The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Killing Intent Battlefield

Having said that, Fang Lin patted the Nine Palace Bag and pulled out the blood-colored longsword, thrusting it forward.

Upon seeing the blood-colored longsword, everyone was taken aback, their faces showing a hint of apprehension. They had all witnessed how Fang Lin had intimidated Zhou Yishui with this sword before.

Now, Fang Lin bringing out the sword was undoubtedly his attempt to deter them, to prevent them from acting rashly.

Indeed, it was effective and everyone was on high alert, not daring to underestimate Fang Lin anymore.

Fang Lin wore a smirk on his face as he looked at the others, not uttering a word.

“Even though we have joined hands this time and have made it through the crisis, there’s no need for us to turn against each other now,” Mei Yingxue started, lightening the atmosphere.

Chi Yunxiao and Dugu Ruoxu both nodded, though they did not seem pleased.

Wang Erdan, on the other hand, seemed quite interested in the blood-colored longsword, “Is this sword really that powerful?”

Fang Lin smiled, “You could give it a try.”

Wang Erdan quickly shook his head, “Forget it. I won’t try. Even Zhou Yishui had no chance against it, I wouldn’t stand a chance either.”

With that, the tension lessened. Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t completely certain of himself, as the blood-colored longsword, although powerful, was difficult to control. It would be embarrassing if he was unable to wield it effectively.

After a while, as everyone’s injuries had healed slightly, they flew to the passage above and traced their way back.

Although the cave had collapsed, with their skills, they could easily clear a path.

The group survived the ordeal and exited the cave, where a crowd had been waiting for them for a long time. Upon their arrival, the crowd immediately surrounded them.

“Disperse!”

The people from the Heavenly Fragrance Valley, Five Elements Sect, Shenxiao Sect, and Dugu Family quickly formed a protective ring around them, fending off others who tried to approach.

Seeing that Mei Yingxue and the others were injured and not in a good state, they escorted them quickly out of this troublesome area.

Fang Lin naturally slipped into the crowd as well. Although the Dugu Family, Five Elements Sect, and Shenxiao Sect all held hostility towards him, the Heavenly Fragrance Valley and he had no past grudges. Moreover, the Heavenly Fragrance Valley had a close relationship with the Pill Alliance. As a Pill Refiner of the Pill Alliance, no one would say anything about him accompanying them.

“My sisters, you all look so pretty,” Fang Lin said with a grin, speaking to the female disciples of the Heavenly Fragrance Valley.

The female disciples of the Heavenly Fragrance Valley were indeed beautiful. Upon hearing Fang Lin’s comment, they all gave a slight smile.

Dugu Nian was not pleased and shot Fang Lin a harsh look, before returning to the Dugu Family’s side, ignoring Fang Lin.

“Missus Dugu seems upset at you,” one of the female disciples from the Heavenly Fragrance Valley giggled.

Fang Lin made a face, “Just ignore her.”

···

The group found a secluded spot where Mei Yingxue and the others could recover from their injuries.

Fang Lin generously offered everyone some Pills. However, they hesitated before taking them, not knowing if the Pills were beneficial or poisonous. What if something went wrong after consuming them?

Mei Yingxue, being knowledgeable in Alchemy Tao, inspected the Pills and then consumed them. Not long after, she looked much better.

Seeing that Mei Yingxue had taken them, the others were also willing to consume them.

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

After three days, everyone had largely recovered. Fang Lin’s Pills played a key role, cutting their recovery time by half.

After all, they had all sustained heavy injuries this time, it was as if they had barely escaped from the clutches of death.

“Everyone, what are your plans now?” Mei Yingxue opened her mouth and asked.

Wang Erdan didn’t hesitate and grinned,” I am planning to go to an ancient battlefield. The remnants of ancient Killing Intent is present there which I can use to temper myself.”

At this, Dugu Ruoxu and Chi Yunxiao both displayed interest.

Fang Lin also showed interest at this suggestion and quickly asked, “Is there such a place? I could accompany you there.”

Wang Erdan nodded, “Sure, the ancient battlefield is big enough to accommodate many people. However, the Killing Intent there is very strong, ordinary people won’t be able to handle it.”

“Hehe, we are no ordinary people,” Fang Lin chuckled.”

“I will go too,” Chi Yunxiao added.

Soon, everyone decided to accompany Wang Erdan to the ancient battlefield he spoke of.

As their guide, Wang Erdan led the way. They encountered a number of Demon Beasts along the way. But given their combined strength, they would only face threat from a Four Transformations realm Demon Beast. Any Demon Beast below the Four Transformations realm couldn’t harm them at all.

The ancient battlefield that Wang Erdan spoke of was on the border between the outer region and deeper areas. This place was often visited by powerful Demon Beasts, so not many people dared to venture deep into it.

There were no Demon Beasts near the ancient battlefield as the residual Killing Intent from it was too overwhelming. The Demon Beasts would sustain severe damage if in contact with it, so they stayed away.

As for Human Warriors, if they were strong enough, they could use the Killing Intent from the ancient battlefield to temper themselves. This would benefit their physical strength and inner force. However, this method was fraught with danger, if they couldn’t withstand the Killing Intent, they would be injured.

On arrival at the ancient battlefield, all they could see was a wide expanse of barren, scorched earth. Skeletons littered the battlefield, some belonged to Human Warriors, others to Demon Beasts. No matter how powerful they had been in life, after countless years, all that was left were these remains.

The group hadn’t even reached the battlefield when they felt the terrifying Killing Intent that radiated from it. It was indeed astonishing.

Those at the third or fourth Heavenly Origin realm level started to display trails of blood on their bodies, injured by the Killing Intent.

“What an intense Killing Intent battlefield!” Chi Yunxiao looked amazed.

Dugu Ruoxu, Fang Lin and the others also looked intrigued. The Killing Intent was indeed strong here. Using it to refine oneself would yield great benefits, but the risk would be high too.

“I’m going in first!” Wang Erdan announced and immediately rushed towards the ancient battlefield.

Wang Erdan immediately sank to the ground as soon as he entered the battlefield, unable to fly and resorting to walking. Each step forward seemed incredibly hard, and he moved very slowly.

The rest of the group, not wanting to be left behind, quickly followed suit and entered the battlefield.

Fang Lin was the last one to step into the battlefield. As soon as he entered, an unknown force descended upon him, stripping him of his ability to fly.

“What intense Killing Intent!” Fang Lin thought, astonished by the overwhelming Killing Intent. He had barely managed to step onto the ancient battlefield and was already finding it tough.

Suddenly, he noticed movement behind him. Looking back, he saw Dugu Nian having entered the battlefield as well.
