Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

"Lord Lu Yu, we have taken your instructions to heart!"

He Gang, the leader, was a burly man with a strong aura, but he lowered his head in front of Lu Yu, his tone carrying a hint of awe that was hard to conceal. "We will immediately begin expanding the influence of the pharmacy, attracting more ambitious people, recruiting talented young people, and spreading the power of your potions far and wide!"

Lu Yu nodded slightly, his eyes calm as water, as if all this was within his expectations.

He tapped the back of the chair, his voice low but with unquestionable majesty: "Okay, remember, the foundation of the pharmacy lies in the quality of the potion and your loyalty to me.

Go ahead and quickly integrate the forces of Fengshan City and even the surrounding cities. Anyone who stands in your way will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!"

Fourteen people responded in unison, their voices causing the candlelight in the room to tremble slightly.

They turned and left, their steps hurried, their eyes burning with a fanatical longing for the future.

Only He Gang had a complicated look in his eyes before he turned around.

Although he was influenced by Lu Yu's brainwashing methods, he still retained a trace of clarity deep in his heart because of his own strong strength.

He murmured softly, "This Lu Yu's methods...are truly incredible. Just what kind of power can make people so willingly serve him?"

Lu Yu heard his whisper, but just smiled faintly, without any emotion in his eyes.

He stood up, pushed open the window, looked at the night outside, and his thoughts were surging in his heart.

An hour of brainwashing consumed a lot of his mental energy, but the effect was far beyond his expectations.

These fourteen people are all powerful beings above the Soul King level. Now they are all at his disposal. The expansion of the pharmacy's power is a foregone conclusion.

A few days later, rumors about the "Pharmacy" began to spread in Fengshan City.

Rumors.

Initially, the city's residents scoffed at the idea, believing it was just a small, unknown workshop that couldn't possibly compete with the city's entrenched chambers of commerce. However, within just one month, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The atmosphere in the Chamber of Commerce hall was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

The leaders of several major forces in Fengshan City gathered together, all with solemn expressions.

Chamber of Commerce President Chen Cai sat in the main seat, brow furrowed, a copy of the account in his hand. His tone was filled with anger: "The quality of the medicines in the pharmacy is far superior to ours, but the prices are ridiculously low! This month, our medicine sales have plummeted by 80%. If we don't find a solution, the entire chamber of commerce is likely to go bankrupt!"

"President Chen, what is the origin of this pharmacy? How come so many powerful people suddenly appeared?"

A family head frowned and asked with a hint of resentment in his tone, "I heard that even several Soul Emperors have joined them. This is too bizarre!"

Chen Cai sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "I also sent a few Soul Emperors to test the waters earlier, hoping to steal their potion formula, but... they were all subdued, and none of them returned."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

"What? The Soul Emperor has been subdued? How is this possible?!"

A middle-aged man slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "President Chen, you are not exaggerating, are you?"

Chen Cai snorted coldly and was about to retort when he suddenly heard steady footsteps coming from outside the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in red walking in slowly. She had a graceful figure and a cool temperament. Behind her were several soul masters with powerful auras. Among them was a middle-aged man who exuded the pressure of a soul douluo, which was frightening.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Chamber of Commerce?"

A family head shouted angrily and stood up to take action.

The woman in red only chuckled, her voice clear yet filled with irresistible authority: "I am the owner of the pharmacy. I came here today just to give you an opportunity - to join the pharmacy and share in its prosperity.

If you don't submit, the Pharmacy will have no choice but to crush your forces with thunder and lightning."

"presumptuous!"

A family head flew into a rage, "You, a small pharmacy, are trying to seize our market, and yet you dare to speak so arrogantly? I think you are tired of living!"

However, Chen Cai waved his hand to stop him, his eyes fixed on the Soul Douluo behind the woman in red, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

He whispered, "Miss, the strong man behind you... could it be a Titled Douluo?"

The woman in red smiled slightly, a hint of teasing in her eyes: "President Chen has good eyesight, but Contra is enough to make you bow your heads."

Before she could finish her words, the middle-aged man behind her suddenly attacked. His soul power swept like a hurricane, and a ray of light flashed. Before the head of the aristocratic family named Xiao could react, he was slapped away and hit the wall, spitting blood and fainting.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one dared to breathe.

