"But... you've always been worried that someone might find out your identity, so you kept it a secret..."
"The key is that if you show up, an alchemist who can refine top-grade elixirs will be exposed. What if the other party directly imprisoned you and forced you to refine elixirs for him?"
And once it’s exposed, if I still want to run my own medicine business like before…
Keqing saw the worry in her eyes and smiled.
"Don't worry, you will still be in charge of selling the pills. I won't replace anyone else. After all, our cooperation is so smooth and you have helped me a lot. I have no reason to replace a stranger for profit or other reasons."
"Besides, haven't you noticed any changes in me?"
Yan Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing the changes, she couldn't help but take a closer look. Changes? What changes?
The city lord's beauty has now reached a new level. Is this the reason? Or is it that her aura has become stronger, and her cultivation seems to be...
She suddenly stopped.
"Could it be..."
Not so fast...
"Yes, it's just what you think..."
Keqing nodded, and Yan Wu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Yue Hu, who was standing by, snorted inwardly. With that look? He's still a businessman.
Can't you see this!?
For Keqing, she has already reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, which is considered top-notch combat power in the Barren State. Unless she encounters a powerful Void Refinement Stage warrior, there is basically no need to worry. It doesn't matter if part of the alchemist's identity is exposed. This move can also bring vitality to Li City and further promote its development.
On the other hand, she also has two seniors helping her behind the scenes, so she won't panic if she really meets a powerful person, after all, the seniors have outstanding achievements.
"Senior Yuehu, if a powerful Void Refining expert appears and the situation is not favorable for me, I hope you can help me?"
Keqing sent a message but received no response.
She turned her head and saw a pure white fox lying lazily on the side, its tail swaying.
"Sister Yue, I'm counting on you."
"Humph……"
A light snort was heard, and Keqing knew that she was right to change her words. It seemed that she would not sit idly by. In this case, she felt relieved.
The young man had been staring outside the pleasure boat for quite some time, and seeing that the people inside the boat had no reaction, he became restless.
"Mr. Yi, I think the people in this boat are the accomplices of that woman. We might as well take the initiative."
The young man instigated.
In his opinion, the people in this boat were too arrogant. There were so many of them besieging them, and no matter their status, they were so arrogant that they didn't even react to a mere seventh-grade formation, simply not taking them seriously.
"I see, how come this pleasure boat suddenly appeared on the route we were chasing? It's very likely that this pleasure boat was here to pick us up."
Hearing what the young man said, Yi Lao didn't say anything, but was thinking in his heart.
He was thinking whether to leave a way out or offend him completely...
After all, they didn't know everything inside. They had previously believed that there was a powerful person inside based on the preciousness of the magic weapon. After all, such a precious flying magic weapon must have been obtained from elders by someone of prominent status and wealthy family, or he or she owned it himself, which represented great strength.
But this is just their guess, maybe the people inside are not that powerful.
You know, this is the territory of Qingcang City, and they are chasing a criminal suspected of poisoning and killing people. It is only natural that there is a pleasure boat hiding the criminal at this time, so...
Mr. Yi was not an ignorant person. He had a sharp gaze and could clearly see through the greed in the eyes of the young man beside him.
Such a mediocre person is really... not even as good as the city lord, and half as good as the city lord. He didn't even do the most basic cover-up. No wonder the city lord had no plans for a backup.
Yi Lao was dismissive of this.
However, he also knew that this recklessness was the courage given to the young man by his own identity.
As for Keqing, she was also quite annoyed. She had issued the statement herself, but the people on the boat ignored it. This neglect made her furious.
Keqing: It's only been a minute. Is this considered neglect?
Obviously, she didn't know that as the level of cultivation became higher, over time, the arrogance and superiority of the monks would sometimes become ingrained in people's minds and become commonplace.
Yi Lao frowned slightly, and finally gave the order: "Run Er, come on!"
"As ordered!"
This order fell into the ears of a silent monk.
After hearing the order, the other party instantly appeared on the pleasure boat and swung his clenched fist directly at the pleasure boat.
This man was wearing a green robe, his name was Run Er, and he was Yi Lao's servant.
At this moment, Run Er's eyes were deep, without a ripple, and he aroused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in front of the pleasure boat.
The young man next to him was delighted. He had seen Run Er smash a mountain-sized fallen beast with one punch, leaving it covered in wounds. Now, facing this pleasure boat, he would be able to deal with it in a short time.
At this moment, seeing the other party taking action, he could not help but persuade, "Senior Run, please be gentler and don't break the pleasure boat!" The greed in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Yi Lao glanced at him without saying a word, and Run Er's gaze did not waver.
He clenched his fist tightly, without any luster, and suddenly smashed it towards the pleasure boat. A loud bang exploded instantly, and the air around him seemed to be pulled, with gravel flying everywhere and smoke and dust billowing, just like a wild beast that had just escaped from a cage.
With this punch, the formation barrier seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and the barrier began to sink inward with the fist as the center, accompanied by a constant creaking sound.
The pressure reached a peak, and the sunken barrier suddenly stopped. Run Er could feel the spiritual energy accumulated inside the barrier gradually rising, and a powerful rebound force erupted instantly.
He had foreseen this scene long ago. After all, this was a common rebound mechanism of the formation.
Suddenly, a clear whistle came from above the barrier, like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, with surging momentum.
A deafening bang sounded instantly, and the tremendous force rebounded in an instant. Run Er immediately felt pain in his clenched fist bones, as if there was a sound of bone fracture.
At this moment, he quickly mobilized the surrounding heaven and earth energy, and an invisible momentum gushed out from his body, colliding with the rebounding force.
