Chapter 368: Chapter 366: Why Should I?
As he walked along, Jiang Jichen had already discovered at least thirty mutilated corpses.
These people’s Cultivation was not high, only ranging from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm.
And this place was, naturally, the very first section of the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road.
Hearing the sounds of fighting up ahead, along with furious, terrified roars and sorrowful cries,
Jiang Jichen did not stop.
He had no desire to meddle in other people’s business, but he would certainly not let a fight delay his journey.
Therefore, he soon arrived at the scene of the battle.
From a distance, he saw two incredibly strong Beastmen fighting with over twenty Human Race Cultivators.
But it was clear the Beastmen held a crushing advantage and were massacring the Cultivators.
The two Beastmen must have teleported here from the Beastman Realm, one of the Six Paths Realms.
They were a pair of male and female Minotaurs, their bodies radiating a powerful, wild, and ferocious aura.
In truth, aside from their large bodies and a few unique features, Beastmen didn’t look all that different from humans.
It was even rumored that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was a peerless beauty of the Six Paths Realm, coveted even by the great figures of the Immortal Dao Realm, who longed to capture one as a concubine!
This pair of male and female Minotaurs before him had two large horns on their heads and nostrils that resembled a bull’s, but the rest of their features were human.
At this moment, they were being exceptionally brutal. With a single thrust of their chilling horns, two Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators were impaled straight through, left hanging from their horns as blood showered their faces.
They didn’t mind in the slightest; in fact, they were incomparably excited, relishing the moment.
"Haha... Human Race Cultivators are so weak! Hmph, if it weren’t for the Six Paths Barrier, we Beastmen would surely dominate the Human Race Continent!"
"Enough nonsense. Just kill them all. Then we’ll press on and hunt more humans. They’re all just food for us!"
The male and female Minotaurs spoke with cruel arrogance.
As they spoke, they gave their horns a shake. Amidst screams of agony, the two impaled Human Race Cultivators exploded with a BOOM, turning into a rain of blood and flesh that filled the air.
The remaining Cultivators were pale with terror, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
"BOOM!"
Then, bolts of lightning as thick as water buckets shot out from the male Minotaur’s horns.
"CRACKLE!"
"SPLAT!"
Instantly, five Human Race Foundation Establishment Cultivators were struck by the lightning and violently exploded.
Jiang Jichen watched this scene with cold eyes, his face a mask of indifference.
He could tell that the two Minotaurs’ Cultivation Realm was only equivalent to the Human Race’s Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
But they were still able to so easily crush a group of Early-stage and Middle Realm Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Human Race, which showed just how tyrannical their combat strength was.
Not only did they have offensive Talent Techniques, but their physical defense was also incredibly powerful.
Just now, a Cultivator had attacked the female Minotaur, but couldn’t even break her skin.
Thus, the dozen or so remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators were utterly hopeless!
However, at that moment, someone spotted Jiang Jichen and recognized him.
"It’s Jiang Jichen! He’s so strong, he can definitely handle these two Beastmen!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, we implore you to save us!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, as fellow Cultivators of the Human Race, we should help each other and resist foreign enemies together! Please, make your move!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, hurry and kill these two evil bulls! Avenge the fallen Human Race Cultivators!"
...
Those people took a step back, temporarily evading the Minotaurs’ attacks, and shouted at the top of their lungs.
They had witnessed Jiang Jichen’s power before and hoped he would intervene and save them.
However, Jiang Jichen’s face remained a mask of indifference. He was unmoved.
In fact, a hint of Killing Intent toward those Foundation Establishment Cultivators even appeared in his eyes.
He didn’t want to get involved, but they were insisting on dragging him into this mess.
These Cultivators—disciples of Noble Families and Sects, as well as Loose Cultivators—had absolutely no connection to him.
’What does their life or death have to do with me?’
’Besides, who’s to say these people don’t usually hate me to the bone? That they haven’t thought about killing me and taking everything I own?’
’And now they dare to invoke the greater good of the Human Race to ask for my help?’
’It’s utterly ridiculous, utterly shameless!’
Jiang Jichen pretended not to hear and continued on his way.
But things did not go as he wished. The two Minotaurs were hunting humans and had no intention of letting a single one go.
Thus, there was no way they would let Jiang Jichen leave.
The male Minotaur flashed forward, blocking Jiang Jichen’s path.
The female Minotaur, meanwhile, kept her eyes on the group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, making sure not a single one had a chance to escape.
"They’re begging you for help. Seems you’re someone with quite a bit of prestige among the Human Race. Heh heh... Killing someone like you is always more satisfying, more thrilling!"
The male Minotaur laughed with extreme arrogance, his face twisted into a vicious sneer.
Jiang Jichen was speechless. He didn’t want to fight; he just wanted to get on his way as quickly as possible.
So, he restrained himself and said, "I don’t know them. Please step aside. I’m just passing through."
Jiang Jichen made it clear he didn’t want to fight and only wanted to be on his way, hoping the Minotaur would let him pass.
However, it would have been better if he’d said nothing. Upon hearing his words, the male Minotaur roared in fury, "Insignificant human! You dare tell me to step aside?! You’re courting death!"
As he spoke, the male Minotaur raised a massive fist and smashed it toward Jiang Jichen.
In the male Minotaur’s eyes, Jiang Jichen was too small and thin; a single punch would be more than enough to obliterate him.
A single disagreement, and he moved to kill!
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Jichen’s eyes.
Then, he casually raised a hand and threw a punch of his own to meet the attack head-on.
Seeing Jiang Jichen’s action, the female Minotaur over on the side couldn’t help but laugh mockingly. "To dare trade punches with a Minotaur, whose strength ranks in the top three of my Beastman Race... This human is a fucking idiot!"
However, the moment the words left her mouth, she heard the male Minotaur let out a wretched scream.
Upon the collision of their fists, Jiang Jichen hadn’t moved an inch, while the male Minotaur’s fist had utterly shattered. His body was sent flying backward, smashing into the yellow sand.
This....
Everyone who saw this was stunned into silence.
The female Minotaur, in particular, stared with wide, bull-like eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
The Physical Strength they took so much pride in was so utterly fragile before this slender Human Race youth.
The female Minotaur had just called him a fucking idiot!
Now she realized she was the real fucking idiot!
When the group of Human Race Foundation Establishment Cultivators snapped out of it, their faces lit up with joy. They thought they were saved.
Not far away, Jiang Jichen strode over to the male Minotaur, stomped a foot on its head, and said angrily, "I told you to step aside, but you just had to block my path, had to throw a punch at me. Can’t we all just get along peacefully and build a better Heavenly Refining Ancient Road together?"
"Well, now look. You brought this on yourself, so don’t blame me for what happens next!"
As he finished speaking, Killing Intent surged from his body.
From a distance, the female Minotaur shouted, "Wait! Let him go, or else I’ll kill these companions of yours!"
Jiang Jichen looked up, his gaze cold as ice.
He saw that the female Minotaur was already holding two Human Race Cultivators by their necks, her eyes filled with an expression that said she had Jiang Jichen right where she wanted him.
At the same time, the two Human Race Cultivators struggled and screamed, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, help us!"
At this point, their only hope was Jiang Jichen.
However, Jiang Jichen simply looked at them with a grim smile and said, "On what grounds?"
As he spoke, a sudden burst of power erupted from his foot. The male Minotaur’s head exploded with a BOOM, completely obliterated!
