267: People are taking drugs

"Young Master!!"

Liang Kun, Blood Butcher, Ghost Shadow, and Iron Mountain almost simultaneously saw Xiao Chen in the deep pit, gasping for breath, his chest collapsed, looking like a dead dog!

A bone-chilling coldness instantly surged from the soles of their feet straight to their crowns!

Mission failure? No! Mission failure was still acceptable!

But if Xiao Chen died here... they simply dared not imagine the monstrous fury of Mo Qingxuan, the Hall Master of Dharma Transmission of the Moyang Sect!

That Void Refining Stage great Cultivator, who protected her own to an extreme degree, would absolutely make them wish they were dead, or even bring disaster upon their kin!

"Fight to the death!!"

A desperate madness erupted in Liang Kun's eyes, and he suddenly pulled out a crimson Medicinal Pill and stuffed it into his mouth!

Blood Butcher and Iron Mountain also hesitated not, each swallowing their most powerful, violent Medicinal Pills!

Ghost Shadow flashed his figure, forcibly taking a heavy bone-blade strike from the Asura Puppet with his back!

Pfft!

Ghost Shadow spat out a mouthful of blood, his back a mangled mess of flesh, but he used this impact to appear beside Xiao Chen in an instant, like a ghost!

His movements were fast as lightning; he stuffed a jade-green Medicinal Pill radiating rich life force into Xiao Chen's mouth, while simultaneously channeling a stream of pure Yuan power to protect his heart Meridians!

"Young Master! Hold on!" Ghost Shadow's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with determination.

"Want to risk your lives?!" Yue Shan and Lin Qingxue's eyes narrowed, instantly understanding the opponent's intent.

The two did not hesitate, each taking out a Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon's eye, with nine mysterious golden patterns flowing across its body—the nine revolutions profound yang pill!

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered their mouths! A torrent of heat, violent to the point of being unimaginable, instantly exploded within their bodies!

Yue Shan's already robust body expanded another circle, his muscles coiled, veins bulging like angry Dragons, and the earth-yellow Yuan power light surged, his aura instantly skyrocketing to a heart-palpitating level!

He felt as if his entire body's Meridians were being scoured by magma and cut by sharp blades, the pain was excruciating, but in exchange, he gained explosive power!

Lin Qingxue felt an extreme cold and a domineering heat intertwining and clashing within her body, the ice soul sword glowing with intense blue light, forcibly harmonizing this power!

The cold Qi around her surged, the ice soul sword hummed incessantly, its blade covered in a layer of crystalline mysterious ice, and her aura likewise soared, far exceeding that of an ordinary Mid Nascent Soul Stage!

The price was the tearing pain in her Meridians, as if they were about to snap at any moment!

"Roar!!"

Yue Shan roared, like a crazed ancient beast, his giant axe carrying the momentum of splitting heaven and earth, slashing fiercely toward Liang Kun, who was also surging with aura and attempting to rush over for a rescue!

Wherever the axe light passed, space itself seemed to be torn apart!

"Ice Seals a Thousand Miles!"

Lin Qingxue gave a clear shout, swinging the ice soul sword, and the extreme cold instantly permeated the area, countless ice shards condensing out of thin air, shooting like a rainstorm toward Blood Butcher, who had also taken the Medicinal Pill and possessed a ferocious aura, and Iron Mountain, who was attempting to set up a formation!

Wherever the cold reached, even the air froze, greatly hindering their movements!

"Little Loach! Your opponent is me!"

Blood Butcher sneered, the blood-evil aura around his body becoming substantial, his long blade waving and bringing up a sky full of blood shadows, clashing fiercely with the mysterious ice breath and ice crystal claws spat out by Qiong Shuang!

After taking the Medicinal Pill, his strength and speed greatly increased, and he was actually evenly matched with Qiong Shuang for the time being!

Qiong Shuang's large ice-blue eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance: "Hmph! Even after popping pills, you're still an ugly freak! Watch this King freeze you to pieces!"

Her offensive became even fiercer, pushing the power of the ice soul to the extreme.

