Life-or-Death Pill!? Is that for real? Isn’t that just a theoretical drug?

He Xiangu looked at the small, round pill in her hand in a trance. The easiest way to save people in this world is to give one good medicine, and the simplest way to kill someone is to give them poison.

Qin Fen, noticing the look of hesitation on He Xiangu’s face, sighed softly. Since He Xiangu had this level of strength today, she must have a pretty good head on her shoulders. But unfortunately, she wasn’t showing the wits of an expert after having suffered multiple defeats in a row and with her lover injured.


Do I really need to resort to poison if I want you two dead?


These thirteen simple words sounded so arrogant hearing them at first but were nonetheless a fact.


A young man, who could take on seven martial arts experts single-handedly, would not need to resort to poison in face of two easily defeated people.


Life-or-death pill… life-or-death pill…
Lu Dongbin praised, again and again, looking at the pill in He Xiangu’s hand.
There is really a life-or-death pill in the world… anyone who can create this medicine is really a genius among geniuses.


He Xiangu watched Lu Dongbin take Life-or-Death Pill, worried. This pill wasn’t the life-saving golden pill of Daode Tianzun. Life-or-Death Pill, as the name implied, implied that you wanted to gamble with the God of Death.

Victory or defeat had nothing to do with its user’s willpower! And it surely wasn’t because you shouted in your heart that you didn’t want to die that could guarantee that you won’t die for sure.

Life-or-death pill was a pill that was completely dependent on one’s luck! If one could survive by relying on their strong willpower, then this pill would have entered the hands of many martial dao masters in the world. It would not have been the life-or-death pill.

Which martial dao master wasn’t a mentally strong person?

Lu Dongbin understood this, and the same was true for He Xiangu as well. This was a gamble, through and through. Whether he won or lost, both owed Qin Fen a favor.

Favors might be worthless in the eyes of many people, something not even worth a cent. But at the same time, a favor was as big as heaven itself in many people’s eyes.

Lu Dongbin was a follower of the firm and fierce martial dao. His view regarding favor was set: a favor was as big as the heaven for him.

Swallowing the pill, Lu Dongbin closed his eyes. Now, all he could do was one thing: wait for death.


Qin Fen looked at Lu Dongbin and then turned his gaze to He Xiangu. Finally, he looked at the nearby insect warrior Lan Caihe, whose head was buried in the ground and his rear lifted up high – someone who once used to be a strong expert of his generation.

But after having gone through death and rebirth once, a trace of reasoning made this powerful expert remember the fear of death after just one battle.

Only those who had really experienced it knew the process. Lan Caihe had experienced death, so he was more terrified of death than anyone. This had almost become a kind of instinct.

In the past, this instinct had been suppressed by his violent personality and powerful strength. Now, just a glance at Qin Fen’s attack had forced his instinct of being more afraid of death than anyone else out.

Qin Fen turned his gaze back to Lu Dongbin. Apart from compassion, there was another reason he saved these two, that was the problem of the insect warrior. Apparently, Elysium had a relationship with the insect warrior. This matter needed to be checked out.

Not for the Federation, not for the military, not for the tens of millions of ordinary people, but only for a promise. In the Golden Triangle, he promised Chen Feiyu that he would help him find the Founding Society, this horrible society’s nest, and destroy it.

Similarly, it wasn’t to prevent more people from suffering but to avenge Chen Feiyu’s sister.

Qin Fen never thought of himself as a hero that could worry about the country and its people. He was just a normal human with ordinary feelings. The only place he was different from the ordinary people was the strength he possessed. It was far, far more powerful!

After today’s fight, Qin Fen finally understood the difference between earth aura and the human aura. The power of earth aura merged with the martial dao could not be compared with the human aura.

Even between the martial artists of the same star-class, just the difference between human aura and earth aura was like the difference between heaven and the earth! Once one gained the earth aura, he would have already surpassed the level of an ordinary martial dao master.


Only after achieving earth aura could one truly step into the ranks of martial dao grandmaster!

After ten or so seconds, Lu Dongbin still didn’t show signs of going with the God of Death. There wasn’t a shred of any signs of difficulty on his face.

Qin Fen recalled the manual given by Enzo Rota, which clearly stated that this life-or-death pill was invincible and overbearing. Even if a martial artist like Qilin dared to swallow it and didn’t use that overbearing internal art to block it for the next three seconds, it’d overcome!

Enzo Rota guaranteed that the Federation would no longer have any Qilin divine beast martial artists.

Lu Dongbin still being among the living after more than ten seconds of taking the life-or-death pill was enough to explain everything. The God of Death had lost the gamble this time.

Lu Dongbin opened his eyes slowly. His pupils were filled incredulity. The previously deteriorating injuries in his body, the inactive cells were splitting quickly, healing him! What a fast recovery! It’s not much slower than biochemical beast’s.

