The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1360 - Chapter 1360 Chapter 1458 Capturing Juechen

Chapter 1360: Chapter 1458: Capturing Juechen Chapter 1360: Chapter 1458: Capturing Juechen Just as the woman from Hidden Kill Hall had guessed, when the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit saw Fang Lin demonstrate his divine might from the shadows, it dared not show itself at all.

“Guardian, will you not reveal yourself?” the woman from Hidden Kill Hall shouted loudly.

Fang Lin, hearing this, showed a hint of mockery in his eyes. He had also anticipated that these three individuals might join forces with the guardian of this place, the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit.

However, even if the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Spirit emerged now, Fang Lin wasn’t afraid at all–he was even somewhat eager for the Fire Spirit to appear so he could absorb all the Fire Power within it, boosting his own strength.

It could be said that, having fused with four Ancient Lamps of the Flame God, Fang Lin completely held a geographical advantage in this land of lava, much like being on his own turf, similar to how the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit could continuously absorb the Fire Power here to enhance itself.

In fact, Fang Lin was even superior to the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit. No matter how much Fire Power the spirit absorbed, its own strength wasn’t strong.

But Fang Lin was sufficiently formidable himself, capable of overpowering Spirit Source experts, and not something the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit could compare to.

The Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit, hidden in the shadows and hearing the call of the woman from Hidden Kill Hall, cursed inwardly even more.

“Damned things, trying to drag me down with them. Every one of these outsiders is a freak. My Fire Essence hasn’t recovered yet, and if a real fight breaks out, I’ll undoubtedly be the first to be wiped out,” cursed the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit in its heart.

A scream sounded; the ugly magic creature was no match for the Demon Puppet and had been torn to shreds, its foul-smelling blood spilling across the sky.

The woman from Hidden Kill Hall didn’t even glance at the ugly magic creature; with its death, the Demon Puppet went unchallenged, and the situation took a dire turn.

Fang Lin waved his hand, calling the Demon Puppet to his side, then looked toward the three people opposite him.

“Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?” Fang Lin asked indifferently, his eyes full of mockery.

Juechen and Yin Wuyan said nothing, while the woman from Hidden Kill Hall’s expression was incredibly grim. They had originally thought they could easily dispose of Fang Lin without any mishaps, but now they realized just how naive they had been.

In truth, their plan was also perfect: to use the ugly magic creature to temporarily hold off the Demon Puppet, then all three of them along with the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit would join forces to kill Fang Lin.

But they never expected that Fang Lin’s own strength would be so formidable; even the combined efforts of the three couldn’t best him.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable and not daring to come out, the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit’s hesitation meant that once the Demon Puppet killed the ugly magic creature, the situation became extremely favorable for Fang Lin. On the other hand, the three who were once so confident were now facing a life-or-death crisis.

Not to mention Fang Lin, even just a Demon from the Long Family was enough to leave them completely powerless.

Seeing the dire situation, the woman from Hidden Kill Hall immediately fled toward the distance. Her speed was extremely fast, and among the thirteen assassins of Nether, she was easily among the top three, so she was confident in her movement technique to escape this crisis.

With the woman escaping, Juechen and Yin Wuyan also cursed inwardly. The plan to besiege Fang Lin was proposed by this woman, who stirred them to join forces.

But now, as the situation turned sour, she was the first to run away, infuriating Juechen so much he wished he could throw his sword to strike her dead.

“She escapes quite fast. It seems she cannot be caught,” Fang Lin remarked nonchalantly as he watched the woman already far away.

Suddenly, the Demon Puppet made its move, darting toward Yin Wuyan and Juechen. One hand reached for each, attempting to capture them both.

Although the demonic might of the Dragon Family Demon was formidable, both men had their own life-saving cards. Yin Wuyan’s waist bell started to ring frantically, and everything around seemed to freeze, affecting the Demon Puppet and slowing it considerably, its movements becoming extremely sluggish.

Yin Wuyan remained unaffected, swaying agilely, directly seizing the chance to escape.

But this turn of events spelled trouble for Juechen. Juechen originally planned to use his life-preserving trump card, but Yin Wuyan’s move left him hanging mid-air, immobile.

It wasn’t until after Yin Wuyan had escaped that the surroundings returned to normal. The Demon Puppet immediately seized Juechen by the neck, denying him any chance to flee.

Juechen still attempted to resist, his treasured blade shining brilliantly as an extremely terrifying blade aura spread out.

Even the body of the Dragon Family Demon, mighty as it was, sustained various wounds from the blade’s aura.

However, the Dragon Family Demon was, after all, the Dragon Family Demon. A torrential Demonic Qi surged into Juechen’s body, instantly paralyzing him such that he couldn’t move or employ any techniques.

Juechen frowned in anger, wanting to struggle, but once the Demonic Qi invaded his body like it had with Qin Guanyue before, how could he even wriggle?

Fang Lin waved his hand, directly imprisoning Juechen inside the Supreme Saint Hall.

“At last, a troublesome opponent has been taken care of,” Fang Lin sighed with relief, fairly satisfied.

Although Yin Wuyan and that woman from Hidden Kill Hall had escaped, they weren’t Fang Lin’s main targets. Juechen was the one Fang Lin really wanted to capture since Juechen possessed three Holy Palace inheritances. If Fang Lin could obtain those three, he would then hold six Holy Palace inheritances.

There were only twelve Holy Palace inheritances in total, and if Fang Lin could lay claim to half of them, there would be no way for the other inheritors to compete with him.

Having captured Juechen, Fang Lin then entered the Supreme Saint Hall with the Demon Puppet.

The Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit, hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief. It secretly congratulated itself on not intervening; otherwise, it likely wouldn’t have met a favorable end.

“This guy is too terrifying,” the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit muttered to itself, now wishing to avoid further troubles with Fang Lin and hoping to drive him off its territory to let him be someone else’s problem.

Inside the Supreme Saint Hall, Fang Lin faced Juechen, the two staring each other down–one with an air of ease, the other wearing a visage of anger.

“Juechen, you never imagined this day would come, did you?” Fang Lin began, a smile playing on his lips.

“You won dishonorably,” Juechen responded in a deep voice.

Fang Lin laughed. “Even if I hadn’t let the Dragon Family Demon intervene, could you really have defeated me?”

Fang Lin expected Juechen to remain silent, but to his surprise, Juechen retorted, “What’s so difficult about defeating you?”

Fang Lin was somewhat astonished. Was Juechen simply being obstinate, or did he truly have some formidable technique he had yet to use?

But it didn’t matter now. After all, Juechen was already his captive, and his fate was entirely within Fang Lin’s whim.

Outside, the great battles in both locations raged on, but an incident occurred that exploded like a bombshell, sending the Nine Countries into an uproar of elation while chilling the hearts of those from the three sects.

Ling Chanzi of the Buddhist Sect and Feng Haitang of the Confucian Sect were slain by the Heaven King of East Pole in front of the Sea Saint Institute!
