Thump! Thump!
Someone knocked on the door.
Gu Xuan's face disappeared in an instant.
He became mysterious again, and no one could find out his true identity.
In the next moment, even his figure disappeared.
The Paragon of Pills was the only one left in the alchemy room.
She looked at the door and clenched her fists. Anger flashed across her face, but she calmed down in the end.
With a wave of his hand, the door to the alchemy room opened with a creak.
Li Yuanhao walked in first.
Third Clan Elder, Fifth Clan Elder, and Li Yuanjie followed him into the room.
The door of the room quietly closed.
Li Yuanjie and the others looked surprised as soon as they entered the room.
Lord Gu Xuan was gone?
Didn't he want to see Li Yuanhao?
"Patriarch of the Pill Saint, what happened?
I've reached a critical point in my seclusion. With the sacred pill you gave me, I'll be able to break through to the peak realm in a few days.
Why did you wake me up now?
What a waste of a Saint Pill! Also, what happened in the Li Ancestral Land?
Weren't we supposed to be in the Eight Dragons Cauldron?
Why is the cauldron gone now?
Even the ancestral hall is exposed in the Ancestral Land. Is it to guard the ancestor's tomb? "
Li Yuanhao asked the Paragon of Pills with a face full of questions.
The Paragon of Pills looked at Li Yuanhao lovingly.
"Yuanhao, it's a long story. I'll tell you in detail later.
Let me ask you, where did Elder Zhi go after he arranged a place for you to cultivate in seclusion? "
Li Yuanhao was suspicious.
"Elder Zhi?
Hasn't he been guarding me all this time?
Elders, didn't you see Elder Zhi when you came to my place? "
The third and fifth elders looked at each other in dismay.
Shouldn't they have called Li Yuanhao here to discuss something important?
Why were they talking about Elder Zhi?
He was just a high-level saint. In recent years, his presence in the Li Family had become almost non-existent. Who cared where he was?
The Paragon of Pills shook her head.
"It seems that your alertness is really too low.
If he were to inherit the position of the Patriarch in the future, he could not do this again.
Before you went into seclusion, I clearly warned you that there was something wrong with Elder Zhi.
Unfortunately, you didn't realize it at all.
Forget it, remember this lesson! "
Her last words were like a thunderclap, causing the cauldrons in the alchemy room to hum.
Li Yuanhao, the Third Clan Elder, and the others were shocked by the voice, and their minds began to buzz.
Gu Xuan's figure silently appeared behind Li Yuanhao.
A violent aura gushed out from Gu Xuan's body like a surging wave.
He slapped the back of Li Yuanhao's head.
A sense of death instantly shrouded Li Yuanhao.
He suddenly felt that he was like a small boat in the middle of the ocean, drifting alone. His body was completely out of his control. Even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't do so.
"Patriarch of the Pill Saint Clan, be careful! Enemies! "
Li Yuanhao's heart sank to rock bottom. He knew that he was going to die beyond the shadow of a doubt. However, in his panic, he still used the last of his power to warn the Paragon of Pills.
The Third Clan Elder, the Fifth Clan Elder, and Li Yuanjie's expressions changed drastically.
They recognized that the person behind Li Yuanhao was Gu Xuan! For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through their minds. They all thought that Gu Xuan was only pretending to cooperate with the Pill Saint. Now, he had revealed his true intentions. He wanted to kill Li Yuanhao, the most talented person in the younger generation of the Li family.
They wanted to charge forward to stop him, but the aura that erupted from Gu Xuan's body was too terrifying.
It was so powerful that they didn't even dare to move! Slap.
Gu Xuan's palm had already landed on the back of Li Yuanhao's head.
The Third Clan Elder and the others all closed their eyes.
They couldn't bear to see Li Yuanhao's head explode and die a miserable death.
Li Yuanhao closed his eyes as well.
He knew that he was going to die.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened! The boundless energy from Gu Xuan's palm did indeed enter Li Yuanhao's body, but the bloody scene of his head exploding didn't occur.
