Chapter 131: Chapter 127: Pill Snatching

In the quiet chamber.

The residual warmth from the Rank Three Alchemy Furnace lingered, and the lid rested silently on top.

The three of them were all staring at the furnace, unable to tear their eyes away for a moment.

“Have the pills formed…”

Xu Qiuhui’s beautiful eyes were filled with excitement.

She was nearly two hundred years old, and limited by her Spirit Root aptitude, the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment was almost the ceiling of her life.

If she couldn’t reach Core Formation before two hundred, she would have no hope in this life, only to wait for death, find a Dao partner to start a small family, hoping to leave something for future generations—this was her only fate.

Now, these pills were her last hope.

Li An also showed excitement and anticipation, speaking, “Don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty! Let the pills nourish, don’t affect the quality of their formation…”

Zhang Deyi said, “Yes, we’ve waited for decades, we cannot be impatient. Fellow Daoists, let’s sit around the furnace and watch over the pills!”

Xu Qiuhui and Li An naturally did not refuse, and the three of them immediately sat around the Pill Furnace.

The Primordial Spirit Pill was of too high a grade, so just the nourishment step needed half a month, allowing the pills to quietly absorb the medicinal properties from the Alchemy Furnace.

Half a month felt like a torment to the three of them.

The pills were likely right in front of them, yet the three were all wary of each other, none daring to relax in the slightest.

Finally, half a month passed.

“We can open the furnace now…”

Zhang Deyi finally spoke, “Friend Xu, how about you open the furnace lid?”

Xu Qiuhui nodded. She stood up, extended her right hand, her delicate hand slowly touching the lid…

Li An’s expression remained tense and expectant, but in his heart, he was already certain, indeed, Xu Qiuhui was his most important target.

Xu Qiuhui finally lifted the lid, gently uncovering it.

A brilliant light burst directly from the gap in the furnace lid, making one instinctively want to close their eyes, accompanied by a dense medicinal fragrance!

“This…”

Xu Qiuhui was taken aback.

And at this moment, an ear-piercing sound suddenly rang out, directly piercing into her ears, as if wanting to explode her mind.

Xu Qiuhui’s face drastically changed, her brows immediately furrowing, while her left hand suddenly slapped out several Tier Two Thunder Shock Talismans.

She was prepared, pinching the Thunder Shock Talismans in secret when she stood up to uncover the lid.

Clearly, she was quite acquainted with Zhang Deyi, also guessing his most potent means.

Divine Sense!

She desperately retreated, wanting to escape Zhang Deyi’s Divine Sense attack.

But an array had already emerged around, the array Zhang Deyi had set, now directly enveloping down.

“You dare…”

Anger surged in Xu Qiuhui’s eyes, but immediately that piercing sound rang out once more!

Hiss hiss hiss!

The sound wasn’t loud, a strange and piercing noise, yet it carried the power of Divine Sense, directly attacking one’s spirit.

Xu Qiuhui’s face turned pale, and at this moment, a white jade pendant on her snow-white neck emitted a faint glow, blocking this Divine Sense attack.

She was also equipped with a Spiritual Sense Type Magical Artifact.

Even so, waves of chill surged in her heart at this moment.

She knew Zhang Deyi was strong, but did not expect him to be this strong!

This level of Divine Sense, simply impossible for someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, at least at the level of a Great Cultivator in the Core Formation Stage.

In the entire White Tiger City, probably only the White Tiger Master could withstand Zhang Deyi’s Divine Sense.

“With just you, courting death!”

Zhang Deyi sneered, while sweeping his eyes.

Beside him, Zuo Wen had collapsed to the ground, holding a Tier Two Magical Artifact and an Upper Grade Tier One one, the latter directly damaged under his Divine Sense attack.

Zuo Wen was struggling to crawl to the edge, his whole body trembling.

The man was of no concern, Zhang Deyi focused his efforts on Xu Qiuhui, suddenly opened his mouth, issuing another shrill scream!

