Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hahaha...!"

Seemingly convinced that the situation was under control, Liao Fusheng also let out a strange, mocking laugh, his face full of arrogance and smugness. "You, surnamed Xu! I never thought you'd have a day like this!"

"Thirty years ago on Tianwang Mountain, did you, so full of youthful vigor, ever imagine that you would lose your life here today?"

Liao Fusheng sneered, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain as he looked at Xu Liancheng across from him.

After all, he had not only successfully taken revenge, but also crushed his former nemesis under his feet. Naturally, he was riding high and feeling incredibly pleased with himself!

"How dare a mere defeated opponent spout such nonsense here..."

Faced with Liao Fusheng's taunts and mockery, Xu Liancheng simply stood up slowly without raising his head, then gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His expression remained calm, as if the former was nothing more than a clown in his eyes.

"Shut up!"

Seeing Xu Liancheng's composed demeanor and his constant use of the phrase "defeated opponent," Liao Fusheng was equally enraged. His face suddenly darkened. "You despicable and shameless scoundrel, surnamed Xu! You dare to use the words 'defeated opponent' now...?!"

"If I hadn't been careless back then, allowing you to launch a sneak attack, how could you possibly be my match?!"

"Warfare is based on deception."

Ignoring Liao Fusheng's rebuttal, Xu Liancheng's tone remained calm and composed, "No matter how despicable my methods or how insidious my tactics, I ultimately won the battle at Tianwang Mountain thirty years ago..."

"And you will always be my defeated foe..."

Xu Liancheng's words were like a heavy hammer blow to Liao Fusheng's heart, making the latter's face turn ashen and causing him to fly into a rage!

"Damn bastard! I'll tell you to shut up...!"

Seemingly unable to suppress his anger any longer, Liao Fusheng roared and leaped towards Xu Liancheng opposite him, clearly determined to kill him!

After all, the most humiliating thing he never wanted to mention in his life was the Battle of Tianwang Mountain thirty years ago, and the fact that he lost to Xu Liancheng.

"Protector Liao, this man is now trapped like a turtle in a jar. Don't fall for his provocation..."

Seeing Liao Fusheng's furious attack, Yun Xiaotian also frowned slightly and reminded him in a deep voice, "The two of us can easily capture and kill this person by joining forces. Why fight him alone now?"

As the saying goes, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not fall down when it dies!

Although Xu Liancheng was already seriously injured and his Yuan power was insufficient, he was still a Yuanhai Realm expert and not easy to deal with.

Therefore, in Yun Xiaotian's view, there is no need to fight alone at the moment.

This is because it is not only very risky, but it also gives Xu Liancheng a chance to make a last-ditch counterattack.

"Heh, you brute!"

Seeing Liao Fusheng's furious attack again, Xu Liancheng did not confront him head-on. Instead, he slashed the blue bamboo in his hand in mid-air, which immediately transformed into several lotus flower barriers to force Liao Fusheng back. At the same time, he fell towards the direction where Ren Tianxing was.

"Brother Liancheng, you...!"

Ren Tianxing glanced at Xu Liancheng, who was covered in blood, and his pupils contracted slightly as he was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, do you have the courage to face death?"

Ignoring Ren Tianxing's astonishment, Xu Liancheng braced himself to stay upright, his tone cold and stern, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"The courage to walk with death...!"

Ren Tianxing's heart skipped a beat, and he was speechless for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning behind Xu Liancheng's words.

"Your Majesty, this pill is called the Detoxification Pill. It can not only completely purify the remaining Bone-Melting Powder in your body, but also greatly expand your Yuanhai Qi field, thereby multiplying your strength...!"

Seeing this, Xu Liancheng merely grinned, then slowly took out a crystal-clear golden pill shaped like a longan from his robes. "By taking this pill, Your Majesty, you can not only return to your peak condition, but also personally deal with Yun Xiaotian, this traitorous rebel..."

"Brother Liancheng, since you have this divine pill, why didn't you take it out sooner..." Ren Tianxing couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

After all, this way he wouldn't have to stand by and watch helplessly, unable to help kill the enemy.

