"You're courting death!" Huo Ling'er roared in fury! Without a second thought, she raised her hand and unleashed a blazing palm print!
"Hmph! A mere grain of rice dares to shine?" The young man in the brocade robe sneered, not dodging or avoiding the attack! A powerful medicinal fragrance suddenly emanated from his body, and a faint green halo appeared on his skin!
boom!
The fiery palm print struck the pale green halo, but it was instantly shattered as if it had been thrown into the sea!
"What?!" Huo Ling'er was shocked! How could her Vermilion Bird True Fire be so domineering? It was so easily neutralized by the opponent?!
"Hehe, little girl, now you know how powerful I am, right?" The young man in the brocade robe said smugly. "This is my 'Hundred Herbs Body,' tempered with a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs! It's impervious to all magic! Your flames have no effect on me!"
Immediately, a lewd glint flashed in his eyes, and he actually reached out and touched Huo Ling'er's beautiful face: "Be a good girl and follow this young master, and you'll have a good life from now on!"
"Get out of the way!" Huo Ling'er was both shocked and furious, and quickly retreated to avoid it!
However, just as the young man in the brocade robe was about to touch Huo Ling'er!
A small, pink hand appeared like a ghost, striking first and grabbing his wrist!
"Huh?!" The young man in the brocade robe was taken aback, then flew into a rage. "Where did this brat come from?! Let go of me! Otherwise..."
Click!
Before he could finish his threatening words, a crisp sound of bone cracking rang out!
"what--!!!"
The young man in the brocade robe let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered! He felt as if his wrist had been clamped tightly by an iron clamp, and then... crushed!
The intense pain instantly contorted his face, and cold sweat poured down his back!
The one who made the move was naturally Shi Hao!
He looked at the guy in front of him who dared to flirt with Huo Ling'er and speak rudely to him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"If your hands aren't clean, don't take it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his arm!
puff!
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding tearing sound!
The young man in the brocade robe had his entire arm torn off from the shoulder by Shi Hao!
Blood gushed out like a fountain!
"My hand! My hand!!!" The young man in the brocade robe screamed even more shrilly, almost fainting on the spot from the pain!
The attendants and members of the Divine Medicine Sect around them were all stunned by the bloody and terrifying scene!
This seemingly harmless baby... is actually so ferocious?!
"You...you actually dared to cripple the young master's arm?! You're courting death!" A follower reacted, both shocked and furious, and immediately drew his weapon to rush forward!
However, before he could make a move, Shi Hao's icy gaze had already swept over him.
"Noisy."
boom!
Like swatting a fly, Shi Hao casually slapped out!
The attendant didn't even have a chance to react before he was sent flying like a broken sack, crashing into a wall in the distance, spitting blood, his fate unknown!
For a moment, the entire main hall of the Divine Medicine Sect was completely silent!
Everyone was completely stunned by Shi Hao's ruthless and merciless methods! Their gazes toward him were filled with fear!
"I'll ask you one more time." Shi Hao casually tossed the still-bleeding severed arm to the ground and calmly looked at the trembling steward. "Does your Divine Medicine Sect have the medicinal materials for refining the Lesser Nirvana Pill, or not?"
The steward, terrified by Shi Hao's gaze, dared not conceal anything further. He scrambled to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! Young...young master, spare my life! I have all those medicinal herbs! But...but they're all stored in the Supreme Elder's herb garden, and I...I can't make that decision!"
"The Supreme Elder?" Shi Hao raised an eyebrow. "Where is he? Take me to see him."
Just then, an old voice filled with endless anger and majesty rang out from the back hall of the Divine Medicine Sect like a thunderclap!
"How dare you! You dare to commit violence and injure people within the borders of my Divine Medicine Sect! And you even dare to covet my herb garden?!"
boom!
A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of the previous young man in brocade robes, swept over like a tidal wave!
An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a gray apothecary robe, with a withered face but exceptionally sharp eyes, appeared in the hall!
It was none other than Lin Kun, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect!
He was clearly alerted by the commotion outside, and when he saw his most beloved junior had his arm crippled, he was furious!
"You little beast! Did you do this?!" Lin Kun stared intently at Shi Hao, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
Shi Hao said calmly, "You old beast, it's his mouth and his hands that are dirty. I'm just teaching him a lesson on your behalf."
"Teach me a lesson?!" Lin Kun trembled with rage. "Fine! So you're going to teach me a lesson! Today I'll see just how much trouble you have that you dare to run wild in my Divine Medicine Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped wasting words and attacked without hesitation!
"A cage of ten thousand trees!"
Lin Kun formed hand seals, and a surge of powerful wood-elemental energy erupted!
