Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Gu Hanshan’s Trump Card
Translator: 549690339
A hint of a smile spread across Fang Lin’s lips as he held the silver needle in his mouth. He was counting on Gu Hanshan’s arrival, convinced that at such a close distance, there’s no chance for Gu Hanshan to dodge the attack.
Indeed, the moment that Gu Hanshan saw the flying silver needle, he knew there was no avoiding it.
But the very next instant, Gu Hanshan’s Nine Palace Bag suddenly spit something out. In a shocking split second, it blocked Gu Hanshan’s face.
Clang!
The silver needle struck the object squarely. Gu Hanshan retreated explosively, barely escaping death.
Fang Lin’s face instantly darkened. His carefully crafted strike, deployed in the blink of an eye, still hadn’t been able to take out Gu Hanshan.
Opportunities soon fade. Fang Lin sighed inwardly. Gu Hanshan had many tricks up his sleeve. No wonder he could venture this far on his own.
Ancient bronze token was floating in front of Gu Hanshan. On it was engraved the image of a pill furnace.
It was this old bronze token that had blocked Fang Lin’s silver needle and saved Gu Hanshan’s life.
With the old bronze token in hand, Gu Hanshan’s expression was one of lingering fear. He had been on the brink of despair, if it hadn’t been for this token’s opportune emergence from his Nine Palace Bag.
As it turns out, the token was given to Gu Hanshan by his father, Gu Daofeng. He had told him that it would come in handy at crucial times.
Only then did Gu Hanshan understand that the token had the power to save his life when death was imminent.
“Fang Lin, you’re going to die today for sure!” Gu Hanshan planted the token on his chest and attacked Fang Lin once more.
Fang Lin remained silent but continued the fight with Gu Hanshan with his giant bone club in hand.
Gu Hanshan now fought more freely with the protection of the token. However, Fang Lin was a little troubled. Every now and then, the old bronze token would emit a light that easily neutralized his attacks.
With the token on his side, Gu Hanshan was practically invincible, and Fang Lin’s every offensive was rendered ineffective.
Conversely, Fang Lin had to deal with each of Gu Hanshan’s attacks with all his might. Any slip-up would cause him injury.
“Seems like I can’t hold back any longer.” Fang Lin muttered to himself, deciding to stop holding back.
Fang Lin quickly pushed Gu Hanshan back with a single blow from his club and immediately took out a red pill. He swallowed it without hesitation.
“Huh?” Gu Hanshan’s face turned pale when Fang Lin swallowed the pill, sensing that something was off.
After swallowing the pill, Fang Lin’s aura increased tenfold. His face turned pale, and his eyes turned a bloody red.
A hint of mad and murderous intent sprouted from Fang Lin’s mind. Yet, he forcefully suppressed it, maintaining his sobriety and sanity.
Blood Evil Pill!
What Fang Lin had just taken was the Blood Evil Pill he had prepared, which increased his inner strength tenfold for six hours.
Gu Hanshan was a tough bone to chew, so Fang Lin had no choice but to rely on the formidable power of the Blood Evil Pill.
“What is…” Gu Hanshan’s pupils constricted. He could clearly sense an astonishing increase in Fang Lin’s aura, which was seven or eight times stronger than before.
Gu Hanshan was horrified. He never expected that Fang Lin would have such a terrifying pill, capable of amplifying his inner strength so much. It was almost unimaginable.
Gu Hanshan was a pill refiner himself. He knew many pill formulas but had never heard of a pill with such potent effects.
Pills to enhance inner strength were not unheard of. However, most of them only doubled it, and a fivefold increase was considered a heaven-defying effect.
Fang Lin’s Blood Evil Pill, on the other hand, gave a tenfold increase. It was absolutely outlandish.
A wave of fear washed over Gu Hanshan, and he considered retreating.
Fang Lin gave him no chance to think and immediately charged at him.
With one punch, loaded with mighty power, it seemed as if thousands of horses were galloping. Its presence was intimidating.
Gu Hanshan’s face turned grim. He couldn’t dodge Fang Lin’s powerful punch. If he tried to dodge, Fang Lin’s punch would become even more formidable, and he would not be able to withstand it.
With gritted teeth, Gu Hanshan utilized all his inner strength and retaliated with a punch.
Boom!
A dull collision echoed, as if two giant rocks had struck each other fiercely, causing ear-splitting pain.
Fang Lin stood there as sturdy as Mount Tai, with an aura that continued to surge, while Gu Hanshan took several steps back with a grunt, his left arm trembling.
The result showed in one punch!
The strength from the Blood Evil Pill made Fang Lin ten times more powerful. He was no longer inferior to Gu Hanshan, but rather had the upper hand.
Gu Hanshan was no match for Fang Lin in this state. The fact that his arm hadn’t broken yet was considered miraculous.
After this exchange, Gu Hanshan quickly realized that he was no match for Fang Lin and immediately fled deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.
As he fled, he patted a black pouch on his waist. A shadowy figure suddenly appeared, blocking Fang Lin’s path.
The figure was clad in black with his face concealed, making it impossible to determine his gender. This appearance, however, instantly reminded Fang Lin of the Hidden Kill Hall.
As soon as the man in black appeared, he took out a short knife, without uttering a word, and lunged straight at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin’s expression slightly sank. He didn’t want to get entangled with this person, but the man in black stuck to him like bone maggots, and after a brief combat, Fang Lin was taken aback at his extraordinary strength.
“You’re from the Hidden Kill Hall!” Fang Lin asked in a deep voice.
The man in black remained silent, each of his moves was extremely ruthless, and every attack was aimed at Fang Lin’s fatal points.
During the fight, Fang Lin vaguely saw a black ghost hand mark on the back of the man’s neck.
“Indeed, he’s from the Hidden Kill Hall!” Fang Lin voiced out his thoughts, feeling increasingly uneasy.
“Fang Lin, we’re here to help!” At that moment, Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun arrived. Together with Fang Lin, they fought the black-clad man.
But even the combined strength of the three was no match for him. The cloaked man’s power was astonishing, exuding the aura of someone at the ninth layer of the Earth Element realm.
Using the power of the ninth layer of the Earth Element realm, the black-clad man effortlessly held his ground against the three. He even seemed to be suppressing them.
The three of them were taken aback, especially Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun. Their strengths were not to be underestimated, and coupled with the powered-up Fang Lin, they could basically sweep any opponent in the Earth Element realm.
However, this black-clad man was able to suppress the three of them, proving that he was no ordinary ninth layer martial artist.
Fang Lin was anxious. While the three of them were tangled up with the man in black, Gu Hanshan had again increased the distance between them.
“Hmm? An assassin from the Hidden Kill Hall?” At that moment, Feng Qianqiu flew overhead. Glancing down, his expression betrayed a hint of surprise.
