Chapter 33: Eye-Sore

Liang Chen, Qian Yu, Niu Shouren, and Chen Jiaojiao stared straight at Wang Jianqiang.

The four of them were filled with greed, as if they were looking at a walking Spirit Stone vein, and were incredibly excited.

After leaving the Jade Birthplace, they had been traveling along the way.

Not long ago, they suddenly sensed the fluctuations of a great battle.

The aura faintly emanating from it was incomparably powerful, enough to make even Liang Chen and Qian Yu feel somewhat alarmed.

Thinking of their own lives, the four did not want to be dragged into a battle of this level, so they decided to take a detour.

They deliberately bypassed that battlefield.

But they never expected that just after circling to the rear of the battlefield, they would run into Wang Jianqiang.

It truly was a case of "searching high and low, only to find it without any effort."

It seemed that even the heavens were helping them.

"What do you want?"

Seeing the malicious expressions on the four people's faces, Wang Jianqiang frowned and took a step back.

"Wang Jianqiang, you probably don't know yet, do you? Your secret has already been exposed."

Niu Shouren sneered.

The secret was exposed?

Wang Jianqiang was stunned.

His first reaction was the system.

Immediately afterward, he realized something.

That's not right.

The system was in his own mind; no one could see it but him.

And even if he wanted to let others see it, they couldn't; how could it be exposed?

Could it be...

Was the matter between him and Chen Jiaojiao discovered?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Jiaojiao.

He immediately dismissed this possibility.

If his affair with Chen Jiaojiao had been discovered, how could Niu Shouren be so calm?

Even if he were thick-skinned, he couldn't possibly mention it in public, right?

Although his name was Niu Shouren, it didn't mean he was a "bull-headed man."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's bewildered face,

the sneer on Niu Shouren's face grew even more intense.

"Wang Jianqiang, your acting is quite good."

"However, I have long known about you helping Wang Yu Yao break through; it's useless for you to deny it."

"If you can honestly hand over that method that allows people to break through quickly, we might consider sparing your life."

Wang Jianqiang was stunned again.

Then his expression became strange.

He looked at Chen Jiaojiao.

Without a doubt, the matter regarding Wang Yu Yao must have been spread by her.

She and Wang Yu Yao often went to find him.

Although they had never competed in the same arena, they had bumped into each other a few times, and she must have guessed something from that.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, a flash of hatred appeared on Chen Jiaojiao's face.

"That's right, your secret was spread by me."

"Wang Jianqiang, you clearly have a method to help people break through, yet you didn't help me, your niece by marriage, and instead benefited Wang Yu Yao, an outsider; you've gone too far!"

I've gone too far?

Wang Jianqiang looked at her indifferently, not even bothering to refute.

"Alright, let's end the reminiscing here."

Just then, Liang Chen suddenly spoke.

He looked at Chen Jiaojiao and Niu Shouren, "This place is too close to that battle zone; it's not suitable to stay long. Getting down to business is what matters."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Jianqiang again, "You already know our goal; now, hand over the breakthrough method."

"If I hand over the breakthrough method, will you let me leave in one piece?" Wang Jianqiang said.

Liang Chen chuckled, "Your cheap life isn't worth much; if you can cooperate honestly, it's not impossible to spare your life."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "The method is very simple: it is Alchemy. I am a very talented Alchemist."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Liang Chen's expression instantly turned gloomy, "Are you saying that the reason Wang Yu Yao was able to break through from Qi Refining level 6 to Qi Refining Perfection in half a year is because she ate the Pills you refined?"

"Are you old thing taking me for a fool?"

He felt that Wang Jianqiang was playing him for a fool.

A big piece of trash famous in the Outer Sect claiming to be a "very talented Alchemist"!

Who are you trying to fool?

He would rather believe that a pig in the mortal world could cultivate to become an immortal than believe such nonsense.

Chen Jiaojiao and Niu Shouren also sneered repeatedly.

They naturally knew Wang Jianqiang could refine pills, but his meager alchemy attainments were simply not worth mentioning.

It was even more impossible for them to have such an unbelievable effect.

Not to mention the Pill refined by his meager alchemy cultivation, even the world's top-tier First-Tier Pill absolutely does not have this kind of effect!

"This old fellow seems to be a bit dishonest."

