Chapter 428: Never Expect to See Chen Ajiu Again
Eric was clearly no match for Bai Ze, but of course, Tang Rao had made preparations in advance, so Eric naturally wouldn't engage in a life-and-death struggle with Bai Ze.
After a few casual exchanges with Bai Ze, Eric pretended to be blasted away by him.
At this point, Bai Ze had no time to think and just charged forward recklessly.
Three cultivators at the peak of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage plus one in the late stage—if they hesitated even for a moment, they were sure to perish.
What a joke, fighting Hao Cang alone was hard enough, and Liu Sanxing and the others were no pushovers; those guys had directly transcended through the nine Heavenly Tribulations from the pinnacle of Mahayana, truly a terrifying existence.
"Here he comes!" Mei Ziqiang was incredibly excited as Bai Ze fled in his direction.
"Brother Qiang, let's wait first. If Hao Cang and his group can take down Bai Ze, that would be for the best," said Tang Rao.
"You're right, Lao San!" Mei Ziqiang nodded rapidly.
Soon, Bai Ze charged over. Hao Cang and the others followed closely, relentlessly pursuing him.
Perhaps sensing he was about to escape the spatial lockdown, Bai Ze prepared to use a Space Rift.
Once inside the Space Rift, not even Hao Cang and the others, no matter how capable, would be able to catch up.
"Hao Cang, it seems you really want to die. Don't worry, the Soul Capture Pavilion will let you know what regret is! And the rest of you, none will leave alive!" Bai Ze threatened Hao Cang and the others with a sneer.
Hao Cang and his companions all wore mocking smiles, really thinking he could escape?
Ridiculous!
"Boom!" A muffled sound rang out.
Bai Ze's entire body halted, his eyes suddenly bulging!
Damn it!
Blast Array!
Tang Rao!
Spirit Poison!
The Seven-Cycles Ghost Luo entered Bai Ze's body in an instant, and he fiercely summoned all his Spiritual Energy, attempting to eradicate the Seven-Cycles Ghost Luo.
Unfortunately, the very reason Spirit Poison is called such is because once it enters the body, it roots itself in the Spiritual Energy. Especially powerful Spirit Poisons, their removal is extremely troublesome.
Even for a cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, it could take months or even years to completely eradicate.
Of course, it would be much faster with the help of a Spiritual Pharmacist.
However, Spiritual Pharmacists are considered one of the most scarce professions and resources in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains. To become a Spiritual Pharmacist, one must first possess a strong talent in pharmacology; you need to have enough sensitivity to medicines to engage in this work.
Next, you need a master. Without a master to guide you, what if the furnace explodes when preparing Spiritual Medicine? What if a wrong step turns it into Spirit Poison that kills you? All these are possibilities.
The last, and most important point: you need to possess the 'Fire Seed'.
It is with the Fire Seed that a Spiritual Pharmacist becomes truly powerful.
When refining mediocre Spiritual Medicines, you can make do with ordinary flames, but what about higher-level Spiritual Medicines? Some materials have a thermal resistance beyond imagination; if you can't even process the materials, how can you refine Spiritual Medicines, young man, are you mad?
"Damn it!" Bai Ze's mind exploded upon feeling the suppression of the Seven-Cycles Ghost Luo on his Spiritual Energy.
All of this, it was a trap!
But it wasn't right, the discovery of Hao Cang, it was Mei Ziqiang's people who notified him.
Could Mei Ziqiang also be involved? Or was Mei Ziqiang controlled by Tang Rao?
Soon, Hao Cang and his companions rushed up. Although Bai Ze could still use some Spiritual Energy, the suppression by the Seven-Cycles Ghost Luo was too severe, and given Hao Cang and the others' strength was also formidable, in less than half a minute, Bai Ze had been thoroughly subdued by Hao Cang and his group.
They locked down his Spiritual Energy and suppressed his Divine Sense.
Only then would Bai Ze completely lose the ability to resist.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Bai Ze, weren't you acting all tough just a moment ago?" Hao Cang smirked, holding Bai Ze with one hand and continuously slapping his face with the other.
