The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 482: Burnt Alive

Black flames carrying a terrifying aura surged towards Zhao Shenji, like a ferocious tidal wave.

Zhao Shenji’s face changed, but at this moment, his body was fortified with the power of the Demon Blood Adhesion, making him incredibly strong. Therefore, he chose to endure the black flames head-on.

“What can mere flames do to me?” Zhao Shenji roared. As the Demonic Qi around him surged, he charged directly into the flames with his bare body.

Han Xiaoxing retreated, with a black lotus continuously floating in front of her, endlessly releasing black flames, as if it intended to incinerate everything in sight.

Zhao Shenji was entrapped within the black flames. Although his body was extraordinarily mighty and protected by the Demonic Qi, these black flames were equally extraordinary.

“Damn it!” Zhao Shenji cursed under his breath, feeling an intense pain. The black flames were akin to Bone Maggots, persistently burning his flesh and skin.

Anyone could see that multiple parts of Zhao Shenji’s body were tainted by black flames. Despite the boiling Demonic Qi, it still couldn’t extinguish these flames.

However, Zhao Shenji was indeed terrifying. His body, tempered by the Demon Blood, had already surpassed the level of an Earth Element Martial Artist, even stronger than an average practitioner of the Heavenly Origin.

“It’s useless, these flames may be peculiar, but they’re not enough to burn me to death!” Zhao Shenji roared.

“Then I will keep burning you until you die!” Han Xiaoxing coldly stated, as the black lotus floating in front of her quietly bloomed.

Boom!

A fist entirely composed of black flames emerged and relentlessly smashed into Zhao Shenji, who was entrapped within the flames.

This hit gravely injured Zhao Shenji. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, getting tainted with even more black flames.

The black fiery fist fell again. Zhao Shenji roared, returning the attack with a punch of his own.

Bang!

The black fist crumbled, turning into clusters of black sparks that fell onto Zhao Shenji’s body.

“Die!” sensing something wrong, Zhao Shenji realized it would be disastrous to remain within the flames. Hence, he immediately pulled out an ancient mirror from his Nine Palace Bag.

As soon as the ancient mirror appeared, it flew into the sky, radiating a milky-white glow. A strong suction force arose, continually drawing the black flames into the mirror.

Han Xiaoxing scoffed, extending her jade hand, which transformed into a huge purplish hand and tightly grabbed the mirror.

Crack!

The purple hand exerted force, instantly shattering the ancient mirror, which didn’t manage to absorb much of the black flames.

Zhao Shenji gritted his teeth. At this point, his flesh began to rot and the pain became increasingly intense. Even with the protection of the Demonic Qi, he was in unbearable agony.

A layer of light appeared from Zhao Shenji’s Spirit Eye, enveloping his body and temporarily blocking the invasion of the black flames.

Boom!

The next moment, Zhao Shenji seized the opportunity to break free from the surrounding black flames, assailing Han Xiaoxing with a fierce punch.

But at that moment, the black lotus floating in front of Han Xiaoxing unexpectedly rushed into Zhao Shenji’s body.

Zhao Shenji’s movement instantly stopped, and the color drained from his face.

“Ahh!” Zhao Shenji kept screaming. It seemed as if he was undergoing immense suffering. Blood trickled from his orifices, along with black flames seeping out.

Everyone was shocked. What just happened?

Over at Yun Country’s royal family, Zhao Zhenlong couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He wanted to step forward to the rescue, but Han Luoyun intervened.

“Get out of my way!” Zhao Zhenlong roared, fiercely attacking Han Luoyun, his heart unbearably anxious.

However, Han Luoyun maintained a cold expression, showing no mercy, effectively preventing Zhao Zhenlong from rushing to Zhao Shenji’s rescue.

“Master He, why aren’t you taking action?” Zhao Zhenlong, being encumbered by Han Luoyun, immediately yelled at He Qiannian, who was standing idly by.

He Qiannian furrowed his eyebrows, reluctant at heart, but still decided to step forward.

“Old He, don’t forget the rules!” Yang Jianye rushed out, blocking He Qiannian.

For a moment, the four powerful figures clashed with each other. The most anxious of all was naturally Zhao Zhenlong. His son’s screams were incessant, but he was held back by Han Luoyun.

Nobody would have thought that things would turn out this way. The match between Han Xiaoxing and Zhao Shenji had caused all four mighty figures to take action.

“This is a fight to the death. Trying to help is rather underhanded, isn’t it?” At this moment, Mu Hongchen also stepped forward. To everyone’s surprise, she allied with Han Luoyun, forming a united front against the frantic Zhao Zhenlong.

“You, Mu! You’re looking for death!” Zhao Zhenlong’s eyes were practically splitting with fury. Han Luoyun alone was already giving him a headache, and now even Mu Hongchen was against him. This was an outright threat to his life.

“Han Luoyun, you owe me a favor.” Mu Hongchen flirted with Han Luoyun as she came to his aid.

But Han Luoyun paid her no attention, concentrating on dealing with Zhao Zhenlong.

“Quick! Let’s save the prince!”

At this point, various members of the Yun Country’s royal family charged forwards, trying to save Zhao Shenji.

“Damn it! Are we invisible?” Fang Lin cursed, leading the Qian Country’s royal family and the Purple Mist Sect to the front.

Fang Lin was the most ferocious, wielding his massive bone club, hitting several members of the Yun Country’s royal family flying with several strikes.

The scene slipped into chaos. This was arguably the most disastrous situation ever at a tri-country competition.

The spectators were dumbfounded, it took a long time for them to react to the situation.

“Oh my god! Is this a war between the three countries?”

“What on earth is going on? How did it suddenly become like this?”

“Five top figures are engaging in battle, truly a rare sight.”

···

Amidst the chaos, everyone was fighting against each other, yet the area around Han Xiaoxing and Zhao Shenji remained undisturbed.

Han Xiaoxing looked at Zhao Shenji, who was writhing in agony on the ground, with a cold gaze, her face devoid of sympathy or pity.

Zhao Shenji was indeed close to death. There was a flame burning inside his body, incinerating everything from his internal organs to his meridians and bones.

The pain was indescribable. Zhao Shenji’s insides were almost entirely burnt. Yet, due to his Demon Blood Adhesion, his vitality was unbelievable. Even in his current state, he was still alive.

Zhao Shenji struggled to lift his head, his gaze filled with spite and despair as he glared at Han Xiaoxing.

A moment later, his eyeballs were burnt away. Black flames filled his eye sockets.

A black lotus flew out from Zhao Shenji’s body, returning to Han Xiaoxing’s left eye. Han Xiaoxing closed her eyes for a moment and reopened them, they were back to normal.

And Zhao Shenji had been burned alive.

“Ahhh! My son!” Zhao Zhenlong let out a mournful and furious roar, completely losing his sanity and recklessly fighting Han Luoyun to the death.

Boom!

At that moment, the entire Virtual Sky Sect relics shook. Following that, a stream of dark light emerged, enveloping an area with a radius of a hundred miles.
