Chapter 239: Chapter 102 [Actually, I’m Pretty Awesome, Right?...] (11000 words)_6

At the end, Chen Yan tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Did I calculate wrong?"

The black energy, condensed on the ceiling in silence, suddenly shouted: "Kid! Let me possess you temporarily! You are a cultivator with Primordial Qi Entering the Body – someone with Tao Practice can barely host me for a short time!"

Chen Yan stood up again, smiling: "Do you think I’ll agree to that?"

"You!!"

The black energy writhed frantically, then tried to speak in a calm tone: "I only need to possess you for two hours! I can swear to the Heavenly Dao, as long as you help me this time, I won’t hold any grudges and will never harm you in the future!

I can even teach you the supreme Cultivation Technique! Teach you ways to steal life’s fortune! And also, all the wealth accumulated by Zhong Hongliang over the years can be yours! You will live in riches for the rest of your life!! I only need two hours!! Two hours!!!!"

Chen Yan shook his head: "Like I said, do you think I’ll agree?"

"Then we die together!! Before I die, I’ll take you with me!!"

The black energy erupted in anger, fiercely rushing towards Chen Yan!

Chen Yan elbowed the window behind him, shattering the glass with a crash! With a mocking smile on his face, Chen Yan flipped mid-air, giving the onrushing black energy the middle finger, then he flipped out of the window!

In mid-air, he somersaulted, finally landing on the ground floor!

Even with his body nourished by Essence, making him much stronger than an ordinary person, the three-story height and his injuries still made him roll a few times on the ground to dissipate the impact, before standing up again.

Ignoring the black energy rapidly flying down from the third floor, Chen Yan cast the Escape Rune Technique and ran!

In the darkness, Chen Yan’s figure flashed by like the wind, with the black energy relentlessly chasing behind.

After a few minutes, Chen Yan noticed the black energy clearly weakening; both its oppressive aura and the visible scale had significantly diminished.

The black energy, after chasing Chen Yan for so long, suddenly stopped, then sharply turned and flew towards the south.

Huh?

Chen Yan’s heart stirred, yet he continued to chase after it. The roles of pursuer and pursued instantly reversed!

Careful not to chase too closely, he maintained at least a ten-meter distance behind the black energy, ready to escape at any moment. Moreover, the crafty guy kept shooting Finger Swords at the black energy now and then.

The black energy, hit several times, roared angrily and turned to pounce on Chen Yan a few times, only for Chen Yan to immediately use the Escape Rune Technique to flee without hesitation!

After a while, with the black energy escaping again, Chen Yan would once more turn into the pursuer...

After the chase reversed two or three times, the black energy stopped pursuing Chen Yan, floating southward instead, continuously roaring in anger:

"I have let you go! Just leave me alone! From now on, we’ll go our separate ways!!"

"Kid, stop following me! Or I’ll drag you down with me!!"

"Bastard, bastard!!"

"Kid... let’s negotiate, stop following me... name your condition..."

"If you keep following me, I will fight you to the death!!"

"...Stop pestering me!!! Get lost! Get lost!!!"

Ignoring the furious howls, pleading, or anger of the black energy, Chen Yan stayed silent, closely following it and occasionally shooting Finger Swords to harass it.

Gradually, the black energy grew weaker and smaller...

Seeing it suddenly stop, then slowly coil around a roadside tree...

Chen Yan stood at a distance, staring quietly at the now-motionless black energy, speaking slowly: "I understand now... You’re trying to return to Zhong Hongliang’s house in the south, right? You said before that you needed to possess me for two hours!

Yes, two hours... because within two hours, you could run back to Zhong Hongliang’s house. There must be something there for you to possess, right? A Magical Artifact? Or some special treasure?"

The black energy trembled, its voice growing weaker: "Cunning... cunning kid... what school or sect raised such a deceitful, slippery disciple like you..."

As its voice weakened, Chen Yan took two steps back.

The black energy roared abruptly: "Even now, you won’t drop your guard? You won’t come any closer?"

Chen Yan shook his head seriously: "Only a completely dead enemy is a safe enemy."

The black energy roared unwillingly: "Are you not tempted by the conditions I offered?! I can truly give you many, many benefits!

Zhong Hongliang was originally just a common swindler, without the slightest Mana, but after meeting me, he became a powerhouse in Port City’s Mystical Art Realm! I enabled him to attain the way, mastering various techniques...

And, in over ten years, he accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth!

Kid, aren’t you tempted by all this?"

Chen Yan stayed silent, just staring quietly at the black energy.

"Why... why... why aren’t you tempted..."

Watching the black energy gradually fading, getting thinner and thinner, still clinging desperately to the tree, but eventually dissipating layer by layer...

"Why... aren’t you tempted..."

"Heavenly Dao is unfair... Heaven is unfair! With such great talent, why can’t I break through to Celestial Being, why did I fail the tribulation, losing my physical body and turning into a Ghost Cultivator... Heaven is unfair..."