With a loud "bang", the collision of the two forces caused an unprecedented shock, like rolling waves. The rocks in the wasteland were flying everywhere, hitting the ground like raindrops, and raising a cloud of dust again.
Run Er couldn't help but retreat, stretching his hands out in front of him to block. At the same time, spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and a rotating pattern appeared before his eyes like a Bagua formation. Then he lightly slapped the rebounding force of the barrier.
【Boom——】
On the ground, the powerful fist energy pressed the flat wasteland downwards for dozens of meters. It was shocking that a dry lake was actually created!
However, Run Er, who attacked the pleasure boat, was unharmed, his sleeves flew against the wind and waves and he was suspended in the air.
The young man standing by was amazed.
"This formation must consume a lot of spiritual energy. I want to see how long I can hold out."
Yi Lao did not refute his sarcastic remarks. On the other side, Run Er looked at his broken fist, his eyes flashing with coldness. He slowly loosened his fist, clenched it, and then released it, as if he was adjusting something.
His eyes were fixed on the pleasure boat, and he increased his momentum again. A wild aura burst out from him, and his figure disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he reappeared in front of the pleasure boat and delivered a fierce punch.
But at this moment, a green jade hand stretched out, and a strange power suddenly emerged, gently surrounding Runer's fist that seemed to have the power to split mountains and fill the sea.
At the same time, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
"My friend, isn't it a bit rude to attack like this?"
Runer looked up and saw a pair of clean but somewhat helpless and troubled
s eyes.
His eyes froze, and he tried to exert more force, but found that his fist seemed to be crushed by a huge rock and he couldn't move at all.
However, he did not retreat. His expressionless face turned to the woman and his other fist swung at her.
However, this punch was like being entangled by soft silk and was easily blocked as before.
"Hmm? You want to come again?"
Seeing the opponent attack again, Keqing frowned and used her palm to resist, clenching her five fingers and firmly grasping the opponent's fist. The spiritual energy in her body flowed between her fingers, passed through her meridians and dantian, and suppressed Runer in an easy way.
No matter how hard Jun Er struggled at this moment, he could not break free from her restraints. There was a hint of surprise in the dull look in his eyes.
At this moment, not only Run Er, but even Yi Lao who was watching the battle from a distance was shocked.
"How could..."
He knew Runer's strength very well. The strength of his bones was unbearable for ordinary people. Even cultivators of the same level could hardly face the challenge. Who was the girl in the distance who could take it on so easily? Could she be the owner of the pleasure boat?
While Yi Lao's thoughts were still flying, Run Er turned his body, bent his knees, and rushed towards the woman's abdomen fiercely. The woman's eyes condensed, dodged, and her body had to get away from him.
At the moment of leaving, she squeezed her palms slightly.
Click...
Runer's wrist made a cracking sound, and Keqing quickly stepped back to make room.
She thought the other party would give up, repair his broken wrist, and then negotiate with her.
However, to her surprise, the man was like an uninjured person, following her closely like a puppet, with his arms bent, using his elbows as the attack point, and attacking her directly.
She dodged sideways alertly, but found that a ball of spiritual energy was gathering on the opponent's elbow joint, and the brewing power went straight to her ear.
Pupils shrink.
Then the ball of spiritual energy expanded wildly, like a bomb.
boom--
A loud bang exploded in her ears, and the surging air waves and spiritual energy storm instantly swept her and Run Er in.
Yi Lao narrowed his eyes, looked at this scene, and shook his head secretly in his heart.
However, before Yi Lao could continue to ponder, a calm voice came into his ears.
"If you really don't listen... then I won't be polite either."
boom--
The air wave exploded, and a figure flew backwards and hit the ground heavily.
The one who flew backwards was actually Jun Er!
boom--
The flying figure fell to the ground, shattering countless rocks and soil, adding new damage to the already devastated land.
The one who flew backwards was Jun Er!
Looking at Run Er embedded in the ground, not only the young man but also Yi Lao suddenly fell silent.
However, in Keqing's eyes, Run Er in front of her seemed a little weird. His bones were broken and his body was damaged. Logically, his meridians had been severed and it would take some time for him to recover. However, he stood up in a crooked posture. The bone spurs in his joints that had pierced his flesh and blood were pressed hard by him and stuffed back into his body. In just a moment, the original wound returned to its original state and he rushed over as if nothing had happened.
His body was like a cannonball, his spiritual power rubbed against the air, and suddenly a whistling sound was heard.
In just a moment, he had arrived in front of Keqing, and a fierce fist blew towards her face.
Keqing dodged several times, but seeing that the other party was really stubborn and refused to stop and talk properly, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
"You're not listening well, are you?"
Her hand suddenly grabbed the other person's wrist, and Runji's body froze. He saw an extreme coldness hidden in those clear eyes.
"Since you insist on having your own way, I will have no choice but to beat you into submission."
As she said this, she exerted force with her hands.
click-
She broke the opponent's wrist.
At the same time, she kicked Junji in the chest with her right foot, and with the huge force, his whole figure suddenly flew backwards.
However, how could Keqing allow him to leave her sight? She moved and appeared in front of Runer in an instant. She grabbed his ankle with one hand, then pulled him hard and threw him.
click-
The femur broke without incident.
She looked at Junji calmly, turned her right hand into a palm, and hit him in the chest.
"do not want!"
Yi Lao spoke out to stop him, but Keqing's ears moved, and without any hesitation, she slapped Run Er's chest hard.
Chapter 714: Mutation (4000)
"puff--"
Run Er, who was wearing a green robe, was smashed away and landed on an unknown hill, leaving a desolate scar behind him.