Tang Rao definitely didn't want Bai Ze to speak. If he slipped up and aroused Mei Ziqiang's suspicion, that would be bad.
So, Tang Rao conveyed his thoughts to Hao Cang, instructing him to just kill Bai Ze outright.
"Alright, time to send you off!" Hao Cang naturally agreed. What of him being one of the Eight Saints of Soul Capture Pavilion? He dared to harm Chen Ajiu, I'm going to kill you for that.
"Tang Rao!" Just as Hao Cang was about to act, Bai Ze suddenly let out a furious roar.
"I know you're here! You can kill me, but I'm telling you, if you do, you'll never see Chen Ajiu again! Hahaha!" Bai Ze laughed wildly, full of arrogance.
What!
Both Tang Rao and Hao Cang were taken aback. What does he mean by we will never see Chen Ajiu again?
Wasn't Chen Ajiu dead?
"Tang Rao, what's going on?" Hao Cang's voice reached Tang Rao's mind.
Tang Rao's mind was also in chaos. Could it be that the master isn't dead? That's impossible, she clearly... she even used the Reincarnation Technique, how could she be alive?
But then, considering the past situation, he too was supposed to die, yet he ended up alive, didn't he?
Therefore, Tang Rao was somewhat unable to confirm.
He didn't know if Bai Ze was talking nonsense or telling the truth.
"Pretend to kill, take him away!" Tang Rao sent four words back to Hao Cang, the show for Mei Ziqiang must go on.
Hao Cang immediately understood Tang Rao's meaning. The next moment, Hao Cang took out a long knife from the Space Ring, sliced it across, piercing Bai Ze's body.
Then, he fiercely slammed his palm onto Bai Ze's head.
Bai Ze didn't even have a chance to groan before passing out.
Of course, in Mei Ziqiang's eyes, Hao Cang had directly killed Bai Ze.
"You think you can avoid death with that bullshit? Idiot!" Hao Cang spit on Bai Ze, then waved to Liu Sanxing and the others, "Let's go, we're heading back."
Saying so, the four men, along with Bai Ze's "corpse," promptly left the place.
It wasn't until they had left that Mei Ziqiang, along with Tang Rao and Liao Huxiao, stepped out.
Excitement filled Mei Ziqiang's eyes. Bai Ze was dead! Bai Ze was finally dead!
He had to share this great news with his sister!
"Lao San, let's go, hahaha, it's all thanks to you this time! That piece of trash Bai Ze will never understand that all of this was my doing! Hahaha!" Mei Ziqiang laughed wildly.
Both Tang Rao and Liao Huxiao looked at him with disdain. You did all this? You have the nerve to say that, with that little brain power of yours, you could actually achieve anything significant.
"Hahaha, Brother Qiang is so awesome!" Of course, Tang Rao naturally lavished praise upon Mei Ziqiang.
Mei Ziqiang was, of course, pleased. He was never one to refuse flattery, especially from Tang Rao.
"Lao San, actually, you're pretty awesome too. By the way, where is your Spiritual Pharmacist friend? Maybe invite him over to help me out! I'll give him an endless supply of Spirit Stones!" Mei Ziqiang said.
"He probably won't be willing. You know how it is with Spiritual Pharmacists, each one's a quirky nutcase," Tang Rao said, shrugging his shoulders.
"That's true, but I have to keep my promise. Here are three million Spirit Stones. Help me give them to him," Mei Ziqiang said as he handed a Space Ring to Tang Rao.
"Thanks, Brother Qiang, I'll try to persuade him a bit. Maybe, when the time comes, we can ask him for help," Tang Rao said.
"That would be great!" Mei Ziqiang replied with a happy face, "Best if he could produce over a hundred seven-tiered Gui Luo pills for me, then it would be awesome, hahaha!"
Tang Rao: "..."
Idiot, still hoping for over a hundred seven-tiered Gui Luo pills, do you think it's cabbage?
You should know that even those three seven-tiered Gui Luo pills took me an inordinate amount of material to produce.
Only on Blue Star could those rare herbs be collected. If it were in any of the Seventy-two Domains in the Nine Realms, who knows how many decades or centuries it would take to gather them.
