want to complete your discharge paperwork, your guardian has to come."

"Doctor, do you have a phone?"

"Take it. Call your parents."

"I'm not making a call."

"Then what do you need the phone for?"

"I want to check the time and estimate when my mom will finish feeding her cats and remember that she has an actual biological son."

His mother in the other world ran a pet clinic, while his father was a driving school instructor.

Jiang Chuan guessed that things should be the same in this world.

However...

When Jiang Chuan saw his biological mother, Ji Min, he was still stunned.
