Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 20 Hard Fight
Jiang Xuan's face was solemn. He understood that with the strength displayed by the fat man at this moment, he should be at least close to the peak of the Heavenly Rank, or even have reached the peak of the Heavenly Rank!
Just in the first round of battle, how could the fat man, who was only at the middle level of Heavenly Rank, suddenly become a Heavenly Rank peak-level warrior after being seriously injured?
"Hey, Brother Jiang, do you have a lot of questions?" The fat man said with interest, "You can't get out of this forest anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Jiang Xuan's eyebrows were almost wrinkled together, and he didn't say anything.

At this moment, he was busy thinking of various ways to deal with the fat man.

"Come to think of it, you're a lucky guy! Things haven't been going well for you since you left Fuzhou, but since you met Brother Jiang, you've actually found two opportunities. One was that piece of luggage, and the other, hehe, that was the real opportunity!"

As the fat man spoke, a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

Then, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on the fat man's face, which was full of joy. "Without the thin man, this opportunity came all of a sudden. It seems that the thin man really has no fate to seek opportunities."

After saying that, the fat man chuckled again, and the laughter became louder and louder, giving off a sense of heroism.

"Is this fat guy crazy? Is he using some crazy martial arts?" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

"What is the second opportunity?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"Have you heard about the pharmacist from other states?" The fat man raised the corner of his mouth.

As soon as the words "pharmacist from other states" came out of the fat man's mouth, Jiang Xuan immediately searched out the relevant parts in his memory.

How could he not know about this out-of-state pharmacist? Not only Jiang Xuan knew about it, but almost every buyer and seller who participated in the Green Lake Auction knew about it.

A pharmacist from another state mysteriously disappeared while passing through Qizhou, even though he was escorted by a large mercenary group.

Jiang Xuan's heart was shocked: Could it be?

If it is true as Jiang Xuan guessed, the fat man really encountered a great opportunity.

A pharmacist who needs a large mercenary group to escort him must have at least a large number of elixirs, or even a large number of very valuable elixirs.

"Is the pharmacist in your hands?" Jiang Xuan asked in surprise.

"That pharmacist is indeed very talented and is about the same age as you. However, he is not willing to make medicine for me. Although it's a pity, there is really no need to keep him." The fat man showed a hint of regret on his face.

"You killed him?" Jiang Xuan was filled with anger.

When the fat man mentioned the pharmacist who was of similar age to him and quite qualified, Jiang Xuan easily thought of his sister Jiang Xian, who also had excellent talent in alchemy.

How could I not feel angry when I thought that such an outstanding peer was easily killed by Fatty because he was unwilling to make medicine for him?

The fat man was dismissive of Jiang Xuan's anger: "If I don't kill him, will I let him expose my identity?"

Feeling the Qi and blood filling his body, the fat man was in a good mood and said, "However, this pharmacist has quite a few treasures on him, like this Blood-Filling Pill. Taking one can quickly recover even from a serious injury, and it can also replenish Qi and blood, greatly improving combat strength. It's a pity that you can only take one of these pills at a time, otherwise there is a risk of exploding and dying."

Although Jiang Xuan had not been promoted to the Heavenly Rank for long, he had heard of the name of Xueying Pills.

However, I heard that in addition to the effects mentioned by the fat man, the Xueying Pills also have significant side effects.

Because the drug forcibly stimulates qi and blood, it will cause the user to suffer from qi and blood loss after the effect wears off. There is also a side effect that has not been manifested in fat people.

The side effect of Xueying Pills is also the most direct way to determine whether to take Xueying Pills - after taking Xueying Pills, the user's whole body will show a very obvious swelling, and this swelling will slowly fade and disappear until the effect of the medicine is completely lost.

Combined with what Jiang Xian said before, it is very likely that the Xueying Pill taken by the fat man is of extremely high quality, thus weakening its corresponding side effects.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan became even angrier towards the fat man.

After introducing the Blood-Prospering Pills, the fat man looked at Jiang Xuan with an amused expression and said, "It's a pity that among the pills left by this pharmacist, there are many that are more valuable than the Strengthening Muscle Powder, but there is no Strengthening Muscle Powder, which I need most to advance to the peak of the Heavenly Rank. That's why I have to ask Brother Jiang for it." The fat man had already determined that Jiang Xuan would never walk out of this dense forest alive, so he opened up and revealed some secrets.

While the fat man was talking, Jiang Xuan had already figured out his next response strategy.

Although his chances of winning against the fat man who had taken the Blood-Profiting Pill were less than 30%, he had already made a plan that gave him the greatest chance of winning.

From the fat man's perspective, wasn't he just waiting for Jiang Xuan's poison to take effect so that he could take advantage of the situation?

At this moment, the black rhino was hidden in a huge rock dozens of feet away, so it was not realistic to get it immediately.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan's mind moved, and he knocked his right heel. The silver spear behind him leaped up and landed steadily in Jiang Xuan's hand.

"This spear is called 'Yan Xing'. It is eight feet long and has never killed anyone!" Jiang Xuan's eyes were firm. This was the first time he used the Yan Xing spear in a real bloody battle.

Carrying the Yanxing Spear on his shoulder, Jiang Xuan prepared to use the Suiyuan Spear Technique.

Jiang Xuan did not lie during his last battle with the skinny guy. He really felt that this set of casual spear techniques was as casual as its name suggested. Once used, he would inevitably be ridiculed.

But in this battle, he was facing a warrior whose strength had reached the peak of the heavenly level. He really couldn't have the idea of ​​training anymore and must not be arrogant.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Jiang Xuan's posture, the fat man couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Boy, are you trying to use this funny action to interfere with my judgment?"

"I hope you always think so!" Jiang Xuan shouted, swaying as he rushed towards the fat man.

The two men got close, Jiang Xuan swung his right arm, and the spear drew a silver arc, sweeping towards the fat man.

"So fast!" the fat man exclaimed.

Although he said this, the fat man was not panicked at all. Although Jiang Xuan's sweep was completely beyond his expectations, it still couldn't break his defense.

The fat man didn't raise his knife, but just dodged and made Jiang Xuan's attack miss.

Jiang Xuan was shocked when his first strike missed. However, he didn't have much time to adjust as he was about to launch his second strike with his Suiyuan spear technique.

"Not good!" Jiang Xuan felt a numbness in his right shoulder, followed by severe pain.

He had no choice but to give up the second strike with his spear technique that was about to start, stepped forward, endured the pain and kept as much distance between himself and the fat man as possible.

The fat man naturally saw Jiang Xuan's reaction, grinned, and immediately jumped out with his knife raised, slashing at Jiang Xuan.

The Yanxing Spear is as light as a swallow, and thanks to this, even though Jiang Xuan's arms have begun to feel numb, he was still able to use the Yanxing to strike at a speed that was not inferior to the Wuxi.

"Hey!"

With a loud noise, Jiang Xuan, who was holding the silver spear in both hands to block, was chopped down by the fat man and flew back several feet.

Jiang Xuan sat on the ground, enduring the pain and spitting out the blood in his mouth. His hands had begun to go numb.

He couldn't help but wonder: "Is this battle about to end?"
