Chapter 115 Divine Artifact Evolution
"You..." Ye Shuli was speechless for a moment. This old guy really knows how to seize the opportunity!
She bit her lip, her mind racing as she considered her options.
This Celestial Star Stone is a crucial material for refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill; there can be absolutely no mistakes!
Young Master Lin had a smug look on his face, which made Ye Shuli want to kick him away.
The evil alchemist grinned wickedly, his eyes crinkling with wrinkles, like a withered chrysanthemum.
"What? Feeling sorry for him? Can't bear to part with this pretty boy? If you want the Heavenly Star Stone, then obediently let him go!" He waved the Heavenly Star Stone in his hand, his tone extremely arrogant, as if victory was already in his grasp.
Ye Shuli suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and tried her best to remain calm.
"Old man, are you sure you want to be my enemy?" Her voice was cold, carrying a hint of warning.
"Hahaha! Little girl, you've got quite the nerve!" The evil alchemist laughed wildly, his turbid eyes gleaming with greed. "Who do you think you are? You dare threaten me? If you know what's good for you, you'd better behave and listen to me, otherwise..." He suddenly tightened the spiritual power in his hand, and the Heavenly Star Stone emitted an even more dazzling light, as if it would explode at any moment.
"You dare!" Ye Shuli's heart tightened. Had this old man gone mad?
Did he not know the value of the Celestial Star Stone?
If it gets destroyed, it won't do him any good either!
Aren't you afraid of a lose-lose situation?
"A lose-lose situation?" The evil alchemist sneered disdainfully. "As long as I can get the secrets you possess, what does it matter if this broken stone is destroyed?" He stared at Ye Shuli greedily, as if she were some priceless treasure.
"Just surrender obediently, and maybe I'll give you a quick death!"
Ye Shuli cursed inwardly, "This old guy won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!"
It seems the only option is...
She caught a glimpse of Jiang Ye, who was eager to try, out of the corner of her eye, and gently shook her head, signaling him to calm down.
"Okay, I agree." Ye Shuli suddenly smiled, but her tone was as cold as ice. "However, it's a matter of handing over the person and the goods."
Upon hearing this, the evil alchemist
"Alright!" The evil alchemist readily agreed, secretly pleased. This girl was indeed still too inexperienced!
Ye Shuli slowly walked towards the evil alchemist, a strange smile on her face, one step, two steps...
Just then, she suddenly...
Ye Shuli slowly walked towards the evil alchemist, a strange smile on her face, one step, two steps...
Just then, she suddenly accelerated, instantly closing the distance between herself and the evil alchemist.
Just as the evil alchemist reacted, Ye Shuli's hand moved with lightning speed, grabbing the Heavenly Star Stone from his hand.
"Hmph, dream on!" The evil alchemist sneered, his spiritual power tightening suddenly as he prepared to crush the Heavenly Star Stone.
However, at this critical moment, Jiang Ye suddenly jumped out from his hiding place, leaped towards the evil alchemist, and condensed spiritual power in his hand, hitting the evil alchemist in the back with perfect accuracy.
"Bang!" The evil alchemist leaned forward, and the Heavenly Star Stone in his hand flew out.
Ye Shuli reacted quickly, catching the Heavenly Star Stone in one go, secretly rejoicing: "This kid is really capable!"
Caught off guard by Jiang Ye's attack, the evil alchemist fell to the ground, his face a mixture of anger and panic.
He struggled to get up, only to find Jiang Ye blocking his way, looking at him with a wicked grin.
"Old man, your skills are too amateurish!" Jiang Ye teased, his spiritual energy surging in his hands, as if he were ready to launch another attack at any moment.
The evil alchemist roared, his spiritual power surging as he attempted to retaliate against Jiang Ye.
However, Jiang Ye had already anticipated his move, nimbly dodging to the side while simultaneously counterattacking with a spiritual fist, forcing the evil alchemist to retreat.
At the same time, Ye Shuli quickly initiated the artifact evolution ritual.
Holding the Celestial Stone, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be attracted by some invisible force, gathering towards her.
At that moment, she radiated a unique aura that was truly awe-inspiring.
"This...this girl is really that strong?" The onlookers discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with amazement and awe.
They witnessed this scene as if they were in the midst of an epic battle.
Young Master Lin was furious when he saw the materials being taken away, and his face turned ashen.
Without further hesitation, he launched a full-scale attack, his spiritual power surging towards Jiang Ye like a tidal wave.
