"Haha... First-grade Talisman Pills? You, a dignified Eternal Life Pill Master, can only produce First-grade Talisman Pills? It seems you’re nothing but a reputation-seeking fraud! Don’t blame our Sect Master for not giving you a chance; I let you use your talismanic elixir first!"

Upon hearing that Chu Feng only had First-grade Talisman Pills left, Junzi Sword’s confidence grew.

Laughing wildly, he exhibited his ’masterly’ demeanor, allowing Chu Feng to strike first.

Top fighters often let weaker opponents strike first, partly displaying their own grace, partly out of arrogance.

"Do you really want me to strike first? I fear you won’t withstand even a First-grade Talisman Pill and will fall directly! Don’t regret it!" Chu Feng sneered with disdain.

"Go ahead! Whether it’s First-grade or Ninth Grade, as long as you can produce it, feel free to throw it at me! Come on!" Junzi Sword puffed out his chest, confidence soaring.

"That’s what you said!"

Chu Feng was waiting for these words, fiercely launching several talismanic pills he held.

Among them, a Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir transformed into a sharp golden light, aiming directly at Junzi Sword’s head.

"Ah... This is a Ninth Grade Gold Talisman Elixir..." Junzi Sword turned pale, cursed the ancestors of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, feeling deceived.

This eunuch’s words were unreliable.

He had sworn that Chu Feng had no advanced talismanic elixirs left and had exhausted them completely.

What a bunch of nonsense. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Unexpectedly, there was still a Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir, and a single-target Gold Talisman Elixir at that.

His life might end here.

Junzi Sword stopped blaming the heavens and earth; the imminent catastrophe had to be averted first.

"Go!"

Without hesitation, he used his Ninth Grade Wood Talisman Elixir.

This elixir was crafted through immense effort, after countless failures.

Upon release, the Wood Talisman Elixir transformed into a green light, growing rapidly like a demon vine.

Junzi Sword had originally planned to use the Ninth Grade Wood Talisman Elixir to entangle Chu Feng to death. Now, saving his life took precedence, as he manipulated the demon vine to tangle with the swift golden light.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Continuous and dense sounds resounded, the demon vine chopped into countless pieces by the golden light. Yet its growth speed remained terrifying, barely resisting the golden light’s onslaught.

The battle between two Ninth Grade Talisman Elixirs was indeed a spectacular sight.

The soldiers and experts on both sides watched intently, eyes glued to the scene.

After momentarily clashing, the golden light gained the upper hand, with the demon vine retreating continuously.

"Not good!"

Junzi Sword’s expression slightly changed as his storage ring emitted a white light.

Soon, two Eighth Grade Talisman Pills appeared in his hand.

Crafting Ninth Grade Talisman Elixirs is not achievable by everyone with the success rate of Chu Feng. Most Pill Masters, even after a lifetime, have never succeeded once.

Because assessing whether a Pill Master has reached the Alchemy Venerate Level isn’t based on the ability to craft Ninth Grade Talisman Elixirs.

It’s based only on a Pill Master’s ability to successfully craft Ninth Grade Elixirs twice to be called a Pill Master of Alchemy Venerate Level.

Therefore, even among Pill Masters of the same level, the disparity may be vast.

Junzi Sword, true to his name, excels in both alchemy and swordsmanship. Although his alchemy path cultivation is strong, so is his sword dao cultivation. His energy is, ultimately, limited.

Dividing his focus led to neither reaching the top level.

At least compared to Chu Feng, he fell short.

In his past life, Chu Feng devoted himself to the alchemy path cultivation, as if spellbound. He spent all his efforts researching the alchemy path.

He managed to self-study and rise step by step to become a Pill Master in the remote Dan State.

Even outperforming many Pill Masters on the Divine Martial Continent, evidencing his exceptional alchemy path abilities.

Junzi Sword launching two Eighth Grade Talisman Pills already implied defeat.

Since both used one Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir in the battle, adding two Eighth Grade Talisman Pills at the brink of defeat indicated he wasn’t up to Chu Feng’s level.

Junzi Sword was left with no choice.

Losing the alchemy battle is better than death.

The two Eighth Grade Talisman Pills, one being a Wood Talisman Elixir, the other a Gold Talisman Elixir.

Both offensive talismanic pills.

The Eighth Grade Wood Talisman Pill transformed into a wooden dragon, devouring Chu Feng’s golden light fiercely. Meanwhile, the Gold Talisman Elixir turned into a golden light, striking Chu Feng’s golden light.

The golden light’s speed was faster, hitting Chu Feng’s golden light first.

Boom!

The clash made the entire world tremble.

The golden light from Chu Feng’s Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir remained steadfast, miraculously unaffected. In contrast, the golden light from Junzi Sword’s Eighth Grade Gold Talisman Elixir dissolved instantly.

In this brief moment, the demon vine from Junzi Sword’s Ninth Grade Wood Talisman Elixir was completely exterminated.

Luckily, Junzi Sword’s Eighth Grade Wood Talisman Elixir transformed into a wooden dragon, eventually arriving.

It swallowed Chu Feng’s golden light whole.

Roar~!

A resounding dragon’s roar echoed, filled with desolation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Intense explosions rang out as the wooden dragon’s body quivered, tensed and straightened. Shortly after, the golden light it swallowed shot out from its tail.

The golden light still retained its strength, straight towards Junzi Sword.

"Ah..."

Junzi Sword gasped, turning pale, frantically waving his divine weapon, forming a sword curtain ahead.

Simply that wasn’t reassuring.

He then summoned a magic shield, placing it on his chest for additional protection.

"Junzi Sword, you are defeated!" Chu Feng declared coldly as the victor. "Surrender or die?"

Chu Feng wouldn’t tolerate anyone assisting the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

If Junzi Sword refused to surrender, Chu Feng wouldn’t hesitate to send him on his way.

"Arrogant beyond measure! With this Emperor here, there’s no room for your arrogance!" Panlong Heavenly Emperor didn’t want his remaining powerful ally to be recruited by Chu Feng.

Infuriated, he disregarded his injuries, fearlessly unleashing Sword Technique Divine Ability, Devouring Spirit Slash upon Chu Feng.

He seemed well-prepared, with other Supreme Sword Gods surrounding him, all acting simultaneously.

No adherence to rules.

As long as they could kill Chu Feng, they didn’t care whether their actions were disgraceful.

"Protect the Emperor!"

Fang Xuanling and others were shocked, not anticipating Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s deceitfulness and cruelty. Clearly, in front of everyone, it was agreed for Chu Feng and Junzi Sword to have an alchemy battle.

Yet, they took the chance to ambush Chu Feng.

Though Fang Xuanling and others were somewhat distant from Chu Feng, they had minimal trouble resisting other Supreme Sword Gods of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. But blocking Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s Devouring Spirit Slash proved challenging.

Because Panlong Heavenly Emperor released Devouring Spirit Slash slightly earlier than others.

Besides, it was a sword technique divine ability, quick as lightning.
