Supreme Martial God of the City

"He... He really wants to compete in alchemy with Ma Shan?"

The entire crowd first fell silent, then erupted in a tide of exclamations, staring incredulously at Ye Tian.

"Master..."

You Sha was also momentarily stunned, his face changing dramatically, about to step forward to stop him, but was immediately held back by the Sky Demon King.

"Old You, don't worry."

"The master always does what he says."

The Sky Demon King's tone was full of confidence, reverently gazing at Ye Tian's back, his white clothes like snow, incomparable in magnificence.

"But..."

You Sha was somewhat anxious. Previously, he had witnessed the master forcibly blowing up two alchemy furnaces. He initially thought coming to Medicine City to find a pill furnace was to seek someone from the Dan Alliance to perform alchemy.

However, seeing that the Sky Demon King was no longer paying attention to him, he stopped speaking. After all, with his master's high status, losing was of no consequence.

Inside the carriage.

Uncle Lei and Little Hua were huddled inside, trembling, not expecting the seemingly harmless old man to be the fifteenth-ranked Netherworld Ancestor on the Kunlun Divine List.

Now hearing that Ye Tian was going to compete in alchemy with an Alchemy Master, they were even more shock-stricken, utterly unable to comprehend what kind of great figures they had encountered.

"Xun Yue, cough cough, that... that Xiao Feng is what grade of Alchemist?"

Qian Yao looked forward expectantly at Qian Xunyue, not expecting her grandson-in-law to be not only peerlessly skilled in cultivation but also a powerful Alchemist.

If it were known that this was her granddaughter's husband, wouldn't it be immensely prestigious, truly exhilarating.

"I... I don't know either. He didn't tell me."

Qian Xunyue answered, bewildered, after a moment of blankness.

Outside.

Ma Shan laughed triumphantly, looking at Ye Tian, and said, "Fine, the time for our alchemy duel is set for tomorrow, at the Dan Alliance assessment place."

"How about it?"

Ma Shan now felt the exhilaration of triumph, certain of victory for tomorrow's duel, his face brimming with confidence.

An alchemy duel is akin to martial arts competition in the alchemy world, where various Dan Sects and numerous Pill Masters resolve grudges and understand enmities in the simplest and most straightforward way.

Martial Cultivators respect those strong in power. Alchemists, similarly, value mastery in alchemy. Whoever's alchemy technique is superior is the victor; there are no other explanations.

Those with strong cultivation might have their alchemy technique lag far behind talented young Alchemists.

In short, an alchemy duel tests alchemy techniques, having little relation to cultivation realm.

Ma Shan didn't expect Ye Tian would so easily accept such a challenge; he had spent decades in Medicine City, the title of Second-grade Alchemist was not boastful but real alchemy technique.

In Kunlun, Ma Shan considered his alchemy technique surpassed only by a few High-level Second-grade and Peak Alchemists.

The Medicine City Pill Alliance Leader was one of them. Besides him, no other Alchemist in Medicine City could defeat him in an alchemy duel, let alone Ye Tian, who appeared as a family scion.

"Very well, you agreed."

"Tomorrow morning, the Dan Alliance awaits your esteemed presence."

The Medicine City Pill Alliance Leader waved his sleeve, his face dark, obviously angered by Ye Tian's words.

Ready to leave.

"Wait."

Ye Tian's voice suddenly called out, halting the Alliance Leader and his group.

Ma Shan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, thumping, thinking, "Damn, is he going to back out?"

"What's the matter?"

The Alliance Leader sneered, as he expected, it wasn't going to be easy; he wondered what Ye Tian intended.

"Tomorrow is too late. I, for one..."

"Live by racing against time!"

"Furthermore, I'm not competing with him; I'm challenging your entire Dan Alliance. He's not even qualified to make me act."

Ye Tian's face bore the usual calm, faint smile, appearing serene as if... it was naturally so, showcasing immense confidence.

"You're mad."

Sea Suppressing Dragon General Fang Qintian, who was standing to the side, nearly blurted out.

The onlooking crowd felt the same, looking at Ye Tian as if gazing at a madman.

"You insult me?"

Ma Shan's face turned red, his fists clenching audibly, shouting at Ye Tian.

The Alliance Leader was momentarily stunned, then laughed mockingly, shaking his head:

"Young man, your courage indeed isn't small. Since the establishment of our Dan Alliance, you're the first to dare challenge us as an individual, just for that attitude, I respect you a bit."

"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Other Alchemy Grandmasters, considering themselves noble and superior, now faced public humiliation.

A blue-robed Alchemist, cultivation in the Spirit Martial Realm's Third-rank, directly shouted in anger, extending his palm, delivering a fierce strike toward Ye Tian.

"Seeking death."

The Sky Demon King's eyes glinted coldly, a punch shattered the attack, instantly moved to the blue-robed Alchemist's front, grabbed his neck with one hand, and returned to Ye Tian's side.

This series of actions took only two breaths, so quick no one could react.

"Release Alchemist Chen!!"

His close friends shouted at the Sky Demon King.

The face of the Medicine City Pill Alliance Leader darkened, his Second-grade Alchemist was being held like a chicken. This clearly challenged the Dan Alliance's authority.

"Sky Demon, release him."

Ye Tian pointed to Alchemist Chen. The Sky Demon King pursed his lips, released his grip, and threw Alchemist Chen heavily to the ground.

At this moment, the noisy environment quieted down, the Sky Demon King's assertive move indicated that the man before them was not to be trifled with.

"Cough cough~~~"

"Alchemist Chen, are you alright?"

His friend immediately helped him up, concern evident, seeing Alchemist Chen's blue robe turning grey, covered in dust, looking very disheveled.

"I'm fine, not dead."

Alchemist Chen revealed a fierce look, coming beside the leader and saluting:

"Our Dan Alliance hasn't had a challenge for a long time. Since he is so bold, seeking defeat."

"Alliance Leader, I suggest you agree. It's a good opportunity to showcase the Dan Alliance's strength. I request to join the battle!"

The Alliance Leader frowned slightly. A young man challenging the Dan Alliance alone should be refused for the Alliance's reputation.

If the Kunlun Martial Artists believed the Dan Alliance bullied the weak, he would surely be removed as the leader.

However, Alchemist Chen was the strongest Alchemist in the alliance besides him, and Ye Tian's arrogant words had really infuriated him, unable to quell his anger without suppressing Ye Tian's arrogance.

Seeing the consensus from the Dan Alliance's Alchemists, he made his decision.

Smoothing the folds of his Alchemist Robe, his gaze sharp like blades: "Fine, since you proposed an alchemy duel, the Dan Alliance won't refuse. Alchemist Chen will represent the Dan Alliance in this duel."

"The time is one hour from now."

"Very well, I will go there first."

"Sky Demon, guard the Ma Family here."

Ye Tian smiled lightly.

The Black Flame Fierce Horse, once again galloped towards a tower-shaped building.

Behind, followed a large group of Martial Artists.
