Chapter 134: Chapter 132: Slaughter Heaven Pill (Two Updates)_1
The man in white furrowed his brows when he saw Fang Ren swallow the pill.
This pill was not any orthodox pill, but rather a type that had long been banned.
The main reason was that this pill was a defective product, although it could forcibly enhance the user by two minor realms within a short period, after use, sixty percent of the body's flesh and blood would burst! There was no recorded instance of anyone surviving after taking this pill!
Moreover, this pill could only increase the realm of practitioners below the Azure Sky Realm. For those above the Azure Sky Realm, it was completely ineffective, with only side effects to show for it.
Buzz!
Fang Ren's aura became even more violent in an instant, his blood vessels began to bulge, and wrinkles crept out from the corners of his eyes, making his eyes even more terrifying than those of the test subjects.
His strength at the peak of the Ruoshui Realm instantly increased by two minor realms, taking him to the mid-stage of the Chongshan Realm!
"Damn, this is young and reckless! This isn't just risking his life anymore!"
"Where did this Exploding Pill come from! We can't save him now! Quickly deal with the enemy in front of us and retreat to the back!"
...
"Come on!"
Fang Ren let out a roar, holding the tail end of the sickle in his hand, the sickle blade flipped, pressed behind him, and he shot toward the man in white at a swift pace.
"Damn it! Go blow yourself up! Don't drag me into it!"
The man in white turned to flee immediately, casting his cultivation technique toward the other Nightfall members, instantly killing two of them.
Fang Ren wasn't about to let him escape, his weapons' auras flew forward, blocking the man in white's path of retreat.
"Blade Dance!"
When Fang Ren's figure got within about ten meters of the man in white, he bellowed, and his sickle became a rapidly spinning blade, slashing towards the man in white! Blood-colored lights continued to fly off of it towards the man in white's limbs!
Seeing all sorts of weapon auras blocking his way out, the man in white immediately activated his protective True Qi for defense, condensing another blue mark in his hand.
Bang!
Just as the sickle struck the protective True Qi, the man in white could not have imagined that with his full defense activated at the peak of the Xianyun Realm, it would be so easily shattered by the tip of the sickle blade!
"Ice Palm!"
The man in white immediately slapped out a twenty-meter-wide ice palm mark, trying to blow the sickle away with it.
Crack—
However, as soon as the Ice Palm materialized, it was split in half by the sickle.
"Die!"
Fang Ren's figure had already reached two meters from the man in white, and catching the spinning Blood Sickle, he made a backhanded swipe, with the sickle's handle striking the man in white's head, sending him flipping through the air.
While the man in white's brain buzzed, Fang Ren's sickle had already hooked onto his waist.
"It's over!"
The man in white tried to resist further, but before he could muster his True Qi, Fang Ren's sickle had already fiercely retracted, cutting through his entire body.
Blood and innards spilled everywhere, and a peak Xianyun Realm powerhouse was instantly slain!
"Damn it, big brother, this isn't worth it!"
The cursing man reached Fang Ren's side and, after finishing off the man in white whose body was severed but head still alive, he looked at Fang Ren with horror.
Fang Ren said nothing, his sickle suddenly began to evolve again. The originally blood-lit tip, extending a pattern, suddenly sprouted another red line.
This pattern seemed to enhance the weapon's solidity. With each new line, Fang Ren felt the sickle becoming more spirited, and he could clearly feel the sickle's weight increased, but once in battle, it somehow became very light.
Boom—
Suddenly, an explosion rang out in the sky. Jian Qi'er was seen being knocked flying by a giant ice pillar in the middle-level war zone, her long sword broken, and her body covered in blood.
Seeing those three Azure Sky Realm strongmen from the high-level war zone about to fly over here, and the Nightfall members nearby all became agitated.
"You guys hurry up and help Qi'er! We can't let those three bastards get over here!"
"No! It's too late!"
Just then, two of the Azure Sky Realm members of the Tianjiang Investigation Group went to chase Jian Qi'er, while one was flying towards this middle-level war zone.
As Jian Qi'er and the Nightfall members here seemed doomed, suddenly, a tremendous silver light wave flew out from the central high-level war zone.
The light wave was immense, reaching a hundred meters! It arrived almost in the blink of an eye, instantly slicing the two members of the Tianjiang Investigation Group chasing Jian Qi'er in half. Their bodies split in the air and then smashed into the ground, blasting a giant crater over a hundred meters wide in the earth!
Countless people were blown into the sky, and even Jian Qi'er nearby was knocked over to this side by the force.
The Nightfall members, upon seeing this, were overjoyed, their morale soaring.
"It's Brother Li's blade qi!"
"Quick, save Qi'er! We'll hold off this Azure Sky Realm guy!"
...
Fang Ren, watching the power of the blade qi that came their way, estimated that its owner was likely at the peak of the Azure Sky or possibly a powerful practitioner of the Yingyue Realm!
"A casual swing like this, the realm of a true master is truly enviable!"
The sight inflamed Fang Ren's blood, and he immediately took up his sickle, charging toward the last enemy at the early stages of the Azure Sky Realm.
"A bunch of ants!"
That early-stage Azure Sky Realm member of the Investigation Group was also slaughtering the Nightfall members in the middle level like a madman, constantly roaring, "Had it not been for that blade! All you trash would be dead!"
"Big brother, what do we do! The opponent is at the Azure Sky Realm! A single touch could kill us!" the cursing man, who had been following Fang Ren, said with a face full of terror.
