The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1732: Chapter 1829: Sun Yunling

“Fang Lin, I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time.”

On the lone peak, a clear voice rang out, causing Fang Lin, who was beneath the mountain, to suddenly halt his steps, frowning as he looked up towards the peak.

He saw a person descend from the lone peak, like a feather swaying down to the ground, without a sound, not even stirring a speck of dust.

This was a young man, with very gentle features, and a delicate beauty in his brows that even many women lacked. His posture was also quite upright, just looking at him was pleasing to the eye.

He wasn’t exactly handsome, but a very good-looking young man, and his rare gentle and delicate appearance could generally be described as androgynous.

Fang Lin looked at this person with a fair amount of caution. This guy had blocked his path for no apparent reason, claiming to have waited for several days. Obviously, he was here for him.

Especially from this person, Fang Lin sensed an aura completely different from that of ordinary martial artists.

This aura was extremely obscure and mysterious, as if this person was born to be more noticeable than anyone else, inspiring awe in everyone who faced him.

Fang Lin felt the same!

The young man showed no intention of attacking, simply watching Fang Lin with his graceful eyes, which were clear and bright, without a hint of killing intent, instead revealing considerable goodwill.

Of course, Fang Lin wasn’t naive enough to believe that just because this person appeared pleasant, he was inherently kind. The human heart is the most unfathomable thing in the world.

Even under the finest exterior, there might be a filthy heart.

Not to mention that Fang Lin was currently in dire straits; this person’s sudden appearance here couldn’t have no ulterior motives, Fang Lin wouldn’t believe that in a thousand years.

“Who are you?” Fang Lin asked in a low voice, inwardly bitter. He had just driven off Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan, now entirely devoid of cultivation, yet facing an unknown foe or friend, what could Fang Lin do?

The gentle young man smiled slightly, dimples appearing on his cheeks, his smile even more beautiful than many people of extraordinary appearance.

“My name is Sun Yunling,” said the gentle young man.

Fang Lin frowned, quite certain he had never heard this name before, and currently, neither in the Nine Countries nor the Seven Seas was there such a person.

Sun Yunling seemed to have thought of something suddenly and said, “Oh, others like to call me Elder Sun.”

Fang Lin’s expression changed immediately, and his heart fiercely jolted.

Elder Sun? Isn’t that the person Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan mentioned? Also known as the deputy of the Hidden Kill Hall.

“You’re also from the Hidden Kill Hall?” Fang Lin asked coldly, though he showed little hostility or panic on his face, instead appearing quite composed.

Sun Yunling smiled and nodded, “Yes, my position in the Hidden Kill Hall is quite high.”

Fang Lin cursed inwardly, this Sun guy is already a deputy in the Hidden Kill Hall, how could his position not be high? Even Zhang Lao’er, with a half-step Immortal cultivation, calls him Elder Sun.

“Blocking my path, intending to kill me too?” Fang Lin asked blandly, as though indifferent to life or death.

Sun Yunling tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, “Actually, I don’t really wish to kill you.”

Fang Lin laughed, “According to you, you don’t want to kill me, but are you still going to make a move against me?”

Sun Yunling nodded earnestly, appearing very sincere.

Fang Lin sneered, thinking this Sun guy was deliberately putting on a show.

“Since you don’t want to kill me, why don’t we find a place to have a drink? Chat about life and ideals?” Fang Lin suggested.

Sun Yunling’s eyes lit up, “That sounds good.”

Fang Lin rolled his eyes, is this guy really a weirdo?

But Sun Yunling shook his head, saying, “No, I know you’re a tough person, our Hidden Kill Hall has already lost many men to you, if I listen to you, I might end up falling into your hands too.”

“So what do you want? You say you don’t want to kill me but are afraid I have ulterior motives? Otherwise, just make a move already.” Fang Lin appeared unbothered.

Sun Yunling saw Fang Lin as if he disregarded life and death, and with a smile, he said, “I was worried Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan couldn’t handle you, so I waited here for your arrival. I originally planned to wait two more days, and if you didn’t show up, I would have left, but here you are.”

Fang Lin remained silent, his intuition telling him that this Sun Yunling was different from Zhang Lao’er and Wu Laosan, not someone easily dealt with.

Sun Yunling continued, “Although my rank in the Hidden Kill Hall is high, I’ve not killed many people, and there’s not much in this world worth my effort. But you, Fang Lin, interest me, yet I don’t want to kill you.”

Sun Yunling looked troubled, “But I can’t not kill you, it’s really giving me a headache.”

“Why don’t we spar a couple of moves for show, and then you pretend you couldn’t win against me and let me go? This way you won’t have to kill me, and you can still contribute to the Hidden Kill Hall,” Fang Lin suggested offhandedly.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yunling seemed to agree with Fang Lin’s casual suggestion.

“Good idea!” Sun Yunling nodded, feeling suddenly enlightened, as if he found Fang Lin’s suggestion very feasible.

Fang Lin looked puzzled, “You agree?”

Sun Yunling hummed twice.

Fang Lin’s expression grew stranger, “You’ll really let me go?”

Sun Yunling said, “Not exactly let you go, just like you said, we’ll exchange a couple of moves for show, then you beat me and leave.”

After saying that, Sun Yunling assumed a stance, beckoning Fang Lin.

“I can’t use any cultivation now, isn’t this clearly taking advantage?” Fang Lin protested slightly dissatisfied.

Sun Yunling acknowledged it and then tilted his head thoughtfully.

“How about this, I won’t use any cultivation either, we’ll just fight with our physical bodies, it’s all for show anyway,” Sun Yunling said.

“Alright!” Fang Lin was waiting for those words, he immediately agreed.

Sun Yunling quietly suppressed all his cultivation. Although there seemed to be no change in his appearance, Fang Lin clearly felt the disappearance of Sun Yunling’s aura.

Their eyes locked, without any words, yet they both struck out simultaneously.

Fang Lin punched, while Sun Yunling palmed, fist and palm colliding in an instant.

Bam!

Fang Lin’s expression changed, while Sun Yunling had a smile on the corner of his mouth, both taking two steps back.

“Again!” Fang Lin shouted, his energy and blood surging, the strength in his fists becoming more fierce.

Sun Yunling continued to counter with his palm, meeting force with force, equally relying on physical strength, yet not losing to Fang Lin.
