Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 870 Elixir
This is a world of advanced martial arts. Martial artists do not practice internal skills, so naturally there is no such mysterious existence as Dantian. The place where Qi and blood are most concentrated is the heart. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the source of Qi and blood for martial artists.

This is also the reason why those warriors must gather their qi and blood in the heart when they self-destruct. Nearly half of the qi and blood is stored here.

The sword energy in Hong Kun's body is also nurtured in his heart. It is because of the existence of this sword energy that his heart was not shattered by the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Zhang Haoran looked at Hong Kun, whose left chest was pierced with a big hole, and tossed the heart in his hand, saying with a smug look on his face, "You still want to trick me? Dream on!
I was still one step ahead in skills, launching the killing move in advance. Now that the heart is gone, the sword energy is gone, let's see what you can do to me!"

He squeezed the still beating heart and thought to himself, "I can take this thing back and study it carefully. Maybe I can analyze something.

He looks very handsome when he spits out sword energy!

If you can learn it, it can be used as a killer weapon."

What really made him happy were the bone fragments. Each broken sternum shone with a jade-like luster. These were real jade bones.

A hole as big as a bowl was blasted in Hongkun's chest, and he collected all the broken sternum.

"Haha, if I had known Hongkun was so stupid, he would take my killing move.

I should have used the method of killing the dragon and taking him away directly!
After suffering this loss, Hongkun will definitely be more vigilant and will not have such an opportunity again.

This is really a pity!"

Hongkun was too arrogant before. He dared to withstand the fierce power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

If the Dragon Subduing Kick was launched at that time, I think the opponent would have made the same choice. After all, the Dragon Subduing Kick has no attack bonus and its explosive power is not as good as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

If he really launched the Dragon Killing Technique and restricted the power in the opponent's body, he could definitely take Hong Kun away with one move.

Killing the Dragon and seeking the Tao is not like Fighting the Dragon in the Wild, where one can only perform eighteen palm strikes in a row. That is an infinite combo, and as long as the blood is sufficient, the enemy can be continuously hit to death.

In fact, Zhang Haoran just thought about it. Even if he really had the chance, he would not use the method of killing the dragon to seek the truth.

Not to mention how much trouble kicking Hong Kun to death would cause, his main purpose this time was to advance Sword Soul.

If I kick Hongkun to death, where can I find such a suitable opponent?

When the Sword Soul advances to the sixth level, his strength will inevitably undergo a transformation. By then, wouldn't it be easy for him to take down a small Hong Kun?

Because the power of the last palm was too strong, the qi and blood that burst out were several times his own qi and blood. He failed to control the strength and blasted Hong Kun too far. For the first time, the two sides opened up a distance.

Zhang Haoran was now a little exhausted and unable to launch an attack immediately. Although the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was very great, it could still create a hole in the body of even an elite warrior with jade bones.

However, a huge amount of energy and blood is consumed, and it takes some time to recover.

This is not to say that Zhang Haoran’s recovery speed cannot keep up with the consumption. He has the system and the Origin Dao to replenish his qi and blood, so recovery is not a problem at all.

However, what is restored through the system is passive Qi and blood, which still needs to circulate in the body and leave a mark of life.

However, the speed of extracting energy from the origin is not that fast, and it cannot be recovered instantly.

Zhang Haoran had used all his strength in that combo just now, and the last palm had exhausted all his energy and blood. Now he needed to recover.

Since he had already created some distance between them, he didn't rush into launching an attack. He adjusted his condition first.

The two of them finally had a chance to catch their breath since the beginning of the battle. Hongkun was in a very miserable state at this moment, as the previous combo had completely stunned him.

He originally thought that the palm technique, which he thought was not very powerful, actually burst out with such powerful power, which made him feel incredible. Even the unique skills created by the emperor did not have such exaggerated explosive power.

Especially the power of the last palm, which was so powerful beyond imagination that it directly blew up his golden body!
This is the golden body that Hong Kun has polished for tens of thousands of years and forged with jade bones. Even if it faces the Heavenly King who has reached the peak of the eighth level, it will not be broken so easily.

But it was smashed to pieces by Zhang Haoran's palm. Hong Kun was now very lucky that the palm did not hit his head, otherwise he would be finished.

