The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1023 - Chapter 1023 Chapter 1022 The Girl Makes a Move

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1022: The Girl Makes a Move Chapter 1023: Chapter 1022: The Girl Makes a Move “You’ve lost,” Shen Fan said indifferently, his one arm holding that peculiar inkstone.

Huangfu Yunchuan’s expression was ugly. He hadn’t expected to lose, and to lose so thoroughly at that, not only was his life in his opponent’s hands, but even his precious possession had fallen into the hands of the other.

This situation was almost exactly like what had just happened to Ying Xinghe.

What goes around, comes around, and retribution had come in the blink of an eye.

“Good! A beautiful victory!”

“So satisfying!”

“Let’s see if this guy can still be arrogant now?”

“The people of the Seven Seas, nothing special after all!”

…

Inside Sea Moon City, everyone started cheering, all praising Shen Fan and also mocking Huangfu Yunchuan, who had been captured by Shen Fan.

Without saying a word, Huangfu Yunchuan clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.

“Young friend, let him go,” Wang Qingsong spoke up, his expression also not looking great.

As soon as Shen Fan had made his move, Wang Qingsong knew it would be difficult for Huangfu Yunchuan to defeat this opponent, but he hadn’t expected him to lose so quickly.

However, a loss was a loss, there was nothing to say; the opponent was indeed too strong.

Shen Fan glanced at Wang Qingsong, loosened his sleeve, and let go of Huangfu Yunchuan.

Huangfu Yunchuan’s face was somewhat pale, with strangulation marks on his neck, having truly experienced his first crushing defeat since gaining his strength.

“Return my treasure,” Huangfu Yunchuan said through gritted teeth.

Shen Fan completely ignored Huangfu Yunchuan and, right in front of him, brazenly put the inkstone into his own bag.

This scene made Huangfu Yunchuan’s mouth twitch and also caused Ying Xinghe to have a strange expression. His weapon, a halberd, had been taken away by Huangfu Yunchuan in just such a manner.

Once he had taken it, Shen Fan had returned here to Sea Moon City without saying anything further, with absolutely no intention of returning it.

Huangfu Yunchuan was now quite embarrassed.

Though he had also obtained Ying Xinghe’s halberd, it was a useless item to him as Confucian martial artists are not adept at using such large and unrefined weapons; on the other hand, the inkstone was a precious artifact from the Sea Saint Institute which Huangfu Yunchuan had only recently acquired but had now fallen into someone else’s hands–a compromise he could not settle for.

“Return the treasure to me, and I will return the halberd to you,” Huangfu Yunchuan said, obviously reluctantly, making a concession.

Ying Xinghe looked at Shen Fan, naturally hoping that Shen Fan would trade the inkstone to get his halberd back.

Unfortunately, Shen Fan showed no reaction, fixated on his own mediation as if he had heard nothing.

Huangfu Yunchuan snorted coldly: “Even if you have obtained that inkstone, it’s useless to you. Return it to me, and I’ll cease my pursuit.”

Finally, Shen Fan spoke, “I’ve recently developed an interest in calligraphy; this inkstone is quite nice.”

Upon hearing Shen Fan’s words, those around him were stunned; some nearly laughed out loud.

Shen Fan saying this so seriously could infuriate someone to death.

Huangfu Yunchuan was furious; he didn’t buy the nonsense about any interest in calligraphy at all.

“Young friend, please return the treasure. How about we both step back?” Wang Qingsong also spoke, asking for the inkstone on behalf of Huangfu Yunchuan.

Pingbei King snorted coldly, “Now you know how it feels? Earlier, when I asked you to return the spear, why didn’t you?”

Huangfu Yunchuan and Wang Qingsong both felt their faces burning, truly not expecting retribution to come this quickly. The embarrassment of being confronted on the spot was indeed hard to bear.

“Shen Fan, I earnestly request you to exchange Prince Yin Xinghe’s weapon, the royal family will surely be greatly thankful to you,” a royal expert said to Shen Fan.

Shen Fan’s expression was cold, “I do not need your Qing Nation royal family’s gratitude. This inkstone is my trophy, and how I dispose of it is my decision.”

This statement was effectively a refusal.

Several royal experts had unpleasant expressions, as Shen Fan had decisively refused to give the royal family face.

Ying Xinghe huffed, remaining silent. With his personality, he was even less likely to plead with Shen Fan for anything.

Just then, the young girl stood up, and the little bell at her waist jingled crisply.

“Oh dear, step aside, Huangfu boy. Let me handle these talents from the Nine Countries. It’s just treasures, isn’t it? I’ll fetch you ten or eight,” the girl said casually, making it seem like snatching treasures from the talents of the Nine Countries was a simple task.

Even Huangfu Yunchuan, as haughty as he was, showed a color of reverence towards the girl and did not dare to defy her. He immediately returned to his scroll and stood behind Wang Qingsong.

Wang Qingsong looked at the girl and frowned, “Are you really going to make a move?”

The girl nodded, “Of course, I am. How could I miss such fun activity, especially when I’ve finally come out?”

Wang Qingsong wanted to say more, but seeing that the girl was very determined, he remained silent.

Although the girl appeared young, her strength surpassed Huangfu Yunchuan’s. Wang Qingsong was very confident in her, believing that throughout the lands of the Nine Countries, there might not be many young Martial Artists who could match her.

Perhaps, there was no one at all.

With a light tap of her foot, the girl flew off the scroll, her gaze first landing on Shen Fan.

“Come on, you’re not bad, you’re worth me making a move,” she said, directly challenging Shen Fan to a fight.

Shen Fan naturally was not afraid and once again prepared for combat.

“Your sword is fast, your movement technique is also fast, but I am faster than you,” the girl seriously commented.

However, the people of Sea Moon City felt she was just bragging. Shen Fan’s swordsmanship and movement technique were already extremely formidable–how could she be faster?

Shen Fan naturally did not believe it either. With a swift unsheathing of his sword and a movement as swift as the blade, he moved behind the girl in an instant.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, as though the girl had been prepared, she turned around with a punch at a very tricky timing and angle.

This punch landed on Shen Fan’s sword, and a great force immediately traveled through it, causing Shen Fan to stagger backwards with his left arm trembling slightly.

Shen Fan’s expression changed slightly, the girl’s strength was indeed unexpectedly fast and moreover, her power seemed exceptionally astonishing.

“See, you’re not fast enough in my eyes, I am faster,” the girl said, spreading her hands with a resigned expression.

Shen Fan frowned, remaining silent and drawing his sword again, moving even faster, almost to the degree that the naked eye couldn’t keep up.

But the girl still reacted easily, not utilizing any spectacular techniques, merely using her fists and palms to suppress Shen Fan.

Shen Fan was extremely shocked. He was already so fast, yet the girl still managed to keep up.

“Don’t believe it? Then let me show you my speed,” the girl said as she struck.

Suddenly, Shen Fan’s expression changed drastically, and not just him, but everyone in Sea Moon City, including talents like Jian Qingshan, Fang Lin, and experts like Pingbei King, all had their expressions change.
