120: Chapter 120 Can't beat them? Then take some drugs.

"Clang!" Ye Chen's sword slashed down again. Zhang Wen hurriedly raised his spear to block, the shaft vibrating from the Sword Qi, his arm so numb he could barely hold his weapon.

Although his Penetration Realm spiritual energy allowed him to barely parry the attacks, Ye Chen's Domain power was like an invisible shackle.

Every collision made the blood in his body churn, and his recently healed ribs throbbed with tearing pain again.

"Still holding on?"

Ye Chen sneered, his sword techniques becoming increasingly fierce as golden Sword Qi rained down like a storm.

"Your friends have already become prisoners. Once I kill you, I will hang your corpses at the gate of the Black Wind Stockade for everyone to see the consequences of opposing the Zhenxi Army!"

Zhang Wen gritted his teeth, his Eye of Thunder Punishment fixed on the gaps in the sword attacks, barely dodging a fatal blow.

Yet, he was grazed on the shoulder by the Sword Qi; his armor shattered, and blood instantly gushed out.

He knew that if this continued, he would sooner or later be worn down to death by Ye Chen, so he hurriedly summoned the System in his mind.

"Open the shop, redeem all Medicinal Pills that can heal injuries quickly!"

[System shop opened. Detected that the host's current points can be redeemed for: Ordinary Healing Pill (1000 points/pill), Instant Recovery Blood Pill (1800 points/pill), Meridian Protection Pill (1200 points/pill). Redeem?]

"Redeem all! Prioritize using the Ordinary Healing Pill!" Zhang Wen did not hesitate.

The next second, three bottles of Medicinal Pills appeared in his arms out of thin air. Taking advantage of the gap while Ye Chen retracted his move, he quickly pulled out an Ordinary Healing Pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth, and a gentle medicinal power surged down his throat into his body.

His damaged Meridians and wounds healed at a visible rate, and his churning blood stabilized a little.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen noticed that Zhang Wen's Aura had suddenly stabilized, a flash of surprise in his eyes before he sneered.

"Relying on Medicinal Pills to hold on? That is nothing but a desperate struggle!"

He activated his Domain power again, the golden Aura field contracting violently, compressing Zhang Wen's range of movement to a minimum, his sword thrusting straight at Zhang Wen's heart, every move fatal.

Zhang Wen dared not be slow; while using the sky-splitting startling thunder spear to block, he fished out another Instant Recovery Blood Pill and swallowed it.

As soon as the medicinal power exploded, he seized the gap where Ye Chen's old power had just faded and new power had not yet arisen, concentrating Thunder Power and soul fire at the spear tip, thrusting fiercely at Ye Chen's lower abdomen.

"Do you think Medicinal Pills can save you?"

Ye Chen dodged to the side, his palm wind striking Zhang Wen's back, "The gap between the Domain Realm and the Penetration Realm cannot be bridged by Medicinal Pills!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Wen was hit by the palm strike and flew backward, slamming heavily into the crystal wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But before Ye Chen could pursue, he immediately pulled out a Meridian Protection Pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

This Medicinal Pill could protect his damaged Meridians, preventing him from being backlashed by spiritual energy during high-intensity combat.

The medicinal power spread rapidly, the burning pain in his Meridians fading; he propped himself up with the spear shaft and stood again, his eyes showing no sign of retreat.

"Cannot be bridged? Then I will keep popping pills until it is!"

Seeing Zhang Wen swallow Medicinal Pills one after another, his Aura recovering from the brink of death time and time again, Ye Chen's expression finally darkened.

He had thought he could easily kill Zhang Wen, but he hadn't expected the opponent to rely on strange Medicinal Pills to hold on until now.

He could even occasionally counterattack a few moves; although lacking sufficient force, it still prevented him from completely controlling the battle.

"You're courting death!"

Ye Chen was completely enraged; the sword in his hand erupted with blinding golden light, and all his Domain power was poured into it.

"This sword strike will leave you without even the chance to pop a Medicinal Pill!"

He leaped up, a golden Sword Qi several zhang long condensing on the sword.

Like a sharp blade swung down by a Heavenly God, it slashed toward Zhang Wen with an earth-shattering Aura.

Zhang Wen's pupils constricted; he could clearly feel the terrifying power of this sword strike.

Even if he had popped three Medicinal Pills now, it was absolutely impossible to take it head-on.

He hurriedly poured all the soul fire from the nether crystal core into the thunder lin kai, the thunder patterns instantly lighting up, while simultaneously stuffing another healing Medicinal Pill into his mouth, preparing to resist head-on.

"Boom!"

The golden Sword Qi slashed fiercely against the defense of the thunder lin kai, the thunder patterns instantly dimming.

Zhang Wen was sent flying by the huge impact, slamming heavily onto the bronze coffin, the coffin itself shifted by the shock.

He spat out a large mouthful of blood, his internal Meridians damaged once again.

But the Medicinal Pill in his mouth took effect just in time, its medicinal power rapidly repairing his injuries, preventing him from collapsing immediately.

"Not dead yet?"

Ye Chen landed, looking at Zhang Wen struggling to climb up, his eyes filled with incredulous killing intent.

"I want to see how many Medicinal Pills you have to pop!"

He carried his sword and walked step by step toward Zhang Wen, his Domain power expanding again like a hunting beast, preparing to give Zhang Wen the final fatal blow.

Zhang Wen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, fished out the last Instant Recovery Blood Pill and swallowed it, feeling the power surging back into his body, and gripped the sky-splitting startling thunder spear tightly.

A trace of determination flashed in his Eye of Thunder Punishment—as long as the Medicinal Pills were not exhausted, he could not admit defeat.

Zhao Meng and the others were still waiting for rescue, and the secret of the nether crystal core had not been solved; he absolutely could not die here!

Just at this moment, a violent Thunder Power surged within Zhang Wen's body, his spiritual energy instantly skyrocketing, and his attack power received a massive bonus.

The thunder patterns on the sky-breaking thunder qilin armor lit up again, even more intensely than before.

The tip of the sky-splitting startling thunder spear was entwined with purple electric arcs, as if enchanted by thunder, its power far exceeding before.

"This is... Thunder Gaba triggered?" Zhang Wen felt a joy in his heart, and without further hesitation, he carried his spear and charged straight at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had thought Zhang Wen was at the end of his rope; seeing this, his pupils constricted, but it was too late to react.

Zhang Wen's speed was several times faster than before, the Thunder Power at the spear tip carrying a piercing crackling sound, thrusting straight at his face.

Ye Chen hurriedly raised his sword to block, and with a loud "Clang!", he felt a massive force transmit through, his arm numb.

His whole body was knocked back a dozen steps before he could steady himself, and a tiny notch even appeared on his sword.

"How is this possible?"

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Wen in shock; the opponent's Aura was actually nearly twice as strong as before.

Zhang Wen did not give Ye Chen a chance to react, charging forward again with his spear, his spear techniques wrapped in Thunder Power, every move fierce, forcing Ye Chen to retreat repeatedly.

Ye Chen finally put away his contempt, his expression becoming solemn—he knew that if he could not take down this kid today, he would definitely face huge trouble in the future.
