Chapter 531: A Minor Reprimand for Ren Tianpeng, the Holy Light Swamp Rule

Yi Ning did not hesitate to activate her Skill, merging with the Holy Spirit Unicorn into a blazing, dazzling White Light.

At the front of the Light Orb, the unicorn's horn glittered with sharp silver light, like a keen sword.

Skill: Holy Charge!

Yi Ning did not hesitate to regard the youth ahead as an enemy and rushed at full speed!

The youth's complexion changed abruptly, clearly unwilling to clash head‑on with Yi Ning; he commanded his golden eagle to dodge swiftly.

Jiang Chen followed closely, also quickening his pace, and charged toward the Instance Entrance together with Yi Ning.

However, just as they were about to rush into the Instance, a dazzling golden light fell from the sky, forming a wall that blocked Yi Ning.

Yi Ning's Skill slammed into the golden light, which shattered instantly, and her Skill dissipated along with it.

"To be able to withstand Yi Ning's charge, this Skill's defensive power must be considerable," Jiang Chen thought, noting that the opponent's Skill clearly possessed impressive defense.

Yi Ning's charge Skill was immensely powerful, even surpassing a Knight of the same level, yet it was still blocked.

The youth appeared again in Yi Ning's sight, still stubbornly standing before her, "Ning'er, why do you always refuse to acknowledge me?"

Yi Ning's expression turned as cold as ice, "Ren Tianpeng, if you dare call me Ning'er again, I will truly act."

Ren Tianpeng seemed unfazed by Yi Ning's threat; he brazenly continued, "Then tell me, what must I do to get a chance? Actually, we're a perfect match."

Yi Ning replied coldly, "Impossible, move aside!"

Ren Tianpeng did not retreat.

,"My team is already ready; if you want to go to the Holy Light Swamp to get the Holy Light, I can help you."

Yi Ning shouted angrily, "I don't need your help!"

Ren Tianpeng persisted, "If I don't help you, you certainly can't defeat the BOSS alone, nor obtain the Holy Light."

"That's my business; move aside!" Yi Ning's tone was filled with murderous intent.

Yet Ren Tianpeng acted like a scoundrel, shamelessly blocking Yi Ning, "Yi Ning, let me help you just once, give me a chance, okay?"

Yi Ning's face turned iron‑blue with anger; if she hadn't considered the relationship between the Ren family and her own, she would have acted already. Her temper is fiery and her patience limited.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Though Ren Tianpeng is annoying, he's at least more amusing than An Junzhi; his cheek is truly thick.

Yi Ning looked at Jiang Chen, nervously asking, "Can you help us break through these people's obstruction and enter the Instance?"

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, "Sure, but how do you plan to deal with those people? Need me to give them a lesson?"

Yi Ning sighed lightly, "No need; they're Ren family members from Rivermouth City, and the Yi Family has been friendly for generations, so we shouldn't burn bridges."

Then she shifted tone, a sly glint in her eye, "But if Ren Tianpeng could get a taste of hardship, that'd be better. This guy's cheek is truly thick."

Jiang Chen understood Yi Ning's intention, nodded, "Alright, I'll figure something out."

He turned and flew toward the direction of the Instance.

Ren Tianpeng saw this, frowned, looked at Jiang Chen's back, and disdainfully said, "You're the one Yi Ning brought"

"as a helper? He doesn't look that great either."

Although he couldn't discern Jiang Chen's exact level, since he was here to help Yi Ning with the Instance, his level couldn't be too low. Ren Tianpeng himself had reached Level 55, and with the seven Summoners beside him and their Summoned Beasts, even if the opponent were a Level 60 master, they were confident in a showdown.

Yet Jiang Chen seemed to ignore his words and kept flying forward.

Ren Tianpeng's face darkened, shouting, "If you come any closer, don't blame me for being rude!"

But Jiang Chen still paid him no heed.

Feeling his face was challenged, Ren Tianpeng whispered to the Summoners nearby, "Stop him!"

Yet, to everyone's surprise, the Summoners each stood still, taking no action.

Ren Tianpeng looked at them puzzled, seeing terror on their faces as if they had seen something dreadful.

Following their gaze, he saw a layer of white bone suddenly envelop Jiang Chen, like a death god emerging from hell.

The Summoners, along with their Summoned Beasts, all lost mobility beneath that white bone, forced to watch Jiang Chen pass by helplessly.

Startled, Ren Tianpeng tried to resist but it was too late. He felt an indescribable searing pain surge from his brain, as if millions of needles were stabbing his nerves.

He let out a howl, curling up on the ground, trembling.

He watched helplessly as Jiang Chen and Yi Ning entered the Instance Entrance, disappearing from view.

