Chapter 731: Defeating Xuan Che

The moment Wang Jianqiang pressed his palm out, his entire body was instantly enveloped by an invisible force.

Upon this invisible force, strands of dark red electric light as thin as hair continuously lit up.

Accompanying every flash of the dark red electric light, a supreme aura that seemed to destroy all things permeated the air.

The white mist that seemed capable of freezing everything, the moment it touched this invisible force.

Like ice and snow under a scorching sun, it instantly melted away.

Ding~

The next moment.

Amidst a crisp clashing sound, the ice sword struck the invisible force outside Wang Jianqiang's body.

In an instant.

Those dark red electric lights that were originally leisurely and flashing from time to time seemed provoked, crazily surging toward the spot where the ice sword had struck, spreading onto the sword body.

In the blink of an eye, a large amount of dark red lightning enveloped the ice sword.

As the electric snakes danced, the tyrannical force covering the ice sword's body rapidly dissipated, and in a flash, it vanished completely.

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm.

The invisible force outside his body and the electric light on the ice sword instantly dissipated.

Having lost its power reinforcement, the ice sword fell down, hitting the ground with a clatter.

Puchi!

In the void.

A figure suddenly appeared.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, scattering across the sky, and then the figure fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Seeing this scene.

Kong Yu, who had just fled to the distance, saw her expression change.

"Brother Xuan Che!"

She looked at the figure that had fallen to the ground and could not help but exclaim aloud.

Her heart was filled with shock.

The previous two times Brother Xuan Che was heavily injured, it was because Wang Daniu was cunning and had ambushed him, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.

Therefore, her understanding of Wang Jianqiang's strength remained at her initial judgment, and she felt nothing of it.

But this time.

Brother Xuan Che had been prepared, even nearly launching a sneak attack, and had used his strongest killing move right from the start.

Under such circumstances, he had actually failed to injure Wang Daniu in the slightest, and was even injured in return by Wang Daniu!

This Wang Daniu was still hiding his strength!

His true strength was actually this powerful!

At the same time.

Xuan Che climbed up from the ground, his face full of horror.

That power just now...

That was Destruction Power; this person actually possessed a supreme treasure containing Destruction Power!

Under the erosion of the Destruction Power, what was annihilated was not just the power he had applied to the ice sword, but also the imprint he had branded into the ice sword!

It was precisely because his own imprint was forcibly erased that he was implicated.

"Impossible!"

"How can you be this strong!"

He stared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang, an expression of disbelief rising in his eyes.

Destruction Power is the power of Heavenly Punishment, and its strength is beyond doubt.

But no matter how sharp a weapon is, it must have sufficient power to wield it in order to unleash its proper might.

Having experienced the failure of the previous two rescues, he had fully learned his lesson.

This time, he had not been the slightest bit careless.

He had specifically concealed his figure, snuck over stealthily, and launched his strongest strike directly.

He had thought he could kill the opponent in one blow while catching him off guard.

He had not expected that this strike, which was sufficient to slay a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator, would not only be easily blocked by the opponent, but would even result in him being injured in return!

Such strength was simply too terrifying!

What exactly was this person's background?

Since he possessed such powerful strength, why would he be a servant in the Beast Taming Sect?

Hearing Xuan Che's voice, Wang Jianqiang chuckled, his gaze falling on Xuan Che's left hand.

He remembered that previously, Xuan Che had worn a Space Ring on each of his left and right hands.

And those two Space Rings had already been seized by him.

But now, another one had appeared on his left hand.

"A spare Space Ring?"

Wang Jianqiang's eyes brightened, and he slashed out with a palm.

A palm blade mixed with Destruction Power tore through the air.

Xuan Che's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged.

But he was still a moment too slow.

That arm wearing the Space Ring was slashed off once again.

At the wound, dark red electric currents as fine as hair surged, drilling into his body.

Wherever they passed, the vitality of his body was completely destroyed.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face revealing a look of horror.

He hurriedly mobilized the power within his body to block that Destruction Power.

At the same time, he took out a talisman paper and injected Spiritual Power into it.

The talisman paper turned into a mass of Spirit Light, shrouding him.

Seeing the other party wanting to escape.

Wang Jianqiang gave a cold laugh.

Now that he had already exposed his strength, this Xuan Che would certainly not voluntarily deliver himself to his door again.

Since he had lost his use, how could he let him leave?

He waved his palm.

Power mixed with dark red electric currents surged forth.

The Spirit Light transformed from the talisman paper instantly shattered, and Xuan Che, who was within the Spirit Light, reappeared, bleeding from his seven orifices and falling powerlessly toward the ground.

Wang Jianqiang flashed, appearing at the spot where Xuan Che's severed arm had fallen.

