Chapter 596: Chapter 589 Essence Qi

“Pfft…” A spurt of fresh blood violently sprayed out as Ren Tianxing was sent flying.

Collapsing to the ground, he twitched only a few times before he became motionless; thereafter, his Immortal Body began to rapidly dissipate.

In terms of strength, the strongest in Medicine King Valley was undoubtedly Supreme Danding.

As the Valley Master, Ren Tianxing’s strength was actually quite inferior compared to Supreme Danding.

Back then, when Chen Hai was at the early stage of True Saint, it did not take him much time to slay Supreme Danding.

Leveraging the Pure Essence Qi that scattered into the world upon Supreme Danding’s death, Chen Hai gained a modest increase in strength and broke through to the mid-stage of True Saint.

With his current strength, dealing with Ren Tianxing, who was much weaker than Supreme Danding, naturally wouldn’t take much effort.

“As the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, this guy’s strength seems to be just so.”

“The folks from Medicine King Valley who have died by my hand seem to be just like that Supreme Danding, slightly more capable.”

“Could that guy have been the strongest in Medicine King Valley?”

“If that’s the case, it seems like I’ve been underestimating my own power all this time!”

With this palm strike, Ren Tianxing was gone just like that, and Chen Hai himself felt somewhat surprised.

He had originally thought that as the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, his strength ought to be the strongest in the valley.

In respect for him, Chen Hai had gone all out with this palm strike, fully unleashing his power.

In his mind, if this palm strike had inflicted injury on Ren Tianxing, it would have been quite satisfactory.

After all, at their level of power, their defenses were supposed to be immensely strong, just like his own, which had previously withstood the combined attack of Ren Tianxing and the other three.

Whether it was Kang Bao’s large saber or Tu Ji’s iron claws, striking him would at most cause excruciating pain, but they couldn’t breach his defenses or truly harm him.

Putting himself in their shoes, Chen Hai felt that Ren Tianxing, as the Valley Master, should have defenses that, while perhaps not comparable to his own, should be able to withstand his attacks ten or eight times without issue.

Had he known that Ren Tianxing’s strength was so weak that he couldn’t withstand even a single palm strike from him, he definitely would have held back some strength, injured him seriously, and not taken his life outright.

After all, the main purpose of his departure from the Bloodthirsty Sect was to obtain some pills to assist in his cultivation.

Knowing that Ren Tianxing was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Chen Hai naturally placed his hopes for achieving this minor goal on Ren Tianxing’s shoulders.

For this reason, when he first confronted Ren Tianxing, he had tried to reason with him and persuade him with logic.

Facing the ferocious attack of Ren Tianxing’s hammer, which seemed like a landslide, Chen Hai had merely dodged and did not counterattack immediately.

Had it not been for that guy’s unceasing references to a demon and an utter disregard for reason, why would Chen Hai have struck, landing a palm on his chest?

Before engaging, Chen Hai had given him a chance.

As long as he was willing to part with a hundred and eighty bottles of pills suitable for himself, Chen Hai would have spared him.

With Heavenly Maiden, Chen Hai had been ready to put in a good word for him, to be lenient.

Given the special relationship between Chen Hai and Heavenly Maiden that was more than friendship yet not quite love, if he had asked, Heavenly Maiden would probably have given him face and spared Ren Tianxing’s life.

Unfortunately, Chen Hai’s kindness and good intentions, in his eyes, were taken for granted.

So miserly, unwilling to part even with some pills, Ren Tianxing’s death could only be attributed to his own making.

As for what Ren Tianxing himself thought, that was unknown, but that’s what Chen Hai believed!

“People cannot be too stubborn, too miserly.”

“Just a few pills, mere external possessions, with Medicine King Valley’s capabilities, they could be refined again.”

“How could this Valley Master Ren be so unenlightened?”

Feeling the Pure Essence Qi permeating the void, and seeing Ren Tianxing’s body almost half dissipated, Chen Hai expressed his regret thoughtfully.

Of course, while speaking, he certainly did not forget to rummage through the corpse.

The giant hammer that served as Ren Tianxing’s weapon was promptly picked up by Chen Hai and placed into his Storage Bag.

