Chapter 140: Chapter 138: An Imperfect Ending_1



"Dark Night\'s Twilight!"

Jiang Ling suddenly rushed to the front of the Nightfall Members, her body\'s black aura surging wildly, turning into a giant black wheel spanning a kilometer, devouring the raging thunder coming their way.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing this, the General\'s expression started to show panic, "How could there be a pill capable of driving out the poison from that damned poisonous formation!"

As Jiang Ling, having regained her strength, returned to the center of the battlefield, the sky that was once covered by lightning was now half swallowed by the soaring black aura.

The lightning and the black aura were like two ferocious beasts, constantly tearing at and devouring each other in the sky.

Their battle was incredibly intense; the other Practitioners couldn\'t even get a hand in, and the senior warriors of both sides were again entangled in a harsh fight.

On the periphery of the entire battlefield, only Fang Ren remained calmly perched atop a massive tree, his gaze carefully inspecting each and every fruit.

Each of these fruits represented an opportunity, which he couldn\'t just waste. Although his breakthroughs had been smooth so far, the more advanced the cultivation, the harder it became to progress, and the frequency of forming connections would drastically decrease.

After wandering around the tree for a while, Fang Ren finally plucked a fruit from the very top of the great tree and another from the higher branches—after all, according to Qianye, if he wanted to get stronger quickly, he should take the ones from above.

Fang Ren had absolute faith in Qianye\'s words. At first, when Qianye said the Asura Path\'s strength increased rapidly, he didn\'t really believe it, but now the truth was self-evident, as fast as riding a comet.

Of the fruits he picked from the tree, one was white and the other blue; the white one was from the top, and the blue one was also from the upper branches.

The white fruit looked like a sweet potato, with no great spectacle, while the blue one was different—it burned with a blue flame, yet its temperature was ice cold and bone-chilling, quite strange indeed.

But Fang Ren still favored the white fruit, after all, it was the one that grew at the top of the great tree.

After plucking the fruits, Fang Ren didn\'t immediately eat them, but stored them inside his Space Ring.

By this time, the battle at the central battlefield was nearing its end. Jiang Ling was in peak condition, while the General had exhausted too much in the previous fights. There had already been a gap between the two, and if not for Jiang Ling being poisoned, that General probably would have been defeated long ago.

Although both were of the same Realm, Jiang Ling was someone who could match the Commander of the Central Command, definitely not someone a Great General could withstand.

"Dark Art! Prime Break Slash!"

Jiang Ling\'s kilometer-wide black blade light cleaved through the pillars of lightning in the sky, landing directly atop the General\'s protective True Qi, with the energy of destruction causing the ground for several kilometers around to crater dozens of meters deep.

"Pfft!"

The General, although he took the slash head on, couldn\'t stop spewing blood from his mouth, his organs upended by the blow.

Humm—

Seeing the dire situation, the General immediately turned and harnessed the power of thunder to flee into the distance. Just before escaping, he glared fiercely in Fang Ren\'s direction as if to etch his image into his memory.

It was all because of this inconspicuous man at the Mid-Stage of the Chongshan Realm that he missed the perfect opportunity to annihilate the entire Nightfall Organization!

Seeing the General fleeing, Jiang Ling didn\'t give chase but quickly turned around to deal with the remaining remnants of the Tianjiang Investigation Group; after all, no one knew if there were more Tianjiang forces coming from afar or if it was a trap set up.

Once the enemy\'s General of the Xuan Yang Realm fled, the remaining senior enemy warriors were easier to deal with. Jiang Ling alone could annihilate dozens in an instant.

After a while, the entirety of Linglong Bay had become a wasteland, with flames still spreading towards the distant forest. The ground across six miles was drenched in blood, piled with bones—the scene was exceedingly cruel.

"Everyone, pull out from here!"

With Jiang Ling\'s command, tens of thousands of Practitioners swiftly retreated to various places, taking with them the experimental subjects rescued from the lab.

