130: Brothers fighting

Bai Xiaofeng suppressed his rage, forced a strained smile onto his face, and took three faintly glowing Pill Formulas from his storage ring.

He waved them in front of Jiang Donghua, his tone carrying a hint of smugness.

"Master Jiang, the third-grade pill recipes for the Soul Condensing Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, and Profound Ice Meridian Guarding Pill that you mentioned previously—I went to great lengths to acquire them."

He glanced sideways at the Third Young Master and sneered.

"Some people talk a good game, but the things they can actually produce probably don't even include a single decent Pill Formula, right?"

Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take them, but Bai Xiaofeng slightly shifted, deliberately keeping them out of his reach.

"Don't rush, Master Jiang."

Bai Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with probing.

"Shouldn't we renegotiate our cooperation?"

Jiang Donghua withdrew his hand, rubbed his chin, and feigned deep thought.

"What does the Ninth Young Master mean?"

Bai Xiaofeng's smile widened.

"It's simple. Since Master Jiang appreciates tangible benefits, why don't you directly join my command and become my exclusive Alchemist? Resources, medicinal ingredients, pill formulas—I can give you the best of everything!"

"Heh."

Before Jiang Donghua could answer, the Third Young Master, Bai Wuchen, couldn't help but laugh out loud, lightly fanning himself, his tone full of mockery.

"Ninth Brother, oh Ninth Brother, your methods are a bit too clumsy."

"You think a few third-grade pill recipes are enough to tie down a Master Alchemist?"

"Do you think Master Jiang is a street vendor selling sugar figurines who can be fooled with a little sweetness?"

Bai Xiaofeng's expression darkened.

"Third Brother, what do you mean?"

Bai Wuchen said unhurriedly.

"I mean that a true Master Alchemist pursues the peak of the Pill Dao, not just a few low-grade Pill Formulas."

He turned his gaze toward Jiang Donghua, his tone sincere.

"Master Jiang, if you are willing, I can introduce you to the Myriad Medicine Pavilion of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion behind Heavenly Serpent City.

The Pill Formulas collected there start at fifth-grade, and they even possess a few incomplete seventh-grade ancient formulas.

Are you interested?"

Seventh-grade ancient formulas!

Jiang Donghua's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of fervor flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofeng immediately grew anxious.

"Master Jiang, don't listen to his nonsense!

Even my father cannot easily browse the Pill Formulas in the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

How could he possibly have the authority to bring you in?"

Bai Wuchen smiled slightly.

"Ninth Brother, just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't."

He looked at Jiang Donghua and said meaningfully.

"As long as Master Jiang is willing, I have my ways."

Bai Xiaofeng was so angry his face turned ashen, and his fists cracked audibly, wishing he could tear off his Third Brother's hypocritical smiling face right then and there.

Jiang Donghua narrowed his eyes and sneered internally.

Seventh-grade Pill Formulas?

How could Bai Wuchen, a mere Dou Ling, possibly be qualified to access treasures of that level?

This guy was clearly drawing a huge pie, trying to get something for nothing!

In comparison, although Bai Xiaofeng had a sinister personality, he was at least generous, and he genuinely had three third-grade pill recipes in his hand right now, showing more sincerity.

"Why must the two Young Masters get angry?"

Jiang Donghua suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of reconciliation.

"I am merely an Alchemist. If you brothers hurt your harmony because of me, then that truly would be my fault."

Bai Xiaofeng let out a cold snort.

"Don't worry, Master Jiang, today's matter has nothing to do with you! It's my Third Brother who is going too far!"

Bai Wuchen still wore a slight smile, but his eyes had turned cold.

"Ninth Brother, it seems the last lesson wasn't deep enough."

"Enough nonsense!"

Azure Dou Qi surged around Bai Xiaofeng, and wind-attributed energy condensed into sharp wind blades in his palm.

"If you have the guts, let's fight outside! I want to see if your rock-attributed Dou Ling can withstand my Thousand Shadow Wind Kill!"

Bai Wuchen closed his folding fan, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Since you insist on seeking death, I don't mind teaching you another lesson."

Before his voice fell, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and earthy yellow Dou Qi surged like a tide, causing the entire room to tremble slightly!

Hong Yu's face was pale, and she quickly retreated a few steps, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Although she cultivated charm techniques, her strength was only at the Dou Master level.

If she were hit by the residual shockwaves of a Dou Ling Expert's battle, she would be severely injured even if she didn't die!

Red Silk, however, remained standing beside Jiang Donghua, her fingers lightly pressing the short sword at her waist, and she whispered.

"Junior Brother, should we seize this chance to slip away?"

Jiang Donghua's lips curved slightly, and he shook his head.