However, the bloody hole on his body now gave Hong Kun a headache. He didn't know how much vitality he would need to consume before he could recover to his peak state.

What’s even more infuriating is that he saw Zhang Haoran put away the flesh, blood and bones, and it was obvious that he was not planning to do anything good.

These new warriors are like this. As long as there is a little energy, they will not let go. They are just a bunch of poor ghosts.

Taking advantage of this rare respite, Hong Kun immediately took out a pill. The pill was shining with golden light and exuded a strong vitality. Before he even took it, just holding it in his hand made the wound on his chest show signs of healing.

The broken space around was dyed green, and it seemed that grass and trees were about to grow out of it.

This is no ordinary elixir; it is a top-grade elixir that he had obtained with great difficulty. It has a good effect even if taken by an emperor.

It is said that the life essence used to refine the elixir is condensed from demon plants with strength close to that of an emperor.

There is only one demon plant of this level in the Three Realms, and that is the Dao Tree. The life essence it produces is a treasure to the emperor, not to mention that it has been concentrated and refined into elixir.

When Zhang Haoran saw the pill, his eyes suddenly widened.

“Damn, what level of medicine is this, how can it have such a strong vitality?

It’s like a magic pill!”

This is indeed an elixir, and it is not just an ordinary elixir. It may be the highest level elixir in the three realms.

Compared with the vitality emanating from this elixir, the Lake of Life he had taken away before was just like ordinary white water.

He suspected that even the life fish in the boundary point could not compare to the vitality contained in this pill.

Seeing Hong Kun about to swallow the pill, Zhang Haoran immediately roared, "Shut up!"

The roar startled Hong Kun, and he subconsciously stopped what he was doing.

Zhang Haoran immediately forced out a very sunny smile and said, "Prince, don't rush to take drugs! We can discuss something."

Hong Kun was a little puzzled and said: "Sword Master! What do you mean by this? You and I are already mortal enemies. Today, either you die or I live. What else is there to talk about?"

Hong Kun was indeed seriously injured, but such an injury was not fatal to a top eight warrior. He was still capable of fighting, so he remained relatively calm.

Now Zhang Haoran said that he had something to discuss, which made Hongkun very curious. He wanted to hear what the other party would say.

You know, new warriors will never compromise, especially when the opponent has the upper hand.

Zhang Haoran still stared at the pill, swallowed his saliva and whispered: "How about we make a deal? If you give me this pill, I will let you live today!"

"Sword Master!"

After hearing this, Hong Kun was immediately furious and said, "As the strongest person, you should have the bearing of a strong person." Translated, this means that you should have some shame.

Although Hongkun has suffered serious injuries, he has not yet fallen to the point where he can be slaughtered at will. It would be a bit presumptuous to say this now.

Moreover, you just severely injured someone, and you refused to let him recover just because you wanted the healing pills. This is indeed a bit too much.

Zhang Haoran was a little embarrassed. He had indeed beaten Hongkun badly with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but that was not a fatal injury. It was indeed inappropriate to ask him to give him a chance to live when he had not yet gained an overwhelming advantage.

But he really coveted the pill. If he could snatch it, even without any skills, he would probably be able to forge jade bones.

So he quickly added: "Prince Hong! Your current injury is not serious, it would be a waste to use such a good elixir!

How about this!
As long as you are willing to give me this pill, today's battle will end. Not only can you heal your wounds in peace, but Li Zhu will no longer be in danger.

Also, we can not pursue the matter of your other brother Hongyu attacking Mo Wenjian.

What do you think of this condition? "

The conditions Zhang Haoran offered this time were very sincere.

But his words "your other brother" have a lot of meaning.

This was to show Hongkun that he knew Li Zhu's identity but did not disclose it directly.

Being able to say something so soft yet firm is an exceptional performance.

The main reason was that the pill was too attractive to him. Hong Kun just held it in his hand, and the bowl-sized hole on his chest began to heal. If he really ate it, one could imagine how strong the medicinal power was.

You know, Hong Kun has never activated the immortal matter to heal his wounds.

Now that he saw the other party was about to swallow the pill, he felt really distressed. There might be only one pill of this level, and once it was swallowed by the other party, it would be gone.

The matter of the sword soul breakthrough can be put aside for now. Hongkun is not the only one who has broken through the Eight Heavenly Kings here. The Zhenhai Envoy and Chaos Heavenly King can also be used to practice.

