The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1712: Chapter 1809: The Battle with the Demon Beast

“Let this old man give it a try first.” Nangong Shoujian said.

Fang Lin nodded, and then watched as Nangong Shoujian’s finger moved. Suddenly, many strange and peculiar longswords appeared behind him. Among them was one emitting a blue light, which wasn’t noticeable among the many swords but used a bamboo pole as a scabbard, looking somewhat incongruous.

This sword, named Bamboo Shadow, ranked thirteenth on the famous swords list announced by the Sealing Sword Pavilion of yesteryear.

Though ranked at thirteenth, almost all of the top ten swords of that edition were ancient swords. Bamboo Shadow, not being an ancient sword, could only be relegated to the thirteenth, but even compared to the top eight or nine, Bamboo Shadow would not be the least inferior.

Nangong Shoujian cherished Bamboo Shadow greatly and rarely used this famous sword, often relying on other longswords in battles.

“Go!” Nangong Shoujian shouted lightly, and seven longswords shot out from behind him, carrying fierce Sword Qi straight towards the Demon Beast.

The Sword Qi rolled like clouds. Although these seven longswords weren’t famous swords, they were made of extraordinary materials and could be considered excellent weapons.

Having been wielded by Nangong Shoujian, the one-time Sword Head, their power was naturally extraordinary.

The seven swords soared like clouds, heading straight for the giant eye on the Demon Beast’s head.

In Nangong Shoujian’s view, since this Demon Beast had such a large eye, perhaps that was its weakness. Attempting to attack the eye might yield remarkable effects.

The Demon Beast roared, waving ten arms at once, blocking all seven incoming longswords.

“Hmph!” Nangong Shoujian snorted lightly. The seven longswords blocked by the Demon Beast erupted with even more astounding aura, cutting fiercely into the arms of the Demon Beast.

But in the next moment, Nangong Shoujian’s expression changed, as did Fang Lin and Zhong Wuwei, taken aback.

The Demon Beast’s arms were completely unscathed, and the seven longswords could not harm it in the slightest, leaving not even a mark on its body.

“It seems this Demon Beast’s physical body is extremely formidable.” Fang Lin muttered.

The Demon Beast seemed thoroughly enraged by Nangong Shoujian’s actions. Before the seven longswords could fly back, they were completely ensnared by the Demon Beast’s arms.

Crack! Crack!

Then, the seven longswords were all crushed into fragments, utterly destroyed.

At the sight of this, Nangong Shoujian’s brow furrowed, and behind him, a large sword of ancient bronze color flew out, carrying a majestic aura like a mountain, slicing directly at the Demon Beast.

The sword glow was like a mountain, cleaving it head-on!

The Demon Beast was struck by the sword glow, its body retreating continuously, letting out an even angrier roar, as its huge eye stared fiercely at the ancient bronze sword.

Buzz!

A black light swept out from that eye, directly enveloping the ancient bronze sword in the sky, and then it was devoured by the Demon Beast.

Nangong Shoujian was greatly shocked; this ancient bronze sword was a genuine ancient artifact, incredibly hard and not considered a famous sword. But to be eaten just like that by the Demon Beast was unimaginable.

“Damn it!” Nangong Shoujian, after the shock, was furious. He cherished his swords like his life, and losing that ancient bronze sword made him very angry.

At that moment, Bamboo Shadow flew out from behind Nangong Shoujian and was grabbed by him.

“I refuse to believe it. Could this Demon Beast indeed be invulnerable to all swords and weapons?” Nangong Shoujian said, drawing the famous Bamboo Shadow sword from its bamboo scabbard.

Twang!

The sword light flared, and both Fang Lin and Zhong Wuwei seemed to hear the rustling sound of bamboo leaves rubbing against each other, as if they were standing in a vast bamboo forest.

Nangong Shoujian lightly waved Bamboo Shadow, and thousands of strands of blue light descended from the sky, gathering on this sword.

Bang!!!

The next moment, the blue light, carrying terrifying Sword Qi, rushed straight at the Demon Beast.

Roar!!!!

The Demon Beast let out a roar, seeming not only angry but also like a cry of pain.

Two of the Demon Beast’s arms were cleanly severed, and losing these two arms made the Demon Beast writhe in pain, as a faint glimmer appeared in the giant eye on its head.

“Good!” Fang Lin and Zhong Wuwei both exclaimed in approval. Since Bamboo Shadow severed two of the Demon Beast’s arms, it showed that the Demon Beast wasn’t entirely impervious to swords and could indeed be defeated.

Nangong Shoujian also looked pleased. After all, he was using his most beloved Bamboo Shadow; if it still couldn’t hurt the Demon Beast, it would have been quite embarrassing.

But at this moment, the Demon Beast picked up the two arms from the ground, attaching them back to the stumps, and moments later, the arms were reunited with the beast as if nothing had happened.

Nangong Shoujian looked embarrassed, while Fang Lin and Zhong Wuwei, not caring about the old Sword Head’s awkward expression, watched the fully restored Demon Beast with somewhat grave expressions.

“It seems this Demon Beast isn’t easy to deal with.” Fang Lin said.

Nangong Shoujian was frustrated; he was the last Sword Head of the Nine Countries and had genuine skills. How could he be unable to handle a Demon Beast of unknown origin?

Just as he was about to strike again, Fang Lin stopped him.

“Let me try.” Fang Lin said, deciding to act himself.

Nangong Shoujian did not insist, knowing well that compared to Fang Lin’s current strength, he was indeed way behind.

Fang Lin looked at the approaching Demon Beast and waved his hand, causing eight Ancient Lamps of Flame God to float in front of him.

“Not afraid of blades, but what about fire?” Fang Lin chuckled, and suddenly a sea of flames surged forth like a tide, rushing towards the Demon Beast.

When the Skyfire swept in, the Demon Beast evidently sensed danger, and the giant eye released a swathe of black light to stand before it.

The Skyfire collided with the black light, and the blazing heat exploded, instantly raising the temperature between heaven and earth.

But Fang Lin noticed that the black light was actually absorbing the power of the Skyfire, causing the initially fierce flames to gradually weaken.

This truly surprised Fang Lin; could this Demon Beast be so mighty that even the Skyfire couldn’t restrain it?

Fang Lin’s expression grew serious. If even the Skyfire couldn’t contain this Demon Beast, its threat would be vast indeed.

“Look closely, the Demon Beast is not entirely fireproof.” At this moment, Zhong Wuwei suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Fang Lin and Nangong Shoujian focused, and sure enough, the Demon Beast, although defended by the black light against the Skyfire, had a body that gradually reddened, especially the ten arms which seemed slightly scorched.

Seeing this, Fang Lin immediately intensified the flames, the Skyfire pouring endlessly towards the Demon Beast.

The three did not notice an eyeball quietly appearing a hundred miles behind them, coldly watching Fang Lin among the trio.
