Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 56 - 56 56 Sky City

56: Chapter 56 Sky City 56: Chapter 56 Sky City “It’s just ahead, I have already sensed the presence of the Strange Fire.”

Two days later, Long Yan and Ah Man had already reached the depths of Snow Mountain.

Along the way, they had also acquired some precious medicinal materials, and Ah Man had even gotten a rare Ice and Snow Linglong Fruit.

Of course, their journey was rife with danger.

At this moment, the two of them were standing atop a snow peak.

Long Yan’s gaze was directed towards the distance.

He had already faintly sensed the presence of the Strange Fire not too far ahead.

“Hmm, what’s that?”

Suddenly, Long Yan’s attention was drawn to the sky above the Snow Mountain.

Within the clouds at the distant horizon, there seemed to be a Sky City, hanging surreal in the air yet solidly existing, like a dreamlike illusion.

It was soon engulfed within the clouds within the blink of an eye.

“Did I imagine it?

Regardless, it’s more crucial to find the Strange Fire.”

Long Yan shook his head; he believed that what he saw – the Sky City – was definitely not an illusion.

Once one’s strength reaches a certain level, they won’t easily conjure illusions.

Having confirmed the direction of the Strange Fire, Long Yan and Ah Man set off once more.

It only took them four hours to locate the place where the Strange Fire was.

“It’s here.”

This place was deep within the icy mountains.

A thirty-meter-tall Ice Tower merged with the glaciers, a chilling terror seeping out from its silver-white form.

Along with it, a mysterious aura concealed within – the presence of the Strange Fire.

The entrance to the Ice Tower was slightly ajar.

The Strange Fire was inside the Ice Tower, and Long Yan was somewhat excited.

However, he was not in a rush to break into the Ice Tower.

His powerful senses had detected a demonic beast of the Earth-Level Ninth Grade lurking within the Ice Tower.

Even with Ah Man’s assistance, they were definitely not a match for that beast.

“I’ll distract the beast for you so you can subdue the Strange Fire.”

Ah Man suggested.

“No need, someone is coming.”

Long Yan slightly shook his head.

If Ah Man were to lure the beast, the chances of disaster were far greater than success.

He wouldn’t let Ah Man take that risk.

Furthermore, someone was already rushing their way.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Before long, the sound of the wind breaking filled the air as four figures appeared almost simultaneously outside the Ice Tower.

Long Yan recognised three of them – Master Luo Xue, Su Xiaodie, and Xiao Bei.

The fourth one was also a young man, who though not tall, had a stout and brawny build.

Dressed in a black leather vest revealing knotted muscles, draped across his shoulders was a two-meter-long Big Knife.

Without a doubt, it was a Yellow Rank Spirit Tool.

His cultivation base had reached the Earth Martial Seventh Level, proving to be stronger than Master Luo Xue and the others.

“This person must be Wei Wushuang, placed fourth on the Dragon-Tiger List.

He does indeed have some strength.”

Even though Long Yan had never seen Wei Wushuang before, he guessed Wei Wushuang’s identity.

“Long Yan, you’re still alive?”

As soon as the four saw him, their gazes locked onto Long Yan.

Especially Master Luo Xue, who had a trace of murderous intent gleaming in his eyes.

“Of course, I’m alive.

Even if you die, I wouldn’t.”

Long Yan laughed lightly.

“Talk is cheap.

Let’s see where you run to this time.

Die!”

With a surge in his momentum, Master Luo Xue swung a palm at Long Yan.

Seeing this, both Su Xiaodie and Xiao Bei sneered, wishing nothing more than for Master Luo Xue to kill Long Yan.

“Bang!”

Just as Ah Man was about to join the fight, Wei Wushuang was the first to act.

With a gripping motion, he instantly shattered Master Luo Xue’s palm prints.

“Wei Wushuang, dare you obstruct me?”

Master Luo Xue’s icy gaze landed on Wei Wushuang, his tone carried obvious displeasure at Wei Wushuang’s move.

“They managed to find this place before us, proving they have some capability.

At present, the most crucial thing is to slay the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast and suppress the Snow Fairy.”

