Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2222: Victory Through Battle

Xiao Ping couldn’t understand why Fang Bai, who obviously could use his influence to pressure Gu He into handing over some cultivation resources, would still take the initiative to propose a battle at the War Immortal Platform with him.

Although Fang Bai’s previous display of strength suggested he could contend with Gu He, Xiao Ping still felt his actions were far too reckless and were akin to gambling with his life.

Of course, Xiao Ping had her own private concerns, as if Fang Bai were to fall at the War Immortal Platform, the happy life she envisioned would vanish, and what would follow would be Gu He’s revenge, leading to a tragic end for her.

Xiao Ping also had unresolved vengeance for her parents and did not want to fall to that fate. So she looked at Fang Bai with eyes nearly pleading, hoping he would retract his words.

In fact, it wasn’t just Xiao Ping. Other immortals also couldn’t understand why Fang Bai wanted to battle Gu He at the War Immortal Platform.

The only reason they could think of was that Fang Bai wanted to kill Gu He to seize all his cultivation resources.

But, if Fang Bai couldn’t kill Gu He and was instead killed by him, that would be stealing the chicken only to lose the rice.

Hearing Xiao Ping’s transmission, Fang Bai did not turn back; he only raised his right hand, lifted it over his shoulder, and made a victory gesture toward Xiao Ping.

"What... what does he mean by this?"

Xiao Ping stared blankly at Fang Bai’s gesture, not understanding its meaning, with a confused look on her face.

"Lead the way, to the War Immortal Platform!"

Under the eyes of all the immortals, Fang Bai spoke again, addressing Gu He.

Seeing that Fang Bai was intent on fighting, Gu He’s excitement grew, and he let out a long whistle skyward before shooting up into the sky, turning into a stream of light heading toward the War Immortal Platform.

Fang Bai’s lips curved into a mocking smile before he too flew toward the War Immortal Platform.

"Xiao Ping, watch the stall. I’ll kill Gu He for you, so you won’t have to worry about his revenge in the future!"

Fang Bai had flown several miles away before this sentence reached Xiao Ping’s ears.

"Let’s go and see what happens!"

The immortals present, who all loved a spectacle, wouldn’t miss a duel between two great alchemists at the War Immortal Platform, so they called out to their friends and flew away together.

Seeing the immortals leave, the cultivation resource exchange market quieted down. Xiao Ping had a fleeting thought: if she took the chance to flee Ice Emperor City and hide in a secret place, Gu He wouldn’t find it easy to take revenge.

However, the thought barely arose before she suppressed it.

Because Fang Bai’s transmission made it clear he was battling Gu He on the War Immortal Platform to eliminate her future troubles, leaving like that would be a disservice to Fang Bai, and even if she survived, she’d live with guilt and unease.

So Xiao Ping gritted her teeth and continued guarding Fang Bai’s stall, facing the War Immortal Platform direction and silently praying.

Several of Gu He’s subordinates remained, casting fierce glances at Xiao Ping, watching her like hawks.

Though they were certain Gu He would kill Fang Bai, they dared not act against Xiao Ping before Gu He’s return.

Both Fang Bai and Gu He wanted a quick fight, so after flying to the War Immortal Platform, they wasted no time and immediately started battling.

How long would this battle take? Who would walk off the War Immortal Platform?

As the platform’s defensive barrier enveloped Fang Bai and Gu He, the onlooking immortals began to speculate, with some even opening betting pools.

The immortals of Ice Emperor City, who had long dealings with Gu He and knew his cultivation level was a stage higher than Fang Bai’s, mostly favored Gu He, making up nearly seventy percent.

The remaining thirty percent who put their faith in Fang Bai didn’t really believe in him; they were merely gambling for luck. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

If Fang Bai won, this thirty percent would receive huge rewards.

"For Alchemist Fang to dare to challenge Gu He, he must have some ace up his sleeve. It’s hard to say who will win!"

Chiyu Immortal Venerable from Phoenix City was one of the few betting on Fang Bai to win.

"Just because Alchemist Fang might have an ace, doesn’t mean Ancient Alchemy Master doesn’t. I think Ancient Alchemy Master will definitely win!"

Rebutted an immortal who favored Gu He.

"Alchemist Fang is being a bit impulsive! He’s a genius in alchemy and artifact refining; if he falls in this battle, it would be a real pity!"

Some immortals lamented, feeling that Fang Bai had great potential and shouldn’t risk it by challenging Gu He.

A hundred breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the discussions among the immortals, they suddenly noticed that the defensive barrier of the War Immortal Platform was trembling, signaling the end of the battle between Fang Bai and Gu He, and their gazes fell upon the platform.

As the platform’s defensive barrier slowly disappeared, a white silhouette shot into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and flew back to the original Cultivation Resource Exchange Market.

On the War Immortal Platform, only a cloud of blood mist remained, which dispersed when the wind blew.

"The one who flew away was Alchemist Fang! The one who fell was Ancient Alchemy Master!"

Some immortals with keen eyesight saw that the white silhouette was indeed Fang Bai, who evidently didn’t want to linger after his victory and directly flew back to the exchange market.

"With fourth-grade Immortal Venerable Realm cultivation, Fang Bai defeated a fifth-grade Immortal Venerable Realm expert, achieving a reversal victory!"

"So formidable at such a young age, if given another hundred years, could he not be expected to become an Immortal King Realm expert?"

"If Alchemist Fang advances to the Immortal King Realm, wouldn’t he be capable of refining King Grade Immortal Pills?"

"Alchemist Fang has boundless prospects, when is a better time to build good relations with him than now?"

"I’m going to ask Alchemist Fang to refine an Immortal Pill for me!"

"I’ll also ask if this Immortal Artifact I have can be upgraded!"

...

The immortals gazed toward where Fang Bai disappeared, and then, clamoring, they followed his trail back to the exchange market.

In the cultivation resource exchange market, Xiao Ping was praying for Fang Bai with her eyes closed at his stall.

Suddenly, she sensed a familiar presence, opened her eyes, and saw Fang Bai smiling in front of her.

"Alchemist Fang!"

Seeing Fang Bai return unharmed, Xiao Ping’s nose tingled, tears suddenly welled up, and she called out with a trembling voice, finally setting her anxious heart at ease.

"Gu He has been killed by me, you won’t need to worry about his revenge anymore. It seems you received quite a few materials just now? Let’s continue with our alchemy and artifact refining!"

Fang Bai said casually before returning to the Pill Room, and then signaled for Xiao Ping to bring in the gathered materials.

Xiao Ping gave a heavy "Mm," wiping her red and tear-filled eyes, and with an indescribable joy in her heart, brought the sorted materials into Fang Bai’s Pill Room and then exited to continue guarding his stall.

Moments later, the immortals returned to the exchange market, and soon, thousands of immortals gathered in front of Fang Bai’s stall.

Fang Bai’s reputation soared after his hundred-breath victory against Gu He on the War Immortal Platform, drawing immortals to his stall - some to request the refinement of Immortal Pills and Immortal Artifacts, and others just hoping to exchange a few words with Fang Bai.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ping, running errands and doing chores for Fang Bai, suddenly found herself an object of favor with the immortals, all hoping she might put in a good word for them with Fang Bai.

Xiao Ping, paying no mind to those immortals, stood there gracefully, once again envisioning a beautiful future.