He put away the Space Ring on the fingers of the severed arm.

Then he looked at Xuan Che, who had already fallen to the ground, and was about to strike to kill him.

Suddenly, he saw a Spirit Medicine flash into existence a thousand feet away for no reason.

Seeing that Medicinal Herb, Wang Jianqiang was stunned, then his eyes widened.

That is...

Red Dragon Ginseng!

Red Dragon Ginseng is the core raw material for refining the Life Creation Pill, and it is also the rarest of all the raw materials.

It grows extremely slowly, producing one root hair every thousand years, and can produce at most nine root hairs.

To refine a Nine-Turn Life-Creation Pill, one must use at least a nine-thousand-year-old Red Dragon Ginseng, which is a Nine-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng.

Yet the Red Dragon Ginseng before his eyes had already become a spirit and had broken through the limits of a normal Red Dragon Ginseng.

Ten root hairs like ten slender long legs were constantly alternating, sprinting toward the distance, its speed astonishing.

Although Wang Jianqiang had previously obtained nine types of Medicinal Herbs for refining the Life Creation Pill, he had not even been able to obtain a single-tailed Red Dragon Ginseng, let alone a Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng?

At this moment.

He had almost no hesitation, directly abandoning Xuan Che and chasing after the Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng.

He was not sure when this Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng would drill back into the Array, so he had to obtain it as soon as possible.

He dared not delay for even a single instant.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang suddenly fly away, Xuan Che let out a long sigh of relief and braced his body to fly to Kong Yu's side.

"Yu'er, leave with me."

Hearing Xuan Che's words, Kong Yu shook her head with a bitter face, "I have a Restriction placed on me by that bastard Wang Daniu; I cannot disobey his orders, and I cannot leave voluntarily until the Restriction is removed."

"Brother Xuan Che, you escape first, and come back to save me later."

Hearing this, Xuan Che gritted his teeth, "Yu'er, wait for me."

After speaking, he took out another talisman paper.

Then, under the shroud of the Spirit Light transformed from the talisman paper, he disappeared.

On the other side.

Wang Jianqiang's brows were tightly furrowed.

The speed of the Red Dragon Ginseng was actually much faster than his own; after a round of chasing, not only had the distance not shortened, but he was being pulled further and further away.

Seeing that the Red Dragon Ginseng was about to disappear at the edge of his vision, a wisp of Wang Jianqiang's consciousness hurriedly entered the Spirit God Ring.

"Xiaobai, give it to me."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's urgent voice, Xiaobai did not hesitate at all and injected its own power into Wang Jianqiang's body.

Under the reinforcement of Xiaobai's power, Wang Jianqiang's speed soared.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of over a hundred miles and grabbed the Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng.

Spiritual Power surged from his fingertips, turning into several seals to shroud the Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng, and then he put it away.

Finding the most important and hardest-to-find Medicinal Herb for refining the Life Creation Pill made Wang Jianqiang's face brim with deep joy.

Immediately after, his expression stirred.

He returned along the original path at the fastest speed.

After returning to the original spot, he discovered that Xuan Che had indeed already escaped.

He shook his head, not feeling the slightest annoyance at Xuan Che's escape, but instead revealing a thoughtful look.

Xuan Che had just fallen into a desperate situation, and the Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng had appeared inexplicably.

If other Medicinal Herbs with similar value to the Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng had appeared, he might not have been so nervous.

But this medicine concerned the resurrection of Lingxi.

He dared not be the least bit careless and had to give up killing Xuan Che, turning instead to chase the Ten-Tailed Red Dragon Ginseng, thereby letting Xuan Che escape with his life.

All these things added together...

It was all just a bit too coincidental.

He pondered for a moment.

Two large characters flashed through his mind.

Destiny!

This is absolutely the work of destiny.

Relying on destiny, Ye Lingyun escaped with his life from his hands several times.

The destiny on this Xuan Che is even more exaggerated; in a situation with no path to survival, he actually managed to carve out a path to survival by relying on destiny.

After thinking everything through, Wang Jianqiang suddenly started to laugh.

Originally, he thought Xuan Che no longer had any value.

But now...

He suddenly felt that the other party seemed to have value again.

And he had already found the true use for the other party.

After coming back to his senses.

Wang Jianqiang took out a Space Ring.

This Space Ring was exactly the one he had just taken from Xuan Che's severed arm.

He looked at the Space Ring before him, his eyes brimming with deep anticipation.

Only two types of Medicinal Herb needed for refining the Life Creation Pill remained unfound.

He wondered if this Space Ring could help her gather them all.

Thinking this, he impatiently poured his Spirit Sense into it and discovered that the Space Ring contained a full thirty-plus Medicinal Herb.

