Chapter 46 Blood Power Pill

Almost at the same time, Bu Gong immediately raised his alertness to the highest level; since Hou Ming could vaguely exude murderous intent, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face, he must have a more powerful trump card, and Bu Gong did not want to capsize in the ditch.
At this time, Hou Ming looked at Bu Gong with a vicious look, then gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision; then a round, pea-sized purple-red pill appeared between the two fingers of his right hand.
The crowd watching around also noticed the pill between Hou Ming’s fingers at this moment. Then, a few sharp-eyed people in the crowd exclaimed, “Ah, a blood power pill?”
Following this low cry, the crowd immediately became excited; “‘Blood Power Pill’? Hou Ming is too shameless to take this kind of pill? Now, the red-clothed disciple is in danger.” The crowd also quietly exploded.
Almost half of the people looked at Hou Ming with contempt in their eyes; it was obvious that this was just a fair fight between two body-shaping cultivators, but it was ruined by Hou Ming taking elixirs to forcibly improve his strength.
At this moment, Hou Ming seemed to feel the various gazes cast at him by the people around him, which made his already pale face even uglier; then he swallowed the pill in his hand without any hesitation.
‘Blood Power Pill’ is a pill used to temporarily improve one’s cultivation. If taken by a cultivator in the Body Shaping Stage, it can elevate one’s cultivation to the Yuan Peeping Stage; if taken by a cultivator in the Yuan Peeping Stage, it will elevate one small realm on the original basis.
For example, if the user’s cultivation level is at the initial stage of the first level of the Kūyū Realm, then if he takes this kind of elixir, he will directly skip the initial stage of the first level of the Kūyū Realm and reach the intermediate stage of the first level.
This shows how powerful this elixir is. When some people around were whispering about Hou Ming, Bu Gong, with his sharp ears, also caught some clues. Then, his gaze towards Hou Ming became solemn.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. There actually was such a pill that could temporarily elevate one’s cultivation level. If that was the case, then this fight with Hou Ming would be a different story. He might even suffer a great loss.
Firstly, Bu Gong had little combat experience. He only knew one martial art since he started practicing, the ‘Thunder Destruction Fist’. Moreover, he had not yet mastered this martial art, and he himself had not undergone any training.
Therefore, in terms of fighting experience, Bu Gong is not as good as Hou Ming; after all, Hou Ming grew up in Xianyang Sect since he was a child, and he is definitely indispensable in activities such as the training of disciples in the Body Shaping Stage.
So he has an advantage over Bu Gong in this respect; at this time, after Hou Ming took the pill, his face turned slightly red, and one could even vaguely see the blue veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.
After a few breaths, everyone was shocked to see that Hou Ming had changed a lot; his originally smooth skin had become bulging, and his whole body seemed to be slightly taller.
Even during this period, one could roughly hear the “crackling” sound inside Hou Ming’s body; it was obviously the reaction caused by taking the pill.
At this time, Bu Gong looked at Hou Ming in front of him with a look of surprise and doubt, because Hou Ming now gave him an obvious sense of crisis; it was a feeling of being on edge.
Although he didn’t know where this feeling came from, there was a faint uneasiness lingering in his heart; obviously, Hou Ming in this state could already threaten him.
Under such circumstances, Bu Gong forced himself to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind and did not panic too much; instead, he took a deep breath and was in a state of extremely high alert. In this situation, Bu Gong’s mind was also extremely focused.
At this time, Hou Ming was obviously a head taller than before; he clenched his fists, then turned to look at Bu Gong who was standing quietly in front of him, and grinned, but the smile was a bit sinister and cruel.
“Hehe… little bastard, I wonder who can save you today.” A sinister voice came out from Hou Ming’s mouth; the look he gave Bu Gong was also a little teasing, just like a cat looking at a mouse.
Bu Gong obviously did not dare to be careless with Hou Ming in this state, and tried his best to mobilize the not-so-large amount of immortal energy in his body, and shuttled through those acupuncture points at a rapid speed.
Hou Ming didn’t say much at this time. His right hand suddenly became as crystal clear as jade, but it exuded a bone-chilling coldness.
“Extreme Ice Blade – Ban!” A loud shout came from Hou Ming’s mouth; then, a series of thumb-thick air lines, which were condensed purely from cold air, emanated from Hou Ming’s five fingers and enveloped Bu Gong.
As Hou Ming made his move, some people around him also exclaimed in surprise; because Hou Ming’s move was so powerful and chilling, the crowd around him retreated dozens of steps again, because the chill made their skin sting.
Bu Gong also felt the pressure brought to him by Hou Ming’s move at this time, because he clearly felt a sense of oppression from these five energy lines.
It was a kind of pressure that exceeded his body’s capacity, but Bu Gong had no intention of giving up. His face was slightly condensed, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he tried his best to mobilize all the immortal energy in his body.
As he tried his best to mobilize the immortal energy in his body, Bu Gong did not realize that a stream of light purple air, thicker than before, flowed out from the evil spirit in his mind that was sealed by the black line. It then merged into Bu Gong’s meridians and circulated along a specific route.
Bu Gong tried his best to control the immortal energy condensed in his body and circulate it according to the Qi circulation route of the Thunder Destroying Fist; and on the surface of his fist, blue arcs of electricity flashed.
If Bu Gong had observed carefully, he would have discovered that the blue arc of electricity on the surface of his fist actually contained a slight hint of purple; although the purple was not too much, one could feel from this arc of electricity that the domineering and sharp feeling was much more intense than before.
As the mysterious airflow emitted by the evil spirit in his mind became more and more, Bu Gong felt a slight tingling sensation in his meridians and his face turned slightly red.
