In the eyes of the crowd, those scorching flames had made contact with Chen Yao's body. However, Chen Yao's body was not set ablaze, as they had expected.

Instead, those extremely hot flames strangely drilled into Chen Yao's body and disappeared.

The owner of the flame, Wang Fei, was even more astonished. He had already established a mental connection with the flame. At this moment, the flame had not only disappeared from his line of sight, it had also disappeared from his consciousness.

He no longer had any connection with the flame.

This was a fake 'Heavenly Flame' that he had spent a great deal of effort to obtain. Although it wasn't as strong as the 'Heavenly Flame' on the 'Heavenly Flame' ranking, it was still second only to those 'Heavenly Flames'. If it was lost just like that, how could he not be nervous?

Right now, his heart was aching. It was a real pain in his heart.

That was because in the same instant that Chen Yao broke the mental connection he had with the flames and he felt astonished, the Heaven Severing Sword in his hand pierced through his heart.

With a flip of Chen Yao's Heaven's Slaying Sword, his heart was completely shattered, and he lost his life in an instant.

In the final moment of his death, his eyes were filled with infinite regret.

Originally, he had wanted to take advantage of this situation. However, not only did he lose his flame, he also lost his life.

Regret.

A cultivator of the same cultivation level who had never cultivated a powerful technique and was relying on pills to raise his cultivation level did not pose the slightest threat to Chen Yao. Even though he was injured, he still killed like a dog.

It was all because of Wang Fei's bad luck.

He had used a flame to attack Chen Yao, and a flame with a certain level of power at that. This had piqued the interest of Shen Nong Cauldron, causing it to directly absorb the fake flame.

Chen Yao had not expected that Shen Nong Cauldron would have such an ability. However, as Shen Nong Cauldron was a godly equipment for refining pills, it wasn't surprising for it to have a special reaction to fire.

However, no one knew why the flame suddenly disappeared.

Thus, the gazes that everyone used to look at Chen Yao were filled with fear, as if they had seen a devil.

Chen Yao took a step forward, while those people all took a few steps back, each and every one of them trembling in fear.

However, Chen Yao did not act. Instead, he calmly looked at the crowd and said.

"I'll only say this one last time. I just want this place to let Wang Rong and I leave this place. I'll let bygones be bygones, you go, I'll go, we'll go, we'll be safe and sound, but if any of you still want to make a move on me, then I'm sorry, but don't think any of you can live today."

Chen Yao's tone of voice was not that domineering. Furthermore, his face was pale and he even coughed twice. It was evident that he was seriously injured. However, Chen Yao's words still ruthlessly intimidated everyone.

Wang Li gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Yao.

"Sir, I'm willing to offer you 100 Grade 3 medicinal pills. Please leave this place."

She had lowered her head.

A hundred Tier 3 pills, even if the market price was thirty thousand spiritual stones each, that would still be three million spiritual stones. It could be said to be a huge sum of wealth.

Even if Chen Yao was a Heaven's Chosen from the Sword Sect, three million spirit stones was still a huge sum of money.

Could it be that Chen Yao was not tempted?

Wang Li waved her hand. Between him and Chen Yao, there was a hundred Tier 3 spiritual herbs floating in the air. The spiritual energy in the air was several times denser than before.

Wang Li also felt pained.

Even to an apothecary, a hundred grade-3 pills was no small amount.

A Tier 3 apothecary could only produce around ten Tier 3 pills a year. Even his own father could only produce about a hundred Tier 3 pills a year.

As she gave these hundred pills to Chen Yao, Wang Li's heart bled profusely.

"Tsk tsk."

Chen Yao smiled and shook his head. However, he did not say a single word.

Wang Li felt that it was not enough and became even angrier. She cursed in her heart, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" He had been given face, but he still clenched his teeth and took out another five pills.

The spiritual energy within the five pills was extremely abundant; they were all Tier 4 spiritual herbs.

The value of five Tier 4 spiritual herbs was already over five hundred thousand spiritual stones.

In order to successfully kill Wang Rong, Wang Li had truly lost a lot of blood. This was probably all she had left.

"Sir, as long as you leave this place and keep it a secret, all of the pills here will belong to you."

Wang Li looked at Chen Yao with a complacent expression. From her point of view, it was impossible for Chen Yao to refuse such a huge enticement.

The eyes of the alchemists beside him were all red with envy. With so many pills, even they were tempted by it.

However, they never would have imagined that Chen Yao himself could concoct Tier 3 pills. Furthermore, with Shen Nong Cauldron, as long as he used sufficient ingredients, he could obtain as many Tier 3 pills as he wanted. He could also attempt to refine Tier 4 pills himself.

Using pills to buy Chen Yao off was simply a joke.

Even Chen Yao himself found this funny.

"Hur hur."

He laughed.

"Chen Yao, don't force me. You still want the medicinal pellets? This is already all of my savings. If you continue to force me, I'll only be in danger of losing my life."

