Chapter 76: Chapter 076 The Power of the Soul-Breaking Pill
“So that’s it, no wonder there is a hint of hatred in your bloodlust,” Feng Wuchen said with slight surprise, not expecting it to be Lin Yuntian’s brother!
After a pause, Feng Wuchen continued, “You must be a disciple of Burn Heaven Valley, right? Did you come on your own, or did Su Yuanshan send you?”
“That’s not important. What’s important is that I’m here to avenge my little brother!” Lin Yunchong replied icily.
Feng Wuchen slowly walked towards Miao Qingqing and said, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
“Master Feng, are you sure you want to save her? With just a squeeze of my talisman, the fire seal will explode. Given her minor cultivation level, I’m afraid she would die instantly,” Lin Yunchong said with a cruel smirk.
“That may not necessarily be the case!” Feng Wuchen declared confidently.
Approaching Miao Qingqing, Feng Wuchen’s hands moved swiftly, and a palm-sized fire talisman flew out from within Miao Qingqing.
Lin Yunchong furrowed his brows, thinking in surprise, “How did this kid do it? He could actually break my fire talisman!”
“Such trifling tricks like planting a talisman can hardly trouble me,” Feng Wuchen coldly smirked, waving his hand as the fire talisman flew away.
“Boom!”
Lin Yunchong reached out with his hand to grab at the air, and with a loud explosion, the fire talisman suddenly swelled up, sending ripples of fierce energy spreading in all directions.
Turning his gaze back to Lin Yunchong, Feng Wuchen asked coldly, “Where is Qingyang?”
“Once I’ve killed you, naturally I’ll release him! If I die, you can go find him yourself,” Lin Yunchong retorted with a cold smile, surging forward with his True Yuan as he spoke.
“Qingqing, go find Qingyang! I’ll stop him!” said Feng Wuchen frowning, his expression extremely solemn.
Lin Yunchong’s strength was incredibly formidable, far surpassing the man of the Eightfold Transformative Realm they had encountered before; Feng Wuchen was no match for him.
The appearance of Lin Yunchong was completely unexpected for Feng Wuchen. He didn’t anticipate that he would be targeted for assassination just upon leaving the city!
“Big Brother Feng, be extremely careful,” Miao Qingqing said worriedly.
Feng Wuchen retreated rapidly, his eyes following Miao Qingqing as she left. Only after she was far away did he feel at ease.
Lin Yunchong’s power was too fearsome; Feng Wuchen had no intention of engaging him in a fight. He rapidly withdrew, while Lin Yunchong relentlessly pursued him.
“Brat, I’ll see where you can run!” Lin Yunchong bellowed angrily, accelerating in pursuit while simultaneously launching attacks, bombarding the air with waves of cyan energy.
Feng Wuchen, not fully recovered from his injuries and slower in speed, saw the distance between him and Lin Yunchong quickly closing.
“Instantaneous Movement!” Feng Wuchen muttered under his breath. Executing his movement technique, Feng Wuchen’s figure vanished into thin air.
As he reappeared, he was already tens of meters away, and then he used the technique again, reappearing another tens of meters farther. In the blink of an eye, he had widened the gap by over a hundred meters.
“This kid’s movement technique is quite extraordinary; catching up to him won’t be easy, but it’s a good thing I came prepared,” Lin Yunchong muttered to himself, frowning. When he managed to catch up, Feng Wuchen had already disappeared.
“Whoosh!”
As Lin Yunchong halted, abruptly, a sonic boom sounded from above.
Lin Yunchong looked up sharply, only to see a shocking sight as Feng Wuchen, standing on a fiery sword, flew past overhead!
“Sword Flight! A Transformative Realm cultivator can perform Sword Flight?” Lin Yunchong was utterly astonished, disbelief written all over his face.
“Right now, I am not your match, but since you dared to threaten my friend, I will kill you sooner or later!” Feng Wuchen’s icy voice came from the sky.
“You think you can save him? You think you can escape?” Lin Yunchong roared angrily, swiftly giving chase.
He wouldn’t let Feng Wuchen escape when the opportunity was so ripe.
Only Lin Yunchong knew where Liu Qingyang was; there was no need for him to chase after Feng Wuchen. He just had to wait for his quarry to come to him.
“Whoosh!”
A golden arc tore through the sky, followed by another sonic boom, vanishing in the blink of an eye, revealing astonishing speed.
In less than two minutes, Feng Wuchen had returned to the small valley of Tian Yun Mountain and flew off in the direction Miao Qingqing had left.
“Qingqing, did you find Qingyang?” Feng Wuchen asked urgently as he flew in.
“No,” Miao Qingqing replied anxiously, continuing to search and calling out Liu Qingyang’s name, but there was no response.
Feng Wuchen landed and asked, “How long has it been since Lin Yunchong left?”
“About half an hour,” said Miao Qingqing, near tears, fearing something might have happened to Liu Qingyang.
“Half an hour?” Feng Wuchen frowned. With Lin Yunchong’s speed, there was no telling how far he could have gone by now.
The mountainous terrain around Tian Yun Mountain was complex, making finding Liu Qingyang akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
“Big Brother Feng, what should we do?” Miao Qingqing asked urgently, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears.
“Don’t worry. Lin Yunchong has come after me. He is Lin Yuntian’s brother, and he must have calculated everything in advance. Qingyang will be safe for now,” Feng Wuchen consoled her.
“The aura I sensed at the city gate was his; his ability to chase me all this way shows he is not simple—he came prepared,” Feng Wuchen murmured with a frown.
