Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Battle, Evil Alchemist

Why has the sky turned dark all of a sudden?

Ye Lingyue halted her steps.

When the spiritual power test ended, it was just before noon. The sun was in its prime, and it had only been a quarter of an hour since she left the Alchemist Association, yet the sky had turned pitch black, as if night had fallen all at once.

Not only that, but Ye Lingyue had never walked this street before.

The trees planted around were all bare, their leaves gone as though winter had come in an instant.

Hungry Corpse Vulture Birds perched on the branches, their blood-red eyes in the dark night like countless red ghost fires, eerily ominous.

Even more bizarre, there was a blood-red moon in the sky.

"Hehe, you damn little wench, you dared to steal the champion title from me. This time, I will make you wish for life in vain and for death just as futilely."

Suddenly!

A waft of bluish smoke rose from the ground, and Master Lian appeared in grey robes three feet away from Ye Lingyue.

Around him floated several bizarre Flying Daggers, identical to the spiritual power Flying Dagger that Ye Lingyue had picked up earlier.

"It’s you, you’re not from the Alchemist Association, who are you exactly?" Ye Lingyue’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she stared intently at Master Lian.

The surroundings felt awry, with the trees and houses on either side distorted, appearing like illusions.

"What is the Li City Alchemist Association to me? Open your eyes wide and see who I am." With a swoosh, Master Lian tore off the clothes on his body, revealing a Blood Robe under his grey robe, somewhat similar to the Alchemist Robe of the Alchemist Association.

But on the lapel of the Blood Robe were embroidered four Blood Cauldron marks.

"I am Lian Bi, a devotee of the Central Plains Taishang Immortal Sect. It really is infuriating that I was deceived by you, a nasty little girl. You actually are a Third Rank Alchemist," Master Lian’s waxen face revealed a sinister smile.

He had been ordered by his master to infiltrate the Li City Alchemist Association as a spy, but he encountered his nemesis along the way and got injured, so he had to hide in Qiufeng Town to heal.

Lian Bi had previously coveted Ye Lingyue’s beauty and did not realize that she too was an Alchemist who cultivated spiritual power.

"So, it was also you who stopped me during the Ye Family’s birthday feast that day, hindering me time and again. This time, I’ll cripple you first, then enjoy your body thoroughly," Lian Bi lifted his right hand, his sickly skin under the blood moon casting a red glow.

A stream of blood-red spiritual power flowed from his body, and several Flying Daggers buzzed as if commanded.

Keng————

A piercing sharp sound rang out, as the knife light approached like a tide of blood.

Just then, Ye Lingyue threw her punches, with several bursts of Thunderflash. Primordial Qi formed into Thunderflash struck the Flying Daggers.

The several Flying Daggers were repelled by the Primordial Power, retreating several yards back.

"Body Refinement Eighth Layer Realm, it seems the news from Mountain and Sea Gang and Song Guangyi was all wrong. But even at the Body Refinement Eighth Layer Realm, you’ll only meet your end before me." Suddenly, Lian Bi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which turned into several Blood Arrows, merging into the Flying Daggers.

Upon contact with blood, the Flying Daggers vibrated violently, growing countless tiny blood vessels like wildfire.

When the blood vessels emerged, the previously Thunderclap Fist-retreated Blood Daggers regained momentum, and the three Flying Daggers accelerated in the air, the air itself twisting apart.

Swish swish swish—clang—

Three streaks of golden light, accompanied by a chill gleam, emerged beside Ye Lingyue and collided with the three Flying Daggers.

Hiss, the three Blood Pattern Flying Daggers were pierced by the Dragon Saliva Needles, and tiny holes instantly appeared on the bodies of the daggers.

The moment the Flying Daggers were pierced, Lian Bi’s expression darkened.

Those Blood Pattern Flying Daggers were the product of an evil technique from the Taishang Immortal Sect, forged by an Evil Alchemist who had to feed them with their own flesh and blood at irregular intervals. Once the Flying Daggers consumed flesh and blood, their power was no small matter, but if the daggers were damaged, the owner would feel as if they were wounded themselves.

Three Dragon Saliva Needles hovered quietly next to Ye Lingyue.

Lian Bi’s pupils shrank, unable to believe that this little wretch actually possessed treasures like the Dragon Saliva Needles.

Realizing this, a flame of greed burned in Lian Bi’s eyes.

"Heh heh, what a pity, such a delicate and lovely beauty, yet this master cannot enjoy you. But rest assured, your sweet and tasty flesh will certainly add power to my Siamese Ghost Smoke," Lian Bi sneered sinisterly.

His body once again transformed into a billowing green smoke of immense presence. The green smoke moved too quickly for even the Dragon Saliva Needles to penetrate, turning into a dark cloud in an instant and pressing down on Ye Lingyue.

This green smoke was extraordinary. As soon as it neared Ye Lingyue, she felt as if she were falling into a Ten Thousand Abyss, chilled to the bone, as if her whole body was about to be devoured.

Ordinary people, upon just a touch of this Evil Qi-filled smoke, would be eroded away, but Ye Lingyue was different. She had consumed Red Sun Ginseng, and the Yang Gang Qi within her body was strong.

The Qian Cauldron in Ye Lingyue’s palm seemed to have found some delicious food, shivered slightly, and sucked in the green smoke that Lian Bi had transformed into.

"No!" Lian Bi didn’t have time to grasp what was happening.

Ye Lingyue reached out with her five fingers, her right hand now possessed a strong suction force. With an irrefutable power, her Flower Pinching Jade Shattering Hand struck Lian Bi’s vital area, followed by three Dragon Saliva Needles piercing into Lian Bi’s top of the skull.

Lian Bi’s eyes were wide open in deathly stare, his body slid to the ground, lifeless.

Ye Lingyue gasped for air and sat down on the ground.

In the moment when the green smoke was absorbed by the Qian Cauldron, the surrounding street scene disappeared. Ye Lingyue found herself leaning against the wall in a secluded alleyway.

It seems that the street scene illusion was all transformed by that Alchemist’s green smoke.

Siamese Ghost Smoke?

Ye Lingyue remembered that was what Lian Bi called it.

It seems it was a special weapon belonging to a Cult, if not for Ye Lingyue, who held the Qian Cauldron, even several Third Rank Alchemists would have been killed by that green smoke.

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Ye Lingyue first searched Lian Bi’s body and found a small bundle on him.

Looking inside, besides two or three silver notes, there was also a Blood Skull Token and a worn Jade Carving.

The Jade Carving recorded the method to refine Siamese Ghost Smoke.

Though the Siamese Ghost Smoke had boundless uses, it was, after all, an object of Evil Alchemists. If used carelessly, it could easily lead to misunderstandings with the Daxia Alchemist Association, and it needed to be cleansed of its Yin Sha Qi before it could be used.

"It’s only a pity that the purpose of Taishang Immortal Sect infiltrating Li City was not ascertained," Ye Lingyue frowned as she glanced at the ground where Lian Bi’s three Blood Pattern Daggers were still scattered.

Ye Lingyue collected these items and then wearily headed towards the Ye Residence. She planned, after recovering her Primordial Power, to find a way to refine both the Siamese Ghost Smoke and those daggers.
