Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1996: If You’re So Capable, You Do It!
"Elder Flood Dragon, if you ask me how confident I am in defeating these four demi-immortal level strongmen before us, I can’t say; but if you ask how confident I am in obtaining that bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, I can tell you: more than fifty percent!"
In response to the Flood Dragon Venerable’s inquiry, Fang Bai answered solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the Flood Dragon Venerable’s spirits lifted immediately, and he said loudly, "The purpose of our journey is for the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill! Haha, having a fifty percent chance of obtaining it is enough!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In the eyes of the Flood Dragon Venerable, Fang Bai never fought battles without assurance; since he said there’s a fifty percent chance of obtaining a whole bottle of the pill, it indicates a significant hope.
"If you want to obtain the Immortal Pill, you must defeat us four! Well then, let me first test the power of your Formation!"
The Star-Picking Scholar said, raising a palm to strike.
Amidst thunderous roars, a vast Spirit Qi Big Palm several meters wide instantly formed in the air, descending with immense force towards Fang Bai’s head.
As the Spirit Qi Big Palm descended, it felt as if the air under the palm was instantly evacuated, causing those on the edge of the palm’s wind, such as the Flood Dragon Venerable, to find it hard to breathe.
The Star-Picking Scholar perceived Fang Bai as the backbone of the eight and the Array Eye of the Formation, thinking that if he could incapacitate him, the great array would collapse on its own.
He also understood that the reason Fang Bai and the others could contend against these demi-immortal level strongmen was because of this Formation.
As long as one of them is severely injured or killed, preventing them from forming up, then the rest of the seven would be easily overwhelmed, and their talk of obtaining a whole bottle of Immortal Pill would become a joke and empty words.
"Fang Bai, be careful!"
"Brother Fang, watch out!"
Qin Yaorao and Liu Qingqing exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Though they had full confidence in the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, the reputation of the demi-immortal strongmen was so great that when the Star-Picking Scholar suddenly attacked Fang Bai, with frightening power, they couldn’t help but cry out a warning out of concern.
As the Star-Picking Scholar made his move, Fang Bai stepped left and threw his fists like hammers, striking upwards with all his might.
As the Array Eye of the entire Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, as soon as he moved, the other seven in the formation also moved in concert, each putting forth their full strength to strike upwards.
The sixteen strands of Spirit Qi struck upwards like sixteen enormous pillars, crashing against the descending Spirit Qi Big Palm, causing it to shatter and disappear.
As the Spirit Qi Big Palm disappeared, which felt like a mountain pressing down, Fang Bai and others let out a sigh of relief, feeling suddenly lightened all over.
"It’s a success!"
Xiao Ying jumped up in excitement.
Before this, she couldn’t have imagined participating in such a confrontation with a demi-immortal level strongman.
Before the Flood Dragon Venerable and others made their move, there was a bit of apprehension in their hearts, unsure if the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation could withstand the Star-Picking Scholar’s full-force strike.
Now, such a result undoubtedly gave them reassurance, delighting everyone and significantly boosting their confidence.
In contrast, the Star-Picking Scholar and others had a look of shock and disbelief.
In a showdown between strongmen, the outcome is often decided between a move or two.
The Star-Picking Scholar’s strike was not at full force, but Fang Bai and others responded hastily, and being on the defensive, the Star-Picking Scholar felt his chances of ultimate victory were less than fifty percent in a real battle.
In other words, fighting against the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation assembled by Fang Bai and eight others, the likelihood of the Star-Picking Scholar’s defeat was greater.
This thought was shared not only by the Star-Picking Scholar but also by the three other half-immortal strongmen observing the battle: Chan Master Lei Yin, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and the One-Armed Divine Nun.
"This Formation is exquisitely marvelous, the likes of which I’ve never seen! Star-Picking Old Man, there’s no need to continue; if you keep fighting, defeat is inevitable! Haha, to see you defeated once in my lifetime is a delight!"
Wind Pursuit Taoist laughed heartily at the Star-Picking Scholar.
The strength of the four demi-immortal level strongmen was evenly matched, one unable to surpass the other; at this moment, seeing the Star-Picking Scholar thwarted, the other three felt a sense of schadenfreude.
Although the Star-Picking Scholar was arrogant, he was no fool. Though full of reluctance, he had to admit that what Wind Pursuit Taoist said was true.
"You wily old Taoist, if you can, then you should give it a try!"
The Star-Picking Scholar rolled his eyes and said crossly.
Wind Pursuit Taoist shook his head and said, "I won’t try! I’ll admit that I’m not a match for this Formation either! In my whole life, I’ve seen many Formations, but this one formed by the eight of them is quite uncanny! I can’t break it!"
The One-Armed Divine Nun’s gaze was fixed on the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, observing carefully, trying to find a flaw, but to no avail, she sighed and said, "This Formation is seamlessly perfect, with no flaw, extremely formidable. I truly don’t know how these eight trained it!"
She only thought about how extraordinary this Formation was, never imagining it to be an Immortal Rank Formation.
Chan Master Lei Yin clasped his hands together, and from his turbid eyes burst out two sharp beams; he said in a deep voice, "In single combat, none of us four can defeat their Formation; perhaps we should join forces to first break through their Formation and then drive them away?"
He considered himself compassionate and merciful, concerned with driving Fang Bai and the others away without mentioning a word about killing.
As for whether the Star-Picking Scholar and the others had any intention of killing Fang Bai and his team, he wouldn’t inquire.
Moreover, he was unclear about the identities and backgrounds of Fang Bai and the others, thinking that someone able to teach such an amazing Formation to the eight must be a rather peculiar individual, thus harboring a bit of apprehension.
Chan Master Lei Yin was a "sly old fox," and the other three had survived in the vast world for centuries; couldn’t they be the same?
Thus, none of the four mentioned the word "kill," to avoid attracting trouble, but very tacitly agreed to join forces to drive Fang Bai and the others away.
To make even the four demi-immortal level strongmen apprehensive, Fang Bai and his group were indeed rare in the world.
So the four demi-immortal level strongmen released their own auras, with overpowering pressure slowly bearing down on Fang Bai and the others.
"If you eight agree to retreat now, we will not make it difficult for you. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to use forceful methods to drive you away!"
Chan Master Lei Yin said word by word.
Though his voice was not loud, when it reached Fang Bai and the others, it resonated like thunder, causing dizziness and earache.
Thankfully, the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation could resist all external forces, including sonic waves, neutralizing most of the sonic wave strikes; otherwise, the force from these two sentences alone could collapse the eight of them completely.
"To battle against four demi-immortal level strongmen, it’s an honor even in defeat!"
Facing the demonstration by Chan Master Lei Yin and others, those on the side of Flood Dragon Venerable not only weren’t fearful but instead appeared excited.
