The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

At the moment, both Fang Lin and Elder Su were amidst the forest. A dangerous aura permeated the area, and both of them immediately sensed something was amiss.

The surroundings were too quiet. Even the chirping of insects and song of birds was absent, an abnormal occurrence for such a dense forest.

Elder Su’s face was solemn. His aged demeanor had disappeared, replaced by an intense ferocity.

“Whoever is hiding here, come out!” Elder Su roared, his gaze fixed in a particular direction where faint traces of fluctuating aura were coming from.

Fang Lin also looked serious. Without saying a word, he immediately gripped a large bone club in his hand and put on a dark black battle armor.

This dark black armor was taken from Zhao Shenkong’s Nine Palace Bag, it served as an excellent defensive artifact.

Just then, a chilling light approached from behind with a cunning angle, targeting the back of Fang Lin’s head.

Fang Lin felt a chill running down his spine as he swiftly dodged. Elder Su too reacted instantly, repelling the sudden attack of the flying dagger with a palm strike, shattering it.

Shadowy figures sprang out from all directions, encapsulating Elder Su and Fang Lin.

“Hidden Kill Hall!” Elder Su gritted his teeth, recognizing the identities of the men in black.

Fang Lin felt a chill down his spine. He never expected Hidden Kill Hall to set an ambush here.

“Kill!” Without uttering a single word, eighteen black-clad men attacked at once, targeting not Fang Lin but Elder Su.

“Seeking death!” Elder Su roared as the aura of a Heavenly Origin expert exploded out from him. With a swing of his large hands, he forced the eighteen men to retreat.

However, Elder Su had no intention to stay and fight. He grabbed Fang Lin and instantly soared into the sky.

Elder Su was well aware that the Hidden Kill Hall ambush was driven by confidence in their ability. Their true powerful assets had yet to reveal themselves. If they didn’t move quickly, they might not get another chance.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Undoubtedly, two figures instantly shot up from below, surprisingly they were also Heavenly Origin experts.

Elder Su cursed silently, increasing his speed to escape with Fang Lin.

Whoosh!

Just then, a wide-reaching black net appeared, blocking Elder Su’s path. The net was oozing with deadly black smoke, implying it was tainted with deadly poison.

Without hesitation, Elder Su returned to the ground, continuing the escape with Fang Lin.

“Fang Lin, quickly contact Zhuge Cang. Ask him to bring help.” As they were escaping, Elder Su instructed Fang Lin.

Fang Lin hastily took out the Jade Slip given to him by Zhuge Cang, only to find it without any response.

“This is not good. There’s an array covering the area. We cannot communicate with the outside world,” Fang Lin remarked.

Hearing this, Elder Su’s face darkened even more. Trouble was brewing. The Hidden Kill Hall had launched a fierce attack, never making a move without assuring victory. Elder Su and Fang Lin were in dire straits.

The two black-clad men chasing from behind didn’t lose their pace. The two of them already posed enough of a threat. Who knew how many more Hidden Kill Hall experts were hidden within the forest.

“Don’t leave!”

In front, the third Heavenly Origin expert made his move. Without a word, he threw a punch.

Furious, Elder Su struck out with his palm to meet the incoming attack.

Bang!

The terrible shockwave spread out. Elder Su didn’t flinch, while the attacker stumbled backwards, his exposed eyes showing a hint of surprise.

However, this slowed Elder Su and Fang Lin, keeping them from continuing their escape. The two Heavenly Origin experts had already caught up, surrounding them.

Fang Lin was flustered. Three Heavenly Origin experts, this spelled doom. It seemed he had no chance of escaping this calamity.

“Fang Lin, long time no see. Do you remember me?” An eerily female voice echoed.

A woman, clad in green, leisurely walked towards them. Her face was veiled but she had a tall stature. A pair of hateful eyes glared at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin met her gaze, pondered a moment, furrowed his brows and asked, “Do I know you?”

The woman in green was infuriated. She quickly removed her veil.

Upon seeing her face, Fang Lin instantly remembered who she was. Wasn’t this the woman who tried to seize the White Elephant Trampling Mountain from him?

“So it’s you!” A cold smile surfaced on Fang Lin’s face. His enmity with the Hidden Kill Hall was indeed because of this woman.

Indifferent, the woman put the veil back on, “You’re certain to die today. This is your punishment for taking what belonged to me.”

Fang Lin mocked, “If you’re capable, let’s have a fair fight, one-on-one. What’s so great about bringing in help?”

The woman in green sneered back, “A person like you doesn’t require a Heavenly Origin expert to defeat you, I alone am enough.”

Promptly, three Heavenly Origin experts attacked Elder Su together. Even the powerful Elder Su was struggling to cope with the three-on-one situation, unable to provide any aid to Fang Lin.

The woman in green drew her longsword. With one leap, she aimed a ferocious strike at Fang Lin’s throat.

Fang Lin snorted and swung his large bone club to counterattack.

Ding!

The woman in green didn’t move an inch, nor did Fang Lin step back. Both wore astonished expressions, silently acknowledging underestimating one another.

Their battle continued. Behind the woman in green, the phantom image of a green lion appeared. Its ferocious roar enhanced her aura and made her sword attacks even more fierce.

Fang Lin’s eyes narrowed. Suddenly, behind him, an enormous white elephant took shape. The elephant stomped its massive legs towards the woman in green with a sky-rending roar.

Green lion and White elephant!

These techniques once belonged together. Yet now, they had become their own divine powers used against each other in battle.

The green lion gave a furious roar while the white elephant responded with a bellow. The collision of these two forces shattered the surrounding trees, exhibiting their astonishing strength.

The competition between Fang Lin and the woman in green was intense, neither of them gaining an advantage. Both were at the Ninth Layer of Earth Element, their abilities evenly matched.

“Is this your extent of abilities? Disappointing.” The woman in green suddenly changed her sword move.

Hum!

Fang Lin’s pupils contracted. She appeared behind him as if she had swapped places in an instant.

Caught off guard, Fang Lin used his Nine Heavens Step Skill instantly. Sparks flew as her sword scratched his battle armor, leaving a streak.

Fang Lin swiftly retreated, his forehead covered in cold sweat. The woman in green was indeed formidable. If not for the reliable armor, he would have incurred an injury from that strike.

“It was just one sword strike. I wonder how many you can dodge?” The woman in green sneered, her longsword vanishing only to stab from an extremely tricky angle once again.
