Chapter 51

Remember for a second 【↘→】, providing you with a wonderful novel reading experience. "The power of the Condensing Pill Fire... is terrifying. 【←↘】"

Han Guang, who stood behind Zheng Dao, had a cold gaze filled with shock. He spoke with a somewhat dry throat, clearly indicating that the power of the Condensing Pill Fire was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

"Hehe, the Condensing Pill Fire is used to refine medicinal pills. Its power is self-evident. Even if they don't die, they will be severely injured. Prepare yourselves; this will be a great harvest!"

A voice filled with certainty and confidence echoed from Zheng Dao's mouth. Despite using the hard-earned Condensing Pill Fire, he felt no regret, for he knew that to gain something in this world, one must first make a sacrifice.

Whether it was Xu Qingjiao's group or the later group, their combat strength was undoubtedly formidable, especially the latter, which had eliminated twelve experts at the mid-stage of the Essence Soul Realm.

In other words, each person from both sides had at least upgraded their Hundred Cities Jade Seal to the green level, a total of twelve green Hundred Cities Jade Seals! If they could seize all of them, what a great harvest it would be!

Perhaps, by absorbing these twelve green Hundred Cities Jade Seals, their side might even upgrade their Hundred Cities Jade Seal to the final goal of the first stage... purple!

Thus, as Zheng Dao's words were spoken, the eyes of Han Guang and the other five people all lit up, filled with excitement and fervor!

"Hum" "Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

The raging fire burned for nearly a dozen breaths, the intense heat spreading, enveloping the surrounding thirty zhang. The already devastated wasteland was now turned into a scorched earth, with smoke billowing.

"Hum"

After a dozen breaths, the towering flames finally slowly dissipated, revealing the ten-zhang-wide crater that had been blasted out. The size of the crater remained unchanged, but the surroundings were pitch black, with the soil scorched to a scorching temperature. The originally three to five zhang deep crater had now extended another seven to eight zhang into the ground, demonstrating the power of the Condensing Pill Fire!

"Hum"

About ten zhang to the left of the crater, the dragon-shaped light barrier trembled continuously. Inside, Sima Ao and Lin Yingluo had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their bodies trembling slightly, and their faces pale, clearly injured. However, they were not concerned about their injuries at all; instead, their eyes were fixed on the slender figure behind them, filled with anxiety.

Mo Honglian's voice, filled with deep concern, continuously echoed within the dragon-shaped light barrier. The three sisters, who had been hidden behind the dragon-shaped light barrier, had only been affected by the terrifying flames, suffering no substantial injuries. Almost all the attacks from the terrifying flames were borne by Ye Wuxue and the other three!

"Hum"

The trembling dragon-shaped light barrier finally dissipated with a hum, revealing the three figures inside!

"Sima Young Master! Are you two alright, Yingluo?"

Seeing the dragon-shaped light barrier suddenly dissipate, Mo Honglian immediately knew that the three must be seriously injured. Mo Qingye and Mo Baiou quickly supported the trembling bodies of Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao.

"Thud"

Feeling the soft and warm embrace behind him, Ye Wuxue's head swayed slightly, his eyes half-closed, and he could not steady himself, eventually sitting down on the ground.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Wuxue felt extremely uncomfortable. A terrifyingly hot aura was circulating within his body, his blood churning, and wherever it passed, it felt like being scalded by boiling oil. The pale silver soul moon behind him was dim, and his Holy Path Battle Qi had diminished to about three or four tenths of its original strength.

With some effort, he raised his right hand, eager to take out healing pills from his storage ring. He understood that if he could not recover quickly, their group of six would be completely eliminated by Zheng Dao's group of six!

"Um"

Before Ye Wuxue could take out the healing pills from his storage ring, he suddenly felt a pill with a fragrant and cool sensation being gently placed in his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it immediately transformed into a warm stream, rapidly spreading throughout his body. A strange sensation of both coolness and warmth instantly spread through his limbs. After just two or three breaths, a new stream of Holy Path Battle Qi suddenly appeared within his body, followed by a second, a third...

Feeling the miraculous effects of the pill, a wave of bloodiness and discomfort rose in his throat, and Ye Wuxue's eyes suddenly opened!

"Spit"

A mouthful of blood was spat out from deep within his throat!

With the expulsion of this mouthful of blood, Ye Wuxue felt much better. The raging heat within his body seemed to have been expelled along with the blood, and the pill he had taken had already fully dissolved, continuously releasing powerful medicinal energy to regenerate Holy Path Battle Qi.

A delicate hand gently massaged his back, making Ye Wuxue feel very comfortable. Opening his eyes, he turned his head and saw Mo Honglian's face, as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her eyes filled with concern.

Seeing Ye Wuxue look at her, though his gaze was somewhat weary but not weak, Mo Honglian let out a slight sigh of relief, realizing that Ye Wuxue was not in serious danger.

"Are you alright?"

"How severe are your injuries?"

Just as Ye Wuxue nodded lightly to Mo Honglian, showing his gratitude, Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao's urgent voices came from behind. They clearly understood that in the raging flames, Ye Wuxue had alone withstood about seventy to eighty percent of the attacks!

