Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 411: Chapter 407: Testing Pills on Humans, Slaying

The Yan Tribe.

Located in the center of the Underground Palace Realm, this was its strongest tribe. As far as the eye could see, towering mountains stood tall. Amidst the lush, ancient forests, palaces rose from the ground everywhere.

Waterfalls and rivers, like silver dragons, spread across the land.

At this moment, under the guidance of Young Master Yanluo’s messenger, Ning Jiang smoothly entered the heavily guarded Yan Tribe.

The messenger’s eyes were somewhat vacant, and he obeyed Ning Jiang’s every word.

This was because Ning Jiang had used the Mind Control Technique from within the God Obliteration Technique to temporarily control him.

After entering the Yan Tribe, Ning Jiang followed the messenger inward for half an hour before finally stopping on a mountaintop.

"My lord, Young Master Yanluo is inside."

The messenger pointed toward the grand hall on the summit.

"AH! Young Master Yanluo, please spare me!"

Suddenly, a horrifying, blood-curdling scream echoed from within, chilling to the bone.

Inside an Alchemy Room within the grand hall, several figures were bound tightly by chains to an iron pillar, unable to move.

In the center stood a young man in a black robe. His features were somewhat effeminate, and his sweeping gaze made one feel as if they were being watched by a venomous snake.

"AHHHH! Young Master Yanluo, you’ll die a terrible death!"

The one screaming was a Martial Artist tied to the iron pillar. The blood in his body was boiling and burning; in the end, even his internal organs began to incinerate.

After a dozen or so breaths, his entire body had turned to ash.

"It seems I’ve failed again. The Elixir’s power is a bit too explosive. I need to find a way to temper it."

The black-robed youth was Young Master Yanluo. He stared at the ashes on the ground, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

The next moment, his gaze shifted to another Martial Artist. Holding an Elixir in his hand, he walked toward him.

"Young Master Yanluo, you’re using us to test your elixirs! Aren’t you afraid of incurring Celestial Punishment for such actions?"

Knowing he was doomed, the Martial Artist targeted by Young Master Yanluo began to curse loudly.

"To die testing my elixirs is your honor."

Young Master Yanluo said coldly, completely unconcerned with their lives.

The number of Martial Artists he had killed while testing elixirs was at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. In his eyes, their lives were no different from ants; he simply didn’t care.

The Elixir he was currently testing was one of his latest creations, the Heart-Bursting Pill. It was an upgraded version of the Blood Spirit Pill. While the Blood Spirit Pill could at most double a person’s strength, the Heart-Bursting Pill could increase it by at least four times.

However, he was still one step away from perfecting it.

He immediately pinched the unlucky Martial Artist’s mouth open and was about to shove the Elixir inside, much to the man’s terror, when footsteps echoed from behind him.

"Who’s there?"

He spun around like lightning, only to see a white-haired young man strolling leisurely inside.

"Testing elixirs on people... You’re quite ruthless," Ning Jiang said indifferently, his gaze sweeping across the room.

’This kind of thing isn’t exactly rare, though. Some alchemists from evil schools use human bodies for their experiments.’

’Only through human trials can one quickly identify an Elixir’s flaws and make improvements. Otherwise, developing an Elixir through gradual exploration could take an eternity, and the most tragic outcome is that one might never succeed in their entire life.’

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Young Master Yanluo’s eyes turned cold.

"I’m the one who has come to kill you!"

Killing intent suddenly erupted in Ning Jiang’s calm eyes. "You use living people to test your elixirs and slaughter the innocent. You’re no different from the Demon Race. You deserve to be killed!"

Originally, he hadn’t come here with much intention to kill Young Master Yanluo.

He was the type of person who believed in fair trade. Even if he came to take Young Master Yanluo’s Treasures, he would have exchanged something of equal value, such as Cultivation and Martial Techniques.

But for what Young Master Yanluo had done, even death would be too good for him.

"HAHAHA! Kill me? That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard." Young Master Yanluo laughed maniacally as a tyrannical aura erupted from his body without reservation.

Ning Jiang’s expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his palm, an Array Disc flew into the air.

The Array Disc was the size of a palm and covered in runes. The moment it took flight, a barrier of light spread out from it, enveloping the entire hall.

This was an Array that isolated sound. With it active, nothing that happened here would be heard by anyone outside.

He had come to the Yan Tribe this time fully prepared.

"Die."

Young Master Yanluo radiated killing intent. It was not for nothing that he was called Yama; he was bloodthirsty and ruthless. He thrust out a palm, and a black ghostly claw materialized in the room. Laced with sinister Ghost Qi, it swiped forward, and the air in the room instantly grew cold and grim.

"Yama Ghost Claw."

"The Thunder Dao suppresses all things sinister and evil!" Ning Jiang’s face showed disdain. He threw a punch, and a bolt of purple Thunderbolt shot out like a Flood Dragon, pouncing forward and tearing the black ghostly claw apart.

"What?"

Young Master Yanluo was stunned, unable to believe that his attack had been so easily broken by Ning Jiang. Among the younger generation of the Underground Palace Realm, there was absolutely no one who could have done that.

"Your strength isn’t bad. In Liang Province, you could probably rank in the top five of the younger generation," Ning Jiang said faintly.

How vast was Liang Province? It was at least a hundred times larger than the Underground Palace Realm.

For this Young Master Yanluo to have such strength in a small place like the Underground Palace Realm was already quite remarkable.

"Liang Province? Who in the world are you?"

Young Master Yanluo watched Ning Jiang with apprehension, having already realized something was wrong.

"The dead don’t need to know such things."

Too lazy to waste any more words, Ning Jiang thrust out his hand. A torrent of roiling Thunderbolt surged forth, instantly engulfing the entire space.

"Bastard."

Young Master Yanluo flew into a rage. He immediately took out an Elixir and swallowed it—it was none other than the Heart-Bursting Pill he had just been testing.

The pill was not yet perfected, but Young Master Yanluo had been pushed into a corner by Ning Jiang. The power of Ning Jiang’s attack made him realize that he had no choice but to risk his life.

"I want you dead!"

Young Master Yanluo’s eyes were filled with killing intent. After swallowing the Elixir, he didn’t even know if he would survive, so naturally, his hatred for Ning Jiang ran bone-deep.

A berserk aura surged from his body, continuously climbing until it had increased fourfold.

At this moment, the power radiating from him was comparable to that of Yun Dingtian when he had unleashed his full strength.

"Oh? This Elixir is quite extraordinary. If you were facing Yun Dingtian, you might have stood a chance. A pity you ran into me."

As he spoke, a flash of sword light appeared. The Thunder Punishment Sword was unsheathed and in Ning Jiang’s hand.

"Sword Reversing Heaven and Earth."

Extremely decisive, Ning Jiang directly executed the fourth style of the Myriad Swords Technique—the very same sword strike that had defeated Yun Dingtian.

A sliver of sword light, as thin as autumn water, sliced through everything and flashed across Young Master Yanluo’s body.

"I... am... not... reconciled..."

His eyes remained open as his body fell to the ground.

Ning Jiang searched his body and quickly found the collected Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in his Storage Ring.

Just as Ning Jiang put away the Storage Ring and was about to leave, an elderly figure stepped inside.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, he sensed that something was wrong. A vast Power erupted with a BOOM—it was Domain Power!
