Chapter 1976: The Forbidden Pill!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hong Xu’s prior attack contained an extraordinary saber martial technique and saber Divine Ability. Duan Ling Tian could clearly see and sense it.

It was only natural Duan Ling Tian thought that it was Hong Xu’s strongest attack. Even his strongest attack was destroyed by him. What else could Hong Xu use to fight him?

While most of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples, including Duan Ling Tian, thought Hong Xu would back down, Hong Xu retrieved a pill bottle from his robes under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Pa!

The pill bottle was crushed open as soon as Hong Xu tightened his grip.

In the next moment, a blood-red pill with a black aura that emitted a chilling aura appeared before everyone’s eyes. In just a move, Hong Xu consumed the pill. When he swallowed the pill, the noise was audible to everyone present.

‘That’s not a Healing Medicinal Pill.’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed as his eyes widened. He would be able to tell if it was a Healing Medicinal Pill, but the pill Hong Xu had consumed was definitely not a Healing Medicinal Pill. It emitted an extremely dangerous vibe.

Boom!

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples were still confused when Hong Xu’s Saint Energy surged again. However, his current Saint Energy seemed to be on a different level compared to before. His current Saint Energy made everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, feel as though he was invincible.

Meanwhile, Hong Xu’s eyes turned red. The lingering Saint Energy around his body was laced with a black aura that sent chills running up the others’ spines.

“Forbidden pill!”

It was unknown who had cried out, but the person’s words instantly caused an uproar.

“Senior Brother Hong Xu actually consumed a forbidden pill?”

“Isn’t it just a Primus house? Is it necessary to take things so far?”

“Although the effects of a forbidden pill are similar to the effects of an assist-type Divine Ability, the aftereffects are worse than the aftereffects of an assist-type Divine Ability. It can’t be compared at all since it’s aftereffects are harmful. Has Senior Brother Hong Xu gone crazy? Is it necessary to consume a forbidden pill just for the sake of a Primus House?”

“Even if he defeats Duan Ling Tian by consuming the forbidden pill, Duan Ling Tian could still snatch the Primus House when the aftereffects set in. I really don’t know what’s going through his mind!”

After Hong Xu consumed the pill, the changes began to show on his body. It caused an uproar among the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples.

Based on their words, it was obvious they were baffled by Hong Xu’s actions.

“Forbidden pill?” When Duan Ling Tian heard the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples’ words, a hint of wariness appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. Naturally, he had heard of forbidden pills. He knew that it was an extremely terrifying pill that could boost one’s strength to a terrifying stage in a short amount of time. Naturally, the aftereffects were terrifying as well.

‘After Hong Xu consumes the forbidden pill, his Saint Energy seemed to have moved past the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage… What’s the forbidden pill that he took?’ Based on Duan Ling Tian’s knowledge, the more a forbidden pill could improve one’s cultivation base, the more valuable it was.

A forbidden pill that could raise one’s cultivation base from the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage to the Peak Quintessential Saint Stage would be a rarity in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

‘Eh? He… he wants to kill me?!’ Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian finally realized that Hong Xu intended to kill him. Hong Xu was emitting a killing intent from his body. It was as though he would not rest until Duan Ling Tian was dead!

In the next moment, Hong Xu made his move.

Sou!

As Duan Ling Tian watched Hong Xu, Hong Xu was charging toward him at an outrageously fast speed. He was giving off an extremely dangerous vibe.

Golden Crow’s Wings!

Duan Ling Tian instantly mobilized the Sun Saint Energy and transformed it into the Golden Crow’s Wings. As he flapped his wings, he shot away at an extremely fast speed. He was trying to widen the gap between him and Hong Xu.

However, even after he used the Golden Crow’s Wings to fly as fast and as far away as he could, he discovered Hong Xu who was emitting killing intent was even faster than he had imagined. In fact, he was even a little faster than Duan Ling Tian.

As time passed, the gap between Hong Xu and Duan Ling Tian began to shorten.

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples who were present had naturally noticed that as well.

“God! What’s Senior Brother Hong Xu doing? Is he trying to kill Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian?”

“Such a terrifying killing intent! When did Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian offend Senior Brother Hong Xu to the point that Senior Brother Hong Xu would go so far as to consume a forbidden pill just to kill him!”