After looking through the thirty Medicinal Herb one by one, he sighed inwardly.

"Only one type?"

Of the remaining two types of Medicinal Herb needed to refine the Life Creation Pill, he only found one among these.

Immediately after, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Could this be considered being ungrateful?

The raw materials for refining the Life Creation Pill were rare to begin with.

Being able to find eleven types in such a short time, with only one left to complete the set, was already an astonishing speed.

What more could he ask for?

Besides, he had already found the true use for the human-shaped Medicinal Herb harvester, so why fear not finding this last Medicinal Herb?

Thinking of this.

His mood immediately recovered.

He transferred all the items from the Space Ring in his hand into his own Space Ring.

Afterward, he looked at Kong Yu, a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and sighed softly, "Your performance this time makes me very dissatisfied."

"Wang has said before, I am a person who rewards and punishes clearly."

"Merit must be rewarded, and faults must be punished."

"Next, it is time for punishment."

Ten thousand miles away.

Xuan Che stopped fleeing.

His condition was very poor.

The Destruction Power that had invaded his body was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.

Although he had been trying his best to resist, he had only slowed the erosion of the Destruction Power and could not eliminate it.

Fortunately, he had made some gains while fleeing.

He looked at the two Medicinal Herb placed before him, a look of relief appearing in his eyes.

The two Medicinal Herb were the Spirit Blood Jade Ganoderma and the Life Fruit.

The Spirit Blood Jade Ganoderma primarily treats external injuries and can restore a severed arm.

The Life Fruit contains a vast amount of vitality, which can replenish his vitality; it is perfectly suited for wearing down the Destruction Power in his body, and furthermore, it can be consumed directly.

He swallowed the Life Fruit, and a powerful surge of vitality immediately erupted within his body.

His somewhat withered spirit was instantly invigorated, and the vitality in his body, which had been severely depleted by the attrition of the Destruction Power, was immediately replenished.

After replenishing his loss of vitality, only a small portion of the Life Fruit's medicinal power had been consumed; afterward, as the Destruction Power continued its destruction, it continuously replenished his consumption.

The two fell into a tug-of-war.

By the time the medicinal power of the Life Fruit was exhausted, the Destruction Power in Xuan Che's body had already been mostly consumed.

By now, the remaining Destruction Power could no longer cause him harm and was expelled from his body bit by bit.

Not long after.

After the last wisp of dark red electric light, as thin as a hair, drilled out from his severed arm wound and dissipated into the air.

Xuan Che slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

The Destruction Power in his body had been completely cleared, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Recalling the battle just now, his expression was one of embarrassment.

He had not expected that the servant called Wang Daniu would be so strong.

Given the other party's strength, he was definitely no match for him at the moment and could only avoid the sharp edge for now.

As for Yu'er.

He could only wait until his strength broke through to the Ninth-Order Will Stage or until he left the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm to notify the sect elders to find a way to rescue her.

Just thinking about Yu'er being controlled by others and unable to act of her own volition.

And that she had very likely been defiled, his heart couldn't help but throb with pain.

After a long while.

He took a deep breath.

It doesn't matter.

Yu'er is not here of her own volition; her heart is with him.

This is not her fault.

He cannot place this mistake upon her; the one who is wrong is that damned Wang Daniu!

Thinking of this, his expression immediately returned to one of determination.

……

Five days later.

Seeing that Kong Yu had recovered some strength, Wang Jianqiang calmly extended his palm toward her, "Hand it over."

Kong Yu's heart skipped a beat, her expression one of blank confusion, "What?"

"Hand over the treasure that can help Xuan Che locate you."

Wang Jianqiang said calmly.

"What location? I don't know what you are talking about?" A flicker of wariness flashed in Kong Yu's eyes, and she refused to admit it.

Wang Jianqiang could actually use the Beast Taming Art to control her into voluntarily handing over the thing he wanted.

But he did not do so.

It was too much trouble.

He stared at Kong Yu, the corners of his mouth curling into the smile of an honest man, "Your response makes me very dissatisfied."

"Wang has always been clear about rewards and punishments; merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished."

"Therefore, next is punishment time."

Hearing these familiar words, Kong Yu's expression changed drastically, "Master, I was wrong, I will hand the item over right now."

"Too late!"

……

Several days later.

Kong Yu, who had been unconscious for a whole day, slowly woke up.

Wang Jianqiang looked toward her, "Now, I will ask you one more time: will you hand the item over or not?"

Kong Yu had just woken from her coma, and her consciousness was still somewhat hazy.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, she was dazed for a moment and failed to react in time.

"Sigh, forget it, your bones are even harder than Wang imagined."

"Since that is the case, then continue to accept your punishment."
