91: Chapter 91 The Bewildered Ma Yingjie

If he did not take the Medicinal Pill now and continued to be ambushed by Hu Nan and the person behind him, he would certainly perish here.

Thinking of this, Li Hu did not hesitate at all. He threw his head back and fiercely swallowed the blood demon pill in his hand. The Medicinal Pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth, and a violently tyrannical and evil Spiritual Qi instantly erupted from his abdomen, sweeping through his entire body like a volcanic eruption.

"Ah—!" A shrill and violent roar erupted from Li Hu's mouth. Unlike his previous agonizing screams, this roar was filled with the surge of power and extreme malice.

His previously weak aura skyrocketed like a rocket, becoming increasingly powerful and violent.

The Pressure fluctuating around his body broke through the Qi Refining Realm and soared toward a higher Realm. A powerful Pressure belonging to the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment instantly swept through the entire Chore Hall.

"Early Stage of Foundation Establishment!" Qin Changsheng's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that Li Hu would actually consume this kind of Medicinal Pill.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also understood that it would be very difficult for him to kill Li Hu today.

After all, the gap between a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a Qi Refining Cultivator was immense.

However, Qin Changsheng's goal for today had already been achieved.

He and Hu Nan had already severely injured Li Hu.

Coupled with Li Hu consuming this Medicinal Pill, Hu Nan would definitely be able to easily win the championship in tomorrow's grand competition.

Just at this moment, shouts came from outside the Chore Hall. Evidently, Li Hu's subordinates had heard the commotion and were rushing over.

Qin Changsheng made a decisive decision and quickly ordered Hu Nan, who was beside him, "Hu Nan, advance immediately and block Li Hu with all your might!"

After saying this, Qin Changsheng quickly ran toward the distance, with no intention of staying behind.

Li Hu also spotted Qin Changsheng fleeing and rushed toward him without the slightest hesitation.

He hated Qin Changsheng deeply.

After all, it was Qin Changsheng who had forced him into a desperate situation.

If he hadn't possessed the blood demon pill, he likely would have perished here.

However, like a ghost, Hu Nan instantly rushed in front of Li Hu. The black wind sword was unsheathed once more, and the sharp sword light, carrying a whistling wind, struck toward Li Hu's entire body. He did not seek to severely injure him, only to delay him and buy time for Qin Changsheng's retreat.

Entangled by Hu Nan's sword techniques, Li Hu was instantly furious and fiercely slashed his own longsword toward Hu Nan.

Although Li Hu had reached the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment after consuming the Medicinal Pill, Hu Nan, relying on the agility of the Gale Sword Technique, constantly circled around, dodging Li Hu's violent attacks, and tried his best to delay him.

Li Hu's eyes were filled with murderous intent and malice, but he could not completely shake off Hu Nan's entanglement.

He completely failed to understand why Hu Nan was covering that mysterious person's retreat.

He remained unmoved even after being injured.

Could it be that the mysterious person's status was even higher than Hu Nan's?

"Young Lord..." Manager Ma Yingjie's voice came from afar.

Manager Ma Yingjie's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

He never expected that while he was ambushing Hu Nan, someone would actually come to ambush his Young Lord.

After a few breaths, Manager Ma Yingjie rushed into the hall with more than ten people.

Upon arriving in the hall, Manager Ma Yingjie was instantly bewildered.

Because he saw Hu Nan fighting with Li Hu.

"Hu Nan?" Manager Ma Yingjie exclaimed in shock.

He never expected that Hu Nan would appear here.

After all, he had personally killed Hu Nan.

And he had been keeping watch in Hu Nan's small courtyard.

In Manager Ma Yingjie's view, even if Hu Nan possessed the Ancient Divine Ability of Rebirth, he would still need at least an hour to resurrect.

And the resurrection could only happen in the original location.

"You're courting death!" Manager Ma Yingjie shouted loudly and quickly rushed toward Hu Nan's back.

At this moment, the Incarnation of Hu Nan was fully focused on entangling Li Hu, trying his best to delay him, and did not notice the murderous intent behind him at all.

In the blink of an eye, Manager Ma Yingjie rushed behind Hu Nan, only a few feet away from him.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and his palm fiercely struck Hu Nan's back.

"Bang—!" With a dull, loud thud, a powerful force instantly swept through Hu Nan's entire body.

Hu Nan trembled all over. Without time to think, he immediately stored the black wind sword into his Storage Space.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Hu's eyes. He took the opportunity to raise his hand, and his longsword fiercely pierced into Hu Nan's chest, piercing through his heart.

Hu Nan's body twitched violently. The next instant, Hu Nan turned into fragments and disappeared before the two of them.

Looking at Hu Nan's vanished corpse, Li Hu's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

He never expected that there would be a Prodigy like Hu Nan within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Not only was his strength extremely powerful, but he also possessed the Ancient Divine Ability of Rebirth.

The first step of their Blood Demon Sect's revival had failed.

At the same time, Li Hu also knew that the championship of tomorrow's Outer Sect grand competition was out of his reach.

After all, his injuries were very severe, and he had also consumed the forbidden drug, the blood demon pill.

Although the blood demon pill was a secret treasure capable of forcibly boosting one's cultivation, it was also extremely tyrannical; it would overdraw a Cultivator's Origin and leave behind injuries that were difficult to heal.

He would need at least a year to recover to his Peak.

But besides that, there was another question, like a heavy stone, weighing on Li Hu's heart, making him incredibly curious and also incredibly wary—the identity of that mysterious person.

He could clearly feel that the person's strength was even higher than Hu Nan's.

And their usage of Spells was even more formidable than Hu Nan's.

Even Hu Nan cared deeply about that person.

After that mysterious person retreated, Hu Nan continued to delay for him.

"This subordinate arrived late to protect you; please forgive me, Young Lord!" Manager Ma Yingjie hurriedly knelt down.

The other subordinates also knelt down one after another.

"Manager Ma Yingjie, go and investigate the west side immediately!"

"There is another person who ambushed me there!" Li Hu shouted coldly.

"As you command!" Manager Ma Yingjie did not hesitate at all and quickly rushed toward the west.

Just as Manager Ma Yingjie rushed out, an intense, sharp pain suddenly swept through his limbs and bones, causing Li Hu's body to stiffen, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Young Lord!" Several subordinates hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to support Li Hu.

They wanted to support Li Hu, but were coldly pushed away by his wave.

Li Hu slowly opened his eyes, a trace of exhaustion and unwillingness flashing in the depths of his eyes. He raised his hand to press on his chest, forcibly suppressing the intense pain throughout his body: "Do not worry about me."

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Inside the small courtyard.

Qin Changsheng had completely returned here.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with a look of relief.

Fortunately, he had withdrawn very quickly after seeing Li Hu consume the blood demon pill.

If he had left a step later, he would certainly have been discovered by Manager Ma Yingjie.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also understood that the mission of today's ambush had been perfectly successful.

Li Hu had been severely injured by the Fireball Technique twice.

Coupled with the aftereffects of the blood demon pill.

Tomorrow, Li Hu would definitely have no power to fight again.

The champion of tomorrow's grand competition would definitely be Hu Nan.

And all Qin Changsheng had lost were merely two Spirit Stones.

The black wind sword had already been stored in his Storage Space when Hu Nan died.

Qin Changsheng waved his hand gently, and a Spirit Stone appeared in his hand.

As Qin Changsheng chanted the incantation, the next instant, Hu Nan's figure appeared not far away.

"Greetings, Master!" Hu Nan respectfully bowed to Qin Changsheng.

"Go, get some good rest!" Qin Changsheng waved his hand.

Hu Nan cupped his hands and then retreated.
