Chapter 2273: Chapter 2274: Confrontation
The power of this strike was unexpectedly terrifying!
Chen Jie’s delicate leg bent, and crimson blood continuously spewed from her throat as she doubled over, causing her to cough violently.
Regarding Tao Yuyu, she knew his strength was formidable, but just with this one strike, she found herself completely defenseless!
Even though Chen Jie was injured, she couldn’t even see the direction in which Tao Yuyu moved, and suffered a heavy blow!
"Now you know the gap between us from before."
Tao Yuyu sneered, as if this strike had greatly released the pent-up frustration he had felt back in the spiritual realm.
He initially had the strength of the peak of the Spirit Pill stage, just a step away from the Spirit Embryo stage. Such ability at this age was already extraordinary.
If not for the unique aura in the spiritual realm, Tao Yuyu wouldn’t have fallen so low, and those like Lin Chen and Chen Jie, who were originally inferior in strength, dared to ride over him!
How could this not make him furious?
Chen Jie said nothing, just looked at Tao Yuyu with a faint smile. Although she was not Tao Yuyu’s match, it wasn’t so easy to bring her down either.
With a cold smile, Chen Jie pulled out a jade bottle, filled with numerous Scarlet Pills prepared by Chen Lin for emergencies.
After all, here, strength is everything. If Chen Jie encountered unavoidable trouble, she could use these pills to temporarily boost her strength for escape.
These pills didn’t enhance as much as the ones Lin Chen used, though their side effects were also milder.
That’s why Chen Lin prepared so many of them.
"Do you think using this, you can escape from here?"
Tao Yuyu wasn’t surprised at all. He knew well what Chen Jie was holding. But even knowing, Tao Yuyu didn’t try to stop her, just watched her with a sneer.
He didn’t believe that Chen Jie could escape his grasp with these pills.
Tao Yuyu stood still, with his fist clenched, waiting for Chen Jie to swallow the pills, like an experienced hunter meticulously guarding against the prey’s desperate counterattack.
Chen Jie remained silent, yet as Tao Yuyu said, the enhancement from these pills was indeed limited because Chen Lin feared the extreme side effects, thus diluting the potion.
However...
Chen Jie exhaled a long breath, and determination filled her eyes.
As her gaze fell, the jade bottle in her hand ignited with an intense heat, causing it to rapidly melt away.
After the bottle disappeared, the pills inside fell entirely into Chen Jie’s palm.
In her palm, as the pills fell, they released a scorching spiritual energy, which didn’t disperse but instead intensified.
Under the burn of this heat, those pills in her palm completely melted down, turning into a thick liquid.
This liquid, thick as magma, was remarkably viscous.
"What are you trying to do?"
Tao Yuyu’s expression changed slightly. The pill’s medicinal properties, though a single one was not daunting, in Chen Jie’s current situation, became anything but simple.
Disregarding him, Chen Jie just glanced indifferently at Tao Yuyu, then opened her mouth, letting the viscous liquid slip down her throat from her hand.
The scalding liquid entered her throat, making Chen Jie grunt, half-kneeling on the ground, with cold sweat trickling from her forehead.
A single pill, taken alone, was harmless. But such reckless consumption as Chen Jie’s posed a significant problem.
The medicative properties of the pills, compounded from dozens, accumulated into a formidable force, not simply amalgamating.
Furthermore, under Chen Jie’s brutal refining, the intensity inherent in the spiritual energy merged with the liquid formed from the pills, swallowing it now with intense ramifications.
The violent medicinal energy churned Chen Jie’s stomach, causing severe pain, compelling her to clutch it.
But despite the pain, the spiritual energy in Chen Jie’s Dantian rotated rapidly, the speed far surpassing previous levels and more condensed!
"Madwoman!"
Tao Yuyu cursed under his breath, glancing at the fierce fighting Lin Chen in the distance, then at Chen Jie. In a moment, he found these two remarkably similar.
Slowly, Chen Jie stood up. In an instant, her body drenched in sweat, her long dress clinging to her shapely figure, revealing a hint of white beneath.
Her chest was still trembling slightly, a remnant of the pill’s pain, but now, this pain was suppressed by the surge of power within her.
Chen Jie’s right hand, which had been motionless, began to move once more.
The two sharp blades, though pierced, retained their edge as she deftly wielded them, her hands whirling.
"Heh, let’s see how capable you are now!"
Tao Yuyu barked lightly, lunging forward. His forte was speed, so even though Chen Jie’s strength had increased, he wasn’t overly concerned.
Moreover, despite Chen Jie’s enhanced power, she was still merely at the eighth level of Spirit Pill, far from Tao Yuyu’s opponent.
...
A rumbling noise erupted from the two places, especially where Lin Chen was, the racket was deafening from the clash of metal.
The more he fought, Lu Kang felt increasingly alarmed. In front of him, Lin Chen was like an unkillable monster, his spear having pierced Lin Chen’s chest several times. But those wounds seemed inconsequential to Lin Chen, who remained intensely fierce.
And those injuries, enveloped by the black Evil Qi during the battle, healed rapidly, reminiscent of the time when Lu Kang used a pill, only now the roles had reversed.
What terrified Lu Kang most was Lin Chen’s power did not dissipate after consuming the pill; rather, it intensified with the battle, as if this was Lin Chen’s true form.
This peculiar situation left even the experienced Lu Kang momentarily stunned.
Yet his strength was not substantially above Lin Chen’s, traditional attacks failing to wound him.
