Chapter 369: Chapter 367: Taking the Chance to Escape
The female Minotaur froze, completely dumbfounded.
She had clearly been threatening him with two Human Race Cultivators.
So why did he, without a word of warning, just stomp her husband’s head into pieces?
However, she quickly understood.
It was all because she had been too self-righteous, thinking he would care about his own kind.
After all, the humans by her side had just been crying out to him for help.
It turned out she had been completely misled.
He didn’t care at all whether these Human Race Cultivators lived or died. He was utterly cold and ruthless.
If her husband hadn’t blocked the young man’s path just now...
...the human boy really would have minded his own business and left without a second thought.
But her husband had insisted on stepping forward to block him.
The boy had warned him, but not only did her husband refuse to step aside, he even attacked.
That was why the boy had finally gotten angry and dealt a fatal blow.
’But... he’s just a boy from the Human Race. How can he be this strong?’
’He killed my husband—who had "copper skin and iron bones" and had mastered the Great Strength Bull Demon Fist—with a single punch.’
It was something she couldn’t even imagine.
But no matter the reason, he had killed her husband. He was now her mortal enemy.
So, the female Minotaur grew enraged.
BAM!
She forcefully smashed the two Human Race Cultivators together.
With an explosion of immense force, the two Cultivators let out a blood-curdling scream before bursting apart, their bodies instantly torn to pieces.
Severed limbs, heads, and mangled torsos scattered everywhere.
"You killed my husband! I’ll make you pay with your life!"
The female Minotaur roared as endless arcs of electricity flowed from her twin horns, sweeping toward Jiang Jichen.
Jiang Jichen sneered. He didn’t dodge or evade, standing proudly in place.
He allowed the lightning to crash down upon him.
’Hmph, lightning!’
He had been struck by tens of millions of lightning bolts before. The pathetic amount of electricity this Minotaur could produce wasn’t even enough to scratch an itch.
Endless lightning engulfed him.
"Damn it, why is Jiang Jichen so stupid? He’s not even dodging! That lightning is terrifyingly powerful!"
"This is bad. If Jiang Jichen dies, we’re done for."
"Jiang Jichen never planned to save us in the first place. He’s too cold and heartless. He feels no camaraderie for his fellow humans."
"Yeah, let’s use the chaos of his fight with the female Minotaur to get out of here. Otherwise, once she’s free, we’re dead for sure!"
...
The remaining ten Foundation Establishment Realm Human Race Cultivators whispered amongst themselves, their faces pale with terror.
They were genuinely afraid that Jiang Jichen would be defeated.
Jiang Jichen was already submerged in endless lightning, and they had witnessed its terrible power firsthand.
If Jiang Jichen were defeated and killed, they would surely die if they stayed.
The same thought occurred to all of them. They exchanged a look of tacit understanding and nodded.
Then, without another moment of hesitation, they charged forward, fleeing the area at top speed.
ZZZT...
The endless lightning strikes hammered Jiang Jichen’s body. Not only was he unharmed, but his physical body could even attract and refine the trace of the Power of Life within the lightning.
After one wave of lightning attacks, the female Minotaur assumed the insignificant human was surely dead.
"Your lightning is too weak."
When the lightning dissipated, Jiang Jichen spoke, completely unscathed.
"You... How is this possible?"
The female Minotaur’s mind reeled at the sight, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Her lightning attack just now had been powerful. Even in the Beastman Realm, no Foundation Establishment Realm Beastman would dare to face it with their physical body alone.
"No, I don’t believe it! Die!"
The female Minotaur snapped back to her senses. She refused to believe it. Her bull-headed stubbornness took over, and she once again conjured lightning to bombard Jiang Jichen.
"You’re not good enough."
Despite being hit by the female Minotaur’s even stronger lightning attack, Jiang Jichen remained completely unharmed.
He stood with his hands behind his back, tilting his head up at a forty-five-degree angle toward the sky, and spoke with a cool arrogance.
ZAP!
ZAP!
...
The female Minotaur conjured lightning again and again, bombarding Jiang Jichen.
Jiang Jichen wore the lonely expression of an unmatched master.
He let the arcs of electricity coil around his body, looking incredibly cool.
He flicked his sleeve and chuckled. "Old cow, didn’t you eat today? This little bit of electricity is far too weak!"
At this point, the female Minotaur had no fight left in her.
She could no longer conjure lightning from her horns; her power was completely exhausted.
She was so tired she was about to collapse on the ground.
Yet, the human boy still stood there ramrod straight, with that same look of solitary, supreme arrogance.
"I... I’ll fight you to the death!"
The female Minotaur collapsed from exhaustion, knowing she was no match for this human boy.
She had wanted to escape first, find reinforcements, and then deal with the boy.
But then she heard him call her "old cow."
She was furious!
She was a cow, yes, but she was definitely not old!
She hated it most when people called her old!
So, the female Minotaur flew into a rage, lowered her two horns, and charged at Jiang Jichen at full speed.
The female Minotaur was fast, but how could she possibly escape the perception of Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Divine Soul Spiritual Thought?
And so, Jiang Jichen simply reached out one hand and caught the female Minotaur by the horn.
The immense power brought the female Minotaur to a dead stop, unable to advance even half a step.
Then, no longer holding back, Jiang Jichen threw a punch.
SPLAT!
The female Minotaur’s head also burst open, meeting the same fate as her husband.
Without a single glance at the two Minotaur corpses, Jiang Jichen continued on his way.
A cold sneer touched the corner of his mouth.
’Those people certainly know how to pick their moment to escape. But do you really think you can survive just by running away from here?’
Jiang Jichen thought to himself.
How could their discussion and their opportunistic escape possibly have evaded his senses?
But Jiang Jichen didn’t care.
He used Shadow Step and moved forward at an incredible speed.
This was only the very beginning of the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road, so there weren’t many people, and the otherworldly creatures that appeared weren’t very powerful yet.
As Jiang Jichen advanced, he refined the medicinal power in his body, slowly recovering from his injuries.
He had now recovered sixty percent of his strength, and his combat power was even greater.
Just now, for example, he had deliberately let the female Minotaur bombard him with lightning in order to absorb that trace of the Power of Life within it, as well as to catalyze the medicinal power in his body and speed up his recovery.
After traveling for about a hundred li, Jiang Jichen suddenly heard screams from up ahead.
The voices were familiar; they belonged to the Human Race Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had taken the opportunity to flee earlier.
At this moment, they were fighting a Female Asura!
Asuras from the Asura Realm, one of the Six Paths Realms, were belligerent, bloodthirsty, and possessed astonishing combat talent.
Legend had it that in the Asura Realm, the male Asuras were incomparably ugly, while the Female Asuras were breathtakingly beautiful.
To Jiang Jichen’s great surprise, the one who had appeared ahead was indeed a young Female Asura.
She wore black Battle Armor that accentuated her perfect, slender figure.
Her face was peerlessly beautiful, her aura cold. Her ink-black hair shimmered with a glossy sheen.
Her gaze was icy, yet a flame of battle danced within her eyes.
Such a peerlessly beautiful woman, combining a cold aura with a warrior’s spirit, held a fatal attraction for men.
She was the kind of woman one would want to conquer, to possess.
However, this gorgeous Female Asura was very young, and her Cultivation Realm was not high. She seemed to be just a novice, currently fighting against that group of Human Race Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had fled.
