Chapter 551: Alchemy Battle
"To be crazy, one must have the capital for it! To be arrogant, one must have the backbone to support it!"
"You, Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, believe you have overwhelming strength, and wish to oppress others with your power, to bully my Longevity Hall. Then I shall crush your Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion."
The handsome face of Chu Feng, brimming with a sharpness never seen before.
Being the reincarnation of Alchemy Venerate and having reclaimed his Nine Yang Sword Veins, now in possession of the Heavenly Divine Weapon, the Demon Slaying Sword, Chu Feng has various means and support. Faced with even the most formidable evil geniuses, he holds no fear.
As for someone like Manager Pang, who holds significant power, he is even less in Chu Feng's eyes.
"Smash it for me!"
Manager Pang ordered his guards coldly, intending to destroy Longevity Hall before discussing further. He had personally witnessed just how popular Longevity Hall was.
"Who dares to try and touch it?" Chu Feng's face was icy cold, despite only having the cultivation of a Great Sword Master, yet facing many Sword God Level powerhouses, he was completely undaunted.
As if these people were nothing but trash in his eyes.
"Slap him to death!"
Manager Pang wasn't afraid of Chu Feng's threat and immediately ordered the guards to kill Chu Feng.
The Three-star Sword God Level powerhouse immediately scowled and aimed a palm at Chu Feng. The sword light was faintly visible, and the attack surged like a stormy sea, carrying the might to destroy mountains and seas.
"Do not harm my Lord!"
The Beixie National Master stepped forward to block the onslaught aimed at Chu Feng.
However, Chu Feng was even quicker, drawing a common Divine Weapon from his back like lightning, and slashing directly at the wrist of the Three-star Sword God. He was using the Fast Sword Technique from Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.
A terrifying scene unfolded.
The Three-star Sword God seemed possessed, completely unable to defend or dodge. His face turned pale as death, utterly ghastly. It was as if he was extending his hand for Chu Feng to chop.
Crack!
Blood splattered, with a severed wrist falling to the ground and twitching continuously due to the nerves not being dead yet.
"Uh..." This person was also tough, managing to only let out a stifled grunt even after Chu Feng had severed one of his wrists.
This individual was the strongest guard brought by Manager Pang, and now he had his hand chopped off by a mere Great Sword Master. It was incredibly bewildering.
"Xiong Zhuang, what's wrong with you? Are you bewitched?" Manager Pang urgently inquired.
The other guards were also frightened, each of them stepping back to maintain a safe distance from Chu Feng.
"Boss, I've been poisoned, I can't summon the Sword Qi in my body anymore," Xiong Zhuang, the middle-aged guard with a pale face said, with cold sweat continuously breaking out on his forehead due to the severe pain.
"All of you try it, see if you can mobilize the Sword Qi within you,"
Xiong Zhuang said to the other guards.
When they tried, their faces instantly changed.
"Oh no, I can't mobilize my Sword Qi either!"
"Neither can I!"
"You little beast, when did you poison us? Give us the antidote now!"
The guards from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion were all filled with anger and fear, as they didn't even know how they got poisoned.
This youngster was too terrifying.
Fortunately, they hadn't all acted together just now, otherwise, Xiong Zhuang would not have been the only one with a severed limb.
Far from handing over an antidote, Chu Feng's face remained cold and mocking as he said, "Didn't you want to smash my shop just now? Didn't you want to slap me to death?"
"Now it's my turn to slap you all to death!"
Chu Feng advanced step by step, ominously, causing Manager Pang's face to drastically change.
"Quickly take the Detoxification Pill and retreat outside the shop!"
Manager Pang was terrified, fleeing even faster than a rabbit. Luckily, he brought many guards, and some were left outside the shop.
As soon as he escaped, someone was there to receive and protect him.
The onlooking crowd witnessed Chu Feng's poison-using prowess, increasing their respect and trust in Longevity Hall manifold.
"This young man is impressive, with God unaware and ghosts unknowing, he poisoned all guards of Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion."
"His swordsmanship is also extremely brilliant, just now with a flash of cold light, the wrist of that Three-star Sword God Level guard hit the ground. It seems Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion has really kicked an iron board this time!"
"So satisfying, truly satisfying! A bully like Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion deserves a good beating. Well done, Longevity Hall."
Listening to these onlookers, throwing words around as if in a verbal duel, nearly all were criticizing Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion. Manager Pang's face turned green with anger, fists clenched tightly, his whole body shaking.
"Despicable, utterly despicable!"
"Once my guards from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion recover from the poison, I will have the boy chopped into mincemeat."
In his heart, Manager Pang was seething with malice, swallowing an Advanced Level Detoxification Pill crafted by Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion at the first opportunity.
He thought that he could easily neutralize the poison that Chu Feng administered.
But after taking the Detoxification Pill, it had no effect whatsoever.
At this moment, Manager Pang's heart sank sharply, realizing he was dealing with an expert.
"Boy, who exactly are you?" Manager Pang asked with a dark face, in a cold tone.
"The same question, why keep asking? I'm just a humble, ordinary Pill Master from Longevity Hall. Hearing that someone came to cause trouble in our Longevity Hall, I was ordered to handle it."
Chu Feng also knew that he was very young.
If he seemed too much like an evil genius, it would easily arouse suspicion. Then, it would backfire.
It's better to pretend there's a formidable master behind him.
In this way, no matter how exceptional his performance, others wouldn't be surprised. Instead, they would speculate about just how powerful his master behind the scenes was.
This inscrutable psychological tactic was very beneficial for Longevity Hall.
After all, the only people who knew the foundation of Chu Feng were Li Shishi, Beixie National Master, and the five from Northern Domain Three Evils. As for the people of Vermilion Bird Imperial City, they had no idea of Chu Feng's true identity.
"Are you really just an ordinary Pill Master from Longevity Hall?" Manager Pang obviously couldn't believe it.
"Believe it or not!"
Chu Feng rolled his eyes in an odd manner.
"If others do not offend me, I do not offend others. If others offend me, I shall repay it a hundredfold! You have repeatedly targeted Longevity Hall and stabbed us in the back time and again. Tell me, how shall we settle this?"
Chu Feng did not actually intend to completely topple Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.
After all, it was the leading force of the Elixir Medicine World in the Vermilion Bird Imperial City.
"Humph, don't think that just because you can use poison, you can act unbridled. My Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion has been open for over a thousand years with numerous formidable Pill Masters. According to the rules of the Elixir Medicine World, let's have an Alchemy Battle."
"Whoever wins shall be the boss hereafter."
Manager Pang deliberately brought a Pill Master with him, promptly demanding an Alchemy Battle with Longevity Hall.
In fact, this is the same principle as a martial master visiting another dojo to challenge them.
If the Pill Master from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion can defeat the Pill Master from Longevity Hall, Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion's fame will rise even higher. Conversely, Longevity Hall's reputation will be ruined and tightly suppressed by Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.
And vice versa.
"Alchemy Battle? No problem! I am on a tight schedule, do we start now?" Chu Feng didn't even think before agreeing.
This was a fantastic opportunity to ascend to greatness by standing on the shoulders of a giant.
