"Ye Yunfei, the power of that thousand-year Fire Dragon is too terrifying! I estimate that without its help, you wouldn't have been able to refine those ten Thousand Soul Solidifying Pills so quickly." Huang Shang suddenly sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei at this moment.
"Indeed. Without the aid of this Fire Dragon, I still wouldn't have been able to execute the Nine Revolutions Pill Condensation Technique for now. Half the credit for this alchemy success belongs to the Fire Dragon." Ye Yunfei did not deny it, nodding with a smile.
"No... This can't be real! Brat, you must be cheating! I don't believe it..." After hearing Master Yandan and Master Qihuang's words, Master Qianyao involuntarily retreated step by step, nearly collapsing onto the ground. He simply couldn't accept the reality before him.
"Liuyun, you were cheating! Tell everyone quickly how you cheated!..." Master Qianyao, like a gambler who had lost everything, had bloodshot eyes, his long hair disheveled, and a ferocious expression as his gaze locked onto Ye Yunfei.
"Master Qianyao, I can tell you with certainty that these ten Thousand Soul Solidifying Pills are absolutely real. At least I have that much discernment." Master Yandan shook his head and sighed.
Jiuqu Wanderer opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. After all, with hundreds of thousands watching, he knew saying anything was useless.
"Qianyao, we've lost. Before, I suspected Master Liuyun was a fraud, so my attitude towards him was somewhat disrespectful. But now, the facts have proven that Master Liuyun is indeed a First-Grade Treasure Pill Master. Moreover, his alchemy skills are superior to mine. I can no longer deny him." Master Qihuang sighed.
Upon hearing Master Qihuang's words, Master Qianyao knew the outcome was set and could not be changed! His whole body slumped to the ground, his face ashen with despair as if all his vitality had been drained away in an instant.
"Since you've lost, cripple your own hands." Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Master Qianyao shuddered all over, his face showing terror.
"Liuyun, even if you are a true First-Grade Treasure Pill Master, there's no need to be so absolute! In the future, we are all part of the same alchemy community. We're bound to cross paths again in the future; there's no need to make things so tense! At most, Master Qianyao can offer you some compensation!" Jiuqu Wanderer snapped.
"Master Liuyun, we were indeed wrong before, we shouldn't have looked down on you. However, Master Qianyao has cultivated the Dao of Alchemy through bitter practice, finally achieving today's accomplishments. If his hands are crippled and he can no longer refine pills, it would be a great pity. Considering we are all fellow practitioners, spare him this once." Master Qihuang, unable to bear it, also spoke up to plead.
"If I had lost this pill duel, do you think Master Qianyao, considering we are all fellow practitioners, would have spared me?" Ye Yunfei glanced at Master Qihuang with a half-smile, asking.
"This..." Master Qihuang didn't know how to answer. He certainly knew that if Master Qianyao had won this pill duel, he would definitely not have let this Master Liuyun before him off easily. In fact, the five of them, the alchemy masters, had already arranged for over a dozen Mystic Liquid Realm experts to surround the area beforehand, just in case Master Liuyun tried to escape after losing.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei took a step forward, his movement ghostly and extremely swift, arriving before Master Qianyao.
"Since you won't do it yourself, I'll help you." Ye Yunfei said.
"Haha... Brat, have you been so blinded by victory that you dare come before me alone? You're delivering yourself to your death! You winning against me is useless; I'll kill you now!" Master Qianyao suddenly let out a sinister laugh. He was not only a First-Grade Treasure Pill Master but also an early-stage Mystic Liquid Realm expert! He felt that dealing with Ye Yunfei would be as easy as turning his hand.
Boom...
As soon as the words left his mouth, he struck like lightning, his hands forming claws that emitted a sickly jade light as they shot towards Ye Yunfei's heart. Thick green mist accompanied the attack, filled with gloomy, baleful energy, sweeping over Ye Yunfei.
"Haha, brat, this is Earth-Ending Frigid Poison. Once poisoned, you'll turn into a puddle of bloody pus within a quarter of an hour. You're doomed." Master Qianyao's sinister laughter echoed throughout Fire City.
This sudden change was something no one had anticipated, leaving everyone stunned.
Then, in the next moment, the smile froze on Master Qianyao's face. Ye Yunfei's movements were countless times faster than his, his hands already like lightning grabbing Master Qianyao's wrists. There was a loud crack as he viciously wrenched both of them apart.
"What worthless frigid poison? It's useless against me." Ye Yunfei sneered.
"However, since your intentions are so vicious, don't blame me for being ungracious." Ye Yunfei said.
Thump!
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, his fist penetrating Master Qianyao's body and emerging from his back, splattering blood. Master Qianyao's heart had been shattered to dust.
"You..." Master Qianyao looked at Ye Yunfei with a gaze of terror and despair, utterly bewildered. He couldn't understand why he, a Mystic Liquid Realm expert, could be killed so easily by this youngster. Yet, his body slowly slid down.
"Liuyun, you actually killed someone! How cruel!" Jiuqu Wanderer, both shocked and furious, roared at Ye Yunfei.
"Didn't you see him trying to kill me?" Ye Yunfei looked at Jiuqu Wanderer and sneered.
"That's sophistry! Clearly, you killed Master Qianyao! Everyone, attack! Kill this cruel and bloodthirsty brat! He's a scourge to our alchemy community!" Jiuqu Wanderer shouted loudly while repeatedly winking at the dozen or so Mystic Liquid Realm experts around the platform.
Swoosh! Swoosh!...
Those dozen or so Mystic Liquid Realm experts, having already accepted bribes from Jiuqu Wanderer and Master Qianyao, all activated their movement techniques and rushed towards Ye Yunfei.
"Couldn't win the pill duel, so now you resort to force." Ye Yunfei's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"So-called alchemy masters like you turn out to be so despicable!" Fengyun Jue was furious. He took a step forward, and a rolling wave of spiritual pressure erupted instantly.
"How did it come to this?" Both inside and outside Fire City, people were utterly stunned by this turn of events.
Swoosh! Swoosh!...
A dozen Mystic Liquid Realm experts surrounded Ye Yunfei and Fengyun Jue, murderous intent thick in the air as they prepared to attack.
"Who dares disrespect Master Liuyun?!" At this moment, a tall and burly figure instantly appeared beside Ye Yunfei. His vast spiritual pressure erupted like a tidal wave, violently crashing into that dozen-odd Mystic Liquid Realm experts.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Those dozen or so Mystic Liquid Realm experts were all sent flying backward, their postures a miserable sight.
Lu Dachong, leader of the White Tiger Gang!
The crowd couldn't help but be shocked.
The White Tiger Gang was a first-rate power in the Central Continent. As its leader, Lu Dachong was naturally famous throughout the Central Continent.
"Master Liuyun, rest assured. With me here, no one dares lay a finger on you." Lu Dachong declared loudly.
