Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Everything else was a mystery; neither he nor Chika knew anything about it.

"You'd better watch out for that girl." Qianjida's lips curled into a slightly wicked smile. "That girl is an absolute monster."

Chapter 473: The Twilight Race

"Monster? What are you talking about!?"

Isaac stood up angrily; he would not allow anyone to slander Erica like that.

Even though Erica doesn't talk much, she really cares about him like an older sister. Now that someone is calling her a monster in front of him, Isaac, who is usually quite good-tempered, can't sit still any longer.

“Yes, Chijida,” Coco chimed in, “you’re definitely going a bit too far with what you’re saying.”

"Haha, sorry, sorry." Qianjida waved her hand with a laugh, but there was no apology in her eyes. "Do you know about the 'Twilight Race'?"

"Twilight race?" Isaac was completely unfamiliar with the name.

Coco then said, "The Twilight Race originated from victims of a drug developed by the military of a certain country. Because the effects of this drug are hereditary, most of the descendants of the Twilight Race are also Twilight Race. Due to the effects of the drug, the average lifespan of the Twilight Race is very low, which is why they are called the 'Twilight Race'."

The term "Twilight Race" is not well-known to the general public; at least, you won't find it anywhere with relevant information.

"what?"

Isaac immediately realized what was going on and looked at the two of them in disbelief: "So Erica will die young?"

He refused to believe it was true.

Erika, who had always been by his side, was found to have a short lifespan.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Qianjida laughed. “The most important point is that their bodies have been strengthened, and their physical abilities are extremely strong. Running on walls and leaping across rooftops is a piece of cake, and the more powerful ones can even shatter walls with a single punch.”

Isaac recalled the time Erica punched through a car's windshield to teach a driver who had nearly hit her a lesson.

"It seems that monster really did make a move before."

"Don't call her a monster!"

Click.

The sound of a key turning came from the doorway.

While Chijida and Isaac were arguing, Erica, the center of their conversation, had already returned home from school.

Everyone turned to look at the person in question.

"What happened?" Erica looked at everyone expressionlessly, wondering why they were all staring at her.

“Oh ho ho, we were just talking about you.” Chijida laughed.

"What are you talking about me about?"

"As for talking about your dangerousness, I just told little Isaac your true identity!"

"What!?"

Erica's previously indifferent expression suddenly turned flustered.

What she least wanted was for Isaac to know that he was a Twilight Race.

Chijita continued, "A monster like you might hurt him with your own hands someday..."

"No way!"

"Shut up!"

Isaac couldn't sit still any longer and ran forward to block the way for Chijida and Erica.

"Erica is my sister and my family. She would never hurt me!"

“Oh? Is that so?” Qianjida ignored Isaac’s words and continued, “There was also a Twilight race in my old unit. We trusted him and treated him as a teammate. But during the war in Afghanistan, most of our entire squad was killed by him.”

"He is him, Erica is absolutely different from him!"

What evidence do you have?

"..."

Erica glared at the stern-faced Chijida and demanded sharply, "What exactly do you want?"

"Fight me."

At this moment, Coco spoke up: "Stop, Qianjida. This is Mr. Yao's place. It would be very disadvantageous for us to fight here."

Chijida remained silent, calmly watching Erica and awaiting her response.

“I couldn’t ask for more,” Erica said.

"Huh?"

Isaac never expected things to turn out this way.

……

In the courtyard, Erica, with a serious expression, and Chijita, with a smile, stood facing each other, the air thick with a chilling atmosphere.

Unable to stand the atmosphere, Isaac could only say, "Um, everyone, let's stop here and not go too far."

Erica nodded, but Chijida seemed not to hear her.

Swish!

After a moment of silence, the two charged at each other.

They trembled together with just their fists and feet. As a retired soldier, Chijida attacked Erica's vital parts with every move filled with murderous intent.

Although Erika wasn't particularly skilled in combat, she dodged every move with her superhuman physical abilities and seized the opportunity to punch her in the abdomen.

"As expected of the Twilight Race, they are still so powerful even without any combat experience." Chijita winced in pain, but still smiled and continued to attack Erica.

This time, Erica did not choose to attack. Instead, she took a step back to create distance, and then instantly moved behind her and grabbed her neck with her arm.

"Well……"

"Just admit defeat," Erica said in a low voice.

"Hahaha, looks like I've lost." Qianjida laughed, then her eyes instantly turned fierce. "Yeah, right!"

She quickly reached deep into her clothes, pulled out a knife, and stabbed Erica in the waist.

"!"

This scene startled everyone. Erica reacted immediately, letting go of Chijta and jumping back to dodge the knife. However, the blade had already cut her skin, and blood stained her clothes red.

"Stop! That's fouling!" Isaac rushed in front of Chijida to block her.

"Kid, there's no such thing as fouls on the battlefield."

As she spoke, she bypassed Isaac and continued slashing at Erica.

Erica, alerted by the cut, launched a full-scale attack, but still didn't kill, seemingly because of Isaac's earlier words.

Suddenly, Chijita crouched down and swept her leg, tripping Erika and then pinning her down the moment she hit the ground.

"General, Miss Twilight Race." He said, picking up his knife and preparing to stab her.

However, before her knife could fall, Isaac was still holding onto the hand that held the knife tightly from behind.

"Stop it right now."

"Don't stop me, good boy." Chijita turned around to push Isaac away, but accidentally bumped his elbow into him.

Unfortunately, the elbow struck Isaac right in the left eye.

"Oh? Sorry, sorry, are you alright?"

Realizing that she might have made a mistake, Chijida got up from Erica.

Just as I was about to go check on Isaac, every hair on my body started standing on end.

As a former soldier, she instantly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis and began to break out in a cold sweat.

"No way..." she said with a wry smile.

Run! Run! Run!

otherwise……

I'll die!!

Isaac didn't cry out in pain, but walked towards her step by step. The eerie smile on his lips sent chills down her spine.

Chapter 474: Isaac: You can pay less.

"Um... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to," Chijita said as she backed away.

Every cell in her body was sending out warnings, urging her to leave this place immediately.

Although Isaac in front of her was only a twelve-year-old child, she always felt a strong sense of danger.

"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt much," Isaac said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great! Hahahaha."

“Yeah, hahahahahaha.” Isaac laughed along.

His body then disappeared from the spot.

Bang!

"puff!!"

Qianjida felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

Isaac threw a punch in an instant, and the punch landed on her stomach, making her feel like she might have been hit by a big truck.

"If you like playing so much, I'll play with you."

After saying that, he kicked her in the head, sending her flying in an arc.

Coco, who was also standing in the yard, was stunned.

She didn't know what had made the usually shy and timid Isaac suddenly become so brutal.

Erika was equally surprised, but she immediately recalled the scene at the concert and realized that this might be another 'relapse'.

Chijida was being beaten by Isaac, but Isaac wasn't using his full strength at all.

“Hey, woman,” Isaac laughed, “try fighting back, knife or gun.”
