Chapter 2467 Another showdown?
The gray-robed man was taken aback at first, then angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? You, a Saint Realm cultivator, can't even hold back a piss?"
Huang Yu's face flushed red, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I didn't mean... that..."
As he spoke, beads of sweat kept seeping from his forehead, and his lips began to turn purple, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.
However, the man in gray clearly didn't realize anything, and instead frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Have you been poisoned?"
Huang Yu gritted his teeth and shook his head slightly, but could not answer.
Upon seeing this, the man in gray frowned and said, "What do you mean by shaking your head? Say something!"
Huang Yu raised his head and opened his mouth with difficulty.
But at this moment...
hum!
A beam of celestial light shot into the sky from his body.
As soon as the celestial light appeared, the pained expression on Huang Yu's face vanished instantly.
Instead, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
After a moment of silence, someone finally exclaimed, "This is... the Breakthrough Realm? He broke through? He really broke through!"
"What? This Breakthrough Pill actually works?"
"The legend is true! There really is such a thing as the Breakthrough Pill in Tianyuan City!"
Everyone screamed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, the gray-clad man turned ashen-faced.
He glared fiercely at Huang Yu, wishing he could chop him up with a single blow.
At this moment, Huang Yu also came to his senses and looked at the gray-robed man with a nervous expression, saying, "Uncle-Master, I'm sorry, I..."
But just then, the man in gray narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait a minute! That doesn't count!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
The gray-robed man coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, Huang Yu... he could have broken through to the Dao Breaking Realm long ago. It was just a coincidence just now, not because the pill was so miraculous!"
However, after he finished speaking, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Hey, do you think we're all idiots? This kid was only at the Imperial Dao Realm before, and not even at his peak! When will he break through to the Breaking Dao Realm?"
"Exactly! His breakthrough to the Saintly Realm was already far-fetched enough! And you're saying you're trying to fool us with this kind of talk?"
Hearing the crowd's mockery, the gray-clad man turned pale and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At that moment, the owner of the apothecary looked at the man in gray, stretched out his hand and said, "According to the bet, shouldn't you give me the immortal stones?"
“I…” The gray-clad man’s lips twitched.
He originally intended to swindle the other party out of a sum of immortal stones.
But unexpectedly, it backfired and got me into trouble.
That's half of my fortune.
If it's just lost like that, wouldn't all my hard work for half my life have been for nothing?
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he dared not actually go back on his word.
After all, this place is Tianyuan City.
Who knows if I'll be punished if I refuse?
Even if he escapes punishment, once he leaves Tianyuan City, he will only become a laughing stock in the Five Heavenly Realms.
In his anxiety, he suddenly remembered something.
In an instant, his expression became indifferent.
He raised his head, looked at the pharmacy owner, and said, "I challenge you to a life-or-death duel. Do you dare?"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
After a long while, someone finally reacted and said to the man in gray, "Holy crap? You actually came up with such a despicable idea?"
"Exactly! He's just a pharmacy owner, not a soldier. You're not kidding me, are you?"
Amidst the cacophony of voices, the gray-clad man's face darkened as he retorted, "Shut up! Do you need to tell me this? I didn't challenge you!"
An old man sneered, "Kid, who can't see through your little scheme? The boss isn't stupid either; why would he accept your challenge, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at the pharmacy owner.
Unexpectedly, the pharmacy owner slapped his thigh and said, "Alright, I accept!"
"what?"
One sentence once again shocked everyone.
what happened?
Do you agree?
Could it be that the owner of this pharmacy is also a hermit master?
But looking at him, he doesn't seem like it at all!
Meanwhile, seeing that he had agreed, the man in gray immediately announced loudly, "He agreed! Everyone heard that. If he goes back on his word, he will be violating the rules of Tianyuan City!"
The pharmacy owner shook his head and said, "Of course I won't go back on my word, you just wait!"
As he spoke, he slammed the door of the pharmacy shut, then leaped onto the life-or-death arena, muttering to himself, "There are some parts of the swordsmanship I just saw that I don't understand. I was just looking for someone to have a life-or-death duel with, and this opportunity has come to me."
Upon seeing the pharmacy owner's unexpected sternness, the man in gray was taken aback.
Suddenly, he remembered the battle on the life-or-death stage and abruptly looked up, saying, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Even Nangong Jin couldn't stand it anymore after hearing those words.
"I'm telling you, you're not going to regret this, are you?" she asked, frowning.
The man in gray blushed and said seriously, "How could I regret it? I just wanted to say that the rules of this life-or-death duel were not clearly explained!"
"What rules? Tell me!" the pharmacy owner asked.
The gray-robed man squinted and said, "The rule is that we cannot use Dao artifacts when we fight; at most, we can only use Creation Immortal artifacts!"
He still remembered how terrifying the Dao artifact in Luo Yu's hands from Tianyuan City was during that battle.
Therefore, it must be prohibited.
Upon hearing this, the pharmacy owner thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Okay!"
In any case, using a weapon of equal quality would better hone his swordsmanship.
Seeing that the other party agreed, the man in gray was still a little worried and said, "Secondly, you cannot take any pills during the fight!"
The other party is a pharmacy owner who possesses a pill of the Breakthrough Pill level. If he has any other powerful pills, then things will be bad.
Therefore, it must be prohibited.
Upon hearing this, the pharmacy owner replied without hesitation, "No problem!"
Anyway, his goal was to hone his swordsmanship.
It's better not to take any pills.
Seeing that the other party had agreed to everything, the man in gray finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, I'll fight you!"
boom!
As he spoke, he rushed onto the life-or-death arena, and with a backhand swipe, a long sword landed in his hand.
"Go to hell!"
With a roar, he brought his knife down with a thunderous crash.
Keng!
On the other side, the pharmacy owner took out a long sword and charged back at the gray-clad man.
In an instant, the two powerful figures began to fight on the life-or-death stage.
At first, no one paid much attention to this battle.
How could a pharmacy owner possibly be a match for the elites of the Five Heavenly Realms?
However, as the battle continued, more and more people realized that something was wrong.
"What do you all think?" Hua Qianzun stood below the sound platform and looked at the people beside him.
Beside him, the Holy Son of the Holy Sword Heavenly Gate was the first to speak: "The cultivation techniques and swordsmanship practiced by that apothecary owner are clearly more refined! However, he doesn't seem to have mastered them and lacks combat experience, which is why the situation is so evenly matched! If it were me, I could decide the winner in five moves... no, three moves!"