His pale face no longer looked ugly in the blink of an eye. Colour also returned to his pale lips. His fingers that he could not stretch out before were no longer clenched into tight fists.


Ahhh…


A miserable scream suddenly resounded in the forest not far from them…

Qin Fen looked along the direction of the scream. In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so miserable screams resounded in the forest, followed by a loud clap from a powerful impact as a tyrannical strength soar into the sky.


Qin Fen identified that the true energy belonged to the Inferno expert, God of Night! This bout of true energy weakened as soon as it erupted as if it was hit hard.

At the same time, a stream of energy erupted in the forest! An inexplicable cruel and violent energy filled with a blood smell! Qin Fen even felt a very evil feeling as soon as it erupted.

Evil!?
 Qin Fen had encountered many martial artists since his debut, all kinds of martial artists in Sacred Martial Hall. But he had never encountered a martial artist with an evil aura.


Bro Zhanpeng, it appeared!



Let’s do it!



No need to be anxious.
The Jungle Ranger standing in the front row straightened its right arm, blocking all the members who were itching to give it a try.
Elysium and Inferno members have nothing to do with us. Even if this thing ate them, it will not increase its strength much. Let’s wait a bit more, there are wounded people like Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu in that disordered battlefield. Even if they seem to be recovering from their injuries, they won’t recover instantly. Isn’t it strange that it hadn’t been tempted? Also, isn’t the God of Night running towards that ruined battlefield?



But Du Peng…



What are you afraid of? Before that thing hits Du Peng, it needs to finish Qin Fen first.



I guess, you’re right! Big Bro Zhan’s brother is much stronger than Bro Zhanpeng’s younger brother.



Sigh… this kid had not untied the knot in his heart. Otherwise, he will not be lacking much.



In between the sigh, the God of Night had already rushed out of the jungle. He was extremely fast, faster than when he fought Qin Fen. One could really not tell that this was his performance after he had suffered injuries in a recent battle. His two arms were recovering quickly with the help of the biochemical beast. His entire body was stained in blood. He was running in a state of loss.


Monster…monster!


The God of Night didn’t seem to have noticed Qin Fen. He almost brushed past Qin Fen, muttering a word non-stop.

Suddenly, Qin Fen recalled the projection seen at Saturn’s military base, the captain who had his throat slit and vocal cord ripped. He too spoke the same word, ‘monster’, over and over again!

The God of Night was extremely fast, the pressure of death made him erupt with a stronger strength than before.

In the blink of an eye, the God of Night had left Qin Fen behind…


Not good!


The Jungle Ranger standing in the front yelled at the same time Qin Fen was hit with a realization. Dust suddenly rose from under Qin Fen’s feet as his figure flew back to rescue…

The Jungle Ranger’s armor suddenly shattered into pieces as a figure flew out from the mobile armor.

The moment the two reacted, the God of Night had already arrived before Du Peng. All the fear in his eyes had turned into a fanatical killing intent. He twisted his waist and his shoulder shook as he aimed right at the center of Du Peng’s figure. He placed his right arm at his waist like he was drawing a bow full before his arm flew out like a torpedo fired from a submarine; a knife-hand strike stabbed right at Du Peng’s chest.

This stab was called Splitting Water Cut. It was God of Night’s ultimate assassination technique. It could be used to stab or cut from bottom to top. Even the giant waterfall on Saturn could easily be split into two from bottom to top by this knife-hand strike.

Neither Qin Fen nor Du Zhangpeng expected this. And the bearer of everything, Du Peng, similarly didn’t expect that the seemingly scared Inferno expert, who only knew how to escape, would actually rush back to kill after escaping!

This change was too fast! This was also an impromptu idea for God of Night. Almost all of Inferno’s troops had been annihilated in this attack. And what more, they had not acquired the new energy and the new metal. If he returned like this, punishment was inevitable. If he could kill a member of the military department and seized the new energy and the new metal, then everything would be different!

Furthermore, if the monster behind him noticed the body of an expert, it could also give him some time to escape.

The crisis came suddenly. Du Peng was caught unprepared. He drew a cross before his chest. This wasn’t defense but offense! The Cross-Cut of the Phaseless Water Bird Art!

Squish squish…
 God of Night’s previous injuries weren’t light. Blood squirted out from his arms several times as he suddenly clenched his stabbing fingers, smashing through the armor on Du Peng’s chest.

Bang… crack…

The God of Night was too fast. The metal armor of the Jungle Ranger was broken into pieces instantly. In the next moment, Du Peng’s sternum cracked. As long as his fist advanced half an inch more, the God of Night was sure that he could take Du Peng’s life…

The bright sky turned darker at this moment as the air turned hotter. The God of Night suddenly felt a tremendous pressure pushing down him from the sky. If he continued pushing the fist even a bit, his life might…

At the moment of crisis, the God of Night employed the God Bears the Pagoda with his arms, crossing his arms over his head, taking the extremely yang Emperor’s Fist of Caesar.