Moreover, the old guy Hongkun's blood is too strong! In fact, it is not the best choice. If the opponent is the King of Chaos, his swordsmanship can be fully utilized, and maybe he has already advanced by now.

It’s just that I don’t want to make too many enemies now, so I chose Hongkun.

Hearing the conditions offered by Zhang Haoran, Hong Kun was immediately furious and said, "This is too much. I just didn't check for a moment and you took advantage of me. Do you really think you can take advantage of me?"

It is not impossible to buy life with money, but Hongkun has not been forced to that extent yet. If the opponent had not been using his fists and feet to distract his attention, he might not even be his opponent. Now he dares to say such big words.

This is simply looking down on King Kun!
Hongkun didn't think he would lose. As long as he could recover from his injuries, it would still be uncertain who would win or lose.

Moreover, the stronger the warrior is, the more energy he consumes to recover from his injuries.

If a strong man like the Henren Emperor suffered such a serious injury, even if the entire Three Realms were filled in, it might not be enough.

If Hongkun wants to restore his golden body to its peak state in a short period of time, he must take elixirs of this level.

He met Zhang Haoran's eager eyes, raised his head and opened his mouth as wide as possible, then held the pill in front of his mouth, his eyes full of teasing, as if to say: "Envy! You don't have such a good pill? I'll eat it now for you to see."

"Damn it! How dare you challenge me? If I don't beat you up so badly that even your mother won't recognize you, I won't be called Zhang Haoran."

It is the other party's freedom to give the pills or not. If they are not satisfied with the conditions, they can talk again. But if they are just pretending, it is a provocation!
If the two had previously been in opposition and fighting for the interests of their respective camps, now it was a personal grudge!

In a rage, Zhang Haoran immediately pounced forward, using his sword skills to the extreme, and arrived in front of Hong Kun almost instantly.

"Zheng!"

The clear sound of a sword rang out! The long sword slashed down with the force of wind and thunder, and the attack position was exactly the opponent's neck, hoping to interrupt the opponent's movement.

If my head was chopped off by this sword, I wouldn't have time to digest the pill even if I swallowed it.

Hongkun’s provocation was too obvious. There might be some trap, but he couldn’t care about that now. Even if there was a trap, what could he do?
Zhang Haoran has an immortal power protecting his body and cannot die.

The strength of the two men was comparable, and he even had the upper hand when using fists and feet.

So there is no fear of any traps.

Facing the chopping sword, Hong Kun didn't care at all. He loosened his fingers, and the pill fell into his mouth, which he swallowed with a gulp.

An extremely powerful vitality exploded in his body, and the wound on his chest recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Haoran could see the jade-like luster emanating from the new bones.

At this time, the long sword was only a few feet away from the opponent's head, but Hong Kun did not make any defensive moves. He concentrated on recovering from his injuries. Even if he could not recover to his full condition immediately, he would try his best to recover.

Otherwise, in the next battle, this bloody hole in the chest will become a fatal weakness and can be easily breached again.

The most important thing is the location of the wound, right at the heart, which is a vital part. If he doesn't recover quickly, it will affect his strength.

Although a warrior will not die if his heart is blown up, it is the source of qi and blood, and will affect the speed of qi and blood condensation.

In the previous battle, he didn't gain any advantage, and if he left this weakness that could be exploited at any time, he might as well run away immediately and not fight anymore.

Hongkun is the ancient king of heaven and has seen too many conspiracies and intrigues. He will not pin his hopes on the kindness of his enemies.

Just when Zhang Haoran's sword was about to chop Hong Kun's head, the opponent still did not make any defensive posture, but showed a playful expression.

It made him feel a little uneasy!

"Is this old guy going to use his trump card?"

Sure enough, it happened the next moment.

"boom!"

A golden light shield rose up, emitting an imperial aura. Moreover, this imperial aura was not comparable to the imperial aura on Zhang Tao. It was full of domineering and endless majesty.

With a loud bang, the long sword slashed fiercely on the light curtain. Because he was anxious for the elixir, Zhang Haoran did not hold back in this attack and burst out with all his strength.

To his great surprise, the golden light curtain only trembled slightly, causing ripples at the location where the sword was struck, and then quickly returned to calm.
