Chapter 238: Chapter 236: Humanoid Dark Creature

The Little Bright Arrow Technique!

Typically, only the legendary Light Race could use this technique, which was created specifically to combat the Dark Clan.

Before, Jiang Jichen would have been unable to use the Little Bright Arrow Technique, as it required Bright Spiritual Power.

But now, he cultivated the `Source Character Qi Condensing Technique`!

All spirits return to the source, and from the source, all spirits can be manifested. Therefore, the Spiritual Power inside Jiang Jichen’s body could naturally be converted into Bright Spiritual Power.

And the Little Bright Arrow Technique... was the very bane of the Dark Clan.

The Dark Giant Pythons were merely low-level Dark Creatures. How could they possibly stand against a legendary Supreme Technique of the Light Race?

He pulled Cang Lengyun along, weaving through the Dark Giant Pythons.

Whenever they encountered one, Jiang Jichen would shoot out a Little Bright Arrow with a flick of his finger.

He never missed, and every arrow was a killing blow, making Cang Lengyun gasp in shock.

Hailing from a Great Family, she naturally knew how terrifying Dark Creatures were.

Her family had its own Dark Area, used specifically for training its disciples.

And every disciple who entered had a Cultivation far superior to the creatures in that Dark Area.

But during every training session, many still perished.

The Dark Giant Pythons they were facing now were far more powerful than the creatures in her family’s Dark Area, and Jiang Jichen’s Cultivation Realm was much lower than that of her family’s disciples.

Yet Jiang Jichen was annihilating these Dark Creatures in the blink of an eye!

Soon, Jiang Jichen had led Cang Lengyun out of the Dark Giant Pythons’ territory.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately executed his Step Technique, shifting sideways at extreme speed.

As he executed Void Shadowless, he also activated his Blood-Red Battle Armor and the Ten-layered Golden Spirit Pattern Space. He circulated his Undying Power throughout his body, entering his strongest defensive state.

But he was still a fraction too slow. A black Spiritual Pattern grazed past his body!

PSH!

Even with such powerful defenses, they were instantly shattered. A large chunk of flesh was sliced right off Jiang Jichen’s shoulder.

No blood flowed from the severed piece of flesh. Instead, it rapidly emitted black smoke and soon turned to nothingness.

Even the flesh of the wound on Jiang Jichen’s shoulder was dissolving at a visible rate. With a SIZZLING sound and plumes of black smoke, the wound deepened until the bone was visible in an instant.

But in that moment, Jiang Jichen had already manifested a wave of the Power of Light, surging it to his shoulder wound to burn away the Dark Power and stop its corrosion.

’What terrifying Dark Power!’

’What a terrifying Spiritual Pattern attack!’

’This is definitely not something a Dark Giant Python could possess.’

Jiang Jichen pulled Cang Lengyun back several hundred meters in an instant. Only then did he see a humanoid creature standing in a dark shadow under the moonlight, a pair of eerie eyes staring at them grimly.

’So that was it!’

The source of his lingering unease, the reason he had been so eager to leave, was certainly not the Dark Giant Pythons that he could destroy with a flick of his finger.

Thus, Jiang Jichen had remained on high alert. It was only when he was about to leave the area that the terrifying humanoid Dark Creature hiding in the Darkness finally couldn’t resist making its move.

Jiang Jichen’s expression was incredibly grave.

His Little Bright Arrow Technique could annihilate Dark Giant Pythons in an instant, but against this mysterious and terrifying humanoid Dark Creature, he feared it was far from enough.

Ultimately, it was because his Cultivation Realm was too low.

If he were to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, the power of his Little Bright Arrow Technique would be far greater than this!

"There are no more Dark Giant Pythons beyond this point. I have completed the first task. Now, you must leave this place immediately!"

Jiang Jichen said calmly.

Even though the wound on his shoulder was deep enough to expose bone, his expression didn’t change in the slightest.

This made Cang Lengyun gasp. Inexplicably, she felt a pang of sympathy.

’What a strange feeling. Logically, wasn’t I supposed to be the cold and ruthless young miss of the Cang Family?’

"I...!"

Just as Cang Lengyun was about to speak, Jiang Jichen suddenly grabbed her and threw her aside with an extremely rough motion!

But with Jiang Jichen’s formidable physical strength, Cang Lengyun was caught completely off guard by the throw. She had no strength to resist as her body was sent flying into the distance.

"I’m giving you a Moonlight Jade Pendant. It has my mark on it. With this, the second task is complete. As for the third, we can talk about it after you’ve thought things through!"

"Also, don’t even think about coming back. You’re no match for this humanoid Dark Creature. Coming back would just be suicide. I’ll lead it in another direction. Don’t worry. I still owe you one task. I won’t die so easily before I’ve completed it!"

In the instant he threw Cang Lengyun, Jiang Jichen saw a glint of tears in the corner of her eye.

His heart was slightly moved, so he added those last few words.

After that, Jiang Jichen abruptly charged toward the humanoid creature...

When Cang Lengyun’s body landed, she was already several thousand meters away.

She listened to Jiang Jichen’s voice transmission, her heart a turmoil of complex emotions.

Finally, she took one last, deep look at Jiang Jichen’s distant figure before turning to leave.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but just as Jiang Jichen had said, she would only be throwing her life away.

Leaving was the greatest help she could offer him!

If she were still the cold and ruthless young miss of the Cang Family, leaving at a time like this would not have caused her the slightest psychological burden.

But now, she felt uneasy, she felt worried, she felt guilty. Her heart now held a place for someone!

Someone she had once viewed as a lowly ant!

...

The humanoid creature standing in the shadows was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Jichen actually daring to approach it.

Moreover, this human, whose strength was not great, had somehow managed to avoid the brunt of its killing blow.

The man’s Spiritual Sense and combat awareness also made the humanoid Dark Creature somewhat wary.

But Jiang Jichen just laughed coldly. "You hid for so long, but what’s the difference in the end? You can’t kill me, so naturally, you can’t take my bloodline either!"

"You... how did you know I want to take your bloodline?" the humanoid Dark Creature in the shadows asked, shocked and incredulous.

"If you don’t take my bloodline, how could you ever leave this Exquisite Treasure Tower? I imagine... the Exquisite Treasure Tower must hide a heaven-shattering secret. For example, many of the so-called geniuses who walked out of the Exquisite Treasure Tower in the past were actually just strange creatures that had stolen their bloodlines and bodies." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Jiang Jichen had seen through such a heaven-shattering secret in a single glance.

For millions of years, no one had known. But now that Jiang Jichen had spoken it aloud, the humanoid Dark Creature in the shadows trembled violently. Its voice shook as it said, "How is that possible? How did you figure it out? No, you must die! I can’t let you leave here alive!"

"Too bad. It’s too late. The one who’s going to die isn’t me... it’s you!"

Just as the humanoid Dark Creature was lost in shock, Jiang Jichen suddenly transformed into a blazing, brilliant ray of light. Then, he wrapped himself around the humanoid Dark Creature in the shadows...