“Master Feng, you can’t escape unless you don’t care about your friend’s life and death!” At this moment, a cold sneering voice came from behind him, Lin Yunchong.
Hopping onto an ancient tree, Lin Yunchong said icily, “If you don’t die, your friend will soon have to as time passes. I advise you not to think about running away. If you run, you will never see him again. I give you two choices, the first is to let me kill you and the second is still to let me kill you!”
For a moment, Feng Wuchen was caught in a dilemma, one side was a good friend, and the other was an enemy he couldn’t defeat.
How could he defeat Lin Yunchong and save Liu Qingyang?
“What if I take a third path?” Feng Wuchen suddenly asked.
“It’s still a dead end!” Lin Yunchong said mockingly with a cold laugh, “I like to see you desperate and unable to do anything to me. Daring to kill my disciple, I will make your life worse than death! By the way, I think your friend won’t last much longer.”
“What?” Miao Qingqing’s pretty face changed drastically, her heart filled with even more panic.
Feng Wuchen’s eyes turned a few degrees colder; Liu Qingyang was in grave danger.
Although he was unsure whether Lin Yunchong was telling the truth, it was better to believe it was true rather than false.
“Then there’s no other way. Do you know the consequences of provoking an alchemist?” Feng Wuchen shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen herbs flew out from the storage ring, hovering above his palm.
“Bang!”
With a grasp of his right palm, a muffled ‘bang’ resounded, and a wisp of blue flame ignited.
Seeing this, Lin Yunchong scoffed, “What, you want to perform alchemy before you die?”
“Have you heard of the Soul-Breaking Pill?” Feng Wuchen asked softly.
“I don’t know what a Soul-Breaking Pill is, all I know is that today is your day of death!” Lin Yunchong said with a cold laugh, arms crossed over his chest, looking extremely arrogant.
Ignoring him, Feng Wuchen spoke calmly, “The Soul-Breaking Pill is a special elixir that can stimulate a cultivator’s potential. It’s several times more potent than the Beast Soul Pill. The effects last only a quarter of an hour, but it’s very dangerous, causing great harm to the soul. Even alchemists dare not take it rashly, as it can affect their alchemy realm.”
Hearing this, Lin Yunchong’s brow furrowed slightly as he said coldly, “You think you have time to concoct an elixir?”
“You have never seen me perform alchemy, so how would you know whether I have time or not?” Feng Wuchen countered, his soul power surged, and the blue flame suddenly expanded several times over, devouring the herbs.
With mysterious hand gestures, the herbs rapidly peeled under the intense heat of the blue flame, the essence condensing into a liquid with a rich fragrance.
The condensed essence quickly formed the outline of an elixir, with a powerful aura spreading around it.
In just a few minutes’ time, a third-grade Soul-Breaking Pill had been concocted.
What a terrifying speed! Which alchemist on the mainland could match such a frightening pace?
Lin Yunchong and Miao Qingqing watched dumbfounded, having never seen such miraculous alchemy, especially without the need for an alchemy furnace.
What kind of alchemy was this? It was so amazing!
“Thought-Forming Instrumentation! One-Thought Pill Concoction!” Lin Yunchong exclaimed in shock.
One-Thought Pill Concoction! How terrifying must an alchemist be to achieve this?
“This is the Soul-Breaking Pill!” Feng Wuchen said with a sly smile, “With my current level of cultivation, I’m indeed no match for you. But since you are seeking death, I have no other choice. Just right, I wanted to see how strong my potential is.”
Without hesitation, Feng Wuchen threw the Soul-Breaking Pill into his mouth!
“Brother Feng, don’t!” Miao Qingqing wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
“Qingqing, step back and find a place to hide,” Feng Wuchen instructed as the elixir went down his throat and began to take effect.
An incredibly terrifying presence erupted from within Feng Wuchen, soaring at an incredible speed without any warning.
His vigorous and wild True Yuan erupted uncontrollably, his entire body flashing with golden light, and the woods seemed as if a great wind had risen, the trees rustling loudly as powerful Qi Force spread out from Feng Wuchen.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Wuchen’s presence had soared to the Sixth Layer of the Transformative Realm!
A single Soul-Breaking Pill had allowed Feng Wuchen to instantly increase his strength by two levels! What an incredibly potent elixir!
“Seems my potential isn’t too bad; I’ve gone up two levels,” Feng Wuchen said with a cold laugh, clenching his fists as his gaze turned even more vicious toward Lin Yunchong.
Lin Yunchong stared at Feng Wuchen with a horrified face, not believing that a single elixir could instantly elevate Feng Wuchen by two levels of cultivation. Not even a Fifth Grade elixir had such a terrifying effect, right?
With his cultivation having reached the Sixth Layer of the Transformative Realm, Feng Wuchen’s combat power was sufficient to confront Lin Yunchong!
“I’ll kill you and send you to reunite with your brother!” Feng Wuchen said coldly, the power of the Dragon God surging out, as he suddenly stamped on the ground.
“Boom!”
Feng Wuchen’s strength was furiously fierce, and as his foot stomped on the ground, a loud ‘boom’ resounded, blasting a big hole into the ground, and his figure turned into a black streak, shooting out like lightning.
“God Shadow!” Feng Wuchen shouted as he dashed out, his speed doubling again!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lin Yunchong like a ghost, with a powerful tornado-like force, scaring Lin Yunchong’s face into a drastic change.
“Impossible!” Lin Yunchong gasped in terror, cold sweat pouring down and his body retreating several steps, completely shocked by Feng Wuchen’s formidable might.
