Chapter 199: Chapter 198: True Qi Pill! (Subscribe please)
The spirit backlash varies in severity, and this time, it’s a major energy depletion!
Obviously, the spiritual power of the guy in front of him is far above his own!
But how is this possible?
"No."
Chen Fan said and exerted more force. This time, the dagger finally cut through the protective shield, slashing across the opponent’s throat.
"Cough, cough..."
Guan Dehua clutched his spraying neck, his eyes fiercely staring at Chen Fan.
Not an awakener?
Not an awakener, and your spiritual power is this high? Do you take me for a fool?
But, damn it.
He felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurry, the world spinning.
He was unwilling, he was an awakener! How could he die here so inexplicably?
Without even knowing who killed him.
With a heavy thud, Guan Dehua’s body hit the ground.
"Finally killed him."
Chen Fan let out a long breath.
This guy named Guan, his strength was average, but he had too many means to save his life, especially instant teleportation.
Will all awakeners I meet in the future have these things?
He frowned.
It was very likely. This guy’s superpower was mind control, which was useless against him. But if he encountered a combat-type awakener with these items, it would be incredibly troublesome.
"Take it one step at a time."
Chen Fan thought to himself.
His eyes fell on Guan Dexi’s body. Undoubtedly, this guy must have space items, and there would definitely be many good things inside.
But here comes the problem. He didn’t know which one was the space item and how to open it.
"I’ll ask Meng Yu when I get back and see if she has any solutions."
Meanwhile, just a few kilometers away, six people led by Qin Ye were hurrying towards this place.
"What’s the situation? How did that guy suddenly disappear?"
"Yeah, I clearly saw him coming our way. Could it be that he also has instant teleportation items?"
"What? Then, wouldn’t Lord Guan be in trouble?"
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
Wang Rui glared at the person who spoke, saying, "Instant teleportation items aren’t something ordinary people can own. Besides, the trump cards Lord Guan has on him are beyond your imagination. Even if that guy caught up, what could he do to Lord Guan?"
"That’s right."
Qin Ye spoke up, "Speaking of which, I know that guy. He absolutely couldn’t have any instant teleportation items."
"What, you know him?"
"Qin Ye, you know the guy who uses a bow and arrow?"
"How do you know?" The others hurriedly asked.
"He’s from the Anshan City Martial Arts Branch Association."
Qin Ye sneered, "If I’m not mistaken, he should only be an Entry Force Martial Artist, just more skilled with a bow and arrow."
"I see."
Hearing this, the others felt much relieved.
So, he’s from the Martial Arts Branch Association.
Actually, without Qin Ye emphasizing, they also knew that the other party was an Entry Force Martial Artist. After all, could the Anshan City Branch produce a Meridian Refining Martial Artist?
Even producing one Transforming Force Martial Artist was unlikely.
But how did that guy disappear?
A shadow loomed over their hearts.
At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance.
"Who is that?" The group widened their eyes.
"It’s that guy!"
"And next to him?"
"It’s Lord Guan! He killed Lord Guan!"
The group watched this scene, their eyes bloodshot, and each popped an elixir into their mouths, then their speed surged as they charged toward Chen Fan.
Wang Rui, being a Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist, was the fastest.
"I was just looking for you."
Chen Fan sneered, standing his ground, and drew his bow, shooting an arrow at him.
"What!"
Wang Rui was shocked.
He had already used a secret technique, doubling both his speed and power, yet he still couldn’t see the arrow’s speed.
Moreover, he felt locked on, unable to dodge no matter what.
"You want to kill me? Impossible!"
He roared inwardly, frantically mobilizing his True Qi to cover his chest, his eyes blood-red, staring ahead.
He was a Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist!
The black streak of light arrived in an instant, and the violent air currents made his face sting.
In the next moment, with a "puff," the arrow pierced through the True Qi, tearing through flesh, and the enormous kinetic energy carried his whole body flying.
"Wang Rui!"
"Wang Rui!"
Seeing this, the remaining five were dumbfounded.
Wang Rui was the strongest among them, a Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist!
And he was killed with one arrow by this guy?
"Ah!"
A scream came from one of the Meridian Refining Martial Artists as if he had been hit by a truck, flying backward!
Another scream followed.
"!!!"
The two remaining Meridian Refining Martial Artists looked at Qin Ye as if to ask, with such fast archery skills, are you sure he’s an Entry Force Martial Artist?
Qin Ye’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He had felt something was off for a long time.
