A flame burned fiercely under the bronze furnace on the ground, and white mist rose from the bronze lid.

Guan Yujia was lying on the ground. His exploded spine dyed his back blood-red. He didn’t move for a long time, and several people were standing silently around him.

Ye Jingtang pressed his hand on the hilt of his saber to maintain a stance of responding to the enemy. Although he had expected something to happen to Guan Yujia, he really didn’t expect him to die so heroically and silently.

After a long silence, Apothecary Zhang Jinglin, who was standing behind Bai Siming, spoke first. “Hmm… Hero Guan might have been injured. While he was recovering, he forcefully strengthened his qi, causing his spine to explode and his meridians to shatter, so he died on the spot. To be able to step into the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man shows that this medicine is still effective…”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present recovered from their shock.

Yao Wenzhong turned around and looked at Bai Siming in disbelief. “He died just like that?!”

Xuanyuan Hongzhi raised his hand and gestured for Yao Wenzhong to stay away from the medicinal furnace. “Be careful of the furnace exploding… Rebelling like this is really the biggest joke in the world…”

Bai Siming also didn’t expect the Little Fist Chief, who had dominated Wu Province for more than ten years, to die so spectacularly and silently. He opened his mouth and moved away from the medicinal furnace.

Ye Jingtang wanted to say, ‘You reap what you sow’, but Guan Yujia’s death was so ridiculous that it wasn’t easy to say it. After some thought, he only commented, “Medicine is thirty percent poison. You still have to listen to the words of elders. Sigh…”

Before everyone could calm down, there was another commotion beside the medicinal furnace.

Whoosh, whoosh…

When the time was up, Zhang Jinglin opened the bronze medicinal furnace.

There was a golden needle hanging upside down at the bottom of the bronze lid. At the end of the golden needle, a bead as white as a jade pearl had condensed, shining with a watery luster.

Zhang Jinglin flipped over the bronze lid and placed the round bead in it. “This is the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. If there’s a problem with the formula, it’s impossible to condense the bead. This bead can definitely allow you to correct your foundation and increase your internal energy greatly. Whoever takes it will be the next Feng Guancheng…”

Seeing was believing. No one listened to this endless bragging. Even the eight guards quietly distanced themselves. They were probably afraid that the crazy Zhang Jinglin would throw the medicinal bead at them.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong were no longer interested in this medicine. They glanced at the medicine book in the guard’s hand.

Ye Jingtang wanted both, but facing the remaining three experts, he couldn’t act rashly.

Bai Siming knew that the Prince of Wu’s only bargaining chip was the formula for the Snow Lake Powder. He went forward and grabbed the medicine book back. “Whoever between the Red Flower Pavilion or Jun Mountain Terrace can lend a helping hand to His Highness will get this medicine book…”

Yao Wenzhong said coldly, “Our Jun Mountain Terrace has a marquis of Great Wei. How can we commit treason? Guan Yujia is already dead. Throw out the medicine book and let the three of us fight for it, and you can still escape. Otherwise, we can kill you first before taking the book.”

“You!” Hearing this, Bai Siming was instantly enraged. Seeing that Yao Wenzhong had shed all pretense of cordiality, he gritted her teeth and directly abandoned the medicine book and the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. He even threw the book and the bead at Ye Jingtang before grabbing Zhang Jinglin and flying into the mountains.

Swish! Swish!

The medicine book and the Heavenly Carnelian Bead drew a parabola in the air.

Ye Jingtang knew that this was a tactic to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, but it was impossible for him not to catch the items flying toward him. He immediately rushed forward.

Boom! Boom!

Almost at the same time, a powerful explosion sounded not far away.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong grasped the hilts of their sabers behind their right shoulders at the same time. Their bodies trembled as they bent down and carried their heavy sabers on their backs. Their figures sped forward, and their two sabers slashed at Ye Jingtang from the left and right.

Both of them were experts of Jun Mountain Terrace, and they used the Jun Mountain Saber that weighed 54 kilograms. When they slashed the sabers with all their might, the force they released could be said to destroy mountains and overturn seas. The powerful wind instantly disturbed the furnace fire and tore off the surrounding leaves.

Ye Jingtang had moved at full speed earlier, so his spear was hidden in the forest. It was impossible for him to defend against two people at the same time with the two-kilogram Hornless Dragon Saber. He immediately grabbed the medicine book with his right hand and swept the white bead that had just approached high into the air.

Swoosh!

Ciang!

The next moment, a cold light flashed in the forest.

While Yao Wenzhong and Xuanyuan Hongzhi were distracted by the flying Heavenly Carnelian Bead, Ye Jingtang unsheathed the saber in his left hand and drew a dazzling white light.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Jingtang flashed in front of Xuanyuan Hongzhi with his saber in one hand. He used Xuanyuan Hongzhi’s body as a shield to block Yao Wenzhong’s saber and pressed his elbow against the back of his saber to block Xuanyuan Hongshi’s heavy slash.

Dang!

Amidst the sparks, the heavy saber in Xuanyuan Hongzhi’s hand slid to the left as expected.

But the power of the true Jun Mountain Saber was too great, and Xuanyuan Hongzhi wasn’t just a scheming, profligate son. He slashed down with all his might, instantly causing Ye Jingtang’s upper body to tilt.

But even so, Ye Jingtang still brushed past him. The moment the heavy saber slid past him, he slashed horizontally, and the tip of his saber landed on Xuanyuan Hongzhi’s shoulder.

Crack!

Blood splattered!

The three figures passed by each other and instantly separated by dozens of feet.

After Ye Jingtang passed the two of them, he ran forward without looking back, caught the falling Heavenly Carnelian Bead halfway, and darted into the forest. “The Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade?” Xuanyuan Hongzhi had a bone-deep wound on his left arm, and blood was seeping out. But he ignored it and stared fixedly at the Hornless Dragon Saber in Ye Jingtang’s hand!

Yao Wenzhong’s eyes were also full of surprise. “It turns out that Zhou Huaili was killed by the Red Flower Pavilion.”

Since they had confirmed the target of this trip, they had to settle the old and new enmities together. There was no point in saying anything more.

The two men carried their heavy sabers and ran wildly through the forest, chasing after Ye Jingtang, who was trying to escape after snatching the treasures.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

The branches and leaves in the forest flew everywhere as three black shadows dashed nearly a thousand feet away in moments.

Although Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong were chasing with all their might, the two of them were carrying heavy sabers weighing 54 kilograms and were rather burly. There was a gap between their speed and Ye Jingtang’s..
