Chapter 94: The Power of Alchemy and Artifacts
Tong Zhatian toyed with the Barrett rifle in his hand, his face set in vigilant determination. He glanced at those outside and gave a faint smile.
Bang!
Tong Zhatian’s vital energy surged into the barrel of the gun. He slowly squeezed the trigger, unleashing a terrifying force that shot directly at the leader of the most aggressive attackers.
Bang!
The man seemed to sense danger and turned his gaze, but the vital energy bullet had already been fired, striking him at a critical point. With nowhere to dodge, he roared fiercely, gathering his vital energy to form a shield in an attempt to resist.
But he had overestimated himself.
Bang!
The vital energy bullet pierced his body, leaving a small hole in the center of his forehead. Yet when the crowd looked at the back of his head, they saw a gaping cavity the size of a fist.
Hiss!
Everyone drew in a sharp breath, their pupils contracting in shock.
Such a weapon was terrifying beyond imagination!
It surpassed all previous vital energy weapons, creating a blind spot in their confidence.
Tong Zhatian, however, paid no attention. He quickly condensed more vital energy ammo and pulled the trigger again, erupting with another blast.
Another man fell to the ground.
“Hurry, break the formation!” The leader of the seventh-grade sect was astonished by Tong Zhatian’s weapon, desire burning in his eyes as he gazed at the Barrett rifle.
“Watch me!” Xuan Tianzha, seeing Tong Zhatian display such power, could no longer hold back. He shouted loudly and soared into the air.
“Itch Pills!”
One after another, pink-tinted projectiles were tossed into the sky by Xuan Tianzha, then sent outward.
The crowd watched the pellets with suspicion and anxiety. Without hesitation, they abandoned their attack on the formation, trying to resist with vital energy.
But… it was too late!
The pills exploded the moment they touched their targets, forming clouds of pink blood mist that spread throughout the heavens and earth.
“It’s poisonous! Use vital energy to resist!”
But Xuan Tianzha had anticipated this, already infusing the effects of the Passion Pills within. They bypassed vital energy, spreading directly through the air and seeping into everyone’s skin.
“Huh?! We blocked it, hahaha…”
“Just child’s play!”
……
Their voices rang out loudly, faces filled with disdain and mockery as they laughed at the members of Tongxuan Sect below.
“Did you make a mistake in refining them?” The Tongxuan Sect members looked at Xuan Tianzha with doubt.
“Heh… A mistake? Impossible, absolutely impossible…”
“Just wait and see. Watch how they cry for mercy.”
As expected, soon the sky was filled with screams.
“Ah… I’m dying…”
“It hurts, it itches, it feels so good…”
“What is this? It’s so itchy…”
“I can’t take it, I’m going to scratch myself to death…”
……
Wails and shrieks echoed, vital energy scattering across the sky.
Wherever the Itch Pills spread, people were seized by unbearable agony, scratching themselves relentlessly until their skin split open.
Yet even that failed to satisfy them, and they continued to claw at themselves, tearing away chunks of flesh, the scene becoming utterly horrifying!
“What kind of pill is this?!”
The Tongxuan Sect members were stunned.
Xuan Tianzha, proud of his handiwork, ignored their questions, watching the writhing figures above.
Bodies fell from the sky like dumplings, each one flayed and bloodied, some so grievously wounded their white bones were exposed.
“What kind of devilish pill is this?!”
“My lord, I don’t know. It must be a poisonous pill refined by the Tongxuan Sect!” replied a subordinate beside the seventh-grade sect master.
Very soon, nearly half the people in the sky had vanished.
Xuan Tianzha was quite satisfied, conjuring hundreds more identical projectiles in his hand.
“Retreat, those pills are coming again…”
The disciples on the ground saw the pills suddenly appear in Xuan Tianzha’s hand and shouted in panic, faces darkening as they retreated quickly.
At this moment… the mere scent of the pills struck terror in their hearts!
“To think that my dignified seventh-grade sect would suffer at the hands of a ninth-grade sect! Where will my reputation go?” Bu Yaolian slammed the armrest of his chair and sprang up, unleashing a terrifying force, a raging gale swirling about him.
“Break for me!”
The faces of Tongxuan Sect members changed dramatically, horror etched into their expressions. Tong Zhatian and Xuan Tianzha exchanged a knowing glance.
“Let’s go!”
One hurled a hundred pills, while the other’s Barrett was primed and ready. With a thunderous bang, the Barrett fired an unprecedented vital energy bullet.
The bullet tore through the air, three fingers wide, erupting with astonishing force straight at Bu Yaolian.
Boom, boom, boom…
Explosions resounded in succession, but Bu Yaolian ignored them completely. As a virtuous lord, his abilities were extraordinary, his body unmatched!
At this moment, neither vital energy bullets nor pills could hinder him in the slightest.
Thus, Bu Yaolian’s massive hand struck the formation.
Boom!
Crack!
The sound of shattering rang out as the formation collapsed.
“Prepare for battle! That one, Old Third and I will handle. The rest of you hold the line, give Fourth and Forty-Four a chance to act!” Nangong Mingyue instructed gravely, and everyone nodded with equal seriousness, signaling their understanding.
“Charge!”
As the formation of Tongxuan Sect crumbled, disciples of the various sects suddenly shouted, their pent-up feelings bursting forth.
Just two men had cost them over half their numbers—the fear and terror still vivid in their minds.
Above all, those pills were horrifying. Who could have imagined that a tiny pill would contain such poison, inducing unbearable itching and madness, driving people to tear their own flesh and reveal bone before dying?
The agony endured before death was unimaginable.
Especially those touched by a hint of the pink blood mist, who now lay groaning on the ground, faces twisted in pain.
It chilled and terrified the survivors even more!
“Kill them, avenge our comrades!” someone roared fiercely from the crowd.
Yet Xuan Tianzha and Tong Zhatian merely smiled, each taking out his prized creation, gazing wickedly at the charging attackers.
“Let’s see how you like bombs!”
“I’ll show you the combined power of Passion Pills and Itch Pills!”
The two burst out laughing, producing a heap of strange objects and hurling them forward.
Bang…
Boom!!
……
One explosive sound after another rang out, filling the disciples of the various sects with dread.
The fear of the pills now consumed their entire hearts.
Seeing Xuan Tianzha throw them, they instinctively tried to fly away—yet again, a mistake.
A mistake in encountering Tong Zhatian’s bombs.
Chunks of iron fell, exploding upon impact.
Bodies were torn apart, blood and flesh flying. Those who rushed forward were met only by thunderous booms and swiftly became corpses.
Then the power of the Itch Pills and Passion Pills began to erupt.
“You wretches, you deserve to die!” Bu Yaolian roared furiously, charging straight at the two.
