Mortal Alchemy

"Clang!"

Chen Ping and Luo Daoliu abandoned long-range attacks, engaging in close combat.

Their third-tier sword treasure clashed against the third-tier saber treasure, creating intense sparks.

...

Inside the waterside pavilion.

"Chen Ping and Luo Daoliu have clashed again; what a narrow road for enemies!"

"They fought to a draw last time. What will happen this time?"

"Chen Ping's strength has improved again, but Luo Daoliu's injuries haven't fully healed."

"This just shows that Luo Daoliu's luck isn't as good as Chen Ping's."

...

"Bang—"

Chen Ping was clad in black, white, and purple sword-scale armor, while Luo Daoliu was enveloped in a blood-red saber aura, sparks flying everywhere.

"Tap—"

Luo Daoliu retreated dozens of steps, his hand holding the saber slightly numb from the impact, his heart pounding:

"How long has it been? Not only has this person healed from his injuries, but his strength has also improved!"

Back then, the two of them had clearly suffered injuries of the same severity.

"Whoosh—"

"Roar!"

The Crimson-Eyed Tiger King opened its bloody maw, unleashing a sonic attack at Luo Daoliu.

Luo Daoliu's expression darkened, and he hurriedly dodged!

Then, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger King seemed to predict Luo Daoliu's evasive direction, its figure streaking with bloody light. In the next instant, it raised its tiger paw and slammed it down on Luo Daoliu.

"Bang—"

Luo Daoliu's body was sent flying.

Chen Ping's eyes lit up: "Little Tiger, well done!"

Chen Ping immediately stopped, muttering, "Nether King's Kowtow!"

"Die, die, die, die, die!"

The one-armed Nether King's phantom reappeared, kowtowing towards Luo Daoliu!

"Pfft—"

Luo Daoliu's face changed drastically. He hurriedly tried to summon his blood saber phantom, but his soul injuries hadn't healed yet.

As soon as he summoned the blood saber phantom, it collapsed, and the backlash caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Die, die, die!"

Then, the Nether King kowtowed.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Luo Daoliu forcefully endured this attack, and his face began to age. From a handsome youth, he instantly aged into a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old middle-aged man, his black hair turning white in an instant.

Luo Daoliu staggered, horrified: "What a bizarre soul attack, forcibly severing my soul and lifespan!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger King pounced again, its massive tiger paw striking Luo Daoliu.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

The blood-qi saber aura around Luo Daoliu began to collapse, and the claws tore several gruesome wounds, exposing white bones, on Luo Daoliu's body.

Luo Daoliu's heart sank to the bottom. He knew that if this continued, he would be beaten to death on the spot by this man and tiger.

Luo Daoliu roared angrily, "Chen Ping, the Eternal Sky Secret Realm has only just begun for a few months. Do you have to fight me to the death at this time, letting others take advantage?"

Chen Ping's expression was indifferent. He sneered, and the Aurora Sword in his hand vibrated violently, transforming into eight extreme sword images, surrounding Luo Daoliu:

"Senior Brother Luo, what are you saying? Are you allowed to kill me, but I'm not allowed to kill you?"

"Once I kill you, how many people in this Eternal Sky Secret Realm can compete with me?"

The moment the eight extreme sword images formed, Chen Ping, holding the Aurora Sword, slashed down with all his might.

"Bang—"

Luo Daoliu spat out blood again and could no longer suppress his physical injuries. Fresh blood began to flow from his body.

The saber aura around him was completely severed, and he couldn't condense it again in a short time!

Strike him while he's down!

Chen Ping's Dharma Body sword image flew out from his head and merged with the Aurora Sword.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

A piercing, teeth-aching sword aura formed.

Luo Daoliu's pupils constricted violently. He sensed a strong aura of death from this sword aura!

"Die!" The moment the sword aura formed, Chen Ping transformed into a Azure Lotus Flying Shadow, shooting towards Luo Daoliu.