"Don't worry, with the pill Mo Sister gave me, it's just a matter of time before I recover."

The powerful medicinal energy continuously spread throughout his body, generating new streams of Holy Path Battle Qi, rapidly repairing the damage caused by the heat. Ye Wuxue instantly realized that the pill Mo Honglian had given him was not an ordinary healing pill, but at least a third-grade lower-rank pill.

Suppressing his gratitude, Ye Wuxue looked around and found that the Mo sisters were unharmed, while Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao, though injured, were much less so than himself. After taking healing pills, they were also in no serious danger, though their combat strength had temporarily decreased by one or two tenths.

"Phew"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Wuxue's eyes turned deep, and he spoke softly, "The towering flames just now, as expected, were Zheng Dao's doing. This person is cunning and gives off a dangerous vibe. It seems he had already planned a two-pronged attack."

Ye Wuxue's words immediately changed the expressions of the others.

Mo Honglian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she said, "Yes, the alliance between Zheng Dao's group and Xu Qingjiao's group to attack us was just a ruse. His true intention was to eliminate both us and Xu Qingjiao's group."

"This person is ruthless and powerful, striking at the right moment. He is indeed a formidable opponent."

A cold expression crossed Lin Yingluo's face, clearly harboring a desire to kill Zheng Dao.

Lifting his head slightly, Ye Wuxue's deep gaze turned towards the direction where Xu Qingjiao's group was.

"Zheng Dao! How dare you betray me!!!"

At this moment, a voice filled with intense anger and frustration suddenly rang out. Mo Honglian's eyes narrowed, recognizing it as Xu Qingjiao's voice despite its hoarseness.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Mo Honglian, Mo Qingye, and Mo Baiou immediately moved to the front, while Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao protected Ye Wuxue on either side. All six of them focused their attention on the direction from which Xu Qingjiao's voice came.

Seeing the condition of Xu Qingjiao's group, Ye Wuxue's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with thoughts.

About three to five zhang to the right of the crater, six women were seated on the ground, their faces pale and terrifying, their breaths weak, blood trickling from their mouths, and their expressions filled with fear and despair!

Sitting at the front was Xu Qingjiao, who no longer had the proud and beautiful appearance she once had. Her black hair, which was originally tied up, was now disheveled, and her close-fitting martial dress had been torn at the shoulders and arms, revealing white skin. Though her face was pale, it had a hint of madness. In her right hand, she tightly held a damaged and dim cloud brocade silk handkerchief, her eyes, slightly bloodshot, fixed on Zheng Dao and his group as they approached step by step!

Zheng Dao, ignoring Xu Qingjiao's gaze that seemed capable of killing, smiled and said, "Xu Qingjiao, I told you long ago, in the Hundred Cities Battle, the means don't matter, only the results. To end up like this, I can only say you were too naive."

Stopping about five zhang away from Xu Qingjiao, Zheng Dao extended his right hand and said, "Will you hand over your Hundred Cities Jade Seals voluntarily, or do we have to take them by force?"

The five people behind Zheng Dao wore sinister smiles, their eyes filled with unhidden greed as they scanned the six women. Their deep silver soul moons floated, their powerful auras restrained but not released!

Seeing the malicious gazes of the other party and the trembling body of Xu Qingjiao, Sun Lanyi's frustration and anger turned into despair. She suppressed the dizziness caused by her injuries, slowly stood up, and gave Zheng Dao a strange smile.

"Attack!"

Zheng Dao's smiling face suddenly turned serious, as if he had thought of something. He took the lead, his yuan force surging, and rapidly charged towards Sun Lanyi!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

In an instant, the six figures crossed the distance of three to five zhang, launching powerful attacks towards Xu Qingjiao's group!

With all of them severely injured, Xu Qingjiao's group could not resist. Sun Lanyi and the others did not even have the chance to shatter their Hundred Cities Jade Seals before being hit by Han Guang and the others, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying a zhang away, then fainting!

Xu Qingjiao desperately tried to activate the cloud brocade silk handkerchief to defend, but it had been damaged in the explosion of the Condensing Pill Fire. Although it was a high-quality ordinary weapon, the close-range explosion of the Condensing Pill Fire was too powerful, and the handkerchief was now damaged and could not be used again.

"Zheng Dao! I, Xu Qingjiao, swear! I will never let you off! I will...!"

With a desperate scream, Xu Qingjiao followed Sun Lanyi and the other five women, being knocked unconscious by Zheng Dao.

"Annoying!"

Seizing Xu Qingjiao's storage ring, Zheng Dao glanced at the unconscious Xu Qingjiao, a flash of killing intent in his eyes: "If it weren't for the rules of the Hundred Cities Battle, you would already be dead."

"Hum, hum, hum"

Six green lights flashed, and Zheng Dao's group absorbed the seized Hundred Cities Jade Seals, then crushed them!

"Hum..."

Xu Qingjiao's group was enveloped in white light and instantly transported out of the Hundred Yuan World.

Looking at the Hundred Cities Jade Seal in his hand, now a deep green, Zheng Dao's eyes flashed with joy, then turned fierce, and he turned to look in the direction of Ye Wuxue!

"Move! There are still six people. The longer we wait, the more unpredictable things become.