Jiang Ye nimbly dodged and counterattacked at the same time, and the battle between the two quickly escalated. Sparks flew where their spiritual energy collided, and the fierce battle was in full swing.
"Jiang Ye, be careful!" Ye Shuli's voice rang out amidst the chaos. Although her mind was completely immersed in the evolution ritual of the artifact, her worry for Jiang Ye was still evident.
Jiang Ye smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit: "Don't worry, I can handle this bit of fighting!" As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up and rushed towards Young Master Lin's spiritual power. The two of them attacked like a tornado, tearing apart the surrounding air.
Ye Shuli held the Heavenly Star Stone in her hand, chanting incantations that echoed in the air.
The Celestial Stone emitted a dazzling light, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly into her body, forming a huge vortex.
The artifact sensed this powerful force and began to vibrate violently, emitting a buzzing sound, as if a sleeping behemoth was awakening.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and an invisible force spread outwards from Ye Shuli as the center, like a shockwave, blasting Young Master Lin and the Evil Alchemist away.
Young Master Lin crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
The evil alchemist was in no better shape; he was so suppressed by this power that he couldn't move and felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed into pieces.
"Ah... what kind of power is this?" The evil alchemist groaned in pain, feeling as if his body was being torn apart by an invisible force, as if it were about to rip him apart.
Young Master Lin was in no better shape. He felt like prey trapped in a spider web, unable to move and forced to watch helplessly as he was devoured.
"That's awesome! Old man, now you know how powerful you are!" Jiang Ye said gloatingly from the side. "Serves you right for bullying my Xiao Li!" As he spoke, he didn't forget to make a face at the evil alchemist.
Ye Shuli was also startled by this sudden power, but she quickly calmed down and continued to guide the power into the artifact.
After absorbing this power, the artifact shone even brighter, radiating a suffocating pressure.
"It's done!" Ye Shuli was overjoyed. She could feel that the artifact had completed its evolution and become even more powerful.
She slowly opened her eyes, which shone with confidence.
Jiang Ye came to Ye Shuli's side, looking at her figure bathed in the light of the divine artifact, his eyes filled with love and admiration.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
"Cough cough..." The evil alchemist struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye. "You...you just wait!"
……
Seeing that all was lost, the evil alchemist was filled with despair and resentment.
He grinned savagely, his eyes revealing madness. "Since I can't have you, then you won't have it easy either! You'll all be buried with me!" With that, the spiritual power within his body began to surge wildly, and a destructive aura spread out.
"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct!" The onlookers cried out in alarm and scattered in all directions.
Jiang Ye's expression changed as well; he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
At the critical moment, Ye Shuli remained unusually calm.
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Want to self-destruct? I'll let you explode as much as you want!" With that, she quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and a strange array unfolded beneath her feet.
This formation was improved upon by her based on energy guidance methods from modern knowledge.
Once the formation was complete, a powerful suction force drew in the energy from the evil alchemist's self-destruction.
Ye Shuli's eyes sharpened as she manipulated the energy, guiding it toward Young Master Lin, who was not far away.
Young Master Lin was just feeling lucky to have escaped a disaster, but he didn't expect that the next second, a destructive energy would come rushing towards him.
He was swallowed up by the energy before he could even react.
With a loud "boom," Young Master Lin was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.
The scene was a mess, with dust flying everywhere.
The onlookers were stunned; the plot twist was too fast!
Just a moment ago, Young Master Lin was arrogant and domineering, but in the blink of an eye, he has become this miserable state. It is true that what goes around comes around, and no one can escape the wrath of Heaven!
"Xiao Li, that was a really ruthless move!" Jiang Ye swallowed hard as he watched, his eyes filled with admiration.
Ye Shuli shrugged, looking completely innocent. "There's nothing I can do. He tried to harm me, so I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine."
After the artifact evolved, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye clearly felt an increase in their strength.
Ye Shuli's spiritual power is more refined, and Jiang Ye's spiritual power is more profound.
"This feels amazing!" Jiang Ye clenched his fist and said excitedly.
"Yes, but..." Ye Shuli's
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ye noticed Ye Shuli's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
Ye Shuli shook her head, "I can't explain it, it's just a gut feeling..."
Suddenly, a strange noise came from afar, breaking the brief silence.
"What was that sound?" Jiang Ye looked into the distance warily.
"Let's go take a look." Ye Shuli also sensed a hint of unease and pulled Jiang Ye towards the direction from which the strange noise came...
