Chapter 1969 - 1965: Bloodthirsty Demon Pill
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lie’s expression changed dramatically.
"I’m not sure I understand what you mean?"
Zhang Lie took a deep breath, calming himself, and asked with a grim look on his face.
"Don’t understand? Then let me tell you, you will never truly submit to the Chen Family, because deep down, you never looked up to the Chen Family!"
"Having been with Yan Hall for so long, though your skills haven’t improved much, your discernment surely has. I suppose, in the entire Ancient Martial World, Yan Hall is one of the few forces you truly respect?"
"To you, our humble, unknown Chen Family is just an insignificant faction, not a worthy opponent for Yan Hall. If war breaks out, you surely believe Yan Hall has a better chance of winning!"
"So you think, even if you betray Yan Hall for the Chen Family now, gaining temporary peace, it’s a grave mistake, and remaining loyal to Yan Hall is the correct path, am I right?"
Chen Feng sneered as he spoke.
These words thoroughly revealed Zhang Lie’s inner thoughts.
This made Zhang Lie’s expression even more bleak.
"Do you... do you mean that you don’t trust me anymore?"
Zhang Lie gritted his teeth, looked at Chen Feng, and asked unwillingly.
"I gave you a chance, and I still say the same thing, I put the path to survival before you, but you chose the path of death, so does it matter if I trust you? Besides, even though I know you won’t willingly submit to the Chen Family, how can I trust you?"
Chen Feng said flatly.
"Well, well, well, Chen Family Patriarch, it seems you are determined to destroy me and the Fiery Sun Sect utterly!"
Zhang Lie’s face turned sullen, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Because he knew, continuing to pretend was meaningless.
Chen Feng had already seen through his thoughts.
No matter how convincingly he spoke, he couldn’t fool Chen Feng.
Compared to others in the Ancient Martial World.
Chen Feng’s level of cleverness was truly beyond Zhang Lie’s expectations.
"It’s not me that wants to destroy you, but you yourself who seeks your own destruction. Also, I’ll only kill you, not touch the Fiery Sun Sect, as I have use for it. I’ll find someone more obedient and capable in the Fiery Sun Sect to replace you, so rest assured, you can leave in peace!"
Chen Feng sneered as he spoke.
"Very well! As expected of the Chen Family Patriarch, as expected of Chen Feng who dares to vie with Yan Hall, your methods are truly ruthless. Today, I admit defeat, but before that, I have something I’d like you to see, may I know if the Chen Family Patriarch is interested?"
Zhang Lie squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said coldly.
"What is it you want me to see?"
Chen Feng slightly curled the corners of his mouth and asked with interest.
"I want you to see..."
Zhang Lie’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and a sinister killing intent rose on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to see how an existence like me, whom you regard as an ant, drags you down with me to the grave!"
The moment his words fell.
Zhang Lie acted immediately, retrieving a blood-red pill from his Space Ring.
This pill exuded a strong bloodstained odor.
Making one wrinkle their nose upon smelling it.
However, Zhang Li directly swallowed the pill.
The pill melted instantly in his mouth.
A terrifying energy swiftly spread through Zhang Lie’s body.
In an instant, all the veins on his body bulged, starkly visible under his skin.
Gradually.
The color of these veins turned purple.
And Zhang Lie’s eyes turned blood red at this moment as well.
This made him look as if he were possessed by a demon.
Seeing this.
Chen Feng also frowned slightly.
Feeling the dramatic change in his own body.
Zhang Lie’s eyes flashed red, he then looked at Chen Feng and rasped, "Chen Feng, you’ve forced me to this. This pill is called the Bloodthirsty Demon Pill, refined from thirteen kinds of rare toxins. It can instantly awaken the body’s greatest potential and burn all my life force, granting me endless power for one minute. Of course, I’ll die once the minute is up, but even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!"
After his words.
Zhang Lie charged directly at Chen Feng.
At this moment.
His body was constantly releasing True Qi.
However.
Perhaps due to consuming that Bloodthirsty Demon Pill.
His True Qi transformed into a blood-red color.
Looking intensely bloodstained.
Seeing this.
Chen Feng also frowned and then shook his head, "Struggling in vain, you sought your own death, you can’t blame me!"
As Zhang Lie charged towards Chen Feng.
He swung his right palm fiercely at Chen Feng.
This strike carried an incredibly destructive power.
Even a Heavenly Rank Late Stage expert couldn’t withstand it.
Zhang Lie shouted arrogantly at Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, die!"
With those words.
The palm struck fiercely towards Chen Feng’s body.
However.
Just as the palm was about to hit Chen Feng.
Chen Feng’s lips curled into a disdainful smile as he extended his right hand and easily caught Zhang Lie’s wrist.
This caused Zhang Lie’s overwhelming palm strike to halt in mid-air, immobile.
Zhang Lie was utterly stunned, his face filled with incredulity, and he exclaimed in terror, "Impossible! I took the Blood-sucking Demon Pill, how can you still withstand my strike?"
"You’re far too naive. If you were a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, taking this pill might pose some threat to me, but you are merely a Heavenly Rank Early Stage expert. Even after consuming the Blood-sucking Demon Pill, temporarily boosting your power greatly, at most you reach the Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak, not even close to Heavenly Rank Perfection, and you think you can kill me? Are you truly foolish?"
Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Lie with disdain and spoke contemptuously.
"Impossible! My power is immense now, I feel filled with strength, today I’ll see you die!"
Zhang Lie said in disbelief.
Then he swung his other palm, suffused with blood-tinged True Qi, intending to strike at Chen Feng fiercely.
"It’s over!"
Seeing this, Chen Feng shook his head, his left-hand forming a palm, struck towards Zhang Lie.
This strike, though devoid of any Martial Arts, only carried some True Qi.
Yet it contained unfathomable destructive force.
Under Heavenly Rank Perfection, perhaps no one could withstand it.
