Chapter 146 Give Me an Explanation
"Master Cui!"
Everyone was shocked and rushed forward, then charged at Black Tiger.
Black Tiger sneered, "Even though I'm not a good person, and I've never been loyal to anyone, if you want to touch Mr. Chen, you have to get past me first!"
"Seeking your own death!"
Master Cui's disciples rushed forward and knocked Black Tiger to the ground.
At this moment, Master Cui raised his hand, and a faint green light appeared in his palm. He wiped it across his neck, and the bleeding instantly stopped, quickly scabbing over.
Simultaneously, more than a dozen large trees withered as if drained of all life.
Black Tiger stared at the scene in astonishment, "What's going on?"
Master Cui laughed heartily, "Your knowledge is shallow. Within the Spirit Devouring Array, I am an invincible existence! What is this trivial minor injury? If you were a Grandmaster of Internal Energy, perhaps you would have a chance, otherwise..."
With that, Master Cui no longer bothered with Black Tiger, that insignificant clown, and prepared to deal with Chen Xuan.
"Damn it, if you want to touch Mr. Chen, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Black Tiger struggled to his feet and charged forward with a clenched fist.
"I didn't expect you to be such a good dog, but it's a pity you refuse a toast and prefer a beating!"
Master Cui sneered, then his expression turned cold. He flashed before Black Tiger and struck his chest with a palm. Black Tiger had no way to resist, flying backward, spewing blood, and lying on the ground unable to even turn his head.
He could only watch as Master Cui approached Chen Xuan step by step, raising his withered palm towards Chen Xuan's crown.
"Go to hell!"
Black Tiger mustered his last ounce of strength and lunged forward, throwing himself like a weapon at Master Cui.
Master Cui stumbled back a few steps.
"You're tired of living!"
This act completely enraged Master Cui. His face contorted with anger, and he flashed before Black Tiger.
Black Tiger's face changed dramatically as he saw Master Cui appearing and disappearing like a ghost. He turned to flee, but he had no strength left.
Master Cui raised his hand, his palm like a sharp blade, and instantly plunged into Black Tiger's chest!
Black Tiger stiffened, looking down at the arm piercing his chest, his face filled with disbelief, "You..."
Master Cui withdrew his hand.
The intense pain almost made Black Tiger faint.
He couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
He clutched his chest with both hands, blood flowing profusely, his body involuntarily curled up like a shrimp, trembling as if feeling the call of the underworld.
"I intended to spare your life, but you had no idea what was good for you. Hmph, and you got blood on your hands."
Master Cui said expressionlessly, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his hands, and kicked Black Tiger aside like garbage, swaggering towards Chen Xuan.
"You bastard!" Black Tiger cursed weakly, managing to pick up a branch from the ground and desperately throw it at Master Cui.
Even a Grandmaster of Internal Energy would be helpless against Master Cui. What could a mere plant do to him?
Black Tiger's vision blurred, and with excessive blood loss, a chilling sensation swept over him, and everything before his eyes began to darken.
"Mr. Chen, I was supposed to protect him, but I haven't managed to... I can't let down Mr. Chen's trust..."
With a thought, Black Tiger somehow found strength again and struggled to get up, but a young man in fitted clothing stomped him back to the ground.
"Behave yourself! Or I'll feed you to my蛊worms!" the young man in fitted clothing said fiercely.
At this moment, Master Cui entered the wooden house, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air. He stared at the pill furnace, his eyes shooting out a brilliant gleam!
"It's the Spirit Replenishing Pill, it's the Spirit Replenishing Pill! This kid actually refined the Spirit Replenishing Pill!" Master Cui exclaimed uncontrollably.
Then, his gaze fell on Chen Xuan, a look of utter greed in his eyes.
"Since this kid is skilled in alchemy, if I can seize his memories, with a little practice, I too will become a master alchemist!"
Master Cui was ecstatic, wishing he could possess Chen Xuan's memories right away.
"With my strength, I couldn't normally use the Spirit Seizing Technique, but now, within the Spirit Devouring Array, I can devour the power of heaven and earth to use this mysterious and unfathomable witchcraft!"
Master Cui was full of confidence, believing this to be a fated opportunity.
He wasted no more time, suddenly extending his withered hand and placing it on Chen Xuan's head.
He chanted incantations, and black streams of energy surged out.
At this moment, the trees and grass within a three-kilometer radius withered at a visible rate. Even with the continuous supply of heavenly power, large beads of sweat broke out on Master Cui's forehead, indicating that the Spirit Seizing Technique consumed immense energy.
However, this was no longer important. As long as he refined Chen Xuan's memories, he would become a master alchemist. What was the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce compared to that?
He would even have a place in the Dark Blood Organization!
However, as his black energy flowed into Chen Xuan's mind, preparing to refine Chen Xuan's memories, a stream of profound cyan light suddenly shot out from Chen Xuan's mind!
In an instant, it almost devoured Master Cui's consciousness that had entered Chen Xuan's mind!
"My alchemy skills aren't too bad, are they?"
A cold voice sounded.
"Not good!"
Master Cui's expression changed slightly. He forcefully withdrew his consciousness and instinctively retreated from the wooden house.
He stared at Chen Xuan, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
"Finally, the Spirit Replenishing Pill is refined!"
Chen Xuan exhaled.
He raised his head, scanned Master Cui and the others, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness, and murmured, "Although there were some minor issues, it's fortunate that it was successfully refined!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rich pill fragrance spread out, causing everyone present to tremble involuntarily, as if their cells were cheering and leaping.
Indeed, the Spirit Replenishing Pill held immense attraction for cultivators!
"Chen... Mr. Chen!"
At this moment, Black Tiger opened his eyes. Seeing Chen Xuan who had finished refining the pill, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xuan frowned, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
That single glance made people tremble and their hair stand on end!
He moved, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Black Tiger.
Seeing Chen Xuan's miraculous skills, Black Tiger felt a surge of relief, "Mr. Chen, you finally refined the pill. These people are from the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce, they want to avenge those two..."
Cold light flickered in Chen Xuan's eyes. He still said, "Black Tiger, you rest for a while, I'll take you back later."
Black Tiger forced a wry smile, blood gushing from his mouth, "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid I can't go back with you. If something happens to me, give my ashes to my cousin... he's in the suburbs..."
"I, Chen Xuan, will never stand by and watch a brother die!"
Chen Xuan vowed with certainty.
With that, Chen Xuan quickly took out several silver needles and inserted them into the acupoints on Black Tiger's body.
Instantly, the huge wound on Black Tiger's chest stopped bleeding.
Then, he raised his hand and injected a stream of profound cyan energy into Black Tiger's body, temporarily preserving a glimmer of hope for him.
Master Cui narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Xuan and smiling, "Chen Xuan, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be not only a master alchemist but also highly skilled in medicine. Come back to the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce with me, and the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce can overlook your killing Elder Wu."
He thought to himself: The Spirit Seizing Technique requires the target to be relaxed. First, trick him into lowering his guard, then use the Spirit Seizing Technique.
"Overlook it? But you attacked my brother, Chen Xuan. This matter requires an explanation, doesn't it?" Chen Xuan said coldly.