Instead, an illusory figure suddenly flew out from Li Yuanhao's body. With unimaginable speed, it flashed and flew towards the Paragon of Pills! Upon closer inspection, that figure was Elder Zhi, whom the Paragon of Pills had just mentioned! "Paragon of Pills, I was the one who proposed the Saint Creation Art! After you became the Pill Saint, you were on guard against me and even sent me to the side of a child?
Did you think that I was just a dispensable high-level saint?
Wrong, very wrong! Under the guidance of the victim's master, I may not be at the Perfection Stage, but I already have the strength of a Perfection Stage expert! The victim's master promised me that as long as I could kill you, he would officially help me become a Perfection Stage expert! So, today, you will die! "
Elder Zhi's face was filled with pride. As if he was showing off, he purposely released a spiritual transmission. His voice directly exploded in everyone's minds.
"What?!"
Li Yuanhao and the others who had closed their eyes suddenly opened their eyes. They looked at Elder Zhi's illusory figure in disbelief.
Elder Zhi had already rushed to the front of the Paragon of Pills. The distance between them was less than a meter! He held an illusory short sword in his hand.
On the short sword, runes and dao rhymes revolved around it. It emitted an extremely dense aura of blood.
It was obvious that this was a sword of slaughter that had killed countless martial artists! "You want to kill me with just you?
Are you even worthy? "
A cold light flashed in the Paragon of Pills' eyes. A saint pill flickering with electricity flew out from his chest.
The saint pill trembled and a lightning net was formed in front of him.
The moment Li Yuanhao appeared outside the door, he and Gu Xuan had already sensed Elder Zhi's presence. How could they not be prepared?
Clang! The short sword pierced the lightning net. There was a metallic sound as if it had collided with an iron wall.
Elder Zhi's short sword was blocked, but he didn't look surprised at all.
"As expected of the Pill Saint. Even if you are just a fake Pill Saint and can only be considered a half-step Pill Saint, with the title of Pill Saint, you are indeed different.
Even with my sudden sneak attack, I still couldn't kill you in one strike.
However, if one strike isn't enough, two strikes should be enough! "
Elder Zhi's right hand trembled. The short sword in his hand suddenly exploded with the pure power of space and time.
Immediately, the surrounding space began to distort.
The lightning net twisted along with the space, and a fist-sized hole appeared in it.
The short sword in Elder Zhi's hand exploded with dazzling light. It shot out of his hand and through the hole, heading straight for the Paragon of Pills' forehead! "What?!"
The Paragon of Pills' expression changed.
He hadn't expected Elder Zhi to be able to use such powerful spacetime dao to forcefully distort space and the lightning net.
This was dangerous.
"Am I, the Paragon of Pills, going to die here today?"
The thought flashed through the Paragon of Pills' mind.
Elder Zhi's attack was strong, but the Paragon of Pills could easily deal with it if he had enough lifespan.
However, the problem was that he didn't have enough lifespan to begin with. He only had five days left. He could only unleash his full power once.
There were only two paths left.
Either he waited for death.
Or he burned the last of his lifespan to counterattack and kill Elder Zhi. However, the end result would be that he'd run out of lifespan and die.
The Paragon of Pills despaired.
With his remaining lifespan, he should've been able to accomplish more. He should've been able to kill more enemies.
"Stop!"
Li Yuanhao cried out and charged at the Paragon of Pills.
The third, fifth, and Li Yuanjie were scared out of their wits.
"Forget it. It's fate.
Elder Zhi, I'll let you know the true terror of a pill saint! "
Since he was going to die anyway, the Paragon of Pills' choice was naturally to unleash his full power. He'd make sure Elder Zhi didn't even have the chance to enter the netherworld to vent his anger.
Just as he was about to ignite his lifespan, a hand landed on his shoulder.
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed.
"Haven't you noticed that I've been standing here for a long time?
You actually want to ignite your lifespan? Have you lost your mind?
In terms of spacetime dao, he's far inferior to me.
Not to mention, he dared to play with his sword in front of me. He's courting death. "
Gu Xuan clasped his left hand behind his back, his expression calm. He extended his right hand and gently pinched his index and middle fingers.
The tip of the flying dagger was already caught between Gu Xuan's hands!
