905. Chapter 903: Sudden Aberration

Boom—

The dull humming sounded continuously, accompanied by waves of spiritual power fluctuations; the surface of this purplish-red crystal quickly became bright, and strange ripples spread out in all directions.

Jiang Tian watched silently as the purplish-red crystal gradually brightened; he couldn't help but feel overjoyed! If this truly is a rare blood vein spirit pill, and its grade has even reached the peak, that would be incredibly exciting! 'Quick, quick, let me devour it!'

Jiang Tian shouted excitedly, urging his Overlord Dragon Body to run wildly, preparing to deal with this strange object as soon as possible.

But just then, a sudden aberration occurred!

'Something's wrong!'

Jiang Tian's eye twitched, his face suddenly darkened, and a hint of warning flashed through his mind—Boom—! Before he could dodge, a violent roar burst from the void ahead.

The remnants of the shattered treasure actually vanished without a trace, as if evaporated into thin air! 'Damn it! How could this happen?'

Jiang Tian's face sank, and he suddenly jolted awake in shock!

This scene bore a striking resemblance to the secret technique employed by those black-robed martial artists on the desolate small town outside Cangjingcheng back then!

Those martial artists, using some special method, caused the blood vein residue to flare up and vanish, and as the blood vein residue departed, the residual power left by Lu Yuan completely disappeared.

This situation is extremely similar to the method those black-robed martial artists used before, the only difference being that Lu Yuan has already fled! 'Now I understand!'

After figuring it all out, Jiang Tian finally came to a sudden realization.

After Lu Yuan fled, this remaining corpse posed no further threat, while those blood vein residues hid in the nearby mountains and forests, waiting to recover.

However, this still did not escape his perception; as long as he wished, he could completely retrieve those blood vein residues.

After all, though the method those people used was strange, it still left traces to follow; it was not traceless.

'Hmph! Mere petty tricks!'

Jiang Tian gave a cold sneer, and killing intent flared in his eyes.

Although Lu Yuan has fled, this mountain forest still harbors some hidden power he left behind.

That power is the strange force contained within the blood vein residue.

……

On Lu Yuan's side, after a struggle and resistance, he eventually collapsed on the slope of a certain cliff.

Although he was in a sorry state, even his face covered in blood, he ultimately preserved his life.

He painfully pushed himself up, swayed for a moment, barely regained some willpower, and, gritting his teeth, pulled out a cyan jade box from his waist.

Inside the jade box lay a crystal-clear pill, flashing with strange spiritual light, a crimson red elixir.

'Phew, that was close!'

Lu Yuan slowly exhaled a muffled breath, gritted his teeth and cursed lowly, his right hand trembling as he took out the pill, intending to stuff it into his mouth.

But the next moment, an aberration suddenly arose! A buzz—visible ripple of spiritual power surged out from the jade bottle, startling Lu Yuan.

'This is… a blood vein spirit pill!'

Lu Yuan looked up, his face involuntarily stiffening! He saw a black-clad martial artist standing in midair, coldly staring at him, killing intent surging in his eyes—'Hiss!'

Lu Yuan sucked in a cold breath, his whole face turning deathly pale as sweat poured down his forehead!

He never expected that, at this moment, Jiang Tian would rush here.

He also never expected that, upon appearing, the other party would immediately reveal a ferocious demeanor, clearly harboring ill intent.

'Not good!'

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, his face drastically changed.

'Hahaha! You finally showed up!'

Jiang Tian coldly swept his gaze over Lu Yuan, a chill killing intent flickering in his eyes.

If Lu Yuan didn't launch a sneak attack, he wouldn't have revealed himself so rashly.

Although his strength was formidable, he had only just stepped into this new realm not long ago; while he could easily suppress ordinary martial artists, facing Lu Yuan, an elder of the Cangyun Sect, he held hardly any advantage—indeed, he might even face great danger.

After all, his opponent was a genuine peak Chongyang Realm powerhouse, and among peak Chongyang Realm martial artists, his combat ability was also quite formidable.

It was precisely out of these considerations that he decided to strike first.

Otherwise, if he waited for the opponent to stabilize his injuries, even with his formidable strength, he might not gain much of an advantage.

'Since you've come, I'll give you a gift!'

'Huh?'

Jiang Tian frowned upon hearing that, feeling very strange.

At this moment, shouldn't the opponent be fleeing in panic? How could he still have the mind to give him a gift? Various guesses flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt as if he were being toyed with, instantly flying into a rage.

'Hmph! You despicable, shameless junior, do you think you can defeat me with such tricks? Dream on!'

Jiang Tian shouted angrily, his right fist lashing out through the air; amid a piercing shriek, a blinding burst of purple light surged forth, sweeping toward the black-robed martial artist.

At the same time, his figure shot forward, lunging straight for the blood vein residue beside the jade box.

This thing contains an evil blood vein aura; if it fell into someone else's hands, it would surely cause considerable influence.

But Lu Yuan, after all, possesses heaven-defying strength—how could he allow him to easily succeed in snatching it?

'Want to snatch my treasure? Fat chance!'

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed as he shouted angrily.

Before his words even finished, he waved his right arm, lifting the jade box into the air, then shifted his body to retreat.

Yet he was still half a step slow; after flying a few zhang, Jiang Tian seized him in one grab.

Bang! In a muffled explosion, Jiang Tian clenched his five fingers into a fist and slammed it hard into his chest.

Crack… Wah!

Accompanied by a miserable groan, Lu Yuan's sternum caved in and blood spurted out.

'Cough…—puff!'

Lu Yuan spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood while looking up, his eyes twitching violently, his heart shaken.

"Who, who exactly are you?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"Who am I? Heh, I already told you, my surname is Jiang and given name Tian!" Jiang Tian shook his head with a cold smile, the killing intent in his eyes turning even icier.

He already had a deep grudge against the Lu Family, and with tonight's events, he now wished to exterminate the Lu Family root and branch, to eliminate future trouble!

"Damn it! You're really Jiang Tian?"

Upon hearing that, Lu Yuan's face changed, a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes, and his thoughts churned uncontrollably.

"Exactly!" Jiang Tian gave an arrogant smile and nodded, acknowledging his identity.

"Jiang Tian, I never expected that the proud genius of the younger generation of Canglanguo would fall to this state! Humph, you're truly pitiful!"

Hearing Jiang Tian's answer, Lu Yuan's expression relaxed slightly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph!" Jiang Tian gave a cold smile, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

"You think that guarantees your victory? I tell you, you're overthinking it!"

The words rang out, Lu Yuan's face suddenly changed! He suddenly realized he seemed to have made a mistake! This young man's cultivation talent was astonishing, his strength overwhelmingly powerful, yet his conduct resembled that of some martial arts clan disciples he had once seen.

Or perhaps he resembled the genius Jiang Tian who had perished in these mountains years ago! (End of chapter)

Or rather, it's very similar to that genius Jiang Tian who fell in these mountains and wilderness a few years ago! (End of chapter)
