Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Pei Yuan Pill Success_1

The Pei Yuan Pill is almost ready.

“Master, I, Mo Luo Dan, have offended you gravely and deserve death. But I have an unfulfilled wish. Please allow me to complete it. Afterwards, I will take my own life before you. Of course, it will be to your benefit as well. My enemy hides countless treasures which I will bring to you in their entirety. I just want his life,” Mo Luo Dan said with determination flickering in his eyes, earnestly speaking to Xu Fan.

“Oh?” Xu Fan replied with a sound as a rich purple aura emanated from the Small Medicine Cauldron. As the purple aura slowly faded, a medicinal pill with a shimmering purple luster appeared inside the cauldron.

“Finally, it’s done,” Xu Fan said, tossing aside the Small Medicine Cauldron and catching the Pei Yuan Pill, his mood instantly lifted.

Although there were some tumults along the way, the elixir had lived up to expectations and was successfully refined. With this pill, Xu Fan’s realm could take another step up.

“Right, what were you saying just now?” Xu Fan asked with a smiling gaze toward Mo Luo Dan who was bound in chains before him. The success of the elixir brightened Xu Fan’s spirits considerably, and the murderous intent towards Mo Luo Dan in his eyes had lessened from before.

If Mo Luo Dan’s interference had caused Xu Fan’s pill refinement to fail, Xu Fan would have definitely beheaded him on the spot.

“Master, I carry a deep-seated vengeance and have come here to rapidly increase my power so as to seek revenge against my enemy. Why else would I be enraged by the interruption of my advancement due to you? I don’t ask you to spare my life, only to delay taking it for a few days. After my vengeance is complete, I am willing to personally cut off my head and present it to you!” Mo Luo Dan pleaded sincerely to Xu Fan, and when speaking of his enemy, intense flames of revenge blazed in his eyes.

Xu Fan could see that the hatred in his eyes was definitely not feigned, for Xu Fan himself, when he was hanging from a tree barely clinging to life in his past life, had nothing but thoughts of revenge.

It seems that Mo Luo Dan’s experience was somewhat similar to his own; born out of a deep-seated vengeance, they both chose the path of cultivation for the sake of revenge.

“Haven’t you checked your own body? With your current state, all of your major acupoints have been damaged by the chains of the Water-Drawing Array of Imperial Dragon. You talk about seeking revenge against your enemy, but even if I released you, you would be nothing but a cripple,” Xu Fan said, looking into Mo Luo Dan’s eyes with a deliberate tone.

“What!” Mo Luo Dan, upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, began to probe his body incredulously and immediately burst into tears when he discovered the truth.

Despite the severe injuries and the copious amounts of blood he had spewed, Mo Luo Dan had not shed tears until now, when he realized that all hope of revenge was gone, his eyes streamed with tears.

“Master, I can no longer seek revenge for you, your disciple is useless,” Mo Luo Dan muttered, his face filled with despair.

“Master, since I can no longer seek vengeance, my existence has no value left in this world. Please grant me a swift end,” Mo Luo Dan said painfully, closing his eyes and slowly speaking to Xu Fan.

“Fine!” Xu Fan agreed with a single word.

With a gentle beckoning motion to the Titanium Alloy Combat Knife with his left hand, he then made a swift chopping motion.

Even with his eyes closed, Mo Luo Dan could hear the whoosh of the combat knife slicing through the air.

On his face, there was no longing for life, only a profound sense of despair at being unable to seek revenge.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…”

A clanging sound of metal on metal came from Mo Luo Dan’s body.

Xu Fan’s titanium alloy combat knife struck the chains that bound Mo Luo Dan with unerring precision.

Although the titanium alloy combat knife was invincible, it seemed powerless against the chains that appeared ancient and simple.

With one slash, it only sparked a shower of sparks, and even several rice-sized notches were chipped onto the blade, but the chains remained undamaged.

“It really is the Yulong chain, capable of binding dragons, let alone a mere combat knife,” Xu Fan remarked sincerely as he looked at the chain.

“What?” When Mo Luo Dan heard the clanging sound on his body, he was almost deafened, but what surprised him more was that Xu Fan’s knife had not struck him, but the chains that bound him instead.

“Forget it, I won’t scare you anymore.” Xu Fan tossed away the damaged combat knife and walked towards Mo Luo Dan.

“Master, why don’t you kill me? I am already a cripple, there is no more use for me in this world, please stop humiliating me,” Mo Luo Dan said to Xu Fan with an almost pleading look as he approached, his eyes devoid of life and his body exuding a sense of despair.

“You? Don’t want revenge anymore?” Xu Fan whispered into Mo Luo Dan’s ear.

“What?” Mo Luo Dan’s eyes suddenly lit up at the mention of revenge, and a renewed hope surged in his heart.

“Could it be that the master is going to avenge me? I am willing to give everything, just for the master to take action,” Mo Luo Dan said as he struggled to get up, ignoring the severe injuries on his body, and knelt down to Xu Fan, “I beg you, Master, to avenge this blood feud for me, Mo Luo Dan. Even if I must suffer a thousand cuts, I will have no regrets or complaints.”

“When did I say I would take revenge for you?” Xu Fan replied indifferently.

“Don’t you want the treasures from my enemy?” Mo Luo Dan’s hope was suddenly dashed upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, and he spoke a little unwillingly.

“How can one let others take care of their hatred? One should take revenge personally, even if on their knees,” Xu Fan said as he extended his hand, summoning his power, and flung Mo Luo Dan’s chains back into the ancient well.

Mo Luo Dan suddenly felt lighter; the chains that had bound him had been removed by Xu Fan, leaving him confused and uncertain of Xu Fan’s intentions.

“Master, I am already a cripple and can no longer cultivate. If I cannot take revenge, then living is worse than dying,” Mo Luo Dan said weakly from the ground to Xu Fan.

“You have only suffered injuries in a few major acupoints and cannot gather your power, but who said you can no longer cultivate? If you find a skilled physician to heal the acupoints, you can regain your strength and still seek revenge against your enemy,” Xu Fan said to Mo Luo Dan.

“A skilled physician?” Mo Luo Dan felt bitter inside. I am now a stray dog, and my powers are crippled. With injuries all over my body, where in this desolate wilderness could I find a skilled physician?

However, when his eyes caught sight of the purple-glowing medicinal pill in Xu Fan’s hand, they suddenly brightened.

A skilled physician, the man before him who could refine elixirs with his bare hands in the wilderness, who in the world could be more skilled than him!
