Chapter 728: Refining Demon into a Pill, Qi Sword Falls, Human Pill Completed

Li Shenghong stood beside Zhuge Ruolan, remaining silent.

That man died; thousands of years ago he should have died, yet he lived to this day, profiting greatly.

"He is dead."

Li Shenghong is also liberated, no longer needing to worry.

Both of the Qi Family's two revered ancestors are dead; those two people plagued the Qi Family bloodline for countless years. Because of them, the Qi Family descendants' bloodline could never rise. The events of that time are vivid in memory; after Li Shenghong reviewed them, they closed their eyes.

Then, they let out a deep sigh.

"Should have died long ago."

"Living to this day, it's a bargain for him."

Li Shenghong smiled; for some reason, the corners of their mouth lifted, a natural smile.

The heavy burden pressing on their heart vanished; they exhaled, and everything was over.

The Qi Family descendants can now live freely, no longer fearing those two undying elders scheming against them, nor the bloodline restriction.

From now on, the Qi Family—not just Qi Ruohua and others—can strive to improve cultivation as much as possible, bettering themselves.

The fear that had been suppressed deep within the Qi Family bloodline vanished completely.

"Holy Maiden Princess."

Li Shenghong reached out, looking at the kneeling Holy Maiden Princess. Over the years, they have stayed by the Holy Maiden's side, serving her; the Holy Maiden has been kind to them, and they hope the future will remain the same as before.

Nothing has changed, and that is the best.

Zhuge Ruolan wiped the tear stains from her face, lifted her head, and stared at Li Shenghong.

Both share the same suffering, but upon closer comparison, Li Shenghong is worse off, having been sacrificed by their own biological father to Qi Songcypress; that feeling, that pain, no one understands.

Zhuge Ruolan stood up and nodded at Li Shenghong.

"You are liberated, Li Shenghong."

"Hmm." Li Shenghong replied with a smile, turning back: "Holy Maiden Princess, you are as well."

The two exchanged a smile, each sighing in relief.

Then, they burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha ha."

"Hahaha."

The laughter echoed through the pitch‑black, gloomy space, and the foul stench remained hard to bear.

The Alchemy Furnace continued burning and smelting; the mysterious serpent inside compressed again, leaving a volume about the size of a human.

It melted into a lump of essence, with only the final step remaining.

Chen Chuyang struck a seal with his right hand, continuing to purge impurities.

Another use of Refining Ghost into Pill is Refining Demon into Pill.

At this moment, the same technique, the same divine power, was applied to the mysterious serpent.

Heishanyang stared at the lump of essence inside the Alchemy Furnace, licked its lips, and wanted to eat.

That is indeed a fine thing, a truly fine thing; the essence of the mysterious serpent and all of Qi Heaven's essence are inside, along with half of Tai Sui's flesh‑and‑blood essence—a magnitude beyond imagination.

"Kid, can you?"

"Cannot."

Chen Chuyang replied flatly: "You are already full; stop coveting my pill."

"Oh." Heishanyang lowered its head dejectedly, still unwilling to give up.

Its eyes fixed on the Alchemy Furnace, yearning to take a bite.

Chen Chuyang gave Heishanyang a dismissive glance; this pill is not for Heishanyang to eat, it is a fine item he prepared for himself.

Others cannot eat it; they also could not endure it.

Before the pill had solidified, Chen Chuyang looked at Qi Sword.

Qi Sword's body seemed to face a primeval giant beast, and a wave of killing aura slammed into him.

Body and mind collapsed instantly.

The sword was planted in the ground, struggling to support itself.

"Not fallen yet, truly a Tianwai genius, with a very stubborn will."

Chen Chuyang walked toward Qi Sword; over a short distance, he proceeded slowly.

Each step caused Qi Sword's spirit to crumble.

He nearly fell several times.

Qi Sword looked at the man before him, mustering all his strength to say: "Don't come over, you cannot kill me."

"I am a member of the Qi Family; kill me, and Tianwai's Qi Family will not let you go unpunished."

"Release me, and I will pretend this never happened."

He does not want to die.

Facing Chen Chuyang, he has no chance of victory, let alone the courage to act.

Chen Chuyang halted, offering a faint smile: "Do not fear, do not panic; not wanting to die is not impossible. Hand over all the Qi Family's techniques, as well as your Qi Family's objectives."

"Oh, right, also all the intelligence of Tianwai."

Qi Sword trembled slightly, his eyes shifting.

Chen Chuyang threatened: "I advise you not to think of deceiving me; I do not wish to perform a soul search on you."

"If necessary, I wouldn't mind doing so."

Qi Sword's complexion turned white in an instant.

Soul search—this person actually knows how to soul search.

You…… you cannot search souls, I am a member of the Qi Family; anyone who has their soul searched will be watched by the Qi Family.

You want to know the situation of Tianwai, I can tell you, but as for the Qi Family's cultivation method, sorry, I cannot say.

The Qi Family's cultivation method must not be passed on; it's the same for anyone.

If it is leaked, Qi Jian will die instantly.

Not only him, but his family will also suffer punishment.

Looks like you intend to make a last stand.

Chen Chuyang stepped forward, applying more pressure.

Qi Jian gritted his teeth: "It's not that I don't want to say, but I cannot say."

Even if you kill me, I will not say it.

Chen Chuyang laughed.

He reached out.

A suction force appeared, and Qi Jian's body flew toward Chen Chuyang.

With a pinch of his palm, Qi Jian's neck was seized.

Unable to resist, like a chick, he had no strength to fight back.

Chen Chuyang wanted to kill him as easily as killing an ant.

Qi Jian gave up hope.

You cannot kill me.

I am a core disciple of the Qi Family; if you kill me, the Qi Family will not let you off.

At this point, Qi Jian had no other recourse but to invoke the Qi Family, hoping to frighten Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang said disdainfully: "Qi Family? Do they dare come to this world?"

If they come one by one, I kill one; if they come in pairs, I kill a pair; if they dare all come down, I will slaughter them all.

He bared his teeth in a smile.

That smile was terrifying.

Qi Jian fell silent.

This world is different; no matter how angry the Qi Family gets, it's useless, they cannot send anyone down.

This time he was able to come down, but the Qi Family also paid a huge price.

Qi Jian never expected that there would be a monster like Chen Chuyang in this place.

Such a person actually reached such a terrifying level in this tiny world—unbelievable.

Kid, you still won't talk?

Qi Jian closed his eyes, awaiting death.

He cannot speak; only death awaits.

Chen Chuyang was astonished; this person had guts, among the many he had seen, he was one of the more steadfast.

In that case, Chen Chuyang also stopped wasting words.

Hum.

Pill Fire blazed.

Qi Jian's body was engulfed in flames.

Ah!

A miserable cry rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked up, staring at Qi Jian.

That scene was terrifying.

Qi Ruohua watched Chen Chuyang's back; at that moment, she felt his ruthlessness—this person was not merely smiling.

When it was time to be ruthless, he was more ruthless than anyone.

Both a compassionate heart and thunderous methods are needed.

The miserable cry lasted a moment; Qi Jian was completely engulfed in flames and tortured to death.

His entire essence condensed into a single pill.

Here you go.

The Heishanyang wisely opened its mouth and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

All of Qi Jian's essence became food for the Heishanyang.

And everything on his body naturally belonged to Chen Chuyang.
