Medical Sage

Boom!

The vast, surging power packed the sky full, carrying a mountainous weight as it pressed down toward Golden Soul, whose face was filled with terror and had gone deathly pale.

”Hm?”

The eyes of the other two of the Five Great Champions suddenly narrowed in delighted surprise; they realized the pressure on their bodies had actually lessened… then they saw each other unleash self-harming secret techniques and frantically flee the battlefield without even looking back!

Seeing this, everyone was slightly stunned, but then, inexplicably, felt it was only natural.

They looked at the mysterious expert in the sky, thoughtful—had he reached his limit?

Well, unless he was an ultra-powerful existence at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, after fighting so fiercely for so long, there had to be an upper limit.

”Ah…”

Just then, a miserable scream rang out, and everyone’s bodies stiffened violently. That terrifying power crushed down on Jin Hun’s entire body and finally, it completely blew his body apart!

”Dead? Really dead…” The crowd couldn’t help having their pupils contract, their whole bodies going ice-cold, utterly shaken.

The death of a Peak Powerhouse of the Third Heavenly Layer of Third-Level Demonic Beast—this was no joke.

A battle like this, such losses, such slaughter—something like this hadn’t appeared for many, many years.

After all, a peak expert of the Third Heavenly Layer of Third-Level Demonic Beast was only a bit weaker than an ordinary expert at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm… and existences at that level, even among the four top-tier forces in Ghost Wolf City, enjoyed supreme status and honor.

If an ordinary force could possess someone of that level, they could at least mix in Ghost Wolf City as a ”second-rate” power!

Yet at this moment, such a figure, such a powerhouse, had actually died in front of their eyes!?

”Today’s spectacle really is…”

After a long while, someone finally couldn’t help letting out a long breath. They had at last accepted the fact that a master like Golden Soul had fallen. So it turned out that as long as such experts faced death, they were just as fragile—when it was time to die, they just died.

Moreover, they had originally thought today was just a small scene, that at most people at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm like Huang Lie and Qiu Shilie would appear…

But who would have thought the subsequent developments would be so shocking, so fast!

In the blink of an eye, Golden Soul, dead! Huang Lie, dead!

Even Yun Ruyue Fairy, the granddaughter of Yun Zhen Pill King, had actually been killed? If this were to spread back, if it reached the ears of Yunzhen Pill King of Ghost Wolf City, things would probably turn the world upside down, right?

No one would underestimate the influence of an Alchemist, much less when that Alchemist was a Fifth Grade Low Grade Pill King of Ghost Wolf City!

”We’ve had enough of the show. It’s about time for everyone to disperse, no?” At this moment, that Dark Demon Tower expert in the sky spoke faintly, and everyone instantly went quiet like cicadas in winter.

Immediately after, all those onlookers vanished in an instant without a trace.

Since that person had spoken, would they dare not leave?

After all, anyone capable of causing such a terrifying scene was definitely not someone they could provoke or resist! The other party was a true peerless expert.

Once the onlookers had quickly departed, the slightly injured Right Protector of Black Wind Gorge, Jun She, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. Looking at that mysterious Dark Demon Tower expert, he slowly spoke.

”May I ask, sir, who are you?” He didn’t know why, but he kept feeling a very familiar sensation coming from the other party.

However, this familiarity was something he did not dare confirm or believe.

Yet upon hearing this, that mysterious Dark Demon Tower expert didn’t answer. His calm gaze quietly rested on Jun She. That kind of silence made everyone feel a chill rise from their hearts, their hair standing on end.

After all, it was under this very gaze that Golden Soul, who was stronger than Jun She, had died just now!

So how could they not be filled with dread?

However, the mysterious Dark Demon Tower expert did not make another move. Instead, he put away the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl whose master had died, then turned his eyes to Chen Fei and said faintly, ”All of you, come with me.”

With that said, he descended from the sky to the ground and walked toward a street corner not far away.

”All of you?” The crowd was taken aback at his words, then exchanged glances. After hesitating for a while, they still chose to follow.

If the other party truly wanted to attack them, with their strength, they couldn’t resist anyway, so it made no difference—there was nothing worth worrying about. Life and death were left to fate.

A moment later, they arrived at a restaurant that had long since been deserted.

Suddenly, the mysterious Dark Demon Tower expert raised his hand and removed the Dark Demon Mask from his face, revealing a countenance everyone was extremely familiar with. At the same time, his body began crackling and swelling in size.

”Great Chief!?” Everyone’s pupils shrank, their expressions trembling. They couldn’t believe the familiar face that appeared before them.

Because this mysterious Dark Demon Tower expert was actually their Great Chief of Black Wind Gorge—Batian?

But—but why could he possess such terrifying strength?

By rights, shouldn’t his strength only be just a notch stronger than that of Left Protector of Golden Soul?

But now…

Everyone’s expression went blank, and they all fell silent.

The scene before their eyes was something they needed time to digest.

”Greetings, Senior.” Chen Fei, on the contrary, didn’t find it all that unexpected. His eyes merely narrowed slightly, then he calmly cupped his hands toward the other party and said, ”Many thanks for your righteous aid, Senior. This junior Chen Fei thanks you first.”

”Your life and death have nothing to do with me, and I didn’t act out of righteousness.” Batian only gave a cold shake of his head at those words. He looked at Chen Fei and said indifferently, ”I heard from Cang Kun that you can cure the hidden ailment in my body?”

