The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Half-Demon Body

Fang Lin snorted coldly, the phantom of Breaking Peak reemerged again, colliding brutally with Gu Hanshan like a raging bull.

In the next moment, Fang Lin retreated with a spray of blood from his mouth. Gu Hanshan also had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth but didn’t retreat. The blood-chain from his back flew out, continuously bombarding the phantom of Breaking Peak.

Even though the defense of the Breaking Peak phantom was astonishing, the blood-chain from Gu Hanshan’s back was equally powerful. A fierce attack made the Breaking Peak phantom appear somewhat dim.

With a surge of surprise, Fang Lin realized that Gu Hanshan’s strength had actually increased massively since their last meeting. He himself was already at the ninth layer of the Earth Element realm, yet he still had no advantage over him.

On the other hand, Gu Hanshan was likewise astonished. He and Fang Lin had fought in the Endless Dungeon, and it was hard to differentiate who was superior. Due to the changes in the dungeon, the fight ended without determining the winner.

Now, Gu Hanshan’s strength greatly surpassed his past after fusing with the flesh of a Demon Beast and training hard in Hidden Kill Hall. He was confident that he could defeat Fang Lin, only to find that Fang Lin had improved just as much as he had.

Still, Gu Hanshan remained fully confident because he had been preparing for a long time to kill Fang Lin.

“Even if you are in the ninth layer of the Earth Element, you can’t change anything today!” Gu Hanshan roared, throwing a punch with his left arm filled with tremendous Demon Qi, as though a Demon Beast was shrieking and roaring.

Fang Lin’s face remained emotionless as he swung the giant bone stick, colliding it with Gu Hanshan’s fist.

An explosive sound was heard, and Fang Lin was forced to retreat again while Gu Hanshan remained unmoved and followed up with another attack targeting Fang Lin.

“What a powerful punch!” Fang Lin furrowed his brow. Gu Hanshan’s transformation made him significantly stronger than any normal martial artist with the power of a Demon Beast.

Gu Hanshan kept attacking, while Fang Lin defended himself with the giant bone stick. Even though the bone stick was unusually durable, it started to show a minor crack due to the relentless assault.

Seeing the tiny crack on the bone stick, Fang Lin let out a quiet internal sigh. Since he obtained it, it had served him well during fights with numerous enemies without any damage, but now it was developing a crack under his confrontation with Gu Hanshan.

Although the fissure was minuscule, its existence indicated the tremendous power behind Gu Hanshan’s punch.

Realizing this, Fang Lin knew he couldn’t keep blocking with the bone stick any longer or his favorite weapon would be destroyed. He promptly put it away into his bag.

Watching this, Gu Hanshan gave a grim sneer, and threw a punch directly at Fang Lin’s face.

He wanted to crush Fang Lin’s head, the only thing that would relieve his hatred!

Fang Lin’s eyes flickered, choosing to not evade. He retaliated with a punch of equal power.

“Seeking death!” Gu Hanshan burst out in laughter. In the next moment, both of their fists collided, like two giant stones striking against each other.

Bang!!!

With a muffled thud, Gu Hanshan’s smile froze. He felt an unimaginable massive force coming from Fang Lin’s fist, throwing him off his feet and sending him flying backward.

Crack!

To make matters worse, Gu Hanshan’s left arm started to contort weirdly and was actually broken directly from the collision.

Fang Lin stood still with his punching stance, his expression cool and composed without a hint of surprise.

The talent of Breaking Peak could completely rebound an attack back to the attacker. Fang Lin just used this talent, completely returning Gu Hanshan’s punch with all its power.

In other words, Gu Hanshan was injured by his own punch. His power may be terrifying, but it resulted in a broken arm.

Gu Hanshan fell to the ground. Blood continued trickling out from his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief. However, it only bolstered his craziness.

“You indeed are the opponent I must kill, only then will I not be disappointed!” Gu Hanshan got back to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his left arm, and much to everyone’s surprise, his arm was back to its original state.

Watching this, Fang Lin’s pupils contracted slightly. It was as if Gu Hanshan had the physique of a Demon Beast, capable of rapid recovery.

Despite Gu Hanshan’s grotesque appearance resembling neither man nor beast, Fang Lin had to admit, this half-Demon body was truly powerful, making him quite trouble.

“You can’t handle him alone, I’ll lend a hand.” The Qingyi woman who had been quiet at the side suddenly spoke to Gu Hanshan.

Gu Hanshan instantly shot her a furious glare, “If you dare to step in, I’ll kill you!”

The Qingyi woman turned pale with anger, but she seemed to be somewhat in fear of Gu Hanshan and didn’t utter a word.

Seeing this, Fang Lin frowned, thinking that Gu Hanshan was much more formidable than he had thought if even this Qingyi woman was afraid of him.

Meanwhile, the battle in the sky had become even more intense. Elder Su was fighting three opponents single-handedly. Despite his unrivaled bravery, he was now at a disadvantage, completely suppressed by the three top-notch fighters from Hidden Kill Hall.

Elder Su had a serious look on his face. He knew he was no match for the three Heavenly Origin powerhouses but saw little chance of them killing him either.

As such, Elder Su was simultaneously tackling the three and fleeing towards the distance.

He was not abandoning Fang Lin. Rather, he was trying to create a bigger commotion to alert the people in Black Cauldron City, which would then bring reinforcements.

Moreover, Elder Su understood, given Fang Lin’s exceptional strength, that he would likely be okay as long as no Heavenly Origin powerhouses directly attacked him.

Therefore, Elder Su had to stay engaged with the three Heavenly Origin powerhouses for as long as possible to prevent them from targeting Fang Lin.

In essence, Elder Su was risking his life to create a window of survival for Fang Lin.

“Let’s go again!” Gu Hanshan charged once more. The chains of flesh from his back flew out, forming an imposing net of chains, blocking every possible escape route for Fang Lin.

This was to restrict Fang Lin’s movement.

Having fought with Fang Lin, Gu Hanshan knew that Fang Lin was adept at a formidable movement technique. As he himself had no advantage in terms of movement techniques, he had to confine Fang Lin’s movements, and restrict his Nine Heavens Step Skill.

Fang Lin’s countenance was solemn. This move indeed worked; the Nine Heavens Step Skill, though clever, could not play a significant role in limited space.

However, Fang Lin had other methods that he hadn’t used yet.

Fang Lin slapped the Nine Palace Bag and drew out a blood-colored longsword.

Seeing the blood-colored longsword, Gu Hanshan was immediately panicked. Back then, he had witnessed the power of this sword in the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard. It was a relic of the Demon Saint, and it was extremely strange and terrifying.

At this moment, seeing Fang Lin draw out this blood-colored longsword, Gu Hanshan involuntarily hesitated with fear.
