Fashionably Late

At the same time, in a huge square, it was overcrowded.

Many people from the Land of Slaughter were in attendance. After all, this was the most exciting thing going on at this moment.

Of course, they already knew what the outcome would be. Alchemy Master Hong would crush those two pieces of trash!

However, being able to witness Alchemy Master Hong refining medicinal pills with their own eyes was also extremely beneficial to everyone’s cultivation.

The crowd discussed animatedly, and almost everyone praised Alchemy Master Hong and belittled Duan Huai An and the mysterious masked youth.

Of course, there were still a small number of people praying for these two.

Not long after, countless people with terrifying auras walked out of the red mansion, heavily armed.

They stood guard in all directions, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

The appearance of these experts instantly silenced the noisy square.

After the silence, an old man appeared in the middle of the square; the same one from the stone tablet back then.

The old man looked down at the crowd and infused his true qi into his voice to spread it out.

“Everyone knows better than me what will happen today. The rules are the same. Today, we’re competing in the Dao of Alchemy! The winner of the Alchemy competition has to fulfill the other party’s request, even if it costs them their life!”

“Only two people challenged Alchemy Master Hong!”

“Of course, I also believe that these two people’s Alchemy Dao won’t disappoint everyone!”

“Let’s not waste time. I invite Alchemy Master Hong to grace us with his presence!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd cheered, which was indicative of Alchemy Master Hong’s status.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, Alchemy Master Hong was the symbol of alchemy in the Land of Slaughter.

How could he fail?

However, amidst the cheers of the crowd, no one walked out!

While everyone was feeling confused, a figure in a brocade robe descended from the sky!

“Alchemy Master Hong!”

“Alchemy Master Hong is here! He’s like an immortal!”

“He’s really the number one alchemist!”

The sound of praises rang out. Hong Tao enjoyed this moment very much. He gathered his true qi, causing his robe to flutter in the wind, and his aura now seemed extremely ethereal.

He landed steadily in the middle of the square and looked down at everyone. He said indifferently, “Thank you for your support. Today, I, Hong Tao, will let you see what the supreme Alchemy Dao looks like.”

The crowd cheered even louder.

The old man did not want to delay any longer and continued, “Everyone, please be quiet. Let’s welcome the Sect Master of the Medical God sect, Duan Huai An!”

The cheers completely disappeared. Instead, disdainful voices rang out.

“The Medical God sect has long declined. I heard that Duan Huai An was beaten and crippled by the sect master of the Dao Sect and could only immerse himself in the Medical Dao.”

“If he had not suffered that setback, Duan Huai An’s achievements would probably be limitless!”

“Limitless? Maybe, but it doesn’t change what happened. Without a dantian, I wanna see how Duan Huai An refines pills.”

“To be honest, I’m a little curious about how Duan Huai An withstands the flames around the cauldron. Haha!”

Amidst the voices of doubt, an old man stepped onto the stage.

The old man’s aura was a little weak. Despite the doubtful gazes cast his way, his eyes remained indifferent.

Over the years, he had endured too many things. So what if he was scolded a few times by some random people?

His turbid eyes glanced at Hong Tao and said, “I hope you can keep your promise.”

Hong Tao snorted coldly.

“Of course, but I advise you to think hard about how to survive in my cauldron.”

Duan Huai An let out a long sigh and did not continue speaking.

He was a little lonely and down. Over the past two days, he had failed to refine ancient pills, so it was probably impossible to win this time.

However, he represented the Medical God sect and would not run from a fight. Even if he died, he would die with honor.

Hopefully, a miracle would happen.

Seeing that the two of them were in position, the old man did not waste any time and continued, “Masked young man, you come up too!”

Thanks to the incident with the stone tablet, his attitude toward Ye Chen had clearly changed.

However, no one came up after he finished speaking.

This lasted a full ten seconds, and the crowd was soon in an uproar, thinking that the masked young man had fled.

Of course, this was only natural when faced with an expert on the level of Alchemy Master Hong.

The old man sneered and continued, “Masked young man, come up too! If you don’t come up, I’ll issue a hunting order, and the consequences will be even more serious.”

However, no one appeared.

Hong Tao frowned, clearly somewhat displeased.

Duan Huai An, who was at the side, pondered for a few seconds before saying to Hong Tao, “Hong Tao, this is a grudge between you and me. Don’t involve others. Let’s just start.”

He had also heard that a mysterious masked young man had rashly joined the challenge.

He felt a little regretful.

If even he was not qualified to defeat Hong Tao, how could a young man do so?

The other party was still young and had a bright future ahead of him. Duan Huai An did not want the other party to die prematurely because of this. No matter what the other party’s goal was, he would help if he could.

He would just focus all of Hong Tao’s anger on himself.

Hong Tao glanced at Duan Huai An and snorted coldly, “Duan Huai An, do you think you have the right to speak here? You can’t even save yourself!”

Then, Hong Tao looked at the old man and said, “If that kid still doesn’t come, send someone to cut off his limbs and bring him to me!”

“Yes, Sir!”

The old man nodded and said, “I’ll say it a third time. Masked young man, come up quickly, or you’ll have to bear the consequences!”

There was still no movement.

The old man was angry and ordered, “Men, surround the entrances of the Land of Slaughter. Find that kid and kill him.”

However, before he could finish speaking, a young man in casual clothes walked up leisurely.

“I’m sorry, the alarm didn’t ring today. I overslept.”

The young man who spoke wore a mask, and was obviously Ye Chen.

When everyone heard Ye Chen’s words, the corners of their mouths twitched. This fellow actually dared to oversleep on such an important day!

Was he crazy?

Even Hong Tao’s expression flickered, as Ye Chen’s words were filled with contempt.

When the old man saw Ye Chen, his fury was ignited.

“Kid, it’s a good thing you dared to show up. Otherwise, you would have had to endure the harshest torture!”

Ye Chen looked indifferent and said lightly, “Why are you spouting so much nonsense? If you want to start, just start. I have something to do later!”

Hearing this, Hong Tao could not help but say angrily, “Brat, even if you are arrogant, you must have the qualifications to be arrogant! Since you are in a hurry to reincarnate, I will fulfill your wish!”

Ye Chen looked at Hong Tao with interest and said, “Who do you think you are? Could it be that you’re that Huang Tao, no, I think it’s Lan Tao, Zi Tao… Why is your face so dark? Could it be Black Tao?”

When the people below heard Ye Chen’s words, they gasped. This fellow was not holding back at all!

Hong Tao’s entire face turned black, and everyone knew that this kid would die a miserable death if he failed the alchemy challenge later.

To dare provoke Alchemy Master Hong, he was courting death!
