Chapter 1006: The Yellow Sand Spirit
Seeing the middle-aged man act so rampantly, the smile on Xiang Chuan's face deepened involuntarily. He turned his gaze to Yang Haoran beside him and said with a chuckle,
"Brother, it seems this monster has underestimated you. It's one thing for him to underestimate me; after all, my strength isn't much, but can you tolerate this kind of insult when it's directed at you?"
Xiang Chuan's words were clearly meant to provoke Yang Haoran, intending to use Yang Haoran's strength to eliminate the monster before them, thereby saving himself a lot of trouble.
"Heh heh, I have no interest in him. Moreover, I have no interest in the Quicksand Four-Leaf Flower either."
Yang Haoran's reply made Xiang Chuan involuntarily purse his lips slightly. He had originally intended to use Yang Haoran's hand to eliminate this monster, which would save him considerable effort, but from Yang Haoran's current words, his calculations had fallen through.
It wasn't his first day interacting with Yang Haoran; by now, he had a certain degree of understanding of Yang Haoran's character, so he knew his attempt to provoke Yang Haoran had failed.
"Oh well, it's been a long time since I've stretched my limbs. Since this monster is blindly seeking death today, I'll grant him his wish. And, by the way, let me show you my skills, Brother, lest you always think we Pharmacists know nothing but refining medicine."
Xiang Chuan waved his hand dramatically, as if he were about to put on a grand display of his power for Yang Haoran.
"Heh heh, don't pin that on me. I've never thought that Pharmacists only know how to refine medicine and nothing else."
"Still prattling and posturing when death is imminent? You humans are not only hypocritical but also brainless. If I were you, the first thing I'd do is flee immediately. Who has time for idle chatter here? It's a good thing we monsters only devour the Human Spirit in your flesh and blood, not your intelligence, otherwise, we'd definitely become as foolish as you."
The yellow-robed man spoke sarcastically, then waved his hand, setting up a forbidden barrier in the area. From his words and actions, it was clear he was certain he had Yang Haoran and Xiang Chuan trapped. Setting up the barrier was naturally to prevent the two from escaping.
"This foolish monster must be tired of living. Brother, step aside, leave this to your little brother. I'm afraid I'll hit too hard and scare you."
As these words fell, Xiang Chuan had already made his move against the yellow-robed man, while Yang Haoran's figure flashed, putting distance between himself and the two.
Of course, he wouldn't be scared by the battle between the two; the reason he distanced himself was purely to avoid affecting Xiang Chuan's performance.
The yellow-robed man's reaction speed was equally swift. As Xiang Chuan moved, he too mobilized his Demon Power and launched an attack on Xiang Chuan. The forces of both sides collided, erupting in a deafening boom.
After the initial clash, both unleashed powerful techniques, each aiming to take down the other in the shortest possible time, causing constant explosions to echo throughout the area.
In the distance, Yang Haoran watched the human and the monster locked in battle, his expression unchanged. From his demeanor, he seemed not to worry about Xiang Chuan's safety at all.
He fixed his gaze on the yellow-robed man, then activated his Ghost Eye.
As his Ghost Eye activated, the world before him shifted, and the yellow-robed man, on whom his gaze was fixed, also changed, transforming into a humanoid pile of yellow sand.
"So it wasn't a demon, but a monster formed from yellow sand cultivation. For inanimate yellow sand to actually cultivate into a spirit monster, his luck is truly exceptional. What a pity, though, heh heh."
Yang Haoran smiled and shook his head, then deactivated his Ghost Eye. His main purpose in activating his Ghost Eye was to clearly see the yellow-robed man's true form. Since he had already obtained the result, he naturally had no need to continue using his Ghost Eye and consume his Spirit Power. Even if the Ghost Eye's consumption was nothing significant to him now, he still wouldn't waste his Spirit Power.
This thought was deeply ingrained in him, so after getting the result he wanted, he subconsciously put away his Ghost Eye.