How could a Martial Artist nowadays kill a Meridian Refining Martial Artist with one arrow?
But if the other was also a Meridian Refining Martial Artist, it didn’t make sense. How could there be a Meridian Refining Martial Artist in the Anshan City Branch?
Unfortunately, Chen Fan didn’t intend to give them much time. With two arrows shot out, except for Qin Ye, the remaining two were also sent flying.
Chen Fan aimed his arrow at Qin Ye.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Qin Ye clenched his fists. He knew the other did it on purpose to embarrass him.
Beg for mercy?
This guy dared to kill awakeners; he certainly wouldn’t spare him.
But, run, how could he run?
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and charged at Chen Fan.
"A man indeed."
Chen Fan muttered, shooting an arrow, and Qin Ye’s body flew backward, dead in the air.
Scanning the surroundings to confirm no survivors, Chen Fan finally looked towards Anshan City.
The matter here seemed over, but it was likely just beginning.
Fortunately, through this battle, he figured out some things.
These awakeners’ physical constitution might not be as strong as imagined. Of course, it was also possible that Guan Dehua was not a combat-type awakener.
The main thing was they had various items, defensive and teleporting types. It was very difficult to kill them instantly, not to mention there could be offensive items as well.
"No wonder it’s called the Awakened Association."
He sighed, walking towards the bodies on the ground.
These people were genuine Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists. Although their items might not be as valuable as those on Guan Dehua, he could use whatever he could get.
He moved to the nearest body, reaching into the pocket and pulling out two bottles of elixirs.
"True Qi Pills?"
Chen Fan looked at the three characters on the bottles, somewhat surprised.
He recalled that when those people found him, they had all popped an elixir into their mouths, and their strength increased, most likely due to these True Qi Pills replenishing their True Qi.
"They just took it, so it mustn’t be poisoned."
Chen Fan poured one out.
The True Qi Pill, similar in size to the Top-grade Qi Blood Pill, was golden yellow and lustrous.
He swallowed it.
Unlike the Qi Blood Pill, the True Qi Pill brought a cool sensation to his stomach, with signs of his depleted True Qi being restored.
But then, all signs disappeared.
[Consumed Low-grade True Qi Pill, Potential Points increased by 100,000]
A message flashed in his mind.
"100,000 Potential Points?"
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
The price of a Top-grade Qi Blood Pill was 100,000 each, and a Low-grade True Qi Pill also cost 100,000. The former provided 80,000 Potential Points, and the latter 100,000, a difference of 20,000, which was acceptable.
Of course, if it were a Middle-grade True Qi Pill, the gap would be much larger, starting at least three times more.
He pocketed the two bottles of True Qi Pills and began to search the bodies, finding some miscellaneous items, including a secret manual.
[Primordial Skill]
"A Heart Method?"
Chen Fan was overjoyed.
Currently, there were only two known ways to increase internal True Qi: breaking through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and cultivating with an Inner Power Heart Method.
He had already practiced one, intending to verify if different Inner Power Heart Methods could stack for Martial Artists’ internal True Qi.
With this, he could test that once he got back.
If they can’t stack, there’s nothing to be done.
If they can stack...
Chen Fan licked his lips. His internal True Qi could reach a terrifying level.
Storing the cultivation technique, he continued searching and confirmed nothing was missed, then moved to the second body.
Soon, he found another bottle of True Qi Pills and two more secret manuals!
Chen Fan was thrilled and looked at the first one.
It was a lightweight skill named [Gale Step].
Chen Fan nodded. He had raised his body technique significantly yesterday, which could now be put to use.
"Saved me some contribution points."
He glanced at the next one.
"What’s this?"
He was surprised.
Because it wasn’t a martial arts manual but an alchemy pill formula, a Qi Blood Pill formula.
"I already have this."
Chen Fan frowned but opened it out of curiosity.
"It seems somewhat different from what I know?"
Chen Fan flipped a few more pages. Indeed, there were similarities but also differences.
He looked at his skill bar and was surprised to see a new skill, exactly this Qi Blood Pill refining technique.
"Maybe I should try to learn it?"
Chen Fan thought, perhaps like explosive martial arts techniques, these could merge once perfected?
If that were possible, the chance of producing Top-grade Qi Blood Pills should increase significantly.
One Top-grade Qi Blood Pill in a furnace is worth five or six Middle-grade ones.
With two days left before the headquarters’ assessment personnel arrive, if he can refine more Top-grade Qi Blood Pills during this time, it would be a significant gain.
