Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 409 - 200: Fierce Battle

Shi Yuanzhen and Zhao Jingwu were stupefied,

Tan Feng, can you be any more shameless?

You just said you'd stop being a sycophant, striving only for the Great Path. Now you've gone back to being the best of friends, ready to take a hit for your friend?

The details of the deal between Chen Yi and Yang Dan within the Array Method were unknown to the outsiders. Such abrupt changes naturally caught them off guard.

When confronted with their doubts, Chen Yi didn't say a word but directed his wolf-shaped puppet to charge up energy for a long-ranged attack against Zhao Jingwu in the distance,

Bang!

An energy attack equivalent to the Pseudo-core Level was unleashed,

It hit Zhao Jingwu exactly in the brief gap when he had just evaded Aunt Qin's attack and hadn't had time to generate new force,

Zhao Jingwu was taken aback, relying on his agility at the Pseudo-core Level as a Body Cultivator, he barely managed to escape,

But that hit made him extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Aunt Qin's eyes lit up: "Tan Feng has good combat experience."

Just one move lessened a lot of pressure on Aunt Qin.

She didn't know what Yang Dan and Tan Feng had discussed in the spirit array, but whatever led Tan Feng to change his attitude, surely cost Yang Dan a lot.

Indeed,

After Chen Yi did his part to deal with Zhao Jingwu,

The Core Formation inside the Spirit Array seemed to speed up quite a bit.

Yang Dan must have seen Chen Yi keeping his end of the deal, allowing her to focus on her Core Formation with peace of mind,

But after observing for a while, a trace of worry appeared on Qin's face,

It seemed Yang Dan was rushing her Core Formation, was she worried that she and Chen Yi together couldn't hold out for long?

But at this rate, it would be challenging to follow her original plan, setting a solid foundation, stepping towards Golden Core formation one step at a time.

Aunt Qin wanted to advise Yang Dan to slow down and be steady, but the words stuck in her throat,

She had spent more than half her Mana,

With the current situation she wasn't sure if she could last till Yang Dan completed her Core Formation. Any slower, she was afraid that she might not have a chance.

Little did Aunt Qin know that Yang Dan, because she switched to a substandard Crystal Pill, had lost all hopes of forming a Golden Core,

Even the hopes for a high-quality True Core were lost,

Other than the Crystal Pill and another Core forming spirit object, Yang Dan had no other means to increase her chances of successful Core Formation and the quality of the pill.

Now, Yang Dan just wanted to finish forming the core as soon as possible, then quickly deal with the two detestable enemies,

As for Tan Feng, even though he took advantage of the situation to rob Yang Dan of her genuine Crystallisation Pill,

Yang Dan didn't hold a grudge against him and had no thoughts of revenge,

Yang Dan saw this as a preordained tribulation bound in her fate. The sooner it was resolved, the sooner she could put down this demon in her heart,

Moreover, Yang Family was currently plagued by internal strife and external threats. Yang Dan didn't dare to retaliate against Tan Feng,

Surely setting up another powerful enemy for Yang Family.

The master of Tan Feng was Elder True Person Chengji of Qinglong Island, who officially reached an agreement with Elder Yang's Family. They each refined a Crystallization Pill,

But behind the scenes, there were intentions for a marital alliance. It was highly probable that they had designs on the business hub of Wangyue Island.

Moreover, when Qi Yunzu was killed during the Yang Family's battle, the Island Master of Qinglong, True Person Qingming "just happened" to show up and stopped True Person Chengji, who was instinctively pursuing a complete victory,

It turned the Yang Family's sure-fire victory into a mere upper hand against the invaders,

This made Qinglong Island's attitude towards the Yang family questionable,

Thus, even if Yang Dan produced a high-class core, she didn't plan to do anything to Tan Feng,

Yang Family had been hit hard by this fight and needed proper recuperation. Setting up new enemies would be an unnecessary cause of trouble.

In fact, even if Tan Feng got seriously injured during the process of her Core Formation, it was something that Yang Dan didn't want to see. Therefore, at the last moment, she just said, if things go south, she should only worry about getting her brother to safety.

Yang Dan knew, given Tan Feng's status, neither Zhao Jingwu nor Shi Yuanzhen on the other side would dare to kill him,

After all, offending the Yang Family and offending Qinglong Island are two different things.

And Yang Dan wasn't worried that Tan Feng would be really hurt. Despite him talking about pursuit, relationships, and trade — he was all talk and no action. When it really came to a crisis, he would definitely be the first to run.

Well, she could watch and see how things unfold. Later on, she might throw in a few magic weapons, lend them to Tan Feng for use, and keep him hanging on.

...

Outside, under the disguise of the three-colored mask, the mana fluctuation emanating from Chen Yi was equal to the peak of Foundation Establishment,

If he didn't actually use magic and only used tools, outsiders could only judge the intensity of his mana from its power,

Chen Yi was cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique, and he had already become a cultivator in the mid phase of the Foundation Establishment,

And just now, when he left the Array Method, while no one was paying attention, he had taken a second-tier pill that increased his mana limit. This barely temporarily advanced his cultivation level to the late phase of Foundation Establishment,

Thus, he could manage a Quasi-third tier puppet for a short time,

Thereby, he wouldn't have to worry about someone discovering his real cultivation level during the fight.

While Chen Yi was operating the Quasi-third tier puppet to assist Aunt Qin, especially in the moments when Aunt Qin attacked Zhao Jingwu. After Zhao Jingwu was fending off with full force, and Aunt Qin's magic weapon was exhausted,

Chen Yi timed it just right for the puppet to unleash a powerful attack on Zhao Jingwu's most uncomfortable spot,

In these gaps, Zhao Jingwu was supposed to replenish his energy and rest, accumulating physical strength and mana to bother Aunt Qin when she was attacking Shi Yuanzhen,

This would make it impossible for Aunt Qin to stop and rest, thus consuming mana exponentially.

However, Chen Yi's interference meant that Zhao Jingwu couldn't rest midway through the battle. He had to continuously deal with Chen Yi and Aunt Qin, thereby draining his mana and physical energy at a faster pace,
