Chapter 1646: Trash Pills, Trash People
Bang!
The two exchanged a palm strike and instantly separated, no longer remaining locked together in close combat.
Liu Donglin stared coldly at Helian Xiao and declared arrogantly, "It's time to end this. The fact that you managed to withstand my Star-Plucking From the Void is already enough for you to be proud of."
"Ten Thousand Zhang Star River!"
With a low shout, Liu Donglin charged forward first, both hands moving at the same time.
In an instant, all ten fingers danced wildly through the air.
Though he clearly only possessed ten fingers, the moment one looked at him, the sky seemed filled with countless overlapping finger shadows, densely packed together until it became impossible to distinguish which were real and which were fake.
Every single finger carried enough power to shatter stars and tear apart the void itself.
Ten thousand finger shadows erupted together, as though capable of destroying an entire endless galaxy in a single instant.
The terrifying force shattered the surrounding void and stirred up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a raging tide that swept forward like collapsing mountains and crashing seas.
Helian Xiao's expression turned grave.
He suddenly activated all the elemental force in his body and not only refused to retreat, but instead lunged directly toward Liu Donglin.
At this point, both men had already fought themselves into a true rage. Unless victory or defeat was decided, neither would back down willingly.
"Thousand Jun Force!"
Boom boom boom!
Within a flash of lightning-fast exchanges, countless leg shadows exploded from Helian Xiao.
Layer upon layer overlapped until they formed an impenetrable storm.
Every single kick carried fierce gale-force winds that destroyed the surrounding void and ripped open endless cracks.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of leg shadows filled the space between heaven and earth.
One strike could shatter the void.
A hundred strikes could overturn the heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Neither side cared about exposing hidden strength anymore. Both were determined to defeat the other at all costs.
Shockwaves erupted endlessly and swept through all directions, stirring the very heavens and earth.
For a time, violent winds roared through the area while the skies changed color.
Fortunately, a defensive array had been established around the arena. Otherwise, the entire manor would likely have been destroyed by the clash between these two.
Even so, the deafening explosions shot straight into the clouds and spread all the way to the mountaintop, alarming experts throughout the surrounding area.
Ye Changge's eyes flickered with interest.
"Hehe, that Helian Xiao does have some skill after all. At the very least, he finally forced Liu Donglin to reveal his true strength. Yunluo Sacred Land clearly came prepared this time. This Liu Donglin already possesses the qualifications to compete for the top ten."
Beside Ye Changge sat a young woman dressed in violet robes.
She nodded slightly, though her expression remained completely emotionless from beginning to end.
Even more astonishing was the fact that within her beautiful eyes were a pair of violet pupils.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the arena, the two fought madly as dust and debris surged everywhere.
After nearly the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the smoke finally dispersed, revealing the two figures at the center of the battlefield.
They still maintained the posture of their final clash.
Time itself seemed frozen.
Both men breathed heavily, yet neither moved even slightly.
Three breaths later, Liu Donglin lightly withdrew his fingers.
His face looked somewhat pale, though it was obvious he had merely overexerted himself and suffered no real injuries.
On the other side, Helian Xiao's eyes widened violently.
"Pwah!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood mist and collapsed backward onto the ground.
Though he had not lost consciousness, he had clearly suffered severe injuries and could no longer stand steadily.
Every wound on his body was individually minor, almost negligible on its own, yet there were thousands of them layered together.
Combined, they became impossible to ignore.
At this point, Dongling Immortal Pool's two Young Emperors had both fallen.
Xu Ming's hand bones had shattered, while Helian Xiao suffered heavy injuries.
There was a high possibility this would affect their performance during the Sunset Heaven Selection.
"Liu Donglin! This was only supposed to be a sparring match, yet you heavily injured Senior Brother Helian. Don't you think you've gone too far?!"
The disciples of Dongling Immortal Pool hurried onto the stage and helped Helian Xiao down.
After checking his injuries, Xu Ming's brows knitted tightly together as he demanded an explanation from Yunluo Sacred Land.
Liu Donglin curled his lips disdainfully and casually tossed out a bottle of medicinal pills.
"Hehe! If your own strength is lacking, don't blame me for attacking too heavily. Take this bottle. I'm rewarding you with it. These are Yunluo Sacred Land's most precious healing pills. Your injuries will naturally recover within two days. Though with someone like you, even after recovering, you'll still only end up as a stepping stone for others."
"Bah!"
Despite his severe injuries, Helian Xiao's temper remained as fierce as ever.
Struggling upright, he roared, "Who wants your pills? Take them back! This matter isn't over yet!"
