The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Traceless Sword Tactic

Facing Qing Jianzi’s sharp swordsmanship, Fang Lin smiled slightly, finally getting serious.

In the next moment, Fang Lin used his true strength, his entire being seemed like a fierce beast, full of energy.

Qing Jianzi finally changed color, he now knew that Fang Lin had not been showing his true strength this whole time.

“Good!” However, Qing Jianzi was exceptionally excited. What he wanted was for Fang Lin to fight him all-out and not hold anything back.

“Careful now, Brother Qing Jian Zi,” Fang Lin warned, then his speed increased drastically, to the point that the audience could hardly keep track of his figure.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Lin had rushed up to Qing Jianzi and under his surprised gaze,-he threw a punch.

This punch, so simple, without any frills, made Qing Jianzi feel suffocated and trapped.

This punch embodied the ultimate power!

In a flash, Qing Jianzi reacted quickly and hastily retreated, simultaneously swinging his sword towards Fang Lin.

This strike was also tricky, it was a sword move Qing Jianzi had released in order to control Fang Lin.

However, Fang Lin didn’t even glance at it and directly grabbed Qing Jianzi’s wrist that was holding the sword.

“What?” Qing Jianzi was shocked, his sword was extremely quick, but Fang Lin managed to accurately grab his wrist. How terrifying was this insight?

The trouble didn’t end there. Once his wrist was grabbed by Fang Lin, Qing Jianzi knew he was in trouble. He tried to pull back his wrist, but found Fang Lin’s palm like an iron clamp, completely immovable.

Qing Jianzi gritted his teeth, the longsword in his hand burst forth with a sword light, attempting to force Fang Lin to retreat.

But to his surprise, Fang Lin kicked out before the sword light could unleash its power, causing the longsword to be directly kicked out by Fang Lin.

Fang Lin’s moves were simple, but very effective; the longsword flew out from Qing Jianzi’s hand and fell to the side.

Seeing one hand subdued by Fang Lin and unable to move, Qing Jianzi transformed his other hand into a sword and slashed it directly onto Fang Lin’s shoulder.

However, Fang Lin seemed unfazed, he mercilessly punched Qing Jianzi’s chest.

This blow overpowered Qing Jianzi, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and continuously retreated.

The various Martial Sect disciples at the audience gasped, their expressions extremely uneasy. As for the Pill Sect Disciples, one after another were elated, as if the person dueling Qing Jianzi on the platform wasn’t Fang Lin, but themselves.

Facing an injured Qing Jianzi, Fang Lin didn’t press on too hard, he stood at the same place without attacking immediately.

Qing Jianzi took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and regained his composure.

“Indeed, you have become so strong.” Qing Jianzi laughed, while having a calm mindset.

Fang Lin laughed: “Brother Qing Jian Zi’s sword move also gave me quite some trouble.”

Qing Jianzi smacked his Nine Palace Bag and took out a purple longsword, “Your strength is indeed very strong, but I also have a way to counter you.”

After saying that, Qing Jianzi moved again, the purple longsword in his hand emitted a dim glow.

“Traceless!”

With a soft shout from Qing Jianzi, Fang Lin only felt a blur in front of his eyes, then the purple longsword had already reached him.

Fang Lin’s face changed and he swiftly dodged, but it was a little too late, his chest was swept by the longsword, leaving a bloody mark.

“What powerful sword move!” Fang Lin marveled internally. This sword move truly lived up to its ‘traceless’ name and was absolutely impossible to guard against.

After Qing Jianzi made a successful move, he paused slightly, giving Fang Lin a brief chance to recover.

“Come on!” Fang Lin’s will to fight surged. His eyes were fixed onto Qing Jianzi’s every move, especially the purple longsword in his hand, which was on high alert.

But that feeling appeared again, the purple sword came attacking towards him without any trace, as if it vanished halfway before suddenly appearing in front of Fang Lin’s eyes.

This difficult to guard sword move made Fang Lin extremely vexed, he didn’t know how to deal with it.

Even if Fang Lin had a quick reaction, this close-range sword attack was difficult to completely avoid.

Yet another bloody wound left on Fang Lin’s body, making him look rather disheveled.

“Fang Lin, you can’t break my ‘Traceless’ move now, just surrender.” Qing Jianzi stopped and smirked at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin snorted, “Who said I can’t break it? I just need to observe it a bit more, and I will definitely come up with a countermeasure.”

Qing Jianzi laughed heartily, “If I were truly out for the kill, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have the time to come up with a solution.”

Fang Lin didn’t reply, suddenly, it seemed like he thought of something, and it was as though a light bulb lit up in his mind.

“Let’s go again! This time I’ll break it for you to see!” Fang Lin roared.

Upon hearing this, Qing Jianzi once again displayed that unpredictable sword move. Just as the sword move was about to disappear, Fang Lin closed his eyes.

“What?” Not only was Qing Jianzi surprised, but everyone beneath the Martial Arts Platform were also astonished.

What was he trying to do? Giving up on himself? You can’t see it even when you open your eyes, closing your eyes would just make it even harder to dodge.

Sure enough, after Fang Lin closed his eyes, he detected the momentum of ‘Traceless’ sword move, his body instinctively judged and expertly evaded it.

This scene caused the usually noisy audience to go silent, everyone was wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe.

Qing Jianzi also froze in place, Fang Lin had really broken his move so quickly and in such a short span of time.

How was this possible?

“How did you do it?” Qing Jianzi asked somewhat angrily. He had practiced this move for a long time, this was one of his trump cards, but he didn’t expect Fang Lin to break it so effortlessly, Qing Jianzi found it hard to accept this.

Fang Lin opened his eyes and laughed, “It’s very simple. If I can’t see it with my eyes open, shouldn’t it work if I close them?”

At this, Qing Jianzi and everyone else were at a loss for words. If it was really as simple as you said, wouldn’t Qing Jianzi’s move be useless?

In fact, it was just as Fang Lin said, you absolutely can’t perceive the momentum of the ‘Traceless’ sword move with your eyes open, you can only close your eyes and rely on your body’s instinct.

Although people’s eyes can see things, they can also deceive themselves because of what they see.

Fang Lin didn’t know how Qing Jianzi executed his move, but in his opinion, the sword move couldn’t disappear for no reason. It must have been using something to deceive his eyes, thereby achieving its invisibility.

So, he closed his eyes and used the feeling from his body to judge the momentum and direction of the sword move.

It was very risky, but an effective method to counter, the eyes could be fooled, but the feeling of the body would not lie.

“Do you want to continue? Your move doesn’t work anymore, you know.” Fang Lin said to Qing Jianzi with a smile.
