Chapter 147: One Careless Move and You Could Die

A person's energy is limited.

The path of Alchemy is notoriously time-consuming.

Therefore, Alchemists rarely fight, lack combat experience, and have even less time to practice combat techniques.

They are a group with relatively weak combat capabilities.

Their strength is often much weaker than that of Cultivators of the same level.

It was precisely because of this inherent perception that they had not valued Wang Jianqiang from the start.

They had never even considered that Wang Jianqiang would dare to take the initiative to attack them after sensing their powerful auras.

So much so that, under Wang Jianqiang's sudden strike, not one of the three could react in time.

Boom~

Amidst a booming sound.

Rong Hai's protective Spiritual Power was shattered by a punch from Wang Jianqiang; he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body sent flying backward like an arrow.

The moment he made his move, Wang Jianqiang had already secretly alerted Tu Youyou and Mo Wuming.

The instant he acted, the two reacted immediately, charging toward the direction Wang Jianqiang had indicated.

The direction they flew was neither off-center nor biased; it was exactly the direction in which Rong Hai was sent flying.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, their eyes lit up, and without hesitation, they each unleashed their Flying Swords to stab at Rong Hai.

At this moment, Rong Hai's protective Spiritual Power had already been shattered by the force of Wang Jianqiang's punch, and he could not even control his own body.

Facing the two's attack, he had no ability to resist and could only widen his eyes in terror, watching as the two Flying Swords pierced his body.

Puchi~

Puchi~

Blood splashed as Rong Hai's head and chest, both vital points, were pierced simultaneously.

At the same time, He Yaoguang and Min Zhangkong finally reacted.

Swish!

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly entered He Yaoguang's ears.

His expression startled, and he pressed his palm forward without hesitation.

A White Jade Shield instantly appeared.

The next moment, Wang Jianqiang flashed out and smashed a fist onto the White Jade Shield.

The violent force sent the shield flying, which then collided with He Yaoguang.

Puchi~

He Yaoguang spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward for over a hundred feet before stopping with a pale face.

He looked at his somewhat sunken chest, felt the waves of sharp pain coming from it, and felt a lingering fear.

That was close!

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and deployed his strongest defensive measure in time, he would likely have followed in Rong Hai's footsteps by now!

Min Zhangkong looked at He Yaoguang; while shocked by Wang Jianqiang's formidable strength, his expression could not help but sink.

"Shameless scoundrel, actually launching a sneak attack!"

He let out a cold shout, a black light flashed in his hand, and a Black Dragon Spear appeared.

Spirit Light erupted from the tip of the spear.

He thrust the spear toward Wang Jianqiang.

Facing this sharp spear radiance, Wang Jianqiang's expression did not change in the slightest.

He clenched his fist again, and Spirit Pattern Power gathered upon it.

He threw a punch.

Boom!

Amidst an explosive sound, violent energy scattered in all directions.

Wang Jianqiang did not budge an inch.

Min Zhangkong, however, was sent flying back over ten feet before barely stabilizing his figure.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his expression grave to the extreme, "I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable; I underestimated you!"

"Your strength isn't bad either."

Wang Jianqiang rubbed his fist.

On his fist was a shallow mark, caused by the spear radiance of Min Zhangkong.

Now, with his Spirit Pattern Power fully unleashed, ordinary Golden Core Perfection Cultivators could not break his defense at all.

The previous Wu Dao was an example.

Yet this Min Zhangkong was able to barely leave a scratch on his fist.

From this, it could be seen that his strength was indeed much higher than that of an ordinary Golden Core Perfection Cultivator.

It was just that this scratch was too light.

Wang Jianqiang did not even need to deliberately circulate his Pure Yang Power to heal, and it vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that his full-force strike could not even injure the opponent in the slightest, Min Zhangkong's pupils could not help but shrink.

"What a strong physical body!"

Following that, he could not help but feel a bitter smile in his heart.

This Wang Jianqiang had simply shattered the common perception of an Alchemist.

