Chapter 150: Big Brother's Sneak Attack, Finally Lying Down

A full day and a half—how could an ordinary person's body survive inside the alchemy furnace?

That flame is pill fire evolved from earth fire; its temperature, in every aspect, far surpasses earth fire.

What cultivation does big brother have? His body is only somewhat stronger than an ordinary person's; no matter how strong, it's still a mortal flesh—how could it withstand the burning of earth fire, let alone a full day and a half? Even a demon beast, if burned by earth fire for a day and a half, would leave not a trace.

Yet big brother is still alive—is it because his body is too strong, or because Chuyang brother's pill fire lacks power?

Take her, for example—she dare not directly endure the pill fire's burning; she needs the pot's blockage and Chuyang brother's control to barely withstand that temperature. Now her bodily strength has increased, she can endure it a bit longer.

"Chuyang brother, why don't you open the lid and see how big brother is? I'm afraid he...?"

If he's not dead, that's fine; if he's dead, it'll be troublesome.

Shang Hongxue worried and frightened—this concerns Chuyang brother's reputation and future.

Chen Chuyang comforted, saying: "No need, let him out after another two hours."

"Alright."

Seeing Chuyang brother's firm resolve and not loosening his mouth, Shang Hongxue stopped pressing him; though Chuyang brother had a plan in mind, she remained worried, constantly watching the alchemy furnace for any sign, only to be disappointed that she could see nothing.

Without Spiritual Sense, she could only rely on feeling to look and listen; inside, Chen Chusheng made no sound at all, as if he were dead.

Half an hour later.

Shang Hongxue spoke again: "Chuyang brother, your big brother seems to have no movement—could he be dead?"

"No, he's still alive."

"Oh."

Another half hour.

Shang Hongxue worriedly asked: "Chuyang brother, why don't we open it and take a look? Just one glance—if big brother really died, it would be troublesome."

She was afraid, not daring to bear such consequences.

Chen Chuyang pressed down his hand: "Alright, little girl, don't worry, my big brother is still alive."

"Come, sit by my side, don't worry about him."

"Oh."

Shang Hongxue stepped back step by step, finally sitting beside Chen Chuyang, yet she remained worried.

Her eyes stayed fixed on the alchemy furnace, fearing that Chen Chusheng inside had died.

Regarding her worry, Chen Chuyang neither spoke nor explained, but kept watching, his Spiritual Sense penetrating the alchemy furnace, continually monitoring big brother's condition; big brother adapted to the temperature, his bodily strength rapidly increased, no longer the initial weakness.

After the medicinal liquid repaired him countless times, big brother's bones adapted to the temperature; the pill fire's burning could not quickly destroy his bodily structure, and big brother began to sit up and cultivate.

Breathing the scorching aura of the pill fire, his body also reacted rapidly.

These changes were within Chen Chuyang's expectations; big brother endured.

First step, he accomplished it.

One hour later.

Chen Chuyang opened the lid and let big brother out; big brother lay on the ground, gulping fresh air, lying there like a dead fish, with no strength left, his cultivation state ended, feeling the spiritual qi of Longshe Shan invading, those spiritual qi continually streaming into his body, altering his flesh, meridians, and five viscera.

All bodily structures were changing, a process needing time; Chen Chuyang walked over and forcibly stuffed a Hundred Herbs Pill into him; after the pill entered his mouth, big brother's bodily response became even faster.

His flushed body began to dim, blood qi rose and surged, then retracted inward.

Heaven and earth's spiritual qi also rushed toward him in a swarm; this change resembled a breakthrough.

After the burning of an incense stick.

Big brother's cultivation broke through, directly advancing from the Second Layer of Qi Transformation to the Third Layer of Qi Transformation.

The breakthrough in cultivation restored him a bit of vitality.

Big brother didn't have time to be excited; he rose and launched a surprise attack on Chen Chuyang.

Clenching his fist, he smashed it straight toward Chen Chuyang's face.

Shang Hongxue still wanted to explain a sentence or two, but it was already too late.

Chen Chuyang slowly raised his hand, his palm catching the fist; big brother's attack wasn't over—one fist was seized, and a second fist followed immediately.

That fist was thrown with all his strength; one can imagine how furious he was.

"Bang."

That fist was likewise caught; Chen Chuyang forcefully flung him, and big brother unluckily flew out, heavily smashing onto the ground.

Big brother, lying prone on the ground, resembled a pug dog.

How miserable.

Seeing this, Shang Hongxue blinked, and besides blinking, she just kept blinking.

Chen Chusheng, unconvinced, got up again, clenched his fist and attacked.

The fist wind was swift, one punch after another.

Only phantom fists could be seen; they struck at empty air, unable to touch Chen Chuyang in the slightest.

After attacking continuously for a quarter hour, Chen Chusheng saw that he still couldn't touch Chen Chuyang, as if his fists had grown eyes, automatically dodging his brother; he grew tired and depressed.

"I won't fight, I won't fight—how exactly did you manage this?"

His speed, his attacks, his fists—clearly already fast—yet why can't he hit his brother?

His brother's strength obviously looks weak, so why is he himself in such a sorry state?

Even after his cultivation breakthrough, he still couldn't touch Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chusheng was very depressed and also helpless.

"Just having hands is enough, big brother—you're just too weak."

As soon as those words were spoken, Shang Hongxue's eyes kept blinking; Chuyang brother is really good at showing off.

He's truly too showy; he'll get beaten up.

As expected, Chen Chusheng approached again, ready to strike, and launched a sneak attack.

This time, he found an opportunity and wanted to take revenge; this younger brother actually locked him inside the Alchemy Furnace to burn him, for a day and a half, a whole day and a half—who knows what he went through?

Calling to heaven brings no answer; calling to earth brings no aid.

No matter how he cried for help, it was useless; the younger brother simply wouldn't let him out.

He even knelt on the ground pleading, but this younger brother acted as if he couldn't see, thinking he was just putting on an act.

His voice had gone hoarse, yet the younger brother remained the same, continuing to burn him, giving him not a shred of mercy.

He didn't know how many times he had despaired, thinking he was dead; this threat of death enveloped him, making him suffocate.

If it weren't for his perseverance, if it weren't for his strong will, he probably…

He must take revenge; he must deal harshly with him.

But the facts dealt him a heavy blow.

"Bang."

Chen Chusheng's last sight was a foot; a kick to the face sent him flying three meters.

Like a toad with sores, he lay prone on the ground.

His whole body couldn't move.

He was truly in pain.

That kick struck his artery; after a while, Chen Chusheng eased up and met his younger brother's eyes.

The younger brother was mocking him.

"Older brother, don't make a move; if you do again, I can't guarantee you'll be able to stand up."

"My poor older brother, don't lie on the ground; the ground is cold, bad for your health."

Chen Chusheng: "……"

He fell silent directly.

He remained silent in place.

Lying on the ground, he didn't want to speak.

And Shang Hongxue, hearing those words, looked at Chuyang with doubt; the words' lethal power was truly immense, undoubtedly stabbing Chen Chusheng's heart directly, almost sending him to heaven.

Few could endure such mockery; at least she could not bear it.
