The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1154 - Chapter 1154 Chapter 1153 The Array Collapses

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153: The Array Collapses Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153: The Array Collapses “He’s indeed still alive!” It wasn’t until this moment that Mr. Long Jiu truly confirmed that the Dragon Family Demon, residing beneath Fall Demon Cliff, was indeed still alive.

Although Mr. Long Jiu had anticipated that the Dragon Family Demon was still around, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that the Dragon Family Demon had perished, and the anomalies at the Fall Demon Cliff were due to other reasons.

But now it seemed the Dragon Family Demon was not dead, and if it managed to break free, the disaster that had struck all Alchemy Tao families a thousand years ago might once again descend upon them.

Mr. Long Jiu couldn’t help but look towards Fang Lin, as he was in the most critical situation at the moment.

If Fang Lin couldn’t hold on any longer, the Array Plates would become ineffective, and the array wouldn’t be able to be completed, then there would be nothing to restrain the Dragon Family Demon.

“Fang Lin, just hold on a bit longer, Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao will be here soon to lend you a hand,” Elder Tianhong said to Fang Lin.

The Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao he referred to were the man in black and woman in white; they were currently at a distance, exterminating the forces of Hidden Kill Hall. As soon as they could extricate themselves, they would immediately sense the urgency here and come to assist Fang Lin in maintaining the Array Plates.

Hearing this, Fang Lin could only grunt in acknowledgment and stuffed another handful of Pills into his mouth.

Another strike, even more demonic in power, hit the array’s glowing barrier without obstruction, and Fang Lin was injured once more, his Kylin armor seemed slightly dimmer, and fresh blood continued to spurt from his mouth.

Fortunately, the presence of the Kylin armor allowed Fang Lin to hold on; otherwise, the power of those two strikes alone would have been enough to leave Fang Lin severely wounded, on the brink of death.

There was still the time of an incense stick until the completion of the array’s construction. Although people were about to come to his aid and share the pressure, Fang Lin didn’t know if he could hold on.

In the distance, Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao fought together against the leading powerhouse of Hidden Kill Hall, the battle turning out to be unexpectedly tense.

The leading force of the Hidden Kill Hall proved to be exceptionally powerful, and even with Cheng Chong and Mo Junyao working together, they found it difficult to defeat him in a short time.

“We must resolve this quickly! Otherwise, something might go wrong at Fall Demon Cliff!” Mo Junyao thought to herself, casting a glance at Cheng Chong.

The latter understood, and as they had been cooperating for many years and had developed a tacit understanding, at this moment, they jointly executed their most powerful moves, aiming to defeat their opponent in the shortest time possible.

While the battle continued here, above Fall Demon Cliff, the array being constructed by the Four Array Plates was also being perfected. Although the array’s light shield was hit repeatedly, it was only the power of the array that had been depleted — the array itself had not been destroyed.

But under the current circumstances, if any one of the Array Plates were to lose the maintenance of its power, the array would become unbalanced, leading to a complete collapse, and all their efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, Fang Lin became the point of greatest concern for everyone. If Fang Lin couldn’t hold on any longer, then the array would collapse, and the Dragon Family Demon would emerge, likely leaving no one at the scene able to escape.

Fang Lin was also well aware of his significance at the moment, and while lamenting in his heart, he communicated with the Old Dried Corpse.

“Kid, I can only help you to fend off the attack from that guy below. You have to rely on yourself to maintain the Array Plates,” the Old Dried Corpse said.

“Understood!” Fang Lin answered in his heart. Although it was tough for him to maintain the array alone, with enough Pills on his person, persevering for the time of an incense stick wasn’t a problem.

What Fang Lin feared the most was the attacks from the Dragon Family Demon below. Each strike against the array caused him great harm, and if it happened a couple more times, even the protection of the Kylin armor wouldn’t be enough to withstand it.

Although the Old Dried Corpse was powerful, it only possessed Demon Qi, without any Inner Strength, and thus couldn’t activate the Array Plates.

Of course, for Fang Lin, as long as the Old Dried Corpse could shield him from the fatal attacks of the Dragon Family Demon, that was enough.

The black longsword struck again, bringing along another wave of assault, with Demonic Qi mingling with the Sword Qi, causing the array’s light barrier to dim to an extreme.

Everyone felt the impact, even Elder Tianhong and Mr. Long Jiu tasted blood in their throats, spitting it out.

The six Spirit Source experts fared even worse, their energy flagging, bodies trembling, only after taking Pills were they barely able to continue supporting themselves.

However, Fang Lin was unexpectedly calm, as if he were unharmed, still keeping the Array Plate steady as ever.

Seeing this, Mr. Long Jiu and Elder Tianhong felt surprised but even more delighted, believing that if Fang Lin could keep this up, there would likely be no significant issues in completing the Formation.

Fang Lin was unscathed, naturally because the Old Dried Corpse had resisted the assault, considerably reducing Fang Lin’s pressure, now he only needed to focus on maintaining the Array Plate.

But, the Dragon Family Demon below seemed to realize that if it missed this opportunity, escaping would become incredibly difficult thereafter.

An assault far surpassing the previous ones suddenly burst forth, countless black tentacles surging crazily, along with the longsword sweeping through, bombarding the array all at once.

At that moment, the array’s light barrier collapsed.

“This is bad!” Mr. Long Jiu’s mouth bled as he let out a loud shout.

Although the array’s light barrier had collapsed, the array itself was not destroyed, and another barrier emerged, enshrouding Fall Demon Cliff once more.

But by now, the six Spirit Source experts were severely injured, some barely able to hold on, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Mr. Long Jiu and Elder Tianhong were also seriously wounded, but due to their higher Cultivation, they could still support a while longer.

Fang Lin was under the protection of the Old Dried Corpse, unharmed, but the current problem was no longer with him; it lay with those six Spirit Source experts.

If those experts could not persist, the array could similarly not be completed.

The six Spirit Source experts felt extremely unreconciled, thinking even Fang Lin, a mere Spirit Bone Martial Artist, could hold on for so long. Their Cultivation was so much higher than Fang Lin’s, and they were six working together, yet they couldn’t match Fang Lin alone?

If this were to spread, where would they put their faces? It would be utterly humiliating.

Therefore, the six Spirit Source experts were also holding their breath, willing to risk their lives just to endure, at the very least, they couldn’t be surpassed by Fang Lin.

The time of one incense stick’s burning was not long but not short either, yet at this moment, it felt excruciatingly long to those maintaining the array.

As time trickled by, hope was close at hand, just a moment more of endurance, and the array would be complete. Then, even if the Dragon Family Demon was extremely powerful, it would take decades for it to break free.

“Almost there, just a bit more, and the array will be complete,” Mr. Long Jiu muttered to himself, pale-faced.

Suddenly, from beneath Fall Demon Cliff, a terrifying aura stirred, and a hand that appeared ordinary yet was not so, extended.

In an instant, the Four Array Plates were greatly affected, and the array’s light barrier, already once compromised, shattered again.