An Alchemist who doesn't focus on Alchemy, but has switched to body refining instead!

Do you have so much damn free time?

Are you not afraid of delaying your Alchemist cultivation?

He looked at He Yaoguang behind him, and a desire to retreat appeared in both of their eyes simultaneously.

Just as the two were preparing to retreat, several powerful auras suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Sensing the familiar auras coming from the horizon, Min Zhangkong's eyes lit up, and he instantly dismissed his desire to retreat.

Not long ago, he had received a message from Tianxingzi.

He learned that Wang Jianqiang had entered the North City District and also knew the specific location of the other party.

He was very clear that many people had purchased information about Wang Jianqiang from Tianxingzi, and it was not easy to get a share of the spoils among them.

That was why he joined forces with He Yaoguang and Rong Hai, attempting to capture Wang Jianqiang before others arrived.

In this way, even if others arrived later and they could not exclusively possess this top-tier Alchemist, Wang Jianqiang,

they could still occupy the initiative and obtain the greatest benefits.

Originally, he did not hope for others to arrive too early.

But he never expected, even if he died,

that Wang Jianqiang, who Tianxingzi said was only at the Golden Core Initial Stage, would have cultivated such a terrifying physique!

Relying solely on their strength, let alone capturing Wang Jianqiang, it would be good enough not to be beaten to death by him.

Therefore, upon seeing that others had arrived,

his heart felt not the slightest resistance or unwillingness, but rather a surge of excitement.

Wang Jianqiang's strength was too great.

Only with the arrival of other experts and by joining forces would there be a chance to capture him.

The prerequisite for all benefits was to capture Wang Jianqiang; otherwise, it was all just empty talk.

Beside Min Zhangkong, He Yaoguang's thoughts were much the same.

After sensing the auras coming from afar, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Unlike the excitement of the two, Mo Wuming and Tu Youyou felt deep worry flash across their faces after sensing the auras coming from the horizon.

Their figures flashed, and they returned to Wang Jianqiang's side.

In just a brief moment, four figures shot over at an astonishing speed.

After seeing the faces of the four clearly, the expressions of Mo Wuming and Tu Youyou changed completely.

Second on the Battle Stele, Bai Wuqing.

Third on the Battle Stele, Nancheng Kong.

Fourth on the Battle Stele, Luo Chen.

Sixth on the Battle Stele, Mu Xiao!

Added to Min Zhangkong, He Yaoguang, and the deceased Rong Hai and Wu Dao.

Today, eight of the top ten experts on the Battle Ranking had actually arrived!

After the four arrived, they directly ignored Mo Wuming and Tu Youyou, their gazes falling upon Wang Jianqiang.

When they saw Wang Jianqiang's tall physique and the Golden Light circulating around his body, they all revealed looks of surprise.

"This person is Wang Jianqiang? The number one Alchemist in Shenfeng City?"

"It seems he has also cultivated a Body Refining technique!"

"As an Alchemist, he actually cultivated a Body Refining technique?"

"Interesting~"

The four looked Wang Jianqiang over with great interest for a while, then their gazes shifted to Min Zhangkong and He Yaoguang.

"Min Zhangkong, He Yaoguang, you two arrived fast enough. What? Do you want to swallow this number one Alchemist of Shenfeng City all by yourselves?" Bai Wuqing said indifferently.

After Bai Wuqing spoke, Nancheng Kong, Luo Chen, and Mu Xiao did not speak, but they all revealed expressions of dissatisfaction at the same time.

Hearing this, Min Zhangkong and He Yaoguang looked at Wang Jianqiang, their expressions somewhat awkward.

They had indeed harbored this intention, but the process had completely exceeded their expectations.

Min Zhangkong was silent for a moment, looked at the four, including Bai Wuqing, and a grave voice was delivered out.

"The four of you, let's put other things aside for now."

"I advise you to be serious; this Wang Jianqiang is not the little lamb you imagine him to be."

"If you are not careful... people will die!"
