740 Clear Fire (2/2)

”…” Sixth Elder's mouth twitched and he wanted to shoot a dirty look at the Heavenly Oasis Saint. However, he decided to use his sword to teach him an important lesson: one must be honest!

”Boom!”

Just when Sixth Elder wanted to slash him, a huge explosion came from Second Elder's side. It felt as if a huge golden bell had been struck.

In fact…

The bell had been struck.

The moment Fang Zhengzhi attacked Second Elder with his sword, Yan Qing crashed into the huge golden bell which trapped Yan Qianli.

This sensation was akin to a blindfolded wild horse. It could not see what was around it.

A huge sound reverberated in the air.

The huge golden bell started to shine with golden light after Yan Qing hit it. In the light, one could countless complicated runes flashing and shining.

One could, therefore, see that while the golden bell was rattled, it was definitely not going to break or shatter. It was as stable and firm as a huge mountain.

Of course, Yan Qing would not give up so easily.

After he realized that he had gotten no reaction after he smashed into the golden bell, he took three steps back as his body crackled.

Evidently, Yan Qing was prepared to smash it a second time.

Furthermore, from Yan Qing's expression, one could tell that he was extremely determined. If he could not succeed after one try, he would try it two times. If that failed, he would hit it three, four, five, six times. If he could not shatter it today, he would hit it all the way until tomorrow. Even if he had to hit it for half a year, it was fine. As long as he had a chance to smash it, he would come up with a plan.

This was the extent of his determination.

However, Yan Qianli shuddered at this thought. Any normal person knew that when someone was trapped inside a huge bell, one should not try to free him by crashing into the bell.

The reason was simple…

No one could take it.

Yan Qianli's eyes turned red because of the first impact. More importantly, his ears could not hear anything that was going on outside.

All he could hear was dull thuds.

Naturally, Yan Qing's thinking was characteristic of him. Not only could it lead to astounding successes, but it could also make others give up all love for life.

Evidently, Yan Qianli was the latter.

As Yan Qing planned to smash it again, Yan Qianli's thoughts were indescribable. He wanted to say, ”Rascal, if you have the courage to do so, let us switch places!”

Of course, it was extremely difficult for the former Prince Yan, once the lord of Western Liang, to say such a thing.

Hence…

As Yan Qianli watched Yan Qing take three steps back as he prepared to crash into him once more, all he could was to wave at him vigorously. Then, he said in a raspy voice, ”My friend, my life is worth nothing. Please think about the bigger picture and help Fang Zhengzhi!”

”Alright, take care of yourself, elder!” Yan Qing was slightly stunned. His sharp, beastly gaze was momentarily replaced with a look of respect. Then, he nodded his head and turned to smash Second Elder.

…

As the Second Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, his strength was not weak. Coupled with his supreme treasure, the ancient bell, he would not be at a disadvantage even if he fought four to five Sages.

In fact, Second Elder could do that.

Yan Qianli had just become a Sage. However, he became a Sage via the Dao of Asura of the Six Rebirth Daos. Hence, he was much stronger than normal Sages.

Even so, he was still trapped firmly underneath the golden bell without any chance of escape.

As for Yan Xiu…

While he was only in the Rebirth State, the moment he had been controlled by the power of Asura and turned into a Fallen Asura, his strength could rival a Sage.

Normally, Second Elder would not find it hard to fight in a two-on-one fight. He trapped one of them and suppressed the other one. It was the style of an extraordinary fighter.

However, he ultimately still only had two arms and two legs.

When Fang Zhengzhi's extremely sharp sword came slashing down, it was no longer so easy for him anymore. When he looked at Yan Qing charging toward him, he found it even more difficult.

This was because he could not retreat!

If he retreated, the result of today's battle would be clear.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion could not afford such a defeat. Neither could he. After all, if he retreated while the Heaven Dao Pavilion possessed such an advantage, the name and glory of the Heaven Dao Pavilion would be ruined.

Hence, he could only press on.

However, no matter how hard he fought, defeat was certain. While Fang Zhengzhi's arm was severely injured, that injury was not fatal. Fang Zhengzhi was already in his Rebirth State and could use his vast Origin Energy to heal himself.

On the other side, the Heavenly Oasis Saint was like a completely different person. His fly-whisk rose and fell non-stop as he used his 'big moves', all of which required a huge amount of Origin Energy.

It was just like what Fang Zhengzhi had said. So what if he could not win? As long he ate a bit of medicine, he would become stronger.

The Heavenly Oasis Saint did indeed become stronger.

Green aura emerged from his nose and mouth. He used his 'big moves' continuously and furthermore, the green aura started to spread. It formed a green space around him.

”No, this isn't the Clear Fire Pill!” As an elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Sixth Elder was naturally a better fighter than the Heavenly Oasis Saint. If not for the 'big moves' the Heavenly Oasis Saint used non-stop, the battle would have long been over.

However, after this stalemate, he realized that something was amiss. This was because he knew that the Clear Fire Pill took its name from 'clear' and 'fire'. A clear aura would make one suppler while the 'fire' would unleash one's potential.

However, the Heavenly Oasis Saint felt that something was amiss. The energy from his body would not go away. Instead, they congregated onto each other and became thicker and thicker.

”Of course, my pill is the Heavenly Oasis Clear Fire Pill!” The Heavenly Oasis Saint said gleefully.

”But you just said that the only thing different about it is its name!” When Sixth Elder heard this, he became sullen. After all, taking such a long time to deal with an alchemist undermined his reputation.

”Actually, there's a small difference which I forgot to mention,” said the Heavenly Oasis Saint as he flicked his fly-whisk. He was trying to remember something.
