"Gentlemen, I hope you can work together. We're not here to fight amongst ourselves. Let's seize the championship first, and then you'll receive your due compensation. Otherwise, if that kid takes it..."
At this point, the telepathic communication between Yan Bing and the other person gradually ceased. Thinking of the benefits that would follow, even Yan Bing, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but feel a little tempted. Emperor Grade Pill were invaluable treasures for all Half-Emperor, and even he, Eight-Star Half-Emperor, was no exception.
As for Old Monster Hu, there's no need to say more. His strength is inferior to Yan Bing's, and he desperately wants Emperor Grade Pill. Now, upon hearing Mo Zhai's words, he felt a burning sensation in his heart.
They exchanged a glance with Yan Bing below, and both of them looked at each other in no better shape. If it weren't for mutual benefit, these two would certainly not be standing on the same side.
Half-Emperor level experts each have their own agendas, especially those who spend most of their time alone. No one can truly understand the ulterior motives in their hearts. They may stand side by side now, but at any moment, they could suddenly turn against each other. In their eyes, there is only strength and profit. As for reputation, although they will not let it go, it has long been an external thing to them.
With a jolt, Yan Bing expelled all the lightning power from her body, and then flew through the void again, standing a hundred miles away from Old Monster Hu. Mutual restraint and non-interference were the most balanced solutions.
At this moment, it seems that the Pill Lightning is no longer something the two of them need to worry about. After all, with Yan Bing's previous consumption, the Pill Lightning has now reached its final stage. As long as they can withstand this moment, the Emperor Pill will be ready immediately.
"Sizzle..."
With a thunderous roar, a massive, pitch-black bolt of lightning crashed down upon the two below. The terrifying power was enough to instill a sense of fear even in Gu Li, who possessed his current strength.
These Pill Lightning are truly getting stronger with each wave. If this continues, wouldn't even the most powerful person be struck dead?
Upon seeing this, Yan Bing's expression became even more indifferent. He quickly retreated a hundred steps, leaving the battlefield to Old Monster Hu.
Seeing Yan Bing retreat, Old Monster Hu frowned slightly, but with the Pill Lightning already descending upon him, he had no other choice but to intervene.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, Old Monster Hu waved his sleeves, the wide sleeves coiling around his arms. He grasped the edges of the sleeves with his palms, and at the same time, his Dou Qi surged wildly from within him. Streaks of azure light flashed around Old Monster Hu's body. Then, with a wave of his hand, the sleeves coiled around his arms suddenly blasted out. The originally soft sleeves became several times more solid than steel the moment they were blasted out, forcibly shattering the falling Pill Lightning.
"Whoosh--"
When Old Monster Hu unleashed this move, everyone in the Ancient Wilderness City was immediately shocked. This move was even more astonishing than Yan Bing's palm strike that shattered the Pill Lightning!
With just a flick of his sleeve, he shattered the Pill Lightning with a single blow; such power is truly unprecedented!
Hearing the cheers from the entire city, Old Monster Hu couldn't help but curl a smug smile, which made Yan Bing feel even colder. He hadn't expected that Old Monster Hu would use his previous actions to gain such a big limelight, which truly made him feel quite uncomfortable.
However, before the two could make any further moves, the thunderclouds in the sky began to churn again, and terrifying bolts of lightning once more crashed down.
His gaze shifted to Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was like an old monk in deep meditation, completely oblivious to everything around him. The stone platform he was on seemed to be isolated from the world outside.
Regardless of the noise or commotion outside, Xiao Yan remained oblivious, focusing solely on the calm before him. Although his internal Dou Qi was nearing its end and his Spiritual Strength was almost depleted, Xiao Yan persevered, waiting for the moment when the Emperor Pill would be born!
Xiao Yan believed that this Emperor Tribulation Pill was not far from becoming a true Emperor Pill, or at least very close. As long as he persevered, the Emperor Pill would surely be born successfully!
At this moment, Xiao Yan looked like a dead man. He sat cross-legged in front of the table, his eyes slightly closed, his face ashen and ashen. There was no trace of blood under his skin. He was completely still, and his breath was extremely weak. If one did not examine him carefully, it would be hard to imagine that he was a living person!
Inside the cauldron, the once raging flames had weakened by dozens of times. If it weren't for the terrifying power of the Heavenly Flames itself, even ordinary flames would not have been able to support the final step of Pill Condensation the pill, and the result would have been failure.
At this moment, on the referee's stand, Gu Li and Chi Lin were also staring intently at Xiao Yan with furrowed brows, not daring to relax in the slightest, for fear that Xiao Yan might suddenly give way at any moment.
On the stands, Elder Xuan watched Xiao Yan below with a tense expression. With his keen eyesight, he could see that Xiao Yan was doing his best to squeeze out the last bit of Dou Qi in his body to fuel the burning of the Heavenly Flames. If the pill still could not be condensed into Emperor Pill, the outcome would be dangerous!
At this moment, even the young man who had been calm and composed beside Elder Xuan had a solemn expression. He knew that Xiao Yan was going all out for this pill, but he never expected that he would go to such lengths. It was truly unimaginable!
"Sigh, I admit it, you are indeed very strong and outstanding. You are one of the few people I've ever seen who can work this hard. You really are... a madman!"
Above the void, the terrifying Pill Lightning continued to struggle and rage, its terrifying residual power still relentlessly crashing down, as if it would not stop until the Emperor Pill was destroyed.
"Boom!"
In the void, Yan Bing and Old Monster Hu joined forces to forcefully block the attack of the Pill Lightning. Unexpectedly, even with their combined strength, they couldn't gain any advantage against the Pill Lightning. This Pill Lightning was truly terrifying beyond measure!
Yan Bing clenched her slightly numb hands and looked up at the towering thunderclouds in the sky. The thunderclouds were finally shrinking under their combined strength. Once the Pill Lightning dissipated, the Emperor Pill would be ready!
"Rumble..."
Seeing the thunderclouds churning again, Yan Bing and Old Monster Hu exchanged a smile, and then their Dou Qi surged instantly, their palm seals changing as they prepared to defend against the next attack.
"Hehe, the final blow is finally coming! Haha, come on, let this old man see just how terrifying the Pill Lightning summoned by Emperor Grade Pill truly is!"
As the hand seals shifted, Old Monster Hu let out a cold shout, his fighting Dou Qi surging wildly and rapidly condensing in his palm. His eyes were fixed on the terrifying Pill Lightning falling at breakneck speed, and with a slight movement of his hand, he threw a punch.