"No rush, let them fight first."

Since these two brothers insisted on competing, it was better to let them wear each other out first so he could reap the benefits later!

Bai Xiaofeng struck first, his figure flickering like a ghost, instantly closing in on Bai Wuchen.

The wind blade tore through the air, aiming straight for his throat!

Bai Wuchen remained calm, raised one hand, and a thick rock wall instantly rose from the ground, forcefully blocking the wind blade!

"Boom!"

The energy blast erupted, instantly shattering the tables and chairs throughout the room!

Seeing this, Jiang Donghua immediately shouted, feigning concern.

"Two Young Masters, if you want to fight, take it outside! My room can't handle this kind of chaos!"

Bai Xiaofeng gave a malicious laugh.

"Fine! Third Brother, do you dare to go outside?"

Bai Wuchen smiled faintly.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two simultaneously rushed out the door, their Dou Qi erupting, their fighting intent soaring.

Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Wuchen rushed out of room c, standing opposite each other in the spacious courtyard, their Dou Qi surging, radiating killing intent!

"Third Brother, this time, I won't let you succeed so easily!"

Bai Xiaofeng sneered, and azure Dou Qi suddenly erupted around him.

His figure flickered like a ghost, instantly pulling out several afterimages, making it difficult to discern his real body!

profound rank mid-level Dou Technique—Thousand Shadow Steps!

Bai Wuchen's gaze slightly narrowed.

His folding fan snapped open with a *swish*, earthy yellow Dou Qi condensed around him, and the ground slightly trembled, ready to counter the sudden attack at any moment!

"Whoosh!"

Bai Xiaofeng's true body suddenly appeared to Bai Wuchen's left, a sharp wind blade condensed in his palm, slashing straight towards the neck!

"Rock Barrier!"

Bai Wuchen shouted softly, and a thick rock wall instantly rose from the ground, forcefully blocking the wind blade!

"Boom!"

The wind blade collided with the rock wall; shattered stones flew everywhere, and energy waves surged!

Bai Xiaofeng's attack missed, and his figure flickered again, instantly circling behind Bai Wuchen.

He clasped his hands together, compressing his Dou Qi frantically!

"Xuan-Rank Low-Tier Dou Technique: Sky-Rending Blade!"

An azure wind blade several zhang long suddenly slashed out, tearing the air and emitting a piercing shriek!

Bai Wuchen's expression darkened.

He held nothing back, stomping fiercely on the ground.

Several rock pillars instantly rose, coiling upwards like giant pythons, forming a spiraling rock shield!

"Profound Rank High-Grade Dou Technique: Coiling Dragon Barrier!"

"Rumble——!"

The wind blade and the rock shield violently collided.

A violent energy shockwave swept across the surroundings, instantly shattering the rockery and stone tables in the courtyard.

The ground cracked, and dust flew everywhere!

"Hiss—!"

The onlookers quickly retreated, faces filled with horror.

"This is the strength of the two Young Masters of Heavenly Serpent City? It's terrifying!"

"Bai Wuchen's rock-attributed defense is simply unsolvable, but Bai Xiaofeng's wind-attributed attack is even sharper.

This battle is hard to call!"

Seeing his Sky-Rending Blade blocked, a cold light flashed in Bai Xiaofeng's eyes.

His figure changed again, splitting into three afterimages that simultaneously attacked Bai Wuchen from different directions!

"Secret Technique: Three Shadows Kill!"

Bai Wuchen frowned, forcefully closing his folding fan.

Earthy yellow Dou Qi frantically gathered, the ground suddenly collapsed, and countless sharp rock spikes broke through the soil, shooting toward Bai Xiaofeng like a torrential rain!

"Secret Technique: Earth Fiend Spikes!"

"Bang, bang, bang——!"

Three afterimages were pierced by the rock spikes, but one of them strangely avoided all attacks, and the true body instantly closed in on Bai Wuchen, striking toward his chest!

"Got him!"

Bai Xiaofeng laughed maliciously.

However, a cold smile curved on Bai Wuchen's lips.

His figure suddenly turned illusory, scattering like quicksand!

"Secret Technique: Quicksand Phantom Body!"

"What?!"

Bai Xiaofeng's pupils contracted.

His palm missed, but the real Bai Wuchen had already appeared behind him, pressing a palm onto his back!

"Ninth Brother, you are still too green."

Bai Wuchen said indifferently, and the Dou Qi in his palm suddenly erupted!

"Rock Burst Palm!"

"Boom——!"

Bai Xiaofeng was sent flying by the palm strike, crashing heavily into the courtyard wall, a trace of fresh blood spilling from his lips!

"Did the Third Young Master win?!"

