"You—you—you... h-hello, I... I'm
But he hadn't expected that Sun Lei would only glance at him, then turn his head away with a look of disdain. As he turned, he even said something dripping with sarcasm: "Country bumpkin."
"Ouch... damn it, you—you—you... who are you calling that?" The moment he heard those words, Wang Qiang flew into a rage. Feeling his face had been thoroughly lost, he stepped forward and demanded.
"Calling you that. You got a problem with it? Country bumpkin." Sun Lei was utterly arrogant, not taking Wang Qiang the slightest bit seriously. He pointed right at Wang Qiang's face and spoke with a hard edge in his voice.
"You—you... just you wait. After I've watched this good show, I—I... I'll deal with you," Wang Qiang said.
"Hmph, don't worry. I'll keep my eyes on you," Sun Lei said.
"Keep your eyes on me? You—you... why would you stare at me? Could it be... you've taken a liking to me? N-no... no offense, but I'm not interested in... in m-men." Wang Qiang said with a shameless grin.
"I'm keeping my eyes on you because I'm afraid you'll run. Once this competition is over, I'm going to teach you, you country bumpkin, a good lesson and show you just how big this world really is," Sun Lei said.
"Teach me a lesson? Ignorant fool. You—you—you... you think you're capable?" Wang Qiang said, thoroughly unconvinced.
"Go ahead, you stuttering fool. Talk all you want while you still can, before I lay a hand on you. Before long, you won't be able to say a single word," Sun Lei said viciously.
"Then let's just... just wait and see. We'll see who ends up teaching whom a lesson, and wh—who can't talk anymore." Wang Qiang curled his lip, showing not the slightest fear of Sun Lei.
Their bickering had attracted no small amount of attention. The fact that Wang Qiang was actually standing up to Sun Lei made people reassess the fellow's background and connections all over again.
But regardless, the main event at this moment was still the four
Their confrontation was intensely fierce. Everyone present was an insider who could discern the strength of each formation and the state of the pill-refining. Overall, the two sides appeared evenly matched, the outcome difficult to determine.
This only made the onlookers even more anxious.
Because most of them were hoping that Sealbound Ancient Village would win. After all, the Alliance of Spirit Masters had demanded a hundred thousand drops of Sealbound Cold Water — that was practically bullying.
Finally, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. The competition was about to reach its decisive moment.
But just as everyone was holding their breath, secretly hoping that Zhou Long and his two siblings would emerge victorious—
Huang Feng once again produced the Green Qilin Ruyi. Everyone watched as he pointed the artifact at the formation. Instantly, a wild gale swept up and its imposing aura spread in all directions. At the same time, a bolt of cyan light shot forth before everyone's eyes and plunged into the formation.
The moment the cyan light entered it, the formation blazed with radiance, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance. It even exuded a rich, pleasant fragrance. In that single instant, the formation had undergone a qualitative leap.
"Damn it — he actually used the Green Qilin Ruyi!" Seeing this, the people of Sealbound Ancient Village were furious.
"Time's up. Open the formation." But Huang Feng paid no attention to their strange looks. With a smile, he waved his sleeve and activated the formation.
The formation opened, and a pill swirling with three-colored light appeared before everyone's eyes, carrying a fragrance that spread for miles. But despite how beautiful the pill looked and how pleasant its aroma was, this was no ordinary pill. It was a forbidden pill — a terrifyingly potent one.
"Is that... a forbidden pill? The Three-Colored Bloodthirst Pill?"
Seeing this pill, many veteran Spirit World Masters in attendance lit up with surprise, because the Three-Colored Bloodthirst Pill was an incredibly powerful concoction. Not only would it be effective for Martial Kings — even Half-Emperors would benefit from consuming one.
In theory, only a Royal Robe Spirit World Master could refine such a pill.
Yet the four Huang Feng siblings had managed to do it — and in only half an hour, at that. It was simply incredible. Many of the veteran Spirit World Masters present knew full well that they themselves could never accomplish the same.