At that, everyone present showed a flash of surprise in their eyes! When they looked at Chen Fei again, their gazes were all tinged with doubt and shock. This brat can cure the Great Chief Batian’s hidden ailment?

They all knew that even some Fourth Grade High Grade Alchemists were helpless against that terrifying sequela; and him? He really… on what basis could he pull that off!?

”Let me take a look at your physical condition first?” Chen Fei didn’t answer immediately. He frowned slightly at the other party’s pale face and spoke.

”Fine.” This time Batian was very straightforward, with no intention of refusing at all.

Chen Fei walked up and placed his hand on the other’s wrist. Threads of Spiritual Energy flowed directly through the pulse into Batian’s body, examining Batian’s current physical condition.

”What kind of technique is that?” Seeing Chen Fei’s strange method of examination, everyone couldn’t help being slightly stunned.

They had never seen this kind of method before.

”Did you just take some Pill with very strong aftereffects?” At this moment, Chen Fei had already raised his head, frowning as he looked at Batian and spoke.

”Mm, I just took a Dark Demon Blood Ignition Pill.” Batian nodded blandly and said.

”Dark Demon Blood Ignition Pill?” At those words, Green Vulture, Jun She, and Qing Shan all sharply narrowed their eyes, their tone carrying a kind of shock and tremor.

The Dark Demon Blood Ignition Pill—they didn’t know what grade it was, but they did know it was a very terrifying Pill, the signature of the upper echelon of the Dark Demon Tower!

Once you swallowed a Dark Demon Blood Ignition Pill, it was said that even a Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert could, within half a stick of incense, explosively increase their strength by nearly a fold… Wait, could it be?

At that thought, Green Vulture, Jun She, and the others suddenly stared fixedly at Batian with shocked eyes, as if they had guessed something.

”Great Chief, are you really a man of the Dark Demon Tower?” Jun She asked with a complicated expression.

The Dark Demon Blood Ignition Pill was the hallmark of the Dark Demon Tower and also their bottom-of-the-chest treasure! Unless one was truly a trusted high-level member of the Dark Demon Tower, it was absolutely impossible to obtain such a Pill.

Batian did not answer that, merely said blandly, ”If I hadn’t taken this Dark Demon Blood Ignition Pill, I wouldn’t have been confident of dealing with Golden Soul and that Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl at the same time. And I also didn’t want them to guess it was me.”

At those words, Jun She, Green Vulture, and the others trembled slightly and all fell silent.

Because obviously, although Batian hadn’t stated it outright, from the side he had already admitted it… He really was a man of the Dark Demon Tower.

”What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you could cure my hidden ailment? Why aren’t you talking now?” Batian spoke again coldly, his calm gaze landing on Chen Fei, his tone somewhat gloomy.

The reason he had made a move was because Chen Fei had previously sent Cang Kun to find him, saying he could cure the hidden ailment on his body, and in exchange, he wanted Batian to act!

But if Chen Fei were to say now that he couldn’t do it… he wouldn’t mind letting the other party have a taste of what hell was, what true despair felt like.

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly at those words, but when he remembered that he was the one who had initiated this deal, he forcibly pressed down the irritation in his heart.

Then he met Batian’s gaze and said faintly, ”I can, but you’ll have to prepare all the materials yourself. Also, that bowl you must give to me. In addition, I need to extract some of your bloodline…”

”Are you joking?” Before Chen Fei finished, Batian’s expression suddenly turned icy. He looked at Chen Fei and said coldly, ”I risked completely offending Yun Zhen and the Yan Zhen Sect to get that Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, and now you want me to hand it over to you. Do you think that’s possible?”

At this point he paused slightly, then his expression grew even colder as he said, ”And my bloodline? You mean the Bloodline of Dominating Heaven Demon Ape? That is my lifeblood. Are you sure you really want to take it?”

The atmosphere instantly grew sharp and frozen. Batian stared coldly at Chen Fei, as if icy chill was flowing out from those indifferent pupils of his, extremely unfriendly.

”Allow me to correct you on two points. First, I never told you to kill anyone—that seems to have been your own decision, no? Second, using a piece of the most trash Magical Treasure to buy your life, isn’t that worth it?” Chen Fei’s expression didn’t change as he spoke faintly.

”Buy my life? What do you mean?” Batian’s gaze tightened as he asked.

”Try using your own strength again right now.” Chen Fei glanced at him and said blandly.

Batian’s eyes flickered, but he still did as told. A terrifying strand of power surged out of his body… but immediately afterward, his expression changed drastically, and he opened his mouth, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood in a row.

”What’s going on? Great Chief Batian, are you all right?” Jun She, Green Vulture, and the others all changed color in shock, looking nervously at the blood-spitting Batian.

At this moment, Batian’s face also grew somewhat grave. His gaze locked tightly onto Chen Fei as he took a deep breath and said slowly, ”Can you tell me what’s going on? Why did it become like this!?”

”The Pill you took is poison.”

Chen Fei spoke succinctly, looking at him calmly as he said, ”I don’t know who refined that Pill, but even if you gave such a Pill to a normal person, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to withstand it! As for you, your body has long been riddled with accumulated hidden injuries and wounds… You understand the saying about the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, right?”

At these words, everyone present looked at one another, their faces filled with shock.

Put that way, didn’t it mean Batian’s body could no longer hold up?

Batian also fell silent at that.
