The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1008 - Chapter 1008 Chapter 1007 Dugu Nian Severely Injured

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007: Dugu Nian Severely Injured Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007: Dugu Nian Severely Injured Ling Wushuang’s eyes opened, revealing a coldness, chill, and even an eerie darkness.

The smile that had just appeared on Dugu Nian’s face froze completely, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Without any words, Ling Wushuang made a forceful move, appearing in front of Dugu Nian in the blink of an eye, his curved blade slicing across Dugu Nian’s body.

“Impudence!” Ye Mengxian erupted in anger, and with a raise of his hand, he materialized a palm, reaching toward the stage to grab.

Wearing a tragic smile, blood spewed from Dugu Nian’s body, caught by Ye Mengxian’s palm and promptly taken away from the platform.

Ling Wushuang let out a cold snort, still unrelenting, and slashed with his blade again, aiming at Dugu Nian.

“How dare you!” Ye Mengxian was unable to contain his fury and, without any hesitation, pointed a finger at Ling Wushuang.

This single finger was Ye Mengxian’s full-strength attack, its formidable might astounding everyone present.

Ling Wushuang immediately swung his blade to meet the attack, his inner armor shining even more brightly.

With a loud thud, Ling Wushuang was struck down, his face devoid of color and the corners of his mouth bleeding.

Ye Mengxian didn’t strike again; instead, after grabbing Dugu Nian, he immediately examined her injuries.

Upon inspection, Ye Mengxian grew even more furious; Dugu Nian’s injury was severe. Although the blade hadn’t hit any vital spots, it had nearly sliced open her abdomen completely.

Dugu Nian’s internal organs were almost spilling out, and if not for Ye Mengxian’s immediate application of ancient medicinal herb essence, the injuries might have been even more serious.

Even so, Dugu Nian had sustained a significant energy loss and would need at least three to five months of rest for recovery.

Ye Mengxian’s anger surged, poised to strike at Ling Wushuang again, but the Pingbei King gave him a look and shook his head, saying, “It’s over now, Ye, cool down and take the little girl to be treated.”

At these words, Ye Mengxian took a deep breath, suppressing his rage for the moment and immediately brought Dugu Nian back to the Pill Alliance branch.

“How is it?” Fang Lin frowned deeply, looking at Dugu Nian’s injury.

“Her life is not in danger, but the injury is very serious,” Ye Mengxian said solemnly.

Hearing this, Fang Lin glanced at Dugu Nian’s abdomen, nodded, and didn’t follow them into the Pill Alliance branch.

Turning around, Fang Lin looked at Ling Wushuang, who stood on the platform with the posture of a victor, his eyes especially dark and gloomy.

Bang!

With a step, the ground under Fang Lin’s feet cracked, and an immense aura suddenly burst forth, scaring the surrounding crowd into retreating.

“Ling Wushuang, you’re seeking death!!” Fang Lin roared, his voice shaking Sea Moon City, and boundless rage resonated within the roar.

Ling Wushuang sneered, “This is just the beginning. You will fall under my blade just like her.”

Many people looked toward Fang Lin, some with disdain, some with a sigh, and others filled with anticipation.

The influential figures on the VIP platform also looked at Fang Lin, each with a different expression.

But no matter what, the outcome of this contest had been determined; Ling Wushuang had defeated Dugu Nian.

Although the latter had lost, the strength she exhibited was still dazzling, and no one would think Dugu Nian was weak. After all, her opponent was Ling Wushuang, who was simply too strong.

Ling Wushuang left the platform, and Fang Lin turned and entered the Pill Alliance branch, where he saw the now-awake Dugu Nian.

“Does it hurt?” Fang Lin asked expressionlessly.

Dugu Nian’s face was bloodless, and upon hearing that, she only hummed softly.

Fang Lin’s face was terribly somber, yet he did not lash out at Dugu Nian, gently stroking her hair instead.

“I will kill Ling Wusuhang to take revenge for you,” Fang Lin said.

Ye Mengxian glanced at Fang Lin, with a look of relief in her eyes.

Dugu Nian’s injury was not critical; using the essence of ancient medicinal herbs to treat the wound, there should be no problems, and after healing, there would be no scars left.

However, for the next three to five months, she needed to rest well and could no longer use her inner strength or engage in pill refining.

Meanwhile, the incident where Ling Wushuang seriously injured Dugu Nian also caused some commotion within the city.

“Ling Wushuang was a bit too ruthless, when he clearly could have defeated Dugu Nian in other ways, but chose to use that life-threatening knife.”

“Indeed, it was excessive, and it’s not surprising that her master, Ye Mengxian, is so angry.”

“Heh, it’s normal to hit too hard in a competition, is that really something to make a fuss over?”

“That’s right. Dugu Nian wasn’t really killed, just injured. Ling Wushuang can’t be blamed for that.”

…

“Are you sure that was appropriate? That Dugu Nian is Ye Mengxian’s disciple.” The Ling Family Elder said to Ling Wushuang, with a worried look on his face.

Ling Wushuang, however, was unconcerned and scoffed, “It was just a normal competition. Firstly, I did not kill Dugu Nian, and secondly, I didn’t ruin her foundation. It was just a bit of a severe injury, what of it? Is she going to attack me because of this?”

The Ling Family Elder said, “Ye Mengxian acts very arrogantly, and she will not let this matter slide. Even if she doesn’t attack you, she might target the Ling Family and vent her anger on us.”

Ling Wushuang sneered, “Let her come if she dares. I can’t be bothered with those matters, and if I encounter Fang Lin in the future, I’ll hit even harder.”

The Ling Family Elder furrowed his brow even deeper and seemed to want to say more, but upon seeing Ling Wushuang’s expression, he closed his mouth.

The Talent Tournament continued, with the first day of competition over, the most thrilling event was still the showdown between Ling Wushuang and Dugu Nian.

The second day proceeded, Jian Qingshan appeared and defeated a talent from the Qing Nation.

On the third day, Princess Yun Lan took the stage, easily defeating an obscure talent from the Middle Three Kingdoms.

There were no particularly exciting matches on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, a previously unknown youth showed amazing strength, defeating a disciple from a major sect in the Tang Country whose realm was higher.

This was the first upset since the beginning of the Sea Moon City Talent Tournament.

However, no one paid him much attention, as the strength he demonstrated was still not enough to put him on par with the likes of Jian Qingshan or Shen Fan.

On the sixth day, Prince Yin Xinghe faced his challenger, who did not concede and sparred with him for a while, only to be swept out of the arena by Yin Xinghe.

Although Yin Xinghe did not win without a fight this time, his opponent’s strength clearly wasn’t enough to make Yin Xinghe take the match seriously, so it was not particularly thrilling or intense.

Also, on the sixth day, Fang Lin faced his opponent.

Fang Lin’s opponent hailed from one of the four great sects of the Qing Nation, Heaven Cauldron Sect, and was a rare Physical Martial Artist.

Fang Lin, harboring anger in his heart, though his opponent had not provoked him, dispatched him from the stage with three punches and two kicks, easily securing victory.

In the subsequent Talent Tournament, Fang Lin consecutively defeated three more opponents but still did not encounter anyone who posed a real challenge to him.