It was obvious that Bu Gong’s meridians had reached the limit of the immortal energy they could withstand. Seeing that Hou Ming’s five extremely icy energy lines were about to fall on his body, Bu Gong suddenly threw a punch at this moment, “Thunder Destruction Fist – Thunder Kill” he shouted in his heart.
Then the flashing lightning on the surface of his fist suddenly expanded; an extremely bright and dazzling electric light about a meter long actually broke away from Bu Gong’s fist and went straight to Hou Ming.
In fact, this was also the second style of the Thunder Destruction Fist, ‘Thunder Kill’, that Bu Gong performed with great difficulty; originally, this second style required one to be in the Peeping Yuan Realm to perform, but at this moment Bu Gong could not think so much, he directly circulated the immortal energy in his body according to the luck route of the second style of the fist.
The two men’s moves collided violently under the horrified gaze of everyone.
‘Crackling, crackling…’ Lightning and ice lines were constantly intertwined with each other; at the same time, some of Hou Ming’s ice lines also passed through the lightning of Bugong and rushed towards Bugong.
But Bu Gong’s lightning also flashed towards Hou Ming; ‘Puff…’ Bu Gong was hit by the rapidly rushing ice line, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his body was thrown back several meters and fell to the ground.
On the other hand, Hou Ming was not much better; and judging from his posture, his condition was even worse than Bu Gong’s.
In fact, the reason why Hou Ming was like this was because of the backlash of the pill in his body; you should know that although the “Blood Power Pill” can temporarily improve a person’s cultivation, it requires you to defeat or kill the opponent in one go.
Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers, because the elixir is used to save your life, so the effect is one-time; but if the elixir backfires on you, the consequences will be a bit troublesome.
The ‘Blood Power Pill’ obviously requires a temporary burning of blood essence in exchange for instantaneous explosive power; and Hou Ming is only in the body shaping stage now, and this pill provides him with so much strength, it is obvious that the blood essence consumed is not a little bit.
Once in Xuanhuo City, Bu Gong met Yu Chong, the deacon of Xianyang Sect. He only used a drop of blood to send a message, but his face turned pale. What’s more, he was already at the peak of the third level of body shaping, which was slightly higher than Bu Gong.
This time, Hou Ming was attacked by the “Blood Power Pill”, and the burning blood was obviously not just a little bit; Hou Ming’s face was extremely pale at this time, and he even lost weight, with sunken eye sockets.
The meridians in his body were constantly being destroyed by a fierce and overbearing electric arc; and Hou Ming was trying his best to circulate the little remaining immortal energy in his body to resist.
Blood was seen oozing from the corners of his mouth; however, Hou Ming still looked in the direction of Bu Gong with excitement; after he calmed down a little, Bu Gong also appeared in Hou Ming’s sight.
But at this moment, Bu Gong was not frozen into an ice sculpture and fell to the ground bleeding profusely as Hou Ming had imagined; instead, Bu Gong was still standing, but his face was pale, his clothes were a little tattered, and his hair was a little messy.
However, Bu Gong was not feeling well at this time, because he felt a tingling sensation in his meridians, which made him grit his teeth; and after the collision with Hou Ming just now, some of Hou Ming’s icy energy had penetrated into Bu Gong’s body, causing his blood to coagulate.
Bu Gong was like this, and it was all thanks to the mysterious airflow emitted by the evil spirit in his mind; otherwise, even if he didn’t die, he would have been skinned alive in this collision with Hou Ming.
“How is it possible? You…Puff! Little bastard, how could I not kill you?” After seeing Bu Gong, Hou Ming roared at Bu Gong like a madman; there was clear disbelief in his eyes.
Hou Ming really couldn’t imagine why, after improving his strength to the Yuan realm, he still couldn’t destroy Bu Gong, or even kill Bu Gong; looking at Bu Gong’s current state, Hou Ming was obviously also a little horrified.
At this moment, the crowd watching in the medicine hall also cried out in surprise after seeing the situation of the two people; the eyes looking at Bu Gong were obviously less casual, more cautious and faintly fearful.
They also didn’t expect that Bu Gong could fight against Hou Ming without showing any signs of serious injury even though Hou Ming had reached the Peeping Yuan Realm. At the same time, the laziness in the eyes of the blue-shirted man who came with Hou Ming also subsided a little.
He knew very well that even if his strength was slightly higher than Hou Ming’s, it was not too much. In short, he was still in the body-shaping stage; and since Bu Gong in the field could defeat Hou Ming who was in the Yuan-peeking realm, then he could also defeat himself.
No matter how conceited Xue Li was, he was not so arrogant as to confront a cultivator in the Peeping Yuan Realm head-on; but Bu Gong did just that. Even if Hou Ming’s Peeping Yuan Realm that he reached in that way might be a little exaggerated, it was still far beyond the realm of the Shaping Body Stage.
The petite woman who had brought Bu Gong here earlier exclaimed in surprise when she saw Bu Gong’s condition, and then ran to Bu Gong and supported him regardless of everyone’s gaze.
She looked at Bu Gong’s miserable appearance with her beautiful eyes, with shock in them; and there were some twinkling stars in her gaze as she looked at Bu Gong.
At this moment, Bu Gong seemed to have noticed this, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
Just as everyone was discussing this, a slightly older man’s angry voice suddenly exploded in the hall: “Asshole, don’t you know that fighting is not allowed in the pharmacy? What’s going on?”
When the people present heard this voice, they all shrank their necks quietly; then they looked at Bu Gong and Hou Ming in the center with some pity in their eyes.
No matter how you look at it, that look is like a gloating look. After hearing this voice, Bu Gong was also a little helpless. He muttered in his heart: “It seems that troubles are really endless. Is my luck really so bad today?”