On the ground, countless green vines burst forth like venomous snakes, instantly weaving together to form a huge cage that descended upon Shi Hao!
These vines are incredibly tough and are coated with paralyzing toxins. Once trapped, even a king or nobleman would be strangled or poisoned to death!
However, when Shi Hao looked at the vine cage that covered him like a net, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Playing with wood? Perfect, let me show you what real fire is!"
With a thought, he activated the Vermilion Bird Technique!
Tweet!
A loud phoenix cry resounded throughout the hall!
Crimson flames erupted from his body in an instant, transforming into a lifelike phantom of a fiery Vermilion Bird!
That flame was no ordinary fire, but the Southern Bright Fire, containing a trace of the Vermilion Bird's primordial divine power! Utterly yang and supremely strong! It could incinerate all things!
*Sizzle sizzle!*
The Flaming Vermilion Bird spread its wings and headed straight for the blue vine cage!
The moment they met! It was like dry wood meeting a raging fire!
Those incredibly resilient vines were like paper before the Southern Ming Fire! They were instantly ignited!
In just a few breaths! The imprisonment of ten thousand trees, powerful enough to trap and kill kings and nobles, was burned to ashes!
"What?! Nanming Li Fire?! You are..." Lin Kun was horrified when he saw his precious technique being broken so easily and felt the aura of the flames that made his soul tremble!
He suddenly remembered a possibility! And that terrifying legend that had recently gained notoriety in the desolate region!
However, Shi Hao didn't give him a chance to think at all!
"My turn!" Shi Hao snorted coldly!
A flash of lightning appeared beneath his feet as he unleashed the Kunpeng Speed, instantly appearing in front of Lin Kun!
It was just a simple punch!
But within this punch lies thunder, flames, reincarnation, and even a trace of the profound mystery of mending the heavens!
Lin Kun felt an irresistible and terrifying force strike his chest!
The protective aura shattered instantly!
Click!
His sternum was broken piece by piece!
puff!
He flew backward like a broken sack, crashing into several huge supporting pillars behind him before falling to the ground, spitting out blood and his breath instantly weakening to the extreme!
Although he did not die, he was severely injured and completely lost the ability to fight again!
"Even the Supreme Elder has been defeated?!"
"One move! Another instant defeat?!"
The remaining members and disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect were utterly terrified by this scene! They scrambled to their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy!
Shi Hao ignored the others and walked up to Lin Kun, who was severely injured and whose eyes were filled with fear and despair. Looking down at him, he said calmly, "Now, can you take me to your herb garden?"
Looking at the child before him, who resembled a young demon god, Lin Kun was filled with endless regret and fear. How could he dare to utter a single word of dissent? He could only nod frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice!
……
Under the "leadership" of Elder Lin Kun, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er entered the most heavily guarded back mountain herb garden of the Divine Medicine Sect without any hindrance.
It must be said that the Divine Medicine Sect truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient sect that relies on medicine. The size of its medicinal garden and the richness of its collection far exceed Shi Hao's imagination!
Rare and exotic flowers, herbs, and medicinal plants that are rarely seen elsewhere are as common as cabbages here!
Shi Hao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately started his "zero-yuan purchase"!
Not only did they find all the extremely rare main ingredients needed to refine the Lesser Nirvana Pill, but they also plundered most of the other spiritual herbs in the herb garden that looked old and of good quality!
During this period, there was naturally no shortage of "extortion".
Under the powerful threat of Shi Hao and the "patient persuasion" of the God-Slaying Stone, the pitiful Elder Lin Kun not only contributed all the rare medicinal herbs he had collected throughout his life, but was also forced to hand over an ancient pill formula that was the most treasured possession of the Divine Medicine Sect, as well as a lot of alchemy experience.
Watching Shi Hao's incredibly skillful extortion and plundering actions, Huo Ling'er was dumbfounded and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Hey, you rascal, how come you're so skilled? Do you do this kind of thing all the time?"
"Cough cough! No way!" Shi Hao blushed at the comment and quickly denied it. "This is my first time! My first time! Well, practice makes perfect!"
Huo Ling'er: "..."
She didn't believe it! This guy was definitely a repeat offender!
After looting the Divine Medicine Sect, Shi Hao was satisfied and had gained a great deal.
He looked at Elder Lin Kun beside him, who looked pained and on the verge of tears, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Old man, don't be so stingy. Out with the old, in with the new. These medicinal herbs are a waste to leave here. Why not give them to me? Maybe I can even reward you with one when I refine a divine pill in the future?"
Lin Kun: "..."
All he wants now is to get rid of this little devil as soon as possible!
