The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1461 - Chapter 1461 Chapter 1559 Fierce Tiger Juechen

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1559: Fierce Tiger Juechen Chapter 1461: Chapter 1559: Fierce Tiger Juechen Facing the fierce slash from the man in the Tiger-Head Mask, the Wind Monarch showed no expression and suddenly reached out with his left hand.

Bang!

The cloth dagger was grasped by the Wind Monarch, unable to advance even a little.

The expression in the eyes of the man in the Tiger-Head Mask remained unchanged, and the arm holding the dagger was steady as a mountain, not shaken by the fact that his strike was blocked.

Suddenly, another powerful blade force burst forth from the cloth dagger, forcing the Wind Monarch to retreat as he flicked his finger on the dagger.

With a clang, the cloth dagger slightly shifted. The Wind Monarch, like an invisible and traceless wind, quietly dodged the blade, appearing at the man’s side and pointed directly at his lower back.

The man in the Tiger-Head Mask reacted quickly, sweeping his foot sideways, forcing the Wind Monarch to immediately retreat.

It seemed he did not want to entangle with the Wind Monarch for long, as the man chased after the Wind Monarch with his cloth dagger, while the Wind Monarch shot out two fingers in a flash, pinning the cloth dagger.

Once again, both figures came to a halt, the Wind Monarch merely pinning the cloth dagger with the strength of his two fingers.

However, on closer inspection, the Wind Monarch didn’t actually touch the cloth dagger with his fingers. A white aura wrapped around each of his fingers, like mist and smoke, seemingly dispersible with a wave but capable of resisting the cloth dagger with his bare hands.

The Fire King stood to the side, not appearing, his red and blue eyes fixated on every move of the man in the Tiger-Head Mask, seemingly trying to discern his identity from his actions.

The Fire King, observing the cloth dagger in the hands of the man in the Tiger-Head Mask, had some suspicions, but was not completely sure. After all, the man wore a mask that concealed his face, requiring more detailed judgments to conclude who he really was.

“Your movements can’t compare with mine,” said the Wind Monarch calmly.

“Is that so?” replied the man in the Tiger-Head Mask coldly, flipping his dagger as a strong aura surged out, blasting the Wind Monarch away.

The man in the Tiger-Head Mask held his cloth dagger, the air around churning with energy, nearly causing the Pill Refining Room where they were to collapse.

Li Zhangyi hid behind, secretly scared in his heart, thankful that the Western Moon King sent these two top assassins from Hidden Kill Hall to protect him; otherwise, he might have already been killed by the man in the Tiger-Head Mask.

For the first time, Li Zhangyi felt that coming out to help the Pill Alliance was not a wise choice. Not only did it require great effort, but he also had to guard his own life.

Boom!!!

The Pill Refining Room collapsed under the aftershock of the clash between the man in the Tiger-Head Mask and the Wind Monarch, and many Pill Refiners in the vicinity noticed the disturbance and appeared.

“What is this…” The Pill Refiners who saw the fierce confrontation between the Wind Monarch and the man in the Tiger-Head Mask were all dumbfounded, not knowing what the situation was.

However, a few senior Pill Refiners realized that these were people from the Sky Swallowing Palace coming to assassinate Li Zhangyi.

As for the two individuals protecting Li Zhangyi, a few senior Pill Refiners looked at each other, all noticing the extremely upset look on each other’s faces.

Although the four assassins of Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire were very mysterious, they had made their names over the years, and some of their characteristics were known by many.

These senior Pill Refiners, being seasoned and well-informed, recognized the unique appearance of the Fire King and guessed the identities of both Fire King and Wind Monarch.

The thought that top assassins from Hidden Kill Hall were actually protecting a genius of the Pill Alliance was truly troubling. In the past, many did not believe that the Pill Alliance had colluded with Hidden Kill Hall, but now it seemed likely a fact; otherwise, why would Hidden Kill Hall send people to protect Li Zhangyi?

Fire King glanced around, slightly furrowing his brows. As an assassin of Hidden Kill Hall, he disliked being watched by so many people, feeling an urge to kill everyone around him.

However, after looking at Li Zhangyi behind him, Fire King helplessly shook his head and immediately grabbed Li Zhangyi, taking him away.

“Where are you going?” A furious shout erupted as the man in the Tiger-Head Mask freed himself from Wind Monarch’s entanglement and slashed fiercely towards Fire King and Li Zhangyi.

Fire King chuckled lightly, and with a light tap of his toes, he stepped directly on the blade.

“Aren’t you unsheathing it yet?” Fire King spoke, as a red glow brightened in his right eye, striking the man in the Tiger-Head Mask with a fierce invisible force.

The man in the Tiger-Head Mask grunted, the gray cloth wrapped around his treasured blade instantly shattered, revealing the cold, sharp edge.

“It really is you!” Fire King laughed heartily. Although he did not see the man’s true face behind the Tiger-Head Mask, he identified him from the blade.

“Die!” The man in the Tiger-Head Mask roared lowly, suddenly unleashing myriad blade lights covering all directions, assaulting Fire King furiously.

Fire King spread his arms, the power in his eyes circulating through his body, striving to block these incoming blade lights.

Wind Monarch also charged forward, trying to continue entangling the man in the Tiger-Head Mask, giving Fire King the opportunity to escape with Li Zhangyi.

The two of them were merely responsible for protecting Li Zhangyi; as for other Pill Refiners present, they couldn’t care less, for Hidden Kill Hall was not an organization known for doing good deeds. Protecting someone like today was already a rare occurrence.

“Thinking of leaving? Did you ask my blade?” The man in the Tiger-Head Mask swung his blade, releasing a huge spectral lion that roared mightily.

Fire King’s expression changed, Wind Monarch frowned.

The spectral lion let out an earth-shaking roar, causing many Pill Refiners below to vomit blood and faint as if they were heavily hit.

Li Zhangyi, held by Fire King, also let out a cry and spat blood, though he did not faint, he was significantly injured.

Fire King and Wind Monarch exchanged glances, seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

“Unexpectedly, he has become this powerful,” Fire King said.

Both felt the situation was challenging; the strength of the man in the Tiger-Head Mask was unexpectedly formidable, making even their combined full force potentially insufficient to defeat him.

It should be noted that today’s four assassins had already stepped into the Minor Longevity Realm, yet the man in the Tiger-Head Mask could confront two at once, obviously also a standout in the Minor Longevity Realm.

“Juechen! Are you truly determined to be an enemy of Hidden Kill Hall?” Fire King yelled out.

“There is no Juechen here, only the fierce tiger of Sky Swallowing Palace!” the man in the Tiger-Head Mask responded deeply, his blade momentum unabated, pressing towards Fire King and Wind Monarch once again.

“If that’s the case, then any past sentiment with Hidden Kill Hall has completely severed today,” Fire King said. After placing Li Zhangyi into the Beast Bag, he joined forces with Wind Monarch to battle the man in the Tiger-Head Mask.

Amid the skirmish, Wind Monarch finally seized an opportunity and snatched off the man’s mask.

But the cost was tremendous; Wind Monarch’s arm was severed directly by the man in the Tiger-Head Mask.

Beneath the mask, was the face of Juechen, the once young powerhouse!
