The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1271 - Chapter 1271 Chapter 1370 Cangyunzi Retreats

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1370: Cangyunzi Retreats Chapter 1271: Chapter 1370: Cangyunzi Retreats Fang Lin had somehow appeared, standing before Han Luoyun and the ugly elder with a weary expression and bloodshot eyes, looking quite terrifying.

Han Luoyun, seeing Fang Lin in this state, said, “Can your body still hold up?”

Fang Lin nodded, “It’s manageable, I’ve taken some pills, and I’m starting to recover.”

Hearing this, Han Luoyun finally felt at ease. He had been worried that Fang Lin, having been engaged in intense Pill Refining with no rest for some time, might not be able to withstand it.

The ugly elder looked at Fang Lin, his mismatched eyes scanning him from head to toe.

“Junior Fang Lin pays respects to the esteemed Sword Head,” Fang Lin said with a bow and a very respectful attitude toward the ugly elder.

The ugly elder waved his hand dismissively, “So you know I am the Sword Head. You’re not without insight, young man.”

Fang Lin smiled slightly, “Eight hundred years ago, in the last Sword Tao evaluation of the Nine Countries, Sword Head senior overwhelmed all challengers and claimed the title. Such a glorious feat is naturally greatly admired by us younger generation.”

While speaking, Fang Lin took out a bottle of pills from his Nine Palace Bag and handed it to the ugly elder.

“These are pills I have refined myself, they can help the senior quickly recover from injuries,” Fang Lin stated.

The ugly elder was not shy about accepting and immediately ingested two pills from Fang Lin’s offering.

“Fang Lin, do you know who that elder above is?” Han Luoyun asked Fang Lin.

Fang Lin replied, “Naturally, I do not hide it from the Sect Master, my previous seclusion for Pill Refining was precisely for this senior. Now that the Pill Refining is complete, I was able to request this senior’s assistance.”

At these words, both Han Luoyun and the ugly elder showed expressions of surprise. How could such a mysterious and powerful person have been summoned by this young man?

High above in the sky, the Old Dried Corpse toyed with Cangyunzi, who, despite being a top fighter of his time, still fell short when compared to the Old Dried Corpse.

Amidst thunderous roars, the lightning deep in the sky became denser, turning the entire firmament into an ocean of thunder. It seemed as if, in the next moment, this galaxy of electricity would pour down onto the earth.

The Old Dried Corpse paused and glanced at the rolling thunder deep in the sky, with a slight curl of his mouth.

“Just coming out for such a short time, and already detected?” the Old Dried Corpse mused to himself.

The next moment, the Old Dried Corpse ceased his toying; with a flip of his hand, Cangyunzi’s figure immediately froze.

An unimaginable, terrifying demonic power imprisoned Cangyunzi mid-air. It was hard to imagine that someone of Cangyunzi’s Cultivation could have virtually no power to resist the Old Dried Corpse’s demonic might.

Cangyunzi’s face filled with horror; he fully felt the might of the Old Dried Corpse, clearly not of the same realm.

Cangyunzi found it unbelievable that such a person existed within the Nine Countries, yet why had he never emerged before?

Imprisoned and unable to move, Cangyunzi’s body was wreathed in Taoist charms, dispelling the Old Dried Corpse’s demonic power and regaining his freedom.

But in the very next instant, the Old Dried Corpse had already struck with a punch, seemingly ordinary yet powerful enough to shake heaven and earth.

Caught off guard, Cangyunzi responded hastily, with both palms thrusting forward as the Black and White Twin Fish Diagram emerged, attempting to block the Old Dried Corpse’s punch.

Boom!!!

A muffled sound erupted as the Old Dried Corpse’s fist fiercely collided with the Black and White Twin Fish Diagram. In an instant, the diagram shattered to pieces, and Cangyunzi’s complexion turned pale as his figure was sent flying in retreat.

However, Cangyunzi used this force to directly flee towards the distance.

Yes, as a top expert of the Taoist Sect, Cangyunzi had actually chosen to flee.

It was an act of necessity. If Cangyunzi hadn’t felt a disparity in strength with his opponent, he would have never resorted to the disgraceful act of running away.

Moreover, a few experts from the three sects had fallen into the enemy’s hands, and had not yet been rescued. Imagine the frustration Cangyunzi felt as he ran away without saving them.

“Damn it! The Nine Countries actually have such high-level powerhouses. This is highly unusual, I must find Situ Yue and those other guys to discuss this,” Cangyunzi thought to himself as he fled.

Cangyunzi was escaping rapidly and in the blink of an eye, he had flown a thousand miles away, but the Old Dried Corpse was even faster.

“Where do you think you’re going?” the Old Dried Corpse attacked with a palm strike that seemed capable of severing the stars themselves, forcing Cangyunzi to defend with all his might.

One chased, the other fled, the scene looking extremely bizarre.

After pursuing giddily for a while, the Old Dried Corpse suddenly halted his advance, not continuing to chase Cangyunzi, but not before landing a heavy blow on him.

Cangyunzi took the hit on his back, spitting out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if half of his body had gone numb.

Turning his head and seeing the Old Dried Corpse no longer pursuing, Cangyunzi, just like when he arrived, summoned the Black and White Twin Fish Diagram in front of him, the fish parted, revealing a portal.

Without a second’s hesitation, Cangyunzi stepped through the Yin Yang Diagram and his figure vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there at all.

In a place thousands of miles from Qian Country, where few people ever tread, the Yin Yang Diagram appeared and a haggard Cangyunzi flew out from within.

Cangyunzi looked back in the direction of Qian Country, his face bearing a grim dark expression. He never would have imagined his journey to be so perilous, not only failing his original mission but also encountering such a formidable foe.

Most regrettably, he hadn’t managed to rescue the Female Swordsman of Confucianism, the middle-aged man, and several other experts of the three sects. Although they were not dead, having fallen into the hands of the Nine Countries’ powerhouses, their fate was not hard to imagine, a significant loss for the three sects. Their strengths were already few in number within the sects; to lose so many at once would surely make the senior ranks of the three sects furious enough to leap up in anger.

“Qian Country must be conquered, or else our grand plans cannot proceed. No matter how strong that person is, we must find a way to eliminate him. If we truly cannot manage, we may have to call upon those few old monsters,” Cangyunzi muttered to himself.

The Yellow Feathered Bird, which had been terrified into fainting by the Old Dried Corpse, was now awake and perched on Cangyunzi’s shoulder, still looking fearful and suspicious.

With a silent sigh, Cangyunzi’s figure moved, he continued to fly into the distance.

Elsewhere, above Qian Country, the crisis had finally passed.

Yet many martial artists continued to gaze at the sky above, where lightning constantly crackled, the thunderous roars seemingly endless and unabated.

“Why do I feel like the thunder is getting louder?” a martial artist asked with confusion.

The entire sky had transformed into a Thunder Pool, numerous bolts of lightning converging, and it seemed as though the expanse of the Thunder Pool was still expanding.
