Schemes and Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng (Second Update)

"Come fight!" Yang Wudi descended from the sky like a streak of crimson light, Soul Breaking Spear in hand.

Purple-Gold Patterns flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Spirit Eyes World Creation

In an instant, faint patterns appeared throughout the entire world, as if time and space had frozen. Yang Wudi, falling from above, was instantly analyzed—

The next moment, a killing crimson gleam descended from the sky. A terrifying blast of soul power pierced straight through the floor, sending the earth surging upward and clouds of dust and smoke billowing across the ground.

"That old goat really doesn't hold back," Niu Gao couldn't help remarking.

"That guy has always acted arrogantly. He never knows when to stop," Titan said, folding his arms as he stared at the central Front Yard.

"No one can tear up a house quite like him," Bai He said.

What he was really thinking was: How much would it cost to repair this ruined Front Yard?

The old gorilla had another expense on his hands. How was he supposed to lower himself and borrow money from him again? Sigh...

As the dust in the Front Yard gradually settled, the figure at the center came into view.

The once high-spirited Yang Wudi was now being held aloft by the throat by the Black-Robed Man. Blood streamed down his cheek and forehead, the sleeve around the arm holding the Soul Breaking Spear had been shredded, and the spear itself was on the verge of breaking apart. Blood dripped from its tip.

"What—" Titan's pupils abruptly contracted.

"Old goat—" Bai He's hands trembled uncontrollably.

Titan immediately moved to rescue him, but Huo Yuhao merely glanced back at him, instantly freezing him in place.

Titan feared harming Yang Wudi and did not dare act rashly.

Niu Gao's mind buzzed. What was going on?

"Who exactly are you? What do you mean by coming here?" Titan calmed down and questioned him.

"You attacked the moment you arrived. I thought none of you knew how to speak." Huo Yuhao simulated an old, hoarse voice, his icy gaze sweeping across the three of them.

Members of the other three clans surrounded them one after another. Upon seeing the scene before them, they were utterly stunned.

The people of the Breaking Clan, in particular, could hardly believe their eyes.

"Clan Head..."

"You're from Spirit Hall?" Titan's expression turned grim, ready to fight at any moment.

Niu Gao and Bai He also summoned their martial souls and soul rings. Both were Eight Ring Soul Douluo!

"Is there any point in arguing about that?" Huo Yuhao laughed instead. "If I had Spirit Hall at my back, would you dare come seeking revenge?"

"What exactly do you want?" Bai He asked with a frown.

"Originally, I only wanted to ask you to handle something for me. But your people seem to enjoy fighting, and they wouldn't even listen to an explanation." Huo Yuhao spoke casually.

"Now then, what are you going to use to buy back his worthless life?" Huo Yuhao said coldly.

Titan, Bai He, and Niu Gao looked at one another.

"I heard that a Mystic Water Pill appeared at a recent auction. It's said to increase Innate Soul Power. Get one for me, and I'll release him. How about it?" Huo Yuhao's tone was rather frivolous.

"That's impossible!" Titan immediately rejected the condition.

Bai He and Niu Gao were both taken aback by Titan's expression.

A Mystic Water Pill?

What was that? How could it make the old gorilla lose his composure like this?

"That thing only appeared at auction once. Since you know about the Mystic Water Pill, you must know its value. One pill costs seven million Gold Soul Coins. It's simply not something a small sect like ours can obtain," Titan said helplessly.

Seven million for one pill?!

When Bai He heard that number, he was nearly shocked to death.

What kind of divine medicine was that, to sell for such an outrageous price?!

"You don't have one? Then I can only send him to meet the King of Hell." Huo Yuhao sneered, tightening his grip. The gravely injured Yang Wudi could not help gasping for breath.

"Stop! I'll give you something!" Bai He suddenly shouted.

What?

Titan and Niu Gao were both stunned.

Old white bird? How could he possibly possess a pill worth seven million apiece?

"Oh? Take it out and let me see." Huo Yuhao sneered, putting on a disbelieving expression, as if he had deliberately demanded something they could never provide in order to choke Yang Wudi to death.

"Although I don't have a Mystic Water Pill, I dare say that this item is absolutely no less valuable than your so-called Mystic Water Pill." Bai He took a long sandalwood box from inside his sleeve.

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon the wooden box in Bai He's hand, seemingly drawn to it.

The captured Yang Wudi clearly realized something. Tilting his head, he looked at it from the corner of his eye and made muffled noises through his mouth. His emotions ran high, as though he knew what it was and desperately wanted to stop him.

Titan and Niu Gao immediately understood.

Bai He slowly opened the sandalwood box. It was lined with red brocade, and resting within was a ginseng plant that looked like blood crystal from root to stem. Its tangled roots resembled embedded pink diamonds, dazzling and brilliant.

"This is Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng, a peerless divine medicine. It can bring the dead back to life, regrow flesh on white bones, greatly replenish vital energy, and strengthen one's foundation," Bai He introduced.

"This blood ginseng does look to be of excellent quality, but are you sure it can compare with a Mystic Water Pill?" Huo Yuhao burst out laughing.

"You—" Bai He's face flushed crimson with anger. "I don't know the precise effects of that Mystic Water Pill, but the value of this Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng is absolutely at the level of a peerless divine treasure."

"Bring it over and let me see," Huo Yuhao said.

Hearing this, Bai He gave the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng in the box one final reluctant look. He painfully closed the lid and tossed the sandalwood box to Huo Yuhao as though cutting off his own flesh.

Huo Yuhao raised a hand and caught the box in his palm. After opening it to inspect the contents, he confirmed that it was indeed Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng. He closed the box, then casually tossed Yang Wudi down at Titan and the others' feet like a piece of trash.

"Old goat." Titan, Niu Gao, and Bai He immediately gathered around him.

The members of the Breaking Clan rushed forward at once, administering spiritual medicine to their clan head to treat his wounds.

After confirming that Yang Wudi was safe.

"Keep an eye on old goat." Titan suddenly raised his head, his blazing gaze fixed on the Black-Robed Man before him.

He rose to his feet and immediately used Martial Soul Possession. Two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings emerged beneath his feet.

"Old..." Yang Wudi struggled, trying to call him back.

He knew full well that the old gorilla was no match for that fellow and would only suffer a crushing defeat.

Titan clenched both fists and charged straight at Huo Yuhao.

Brilliant Purple-Gold Patterns bloomed in Huo Yuhao's pupils, instantly analyzing Titan's movements. He then flashed aside.

Titan attacked again and again, yet his opponent easily evaded every strike. He could not touch him in the slightest.

Titan grew enraged and immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body. The Great Strength Gorilla behind him instantly transformed into a Titan Giant Ape. Its eyes were red as moons, and it threw back its head with a shrill ape cry as sound waves surged outward—

Huo Yuhao stood calmly in place, calmly watching him.

The Titan Giant Ape leaped into the air and slammed both fists heavily into the ground, causing a localized tremor.

Huo Yuhao leaped upward and stood Soaring in the Sky. Gray Silent Cloud Mist spread around him, while a pair of enormous vertical eyes emerged behind him, their pupils filled with Purple-Gold patterns.

The Titan Giant Ape suddenly raised its head, baring its fangs in fury. It opened its mouth as vast soul power gathered from every direction, then abruptly unleashed a dazzling beam of light toward the black-robed figure in the sky—

That seemed a little excessive, huh.
