The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1735: Chapter 1832: The Great Battle with Sun Yunling

“Since you killed Ye Hongchen, then I shall kill you to avenge her.” Sun Yunling said flatly, his tone not revealing any anger, as if killing was a very simple matter to him.

Dugu Nian looked down coldly at Sun Yunling, saying, “I don’t mind sending you along, to join that woman in the underworld.”

Zhen Yangzi and three others brought Fang Lin over to Dugu Nian’s side. Fang Lin immediately said to Dugu Nian, “This person’s body is extremely strong, his cultivation is not weaker than yours. If you are to fight, do not let him get close.”

Dugu Nian nodded. She could also see that Sun Yunling’s physique was exceptionally robust, his life force spreading outward, a dazzling red light shooting up to the sky. This phenomenon that only a body refinement martial artist could have indicated that Sun Yunling had reached quite a formidable level in terms of his physical body.

“Are you alright?” Dugu Nian asked with concern.

Fang Lin grinned, “It’s fine, just my cultivation has been sealed. We’ll find a way to undo it once we get back.”

Dugu Nian waved her hand, signaling Zhen Yangzi and the others to take Fang Lin back to the Sky Swallowing Palace first.

However, Fang Lin shook his head, “No need to rush back. If you are going to fight this Sun guy, it’s better for them to stay around.”

Dugu Nian chuckled softly, “You think I’ll lose?”

Fang Lin replied, “Not necessarily lose, just in case. The Hidden Kill Hall acts unpredictably; there’s no guarantee this person won’t have other tricks up his sleeve. Also, there should be two other masters from Hidden Kill Hall nearby, having them here can support you.”

Seeing Fang Lin’s insistence, Dugu Nian said no more, her gaze turning back to Sun Yunling. The many spread-out red zither strings around them gathered into the vermillion zither.

“I’ve long wanted to test myself against you, Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace!” Sun Yunling said as he stepped forward. In an instant, a gigantic foot descended from the sky, directly crashing toward the peak where Dugu Nian and Fang Lin were standing.

Even before the foot landed, the terrifying force was already causing the mountain peak beneath them to wobble, rocks to splinter, and the earth to tremble.

Dugu Nian looked at the massive foot with indifference. In the next moment, with a flick of her fingers, an inconspicuous beam of light shot out, colliding thunderously with the gigantic foot.

Boom!!!!!!!

With a loud explosion, the massive foot shattered into pieces, and the terrifying aura swept in all directions.

The gigantic foot was thus dissolved by Dugu Nian’s single flick, yet the mountain peak continued to crumble.

Sun Yunling stepped forward repeatedly, each step accumulating momentum within himself. As he advanced, the mountain peak collapsed even more, unable to withstand Sun Yunling’s aggressive aura.

“What a powerful guy!” Zhen Yangzi and the others looked at Sun Yunling with grave expressions. All four of them were of Half-step Immortal cultivation, each an expert among the three sects, yet they all harbored deep fear toward Sun Yunling.

Dugu Nian saw that Sun Yunling’s momentum continued to surge, understanding that if this persisted, Sun Yunling would grow ever stronger. Once he closed in, he would inevitably launch a powerful assault with his physical body.

For a strong person like Dugu Nian, who had not achieved much in terms of physical body mastery, engaging in close quarters with a body refinement expert like Sun Yunling was unwise.

Therefore, Dugu Nian would not allow Sun Yunling to approach, and she aimed to disrupt his accumulated momentum.

Her slender fingers gently plucked a vermillion zither string, and a crisp sound of the zither rang out suddenly.

Sun Yunling’s steps abruptly halted, and this pause directly caused the mighty momentum he had accumulated to drain away completely.

“Sounds beautiful!” Sun Yunling raised his head to look at Dugu Nian, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Dugu Nian remained expressionless, paying no heed to Sun Yunling’s praise. Her fingers plucked the zither strings again, and immediately invisible zither notes, like blades, surged toward Sun Yunling.

Sun Yunling extended a palm as if an invisible barrier stood before him, repelling the blade-like zither notes, preventing any from reaching him.

Dugu Nian’s hands slapped down on the vermillion zither, causing a scene of clashing armies with golden weapons, accompanied by reverberating divine sounds as if the heavens roared and gods raged.

This was the Sky Zither Three Moves. With Dugu Nian’s current cultivation, its power had increased several-fold compared to before, also gaining an unprecedented charm.

It seemed that after the Ten thousand strings Demon Girl fused with the vermillion zither, she harmonized even more with Dugu Nian, significantly enhancing Dugu Nian’s prowess in the Tao of the Zither. Even the peak master of Heavenly Zither Peak from the Confucianists had his mental state shattered by Dugu Nian’s zither music, leading to the massacre of Heavenly Zither Peak.

Faced with the cavalry formed by the zither notes, Sun Yunling seemed insignificant but before the charge of the army, Sun Yunling launched a punch, utterly strong and straightforward.

Against the vast incoming army, Sun Yunling only had this one punch, and one punch was all it took.

Boom!!!!

Almost in an instant, all the zither notes vanished, and the visions disintegrated into nothingness, leaving only Sun Yunling’s fierce punch wind still raging.

Dugu Nian finally showed a solemn expression, deeply realizing the strength of Sun Yunling’s physical body.

“With one punch, you broke my Great Sound No Voice. But I want to see how many more punches you can throw?” Dugu Nian said coldly, pulling a zither string so forcefully it cut her finger, a trickle of blood flowing along the string, soaking it entirely.

In an instant, all sound seemed to vanish from the world. Neither Sun Yunling nor Fang Lin, Zhen Yangzi, and the others could hear anything.

The next moment, a piercing whistle suddenly rang out, a red beam shot forth from the vermillion zither, faster than imaginable.

Sun Yunling angrily threw another punch, his fist clashing hard with the red beam.

Then, on Sun Yunling’s fist, a gash appeared; the sharp zither note had finally injured Sun Yunling’s incredibly strong body.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Dugu Nian’s face, while Fang Lin looked at Dugu Nian with great surprise, as if her strength had increased significantly, probably not far from the mid-Immortal level?

Sun Yunling looked at his fist, indeed finding a gash, and surprisingly, the wound was difficult to heal for a moment, as if an eerie power clung to the wound.

“Being able to injure me, there are few in this world who could do it. I can hardly remember when I was last wounded.” Sun Yunling said with a light smile.
