Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 649 - 645: Zhang Lu Dies, the Fake Celestial Pill Splits in Two

Only to see the aura around Zhang Lu growing increasingly dense, having already broken through to a First Grade Main God, and now showing signs of rising further.

Sun Yazhu looked towards Xia Feng with worry in her eyes, while Li Qingxue bit her lower lip, gripping the Snow Fall Sword tightly.

Speaking of which, the conflict with the Yu Race originally started because of her, and she didn’t know how much trouble it had caused Xia Feng. Li Qingxue felt particularly burdened.

If it weren’t for the other women holding her back, she would have rushed out heedlessly to perish together with Zhang Lu.

Tang Yunqi observed everyone’s posture with a hint of envy but quickly took a deep breath and began to console them.

"Don’t worry, although that man has some means, he is not little brother’s match. Little brother just wants to test to what extent this Fake Celestial Pill can temporarily break through."

The women felt slightly relieved, but before they could let out a full sigh, they saw Zhang Lu recklessly rushing towards Xia Feng, holding his arm tightly.

With a sinister expression, Zhang Lu glared at Xia Feng, his eyes tinged with red, clearly intending to pull someone down with him at the moment of death.

"Go to hell and apologize to Goddess Qingyu!"

As his words fell, Zhang Lu’s aura became unstable, and it seemed he was about to self-destruct while holding Xia Feng.

The women could no longer care for their own safety and instantly wanted to rush forward to shield Xia Feng.

However, seeing Xia Feng’s demeanor, Tang Yunqi knew that he wasn’t concerned with this person’s self-destruction, so he stepped forward to hold the women back.

"Sisters-in-law, don’t worry so much. Little brother surely has his ideas; rushing in like this might disrupt his plans."

As the primary wife, Sun Yazhu acted on impulse, but soon realized it was inappropriate. After being persuaded by Tang Yunqi, she halted her actions and began to calm the other women.

"Young Master Tang is right; right now, our husband is busy fighting, and he can’t attend to us."

"If we rush out recklessly and get affected by the aftermath of the self-destruction, our husband will have to worry about us instead."

Li Qingxue’s eyes were red, biting her teeth, she said, "Are we just going to watch like this?"

"Yu Race, those scoundrels of the Yu Race!"

"I should have urged mother to show no mercy to their tribe back then. But our relationship wasn’t that close at the time, and meddling in her matters seemed overstepping."

"If I had known Li Qingyu’s wretched father’s family was so troublesome, they should have been put to death too back then!"

She practiced swordsmanship for years, with resilience and coldness, but was not someone to strike harshly without cause.

Such ruthless words revealed how utterly fed up she was with the constant troubles the Yu Race had been causing them.

Sun Yazhu squeezed her palm gently, whispering, "It’s just a small tribe, there’s no grand trick they can play. Our husband can handle the outside matters, we just need to ensure stability at the rear."

Li Qingxue’s gaze flickered, understanding Sun Yazhu’s meaning.

After all, Li Qingyu was once dearly loved by Li Ya, and if people knew she was kicking them while they’re down, there might be some gossip behind her back, causing unnecessary rumors.

Now that Xia Feng was preparing to clean up the Yu Race, she had to find a way to cover these matters, at least not let it reach the Celestial Sword Divine King.

While the women were chatting idly, they didn’t forget to pay attention to Xia Feng’s situation. Seeing Xia Feng still able to squeeze out a gentle smile, they knew he wasn’t troubled by the person at all.

Zhang Lu’s aura was already extremely unstable. His sinister face even showed a sliver of excitement, as if he could soon see Xia Feng perishing with him.

But seeing Xia Feng’s smile, for some reason, made him feel heavy-hearted.

Xia Feng’s gentle voice sounded, "You also think your Goddess should be in hell, right?"

"But unfortunately, I think only you are going down to accompany her; I don’t wish to dabble in this dreary affair."

Still smiling warmly, Xia Feng’s demeanor inexplicably struck fear in Zhang Lu’s heart.

Then Xia Feng whispered, "Rest in peace."

As his words fell, the Great Dao of Life and Death erupted, instantly draining all of Zhang Lu’s life force.

Zhang Lu, who was like an inflated balloon, was immediately drained into a dry corpse, and the momentum about to explode vanished as well.

Xia Feng tossed Zhang Lu’s corpse aside, then, holding the clump of energy, looked somewhat hesitant. After a long while, he suddenly turned to look at Sun Yazhu.

"This life force contains a lot of energy from the Fake Celestial Pill, originally meant to burst out at once; the extraction turned it useless now."

He paused, then said, "It’s a waste to discard it, why not give it a try?"

Understanding Xia Feng’s intention, Sun Yazhu spoke with a hint of doubt, "Can I handle it?"

"This is a top-grade elixir left by the Celestial Pill Sect, my alchemy skills are barely enough to condense the elixir within a Pill Beast, yet this energy... I am not sure if I can control it."

With encouraging eyes, Xia Feng said nothing as he looked at Sun Yazhu. Seeing his determination, she didn’t refuse, directly summoning the Purple Gold Cauldron.

Tang Yunqi’s eyes brightened as he looked at the Purple Gold Cauldron, instinctively blurting out, "What a good thing!"

No one responded to him, and without embarrassment, he stood behind Xia Feng, watching as Sun Yazhu transferred the energy directly into the Purple Gold Cauldron.

Watching the cauldron tremble as if unable to bear such energy, Sun Yazhu focused intensely, with sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Xia Feng slightly frowned, having assumed it wasn’t that complicated and thus had Sun Yazhu do the condensing.

Had he known earlier, he would have forced Tang Yunqi to take the women into the Dream Realm Pearl for refinement; perhaps he could have used the Dream Realm Pearl’s energy to aid somewhat.

However, Sun Yazhu’s talent in alchemy was indeed exceptional. Initially struggling, she soon became increasingly adept.

In the end, she condensed two elixirs.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, then heard Sun Yazhu say to Xiao Qingxue and Li Qingxue, "These energies still contain substantial portions of our husband’s Great Dao of Life and Death, so I separated the two, to avoid anyone having difficulty absorbing them."

"A fake Celestial Pill containing Sword Dao for Qingxue, and another with the Great Dao of Life and Death for Qingxue. Hopefully, both of you can quickly refine them, so you can assist our husband."
