Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2263 - 2219: Not Quite Right

"How much longer until these demons are all killed?"

The prolonged slaughter had drained many people’s bodies.

The ones remaining were almost all quite strong.

But even they were struggling against the endless stream of demons.

The depletion of Spiritual Energy was severe, and the demons were growing increasingly formidable.

If this continues, they’ll all die...

"If I had known the second layer was this dangerous, I wouldn’t have come up here, can I leave now?" someone expressed fear.

Fearing to perish here, they wished to escape.

But there was no response at all.

In the entire stone house, only the sound of demons roaring and Cultivation Techniques running reverberated.

Yet another chunk of time passed.

Now, only eight people remained.

In the most recent battle, a person at Early-stage Condensation Perfect met their end at the hands of demons.

The death was still tragic, leaving no remains.

The survivors were not in good condition either.

Aside from Chen Yang and the person in black who sustained minor injuries, the others endured varying degrees of wounds.

One among them was burned by a demon’s flame, piercing directly through their body.

Now, a blood hole remained in their body, yet they still persist in fighting the demons.

But judging from their appearance, it’s clear they’re at the end of their strength.

They won’t last much longer.

If the demons don’t retreat soon, their death is only a matter of time.

However, they were fortunate.

Just as they were about to collapse, the surrounding flames finally dwindled.

The clawing demons gradually retreated into the fire, slowly vanishing.

"At last... it’s finally over."

Seeing this, someone immediately toppled over like a dead body.

Too exhausted.

Chen Yang was also quite tired, sitting heavily on the ground, breathing heavily while retrieving a bottle of Spirit Qi Liquid from his pocket to drink.

To him, this was perfectly normal.

Spirit Qi Liquid is not scarce to his imagination.

But unexpectedly, every gaze around him was fixated eagerly.

As if the Spirit Qi Liquid Chen Yang drank was an exceptionally rare treasure.

Chen Yang ignored them, gulped it down, and his Spiritual Energy quickly recovered.

The others continued to regard him oddly, but to his surprise, even the person in black was watching him strangely.

This perplexed him.

This mysterious individual surely had a background, could they not afford Spirit Qi Liquid?

Chen Yang, testing the waters with curiosity, took another bottle of Spirit Qi Liquid from his space and offered it to the person in black.

"Want a sip? To boost your strength," Chen Yang suggested with a smile.

But the person in black turned away with a cold gaze, showing disdain for Chen Yang’s offering.

Chen Yang chuckled.

Because he realized they wanted it despite seeming reluctant for some reason.

"Although I don’t know who you are, at least for now we’re cooperating. You should drink it, it benefits everyone—a third layer awaits, and who knows what we’ll face?" Chen Yang urged warmly.

Truth is, Chen Yang’s attitude towards the person in black was quite amicable.

Even though they harbored killing intent.

Yet no hostile actions occurred, and they even teamed up at the palace entrance, slaying the flame lion together.

And precisely because of this, Chen Yang was curious about their identity.

They emitted killing intent yet cooperated with him.

Who were they really?

Chen Yang couldn’t fathom it.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s reasoning, the person in black recognized its logic.

They glared at him, yet accepted the Spirit Qi Liquid from Chen Yang’s hands.

Chen Yang grinned slightly, sitting down cross-legged to recuperate, meanwhile absorbing the medicine’s effects.

"Fellow cultivator, we’re allies too. I will ascend to the third layer as well—do you have more Spirit Qi Liquid, can you spare a bottle?"

At this point, one aside—the golden City Lord—shamelessly sought from Chen Yang.

The recent battle had consumed too much of their Spiritual Energy.

Currently, they felt like a severely dehydrated soul amidst a desert.

Desperately needing sustenance.

Upon hearing this plea, Chen Yang simply sneered.

"Sorry, I had only two bottles, I’m out now. City Lord Jin, you’d better find another solution."

The City Lord hadn’t wronged him, but he knew.

This old fellow and that Wang Yuan were of the same ilk—not decent at all.

Offer him Spirit Qi Liquid? Better not.

Don’t waste it.

City Lord Jin’s face darkened upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, paddling his parched lips, seating himself cross-legged to adjust his body by absorbing Spiritual Energy.

After a short rest, the shadow of Fire Sun True Monarch appeared once more.

"Eight have passed the trial; thus, eight opportunities exist."

Upon appearing, he said little, merely tallying the survivors and tossing eight gourds from his sleeve.

This time differed from before.

The previous gourds carried a hint of green.

But the gourds thrown by Fire Sun True Monarch’s shadow this time only bore golden and silver hues.

No green gourds anymore.

Chen Yang wondered inside but couldn’t afford distraction.

With eight gourds floating nearby, Chen Yang immediately locked on to the nearest golden gourd, leaping up and firmly grasping it.

The person in black was not slower in reacting.

Leaping swiftly, they precisely seized another golden gourd.

These two consistently performed well.

While the remaining golden gourd fell into the group of City Lord Jin and others.

Causing a scramble.

Sect Leader Lin, situated further away and aware of the odds, simply forfeited and randomly chose a gourd.

"How dare you aim for the gourd of the City Lord, are you courting death?"

The scuffle incited City Lord Jin’s fury, enraged at someone competing with him.

Yet, the individual showed no fear.

Their allegiance was with Wang Yuan, possessing Mid-stage Condensation capability.

Perhaps their combat prowess didn’t rival City Lord Jin.

But when opportunities arose, such concerns were secondary—plus, they belonged to opposing factions.

"Back off, I grabbed the gourd first, City Lord Jin. If you want to fight, I’m not one to shy away." The individual retorted stubbornly while activating Spiritual Energy, striking towards City Lord Jin’s chest.

Aiming to blow City Lord Jin away solo to claim the golden gourd.

"Courting death!"

Faced with the scenario, City Lord Jin was livid.

Confronting Wang Yuan himself was tolerable, but now, with Wang Yuan absent, even his subordinates dared defy him? Where was his authority?

He too activated Spiritual Energy, slapping forth a counter.

Boom...

Both were drained of Spiritual Energy, unable to create much commotion.

Yet, the powerful force still drove the competitor back.

The golden gourd slipped from shaky grip and soared.

With rapid reflexes, City Lord Jin seized the golden gourd in mid-air.

Holding the gourd, a grin spread across his face.

And he didn’t forget to mock them further.

"If Wang Yuan were present, I’d grant some regard to those from Chi Yang City. But in his absence, the City Lord doesn’t even consider you worth my breath."

"If you dare to stir trouble again, beware of my ruthless retaliation—the consequences will be unforgiving."

City Lord Jin coldly snorted, seated himself cross-legged again to examine his reward.

While the person who retreated was filled with silent rage.

They were no match for City Lord Jin.
