Wu Shattered Star River

With only seven days left until the two-month deadline, Jiang Han had only refined four hundred and sixty pills, and his refining speed had been decreasing lately.

This gave Xing Gu and Lvqiu Yin hope again. If they could avoid a direct confrontation, they certainly would.

Once they made a move, they would not only be seen as sore losers, becoming a laughingstock to many in the Heavenly Court, but they would also be violating military law.

Furthermore, Immortal Nine Xuan was very strong, even stronger than Xing Gu in combat. Immortal Nine Xuan was ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon榜, second only to Lu Xingyu.

Beside her was Immortal Biyao. If Immortal Biyao also joined the fight, they might not be able to kill Jiang Han with a single blow.

Xing Gu only had one chance to strike. If he couldn't kill Jiang Han with one move, he would have no chance at all.

He would not only bear the label of being a sore loser, but also face punishment, being stripped naked and whipped a hundred times…

“Buzz~”

The sky began to fluctuate again. Each time a celestial phenomenon appeared, it made Xing Gu and Lvqiu Yin's hearts tremble, and it also caused many people to exclaim in surprise.

Many cultivators were no longer in seclusion. One reason was that they felt the Heavenly Yuan Lantern was about to fail and a great battle could erupt at any time.

Another reason was that the bet deadline was approaching, and everyone wanted to see a good show.

“He must fail…”

Che Jiaren sat nervously next to Lvqiu Yin, her pretty face filled with anxiety.

She was now following Lvqiu Yin as his woman, which was public knowledge.

Naturally, she hoped Lvqiu Yin would win, and she also hated Jiang Han to the bone, hoping he would be killed to avenge Che Yongxuan.

Seven days, five days, three days, one day!

Jiang Han had been intermittent these past few days, only refining thirty or so pills, which meant he was still a few pills short.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Immortal Venerable Wuyun looked grave, Lu Xingyu opened his eyes, and even the Little Imperial Grandson stopped cultivating, turning his gaze towards Jiang Han.

The most relaxed person now was Immortal Biyao. Immortal Nine Xuan saw the smile on her lips and asked with some doubt, "Biyao, do you think he can refine them?"

“What are you thinking?”

Immortal Biyao smiled and transmitted her voice, "Have you ever seen anyone refine Grade 8 pills with such a high success rate? Have you ever seen anyone refine Grade 8 pills so quickly? I told you, Divine Pill Marquis is the strongest pill refiner under Emperor Qing."

“Uh…”

Immortal Nine Xuan was stunned and asked via voice transmission, "You mean, Divine Pill Marquis is doing this on purpose? Deliberately timing it to refine five hundred pills? Is he toying with Xing Gu and Lvqiu Yin?"

“Of course!”

Immortal Biyao smiled and transmitted her voice, "He was so stable for more than a month, how could he be so sloppy later on? He's doing it on purpose, to give Xing Gu and Lvqiu Yin a glimmer of hope, and then completely crush it."

“Hehe!”

A faint smile appeared on Immortal Nine Xuan's lips. She was originally a cold and aloof person and rarely smiled. This smile made many young men stare blankly, completely losing their bearings.

“Buzz~”

Sure enough, as Immortal Biyao expected, in the last half-day, Jiang Han refined a pill every hour.

One hour before the two-month deadline, he refined the last Heavenly Aperture Pill.

Everyone present was an immortal with a strong memory. Some cultivators were silently calculating, clearly remembering that this was the five hundredth pill.

“Wow~”

“He really succeeded!”

“Seven hundred portions of materials, five hundred Reverse Blood Pills, these are Grade 8 pills, Divine Pill Marquis actually succeeded!”

“Most importantly, he did it within two months. With such a pill refining speed, I'm afraid there aren't many pill refining masters in the entire Heavenly Court who can do it.”

“Not just a few, no one can do it except Emperor Qing!”

The platform exploded, countless cultivators stood up, discussing animatedly, and the scene became extremely noisy, like a marketplace.

All the cultivators opened their eyes and stopped cultivating. Many cultivators turned their gazes towards Xing Gu and Lvqiu Yin. Some cultivators' eyes were filled with playfulness and mockery, while others were excited.

Two top aristocratic young masters were about to be stripped naked, hung up, and whipped a hundred times. Such a scene would allow them to boast for a lifetime.

Lvqiu Yin and Xing Gu's expressions were extremely gloomy. Lvqiu Yin seemed unable to accept it. He stood up and said blankly, "Impossible, it must be an illusion, how could he have such a high success rate?"

As he spoke, Lvqiu Yin stumbled towards Jiang Han.

Che Jiaren quickly followed, and Lvqiu He chased after them, trying to stop Lvqiu Yin.

“Hehe!”

Seeing Lvqiu Yin like this, Immortal Nine Xuan and Immortal Biyao showed mocking expressions. Immortal Venerable Wuyun looked at Lvqiu He warily. Lvqiu Yin was nothing, but Lvqiu He was an Immortal Venerable.

“Impossible, he cheated, he must have cheated!”

Lvqiu Yin was still roaring in a low voice, constantly approaching the light罩, Immortal Nine Xuan and Immortal Biyao looked down on Lvqiu Yin and turned their heads away.

Just then, the light罩 flickered slightly, and Jiang Han and Yu Xi inside appeared.

“Impossible, he must have cheated!”

Lvqiu Yin was still roaring in despair, while Che Jiaren and Lvqiu He were pulling him aside.

Seeing this scene, countless cultivators in the audience revealed expressions of disdain. Was Lvqiu Yin a sore loser?

Lu Xingyu glanced at Lvqiu Yin, then turned his gaze to Xing Gu.

He saw a glint of cold light in Xing Gu's hand hidden in his sleeve. His eyes flashed slightly, he looked at Jiang Han, and immediately transmitted his voice, "Jiang Han, be careful of Xing Gu!"

“咻!”

As soon as Lu Xingyu finished speaking, Xing Gu soared into the air, his speed like lightning, rushing towards Jiang Han.

Almost at the same time, Lvqiu Yin and Lvqiu He also made their move.

Lvqiu He rushed towards Immortal Venerable Wuyun, while Lvqiu Yin took out a huge black flag and flung it towards Immortal Nine Xuan and Immortal Biyao. Che Jiaren was not idle either, actually taking the initiative to attack Yu Xi.

“Uh…”

The sudden change stunned everyone.

Many Immortal Venerables could actually react, but they couldn't afford to offend Xing Gu and Lvqiu Yin, and they didn't want to cause trouble, so naturally they didn't move.

“咻!”

Xing Gu's speed was extremely abnormal, and he arrived in front of Jiang Han in an instant.

In his hand was a pearl, the pearl bloomed with a cold light, and a terrifying gravity enveloped Jiang Han, like a mountain pressing down, making it impossible for Jiang Han to move.

Xing Gu held a golden sword in his other hand, a dharma image appeared behind him, four-colored light lit up on the sword, and streams of cold air flowed on it, filled with a terrifying aura.

“As expected, it's the Heavenly Meteorite Pearl!”

Seeing the pearl in Xing Gu's hand, Lu Xingyu's expression became solemn.

He wanted to make a move, but the Lu family's rules were to avoid intervening in any factional disputes as much as possible, and it was too late for him to act now.

“Jiang Han, die——”

Xing Gu didn't care about anything, his eyes were filled with killing intent. He roared, and the long sword cut through the sky, tearing the space apart, and heavily劈 towards Jiang Han's head.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Han was suppressed by a powerful gravity and couldn't move at all. He could only watch as the long sword heavily劈 towards his head.