"Heh, every medicine has its side effects..."

Interrupting Ren Tianxing's doubts once again, Xu Liancheng said quietly, "Although I have spent decades developing this Poison Purifying Pill that can neutralize all poisons in the world, I cannot harmonize its natural toxicity. Therefore, this pill still retains serious side effects..."

"As for the effects of the Detoxification Pill, they only last for a short time, about one hour..."

"Once the appointed time has passed, not only will the user temporarily lose all their vital energy, but they will also become a completely unconscious vegetable, requiring at least three days and three nights to awaken!"

Xu Liancheng's tone remained sinister, while his eyes were fixed on Ren Tianxing, as if waiting for the other party's reaction.

Originally, he did not want to take out the Poison Cleansing Pill, but Yun Xiaotian's strength has greatly increased, and he has broken through to the Yuanhai Realm level in one fell swoop. In addition, there is Liao Fusheng, who is causing trouble, so Xu Liancheng alone will not be able to turn the tide.

Therefore, for now, he can only take a gamble and place all his bets on the Poison Cleansing Pill and Ren Tianxing!

"The medicine's effects only last for a short hour...!"

"And once the drug's effects wear off, they'll lose all their energy and become unconscious vegetable beings...!"

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression also appeared on Ren Tianxing's pale face.

At this moment, he finally understood why Xu Liancheng had asked him in the beginning if he had the courage to walk with death!

After all, if they fail to end the battle within the duration of the Poison Cleansing Pill's effects, both Ren Tianxing and Xu Liancheng will be utterly destroyed!

"Brother Liancheng, I believe in you...!"

Taking a deep breath, Ren Tianxing grabbed the Poison Cleansing Pill and swallowed it whole, clearly having made up his mind!

Because he has no other way out now!

If the rebellious Yun Xiaotian and his accomplice Liao Fusheng are not dealt with, neither Ren Tianxing nor the Ren clan behind him will have a good end!

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the palace

call!call!call!

A gaunt figure stood against the wind, surrounded by a scene of carnage and bloodstains. The air was thick with a strong, pungent smell of burning blood, as if a fierce battle had just taken place here!

"Yun Wu Hui, it's all over...!"

With his right hand gripping Yun Wu Hui's neck tightly, Lu Feng's face was cold. He then lifted Yun Wu Hui into the air, saying, "Unfortunately, I'm the one who laughs last!"

"Little beast!"

"What...what did you just do to me?!"

With his neck gripped tightly, Yun Wu Hui struggled frantically, his face flushed red, but he still couldn't move an inch. At this moment, his eyes were filled with shock and horror as he looked at Lu Feng opposite him.

In the battle just now, Lu Feng suddenly pulled out a strange, pure white pearl from somewhere, which not only caused him to lose all his Yuan Power, but also made him unable to use his natal spirit!

Having lost all his Yuan Power and natal spirit, Yun Wu Hui was no match for Lu Feng, a body-refining monster, in a contest of pure physical strength. He was beaten half to death and eventually became a prisoner!

"You'll find out after you die...!"

Ignoring Yun Wu Hui's horrified question, Lu Feng exerted force with his palm again, instantly snapping the other's neck.

Click!

His neck twisted 180 degrees in an instant, and the next moment Yun Wu Hui was also decapitated on the spot. At the same time, his whole body fell straight down, dead beyond any doubt!

"It can not only shield against elemental energy, but also isolate spiritual energy..."

"The Heaven-Covering Pearl, a mid-grade Xuan-level magic artifact, is indeed powerful..."

With a single move, Lu Feng killed Yun Wu Hui. He then retrieved the Heaven-Shielding Pearl, his face remaining indifferent as if he had merely crushed an ant.

"As for this guy's corpse, we can't waste it...!"

Lu Feng glanced again at the gradually cooling corpse of Yun Wu Hui at his feet, his face full of excitement, and subconsciously licked his dry lips.

After all, absorbing the corpse of a martial artist at the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm has a far greater effect on improving one's Yuan Power cultivation than ordinary Qi Opening Realm or low-level Spirit Soul Realm cultivators; the two are simply not on the same level!