Chen Cai gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"

The red-dressed woman's expression remained unchanged, but her tone grew colder: "I told you, joining the pharmacy is your only choice.

Otherwise, there will be no place for you to stand in Fengshan City anymore."

She paused, her eyes sweeping over the crowd, "I'll give you three days to consider. After three days, Manager Wu will come to handle the follow-up matters."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving the leaders of the forces looking ashen.

Chen Cai sat down dejectedly, muttering, "Who on earth is this pharmacy?"

Three days later, all the major forces in Fengshan City surrendered to the pharmacy.

On the surface, the city remains calm, but secretly, the pharmacy has taken control of the overall situation, and all voices of resistance have been silently erased.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Yu sat in the main seat, and the City Lord stood respectfully beside him, reporting: "Lord Lu Yu, all forces in the city have been deployed, and their loyalty is not a problem.

The reputation of the pharmacy has now spread to several surrounding cities."

Lu Yu nodded, took out a bottle of crystal clear potion from his arms, and handed it to the city lord: "This is a potion to improve your strength, as a reward for you.

Keep working and don’t slack off.”

The city lord took the potion, his eyes full of enthusiasm, and thanked him repeatedly.

Lu Yu waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong pushed the door open and walked in. Her pretty face was a little tired, but she could not hide her excitement: "Lu Yu, I just came back from the capital of the Wuhun Empire. I have placed people there according to your instructions.

However, local forces are quite ostracizing us, so progress has not been smooth."

Lu Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The water in the Wuhun Empire is very deep, and exclusion is inevitable.

You continue to win people's hearts with profits and potions, and the foundation of the pharmacy must be laid firmly.

How is the income?

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and smiled. "The monthly income of the pharmacy in the capital has exceeded 20 million gold soul coins! The strength of the pharmacists is also steadily improving, and there are already more than a dozen people at the Soul King level."

Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction, but in his heart he was already planning for the long term. Over the past year, the apothecary had risen rapidly under his leadership, now boasting four Title Douluos, over fifty Soul Douluos, and countless Soul Masters, with influence spanning three cities and penetrating multiple industries.

With a monthly income of tens of millions of gold soul coins, he has enough confidence to challenge bigger goals.

However, the behemoth of the Wuhun Empire is still a huge mountain standing in front of them.

"Rongrong, for the next three months, you will continue to stay in the capital and make sure the pharmacy establishes a firm foothold there."

Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "I have other things to deal with, so I'll be away for a while."

Ning Rongrong was stunned, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Where are you going? The situation is so tense now, you are alone..."

Lu Yu waved his hand to interrupt her, his eyes determined: "I want to go to Xingluo Forest, improve my second martial soul, and break through to Soul Saint.

I must implement the Qilin Remnant Soul's suggestion as soon as possible."

Ning Rongrong wanted to say something more, but seeing that Lu Yu's expression was settled, she could only nod: "Then be careful, I will take care of the affairs of the capital."

Three months later, Lu Yu bid farewell to Ning Rongrong and the other three women and set out on the journey to Xingluo Forest alone.

He wore a silver mask that covered his handsome face. He looked reserved, as if blending into the surrounding night.

Xingluo Forest, located north of Fengshan City, is a vast primeval forest where soul beasts roam rampant and dangers lurk on every side.

Soon after Lu Yu entered the forest, he sensed a strong fluctuation of soul power, accompanied by bursts of beast roars and the sound of swords clashing.

He followed the sound, hid his body, stood on a high branch of an ancient tree, and looked down.

Deep in the forest, a fierce battle was unfolding.

Several soul beasts were blown away by a huge force and smashed into pieces.

A fiery red figure holding a long sword, the sword light like a rainbow, fought fiercely with several human warriors.

The figure had a slender figure, and her fiery red skirt rustled in the moonlight. It was Liu Erlong.

"Liu Erlong, you can't escape!"

An old man who looked like a Titled Douluo sneered, and the soul power in his hand condensed into a blade of light, slashing fiercely at Liu Erlong, "We have sprinkled the air with 'Soul-Eroding Powder'. The more you resist, the faster your soul power will be lost!"

Liu Erlong's pretty face was icy cold, and she danced with her sword tightly, shouting angrily, "Despicable villain! Do you think you can make me surrender by using such despicable means?"

