Strongest Offline Cultivation

Chapter 67

“Bastard, you dare to collude with monsters. You will die at the hands of humans.” The man in the black robe cursed him in a classic manner.

Fu Chen shook his head and said “I’m sorry but I just realized that I can’t die alone. So, I will kill my enemies before they can kill me.”

“Tch! You are just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. You dare brag.” At this moment, his body suddenly burst out into powerful flames. These flames channeled powerful energy through his body.

“Since I am going to die, I will take you down with me.” The man grabbed his arrow and stabbed Fu Chen. But, Fu Chen slammed his hand from the right and forcefully dodge the arrow.

Bang!

He raised his foot and smacked the face of that man. If he had stood up, he could’ve dodged it but while sitting, he didn’t have any chance.

“Damn you!” The man shouted when his face was hit by someone’s foot. He felt humiliated. He instantly condensed a massive amount of energy into his arrow and stabbed forward.

Unfortunately, Fu Chen was using the system. Even though his movements were fast, Fu Chen dodged it and finally took out a sword.

Crack!

At the same time, the man suddenly cracked a stone and released the dark energy. When he found that he couldn’t defeat Fu Chen even after burning his own lifespan, he decided to curse him.

The dark energy struck Fu Chen’s forehead and formed a seal in it. At the same time, Fu Chen’s sword sliced his neck. The blood splattered on his clothes but he didn’t care.

‘Why would hate someone so much just because they befriend monsters?’

Fu Chen asked himself. He didn’t understand the hatred between humans and monsters. It didn’t come from the past. It was something that grew out of the jealousy between the two races.

But, why is this jealousy so strong? He closed his eyes for a moment and thought.

‘If I can become the strongest person, who would be jealous of me? Humans? Monsters? Or both? If I have to choose between humans and monsters, who should I choose?’

At this moment, his heart suddenly clenched. He felt terrible pain.

“Gah!”

The next moment, he even coughed out blood. But, when he did that, he didn’t feel pain but felt relief. His lips curled as he continued to think.

“Then, why did he break it?” Fu Chen asked with slight confusion and nervousness in his eyes.

“Because of you.” Chu Yan said and then shook his head.

“No, not only because of you but also because of me. He wanted to save his friends. At that moment, you and I were greater than the oath in his heart. So, he decided to break it.”

“Friend?” Fu Chen looked at the monkey with confusion. He didn’t expect to be his friend this early. After all, they have just been together for two days before that battle.

If it was now, then he would’ve believed it without doubt but at that time? It felt a little ridiculous.

“For you, it might be confusing. After all, friendship takes time. But, for him, it only took one moment. It was when you decided to risk your life, go through all that suffering to defeat that armored man. That courage, that confidence, and that much sacrifice were enough to encourage him.” Chu Yan spoke.

Fu Chen thought for a while and asked “What about you? What do you feel about me?”

“During that battle, I feel the friendship. I just felt that you are using me and I am being used for benefits. Though I did believe you were a little sincere.” Then, he glanced at the dead man and said.

“But now, I think we are friends. Because you didn’t hesitate even a little to kill a human despite being a human. What about you?”

Hearing his words, Fu Chen bitterly smiled and said “It seems like I am the last one to recognize you two as a friend.”

Chu Yan felt unexpected. He thought Fu Chen had already accepted them as his friends.

“When I was small, I stayed with a group of wolves for a few days. Because I had no wrong intention in my mind, they didn’t kill me instead I played with the little wolves.”

“But, one day, I found that the little wolves and the mother had died. Even the father wolf had lost his eye. Was I afraid to approach them? I was but I still did it. Even though I was a human, and the people who killed his family were humans, he didn’t harm me.”

“Instead he let me stay with him for the entire day. At that moment, I made a goal in my life. I want to make humans and monsters live in peace and harmony. I know this is a foolish idea knowing the current situation but I still want to do it.”

“But, I quickly realized. Without strength, there is nothing we can do. So, I want to be the strongest person. If I can become the strongest person, I will be free to choose my enemy, my friend, and my loved ones.”

“But, now, even without being the strongest one, I realized that I can still choose my enemy, my friend, and my loved ones. So for me, you and Wu Kong are now my friends.”

Hearing his reply, Chu Yan smiled.

“You seemed very lucky. The first friend you made between monsters are the monsters with the most potential. One who has a great chance of awakening his bloodline and one who has already awakened his bloodline from birth.”

At this moment, Fu Chen’s eyes widened. He instantly looked at Wu Kong and asked.

“Wait, you mean he has already awakened the bloodline?”

Chu Yan nodded his head and said “His bloodline is really strong. It is called Golden Battle Ape. We don’t have much information about this race but it is said that all of them are battle maniacs. And, once he activates his bloodline, he loses his consciousness and becomes a tool of destruction.”

“That’s why he made an oath to never activate his bloodline.”
