The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 643

Chapter 643: Chapter 643: The Old Servant in Grey

The sudden boom startled everyone present.

Next, a roar, as if coming from the vast ancient times, sounded. It was unlike a beast’s roar; it was more like a human’s.

In the distant western sky, black beams were seen shooting high into the sky.

Inside these black beams, phantom-like figures could be faintly seen, struggling in an attempt to break free. However, their efforts were in vain.

The black light appeared abruptly and vanished just as swiftly. Before everyone got a clear look, it completely disappeared.

This spectacle was witnessed by nearly all the martial artists on the outskirts of Hundred Beast Mountain. Many people hurriedly moved towards the direction of the phenomenon, hoping to understand what was happening.

Fang Lin and Chi Yunxiao glanced at each other, both playing with the idea of halting their conflict.

“Shall we cease fire?” Chi Yunxiao suggested. Despite his unwillingness, it would be difficult to determine a winner between them in a short time. It made more sense to investigate what was happening in the west; perhaps they could even stumble upon some opportunities.

Fang Lin nodded in agreement. Just like Chi Yunxiao, he saw little sense in continuing their fight and was also curious about the disturbance in the west. It definitely didn’t seem the right moment to continue their fight.

They immediately ceased fighting and flew westwards together.

As Chi Yunxiao opened his thunder wings and flapped, he soared into the sky in a blink of an eye, distancing himself from Fang Lin and others significantly with his incredible speed.

Unwilling to lag, Fang Lin used the Nine Heavens Step technique to follow closely, and didn’t fall behind by much.

The Nine Heavens Step technique wasn’t merely for ground movement; as the name suggests, it was as if one could walk on the nine skies. The technique was even more effective when performed in the air.

With its unrestrained nature, they could bring this technique to full power.

It was by relying on the Nine Heavens Step that Fang Lin didn’t end up significantly disadvantaged during his face-off with Chi Yunxiao. If not for this technique, Fang Lin would have been helpless against Chi Yunxiao’s thunder wings alone.

Almost everyone was hustling westward, many with faces of excitement. They were sure something had happened in the west, presenting an opportunity that no one wanted to miss.

All the people on the outskirts of Hundred Beast Mountain were rushing westward to investigate.

Two hours later, Fang Lin and Chi Yunxiao stopped in their tracks as a figure blocked their way.

A gray-clothed old man stood in their path. His features were aged and his expression somber.

Not far ahead of them was a towering mountain that resembled a turtle shell. It was barren, showing signs of desolation.

Underneath the mountain, there was a pitch-black cave where black beams were radiating.

Seeing the old man in grey, Fang Lin and Chi Yunxiao immediately understood that Crown Prince Zhou Yishui must be here and even managed to enter the mountain before them. Perhaps the commotion was somehow related to Zhou Yishui, what he had discovered, or what he had encountered.

“The Crown Prince is meditating in seclusion. Halt!” the old man in grey said coldly. His voice echoed, reaching everyone approaching the area.

Some members of the royal family yielded, given that it was the Crown Prince. They dared not show any disrespect.

But not everyone cared. The area seemed rich with fortune since Zhou Yishui, the Crown Prince, had gone inside. People were not considering whether the person inside was a Crown Prince or even a Heaven King; nothing mattered at this moment.

About a dozen people immediately rushed towards the cave, their eyes filled with fervor and madness.

“Seeking death!” The old man in grey was furious and attacked mercilessly.

Boom!

With his strike, more than ten people instantly died on the spot. They were obliterated into pieces by just one shot from the old man in grey.

The others watched the scene in horror, not daring to even move, afraid they might be the next ones to be smashed to death.

“Any step into the cave will be met with death!” The old man in grey coldly stated, his tone ominous, filled with a murderous aura. Alone, he intended to block anyone who wished to enter the cave.

At this moment, the gaze of the old man in grey was fixed on Fang Lin, clearly conveying his murderous intention.

Fang Lin looked back at him, his face devoid of panic. On the contrary, he even had a smile on his face.

“Old man, what’s the Crown Prince up to in there?” Fang Lin casually inquired.

The old man in grey snorted coldly, not at all interested in responding to Fang Lin. Instead, he reached out one hand and grasped towards Fang Lin.

The old man’s formidable inner strength transformed into a massive skyward hand that, with a crushing momentum, quickly reached Fang Lin.

Without retreating, Fang Lin threw a punch that collided with the big hand.

Boom!

The massive hand burst immediately, while Fang Lin’s fist print vanished instantly as well.

Seeing his own attack deflected by Fang Lin, the old man in grey was taken aback. He didn’t expect Fang Lin to be this powerful that even he couldn’t defeat him with a single shot.

It is worth noting that the martial prowess of the old man in grey was the most formidable among the Crown Prince’s confidants and didn’t fall behind the Crown Prince much in status.

If it was earlier, the old man in grey was confident that he could suppress Fang Lin in just a snap of a finger, but now it seems that Fang Lin has grown into an adversary that cannot be ignored.

“Old man, why are you so irritable at such an old age? You want to fight right away?” Fang Lin sneered.

The old man in grey looked gloomy and was about to strike Fang Lin again.

Just then, the old man in grey suddenly turned to look in another direction, his face reflecting more apprehension.

A figure was seeing dashing, a young man shrouded in terrifying power of the Five Elements.

Undefeatable Naughty Man was here!

“Zhou Yishui, where are you hiding? Come out and fight with me!” The moment Wang Erdan appeared, he shouted loudly, appearing overly arrogant.

Suddenly, Wang Erdan spotted Fang Lin and paused. Then he rushed towards Fang Lin fiercely.

“Bastard! You stole my Sacred Medicine!” Wang Erdan aimed a punch at Fang Lin without hesitation.

Great laughter came from Fang Lin. He also threw out a punch, colliding with Wang Erdan’s fist.

Thud!

There was a dull thud, and Fang Lin stepped back while Wang Erdan staggered. His eyes flashed with surprise.

“It’s only been a few days, and you’ve become so powerful? Is that Sacred Medicine really that magical?” Wang Erdan exclaimed in disbelief.

Fang Lin rubbed his fist, feeling a chill in his heart. Even though his own strength had increased so much, he still did not gain any advantage when fighting Wang Erdan. This proved how twisted the latter’s strength was.

“Forget about that; Zhou Yishui is on the verge of acquiring a significant opportunity inside. We can’t just let him have it that easily.” Fang Lin said to Wang Erdan.
