Jing Zhe glanced at the man in the straw hat again.
He was about forty or fifty years old, and his all-black outfit was stretched taut over his body, which showed how good his physical condition was.
What surprised Jing Zhe even more was that his cultivation level was the same as his own yesterday, also at the peak of the sixth level!
No wonder he's the disciple of the Soul-Severing Fan; no wonder he can kill for the Soul-Severing Fan in the martial world!
Seeing Jing Zhe frown and scrutinize the man in the bamboo hat, Duanhun Shan felt a surge of smugness.
The man in the straw hat was the only disciple of the Soul-Severing Fan, and also his most prized disciple.
Since becoming a Grandmaster, he has lost much interest in killing people—or rather, he has lost interest in killing people below the Grandmaster level, since in his eyes, it no longer presents a challenge.
At this stage, he is pursuing immortality, and whether there are other realms after the Grandmaster realm!
Therefore, the task of killing was handed over to his apprentice. It was precisely because of this that the man in the straw hat improved his cultivation level very quickly. He was about to reach the age of fifty and had entered the peak of the sixth level.
Judging from the current momentum, he might reach the Grandmaster level in another one or two decades. Although he will be later than me, he will far surpass most martial artists!
In yesterday's battle, Duanhun Shan was in a sorry state. If it weren't for the final feint, he might have been defeated by Jing Zhe.
Of course, he attributed his embarrassing state to his underestimation of his opponent and his overconfidence in Jing Zhe—luckily, he hadn't taken any of Jing Zhe's "tempering pills," or he would have lost his head!
Although no vital organs were injured, he did suffer some physical damage. He rested for a night, but his condition was still not good, so he did not dare to show himself when Jing Zhe came in and started shouting.
Even if the Grandmaster was injured, he could still easily defeat Jing Zhe, a peak sixth-level cultivator. However, the Soul-Severing Fan was afraid of something called the "Quenching Pill," so it dared not come out rashly.
He didn't dare to come out until his apprentice, the man in the straw hat, arrived.
"Boy, you've got some nerve coming here on your own. It saves me the trouble of going to the city to look for you!"
The Soul-Severing Fan sneered.
"How can I kill you two if I don't come over?"
Jing Zhe said calmly that ever since he broke through yesterday afternoon, he had been particularly eager to test how domineering the Grandmaster realm was.
Clearly, the injured Soul-Severing Fan and his disciple, who was only at the peak of the sixth level, were the best candidates!
"Arrogant!"
What the Soul-Severing Fan was most wary of about Jing Zhe was that "Quenching Pill," but now that they were prepared, they were fully confident that they could kill him as soon as he took it out!
The only thing Duanhun Shan is considering now is whether Jing Zhe has any medicine on him. After fighting Jing Zhe, he is even more certain that Jing Zhe has the idea that Jing Zhe has a rare medicine. Otherwise, he would not have such cultivation at such a young age. He would naturally want to get such medicine!
"Boy, the reason I was fooled yesterday was because I didn't know your Tempering Pills could explode. Now that I know, do you think you still have a chance to take them out?"
The Soul-Severing Fan sneered.
Jing Zhe shook his head: "I didn't bring any tempering pills with me today, so why would I take them out? Killing the two of you is as easy as using my two hands!"
"..."
The man with the broken soul fan remained relatively calm, but the man in the straw hat next to him was not so good-tempered. His breathing became heavier, and he wished he could just kill him.
Jing Zhe thought for a moment, then said, "By the way, didn't you want the Immortal Transformation Pill? Do you know that the Immortal Transformation Pill is poisonous?"
"Heh, so what if my cultivation level is poisonous?"
The Soul-Severing Fan sneered.
"Have you ever seen a Transformation Pill? If you were given a fake one, could you tell the difference?"
"Although I have never seen it, I have heard of it. This Immortal Transformation Pill is entirely crimson and has a fragrant aroma. You can tell just by looking at it!"
"Oh, then take a look at this!"
So, Jing Zhe took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured out two pills, one large and one small.
The larger one was completely black, while the smaller one was crimson. Just as the Soul-Severing Fan had said, a fragrant aroma filled the room as soon as the red pill was taken out.
"This is... a Transformation Pill?"
The Soul-Severing Fan stared at Jing Zhe in shock. "It seems that Empress Yueyao really did have something going on with you. You just gave away such a precious thing to you like that!"
However, he sneered repeatedly: "I was wondering if you had that miraculous medicine on you. If not, I would spare your life. But now, this one Immortal Transformation Pill is enough. You can die!"
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "Don't you want to know what the other pill is?"
"..."
"This is an antidote that can neutralize the poison in the Immortal Transformation Pill. Therefore, if an ordinary person takes this antidote and the Immortal Transformation Pill at the same time, they can also enjoy the benefits of longevity and immortality!"
"How...is this possible?"
The Soul-Severing Fan scoffed.
"Whether it's possible or not, we'll find out by trying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Zhe suddenly disappeared from the spot. He had brought the peak of the "Following the Wind" technique to its extreme, and he really was like a gust of wind, directly arriving next to the man in the straw hat.
Because the man in the straw hat didn't even have the initial stage of the "Following the Wind" lightness skill, when Jing Zhe moved, he didn't react at all. He only felt a blur before his eyes and then a figure appeared.
His mouth opened unconsciously, and the next moment he reached for the sword in his hand, ready to fight at any moment.
But something unexpected happened. He felt a cool sensation in his mouth, and two pills went in. He was about to spit them out when Jing Zhe slapped his mouth, and then both pills went down his throat...
Meanwhile, Jing Zhe had already retreated with a smile on his face.
Last night, after having the idea of using the antidote to neutralize the poison of the Immortal Elixir, Jing Zhe originally wanted to find a cat or dog to test it on. However, he later thought that cats and dogs are animals after all, and they are very different from humans. Using them for experiments would not be representative.
Besides, cats and dogs are so cute. As an animal lover who can't live without them, wouldn't it be cruel if this experiment failed?
The moment he saw the man in the straw hat, he had an idea.
Although the man in the straw hat was at the peak of the sixth level, his lightness skill was only at the peak of the "light as a swallow" level, so he couldn't react at all.
Just as he expected, he was indeed caught off guard and his face was still full of surprise after taking the medicine.
Not only was the man in the straw hat surprised, but the man with the broken soul fan was also stunned. He looked at Jing Zhe, then at the man in the straw hat, seemingly lost in thought.
At this moment, Jing Zhexian laughed and said, "Didn't you say it was impossible? Whether it's possible or not, it's obvious at a glance!"
The Soul-Severing Fan remained silent, for he knew that anyone other than a Grandmaster would die from the deadly poison within a quarter of an hour after consuming the Immortal Transformation Pill!
The man in the straw hat, having been force-fed pills, was enraged: "Master, let's kill him!"
For some reason, Duanhun Shan waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, let's see if what this kid is saying is true!"
"..."
The man in the straw hat was stunned upon hearing this.
