The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1431 - Chapter 1431 Chapter 1529 Arent You Afraid of Death

Chapter 1431: Chapter 1529: Aren’t You Afraid of Death? Chapter 1431: Chapter 1529: Aren’t You Afraid of Death? The Demon Puppet attacked once again, seizing the moment the elderly man with the dark face was descending, delivering another sword strike.

This sword strike, if successful by the Demon Puppet, would undoubtedly kill the dark-faced elder, decapitating him for certain.

However, the dark-faced elder was after all one of the Great Longevity, with an incredibly tenacious life force, and he regained consciousness at the brink of life and death.

Faced with the incoming Demon Sword, the dark-faced elder forcibly twisted his body, dodging the Demon Puppet’s deadly strike.

Pfft!

But the sword strike did not miss entirely, though it did not kill the dark-faced elder; instead, it cut off the last remaining leg he had.

Thus, the dark-faced elder had lost all his limbs, leaving only his torso and head, looking truly pitiable.

However, as long as he was alive, these injuries were nothing, and given some time, the dark-faced elder could recover.

“You really are a tenacious old man, but today there is no escape for you, you must leave your life here!” Fang Lin said coldly, advancing with an ancient spear near the dark-faced elder.

“Vermin, if you dare kill me, I will take you down with me!” The dark-faced elder, with blood-red eyes, glared fixedly at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin tuned him out and plunged the ancient spear directly into the abdomen of the dark-faced elder.

With this thrust, Fang Lin used all his strength, driving the ancient spear completely through the dark-faced elder’s abdomen.

The dark-faced elder cried out, completely disregarding his injuries, opened his mouth wide, and fiercely attempted to bite Fang Lin.

Fang Lin naturally would not give him the chance to bite and kicked the dark-faced elder away with one foot.

The Demon Puppet emerged from behind, not using the Demon Sword but directly grabbed the body of the dark-faced elder, deploying the Demon Pupil Power on him.

Having lost his Heavenly Eye and suffering from severe injuries, the dark-faced elder naturally couldn’t resist the power of the Demon Pupil, completely unable to move; however, his eyes were still wide open, nearly popping out of his sockets.

Fang Lin, panting heavily, walked up close to the dark-faced elder, looking at his intensely furious and fierce expression, and broke into a grin.

“You scoundrel, you’re finally unable to escape death!” the dark-faced elder cursed angrily.

Fang Lin laughed, “Your life is now in my hands, and if I wish, I can let you die right now.”

“Can you really kill me?” the dark-faced elder said scornfully.

Just as he finished speaking, a purple glow spread from the chest of the dark-faced elder, and a tremendous force seemed about to erupt.

Fang Lin’s mind tensed, carrying two Demon Bones within him, making him very familiar with the aura of Demon Bones; this was the dark-faced elder stimulating the Demon Bone inside his body, preparing for a desperate struggle.

To prevent the dark-faced elder and himself from fighting to the death, Fang Lin immediately had the Demon Puppet infuse Demonic Qi into the elder’s body.

The Demonic Qi entered the body of the dark-faced elder, causing him immense pain, and the restless Demon Bone also calmed down instantly.

“You brat, you can’t trap me! Just give me a chance, and I will surely behead you,” the dark-faced elder roared furiously.

“A tiger without claws and fangs is nothing more than a house cat,” Fang Lin disdainfully remarked as he looked at the elder.

Despite his angry and crazed expression, the dark-faced elder felt incredibly frustrated. He had originally been pursuing Fang Lin, but he had not expected to end up in such a predicament–unable to kill Fang Lin and now having his life controlled by him.

“Damn it, if only I had a bit more time, once my right hand recovers, I could kill this boy!” The dark-faced elder thought begrudgingly. As one of the Great Longevity, he still had many tactics at his disposal. Given just one arm’s recovery, he could wield even more powerful sword moves.

Currently, however, with the fire poison still in his body and the addition of the Demonic Qi, the dark-faced elder was completely unable to restore his physical body. Moreover, the power of the Demon Pupil tightly suppressed him, leaving him utterly incapable of doing anything.

Of course, the dark-faced elder still had one last option–to sacrifice his broken body and his long life in exchange for taking Fang Lin down with him.

Despite his claims of wanting to perish together with Fang Lin, the dark-faced elder truly lacked the courage to do so.

It was a joke; he had not cultivated up to the realm of Great Longevity and enjoyed a high status in Taoist Sect, even potentially competing for one of Chongyun Temple’s next Master positions after both current Masters retire following a grand battle.

Abandoning a promising future to die together with a Spirit Vein Martial Artist like Fang Lin? The dark-faced elder wasn’t so desperate; he very much wanted to live.

“You killed so many mortals on the island; I was going to kill you right here, but I think you might be useful, so I plan to spare you for now,” Fang Lin said.

Upon hearing this, the dark-faced elder’s face still displayed anger, but he was secretly pleased. If Fang Lin planned to keep him for some purpose, it undoubtedly gave him an opportunity.

The dark-faced elder was confident that just by finding an opportunity, he could turn the situation around.

“Boy, you better let me go. On the Taoist Sect’s territory, you can’t move an inch, and you will eventually die here. If you let me go, I won’t hold past grudges and would even allow you to be my servant,” the dark-faced elder said with a grim tone.

Fang Lin laughed, “You are really amusing. Do you still not understand the situation? Thinking you’re still the high and mighty Long-lived One? Look at yourself now; you barely look human, and yet you speak such words, isn’t it just adding to the ridicule?”

“Humph! Do you know what status I hold in Chongyun Temple? If you dare kill me, both Masters of Chongyun Temple will personally take action. Even if you are cunning and treacherous, can you escape from their hands?” the dark-faced elder coldly laughed, maintaining his composure while he thought about ways to escape.

“Did you know that Palace Master Wang Linlang of the Supreme Palace fled in a disarray after I fought with him? I nearly blinded him,” Fang Lin said smilingly.

“Wang Linlang that kind of trash? Comparing him with the two Masters of my Chongyun Temple? Utterly ridiculous,” the dark-faced elder said scornfully, clearly disdainful of Wang Linlang mentioned by Fang Lin.

“Hehe, the two Masters of Chongyun Temple might be formidable, but it has nothing to do with you. If you die, no matter how powerful they are, they can’t bring you back to life, right?” Fang Lin said indifferently.

The dark-faced elder was slightly silent but then said, “If you kill me, both Masters will certainly come to kill you.”

“So what? Are you truly not afraid of death at all? I can spare your life, as long as you behave and don’t interfere with my affairs,” Fang Lin said.
