Chapter 136 Blood Pill Reappears
His brows raised slightly, and he suddenly became alert. That pill was the Blood Pill used by the Demon Cult. This pill was used by the Demon Cult to enhance combat effectiveness for a short period of time, but the price was extremely high, and the users often could not bear the huge side effects.
"That's the elixir of the Demon Cult!" Lin Chang'an's heart trembled, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The elders in the audience, responsible for maintaining order during the match, also noticed the pill and immediately stepped forward to stop it. However, the Xue family's young master had clearly made up his mind. Before the elders could even approach, he swallowed the blood pill without hesitation. Suddenly, a bloody aura filled the air, dyeing the surrounding air red.
"This is... the medicine of the Demonic Cult. It cannot be used casually!" the old man shouted and wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late.
The audience around began to stir, and some people whispered, "That's someone from the Xue family! He's actually using the Demon Cult's elixir?"
"He's courting death!" another person exclaimed.
Lin Chang'an sneered as he heard these comments. Although the Xue family's young master came from a distinguished family background, he clearly didn't know how to control such a dangerous elixir. Once the blood elixir's side effects erupted, they would cause irreversible damage to the body, potentially even death.
At the start of the match, the Xue family's young master stood erect, his gaze stern. His aura became unusually intense, even violent. He swung his sword with a swift, dizzying speed. The entire audience was stunned, as if he had suddenly become immensely powerful.
"Is this the effect of the blood pill?" Lin Chang'an observed calmly. He was not confused by the changes before his eyes, but instead calmly analyzed the performance of the Xue family's young master in his mind.
However, the situation did not last as long as he had expected. As time passed, the Xue family's young master's complexion gradually turned pale, and his movements began to slow down. It was obvious that the side effects of the blood pill were beginning to show.
"Puff!" The young master of the Xue family suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, he staggered backward, and finally fell on the ring.
"What happened to him...?" someone in the audience exclaimed, and the atmosphere froze instantly.
"He can't hold on!" another person whispered, his expression full of astonishment and sympathy.
Lin Chang'an smiled calmly, his mind becoming more reassured of his own judgment. While this blood pill had briefly boosted the Xue family's young master's fighting prowess, it had also pushed his body to its limits. Clearly, he hadn't mastered the drug well, and instead lost his fighting ability, ultimately ending in failure.
"This is the aftermath of the Demon Cult." Lin Changan muttered to himself with a cold look in his eyes.
A flicker of reluctance flashed through the Xue family's young master's eyes, but his body could no longer support him. He passed out and was quickly carried off the stage. The old man sighed and signaled the end of the match.
Lin Changan turned around and prepared to leave, but before leaving the ring, he glanced at Bing Hongbin, who was standing next to him with a look of admiration and respect. His eyes were a little complicated, as if he was thinking about something.
"He is not suitable for challenges anymore." Lin Changan said lightly, giving Bing Hongbin a meaningful look.
The atmosphere of the match instantly became tense, and all the spectators focused their attention on the ring. City Lord Bing Zhentian walked onto the ring, holding a medicinal pill in his hand, looking uneasy. He walked over to Xue Lang, put the pill into his mouth, and motioned for him to swallow it.
Although Xue Lang's breathing was disordered and his face was pale, he still swallowed the pill without hesitation. Then, the City Lord Bing Zhentian coldly ordered, "Carry him away and let the Xue family go to the City Lord's Mansion to accept punishment. What happened today is not just a defeat at the hands of Bing An, but also suspicion of collusion with the Demon Cult."
As soon as he finished speaking, members of the Xue family stepped forward, carried Xue Lang off the stage, and took him to the City Lord's Mansion. This scene shocked the audience, and everyone whispered, wondering why the Xue family was involved with the Demon Cult.
"How dare you collude with the Demon Cult? You're truly courting death." Lin Chang'an stood in the crowd, his eyes cold. Although Bing Zhentian managed to maintain his composure, he was clearly thinking about how to deal with the situation.
The match continued, and Bing Hongbin was about to take the stage. His sister Bingyan stood outside, cheering him on enthusiastically with an encouraging look on her face. Bing Hongbin stepped into the ring, his eyes determined, but his face hinted at a hint of nervousness. His opponent looked similar to him, with a similarly steady aura, clearly a capable challenger.
From the outset of the match, Bing Hongbin and his opponent engaged in a fierce battle. The two exchanged sharp blows, each with its own fierceness. Bing Yan watched anxiously from the sidelines, feeling the deep pressure from her brother with each strike. Although Bing Hongbin remained relentless, his opponent's speed and strength were no less impressive, making him feel a slight strain.
In the following rounds, Bing Hongbin's movements gradually became slower, and his opponent smiled smugly, seemingly convinced that victory was within his grasp. However, at this moment, Bing Hongbin suddenly turned, changing the rhythm of his attack and launching a surprising sweeping blow.
That blow hit the opponent's vital point. The opponent tried to dodge, but was hit anyway, and finally defeated by Bing Hongbin's continuous attacks.
Bingyan cheered, overjoyed at her brother's victory, but she knew her next opponent would be even stronger. Bing Hongbin was panting. Although he had narrowly won, his body was beginning to struggle against the intense confrontation.
As the competition continued, Bing Hongbin faced several opponents, but none of them were particularly formidable, allowing him to easily defeat them. His breathing gradually calmed, but the vigilance in his eyes remained. Each victory made him more cautious, and he became more aware that the upcoming challenges would not be easy.
Lin Chang'an watched the match unfold, preparing to quietly leave. Just as he turned around, a man in black suddenly appeared on the stage. He was tall and powerful, clearly possessing extraordinary strength.
Lin Changan stopped and stared at the man in black with vigilance. The powerful aura emanating from this man made his heart tighten. It was obvious that this was no ordinary opponent.
At the start of the match, the man in black not only displayed outstanding offensive power, but also used powerful defensive techniques. Every attack by Bing Hongbin was almost neutralized, unable to cause any substantial damage. Even when Bing Hongbin used all his strength to attack, the powerful defensive force still firmly blocked all his attacks.
On the field, Bing Hongbin grew increasingly anxious, his attacks increasing in speed and frequency. However, the opponent's defense was like an iron wall, leaving no loopholes for him to break through.