Wang Li thought that Chen Yao wanted to swallow the elephant and the human heart, yet he still chose to do so. She could no longer hold herself back and turned against him.

Wang Rong, who was standing beside Chen Yao, seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Although Chen Yao was a prodigy of the sword faction, how could he not be tempted by so many pills? From Wang Rong's point of view, it was obviously impossible.

Maybe Chen Yao was embarrassed because of his pride?

Thinking of this, Wang Rong let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, he said to Chen Yao, "Young Master Chen, you should leave quickly with these elixirs. Even if you can kill these people and we can break out of this encirclement, with so many apothecaries dead in your hands, even the Sect Leader of the sword faction will not be able to protect you. It's good as long as it's there."

Chen Yao smiled.

This young lady even thought that she was tempted by these pills.

He took another step forward.

A flame appeared in his hand.

Everyone was astonished. This flame was actually Wang Fei's Hollow Flame from just now. Chen Yao had actually subdued it? How did he tame it? Chen Yao had clearly been here the entire time and had done nothing.

Furthermore, with such a flame, even a high-level apothecary would find it impossible to subdue it in such a short period of time.

Just who was this Chen Yao? To think that his methods were so monstrous.

"Let me tell you, I, Chen Yao, do not lack these medicinal pills."

Chen Yao waved his hand and the Hollow Flame in his hand directly flew toward those medicinal pellets.

Spiritual energy was instantly ignited.

In just a breath's time, all the medicinal pills were instantly burnt to ashes, not even ashes remained.

"What?"

The picture was too beautiful.

No one could believe it.

A hundred grade three and five grade four medicinal pills were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Even though they were apothecaries, they felt too much heartache over it.

However, it was not theirs. This was extremely fortunate.

Wang Li was stunned. Even if you don't want it, don't! Wang Li's heart was bleeding.

Wang Rong also stared blankly at Chen Yao.

It was not because he found Chen Yao's actions to be too cool, but rather, he felt that Chen Yao's brain was being too funny. Or perhaps, it was more accurate to say that Liu Hong's brain was being too funny. He actually liked a fool?

Were these elixirs truly worthless in Chen Yao's eyes?

Then, just how terrifying was his true identity?

"Chen Yao, I'll fight you to the death."

A hundred Tier 3 and five Tier 4 spiritual medicines were destroyed by Chen Yao in an instant. Wang Li was in a desperate state as a long ruler with a length of over a meter appeared in her hand. The ruler was completely red in color.

"Father actually gave you the Raging Flame Ruler?"

Wang Rong looked at the ruler that Wang Li had taken out with a serious expression.

"Ruler of Flames?"

Chen Yao turned his head to look at Wang Rong.

Wang Rong explained, "This is a low-grade heaven-step magic tool my father traded a Grade 7 pill for. With a swing of the ruler, it can release flames."

This flame is not just any ordinary flame, it is even more powerful than the one you just subdued, because that is a Yin Yang fire, a real 'Heavenly Flame' that is ranked fifth in the top ten 'Heavenly Flames' rankings. Once ignited, the Yin and Yang will complement each other, making it impossible to extinguish.

Wang Rong had a very serious and panicked expression.

A bright light flashed across Chen Yao's eyes.

The Ruler of Flames contained the power of the fifth ranked Mysterious Flames of Yin and Yang. This was a truly good item. Right now, Chen Yao really wanted to obtain it. He was somewhat excited.

Wang Rong was completely speechless at Chen Yao's foolish expression.

"Did you see that? "I have my father's Ruler of Flames, Chen Yao is already heavily injured. Everyone is going to kill Chen Yao together, and each of them will be rewarded with 500,000 spirit stones, and those who kill Chen Yao or Wang Rong will be given the chance to enter the Pill Pavilion."

Wang Li ordered the man in black clothes behind her to eat it.

When the Raging Flame Ruler appeared, everyone was shocked because they were all alchemists and could control flames. The Raging Flame Ruler could increase the growth of their spirit energy by multiple times, increasing their strength by a large amount.

Furthermore, the benefits that Wang Li had promised were extremely tempting.

There would always be brave men under the heavy reward. In the end, everyone still swarmed over to Chen Yao like a swarm of bees.

"Why? "Why?"

Chen Yao helplessly shook his head.

"Why did you come here to die and force me to kill someone?"

Chen Yao felt very passive.

How could he not know that the Sword Sect could not take the pressure from the Apothecary Guild after killing so many apothecaries? That was why he wanted to spare them.

However, there was nothing he could do about it now.

He could only kill.

"Little Silver, it's your turn."

Chen Yao turned around and hacked Wang Rong in the back. Wang Rong immediately lost consciousness.

At the same time, a silver figure suddenly sprang out from Chen Yao's chest. This figure instantly grew to the size of two individuals.

"Aooo."

A huge silver furred wolf appeared and howled towards the sky.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"..."
