Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1993: The Immortal Pill Escaped!
A bottle of Immortal Pill typically contains ten pills; if the four Star-Picking Scholars each take two, eight will be taken.
As for the remaining two pills, the four of them found it hard to distribute, thus Star-Picking Scholars suggested letting the tens of thousands of warriors at the mountain’s base compete for them.
The other three demigod-level masters, all seasoned and shrewd, heard the suggestion and had no objections.
The tens of thousands of experts below the mountain were no ordinary characters. For the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, they traveled a long way, and if they got nothing, they might become enraged and launch a collective attack against the four Star-Picking Scholars.
Though demigod-level masters are formidable, tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation Experts attacking together would be no small matter. Even deploying a strategy of relay attacks could exhaust the four demigod-level masters.
Rather than facing such a situation, it’s better to give them some hope, encouraging them to abandon thoughts of a desperate battle.
Therefore, the extra two Thunder Essence Immortal Pills could help the four easily avert a big problem, why not do it?
After reaching a consensus on the distribution of the Immortal Pills, the four positioned themselves in the east, south, west, and north of Burial Artifact Peak, gathering spiritual energy and preparing to attack the thunder shield a few dozen feet away.
Their conversation was heard clearly by the tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation Experts below Burial Artifact Peak, and excitement and thrill were evident on every face.
They originally thought that the four demigod-level masters would devour the entire bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pills, yet they didn’t expect to actually get two pills for themselves to compete over, which caught everyone off guard.
Though two Immortal Pills are far from enough for tens of thousands of experts, each one of them felt their strength was superior and had confidence in obtaining one.
As for the four Star-Picking Scholars, unless the tens of thousands of experts united against them, no one dared to covet the Immortal Pills in their hands.
The two Thunder Essence Immortal Pills given up by the four easily divided them, making it impossible for them to unite.
"Brother Fang, can the four of them break through that thunder shield?"
Xiao Ying asked softly behind Fang Bai.
Fang Bai, with blazing eyes, looked at the four Star-Picking Scholars, and nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
Xiao Ying gasped, "Won’t they obtain the Thunder Essence Immortal Pills then? Are we really to compete with tens of thousands of experts for the remaining two?"
"Using two Immortal Pills to dissolve the threat of a mass attack. Those old foxes are cunning enough!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable murmured to himself.
Fairy Xuanbing did not speak, but her face showed contempt, clearly sharing the same sentiment as the Flood Dragon Venerable, thinking the four Star-Picking Scholars were indeed cunning.
Fang Bai laughed, "Want to get the Immortal Pills? Hehe, it might not be that easy!"
Qin Yaorao, who knew Fang Bai the longest and understood him deeply, saw his mischievous smile and knew he had plans for the Immortal Pills. She asked, "Fang Bai, with all your tricks, can you get those two Thunder Essence Immortal Pills? It seems both you and Ruhua could make use of them!"
Dongfang Ruhua possesses the Innate Thunder Spirit Root, and the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill could help her enhance her strength.
Fang Bai has the Chaos True Body; not to mention the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, any attribute elixir would be beneficial to him.
Fang Bai said, "Why only think of two? My target is an entire bottle!"
Liu Qingqing exclaimed, "A whole bottle... Brother Fang, we have to face off against the four demigod-level masters!"
Fang Bai mysteriously pointed to the top of Burial Artifact Peak and said, "Keep your eyes wide and watch closely, there will be a good show soon!"
Thus, Xiao Ying and others directed their gaze once again to the peak of Burial Artifact Peak.
"Gentlemen, whether we can obtain the Thunder Essence Immortal Pills is at this moment!"
At the peak of Burial Artifact Peak, Star-Picking Scholars’ eyes gleamed with brilliance and, with a roar, his fists launched out, two spiritual energies like Twin Dragons Emerge from the Sea, clawing towards the thunder shield ahead.
At the same time, Chan Master Lei Yin, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and One-Armed Divine Nun, the other three demigod-level masters, also simultaneously launched their own attacks.
This strike used up all their accumulated strength, leaving no stone unturned in attempting a one-hit success.
The tens of thousands of experts below raised their heads, gazing unblinkingly, their eyes filled with anticipation.
For them, if the four demigod-level masters got the Immortal Pills, it meant they had a chance to compete for the remaining two pills; otherwise, no one would get any.
"Crack!"
Just as the attack of the four Star-Picking Scholars was unleashed, a lightning bolt slashed down from the dark clouds above, directly targeting Wind Pursuit Taoist.
Fortunately, Wind Pursuit Taoist, being a wind-type cultivator, excelled in speed and barely dodged the lightning strike, though it startled him into a cold sweat, it didn’t injure him, and he was immensely relieved.
"Boom!"
Immediately, after a deafening roar, the full-force strike of the four demigod-level masters collided with the thunder shield before them.
The thunder shield vibrated violently, emitting a "sizzle" sound, and after several breaths, it collapsed and vanished.
"Bravo!"
The tens of thousands of experts on and below the peak, upon seeing the almost indestructible thunder shield finally broken, erupted in cheers and excitement.
"Oh, Brother Fang was right, that thunder shield really got broken by them!"
Xiao Ying exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Star-Picking Scholars, that crafty old fox, is going for the Immortal Pills!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable noticed Star-Picking Scholars leaping forward to obtain the bottle of Immortal Pill surrounded by purple electric serpents and couldn’t help but feel anxious, worried that if the four demigod-level masters reneged and flew away with the entire bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, the tens of thousands of experts might find it hard to stop them.
Many Peak Thunder Tribulation Experts shared the same thought as the Flood Dragon Venerable, with several already taking to the air, surrounding Burial Artifact Peak and blocking the four demigod-level masters’ escape route.
Chan Master Lei Yin, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and One-Armed Divine Nun, however, did not worry about Star-Picking Scholars fleeing with the bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.
They’d dealt with Star-Picking Scholars for hundreds of years and knew that although the person was arrogant, they kept their word, and their character was trustworthy, unlikely to escape with the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.
Furthermore, even if Star-Picking Scholars wanted to escape with the elixir, breaking through the triangle formed by them would be difficult. Besides, all around Burial Artifact Peak were tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation Experts, keeping a close watch on his every move.
After the four demigod-level masters broke the thunder shield, Star-Picking Scholars darted forward like lightning and reached out to grab the bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.
Assuming the Immortal Pill was in hand, he didn’t expect to find the bottle spontaneously flying when his hand was still a few feet away, turning into a purple light, shooting up into the sky, disappearing far into the distance at a speed too fast for the eye to follow, past the barrier formed by the tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation Experts.
"The Immortal Pill escaped! Chase it!"
Tens of thousands of experts shouted and ran, each driving their spiritual artifact, giving chase with all their might.
The Thunder Essence Immortal Pill has now become ownerless, whoever catches it will own it.
