The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 418
Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Escape!
“Break!” Fang Lin shouted violently, abruptly wielding his blood-red longsword. Suddenly, a blood-colored Sword Qi roared out, imbued with a mighty power to cleave the heavens and crack the earth it shattered the bloody flesh chain cage enveloping the surroundings.
At the same time, Fang Lin stomped the ground, charging explosively towards Gu Hanshan, his blood-red longsword aimed to strike down on him.
Gu Hanshan dared not challenge the blood-red longsword directly, and immediately retreated, fear evident in his eyes.
While retreating, Gu Hanshan slapped the Nine Palace Bag at his waist. Three large black flags flew out, each landing in a different direction.
“Suppress!” Gu Hanshan shouted loudly, the three large flags suddenly emitted rolling black smoke, which converged into a ball.
Obstructed, Fang Lin watched the dense black smoke warily.
Suddenly, a pitch-black arm emerged from the smoke, accompanied by chilling gusts, it aimed straight for Fang Lin.
Fang Lin swung his sword and cut the black arm apart instantly.
Roar!!!
A mournful roar emanated from the black smoke. It seemed like a horrifying presence was hidden within it, and Fang Lin’s sword strike appeared to have enraged it.
Boom!
A huge fist suddenly blasted out, catching Fang Lin off guard, it knocked him off his feet, sending him sprawling on the ground.
A black giant emerged from the black smoke, over ten times larger than a man, with powerful limbs, but eerily headless.
Gu Hanshan was panting heavily. It seemed that using such a secret technique was extremely exhausting. However, his grim face revealed a smile.
The three black flags were a prized treasure of the Hidden Kill Hall, extremely powerful, they were originally used to deal with Heavenly Origin realm Martial Artists, but now they were used against Fang Lin to weaken him further.
In Gu Hanshan’s opinion, Fang Lin fully deserved the use of these flags. After all, the strength Fang Lin had shown greatly impressed him, it wasn’t something an ordinary Martial Artist could easily deal with.
An azure-robed woman, who hadn’t yet made a move, showed a hint of fear upon seeing this headless black giant. She was not a member of the Hidden Kill Hall but merely had some connections with it. She was completely unaware that Gu Hanshan had such formidable techniques at his disposal.
Fang Lin struggled to his feet, spat out a mouthful of blood, and turned a rather pale shade. His eyes were fixed on the fearsome black giant.
If not for the protection of the Power of Breaking Peak, and Zhao Shenkong’s armor he wore, that punch could have cost Fang Lin half his life.
“What the hell is this?” Fang Lin cursed. The headless black giant was now taking one step after another, trudging towards him.
“Fang Lin, you can take pride in dying under this treasure,” Gu Hanshan sneered, cold light in his eyes.
Fang Lin remained silent, undeterred, and tightened his grip on the blood-red longsword. However, the damned sword began to absorb his blood again.
“Can’t you read the room? Now’s not the time to thirst after my blood!” Fang Lin cursed out loud at his blood-red longsword.
Enraged by Fang Lin’s cursing, the sword seemed to increase its blood absorption, causing him discomfort immediately. Without delay, he stored it in his Nine Palace Bag.
This damned thing, it failed me at a critical moment.” Fanglin cursed, realizing that he couldn’t rely on the blood-red longsword. Without any hesitation, he grabbed another weapon.
“Hahaha, I, the great Ele…” Before the Corpse Ginseng could completely its boastful statement after shiningly appearing on stage, it saw the headless black giant charging towards them.
“Oh my God!” Corpse Ginseng wailed, almost fainting from fright. Just as it was about to make a run for it, Fang Lin grabbed it and used it as a weapon to bash at the headless black giant.
With a resounding ‘Boom,’ the Corpse Ginseng smashed into the leg of the black giant. It caused a visible crack on the giant’s solid leg.
“Argh! That hurts like hell! I’m going to die!!” Corpse Ginseng cried out in pain. But it didn’t have a single scratch on it, nor had it lost even a piece of skin.
Fang Lin was rather intrigued. Although the Corpse Ginseng was a little short, it felt quite handy to use it as a weapon. To his amazement, there was no need to worry about it getting damaged.
Fang Lin had once tested it by hitting it with a large bone stick, but to no avail.
So Fang Lin concluded that the hardness of the Corpse Ginseng should be at least above that of the bone stick.
Thus, he started using the Corpse Ginseng as a weapon against the headless black giant.
“You sneaky thief, Fang Lin, I curse you not to die a natural death!”
“One day, I will beat you to death!”
“You piece of shit!”
…
Fang Lin clashed against the giant ferociously, causing cracks all over its legs. Using the Nine Heavens Step Skill, he dodged the black giant’s attacks, managing to keep the situation at a stalemate for a while.
However, another wave of black smoke approached and black chains flew out from it, tightly binding Fang Lin’s body.
Fang Lin roared, deploying his White Elephant Trampling Mountain skill. He managed to tear the black chains apart, but was promptly flung away by a punch from the headless giant.
This time, Fang Lin’s injuries were critical. It felt as if his internal organs had been rearranged, causing him immense pain and nearly causing him to faint.
“This won’t do! I need to escape ASAP!” Fang Lin, enduring the pain, realized that continuing the fight would not be favorable for him.
Fang Lin then slapped his Nine Palace Bag, swiftly consuming a Blood Evil Pill.
As the Blood Evil Pill entered his body, Fang Lin’s Inner Strength abruptly erupted, increasing by tenfold in an instant. The pain in his body seemed to disappear.
Of course, this was nothing more than a temporary numbness. His injuries had not eased in the slightest; they were merely masked by the potency of the Blood Evil Pill.
At this moment, Fang Lin’s strength was bolstered, the powerful effects of the Blood Evil Pill temporarily elevated him to a strength near that of a Heavenly Origin warrior.
Of course, it was only near. There was still a gap between him and a true master of the Heavenly Origin realm.
The black headless giant attacked again, its massive fist descending upon Fang Lin.
Between roars, Fang Lin grabbed the Corpse Ginseng and swung it in retaliation.
Boom!
Accompanied by the screams of the Corpse Ginseng, the black headless giant’s fist disintegrated, turning into black smoke.
Fang Lin spat out blood once more. He then suddenly darted towards a certain direction, his footwork quick, disappearing in an instant.
Gu Hanshan was enraged. He didn’t expect Fang Lin to cut and run all of a sudden. He promptly retrieved the three flags and chased after Fang Lin, with the green-robed woman in tow.
Fang Lin was out of options. If it had only been Gu Hanshan, he could have held his own, even had the chance to kill him. However, the presence of the equally formidable green-robed woman, who was yet to make her move, was a constant looming threat.
Moreover, Fang Lin faintly felt that someone was spying on him from the shadows. So he had to flee, to delay as much as he could.