“That’s why Senior Brother Hong Xu had asked where Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian was and not where the Primus house was. As it turns out, we’ve misunderstood his intention. What he wanted was not the Primus house but Senior Brother Ling Tian’s life!”

“Didn’t I say so? It’s impossible Senior Brother Hong Xu would consume a forbidden pill just for the sake of a Primus House… As it turns out, he wants to kill Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples present finally realized Hong Xu was trying to kill Duan Ling Tian! Several disciples left in a hurry to notify the elders in the First Mine’s Punishment Zone since there were no elders stationed in the residence of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples in the Punishment Zone.

“Duan Ling Tian, you can stop running… Your strongest point is your speed! If you compare your attack to your speed, your attack is much weaker. I can finally catch up to you now. Do you think you can block my offensive Divine Ability?” Hong Xu said coldly as the distance between him and Duan Ling Tian grew closer and closer.

“My current strength is very close to the Saint Celestial Stage. It can be considered as invincible among those below the Saint Celestial Stage. Unless your cultivation base is at the Saint Celestial Stage, you will die today!” Hong Xu said indifferently.

“Hong Xu, you consumed a forbidden pill just to kill me?” Duan Ling Tian asked in his deep voice. He was extremely shocked.

Although he knew the increase in Hong Xu’s strength was significant after he consumed the forbidden pill, he did not think it was anywhere close to being at the Saint Celestial Stage! That was the reason why Hong Xu’s speed was faster than him even after he had cast the Golden Crow’s Wings.

“What forbidden pill did Senior Brother Hong Xu consume? The effects are outrageous!”

“He’s merely a Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, and yet, his strength has increased to such a terrifying stage. The forbidden pill he consumed couldn’t be an ordinary forbidden pill!”

“You’re right. An ordinary forbidden pill wouldn’t have such an outrageous effect!”

Upon hearing Hong Xu’s words, the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples were in shock and disbelief.

“Senior Brother Hong Xu shouldn’t be able to possess a valuable forbidden pill such as that, right?”

“That’s true. In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, such a forbidden pill is scarce. Generally, only quasi Celestial-grade Saint Refinement Master who are proficient in medicinal refinement can refine a pill like that!”

“I heard Senior Brother Hong Xu comes from a third-rate clan. It’s impossible for him to possess such a pill.”

While most of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples were shocked, they did not forget to gossip among themselves.

“Since things have escalated to this stage, I’ll just admit it. You’re right. I consumed the forbidden pill just to kill you, Duan Ling Tian!” Hong Xu growled.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is my first time meeting you! There’s no enmity between us, why do you want to kill me?” Duan Ling Tian asked again.

“I’ll explain it to you when you’re on your way to hell!” Hong Xu growled.

Sha!

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically at this moment. It was obvious Hong Xu was planning to die along with him.

How much did Hong Xu hate him to the extent that he would give up his life just to kill him?

Upon hearing Hong Xu’s words, the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples were shocked again. They all understood the underlying meaning in Hong Xu’s words.

“Goodness! Did Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian kill Senior Brother Hong Xu’s father or his wife? Senior Brother Hong Xu would die just to kill Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian.”

“Yes… Only this kind of enmity will drive someone insane.”

Many Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples discussed among themselves.

“Saber King Ingress!” Hong Xu cried out suddenly when he was still quite a distance away from Duan Ling Tian. He had cast his medium-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Saber King Ingress again.

Instantly, a Saber King as large as a mountain appeared. The size of the Saber King was twice the size of the one from earlier. Moreover, the aura from this Saber King and the saber in his hand was a lot more terrifying as well. It seemed like the two were on completely different levels.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed dramatically when he saw this. He knew that not only was Hong Xu faster than him, but his attack could completely destroy his strongest attack. Even if he had mastered the third stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, he might not necessarily be a match for Hong Xu!

“Ghastly Shadow Thousand Strike!” Hong Xu cried out again as the Hundred Saint Inscription Saint Saber in Hong Xu’s shone as bright as the moon as it slashed down at Duan Ling Tian.

Simultaneously, the Saber King made its move as well. He mimicked Hong Xu and swung his saber at Duan Ling Tian.

The sky seemed to change color in the wake of the saber. Even the sun did not seem as bright.

“Oh no!” Duan Ling Tian who was being targeted could only watch as the Saber Ray that seemed capable of cutting through anything formed a web. He felt suffocated as though there was a huge rock on his chest. It was excruciatingly painful!