The crowd exclaimed.

However, Bai Xiaofeng slowly stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and the fighting intent in his eyes grew even stronger!

"Third Brother, do you think this is over?"

Bai Wuchen's expression finally changed.

"You actually mastered this move?!"

Bai Xiaofeng let out a roar of laughter, his figure instantly soaring into the air.

With a flap of his wind wings, he dove down like a meteor!

"Profound Rank High-Grade Dou Technique—Heavenly Wind Meteor Kill!"

Bai Wuchen dared not be negligent.

He slammed both hands onto the ground, and earthy yellow Dou Qi frantically poured into the earth!

"Profound Rank High-Grade Dou Technique—Earth Dragon Overturn!"

"Rumble, rumble, rumble——!"

The entire courtyard violently shook.

The ground surged like waves, and a massive rock dragon broke through the soil, roaring as it met the Heavenly Wind Meteor Kill!

"Bang——!!!"

The two terrifying energies collided.

The explosive shockwave swept in all directions, instantly collapsing the buildings within the courtyard, and smoke and dust shot into the sky!

The onlookers were all forced back, and some were even thrown by the residual shockwaves, falling to the ground in disarray!

"Too terrifying! Is this the strength of the Young Masters of Heavenly Serpent City?!"

"If they keep fighting like this, the entire room c will be torn down!"

Just as the two were about to strike again.

"What are you two Stinky Kids trying to do?!"

An ancient yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a vast pressure descended, instantly suppressing the Dou Qi of both men!

Everyone looked up, only to see a Gray-Robed Elder standing mid-air, his expression gloomy, his eyes burning with rage!

The Great Elder of Heavenly Serpent City, Bai Yan!

Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Wuchen's expressions changed simultaneously.

They quickly stopped fighting and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to the Great Elder!"

Bai Yan let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeve, and said angrily.

"Fighting fiercely in room c, what sort of conduct is this?!

Get back and face the wall in contemplation!"

Neither dared to refute him, only lowering their heads in affirmation.

Bai Yan's gaze swept across the surroundings, and he said lightly.

"Today's incident was merely my two nephews inadvertently crossing hands.

Please don't take offense!"

The crowd fell silent, lowering their heads one after another.

Bai Yan's pressure, that of a Peak Dou Huang, enveloped the entire scene like an abyss or a sea.

Those onlookers who had been whispering instantly fell silent, even softening their breaths.

In this Black-Corner Region, the strength of a Peak Dou Huang is everything.

A Dou King might be able to dominate an area, but before a true Dou Huang, he is still as insignificant as an ant.

Moreover, Bai Yan was not only the Great Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion but also one of the actual controllers of Heavenly Serpent City.

His status was venerable, and no one dared to defy him!

"Haha, Elder Bai, please calm your anger.

Your two nephews are exceptionally talented, possessing such strength at a young age.

This truly is a blessing for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"

A Dou King-level guest quickly offered a placating smile, attempting to ease the tension.

"Yes, yes, the two Young Masters are already high-tier Dou Lings at such a young age.

They are bound to achieve great things in the future!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, praising them verbally while secretly feeling fortunate.

Luckily, they hadn't been affected just now.

Otherwise, given Bai Yan's temper, even those watching the spectacle might have suffered!

However, Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Wuchen, standing in the center of the courtyard, were still unconvinced, sparks flying as their eyes met.

Bai Xiaofeng let out a cold snort and said softly.

"Third Brother, you got lucky this time. It won't be so easy next time!"

Bai Wuchen smiled faintly, lightly fanning himself.

"Ninth Brother, a loss is a loss. Being stubborn is useless."

"You—!"

Bai Xiaofeng clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage, but constrained by Bai Yan's presence, he ultimately didn't dare to strike again.

Bai Yan's gaze was like lightning, sweeping over the two, and he said coldly.

"Aren't you ashamed enough?

Go back to your own residences!

You are not allowed to step outside the mansion gates without my permission!"

The two dared not disobey, only lowering their heads in affirmation.

"Yes, Elder."

Bai Yan stroked his beard contentedly, then flicked his sleeve.

"Today's matter ends here. Everyone, disperse!"

The crowd acted as if they had received a great pardon, quickly bowing and retreating.

Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Wuchen exchanged glances, both showing unwillingness, but they could only leave grudgingly.

Hong Yu shrank into a corner.

Seeing the two Young Masters leave, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to sneak away, she suddenly felt a cold gaze fall upon her—it was Red Silk!

Hong Yu stiffened all over, forcing a slight smile, and said softly.

"Sister, how may I help you?"

Red Silk's lips curved slightly, and her voice was icy.

"Why haven't you scrammed yet, you pest!"