Fang Ren watched, dazed, truly not understanding why they had to scatter for the retreat.

"Let\'s go!"

Jian Qi\'er flew over, grabbed Fang Ren, and flew off towards the direction of the school.

"Hey, just because the battle\'s over, we\'re not having a meeting to wrap things up?" Fang Ren asked.

"What do you know? The war was huge, and with so many people from our organization, a group retreat in the same direction would definitely expose headquarters," Jian Qi\'er explained. "Much of the information can only be revealed during night gatherings."

"So I\'m going to be out all night again?" Fang Ren was stunned. "Who knows what nonsense they\'ll spread in class tomorrow about who I hooked up with this time?"

"You don\'t have to show up if you don\'t want to, but the whole organization needs to thank you. Without you, we probably would have been completely wiped out in this war," Jian Qi\'er said.

"Speaking of which, I\'m covered in blood; how am I supposed to return to school? And since Chen Cheng from the Bai Family definitely saw me leave, if I rush back now, I\'m bound to be suspected," Fang Ren said.

Jian Qi\'er frowned. "Then why don\'t you come over to my place?"

"To your place?" Fang Ren was startled again. "Won\'t that start another scandal?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qi\'er slapped her forehead in frustration and said helplessly, "I\'m a major celebrity and I\'m not afraid of any rumors with you, so what are you scared of?"

"After all, I am the legitimate fiance of Princess Tianjiang and the rightful husband of Xuan Nv of the Nine Heavens!" Fang Ren stated earnestly.

"Well ... now that you mention it, you would indeed be the one to lose out if a scandal broke," Jian Qi\'er conceded with embarrassment.

In a short while, Jian Qi\'er took Fang Ren and flew directly to a villa in Yangming City.

Since Baili University was in Linyang City, they were safe from Chen Cheng\'s surveillance in Yangming City, hence they could move without worry.

Arriving at the villa, Fang Ren was stunned; the villa was simply too extravagant.

"You live here alone?" Fang Ren asked, looking at the luxurious facilities inside the villa, dumbfounded.

"Of course, how can I, as a member of Nightfall, dare to let any maids or security staff inside the house?"

Jian Qi\'er led him inside, locked the front door, dragged her tired body to the sofa, tossed the broken blade in her hand away, and without caring about the blood staining the sofa, she leaned back and took off her veil.

"You go wash up in the bathroom first; I\'ll go after you\'re done," Jian Qi\'er said.

"You go ahead, I\'m not that tired," Fang Ren said.

"Don\'t start that \'ladies first\' thing with me now. You\'re our savior at Nightfall. No matter what, in my eyes, you\'re a friend that Jian Qi\'er respects," she insisted.

"It\'s just a bath, no need for all that talk," Fang Ren said as he headed toward the bathroom.

"Hey! I\'m seriously trying to give you the respect you deserve here!" Jian Qi\'er called back in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright, if it\'s life and death, it\'s life and death. I value Nightfall a lot, otherwise I wouldn\'t bother giving you so many pills," Fang Ren said.

"Speaking of which, what about that caretaker of yours?"

"I tricked him into leaving; otherwise, he would have joined the Tianjiang Investigation Group by now," Jian Qi\'er replied.

"Tricked ... "

"Let\'s talk after the shower."

With that, Fang Ren entered the bathroom, and the sound of water soon followed.

Jian Qi\'er lay on the sofa with a complicated expression. Although they had won today, many brothers and sisters had died, and they had not managed to secure the most crucial secret documents.

What seemed like a victory was also a kind of defeat.

As Jian Qi\'er\'s thoughts were swirling with complexity, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket. She immediately took it out to find it was a call from her manager.

"Crap! I forgot there was something on today with the film crew!"

Jian Qi\'er looked at her phone, her whole person suddenly feeling chaotic: "She wouldn\'t have come directly to my house, would she?"

Glancing again toward the bathroom where Fang Ren was and then at her phone, she hurriedly pressed the answer button.