He was still only a Practitioner at the Peak of the Yuanxin Realm; that he'd managed to follow Fang Ren from the outskirts to the middle-level was already a miracle. Now facing an expert in the Early Stage of the Azure Sky Realm, he must be collapsing inside.
"Chicken my ass!"
Fang Ren roared in fury, his Blood Sickle in hand suddenly turning into afterimages, splitting and transforming in the air, and in less than half a second, the original Blood Sickle had multiplied into ten!
This was an ability he had acquired when his weapon evolved just then.
Seeing ten Blood Sickles flying towards him, the member of the Tianjiang Investigation Group exploded with True Qi, slapping towards the ten sickles.
Bang!
In an instant, the ten Blood Sickles were sent flying, offering no resistance whatsoever.
The Azure Sky Realm was ultimately the Azure Sky Realm; the power of one palm was simply not something the Chongshan Realm could contest, let alone the fact there was also a Xianyun Realm in between! And above the Azure Sky Realm was the Yingyue Realm!
That was nearly the strength of certain great clan members within Tianjiang!
"It's you, you damn ant!"
Seeing Fang Ren, the man from the Azure Sky Realm was instantly furious and bolted towards him, leaving the group of people beside him behind.
"Withdraw quickly! You'll die!"
Jian Qi'er, who had been blasted over, immediately picked up a broken long sword and rushed towards Fang Ren's direction.
At this moment, Fang Ren was utterly deaf to the words of those around him. He caught a Blood Sickle that flew towards him and then, wielding the other nine sickles, he charged at the man from the Azure Sky Realm.
"All Weapons to Extremity!"
Countless weapon auras kept slamming into the man's protective True Qi but caused no substantial damage.
"Turning Cloud Palm!"
The man's Wind Attribute burst forth, gathering the surrounding air into the palm of his hand, followed by a terrifying hundred-meter air palm that shredded the earth and lunged at Fang Ren!
But Fang Ren didn't dodge at all; as long as his heart still existed, he essentially wouldn't die! Moreover, he had temporarily reached the Mid-Stage of the Chongshan Realm, enough to withstand a blow without it being fatal.
Fang Ren, with the Blood Sickle in his hand, smashed into the Turning Cloud Palm, and the nine Blood Sickles swirling around his body tightly shielded him.
Bang —
With a blast, the Blood Sickle in Fang Ren's hand was blown away and he himself was pushed continuously by the Turning Cloud Palm, swiftly crashing into Jian Qi'er beside him.
"Blade Dance!"
Jian Qi'er quickly pulled Fang Ren down from the impact of the Turning Cloud Palm, clutching the broken sword, her whole body's silver aura whirling chaotically. With a slash, hundreds of silvery True Qi turned into sabre intent, cutting through the oncoming Turning Cloud Palm.
Hum —
However, she was severely injured and couldn't exert her original strength. The power of Turning Cloud Palm directly dispelled her sabre intent and hit her body.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Jian Qi'er's mouth as she was hurtled backward at high speed.
Fang Ren casually caught her as she flew backward and threw her among the Nightfall Members, then turned around and raised his sickle to charge again.
"Qi'er! How are you?"
A female member, holding the bloodied Jian Qi'er, panicked.
Jian Qi'er's shoulder was mangled, and there was an indent in her abdomen as she kept coughing up blood.
Struggling to stand up, Jian Qi'er pointed towards Fang Ren and shouted, "Go save him, he's our Alchemist... he can't die! Cough cough cough..."
"What! He's that genius Alchemist!?" the female member exclaimed, immediately turning to shout, "Keep him protected! He's our Alchemist!"
"What! Him!?"
"Damn it! I thought I'd never seen this guy before! Get over there! Even if it costs you your life, you must protect him!"
"Fuck! Weren't we told that our Alchemist only knew Alchemy? How the hell is he more badass than us!"
"Move out!"
...
In an instant, hundreds of Nightfall Members set aside their opponents and turned to charge at the man from the Azure Sky Realm attacking Fang Ren.
"Holy shit! Big bro, are you fucking kidding me!?" The man who had been following Fang Ren and cursing was stunned when he heard the news and hastily ran to pull Fang Ren away: "Let's fight on the outskirts, refine some pills, and call it a day! What the hell are you doing!"
Fang Ren, seeing another palm strike coming from the Azure Sky Realm man, suddenly wore an even more excited smile on his face.
Just as the man from the Azure Sky Realm made his move, there was a blast from the Pill Furnace inside Fang Ren's Space Ring, signaling that his 230 million-priced pill was ready!
With a shift in his Divine Sense, a purple pill flew out from his Space Ring directly into his mouth.
Hum —
An endless wave of light spread out, and the world he saw suddenly paused for a moment.
Slaughter Heaven Pill!
For half an hour, meridians enter an expanded state! Able to control a small amount of Heaven and Earth's Qi for personal use! True Qi is strengthened tenfold!
It's like temporarily having Liu Qianqian's Yuanxin Sacred Body, but much stronger.
The effect is extremely powerful, but the price is also devastating: after half an hour, all meridians will die off! Permanently lose Cultivation Ability!
Exploding Pills combined with Slaughter Heaven Pills, even with an Asura Body, might not be able to endure it!
But he was betting that he could break through another level in a short time.
If he wins, he'll directly enter the Early Stage of the Chongshan Realm and suppress the side effects brought by the Exploding Pills.
If he loses, probably only his bones and heart would remain, waiting for the Nine Techniques of Lethal Combat's third layer and Asura Physique to reconstruct his flesh.
