Three days later.
Zhang Yuan, disheveled and dirty, stood in the dormitory hall in front of the alchemy furnace, holding a small red pill the size of a lollipop in his hand, laughing like a madman!
"It's done! It's done!"
"Hard work pays off! I do have a talent for alchemy!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Yuan played with the Burst Pill for a while, then carefully put it into his Qiankun bag for later use. After that, he tidied up the messy room and put the bronze alchemy furnace into his Qiankun bag as well. Only then did he draw back the curtains and open the door.
He skipped classes for three consecutive days to focus on refining elixirs.
Finally, hard work pays off.
After taking the Burst Pill, Zhang Yuan could use the powerful energy provided by the pill to temporarily unleash the power of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage. With this pill, Zhang Yuan felt more confident and had more to rely on.
Last time, he invited Zeng Jingxue and Chen Tingting to eat barbecue skewers on the student street, but they didn't end up eating. As a result, the two girls kept nagging Zhang Yuan to treat them again!
Zhang Yuan had been busy refining pills these past few days and didn't have time to bother them. In order not to affect his pill refining, he casually agreed to take them to the city to eat Haidilao.
Before the Burst Pill was even refined, Zhang Yuan was still thinking about how to cancel his plans that night.
Unexpectedly, he successfully refined the Burst Pill in the afternoon. In a great mood, he decided to keep his promise and treat Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li to Haidilao hot pot in the city!
He hasn't had a proper meal in the past few days. Since tomorrow is Saturday and he doesn't have to go to school, he'll treat himself to a meal tonight and relax.
After tidying up his room, Zhang Yuan cultivated for more than an hour, then took a shower, changed into brand new clothes, and shaved his messy mustache in front of the mirror.
After he finished packing, he took his wallet and phone and went downstairs.
After the three met up, Zeng Jingxue drove them to the city.
Zhang Yuan sat awkwardly in the back of Zeng Jingxue's car, while Chen Li sat in the passenger seat.
There was a faint fragrance in the car; I couldn't tell if it was the scent of the two girls, the car's perfume, or both.
The car quickly drove out of the school.
Tongcheng University is located in the suburbs, about 20 kilometers from the city center.
There is a sparsely populated wasteland between the school and the city, which is usually used to dump urban construction waste.
Because it was a cloudy day, it was only 4:30 pm, but the sky was already getting dark, and a large patch of dark clouds was floating in the distance.
As the car passed the wasteland piled with construction debris, Zhang Yuan glanced at it a few more times.
That night, he fought two monsters right here.
The clouds ahead grew even darker, and for some reason, Zhang Yuan felt a tightness in his chest.
Zeng Jingxue was driving while chatting carefree with Chen Li.
The two were chatting happily when suddenly two more people appeared on the otherwise empty street!
Seeing that the car was about to crash, Zeng Jingxue hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the wheels made a screeching sound!
How do you walk?!
"Aren't you afraid of dying? Walk to the middle of the road!"
Chen Li cursed from inside the car.
On the way, the two men remained calm, standing there quietly as if waiting for them, their faces even bearing malicious smiles.
At this moment, there was not a single car on the entire road except for Zeng Jingxue's car.
The highway was eerily quiet, and the dark clouds in the sky were even thicker and more oppressive!
There's an indescribable eeriness about the whole world!
Zhang Yuan was sitting in the back seat when the sudden braking caused him to hit the front seat. After the car stopped, he looked through the windshield and saw two familiar faces, and his pupils contracted sharply.
"It's them again?"
Outside the car.
The bull demon and dog demon's pale blue eyes peered through the glass, smiling directly at Zhang Yuan, as if to say, "Hey, brother, we meet again!"
At this moment, another bizarre scene unfolded.
Centered on the highway, the world suddenly darkened, as if all the light had vanished, and the thick, dark clouds overhead began to churn violently, as if a demon was about to descend upon the world.