Another Titled Douluo laughed heartily, his eyes filled with amusement. "Liu Erlong, traitor to the Spirit Empire, do you think you can escape to safety in this Xingluo Forest? Today, the four of us will join forces, and you won't be able to escape even if you have wings!"

Liu Erlong gritted her teeth, exerted her soul power to the extreme, and roared out her Fire Dragon Martial Spirit, trying to break through the encirclement.

However, the siege of the four Titled Douluo forced her to retreat step by step, and the Soul-Eroding Powder in the air made her breath gradually weaken.

Lu Yu stood on the treetop, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He murmured softly, "The Spirit Empire is hunting you down... Liu Erlong, it looks like you've gotten into quite a bit of trouble."

He moved his fingers slightly, and a bottle of potion appeared in his palm, emitting a faint fragrance. "However, this is an opportunity..."

Lan Ba ​​Academy was shrouded in the darkness of night, with lights flickering. Many soul masters gathered at the training ground, whispering to each other and looking towards the two figures in the center of the field.

There was an invisible tension in the air. Ma Hongjun stood there lazily with his hands in his pockets, a look of disdain on his face.

Opposite him, Cheng Jun straightened his back, showing the aura of a level 64 Soul Emperor without any concealment, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"Ma Hongjun, I heard that you were able to get into Lanba Academy through connections?"

Cheng Jun sneered, crossed his arms, and deliberately raised his voice, attracting the attention of the surrounding spirit masters. "With your Soul King strength, are you worthy enough to compete with us genuine spirit masters? Today, I, Cheng Jun, will let you know what the real gap is!"

Ma Hongjun raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Oh? Cheng Jun, you are quite confident in what you said.

Since you are so confident, why don't you let me take action first, so that others won't accuse me of bullying you."

Hearing this, Cheng Jun laughed heartily, his laughter tinged with sarcasm. "Let you make the first move? What a boast! Come on, I want to see what you, a backdoor guy, are capable of!"

The surrounding soul masters were discussing the matter. Some shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Ma Hongjun was overestimating his own abilities. Others were just watching the fun, waiting for Cheng Jun to tell this "ignorant" person that he was not capable of anything.

The Soul King gave him a lesson.

Ma Hongjun was neither anxious nor impatient. He slowly raised his right hand, and his soul power condensed on his fist, emitting a faint hot breath.

He didn't release his martial spirit, nor did he use any spirit skills. He simply clenched his fists, locked his eyes with Cheng Jun, and spoke calmly, as if chatting casually: "Then I won't be polite."

Cheng Jun snorted coldly, releasing his soul power. The sixty-fourth level of pressure surged out like a tide, and the air around him seemed to be stagnant.

He raised his arm, ready to take Ma Hongjun's attack head-on, with a hint of disdain on his lips: "Come on, boy, let me see what you're made of!"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun flashed by at such a speed that it was almost impossible to see his trajectory.

His fist hit Cheng Jun's arm like a meteor, and the wind from the fist brought up a wave of heat, as if even the air was ignited.

Cheng Jun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he only had time to concentrate his soul power on his arm before he heard a "crack"

A crisp sound! "Ah——"

Cheng Jun screamed and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

His right arm hung limply, the severe pain from the broken bone made his face pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if his whole body was numb from an invisible force.

There was silence.

The soul masters around widened their eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

A Soul King defeated a Soul Emperor? And with just one punch?! This completely overturned their understanding! Some rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had seen it wrong, while others whispered, "What kind of monster is this Ma Hongjun...?"

Ma Hongjun clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant, and lazily looked at the fallen Cheng Jun: "Tsk tsk, Cheng Jun, your strength as a Soul Emperor is only this much.

You let me make the first move, what do you think? Do you accept it?"

Cheng Jun gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, but found that all the soul power in his body seemed to have been dispersed by the punch and he could not exert any strength at all.

He glared at Ma Hongjun fiercely, his eyes full of unwillingness, but he couldn't say a word.

"Okay, Fatty, let's go."

A clear voice came from behind the crowd, and Lu Yu walked slowly towards them, with an upright figure and a calm temperament, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him.

His appearance made the surrounding soul masters unconsciously quiet down, and there was a bit more awe in their eyes.

Ma Hongjun chuckled, turned around and followed Lu Yu, leaving the training ground without looking back.

Behind him, Cheng Jun was helped up by several companions, his face ashen, his eyes filled with resentment. (End of Chapter)