That excruciating pain lingered for a long time before gradually fading. Ren Tianpeng, catching his breath, stared pale at that

entrance, his eyes filled with both anger and fear.

After a short while, the white bone on the Summoners vanished. They scrambled to their feet and asked Ren Tianpeng, "Young clan chief, are you alright?"

Ren Tianpeng remained silent, coldly staring at the entrance as if trying to see through it.

"Should we inform the clan chief about this?"

"Young clan chief, we were just restrained by a mysterious force."

Ren Tianpeng shook his head lightly, "No need, the opponent had no intention to harm me, just gave me a warning."

"The strength of that Soul Attack is beyond comprehension. Who exactly is this person?"

"Yi Ning has actually befriended such a master."

"You all, go investigate this person's background. Skilled in Soul Attack, with powerful binding methods, and so young..."

Ren Tianpeng recalled the mysterious figure's features in detail, knowing such a person would be renowned among the Human Race.

At that moment, a subordinate cautiously spoke, "Young clan chief, I think I might know his identity."

"Who is it?" Ren Tianpeng asked.

"Young clan chief, you've been secluded in the family Secret Realm for half a year, unaware of outside affairs. Recently, a peerless genius has emerged among the Human Race."

Ren Tianpeng showed puzzlement; indeed, he had been cut off from the world for six months, unaware of external events.

"Speak directly, no beating around the bush," Ren Tianpeng urged.

The person hurriedly replied, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Jiang Chen, the youngest Triple‑Star Divine General in Human Race history."

Ren Tianpeng exclaimed, "What are you saying! Triple‑Star Divine General! But he's clearly below Level 60, how is that possible?"

The person explained, "Nowadays

All-Human Race are spreading the deeds of Divine General Jiang, and a minor clan chief can learn them with a simple inquiry."

Ren Tianpeng did not doubt his words, and after a moment of thought, "Let's go back first."

"What about Miss Yi Ning?"

Ren Tianpeng said resolutely, "We will set aside Miss Yi Ning's matter for now; if this person truly is that Divine General, I would never dare to provoke them lightly."

"Hurry, hurry!"

The few of them each activated a Teleport Stone and quickly left this place of trouble.

……

Holy Light Swamp Instance, Hell Difficulty.

Within the instance, swamps are everywhere, each patch shimmering with holy white light, starkly different from ordinary swamps.

Between the swamps, narrow passages have formed.

At the edges of the swamps, various plants grow.

There are delicate flowers, emerald grass leaves, and most abundantly, those short trees.

These trees are only about a meter tall, lacking dense foliage, yet they have sturdy trunks.

They seem like guardians of the earth, standing silently there, witnessing every challenge and adventure.

Their branches hang like snakes on the ground, plunging deep into the swamp, their length seemingly unfathomable.

Yi Ning said cautiously, "The rule of this instance is that we cannot fly arbitrarily; we must travel along the narrow paths between the swamps."

"These short trees have very cunning attack methods," she added, "their branches can quickly entangle a person, and once bound, it's hard to break free."

Jiang Chen furrowed his brow and asked, "Is it really impossible to fly here?"

He did not sense any Forbidden Void power, so he felt somewhat puzzled.

Yi Ning shook her head and explained, "It's not a complete Forbidden Void, but..."

"once you take flight, you will be struck by the powerful attacks of the Holy Light Swamp."

"The Holy Light's attacks are extremely fierce and almost impossible to evade," she added.

Jiang Chen's curiosity was sparked, and he decided to give it a try.

He unfolded his Lightning Nether Spirit Wings and slowly rose into the air.

Just after leaving the ground, a dazzling pure white Holy Light instantly struck him.

Jiang Chen's Bone Armor flashed with bright light, successfully blocking the blow.

The Holy Light, like a searchlight, shot out from a nearby swamp, continuously attacking Jiang Chen.

The attack from a single swamp posed no threat to Jiang Chen; he could almost completely ignore it.

However, when he tried to fly higher, more Holy Light shot out from other swamps, changing attack angles as if keeping in sync with him.

When he rose more than ten meters above the ground, three White Lights struck him simultaneously.

Four swamps launched attacks at once, and the power of the four attacks did not simply add up but multiplied.

Jiang Chen's Bone Armor creaked under the intense assault, seeming on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Chen realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly descended back to the ground. The moment he touched down, all attacks vanished instantly.

"The attacks of the Holy Light Swamp are indeed peculiar," Jiang Chen whispered.

Yi Ning nodded and reminded, "A single Holy Light attack might still be bearable, but as the number increases, the damage will rise rapidly."

"Therefore, here we are better off choosing to go through on foot," she concluded.

Jiang Chen wholeheartedly agreed, deciding to follow Yi Ning's advice and proceed along the path between the swamps.