The whole world consisted of only the road, the three people in the car, the two men on the road outside the car, and the dark cloud hanging above.
At the same time, a terrifying demonic aura surged forth, enveloping the entire vehicle.
Zhang Yuan pushed open the car door and ran out.
Before closing the car door, he leaned back into the car and solemnly and earnestly said to Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li, "You two turn around and leave here immediately!"
Also, no matter what happens later, you are not allowed to come back!
Zhang Yuan's expression terrified the two girls!
Although they didn't know what had happened, the strange phenomena before their eyes seemed to foreshadow that something terrible was about to happen.
We need to get out of here right away!
"No, if we leave, what will you do?"
Zeng Jingxue said anxiously.
"You guys go quickly! Don't worry about me."
Everything here is beyond your control!
If we don't leave now, it will be too late!
Also, remember, no matter what you see, don't call the police!
Zhang Yuan practically commanded, then closed the car door, stood at the hood, and his immense true energy erupted instantly, making him stand between heaven and earth like a god or demon!
Zeng Jingxue seemed to understand something. She quickly shifted into reverse, floored the accelerator, and the car sped backward.
Just as the car was about to leave, it suddenly seemed to hit something invisible at the rear and couldn't move forward.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was radiating a strange golden light, as incredible as a character from an anime!
He suddenly glanced back, and the car miraculously passed through the invisible membrane barrier and sped away.
Inside the barrier, Zhang Yuan had never felt such a powerful demonic aura before.
Even he felt a chill run down his spine from the eerie aura emanating from it, and he didn't know if he would be able to leave alive.
If Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li hadn't escaped in time, none of the three of them would probably be alive today.
Zhang Yuan didn't want to implicate others, especially two innocent people!
Seeing the car drive away, Zhang Yuan felt relieved and could now focus all his energy on dealing with the situation here.
The demons' target was Zhang Yuan; they weren't interested in the car or the people inside. So, Zeng Jingxue drove away, ignoring the bull demon and dog demon, who instead focused their attention on Zhang Yuan.
If it were just the two demons, the bull demon and the dog demon, Zhang Yuan wouldn't be afraid.
But today's situation is different. There seems to be a powerful being in the strange, swirling dark clouds in the sky, emanating an overwhelming demonic power that makes Zhang Yuan feel inexplicably uneasy.
Suddenly, a blue demonic wind descended from the rolling dark clouds, sweeping rapidly toward Zhang Yuan in a straight line.
Zhang Yuan immediately took a Strength Pill, a Body Protection Pill, and a Burst Pill.
At this moment, his body was filled with immense true energy, which was raging violently within him!
His aura also surged to its peak.
The demonic wind arrived in an instant, and Zhang Yuan quickly unleashed a powerful lightning talisman.
After consuming the Burst Pill, the Mighty Pill, and the Body Protection Pill, his strength surged, allowing him to briefly unleash the attack power of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages.
The lightning talisman unleashed at this moment, once detonated, possessed a power no less than that of a strike from a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage!
This is the strongest attack Zhang Yuan can unleash right now!
Just as the thunder talisman was about to collide with the demonic wind, a yellow command flag suddenly appeared in the demonic wind.
The yellow command flag is decorated with a golden tiger that bares its fangs and roars to the sky!
As soon as the command flag appeared, demonic energy rippled around it. Then, the command flag drew a circle in the air, and a strange, dark space appeared inside the circle!
The black hole emitted strange fluctuations, instantly sucking in the lightning talisman that Zhang Yuan had unleashed, and then the talisman disappeared.
A moment later, hundreds of meters away from the road barrier sealed by demonic power, a domineering bolt of lightning suddenly struck down!
Click!
boom!
A giant lightning bolt snaked through the air.
The purple lightning struck the middle of the 2-meter-high pile of construction waste, carving out a crater several meters deep. In the crater, the cement and steel bars instantly turned into powder!