Wei Wushuang spoke in a matter-of-fact manner, exuding an air of dominance, allowing no defiance.

“Humph, I’ll let you hang on a little bit longer, young master.”

Master Luo Xue glanced at Long Yan coldly, and then withdrew his aura.

Long Yan remained silent, but his eyes seemed to say: I can’t be bothered to talk to you.

“The Snow Fairy and the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast are in this Ice Tower, let’s draw them out first.”

At this moment, all four of their gazes fell on the Ice Tower, their expressions serious, yet their eyes gleamed with excitement deep within.

They had found the Snow Fairy a day ago, but with the Earth-level Ninth Grade Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast around her, they tried a few tricks, yet still couldn’t kill the beast.

The Snow Fairy fled with the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast.

“I’ll do it.”

Xiao Bei walked up, positioned himself five meters away from the Ice Tower, clenched his fist abruptly and threw a punch forward.

“Boom!”

The Earth Martial Level Six force hit the gate of the Ice Tower, causing a loud rumbling noise.

The Ice Tower remained unmoved except for the slowly opening gate.

“Damn humans, you dare to come seeking death again!”

The roar came from within the Ice Tower as the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast pounced out and glared viciously at everyone.

“A Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast, it’s much more powerful than a Xuanming Beast.”

A smirk formed on the corner of Long Yan’s mouth, and he gestured Ah Man to step back.

An Earth-level Ninth Grade Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast is much stronger than a normal Earth-level Nine Grade Beast.

Even a Xuanming Beast of the same level is somewhat inferior in strength.

Without special methods, Wei Wushuang and his group would be no match for the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast.

“Is that the Snow Fairy?”

At this point, Long Yan noticed the Snow Fairy on the back of the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast.

The Snow Fairy looked like a little child, standing only one meter tall.

Its feet were wide, its arms almost as long as its body, and its ears were pointed.

It had no eyes, but upon closer inspection, there was a faint mark in the center of its brow.

“What kind of creature is this?”

Long Yan was somewhat taken aback.

Despite his knowledge of even ancient races that had long disappeared into the annals of history, he could not figure out the origins of the Snow Fairy.

The Snow Fairy did bear some resemblance to the legendary elves, but it was definitely not an elf.

“Long Yan, are you two planning to enjoy the benefits?”

The intentions of Long Yan and Ah Man were clear to Wei Wushuang’s group, and Su Xiaodie spoke out in frustration.

“We have no interest in the Snow Fairy, so we won’t get involved.”

Long Yan seemed indifferent.

Claiming to have no interest in the Snow Fairy was a lie, but his main goal was the Strange Fire.

As for the Snow Fairy, it would be nice to possess it, but if he didn’t, he wouldn’t feel regret.

“Wei Wushuang, is this what you wanted?”

Master Luo Xue spoke to Wei Wushuang with a cold sneer.

“Let’s deal with the Three-Tailed Ice Crystal Beast first.”

Wei Wushuang’s expression darkened, but he knew it wasn’t the time to deal with Long Yan and Ah Man.

The four of them exchanged looks, reaching a seemingly pre-arranged consensus, and simultaneously took a blood-red elixir.

“Blood Burst Pill!”

Long Yan was also surprised.

The elixir that the four of them had ingested was indeed the Blood Burst Pill.

It wasn’t a top-grade one, but it could still significantly enhance one’s strength in a short period, though it would only last for a quarter of an hour.

The lower the quality of the Blood Burst Pill, the stronger the backlash would be.

In a flash, the strength of the four of them multiplied several times.

Wei Wushuang reached the power of the Earth Martial Ninth Realm directly, Master Luo Xue and Xiao Bei were somewhere between the Earth Martial Eighth Layer and the Earth Martial Ninth Realm, while Su Xiaodie was slightly weaker, reaching the power of Earth Martial Eighth Layer.

“Let’s do this!”

The Blood Burst Pills could only last for a quarter of an hour, so they needed to act quickly.

What’s more, Long Yan and Ah Man were eagerly watching from the sidelines.
