The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1198 - Chapter 1198 Chapter 1197 Initial Battle Disadvantage

Chapter 1198: Chapter 1197: Initial Battle Disadvantage Chapter 1198: Chapter 1197: Initial Battle Disadvantage “Alchemy Tao competition can sometimes be even more dangerous than martial arts competition,”

“Such struggles are not uncommon in Alchemy Tao contests.”

“But only the exceedingly confident Pill Refiners dare to make such moves.”

“This skinny guy from the Seven Seas really is courting death, actually daring to provoke Zhang Hongtian openly.”

“Teach him a harsh lesson, let him realize how foolish he is.”

****

Many Pill Refiners below, seeing Hui Xuzi actually urge the Flame Double Fish to clash head-on with Zhang Hongtian’s fire dragon, all scoffed, feeling that this Hui Xuzi was really overestimating his abilities.

On the stage, when Zhang Hongtian saw his opponent attacking first, he was completely unflustered, waving his hands as the fire dragon roared, spouting intense flames.

“Trifling tricks,” Hui Xuzi sneered coldly, and in the circulation of the Flame Double Fish, he actually absorbed all the flames spat out by the fire dragon.

This scene startled Zhang Hongtian a bit, and it also surprised many Pill Refiners below.

“This barbarian from the Seven Seas has some tricks, it seems,” someone couldn’t help but say.

Zhang Hongtian dared not be careless, knowing that this opponent was not easy to handle. Immediately, as the fire dragon soared, it charged fiercely towards the Flame Double Fish.

This was going to be a head-on collision, a very dangerous action. If the two collided, there was a high possibility of mutual destruction, with neither able to produce the Jade Heart Pill.

At this moment, since Hui Xuzi had already provoked him first, if Zhang Hongtian did not respond and simply retreated, it would lose face for the Nine Countries.

“Well met,” Hui Xuzi, seeing the fire dragon roaring towards his Flame Double Fish, revealed a faint cold smile, as the Flame Double Fish circulated without any hint of evasion.

For a time, countless eyes were fixed on this clash, and some from the Nine Countries showed worry.

Meanwhile, the people from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect appeared completely confident, showing no concern for Hui Xuzi.

BOOM~~~~

The fire dragon and Flame Double Fish collided, and instantly, the scorching flames seemed to explode, spreading in all directions, causing a series of gasps from the crowd.

Many even fled in panic, afraid that the scattered flames would fall on them.

“Stop running, Soul Commanding Pill Fire can’t harm people,” a Pill Refiner disdainfully scoffed at those fleeing martial artists, saying.

Hearing this, those martial artists sheepishly stopped and no longer fled like fools.

However, the scenario of flames spreading everywhere was indeed terrifying, as if doomsday had arrived, threatening to burn everything around to ashes.

The entire array platform was completely enveloped by both of their Soul Commanding Pill Fires, making it impossible to see what was happening inside from the outside.

Many opened their Spirit Eye, only then could they see through the flames to the situation on the array platform above.

“How is this possible?” Some martial artists from the Nine Countries showed shock, saying in disbelief.

“What happened? What’s going on inside?” Some lower cultivation martial artists, who did not possess the Spirit Eye, thus unable to see what was inside, asked anxiously.

“Zhang Hongtian’s fire dragon is about to collapse,” someone said, rather resentfully.

Hearing this, the martial artists and Pill Refiners present from the Nine Countries were greatly dismayed, finding it hard to believe. Was Zhang Hongtian going to lose in this Alchemy Tao contest?

Elder Tianjun furrowed his brows slightly; his cultivation was profound, so he could clearly see what was happening above the array platform. At this moment, things indeed did not look optimistic for Zhang Hongtian; his fire dragon was on the verge of collapsing.

And looking at Hui Xuzi’s Flame Double Fish, although it too was greatly affected with dim flames and the shape of the fish somewhat imperfect, it showed no signs of collapse and could still maintain itself.

“It seems in this first match, our Seven Seas Taoist Sect can take the lead,” Taoist Chongyun said with a smile.

“The methods of the Taoist Sect are indeed extraordinary,” Elder Tianjun said faintly, his expression not very pleased. Losing this first match would be too great a blow to the morale of the Nine Countries’ side; moreover, losing the first match meant that there was no retreat for the next two–they had to win.

Otherwise, if they lost another match, the Pill Alliance would be utterly defeated this time, completely unable to raise their heads again.

The members of the Pill Alliance present also had worried looks on their faces, many of them shaking their heads and sighing. It looked very likely that they would lose this first match.

At the Seven Seas Taoist Sect, some of the sect members showed triumphant expressions. Although they didn’t speak, their looks said it all–they were quite pleased since Hui Xuzi was almost assured victory in this first match.

The flames that filled the array platform dissipated, revealing the scene on the platform clearly to everyone.

Zhang Hongtian looked a little pale. The fire dragon floating above his Pill Furnace was close to collapsing. The two Pill that transformed into the dragon’s eyes were also not yet fully formed, seemingly affected by that previous collision.

At Hui Xuzi’s side, the Flame Double Fish was still circulating, and the two Pill positioned between them were nearly formed, exuding bursts of pill fragrance.

With this, the difference in skill was clear.

The people from the Nine Countries let out a series of sighs and resentful sounds; even those Martial Artists who didn’t understand much could tell that winning this first match was unlikely.

“How could this be?”

“Why would Zhang Hongtian be at a disadvantage? This shouldn’t be happening.”

“It’s a loss. We can’t win this first match.”

“It’s infuriating to have to lose to a barbarian from the Seven Seas.”

“My heart can’t accept this! I really can’t accept it!”

…

The people from the Nine Countries said one after another, each very resentful, gritting their teeth in anger.

It didn’t matter to lose to someone else, but losing to someone from the Seven Seas was something no person from the Nine Countries could tolerate.

At that moment, the happiest were undoubtedly the people from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect, seeing Hui Xuzi completely dominating. They all showed smiles.

“It looks like our Taoist Sect’s Alchemy Tao is still superior.”

“Isn’t that so? The so-called genius of the Pill Alliance is nothing more than this.”

“The Pill Refining methods of our Taoist Sect are the orthodox way.”

…

Hearing those comments from the people of the Taoist Sect, the Pill Refiners of the Pill Alliance were absolutely furious, itching to rush over and battle them.

To be mocked and looked down upon on their own turf by outsiders was truly an unbearable taste.

Elder Tianjun’s expression was also very unpleasant as he coldly swept a glance over those people from the Taoist Sect.

“Elder, in this first match, our Taoist Sect will unapologetically claim victory,” Taoist Chongyun said, his words filled with pride.

Elder Tianjun didn’t respond, but instead was looking toward the array platform above.