This hammer is called the Earth Shattering Hammer, its quality is quite good, it is a High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Objects that can’t be smashed by my own fists must all be treasures; even though Chen Hai isn’t all that interested in wielding a hammer to smash others, what if one day he opens up his own cave mansion? Wouldn’t this Earth Shattering Hammer be perfect for breaking stones?

It must be said, as the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Ren Tianxing did have some possessions.

Besides seizing the Earth Shattering Hammer, from his body that had yet to dissipate, Chen Hai also found a Storage Bag.

It usually takes a lot of time to erase the markings of a Storage Bag with an owner and open it.

Now that Ren Tianxing was dead, his Storage Bag naturally became unclaimed property.

In less than a breath’s time, Chen Hai had opened the Storage Bag.

Inside, the space was large enough to fit a living room, filled with various items, numerous in quantity.

Sadly, items like pills were no more than thirty or fifty bottles at most.

“I still need to find an opportunity to sneak into Medicine King Valley.”

“Medicine King Valley’s Valley Master Ren has died by my hand, and Supreme Danding, suspected to be the strongest in Medicine King Valley, has long been slain by me.”

“With so many True Immortals and True Demons dead, even if Medicine King Valley has a deep foundation, there definitely won’t be many True Immortals remaining to guard their mountain gates.”

“Characters like Ren Tianxing, even if ten or eight of them were to gang up on me, they should still be no match for me!”

…

Having sorted all the spoils of war, Chen Hai muttered to himself.

When Liuyuan County had just merged with this world, the scene where the sun in the sky turned into a giant bird and flew away had somewhat frightened him!

He had always thought in this world, powerful beings were as common as dogs, strong people everywhere, and his own strength was merely that of a tiny shrimp.

That’s exactly why he had been low-key and enduring, always just scraping by.

But now it seemed that the entire strength of West Barbarian Mountain Territory was just like this.

After all, he knew that Medicine King Valley was the overlord of West Barbarian Mountain, dominating this territory for hundreds to thousands of years.

It was only after really facing off with Medicine King Valley that he realized none of those True Immortal-level powerhouses seemed capable of putting up a fight.

Whether it was Medicine King Valley or Heavenly Extreme Holy Sect, among all the opponents Chen Hai had encountered, only a Heavenly Maiden, with her terrifying speed, could fight him to an even stand.

But in terms of the robustness of the body, even the Heavenly Maiden, when compared to him, was lacking by more than just a single level.

Chen Hai had a profound understanding of this fact.

After all, on another battlefield, each time, wasn’t it the Heavenly Maiden who first surrendered, crying out “Brother Hai, no more, no more”…

Thinking of the Heavenly Maiden, Chen Hai couldn’t help but turn his gaze in the direction where Tu Ji had fled.

Not far away, wearing that set of white vestment robe, was the Heavenly Maiden; she had lost some of her charm and gained a few more ounces of valiant elegance. Holding Tu Ji’s iron claws like dancing butterflies, she was flying towards him.

As for Tu Ji, his shadow was nowhere to be seen, but seeing the iron claws in the Heavenly Maiden’s hand, one could imagine what kind of end Tu Ji had met!

“Is Ren Tianxing taken care of? Have you dealt with him?”

“I thought that I was quite fast in dealing with Tu Ji, but now it seems I’m still not as quick as you!”

“After killing Tu Ji, I rushed back immediately, and here, Ren Tianxing’s Immortal Body has already completely dissipated, leaving no trace!”

As she arrived near Chen Hai, the Heavenly Maiden stopped.

She slightly closed her eyes, sensing for a moment, and after feeling the rich Essence Qi in the surrounding void, she could confirm that Ren Tianxing had indeed died here.

“Ying, to let such rich and pure Essence Qi dissipate like this is too wasteful!”

“Aren’t you going to seize this opportunity to cultivate?” Greeting the Heavenly Maiden, Chen Hai had already sat down cross-legged.

“You can also refine and absorb this kind of Essence Qi?”

The Heavenly Maiden was surprised, then with a puzzled face, she checked to confirm.
