CHAPTER 1165: CHAPTER 1165: DIVINE SOUL ASSAULT

Jing Yan’s laughter interrupted Kui Ya’s offer.

"Yan Jin Alchemist, what are you laughing at?" Kui Ya frowned, seemingly puzzled by Jing Yan’s laughter.

"Manager Kui Ya, don’t joke with me," Jing Yan shook his head and said.

"Joking? When have I ever joked?" Kui Ya also shook his head, his expression serious.

"Offering five million first-tier Divine Crystals for a Qu Luo Pill—isn’t that a joke? In the Divine Domain, a high-quality Qu Luo Pill is worth at least around twenty million first-tier Divine Crystals, right? If your offer is serious, then I ask, what do you mean by offering five million first-tier Divine Crystals?" Jing Yan’s aura intensified slightly.

"In the Divine Domain, of course, the price of these elixirs is higher. However, we’re on the Void Divine Ship. Moreover, I intend to buy all the elixirs here, so the price is naturally somewhat reduced. Is this difficult to understand?" Kui Ya spoke in a matter-of-fact, indifferent tone.

In fact, on the Void Divine Ship, elixirs are only more expensive than in the Divine Domain.

"Manager Kui Ya, I truly do not understand your high reasoning, nor can I accept your price. If the price is as you say, I am willing to purchase some elixirs. If Manager Kui Ya has elixirs to sell, bring them out, and I will buy them all at your offered price, how about that?" Jing Yan gestured dismissively.

Actually, Jing Yan had already seen through Kui Ya and his accomplice’s intent in coming to the Radiant Pill Store. They were simply envious of the Divine Crystals the store was making and wanted a share.

In Jing Yan’s view, this Kui Ya had a remarkably large appetite.

The total value of the elixirs in the store counter was around four billion Divine Crystals, and according to Kui Ya’s offer, these elixirs would only be worth about one billion first-tier Divine Crystals. In other words, Kui Ya wanted to gain over two billion Divine Crystals from Jing Yan right at the start.

With such a large appetite, how could Jing Yan possibly agree?

"Yan Jin Alchemist, could it be that you are disregarding my face?" Kui Ya said with a sinister tone.

"What do you mean by this, Manager Kui Ya? Am I very familiar with you? If I’re not mistaken, today should be our first meeting. That means we are completely unfamiliar with each other, not even acquaintances. Given this, why should I give you face?" Jing Yan replied with a cold laugh.

"Good! Very good!"

"Yan Jin Alchemist truly is a courageous person. Within the lower levels of the Void Divine Ship, there is truly no second person with such daring," Kui Ya’s words were filled with barely concealed anger.

"Manager Kui Ya overrates me! I have no other virtues but this courage, which indeed is not small!" Jing Yan responded sharply!

"You dog, how dare you disrespect the Manager, you seek death!" The manager standing beside Kui Ya suddenly leaped up, striking at Jing Yan with his palm.

Instantly, within the Pill Store, Divine Power and Power of Laws interweaved, and terrifying power surged forth.

"An overestimating clown!" Jing Yan sneered, his expression slightly changing as a finger seal suddenly condensed and appeared with a slight flick of his hand.

"Puff!"

In just an instant, the manager’s figure was blown backward. He felt an astounding force pressing down on him, followed by an irresistible force sending him flying.

"Buzzing!"

After the manager’s miserable cry as he flew back, a fierce wave of divine soul power surged from Kui Ya, violently sweeping towards Jing Yan.

This divine soul power was particularly venomous, seemingly aiming directly at Jing Yan’s divine soul. The temperature in the vicinity of the divine soul power rapidly dropped.

Jing Yan turned his gaze, also releasing a wave of divine soul energy.

Kui Ya’s divine soul energy was indeed quite strong. But in front of Jing Yan’s divine soul, it was like a minor power juxtaposed with a major one. In the entire Divine Realm, few martial artists of the True God Realm can match Jing Yan in divine soul power.

This Kui Ya, just a martial artist with the cultivation base of an Eight-star True God Realm, absurdly tried to attack Jing Yan with divine soul—what a laughable notion.

Under the assault of Jing Yan’s divine soul, Kui Ya’s divine soul didn’t last even the blink of an eye before crumbling and dispersing. Subsequently, Jing Yan’s divine soul energy pressed down fiercely on Kui Ya’s Divine Soul Body.

Kui Ya’s face instantly turned ashen, his entire body trembling. His Divine Soul Body seemed to take a heavy blow, cracks appearing, and he nearly couldn’t stand. After stumbling slightly, he nearly fell. Kui Ya felt a sweetness in his mouth, barely restraining himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood. He clamped his mouth shut tightly, finally forcing the rising blood back down.

The intense pain on his Divine Soul Body almost made Kui Ya cry out in agony.

But at this time, he had no time to check the damage to his Divine Soul Body. His whole heart was filled with terror.

The divine soul power released by Jing Yan was simply terrifying. His own divine soul, in front of Jing Yan’s divine soul energy, was like a three-year-old child facing an adult, the difference immeasurable.

His horrified gaze fixed on Jing Yan, with only one thought in his mind—what exactly was this Yan Jin’s cultivation?

Taking such a huge hit, Kui Ya dared not act further. By now, if he still couldn’t understand that Jing Yan’s strength far surpassed his, then he must be a fool.

This time he truly hit an iron wall. Not only did he fail to take a bite out of the Radiant Pill Store, but he also severely damaged his own divine soul. For martial artists, an injured divine soul is a grave matter. Even with a minor injury, it requires a lengthy rest to recover.

"It seems I misjudged. Yan Jin Alchemist, you turned out to be a deeply hidden master. However, what you’ve done today, you might regret it in the future!" Kui Ya, after taking a deep breath, spoke again.

"Let’s go!" Kui Ya called to the manager who was getting up from the ground.

This manager was also feeling quite uncomfortable. His Dao Palace shook, his Martial Arts Meridians tingled. Hearing Kui Ya’s words, he hurried to follow, not daring to look back at Jing Yan even once until they left the Pill Store.

These people are all bullies by nature; when genuinely confronted with tough individuals, their toughness is all a façade.

"Master Manager, that beast is so audacious to even disregard your ’face,’ are we really going to let this go?" Outside the Pill Store, the manager, having recovered, spoke in a sinister voice to Kui Ya.

Kui Ya didn’t immediately respond; he grunted. A streak of crimson blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his face paler.

Hearing Kui Ya’s grunt, the manager instinctively looked up and saw the blood at Kui Ya’s mouth, feeling a chill in his heart.

Earlier, during the divine soul confrontation between Kui Ya and Jing Yan, this manager had been completely oblivious.