The sound was like that produced by some fierce bird.

Xu Qiuhui’s face drastically changed, she released three Thunder Shock Talismans to defend against the Divine Sense attack, while also deploying two Breaking Charms, hoping to break the array here.

The array was indeed torn apart slightly, but the second array appeared instantly, still barring her path.

“Zhang Deyi, do you really want to go to war with my White Tiger Mountain?”

She rebuked, seeing no escape, directly shaking the Tier Two sharp sword in her hand which emitted a fierce edge.

She wanted to take on Zhang Deyi while the pendant magical artifact lasted, giving her all in battle.

Zhang Deyi’s Divine Sense was too strong, even the Thunder Shock Talismans could only impede briefly, unable to cause lethal damage.

Her pendant artifact wouldn’t last much longer either.

But Zhang Deyi, seeing this, let out a grim laugh:

“Seems you’ve hit your limit, in that case, I’ll send both of you to the afterlife—”

His Divine Sense surged, emitting a howl like a low growl or lament of a wolf, yet the penetrating power of the Divine Sense within was unparalleled!

This was definitely an extremely advanced sound technique.

“No…”

Xu Qiuhui’s face paled, she didn’t expect Zhang Deyi to have other means yet unrevealed.

The wolf howl at this moment caused her whole body to shudder, the jade pendant on her neck shattered.

“Pfft—”

She directly spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, the sword in her hand clattered to the ground, her whole body convulsed, kneeling with a thud.

Zhang Deyi’s Divine Sense was already strong, she had been frequently releasing talismans, spent too much Spiritual Power, and now with the Tier Two Magical Artifact breached, she couldn’t endure anymore!

She passed out!

On the other side, Li An also lay motionless, his eyes bulging open, without a trace of life.

He seemed truly dead.

“You two are nothing more than stepping stones for me!”

Zhang Deyi muttered, he did not deal the final blow.

Because Zuo Wen was already completely dead, he could tell with his Divine Sense, impossible to deceive him. And Xu Qiuhui, knocked unconscious, still had some use—should he be blocked on his way out, he would at least have some bargaining chip in hand.

He walked to the Alchemy Furnace, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he set up a small array.

To prevent the pills from escaping.

Zhang Deyi reached out, opened the lid—

In that moment, his hand trembled slightly.

The lid lifted, light erupted, brilliantly dazzling, as if numerous pill shadows danced within.

The light cast like a bright moon lighting up the quiet chamber, Zhang Deyi didn’t directly collect them, but instead activated the small array to suppress the light.

This light was a self-protection method of Top Grade Pills, many of the pill shadows within were mere illusions, rashly acting might allow the genuine pills to escape.

But with the array he had set, the Alchemy Furnace was confined, the pills could not escape.

“Top Grade, it must be Top Grade, must be Top Grade—”

While dispersing the pill light, Zhang Deyi couldn’t contain his extremely joyful voice.

But at that very moment—

Boom!

An array of killing force suddenly emerged, rushing towards him.

“What?!”

Zhang Deyi’s face changed, Xu Qiuhui and Zuo Wen were clearly dead, how could there be a reversal?

Yet he did not panic, releasing his Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation to resist the killing array!

However, as soon as this first killing array was activated, a second one appeared…

“Two Tier Two killing arrays?!”

Zhang Deyi’s face turned somewhat grim. A single array he didn’t mind, taking the pills and using a Breaking Charm to leave wasn’t an issue, two…

He was in some trouble.

But immediately after, a third killing array also came…

“Three killing arrays?!”

He was even more surprised, what was this, someone set up three layers of killing arrays?

Just as he thought three layers were outrageous enough…

The fourth…

The fifth…

The sixth…

Six killing arrays, unleashed with full force!

“Damn!?”

Standing beside the Pill Furnace, Zhang Deyi couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity, what on earth was going on, was he seeing things?

Six, six Tier Two killing arrays??

Who the hell was this, actually setting up six killing arrays here, gone mad??????
