Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: High-Quality Explosive Essence Pill

"This spiritual artifact is permeated with such heavy evil Qi!"

Feng Peilan was drawn to the blood-colored long blade in Fang Bai’s hand. Gazing intently at it, she was hit by a wave of intense, blood-scented evil Qi that made her mind reel, conjuring up a terrifying hallucination of corpse mountains, blood seas, and an underworld hell.

Had she been a weaker martial artist, she would have been trapped in this illusion, unable to extricate herself, left to await slaughter by Fang Bai. But Feng Peilan was strong and resolute. Shaking off the momentary bewilderment, she broke free from the hallucination.

"Sever!"

Just as Feng Peilan had escaped the illusion, she heard Fang Bai cry out once more. The blood-colored long blade in his hand swept out a streak of crimson light like flowing silk, slashing down swiftly.

Feng Peilan felt a lightness in her right hand—the Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon that was wrapped around Fang Bai’s waist had been cut in two.

"How is this possible!"

Feng Peilan exclaimed in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

Initially, Feng Peilan had paid the steep price of decades’ worth of accumulated cultivation resources to commission an artifact refiner to craft the wind system spiritual artifact, the Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon, and she was quite pleased with its power.

Over the years, it was precisely with this wind system spiritual artifact that Feng Peilan had defeated countless powerful opponents.

The Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon, made of a special material, was supple and unyielding, like the wind and clouds, elusive, and even when clashing with genuine high-rank spiritual artifacts, it would remain undamaged.

But what Feng Peilan could never have imagined was that Fang Bai’s blade cut through her laboriously crafted Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon as easily as slicing tofu.

Feng Peilan stood there, stunned, looking at the broken Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon in her hands, her heart bleeding, still not daring to believe it was true.

"That kid’s blood-colored long blade must also be a high-quality spiritual artifact! He destroyed my Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon; I will take his blade to compensate!"

Discarding the broken Life-Snatching Wind Ribbon from her hand, Feng Peilan consumed an elixir like lightning, then charged at Fang Bai with towering hatred, screaming, her ten fingers spread wide in an almost frenzied attack.

The moment she lunged out, her already waning Essence Energy suddenly surged, and her combat power skyrocketed, surpassing even her peak state by a few notches.

"High-quality Explosive Essence Pill... this old hag has gone mad..." Fang Bai sensed Feng Peilan’s dramatically increased combat power, his heart growing cold.

The Explosive Essence Pill is one of the essential elixirs for martial artists to wander the world. When encountering powerful opponents or emergencies, taking an Explosive Essence Pill could momentarily boost a martial artist’s combat power considerably, thereby aiding them in overcoming difficulties, making it a favorite among many martial artists.

However, there are side effects to taking an Explosive Essence Pill. For several two-hour periods after the pill’s effects end, the martial artist will be extremely weak, with greatly diminished strength, which is why martial artists do not lightly use them unless it’s a life-or-death moment.

The higher the rank of the Explosive Essence Pill a martial artist consumes, the faster and more substantial the increase in strength. After Feng Peilan took the high-quality Explosive Essence Pill, her combat power nearly grew exponentially, immediately putting immense pressure on Fang Bai.

Therefore, facing Feng Peilan’s frenzied attack, Fang Bai could only swing the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his hand to fend off her assaults, while rapidly retreating to momentarily evade her sharp edge.

Yet, having consumed the Explosive Essence Pill, Feng Peilan’s Essence Energy exploded, and her movement speed increased significantly as well. Her movements were sudden and unpredictable, like a startled swan or flashing lightning, slightly outpacing even Fang Bai’s Dragon Soaring to the Heavens Technique.

Fang Bai, wielding the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, albeit capable of slaying Cosmic Level high-rank experts, faced Feng Peilan—a Cosmic Level perfect expert who practiced Wind System Martial Arts Techniques and who, after consuming the Explosive Essence Pill, had reached a strength nearly on par with Universe Level Experts—felt an enormous pressure bearing down on him.

"Chi!"

Sharp sounds of tearing through the air erupted as Feng Peilan caught up to Fang Bai in the blink of an eye. She leapt high into the sky and struck down from above. Her ten fingers, like eagle claws, swept through the void toward Fang Bai below.

Ten invisible blades of wind, condensed from wind elements, were born from Feng Peilan’s fingertips and violently slashed towards Fang Bai, seemingly cutting through the very space they traveled.

These ten invisible wind blades covered a range of several meters around, sealing off all Fang Bai’s retreat paths and forcing him to confront her attack head-on.

Fang Bai took a deep breath, his feet slightly parted, and he raised his head high, his eyes filled with a mad fighting spirit as he momentarily boosted his combat power to its peak.

"Bloodthirst!"

Fang Bai roared as he swung his Blood-Drinking Mad Blade from below upwards, a meter-long arc of blood-red light separating from the blade, clashing against the ten invisible wind blades Feng Peilan had drawn.

Chi!

The collision between the invisible wind blades and the bloody blade light erupted in the air between Fang Bai and Feng Peilan, causing ripples that swept in all directions. The scattered Essence Energy transformed into powerful shockwaves that swept over the surrounding grass and forests, with the sound of trees snapping incessantly ringing out.

Fang Bai was pushed back repeatedly by the powerful recoil, only managing to stabilize his footing after retreating over a dozen steps.

His hair was a mess, his clothes were torn, and the blood in his body surged uncontrollably, with a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, indicating he had sustained minor injuries.

However, Fang Bai possessed the Chaos True Body, which made his physique extremely resilient. Such a minor injury had no impact on his combat strength; on the contrary, it stirred the long-dormant ferocity and combativeness within him.

Although he had suffered a minor injury and appeared somewhat ragged, the fact that he could withstand a full-force blow from Feng Peilan after she had consumed an Explosive Essence Pill greatly bolstered his confidence.

After performing an aerial somersault, Feng Peilan landed steadily on the ground. Seeing Fang Bai only lightly wounded, which was vastly different from the severe injury she had anticipated, she couldn’t help but feel greatly disappointed.

It must be noted that after ingesting the Explosive Essence Pill, each of Feng Peilan’s strikes burned a massive amount of Essence Energy. With an all-out attack like the last, she could at most execute it only eight to ten times. If Fang Bai could withstand those, then it would soon be Feng Peilan’s turn to be in a tight spot.

"Soul Severing!"

Just as Feng Peilan was preparing to launch another attack and not give Fang Bai a chance to catch his breath, to her surprise, Fang Bai took the initiative to counterattack.

"Soul Severing!" As soon as these two words were uttered, Feng Peilan’s mind hazed over as if she had plummeted into the Nether Hell, surrounded by a sea of blood with countless severed limbs and white bones floating amidst the terrifying scene.

"Not good!"

Feng Peilan inwardly cursed the dire situation. She bit down hard on her tongue, and the intense pain immediately snapped her out of the illusion.

And at that moment, she saw Fang Bai wielding the blood-color long blade, shooting towards her like lightning, closing to within less than ten meters in front of her.

"Silence Annihilation!"

Fang Bai’s third thunderous shout followed as the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade swung once again.

A strong evil Qi that emanated from the blade muddled Feng Peilan’s mind. She had just escaped the illusion, only to fall back into a deeper version of the previous terrifying phantasm.

Feng Peilan could feel countless hands suddenly reaching out from the blood sea around her; those hands firmly grasped her feet, dragging her bit by bit into the depths of the blood sea.
