Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 154 Refining Pills

"Oh no, this is..."

Zhang Tianxing secretly thought, "This is bad. What if I get hit by this thing?"

He took a deep breath and quickly swung his longsword forward.

Even so, it was still too late.

Although he managed to deflect two of the whirlwind arrows, the remaining three struck him squarely in the body.

A whirlwind arrow pierced his abdomen, another destroyed his left knee, and the last arrow embedded itself in his heart.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhang Tianxing was drenched in cold sweat as he stared frantically at Xu Yao in front of him.

"You bastard, how dare you play such dirty tricks on me! I'm not finished with you!"

With a roar, Zhang Tianxing threw a powerful punch at Xu Yao like a madman.

The punch landed squarely on Xu Yao's abdomen. With the force of the blow, Xu Yao grunted and was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Xu Yao crashed to the ground, creating a large crater, and uncontrollably coughed up a lot of blood.

However, this attack did not kill Xu Yao.

Moreover, the instant Xu Yao was struck, he also swung his sword at Zhang Tianxing.

The longsword whistled as it plunged straight into Zhang Tianxing's throat.

Although Zhang Tianxing severely injured Xu Yao, he himself was not much better off.

He stared in disbelief at the longsword lodged in his throat.

"How could...it have turned out like this..."

Unable to control his body any longer, he staggered and fell to the ground, without making a sound.

Upon seeing that scene, the leader who had been beaten down earlier was filled with despair.

"Brother Tianxing, is he dead?"

"How could such a thing happen? Logically speaking, it shouldn't have happened at all."

Zhang Tianxing is dead, but Xu Yao was only seriously injured. Du Cheng and Du Gong are still alive.

No matter how you look at it, this is still a certain death situation.

What can he possibly use to fight Xu Yao? He has absolutely no options!

The leader, preoccupied with these thoughts, had absolutely no idea what to do.

At that time, Xu Yao had already spoken to Du Cheng and Du Gong.

"Du Cheng and Du Gong, what are you two standing there for? Kill them right now! Don't let them escape! Do you understand?!"

Du Cheng and Du Gong felt ashamed and glanced at Xu Yao.

"Yes, we know."

"Even if you don't say it, we understand."

The two immediately took action, killing the remaining survivors one by one.

Upon seeing that scene, the leader's eyes were filled with despair.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Du Cheng and the others.

"Please, don't do this."

"I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again. I was greedy for a moment. Please, please forgive me, it really won't happen again, I don't want to die!"

Du Cheng and Du Gong looked at the leader's words with disdain.

"You think you can just stay alive if you don't want to die? Who do you think you are? An angel?"

"Go to hell! There's no point in living someone like you!"

With a roar, Du Cheng and Du Gong executed the leader on the spot.

Silence fell upon the spot.

The two quickly went to Xu Yao's side to check his injuries.

"Xu Yao, how are you? Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Xu Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Who knows what other people might be lurking around here? Let's leave first and make sure we're safe."

Du Cheng and Du Gong nodded and immediately left with Xu Yao.

After leaving the area, Xu Yao took a healing pill.

However, his internal injuries were quite severe, and even with healing pills, it would take at least three days to recover.

With that in mind, Xu Yao immediately took out the medicine cauldron.

Upon seeing the medicine cauldron, Du Cheng and Du Gong's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Xu Yao, what's this?"

"A medicine cauldron? Haven't you seen one before?"

"I have seen it before, but what are you doing taking this out? Do you think you can refine pills?"

"nonsense."

After answering, Xu Yao immediately took out some pills he had obtained earlier from his spatial ring.

"Illusion Grass, Heart-Fluttering Fruit, and Deep Rain Lotus, these three should be enough as the main medicinal ingredients."

As he spoke, Xu Yao immediately put the medicinal herbs into the cauldron and began to control the flames.

Immediately, a fragrance wafted outwards.

Upon seeing this scene, Du Cheng's eyes widened in astonishment.

"My goodness, little brother, Xu Yao is really amazing. I didn't expect that not only is he strong, but he can also refine pills."

"Yes, brother, he's an extraordinary person."

"Let's stop talking so as not to delay Xu Yao's pill refining. Let's keep quiet."

"Uh-huh."

Immediately, Du Cheng and Du Gong sat down silently, cautiously looking around to prevent any accidents from happening.

At the same time, they watched Xu Yao's every move with a mixture of caution and curiosity.

After some time, the elixir was almost complete.

Xu Yao took a deep breath and unleashed his spiritual power at the last moment.

With a loud boom, a round, red pill shot out of the cauldron.

Upon seeing the pill that landed in Xu Yao's hand, Du Cheng and Du Gong couldn't help but widen their eyes in curiosity.

"Xu Yao, is this the elixir?"

"By the way, what kind of pill is this?"

"My specially made healing pills are ten times more effective than those on the market."

Upon hearing this, Du Cheng and Du Gong's eyes were filled with surprise again.

"My goodness, it's such a wonderful thing."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you specialized in selling these kinds of pills, you could definitely make a lot of money."

"Come on," Xu Yao retorted irritably. "You think you can just make this stuff whenever you want? The medicinal herbs are hard to come by, and they're expensive. Plus, making it is incredibly mentally taxing. Besides, this stuff is simply not something ordinary people can afford. Who do you expect me to sell it to?"

"Enough with the nonsense. I need to take some pills to recover. Don't bother me."

Upon hearing this, Du Cheng and Du Gong immediately nodded, but kept their eyes fixed on Xu Yao's actions without making a sound.

Xu Yao focused intently on refining the pill in his hand.

After swallowing it, you immediately feel a cool sensation.

The spiritual energy of the elixir flowed through his body, rapidly repairing various parts of his body.

After some time, Xu Yao opened his eyes again.

He coughed violently a few times and spat out some blood.

Upon seeing this scene, Du Cheng and Du Gong couldn't help but take a deep breath.