Qian Yu chuckled.

A wave of spiritual pressure instantly enveloped Wang Jianqiang.

If it were normal times, spiritual pressure at the level of Qi Refining Perfection would be unable to affect him at all.

But now, the Spiritual Power within his body was nearly exhausted, and for a moment, he found it difficult to resist.

His face turned pale, and his waist bent down.

This scene, seen in the eyes of the four, happened to match the sect trash in their impressions.

Qian Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang indifferently, "I will give you one more chance to reorganize your words."

"Everything I said is the truth."

Wang Jianqiang straightened his waist with difficulty and smiled.

These days, no one believes you even when you tell the truth.

The fact that he could refine a Perfect First-Grade Pill was not a secret.

It was just that no one had specifically publicized this matter; the only ones who knew about it were Dong Yue, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and a few others.

Qian Yu shook his head and smiled at Liang Chen, "This old fellow really has a stiff mouth."

Liang Chen sneered, "Stiff mouth? Then I want to see whether his bones or his mouth are harder!"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his palm, "Old fellow, since you insist on seeking death, then I can only kill you and then personally refine your soul."

While speaking, a cluster of Spirit Light rapidly gathered between his palms and fingers.

"Senior Brother Liang Chen, don't!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Jiaojiao's expression struggled for a moment, then she gritted her teeth and blocked in front of Liang Chen.

"Senior Brother Liang Chen, you promised me you would spare his life."

Liang Chen glanced at her indifferently, "Get lost."

Chen Jiaojiao's face turned pale, "Senior Brother Liang Chen..."

"Get lost!"

Liang Chen snorted coldly, his Spiritual Power mixed into his voice, slamming into Chen Jiaojiao like a heavy hammer.

Chen Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and her whole body flew out.

"Jiaojiao!"

Niu Shouren's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "What are you doing? If that old fellow dies, he dies; what does it have to do with you?"

"Go to hell!"

At the same time, without Chen Jiaojiao's obstruction, Liang Chen's palm reached out directly.

A Spirit Palm Print condensed from Spiritual Power broke through the air.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jiaojiao's expression was complex.

She only purely wanted to obtain the method of breakthrough; why did things develop to this point?

Thinking of Wang Jianqiang about to perish under this strike, she closed her eyes, unable to bear it.

On the other side, the Spirit Palm Print rapidly arrived through the air, appearing in front of Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang's expression was solemn, and Spirit Light flashed on his body.

An exquisite long dress was already draped over his body.

On the long dress, water waves rippled, and a moon shadow emerged.

Bright moonlight shone out from within the long dress, enveloping his body within it.

Bright moonlight, a hazy figure.

The Artistic Conception was beautiful, it was just that the image of an old man wearing a dress was a bit of an eyesore.

A Perfect Intermediate Magical Tool not only has power comparable to a High-grade Magical Artifact, but it also has another advantage: it consumes less.

Its consumption is only equivalent to an ordinary Intermediate Magical Tool.

Wang Jianqiang now had little Spiritual Power left in his body, not enough to activate a Perfect Advanced Magical Tool, but he could barely activate a Perfect Intermediate Magical Tool.

But in the end, it was only barely activated, and its power could not be fully displayed.

Bang!

After the palm print came into contact with the moonlight.

The moonlight shattered inch by inch, and Wang Jianqiang spat out blood, flying backward.

"It's that High-grade Magical Artifact of Wang Mengyao's!"

"She actually lent a High-grade Magical Artifact to you!"

Seeing that exquisite long dress on Wang Jianqiang's body, Liang Chen and Qian Yu did not find this eyesore scene funny, but instead revealed looks of astonishment.

How precious is a High-grade Magical Artifact?

Like the two of them, each only possessed one.

That Wang Yu Yao was actually willing to lend it to someone!

"So what if it's a High-grade Magical Artifact? No matter how strong a Magic Tool is, it must rely on the user's strength. You are so weak, how much of its power can you display?"

"Today you still cannot escape death!"

Liang Chen sneered and struck out with his palm again.

A more condensed Spirit Palm Print rushed toward Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang said nothing and waved his palm.

A pair of shoes.

They flew toward Liang Chen and Qian Yu, one from the left and one from the right.

The next moment, he stirred his thoughts.

Both shoes were detonated simultaneously.