On the other side, the battlefield between Han Yun and Luo Tianying appeared somewhat strange.

Han Yun looked at Luo Tianying opposite her, whose aura remained steady, even carrying a hint of a playful smile, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Sister Luo, your teammates have all started risking their lives, shouldn't you also... 'pop one' to add to the excitement?"

Luo Tianying covered her mouth and chuckled, her blood-red martial attire swaying in the wind, her posture indescribably enchanting: "Giggle, Junior Sister Han, what's the rush? The good show... has only just begun."

The crimson long whip in her hand danced like a spirit snake, seemingly fierce in its offensive, but she always left room at critical moments, as if waiting for something.

Han Yun frowned slightly, suspicion growing in her heart.

Thinking of the camaraderie of their sect, she held back thirty percent of her strength, but this attitude of Luo Tianying's didn't look at all like she was risking her life for Xiao Chen, but rather like she was... watching a show?

Just at this moment, when both sides had popped pills and erupted, and the battle situation was even more tragic and chaotic!

Scarface, who had been feigning a desperate fight while actually looking for an opportunity, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes!

He keenly captured the brief fluctuation in Xiao Huohuo's aura, which appeared because the medicinal power of the origin breaking pill was about to fade!

"Right now!"

Scarface growled inwardly! He suddenly injected all his Yuan power into the poisonous thorn in his hand, erupting with several extremely sharp, dark blue toxic rays, forcing Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi to defend with all their might!

"Poison Shadow Escape!"

Scarface's figure instantly turned into a dark light that almost merged into the shadows, his speed increasing explosively; he no longer entangled with the two, but fled desperately toward the huge crack revealed after the cave collapsed, far away from the core battlefield!

"Want to run?!" Xiao Huohuo roared, raising his blade to pursue, but was grabbed by Lin Shishi.

"Junior Brother! Don't chase! The medicinal power is fading! Our mission was to hold him off, and it's already completed! Go back and help Senior Brother Yao!"

Lin Shishi's face was pale, and her aura was beginning to become unstable, but her eyes remained calm.

Xiao Huohuo watched Scarface's figure quickly disappear into the shadows of the rubble, gritted his teeth, and nodded bitterly: "Let's go! Back!"

Seeing that Scarface had also successfully escaped, Liang Kun felt even more anxious!

While resisting the storm-like giant axe slashes from Yue Shan—Yue Shan, having taken the nine revolutions profound yang pill, possessed such terrifying strength that it made him feel heart-palpitating—he scanned the battlefield:

Blood Butcher was tightly entangled by Qiong Shuang, Iron Mountain was being suppressed into misery by Lin Qingxue's "Ice Seals a Thousand Miles" and the subsequent ice soul sword energy, and Ghost Shadow was protecting the heavily injured Xiao Chen, facing life-threatening danger under the pincer attack of Yao Delong and the Asura Puppet!

The defeat was certain! If they didn't leave now, everyone would be finished here!

"Ghost Shadow! Take the Young Master and go! We will cover the retreat!!"

Liang Kun let out a desperate roar, his voice filled with a hint of tragedy.

He knew that staying to cover the retreat, facing Yue Shan and Lin Qingxue who had taken the nine revolutions profound yang pill, as well as that terrifying Dragon, was almost certain death!

But to buy a glimmer of survival for Ghost Shadow and Xiao Chen, he had no choice!

"Hall Master Liang!"

Hearing this roar, Ghost Shadow's body trembled violently, a flash of complexity in his eyes, but it was instantly replaced by determination!

He understood that this was the only path to survival!

"Go!"

Ghost Shadow grabbed the unconscious Xiao Chen, his figure becoming elusive again, and he dashed rapidly in another direction like a ghost!

At the same time, he waved his hands repeatedly, and several pitch-black smoke bombs exploded, instantly permeating the area, not only obscuring vision but also interfering with Divine Sense probing!

"Hmph! Playing this trick in front of me? Stay!"

Yao Delong's eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year ice! How could he let the tiger return to the mountain? Especially Xiao Chen, this serious trouble!
