Hearing Xuan Hao call out to him, Chi Hu did not have any time to look over as he remained focused on the opponent in front of him.
The alchemist treasure hunter and Chi Hu had already fought each other for a bit, as Chi Hu tried to close the distance and get an attack in, while the alchemist treasure hunter kept him at a constant distance with all his weird potions.
It had to be known that the explosions and other effects brought along by the potions was nothing to scoff at, as Chi Hu had felt it personally when he had been hit by one of them, forcing him to retreat before a few more came flying his way.
Even at the Nascent Soul Realm, he would not be able to survive being hit by too many of the treasure hunter's weird potions…
The effect of the different potions far exceed what Chi Hu had witnessed in the past as they came with all sorts of weird effects outside of the normal explosions that he had seen before.
From creating a large cloud of freezing air that froze him in place, to a giant electric explosion that far exceeded the strength someone in the first stage of the Nascent Soul Realm should be able to produce.
"Fry!" Throwing yet another potion bottle in his direction, Chi Hu dodged to the side as the potion bottle exploded upon hitting the ground in a fiery explosion. Leaving behind a pool of red liquid on that bubbled menacingly. Warning Chi Hu that stepping on it was not a good idea.
"How do I even move close to him? Do I just wait for him to run out of potions to throw?" Thinking about what to do, Chi Hu felt that the chance of him being able to successfully dodge all the time until the treasure hunter ran out of potions was unlikely.
After all, the small potion bottles were plenty and Chi Hu could easily spot a few dozen on the outside of the treasure hunter's robe.
"Explode!" Not waiting for Chi Hu to come up with any plans, the alchemist treasure hunter threw out two different potions, one bright red giving off a terrifying heat, while the other was a dark purple with small electric sparks circling around the potion bottle itself.
Chi Hu only managed to set up a quick defensive barrier to block the attack, as the two potion bottles hit the ground right in front of him.
Boom Boom!
Followed by this, they both exploded and as the content from the two potions met each other and caused a reaction, Chi Hu could only stare on helplessly as an even larger and more deadly explosion spread out from the place that the two potions content met each other and soon Chi Hu and the surrounding trees were engulfed in an even larger explosion.
BOOM!
The explosion created by the content of the two potions reacting to each other was far more deadly and soon even the alchemist treasure hunter who threw out the two potions ended up affected by it, as he began throwing out different kinds of potions that caused the explosion to weaken as he soon put up his own barriers to defend himself from the explosion.
Chi Hu on the other hand was not so lucky, as all he could do was try to retreat as he kept putting up new barriers to block the explosion.
"Hah hah…" Finally making his way out of the explosion as things slowly began to calm down again, Chi Hu exhaustedly tried to breathe again as he felt pain throughout his entire body.
The alchemist treasure hunter was far stronger than he had expected!
Even as both of them had ended up injured due to the earlier explosion, Chi Hu knew very well that he had exhausted a large amount of qi to defend against the explosion, while his opponent only used a small amount of his qi reserves.
If things continued like this, he would end up completely exhausting all the qi in his body! And by that point, even if he could draw in qi from the surrounding environment to recover, he would still end up at the mercy of his opponent!
Whoosh!
Not wanting to end up in such a state, Chi Hu decided to go on the offensive, even if he would end up getting hit by a few of the alchemist treasure hunter's potion bottles along the way.
"You dare!" Seeing Chi Hu charging over towards him, the alchemist treasure hunter put on a disdainful look as he took out a few more potion bottles and threw them towards Chi Hu.
Dodge!
Chi Hu's mind wanted him to dodge all the incoming potion bottles, but he knew that if he did that, he would just end up at his previous situation and could only helplessly look on as his opponent could slowly exhaust his qi reserves without spending much of his own in the process.
Boom!
Psch~
So, with his mind set, Chi Hu decided to run into the few potions he knew had a less damaging effect on him. Dodging the deadly explosions created by one potion and instead charging into the freezing cloud created by another, trying to minimize the damage he took with each wave of potion bottles thrown at him. contemporary romance
"Agh! I got careless…!" Seeing Chi Hu arriving in front of him full of bloody wounds and other injuries, the alchemist treasure hunter immediately wanted to retreat, but Chi Hu was faster than him as he swung down his wooden staff!
"No, you don't!" As he swung the wooden staff, it shone brightly as Chi Hu executed one of his qi techniques to empower the staff as the alchemist treasure hunter hastily tried to set up a few barriers to block the wooden staff of Chi Hu to no avail.
Bonk!
The staff easily tore through the few flimsy barriers of the alchemist treasure hunter and directly contacted with the head of the alchemist treasure hunter.
"I…" Before he managed to say anything more, the alchemist treasure hunter felt his world go dark as he fell unconscious.
The attack earlier by Chi Hu had directly injured both his physical and Nascent Soul, forcing him to fall unconscious.
"Hah… Finally done… Hah… I will have to ask Elder Xuan… Hah… How to deal with this guy when he returns! At least we should be able to gain some useful information on some treasures…" Breathing irregularly as he tried to absorb as much of the surrounding qi between heaven and earth as possible to recover, Chi Hu exhaustedly laid down on the ground as he looked over at the unconscious alchemist treasure hunter.
He did not just kill off his opponent like Xuan Hao had and instead kept him for questioning, it had to be remembered that their opponents were treasure hunters!
Who knew how much information a treasure hunter had on them? From information regarding locations of ancient ruins, to information of the secret realm. Treasure hunters would always have an ocean of information when it came to things like this!
Even the Explorer Union who focused on exploring these kinds of places could be considered slightly inferior to treasure hunters when it came to gathering information about ancient treasures and their locations!