Helian Xiao was overwhelmed with humiliation and fury.
Yet despite all his anger, he simply was not as skilled as the other side.
In this three-sect martial exchange gathering, Dongling Immortal Pool's two highest-ranked disciples had both been defeated.
The sect's dignity had been completely thrown away by him.
"Senior Brother, don't act rashly! Yunluo Sacred Land's alchemists truly are superior to ours. Their healing pills will greatly benefit your injuries."
Xu Ming pressed down on Helian Xiao's shoulder and gritted his teeth.
"If you don't want this to affect your performance at the Sunset Heaven Selection... then take them."
Though it was humiliating, compared to one's ranking in the Sunset Heaven Selection, pride alone was not enough.
"I... I..."
Helian Xiao's eyes filled with grief and humiliation.
After struggling internally for a long time, he finally shut his eyes painfully.
"Sigh... give them to me."
Right then, a clear and calm voice sounded from within the crowd.
"Are pills like this even fit for human consumption?"
Hm?
Instantly, countless eyes turned toward the source of the voice.
A white-robed youth slowly walked out from the back of the crowd.
It was none other than Ling Feng.
Ling Feng casually snatched the bottle from Xu Ming's hand.
Without even looking at it, he tossed it directly onto the ground and ruthlessly stomped on it several times, treating the entire bottle of precious healing pills like dirt beneath his feet.
The contempt and disgust on his face were impossible to hide.
"Junior Brother Ling, what are you doing?!"
Xu Ming frowned deeply and stared at Ling Feng with obvious anger.
At a time like this, what nonsense was Ling Feng causing?
That bottle of pills was the only guarantee that Helian Xiao could recover in time for the Sunset Heaven Selection.
What Xu Ming failed to notice, however, was the fact that when Ling Feng had snatched the bottle from his hand, he himself had been completely unable to react.
"I'm simply throwing away trash. That's all."
Ling Feng shrugged calmly.
"What did you say?"
Across from him, Liu Donglin's eyes flashed with vicious light.
He stared coldly at Ling Feng.
"Kid, if you've got the guts, say that again."
"The pills are trash."
Ling Feng stood proudly as he met Liu Donglin's savage gaze directly.
Then, word by word, he declared:
"And the person is trash too."
"You're courting death!"
Liu Donglin trembled with rage and immediately prepared to rush out and teach Ling Feng a lesson.
However, Wang Qian firmly held him back.
"That's enough, Junior Brother Liu. You really did go too far this time."
Meanwhile, Yue Huaqing watched Ling Feng as a strange light flickered within her eyes.
This man did seem to possess at least one redeeming quality.
That unyielding pride alone was already beyond ordinary people.
Unfortunately, his cultivation was still far too low.
Ling Feng casually took out another bottle of medicinal pills from his storage spirit ring.
He naturally held no favorable impression toward Helian Xiao.
However, this concerned the reputation of Dongling Immortal Pool.
If Helian Xiao truly swallowed the pills that Liu Donglin had tossed out like charity, the sect would lose all face.
"Senior Brother Xu, give these to Senior Brother Helian."
Ling Feng tossed over the porcelain bottle.
"These are actual pills fit for humans. One dose is enough to cure him completely."
Xu Ming caught the bottle.
After hesitating briefly, he finally poured out two pills and fed them to Helian Xiao.
Helian Xiao gritted his teeth.
Taking Ling Feng's pills was still better than accepting alms from the enemy.
Even if the effects might not compare to Yunluo Sacred Land's treasured healing medicine...
Hm?
Before he could finish the thought, a warm current surged throughout all four limbs and every bone in his body.
In only a few moments, Helian Xiao suddenly discovered that all his injuries had completely healed.
"Th... this..."
Helian Xiao stared blankly in shock.
He shoved Xu Ming aside and abruptly stood upright.
"Senior Brother Helian! You..."
Xu Ming hurried forward to support him, only to realize Helian Xiao's aura had already fully returned to its peak state.
The effects of these pills were utterly heaven-defying!
What they did not know was that these pills had been refined by Ling Feng using Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence as the main ingredient.
With the monstrous restorative properties of that treasure, the pills' healing effects naturally reached terrifying levels.
For a moment, everyone present stared greedily at the bottle still in Xu Ming's hand.
Even Yunluo Sacred Land's sacred healing medicine looked utterly insignificant compared to these pills.
If these were auctioned outside, even Great Emperor experts would probably fight until blood flowed to obtain them.
"Gulp!"
Sounds of swallowing saliva rang out everywhere.
Some people's eyes had even started glowing green with greed.
