The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1437 - Chapter 1437 1535 Chapter Deadly Strike

Chapter 1437: 1535 Chapter: Deadly Strike Chapter 1437: 1535 Chapter: Deadly Strike The Seven Stars Tower had already collapsed, and Dugu Nian broke out of the tower, standing in front of Fang Lin.

At that moment, Dugu Nian still looked the same as before, with her black hair cascading down her back, her face slightly haggard and tears in her eyes as she looked at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin smiled broadly, though he could no longer see Dugu Nian’s face clearly, but he still reached out and pinched her cheek.

Blood also stained Dugu Nian’s face, and Fang Lin laughed heartily, saying, “I’ve finally rescued you.”

Seeing Fang Lin covered in blood and riddled with wounds, Dugu Nian felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife. She had had a bad feeling before, and now her premonition had come true–Fang Lin had come here for her.

“You fool! Are you here to die?” Dugu Nian cried bitterly, yet she continued to curse through her tears.

Fang Lin did not say much and summoned the Supreme Saint Hall, intending to take Dugu Nian into the Supreme Saint Hall and then break through the encirclement.

But at that moment, an invisible pressure suddenly appeared, causing everyone present, whether Fang Lin and Thousand-Year Corpse Ginseng or the Demon Puppet and those of the Taoist Sect, to tense up.

The Supreme Saint Hall was also immobilized not far away, and Fang Lin, as the owner of the Supreme Saint Hall, was unable to summon it back to his side.

Fang Lin was startled, and then suddenly saw a woman in a black dress appearing in the skies not far away.

The appearance of this woman caused Fang Lin’s heart to sink, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his blood-covered face.

The Taoist Sect members were also very surprised to see the woman in the black dress and bowed uniformly to her, including the white-robed Taoist.

Fang Lin stared intensely at the woman in the black dress. Although he had never seen her before, his intuition told him that she must be the woman from the ancient cave of the Purple Mist Sect.

The woman in the black dress approached slowly, her beauty cold and detached, indifferently regardging Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, her gaze focusing more on Fang Lin.

“I didn’t expect you to come here,” the woman in the black dress said indifferently.

Fang Lin furrowed his brows, clutching the ancient spear in his hands tightly, contemplating how to deal with the woman in the black dress.

But no matter how he looked at it, this woman in the black dress was not something as simple as a Long-lived One; she likely had already stepped into the Immortal realm.

Even when Fang Lin was at his best, he could not contend with an Immortal powerhouse, not to mention that his current state was poor, riddled with injuries, having even destroyed his Heavenly Eye.

“I really didn’t want to encounter you here,” Fang Lin said through clenched teeth.

The woman in the black dress revealed a smile, looking very beautiful as if there was no smile more beautiful in the world.

“You have grown much stronger than when you were at the Purple Mist Sect. If you had been willing to help me back then, perhaps today I could save your life,” the woman in the black dress said.

Fang Lin laughed, “And now? What do you plan to do?”

The faint smile on the woman in the black dress’s face disappeared, replaced by a deep look of disdain.

“You resemble someone from the past quite closely, even your temperament is quite similar; hadn’t I known he was already dead, I might have thought you were him,” the woman in the black dress said, a hint of killing intent spreading in her eyes.

Fang Lin knew what this woman in the black dress was referring to; his current appearance wasn’t much different from his appearance in his previous life. This woman was a figure from ancient times and had some grievances with the Pill Saint Palace; recognizing him was not surprising.

“Nonsense,” Fang Lin said, positioning Dugu Nian behind him.

Dugu Nian’s attention was solely focused on Fang Lin, oblivious to everything else around him, even the appearance of the woman in the black dress did not divert his gaze away from Fang Lin.

“Senior, this young man has killed many from our Taoist Sect. Today, we must ensure his death here,” a man in a white robe said to the woman in a black dress, bowing.

The woman in the black dress nodded, “He will die today, but I just want to have a few words with him.”

“I have nothing to say to you, today I, Fang Lin, can only fight to the end,” Fang Lin shouted loudly, his ancient spear pointing at the woman in the black dress.

“You’ve come all this way through great trials just to save the woman behind you. Are you prepared to die with her now?” the woman in the black dress asked interestedly, looking at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin remained silent in response.

Given the current situation, it was impossible for him to escape with Dugu Nian. Not to mention the presence of these skilled Taoist Sect masters, just this woman in the black dress alone had already dashed all hopes for Fang Lin and Dugu Nian.

“Really, are we going to die here?” Fang Lin sighed inwardly, turning to look back at Dugu Nian.

Yet he saw behind Dugu Nian, her flowing black hair now sported some enchanting red, and there were flecks of crimson flickering in her eyes.

A jolt of alarm struck Fang Lin’s heart. Dugu Nian’s appearance was clearly not right, and he didn’t know what had happened to Dugu Nian in the Seven Stars Tower during this time. But long ago, Fang Lin had noticed subtle changes occurring in Dugu Nian since their time in the Wuji Battle Temple. If not for Fang Lin’s deep familiarity and their frequent time spent together, he might have missed those slight changes.

Now, Dugu Nian’s transformation was becoming very apparent, as if she was about to turn into someone else.

The woman in the black dress also noticed Dugu Nian’s condition. Her eyebrows knitted slightly, apparently puzzled.

“Kid, this old one is almost done for,” the Millennium Corpse Ginseng flew beside Fang Lin, now reverted to its original form, looking extremely spiritless and weak.

Fang Lin summoned the Demon Puppet to his side. The Demon Puppet was also heavily injured. Even with a formidable demon body, facing several Great Longevity masters from the Taoist Sect was too much to withstand.

Desperation was the only way to describe Fang Lin’s current state – facing numerous skilled masters from the Taoist Sect and the unfathomable woman in the black dress. Fang Lin knew he had no way out and no chance of survival.

“It’s time for you to be on your way. You look too much like him, and I don’t like it,” the woman in the black dress said, extending her hand towards Fang Lin.

Suddenly, Fang Lin felt an invisible bondage descend, grabbing him and slowly pulling him toward the woman in the black dress.

“No!” Dugu Nian screamed, attempting to hold on to Fang Lin but was suppressed by a gesture from the woman in the black dress, unable to move.

Just as Fang Lin was about to reach the woman in the black dress, he suddenly exhausted all the strength of his flesh in a moment, forcibly breaking free from the bondage, and unleashed the Seven Days Unextinguished Pill along with his lifeforce.

A strike of despair!

After this move, Fang Lin’s body would undoubtedly collapse, and his lifeforce would be completely severed.

“Ridiculous,” the woman in the black dress muttered with a slight curve of her lips, a palm strike descending, and Fang Lin’s body exploded.

The ancient spear, however, managed to slash across the woman in the black dress’s cheek.

Dugu Nian stared blankly as Fang Lin’s body disintegrated, feeling as if her heart had been viciously pierced by a sharp sword, her mind blank.

“Fang Lin is dead,” murmured Dugu Nian, her black hair turning as red as blood.
