The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1256 - Chapter 1256 Chapter 1355 Panicked to Death

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1355: Panicked to Death Chapter 1256: Chapter 1355: Panicked to Death This sigh appeared quite abruptly, yet it shook the heavens and the earth, carrying with it an astonishing authority.

No one among the citizens of Qian Country heard this sigh, but every Martial Artist with a bit of cultivation did.

Most notably, the Three Heroes of Tao Sky standing above the firmament outside Qian Country’s border, showed a slight change in expression.

“This small Qian Country, could it be hiding a master?” one of the Three Heroes of Tao Sky called out, his voice laden with a terrible pressure.

If this pressure descended upon Qian Country, then many of its living beings would face annihilation, a force completely beyond their resistance.

“Why must it be this way?” The aged voice appeared once more, invisibly dissolving the aggressive pressure from the Three Heroes of Tao Sky.

Seeing this, the Three Heroes of Tao Sky grew even more wary in their hearts, knowing that anyone able to dissolve their combined pressure had the strength to battle them as equals.

Zhou Meng and others, however, were completely bewildered. Was there really another master hidden within the borders of Qian Country? How come they had no knowledge of them?

Could it be a hidden Martial Arts expert who chose not to reveal himself? Concealed within Qian Country?

This was indeed very likely, for the Nine Countries were vast, and it wasn’t out of the question that among them were powerful beings in hiding, perhaps even a hermit, a former master concealed within Qian Country.

Thinking this, hope rose within the hearts of Zhou Meng and the others; if this hidden master were to take action, perhaps they could resolve the current crisis.

“Skulking about, show yourself if you want to battle. If you dare not show your face, then roll away to some distant part,” one of the Three Heroes of Tao Sky said with a cold laugh.

“Such impudence from the young,” came a light chuckle, and then an unkempt old man appeared in the sky.

At the appearance of this elder, Zhou Meng and those below were shocked and hurriedly bowed in respect.

“We pay our respects to the East Pole Heaven King!” Zhou Meng and the others were dumbstruck; the disheveled old man was actually the East Pole Heaven King. When had he arrived? And why had he concealed himself within Qian Country?

Could it be that the East Pole Heaven King had foreseen trouble here and had arrived early, remaining unseen until now?

Zhou Meng and the others dared not speculate, but confusion reigned in their hearts. If the East Pole Heaven King had indeed been here all along, then why had they been summoned? Was not this superfluous?

Upon seeing the East Pole Heaven King, even the Three Heroes of Tao Sky’s expressions drastically changed. Although they were people of the Seven Seas, they still knew of the might of the Four Kings of the Pill Alliance. They were figures on par with Buddha Head and Cangyunzi, each capable of overpowering the many experts of the three sects.

The East Pole Heaven King had once held a splendid reputation, known even far across the Seven Seas and the three sects by many.

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky had never imagined that within this tiny Qian Country there would be an East Pole Heaven King. What were they planning? Did this revered Heaven King really have nothing better to do than to prevent them from doing as they pleased?

No matter why the East Pole Heaven King was there, though the Three Heroes of Tao Sky were surprised, they showed not the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, their eyes were ablaze with fighting spirit, all eager for a joint battle against the Heaven King.

The East Pole Heaven King, hands clasped behind his back, stooping figure, and tattered clothes, looked much like a beggar that one might see on the streets, but everyone in the Nine Countries knew that this was the appearance of the East Pole Heaven King. Though he neglected his appearance, he was indeed a true senior and a hidden master.

The Martial Artists of Qian Country, including Zhou Meng and his companions, all let go of their worries. With the East Pole Heaven King present, even if the sky were to fall, there would be no need for concern.

“We have long heard of the great fame of the East Pole Heaven King; today, the three of us brothers wish to cross hands with the Heaven King and witness your prowess,” the Three Heroes of Tao Sky said.

“Heh, you three youngsters are still unqualified to fight with this old man,” the East Pole Heaven King said with a light laugh, his words oozing disdain for the Three Heroes of Tao Sky.

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky became immediately enraged. They were top-level experts of the Taoist Sect, yet the East Pole Heaven King claimed they lacked the qualifications to fight him. Was this not a slight against the three brothers?

“Hmph! Although you are the East Pole Heaven King, the three of us brothers are no mediocrities. Heaven King, you may not necessarily be our match,” the Three Heroes of Tao Sky retorted, dark expressions on their faces.

“Ridiculous to the extreme, even if all the experts from your three sects were to come out, I, the Heaven King of the East Pole, would hold them back single-handedly,” said the Heaven King of the East Pole, his words laden with a look-down-upon-the-world arrogance.

“Spoken well!”

“Worthy of being a senior Heaven King!”

“Martial Artists from our Nine Countries, this is the kind of dominance we have!”

…

For a moment, Martial Artists from Qian Country cheered for the Heaven King of the East Pole, especially some of the younger ones, whose blood boiled with excitement, longing to fight side by side with the Heaven King of the East Pole.

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky were genuinely frightened by the Heaven King of the East Pole. Such nearly arrogant bravado was not something that just anyone could claim. Could it be that the Heaven King of the East Pole indeed possessed the strength to disdain all competitors, or was he just putting on a show here?

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky speculated, but the reputation of the East Pole’s Heaven King surely wasn’t unfounded, his strength must be unfathomable.

“Hmph! No matter what, my two brothers and I must fight with the Heaven King today!” After a silence, the Three Heroes of Tao Sky spoke up again, clearly not intimidated by the Heaven King of the East Pole’s words.

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“Teach these old impostors from the Seven Seas a lesson!”

“Daring to challenge the Heaven King is simply seeking death!”

“With the Heaven King here, no matter how many come from the Seven Seas, they will all die.”

…

Many Martial Artists from Qian Country started shouting, eager to see the scene of the Heaven King of the East Pole crushing these three aged Taoists from the Seven Seas.

Zhou Meng and the other powerful members of the Pill Alliance had no doubt about the Heaven King of the East Pole’s abilities. The Heaven King certainly had the strength, and these three experts from the Taoist Sect were unlikely to be a match for him. How long they could last under the Heaven King’s hand was indeed a question.

Although the Three Emperors were regarded as the strongest in martial prowess across the Nine Countries, this did not mean there were no other masters besides them.

Should the Heaven King of the East Pole stand out, he would definitely not be inferior to the Three Emperors. In fact, he was of a higher generation than the Three Emperors, who had to maintain a certain level of respect in front of him.

Could such a senior figure lack real skills? That would be a joke, even a pig that had lived for so many years would have become clever by then.

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky communicated silently, debating in their hearts whether or not to battle the Heaven King of the East Pole. If they did fight, it seemed they didn’t have a sure chance of victory, and if they lost, wouldn’t that be quite a loss of face? They had only just arrived here to gain some prestige.

Yet if they did not fight, it would make them appear cowardly and timid. Hadn’t they just been aggressively challenging the Heaven King of the East Pole? Were they going to back down so quickly?

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky quickly came to a conclusion that they must fight, even if they lost, they needed to lose with dignity.

Losing to the Heaven King of the East Pole, a renowned elder-strongman of the Nine Countries, should not be too disgraceful.

“Heaven King, we three brothers would like to receive your instruction,” said the Three Heroes of Tao Sky.

Meanwhile, the Heaven King of the East Pole, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually in a panic inside.

“Dammit, this time I, your lord, have really overplayed my hand.”