The fierce battle between Xiang Chuan and the yellow-robed man continued. Both their attack methods primarily utilized the spiritual power within their bodies, but Xiang Chuan was slightly inferior in comparison.
"Hahahaha, you've got some skill, kid, but compared to me, you're miles behind! You're almost collapsing and I haven't even gone all out yet. If I truly unleashed my full power, you'd already be a corpse!"
The yellow-robed man burst into laughter. Although successfully suppressing Xiang Chuan was not unexpected, when it actually happened, he couldn't help but feel exhilarated. He utterly revelled in the pleasure of his superior strength crushing his opponent.
Xiang Chuan maintained his joking demeanor; even though he was at a disadvantage at the moment, his style remained unchanged.
"Heh heh, why are you panicking? I'm a Pharmacist! My strongest methods involve using various medicines, not comparing the strength of our internal powers. I haven't even used a single medicine yet, so being suppressed by you is no big deal. If you think you can easily take me down like this, you're sorely underestimating us Pharmacists!"
While fending off the yellow-robed man's fierce assault, Xiang Chuan spoke with a smile. As his words fell, he seized an opportunity to retrieve a dānyào from his independent space and swallowed it whole.
Less than a minute after consuming the dānyào, the power fluctuations emanating from Xiang Chuan suddenly surged. He, who had originally been suppressed by the yellow-robed man, now turned the tables and suppressed him instead.
Such a dramatic reversal caused the yellow-robed man's expression to change. He hadn't expected the dānyào Xiang Chuan consumed to be so potent, capable of increasing his strength so dramatically in less than a minute. As a result, he, who had originally held the advantage, now found himself at a disadvantage.
"Heh heh, little monster, this is just the beginning. The real show is still to come."
Xiang Chuan said with a chuckle. After sending the yellow-robed man flying with a single move, he retrieved a small porcelain bottle from his independent space. Seeing this, the yellow-robed man's expression changed again. Although he didn't know what was inside the porcelain bottle, he knew that whatever was in it definitely wouldn't be good for him.
His face darkened. He mobilized more Demon Power, forcibly scattering Xiang Chuan's attack, and intended to stop Xiang Chuan from using the contents of the porcelain bottle. But before he could make a move, Xiang Chuan crushed the porcelain bottle in his hand.
Emerald green liquid splattered, then transformed into a cloud of green mist. Under Xiang Chuan's control, the green mist violently churned, morphing into an unknown green beast.
Although this beast had no physical form, the moment it solidified, a deafening roar erupted from its mouth. The roar was savage, conveying an intense sense of ferocity.
Before the roar had faded, the green beast rushed through the air towards the yellow-robed man opposite him. Its speed was like lightning, arriving before the yellow-robed man in the blink of an eye.
In a moment of urgency, the yellow-robed man sharply recoiled. At the same time, he waved both hands, mobilizing a large amount of Demon Power to form a barrier in front of him, hoping to use it to block the green beast's assault.
Boom! ! !
The barrier was shattered by a single blow from the green beast, dissipating into specks of green spiritual light. Yet, the green beast itself only faded slightly, its ferocity barely diminished.
Although the yellow-robed man had attempted to dodge, his speed was still half a beat too slow. Coupled with the hastily formed barrier's limited defensive power, which offered little resistance, the green beast, after breaking through, instantly appeared before him, its two front claws slamming down on him.
The yellow-robed man was arrogant, but his combat ability was indeed good. In this situation, he didn't lose his composure; instead, he immediately mobilized Demon Power, concentrating it in his hands, and blocked the green beast's pouncing attack.
Bang! ! !
The yellow-robed man's body was sent flying. A sharp pain shot through his arm. Steadying himself, he looked down at his two arms; what greeted his eyes were two ghastly wounds. As blood flowed out, the skin around the wounds rapidly began to blacken.
"So it was Poison!"
The yellow-robed man's eyes narrowed. The changes in the wounds on his hand made him realize what was truly contained in the porcelain bottle Xiang Chuan had retrieved. At the same time, he understood what the fierce green beast's most potent attack method was: not an ordinary impact or pounce, but Poison!
