The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1157 - Chapter 1157 Chapter 1156 Long Jiankong

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Long Jiankong Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Long Jiankong “This is Fall Demon Cliff, you were caught by that guy, and he also poisoned you,” the Old Dried Corpse said, explaining the situation to Fang Lin.

Having heard this, Fang Lin nodded and thought to himself, “It seems that this Dragon Family Demon indeed has some prowess to detect your presence.”

The Old Dried Corpse deeply agreed, noting that very few in this era could sense his presence. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was one, and the Dragon Family Demon here was another.

“Kid, do you have a way to detoxify?” the Old Dried Corpse asked.

Fang Lin mentally replied, “I can do it, but it will take some time.”

With Fang Lin’s abilities, the poison in his body was not much of an issue. Given some time, he naturally could detoxify himself.

The problem was that the Dragon Family Demon had captured him and poisoned him but seemed to have done nothing else, which was intriguing.

Could it be that the Dragon Family Demon, having stayed under Fall Demon Cliff for a thousand years, became lonely and wanted someone to talk to, to relieve his boredom?

Clearly not. The Dragon Family Demon was a true demon, murderous and ruthless, yet uniquely, Fang Lin was captured and subsequently allowed to keep his life.

Perhaps it was because of the Old Dried Corpse’s presence, but the real reason was probably that the Dragon Family Demon had some designs on Fang Lin.

“What is your name?” Suddenly, a voice rang out, with a hint of hoarseness and age.

Fang Lin slightly frowned and answered, “Junior Fang Lin. I wonder if senior is Long Jiankong?”

“Long Jiankong? Such a familiar name. It’s been many years since anyone has called me that, and those who did were all killed by me,” the person said lightly, with a tone neither joyful nor sorrowful, as if killing were as commonplace as eating or drinking.

Fang Lin felt a chill, but more so, a bit of curiosity.

It wasn’t said that the Dragon Family Demon had completely lost his humanity, but looking at him now, he seemed very clear-headed and rational, totally unlike the rumors.

“I need the Sacred Qi in your body,” the Dragon Family Demon spoke again, cutting straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin maintained his composure, “Then why doesn’t senior directly extract the Sacred Qi from junior’s body?”

The Dragon Family Demon let out a light chuckle, “On your body, there is a very formidable presence. If I forcibly took the Sacred Qi from your body, this presence probably wouldn’t stand by idly, right?”

The Dragon Family Demon was indeed talking about the Demon Saint Old Dried Corpse, having sensed his presence. Therefore, he refrained from forcibly extracting the Sacred Qi from Fang Lin, fearing that it would provoke the Old Dried Corpse to intervene.

“Hehe, since you know how formidable I am, did you not fear that I might turn this place upside down by capturing this kid?” the Old Dried Corpse scoffed coldly.

“I can sense that you are not whole, which is why you attach to him. Perhaps like me, you also have your needs from him,” the Dragon Family Demon stated.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was even more shocked — the Dragon Family Demon was impressive, even noticing the condition of the Old Dried Corpse.

The Old Dried Corpse remained silent, as being detected by others was a very taboo matter, especially for a practitioner like him at such a level, who could not afford to show their weaknesses.

But the Dragon Family Demon had seen through him, causing the Old Dried Corpse to also feel a degree of wariness. So, if a real fight were to break out, it was uncertain who between the Old Dried Corpse and the Dragon Family Demon would be at a disadvantage.

“I need Sacred Qi to rejuvenate myself. In exchange, after I have absorbed your Sacred Qi, I will let you go and not harm your life,” the Dragon Family Demon stated.

Fang Lin inwardly scoffed, thinking of draining my Sacred Qi? It’s not so simple. This is the Sacred Qi I’ve barely managed to obtain through risking my life, how could I just give it to you?

Just then, Fang Lin slapped his Nine Palace Bag, took a Detoxification Pill, and temporarily relieved the poison in his body, regaining some strength.

“If you want my Sacred Qi, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy,” Fang Lin said coldly.

Boom!!!

A demon’s might descended, the surrounding darkness vanished completely, replaced by a blinding figure.

This was a man in a black robe, thin in stature, with dry white hair, and deeply sunken eyes, giving the impression of a corpse that had crawled out from the earth.

On this man’s face, there were strange black patterns, which made him appear even more eerie and mysterious.

Without a doubt, this was Devil Dragon in the Air of the Dragon Family, a demon who had lived for a thousand years.

Although in human form, he was of a demon body!

Neither human nor Demon Beast, truly a real demon!

Transformed into a demon by a Demon Pill, thus Devil Dragon in the Air retained a human shape, but he was actually no longer human.

But even as a demon, he could not live forever. A thousand years ago, after a battle in which he was severely injured, he had been cast down to the Fall Demon Cliff. Had the terrain of the Fall Demon Cliff not been oddly unique, the Dragon Family Demon would have perished back then.

At the base of Fall Demon Cliff, the Dragon Family Demon clung to life, surviving until today; however, he was between life and death. If it were not for his special demon body’s tenacity, anyone else would have long since perished.

Sacred Qi could be absorbed by Demon Beasts, Martial Artists, and naturally by demon bodies as well. Only Sacred Qi could revive the wilting demon body of Devil Dragon in the Air.

Absorbing the Spirit Source from martial artists’ bodies was only a temporary alleviation of the death timeline for his demon body, without enough Sacred Qi infusion, Devil Dragon in the Air would completely die within three to five years.

“Give it to me!” Devil Dragon in the Air roared furiously and reached out to grab Fang Lin.

Fang Lin felt suffocated, powerless to resist, as the large hand was about to strike down.

A palm formed from Demon Qi appeared and blocked Devil Dragon in the Air’s hand.

“In my presence, you do not have the right to be presumptuous!” said Old Dried Corpse in a cold tone.

The mighty demonic power of Devil Dragon in the Air clashed with the sprawling Demon Qi of the Old Dried Corpse, both supreme beings ready to erupt at any moment.

Fang Lin, caught in the middle, felt quite awkward. If these two guys really started fighting, he feared he would be collateral damage, with no chance to escape.

Buzz!

The blood-colored longsword that Fang Lin hadn’t used for a long while flew out from the Nine Palace Bag on its own and stuck into the ground, causing a chilling bloodlust to surge.

In the hands of Devil Dragon in the Air, there was also a black longsword with an astonishing aura flowing from it.

This was the kind of situation where swords were drawn at the slightest disagreement.

But just at that moment, Devil Dragon in the Air’s expression suddenly changed, his eyes lost their light, replaced by darkness.

For a moment, Devil Dragon in the Air completely changed, standing there motionless, like a piece of wood, his aura still formidable but seemingly soulless.
