THE EXTREME ALCHEMIST OF THE MIGHTY CAULDRON

Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Hidden Kill Reappears

The short blade came too quickly and silently; had Fang Lin not been exceptionally perceptive, sensing its approach in the blink of an eye, he would likely have fallen to this sneak attack.

In that crucial moment, Fang Lin reacted swiftly, grabbing the attacker’s wrist with a fast hand and exerting force suddenly.

“Hmm?” But immediately, Fang Lin sensed something was amiss. The attacker didn’t budge and instead broke free from Fang Lin’s grasp, the short blade slicing through the flesh of Fang Lin’s chest.

“Spirit Vein eighth level!” Fang Lin was inwardly shocked, realizing the attacker was a strong practitioner of the eighth level of Spirit Vein.

The short blade was even poisoned, and the skin Fang Lin had been cut through turned black on the spot, with wisps of dark energy crawling around the wound.

Fortunately, Fang Lin had taken a Detoxification Pill in preparation for dealing with Mu Fanzi, so although he was poisoned, its effects would not impact him significantly for a while.

The greatest threat was still the person who launched the sneak attack, whose strength was enough to pose a danger to Fang Lin.

“You’re not from the Pill Alliance,” Fang Lin said coolly, eyeing the person.

“Kill!” The person in black wasted no words and launched another attack, swift and resolute in action.

Fang Lin dared not be careless, engaging in combat with caution.

He had fought against practitioners of the Spirit Vein’s eighth level before; in Xuan City, Fang Lin triumphed over several of them.

But that was after he had taken the Demon Blood Madness Pill and with the support of the Hundred Cauldron Universe Array to exert pressure on the eighth-level Spirit Vein warriors.

Although Fang Lin’s strength had greatly improved since then, defeating a practitioner of the Spirit Vein’s eighth level still presented significant difficulty.

Regardless, the disparity in realms always existed, a chasm that could only be bridged if Fang Lin were to take the Demon Blood Madness Pill again.

However, Fang Lin wasn’t entirely lacking in confidence to fight against a Spirit Vein’s eighth-level practitioner. After all, he had grown much stronger, and his physical strength alone was formidable.

The two combatants engaged, shaking the ground, the battle fiercely intense.

The attacker in black used extremely bizarre moves, each strike aiming for vital spots, solely intent on killing Fang Lin.

Initially struggling to defend, Fang Lin relied on his formidable physique and the defense of the Kylin battle clothes, making it difficult for the black-clothed figure to threaten him significantly.

The attacker was inwardly startled. With his strength, taking down a Heavenly Origin martial artist should have been easy, yet this target proved to be unexpectedly troublesome.

“Are you from the Hidden Kill Hall!” Fang Lin asked coldly after a round of combat.

The man in black did not answer; he palm-striked, and Fang Lin countered with a punch.

Boom!!!

A loud noise rang out, and Fang Lin staggered back, while the man in black also shook unsteadily, neither gaining an advantage.

Just then, seeing Fang Lin entangled with another, Mu Fanzi took the opportunity to counterattack, with a swarm of venomous insects filling the air.

“Seeking death!” Fang Lin, enraged, brought out the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, unleashing a vast expanse of flames that surged towards Mu Fanzi.

Mu Fanzi was terrified and turned to flee, but this time he had no chance at escape.

The flames engulfed him, burning all the venomous insects to ash, and also submerged Mu Fanzi.

Had it not been for the timely activation of the Life Talisman, Mu Fanzi would have likely been reduced to ashes then and there.

Seeing Fang Lin wield such a powerful magical item, the black-clothed person grew even more wary, slapping the Nine Palace Bag and sending a black chain hurtling towards Fang Lin.

“Hmm?” Fang Lin frowned slightly; the black chain gave him an unusual feeling.

At that instant, Fang Lin swung his blood-colored longsword, attempting to sever the black chains.

Clang!

The longsword struck the black chains, yet to his astonishment, it failed to cut them. This took Fang Lin by surprise.

The blood-colored longsword had always been unbeatable, never before encountering something it couldn’t sever. But today, it had been thwarted by a simple black chain.

“Hmph!” The man in black snorted coldly as the chains, like serpents, twisted towards Fang Lin who, not daring to be careless, kept retreating.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Unexpectedly, a compass appeared behind him and came crashing down on Fang Lin’s head.

Cursing inwardly, Fang Lin unleashed the Kylin Fist and smashed it onto the compass.

The compass flew back while Fang Lin’s form shuddered, his arm trembling slightly. Clearly, the power of the compass was formidable, and Fang Lin found it somewhat difficult to defend against.

As the chains continued their assault, Fang Lin didn’t wish to tangle further and kept retreating.

“Stop!” The compass flew forward, casting a light curtain that immediately hindered Fang Lin’s movements, making it nearly impossible for him to act.

In this critical moment, Fang Lin opened his Spirit Eyes and utilized the power of spirit eyes to counter the suppression of the compass, finally regaining his mobility, yet he was still significantly affected.

The chains struck, winding around Fang Lin’s waist.

“You’re already dead,” the man in black said coldly, seemingly passing a death sentence on Fang Lin.

Fang Lin gritted his teeth as the blood-colored longsword erupted with astonishing radiance and once again slashed at the black chains.

With a clang, the black chains were finally severed, and Fang Lin quickly broke free. He then slapped the Nine Palace Bag, and the Boundless Stone whistled away.

The man in black swung his short blade, trying to fend off the incoming Boundless Stone.

However, to his surprise, the prowess of the Boundless Stone far exceeded his expectations. It was as if it had been struck by an immeasurable mountain. The man in black was sent flying backward, spewing blood from his mouth as his short blade completely shattered.

Seeing this, Fang Lin wasted no time, extracting an ancient spear and hurling it directly at the man in black.

With the madness of a killer in its thrust and the sound of tearing wind, the ancient spear pinned the man in black to the ground with force.

Meanwhile, the compass that had been struck by the blood-colored longsword fell and lay in the sand, losing its luster.

The man in black, nailed to the ground by the ancient spear, couldn’t move at all. Blood constantly flowed from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with terror.

Fang Lin breathed heavily for a moment. Had he not been in possession of more treasures, he would have been at a great disadvantage this time. The martial artist from Hidden Kill Hall was indeed powerful and clearly very experienced, but he had underestimated Fang Lin’s strength.

No wonder, any martial artist at the eighth level of the Spirit Vein, going against a Heavenly Origin martial artist, would likely find it too simple and inevitably become a little careless.

It was this slight carelessness that gave Fang Lin his opportunity and made this black-robed person pay a heavy price.

“Though you have escaped this time, you are on our hall’s hit list, and someone stronger than me will come to take your life,” the man in black said, blood trickling from his mouth as his eyes fixed on Fang Lin.

Fang Lin, expressionless, raised his sword and brought it down, decapitating the man.

With the death of the man in black, the compass seemed to sense it and scurried away, catching Fang Lin somewhat off guard.

“Can people from Hidden Kill Hall even come here? Is there someone from Hidden Kill Hall within the Pill Alliance, or has Hidden Kill Hall employed some kind of hidden technique?” Although he had killed the black-robed man, Fang Lin did not feel at ease.

“Hm?” All of a sudden, the body of the man in black underwent an unexpected transformation.
