Lin Xi stared coldly at the corpse of the purple-robed youth, his eyes filled with a palpable killing intent.
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed with his hand, and a black wooden box flew out.
This wooden box was the one he took from the purple-robed elder's storage ring.
Lin Xi stretched out his right hand, opened the wooden box, and a bright red pill emerged, floating in front of him.
"This is a fifth-grade pill, the Crimson Flame Pill!"
"As long as I refine its medicinal power, my cultivation will reach the peak of the Spirit Embryo Realm! Or even higher!"
Lin Xi stared at the pill, his eyes burning with increasing intensity.
"This Crimson Flame Pill, although only of the first rank, is an excellent tonic for martial artists below the ninth level of the Yuan Gang Realm. After taking it, their strength will definitely increase dramatically!" Lin Xi's face was filled with ecstatic joy.
"You little brat, how dare you ambush me!" Just as Lin Xi was getting excited, the purple-robed youth appeared silently behind him, his face full of anger.
"I knew the Purple Cloud Sect wouldn't give up on finding me, so I deliberately took the pill." Lin Xi turned to the purple-robed youth and replied indifferently, "That's right, your Purple Cloud Sect wants to get the pill formula through me, but you're too naive."
Upon hearing this, the purple-robed youth narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Heh, kid, you don't need to make excuses. I know your pills have more to do than just increase your strength, don't they?"
"A prodigy of his generation has indeed broken through to the Spirit Spring Realm in a short time!"
"So what? You're only at the third level of the Spirit Spring Realm. Do you think you can fight against someone at the sixth level of the Spirit Embryo Realm with just that level of strength?"
"Hand over the pills obediently, and perhaps I'll spare your life!" The purple-robed youth stared at Lin Xi with a sinister gaze and said viciously.
"Haha, you think you can defeat me?" Lin Xi scoffed, then said coldly, "Even someone at the seventh level of the Spirit Embryo Realm can't defeat me, let alone you?"
"However, if you try to take what's mine, I certainly won't be polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi threw the Crimson Flame Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Lin Xi immediately felt a surge of intense heat rushing into his body.
"Huh? This is... a fire-based technique?!"
Noticing the changes in her body, Lin Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
But that wasn't the end of it. The immense fire-elemental spiritual power within him was like boiling magma, raging wildly, causing his meridians to ache faintly under the influence of the scorching spiritual power, as if they might burst at any moment.
"This is?!"
Feeling his physical condition, Lin Xi's eyes flashed with surprise. He had clearly not expected the Crimson Flame Pill to produce such an unusual phenomenon.
"Hmph, looks like you're not entirely stupid after all." The purple-robed youth sneered. "Boy, you should be thanking me. If it weren't for my pills, you wouldn't have been able to advance to the Spirit Embryo Realm so smoothly, so I should thank you!"
As he spoke, a surge of power welled up in his dantian, flowing like a torrent to his limbs and bones.
Instantly, this power surged wildly around Lin Xi like a runaway horse. At this moment, Lin Xi roared to the sky.
A surge of domineering power rolled across his body like ocean waves, causing his body to swell up as if inflated, his skin hardening like scales and gleaming with a dark luster.
Lin Xi clenched his fists, his bones cracking. Each bone was covered with hideous patterns, making him look extremely terrifying, as if he were made of steel.
"Seventh level of the Spirit Embryo Realm?!"
The young man in purple robes looked at Lin Xi, and his expression changed drastically.
He never expected that, despite the Ziyun Sect's all-out investigation, Lin Xi would still be able to advance to the seventh level of the Spirit Embryo Realm!
Such speed is simply incredible.
"No matter what, our Ziyun Sect is a sect at the eighth level of the Spirit Embryo Realm. You can't escape even if you want to!"
After saying that, the purple-robed youth threw a punch.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy, like a bolt of lightning, carrying a terrifying gust of wind, swept towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's face immediately darkened when he saw this.
"Hmph, your soul attacks have some resistance to me, so you think you can defeat me with spiritual power? That's impossible!"
A fierce glint flashed in Lin Xi's eyes. He then raised his leg and stomped hard, leaving a deep, huge crater in the ground. Dust billowed up, obscuring the two people's vision.
Lin Xi stomped his foot, and the ground instantly cracked.
Then, he swung his fists and smashed them at the purple-robed youth.
"Knock knock knock!"
Fists and palms clashed, producing a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds. Visible energy fluctuations spread like ripples, tearing apart the surrounding space.
Under this violent force, rocks and soil were shattered into fragments and turned into ruins, but Lin Xi and the purple-robed youth remained standing in place, neither of them moving an inch.
"So strong!"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Witnessing this scene, the purple-robed youth in the distance twitched violently. He hadn't expected that this seemingly ordinary boy would be so powerful, and that his tyrannical strength was several times stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level.
"This can't go on. We must end the battle as soon as possible, or I will surely be defeated!"
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted, "Purple Lightning Spear!"
Driven by him, his internal energy circulated rapidly, and a spear crackling with lightning power quickly condensed under his control.
"Go to hell!"
The purple-robed youth thrust out his spear, drawing a long, thin arc, accompanied by the roar of thunder, towards Lin Xi.
After he thrust out his spear, the purple light that filled the sky transformed into sharp purple specks, which rained down on Lin Xi like a dense barrage.
Wherever the purple light passed, the earth cracked open, and five-meter-deep holes appeared under Lin Xi's feet, a truly shocking sight.
"hiss!"
Lin Xi gasped, her eyes filled with shock.
This kid is really capable. I didn't expect him to be able to advance from the fifth level of the Spirit Embryo Realm to the seventh level in such a short time.
"However, his strength is ultimately too weak, and I still have a way to suppress him!"
The purple-robed youth stared at Lin Xi, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Purple Lightning Spear!"
As he finished speaking, he roared again, and with a wave of his hand, the purple spear materialized once more. The purple electric snakes coiled around his arm flickered incessantly, emitting a strong chill.
