The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 590: Chapter 590: The Scarlet Longsword Displays Its Might Again

The appearance of the King of Ghost Bats cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts, causing Steward Shen to feel a sense of despair on the spot.

A Demon Beast of the Four Transformations realm was completely beyond the capability of everyone present.

Only a Martial Artist in the Spirit Vein realm could contend with such a level of Demon Beast. Anyone below the Spirit Vein realm would find themselves severely outmatched.

“We’re done for! We’re all going to die here.” A royal youngster slumped on the ground as if ready to accept death.

Everyone else was pale-faced. This was the greatest crisis they had encountered since entering the Hundred Beast Mountain, with seemingly no chance of survival.

After all, there were no Spirit Vein realm powerhouses among those who entered the Hundred Beast Mountain this time. Because if a Spirit Vein realm Martial Artist were to step inside, it would catch the attention of several Demon Kings inside the mountain, leading to serious consequences.

Zhou Xiruo bit her lip without hesitation and used her golden bell artifact, enveloping everyone under a golden bell light curtain.

The King of Ghost Bats let out a strange laugh, seeming to be mocking everyone’s overestimation of their abilities.

The swarm of Green Winged Bats around them ceased attacking, but also didn’t disperse, essentially hemming everyone in.

“What should we do?” Zhou Zhishui looked towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin looked back at her: “What else can we do? Use your lifesaving item again.”

Zhou Zhishui gave a bitter smile: “Even that golden token may not be able to kill the King of Ghost Bats with one strike.”

Her words held truth. The King of Ghost Bats was a Four Transformations realm Demon Beast, equivalent to a Spirit Vein realm powerhouse.

The golden token of Zhou Zhishui was made by her father. It contained the strike of a Spirit Vein powerhouse, thus it could kill any Demon Beast below the Four Transformations realm. However, against the Four Transformations realm King of Ghost Bats, at best it could only wound it, killing it was unlikely.

Fang Lin took out the longsword he had taken from Zhou Zhishui: “What about this sword?”

Zhou Zhishui shook her head again: “The power of this sword is not much stronger than the golden token.”

As they were talking, the King of Ghost Bats made its move.

It swung its wide wings, a terrifying Demon Qi poured out and fiercely smashed into the golden bell array.

With just this one strike, Zhou Xiruo screamed, the glow of the golden bell artifact in her hand dimmed instantly, and the array collapsed.

Although it blocked the attack of the King of Ghost Bats, Zhou Xiruo’s condition clearly prevented her from activating the golden bell artifact again.

The Demon Beast of the Four Transformations realm was simply too powerful. While the golden bell artifact certainly had strong defences, if the user didn’t possess enough power, he couldn’t truly unleash the artifact’s full potential.

“Is it really over?” Steward Shen sighed. He still had some tricks up his sleeve, but facing the boundless power of the King of Ghost Bats, none of them would work. Even if he used them, it was like trying to stop a car with a mantis’s arm.

Fang Lin squinted his eyes, looking up at the King of Ghost Bats. He wasn’t in despair.

The King of Ghost Bats didn’t rush to make a move. There was a hint of humanoid mockery in its eyes, seeming to derive great pleasure from everyone’s despair.

However, it noticed Fang Lin. Seeing this human, who was as insignificant as an ant, not showing any fear, it became furious.

The King of Ghost Bats charged straight at everyone, its massive body causing numerous trees to collapse and its terrifying pressure made it hard for everyone to breathe.

“No choice but to reveal a trump card.” Seeing this, Fang Lin sighed and slapped the Nine Palace Bag.

Hum!

A longsword flew out, bringing with it a surge of bloody smell and an aura of slaughter, charging straight towards the King of Ghost Bats.

This sword, imbued with limitless blood-red color, was a treasure of the Demon Saint.

Upon the emergence of the blood-colored longsword, the King of Ghost Bats was immediately stricken with indescribable fear. Having acute senses, it could detect the terrifying aura carried by the sword.

What kind of aura was it?

For the King of Ghost Bats, the aura from the blood-colored longsword made it tremble, filling it with immeasurable awe.

Without any hesitation, the King of Ghost Bats immediately flew upwards, trying to get away from the blood-colored longsword.

Not only it, but the surrounding Green Winged Bats also began frantically fleeing. However, in an instant, their bodies exploded, turning into a mist of blood that persistently merged into the blood-colored longsword.

The King of Ghost Bats shrieked continuously as it finally sensed what kind of aura this sword contained—the aura of a Demon Saint.

Although it was not the aura of the current generation’s Demon Saint, the pressure of the Demon Saint’s power was undoubtedly genuine.

The King of Ghost Bats trembled in fear. It never imagined that these humans, whom it considered as insignificant as ants, would possess the sword of a Demon Saint.

As the blood-colored longsword approached, the King of Ghost Bats, realizing it could not escape, resorted to its most formidable technique, trying to ward off the sword with its endless Demon Qi.

The desperate strike of a Demon Beast at the Four Transformations realm was considered extremely terrifying, capable of tearing a Martial Artist at the same realm level of the Spirit Vein into pieces.

That dreadful Demon Qi, even though it was to resist the attack of the blood-colored longsword, still made everyone below unable to withstand. They all spat out blood.

Regrettably, even if this Demon Qi was twice as powerful, it still could not stop the attack of the blood-colored longsword.

Under the terrifying sweep of the sword Qi, the head of the King of Ghost Bats was pierced directly, and its body’s Demon Qi disappeared instantly.

Not only that, the blood-colored longsword directly drilled into the body of the King of Ghost Bats, beginning to crazily absorb its Demon Blood.

Fang Lin had seen this scene many times. This blood-colored longsword was a monster hellbent on absorbing blood, sucking any blood it could find.

The others who witnessed this stood there, their mouths agape in shock–as if petrified. They were unable to speak for a long time.

“How… how is this possible?” Steward Shen managed to blurt out these words after a while.

No wonder, such a powerful King of Ghost Bats was murdered just like that? Wasn’t this preposterous?

However, the fact was just as such. Although the King of Ghost Bats was strong, the blood-colored longsword was even more terrifying. In front of this blood-colored longsword, the King of Ghost Bats was as helpless as a platter of vegetables.

The body of the King of Ghost Bats visibly withered away, its Demon Blood insanely consumed by the blood-colored longsword.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Fang Lin. There was a new level of awe in their eyes.

In their view, Fang Lin was exceedingly mysterious. He actually possessed such a frightening treasure. With this sword and the golden-haired puppy’s strange abilities, wouldn’t Fang Lin be able to move freely through the Hundred Beast Mountain?

Boom!!!

The body of the King of Ghost Bats fell to the ground, already dried up like a mummy. Only a layer of skin was wrapped around its skeletal frame.

A red light emerged, the blood-colored longsword flew out from the body of the King of Ghost Bats, and directly dove into Fang Lin’s Nine Palace Bag.

Fang Lin let out a yell and rushed towards the body of the King of Ghost Bats. He examined its corpse with a frantic expression.

“Damn it, even the Demon Core is gone!” Fang Lin’s mouth twitched. The blood-colored longsword was quite thorough and even swallowed the most valuable Demon Core from the King of Ghost Bats.

At that moment, a pitch-black chime echoed from afar. Carrying formidable pressure, it headed straight toward Fang Lin.
