Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1997: What the Hell Is Going On?

Under usual circumstances, even a powerful figure like Flood Dragon Venerable and Fairy Xuanbing, both having faced Heavenly Tribulation nine times, would not qualify to battle a Half-Immortal rank expert like Chan Master Lei Yin.

If Flood Dragon Venerable and others join forces to confront the four Half-Immortal rank experts, even if the outcome is defeat or even death, they would have no regrets and could still hold their heads high.

Fang Bai aims to obtain an entire bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, while Chan Master Lei Yin and the other three view the eight of Fang Bai as the greatest threat to acquiring the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, leading to the battle between the two sides officially beginning at the next moment.

Fang Bai taught Flood Dragon Venerable and others the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, originally intending to create a five-way confrontation against the four Half-Immortal rank experts, thereby increasing their chances during the five-party struggle over the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.

Unexpectedly, the four led by Chan Master Lei Yin regarded them as formidable enemies, intending to drive them away from Burial Artifact Peak.

Fang Bai was aware that if they were driven away, securing even a single Thunder Essence Immortal Pill would become extremely difficult.

Therefore, Fang Bai decided not to yield an inch. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Fortunately, when the eight of them used the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, although they lacked the ability to defeat their adversaries, they could still hold out for a period of time.

Fang Bai’s plan was to delay and await changes, sitting in anticipation of the right moment.

As for what that moment might be, only Fang Bai could speculate to some extent.

The battle between both sides resembled an attack by the five Half-Immortal rank experts, and the clash of Spiritual Energy generated powerful shockwaves that swept away everything at the peak of Burial Artifact Peak, except for the pill bottle, causing enormous boulders to tumble down and echoing through the mountains.

Belonging to a special existence and having endured countless lightning strikes over the millennia, Burial Artifact Peak was exceptionally resilient; otherwise, during the confrontation of these Half-Immortal rank experts, the entire mountaintop would likely have collapsed.

"This formation is extraordinary!"

Chan Master Lei Yin and others occasionally exchanged glances filled with shock and helplessness.

Initially, they believed that by joining forces, they could quickly dismantle the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation of their opponents, but unexpectedly, the eight-person formation grew stronger with resistance, enduring their relentless assaults and even occasionally launching counterattacks.

Individually, Fang Bai’s group of eight was far weaker than any of the four Star-Picking Scholars. However, relying on the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, they held out for a full half-day. Only when Xiao Ying, Shao Qingyun, and Lin Feng exhausted their Spiritual Energy, causing significant turbulence in the formation, did signs of collapse begin to appear.

"Palace Master, what should we do?"

Seeing the formation barely sustaining, Flood Dragon Venerable couldn’t help but feel anxious.

If the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation broke, even if Star-Picking Scholars didn’t kill them, they would be forced to leave Burial Artifact Peak, losing the chance to contend for the Immortal Pill.

"Retreat!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fang Bai led Flood Dragon Venerable and the others away from Burial Artifact Peak, flying to another mountaintop dozens of miles away.

Seeing Fang Bai and his group suddenly retreat, the four Star-Picking Scholars felt bewildered, unclear why Fang Bai first chose to confront them strongly, only to retreat suddenly.

"What are those little brats up to? They wanted the fight, and now they’re the ones retreating... Hmph, wasted a lot of our Spiritual Energy!"

One-Armed Divine Nun looked at Fang Bai and his group on the opposite mountain. After thinking about the half-day battle that consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy, requiring at least one or two more hours to recover, she felt indignant.

"Their withdrawal is the best outcome! Let’s rest for a bit and prepare to strike the lightning shield around the Immortal Pill. This time, care must be taken not to let the Immortal Pill escape!"

Said Chan Master Lei Yin, sitting down cross-legged first, facing the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill to adjust his breath.

Seeing this, Star-Picking Scholars, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and One-Armed Divine Nun also took seats in the other three directions, closing their eyes to adjust their breath, seeking to quickly regain their strength.

"Palace Master, is that it? Even if we can’t get a whole bottle of Immortal Pills, getting one or two pieces would be good!"

Flood Dragon Venerable clenched his fists, full of unwillingness.

"Why not adjust our breath a bit, restore our strength, and continue the battle with them?"

Fairy Xuanbing was also unwilling to sit back and do nothing.

Although they showed signs of defeat in the previous battle, it had dispelled their fears of the Half-Immortal rank experts, boosting their confidence.

They believed that after adjusting their breath and resuming the battle, their cooperation in the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation would become more proficient, able to unleash greater power.

"Wait... let’s wait a bit more..."

Fang Bai suddenly sensed something, instantly extending his Divine Sense over a hundred miles, perceiving tens of thousands of Spiritual Energies flying towards them, murmuring, "The tens of thousands of experts who previously chased the Immortal Pill now realize they’ve been played by the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill and are returning..."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Xuanbing and others released their Divine Senses to investigate.

Fairy Xuanbing and Flood Dragon Venerable almost simultaneously sensed tens of thousands of Spiritual Energies rapidly approaching, followed by Qin Yaorao and others.

"It’s really them..."

Finally, Xiao Ying’s Divine Sense detected tens of thousands of Spiritual Energies rapidly approaching Burial Artifact Peak, among which Xiao Ying found a few familiar, probably the nine-strength Thunder Tribulation experts who earlier exchanged words with Flood Dragon Venerable and Fang Bai.

"Let’s sit down and adjust our breath, and continue to enjoy the show..."

In the previous battle, Fang Bai was the core maintaining the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, hence consuming more Spiritual Energy than others. Fortunately, his unique physique allowed for fast recovery, or else the formation wouldn’t have held half a day.

The four Half-Immortal rank experts on Burial Artifact Peak seemed to sense the returning multitude of experts too, showing signs of anxiety and tension on their faces, hastening their breath adjustment.

In just the span of a thousand breaths, the vast group of experts who previously pursued the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill flew back and landed around Burial Artifact Peak.

"Haha, I guessed correctly, we were indeed fooled by that bottle of Immortal Pill!"

"Look, that Thunder Essence Immortal Pill has flown back to the peak of Burial Artifact Peak!"

"The four Half-Immortal rank experts of Star-Picking Scholars returned before us!"

"They’re adjusting their breath, seems they expended quite a bit of Spiritual Energy earlier..."

"Doesn’t this present a great chance for us to seize the Immortal Pill?"

"If you have the guts, go try! Heh, after all, they’re Half-Immortal rank experts; even at half strength, they’re not to be underestimated!"

"Let’s observe a bit more..."

The returning tens of thousands of experts focused their full attention on the four Half-Immortal rank experts at Burial Artifact Peak and the bottle of Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, overlooking Fang Bai and his group on the opposite mountain.

They noticed that not only was the lightning shield around the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill less sturdy than before, but even the strength of the four Half-Immortal rank experts had notably weakened, leading to restlessness.

Especially among some nine-strength Thunder Tribulation experts, who were already eager to try.

For them, this was an excellent opportunity; once the four Half-Immortal rank experts of Star-Picking Scholars fully recovered their strength, attempting to seize the Immortal Pill would become increasingly difficult.