"Damn it!" Luo Daoliu's face was extremely ugly. As a saber spirit root cultivator, he was actually forced into a desperate situation by a mortal body.

If he were hit by this sword aura, he would surely die!

In an instant, Luo Daoliu threw out the third-tier saber treasure in his hand, his eyes sinister, and he muttered:

"Explode!!!"

This time, it was Chen Ping's pupils that constricted violently. He felt a strong sense of deadly crisis: "Retreat!!!"

His figure retreated violently. For sword cultivators or saber cultivators, their swords and sabers were more important than their lives, let alone a precious third-tier saber treasure?

Luo Daoliu threw out the saber treasure, obviously intending to self-detonate it.

"Rumble!!!"

The third-tier saber treasure exploded, and the spiritual energy within a thousand-zhang radius went berserk, creating a huge mushroom cloud in place. This power shocked everyone.

Under the berserk spiritual energy, even Chen Ping's divine sense was disturbed, and he couldn't detect Luo Daoliu's figure.

After the smoke cleared, Luo Daoliu's figure was no longer visible.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes: "Luo Daoliu escaped!"

"Little Tiger, can you sense Luo Daoliu's location?"

A wight figure emerged beside the Crimson-Eyed Tiger King: "That person fled into the mountain peak."

Chen Ping immediately transformed into an azure light rainbow shadow, flying towards the mountain peak of the Human-Faced Bees, while his divine sense, reaching nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang, spread out.

After a cup of tea's time, he located Luo Daoliu's whereabouts:

"Senior Brother Luo, you are a noble saber spirit root cultivator, one of the top talents in the world. Why don't you dare to fight for your life and escape?"

"Senior Brother Luo, you are a noble saber spirit root cultivator, yet you are being chased by a mortal body cultivator. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the name of saber spirit root?"

"You must know that my master is the only sword spirit root in the world!"

"It seems that Senior Brother Luo really has no other means. Very well, when I catch up with you, I will send Senior Brother Luo on his way!"

Chen Ping's attempt to provoke Luo Daoliu was ineffective.

Luo Daoliu's face was extremely gloomy:

"Damn, bastard! If my injuries hadn't healed and I didn't have to search for fourth-tier spiritual herbs, how could I let you run rampant?!"

Although his face was gloomy, he didn't have the sense of desperation in the face of death. After all, the Heavenborn Sect dared to send him out, they gave him something to save his life in desperate situations.

Even if he was trash, he was still a saber spirit root cultivator. The Heavenborn Sect couldn't abandon him.

At the same time, he was extremely annoyed: "Why is his combat power so high as a mortal body!"

"That crazy woman, Gong Yue, actually cultivated such a dangerous direct disciple!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Suddenly, Chen Ping and Luo Daoliu heard a dense and dangerous buzzing sound in their ears.

A huge Human-Faced Bee appeared in front of them.

The Crimson-Eyed Tiger King spoke in a deep voice: "Master, it's the Human-Faced Bee Queen!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!"

"Hahahaha!!!!!"

The buzzing sound was like mad laughter.

The Human-Faced Bee Queen flapped its wings, and dense poisonous mist swept towards the two people and one tiger!

Chen Ping immediately cast Sword Qi Embodiment.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

The poisonous mist began to corrode Chen Ping's sword qi scales, and it also had the effect of concealing divine sense, causing Chen Ping to lose track of Luo Daoliu all at once.

Chen Ping frowned: "Little Tiger, you hold off the Human-Faced Bee Queen, I'll go get the Celestial Abyss Flower."

Killing Luo Daoliu was secondary; the most important thing was to take the Celestial Abyss Flower.

...

Inside the waterside pavilion, a group of Golden Core True Persons looked at each other.

"A first-tier mortal body is actually chasing after a saber spirit root cultivator!"

"This Luo Daoliu has really disgraced the saber spirit root!"
