Alchemy Master

Chapter 272, Brutal Trampling

Translator: Silavin

As soon as the Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul was deployed, Li Gu’s aura grew stronger. The eight giant spider legs, like eight sharp blades, when barely grazing past, sliced through the surrounding buildings as if they were tofu.

At this moment, concern flashed through Liang Hongsheng’s eyes.

Elder Li Gu of the Li Family was undeniably strong. Moreover, he knew how powerful the Eight Armed Beast Soul was.

Most importantly, since the Sky Reaching Behemoth had never fought in this form before, he was not sure if it was a match for Li Gu.

Now that Li Gu had deployed his Martial Soul, even he and Yang Quan together would find it difficult to stop him.

Thinking this, his gaze turned to An Cangye, his eyes narrowing.

He had not expected An Cangye to do such things, first abandoning everyone during the Beast Tide without regard for their safety, and now colluding with other powerful Forces to oppress talents from their own territory.

Both actions had crossed his bottom line.

An Cangye seemed to notice his gaze and immediately turned ashen. He had not thought of running away.

This was the Thousand Mist Empire – if the Lord wanted him dead, where could he escape to!?

“I am the greatest sinner of the An Family…” An Cangye collapsed, instantly aging many years.

After today, the An Family would no longer exist in the Thousand Mist Empire!

Meanwhile, Li Gu’s aura had reached its peak, and everyone in Central Province City could feel a suffocating pressure spreading out.

“Die!” A deep voice filled with killing intent came from Li Gu’s mouth. Then, the Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul behind him pushed against the ground with its eight legs, and he launched himself straight at Xiao Hei.

Wherever he passed, he brought a fierce wind along. His aura was extremely powerful.

However, Xiao Hei’s dark eyes showed no fear. Li Gu’s power instead aroused its fighting spirit. It roared and stamped its feet, leaping up to clash with him.

Soon, people witnessed Xiao Hei’s terrifying power for the first time.

When Li Gu’s blade-like spider legs struck Xiao Hei’s body, not only did they fail to draw blood, but they only produced metallic clanging sounds, as if hitting a steel plate.

Most importantly, in their confrontation, Xiao Hei was not at any disadvantage.

This was without even revealing its true form.

Seeing Xiao Hei’s ferocity, Yang Quan wiped away his sweat.

At the third defense line, Xiao Hei had probably just been playing with him. If it had been even slightly serious, he would not have been a match for it at all.

Xiao Bai was even more carefree. Seeing Xiao Hei fighting, it turned back and crouched beside Little Ling’er.

However, its eyes remained fixed on the battle.

Its seemingly lazy behavior actually had two purposes – if Li Gu tried to sneak attack, it could block, and if Xiao Hei was overwhelmed, it could quickly assist.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!…” Li Gu roared repeatedly but could not handle Xiao Hei, becoming increasingly frustrated and angry.

“Rainbow Cloud Slash!” Suddenly, the eight legs of his Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul all stood upright, the spider legs glowing faintly with his Yuan Energy, then slashed down directly at Xiao Hei.

“Die!” With his roar, the eight spider legs fell with cold arcs.

“Slash! Slash! Slash!…” Several sprays of blood burst from Xiao Hei’s body as multiple cuts opened, with blood flowing out.

However, this only wounded its fur, not causing any life-threatening damage to Xiao Hei.

“How is this possible!?” Seeing his proud Technique was so easily blocked by Xiao Hei, Li Gu’s eyes revealed deep disbelief.

He had once killed Martial Kings with his Rainbow Cloud Slash, yet he could not kill a mere beast. This made him feel defeated.

*Roar!* After being injured, Xiao Hei did not retreat but grew angrier. A fierce roar came from its mouth, then its body expanded to more than twice its size before everyone’s eyes.

Though still far from half the height of its true form, it was already a huge beast.

With its enlarged body, it looked even more terrifying, its murderous aura even thicker. Just walking left deep footprints in the ground.

It raised its front paw and stomped directly toward Li Gu.

This crushing posture made Li Gu even more furious. His eight spider legs slashed at the descending giant beast paw from various angles.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!…* The spider legs struck the beast paw, producing crisp sounds. Apart from cutting off some fur and leaving a few blood marks, the beast paw continued falling.

*Boom!* At this point, Li Gu finally tried to defend, but due to his dislocated arm causing a slight delay, the beast paw directly stomped him into the ground.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!…* One stomp after another fell, and Li Gu was stomped dozens of meters into the ground, only managing to escape during a brief moment when Xiao Hei lifted its giant paw.

Even after escaping, he was now covered in dirt and dust, nothing like his previous righteous appearance. Even his Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul behind him had dimmed.

It was clear that if not for his Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul helping him resist Xiao Hei’s trampling, if it had been a powerful expert without a Martial Soul, they would probably have been stomped into meat paste by Xiao Hei.

*Siiii*

Around them, sounds of sharp intakes of breath continuously rang out. All eyes falling on Xiao Hei were filled with deep shock and fear.

Who could have imagined that Li Gu, who had been so imposing just moments ago, would become so pathetically disheveled in an instant, even facing mortal danger.

When many people looked at the still calm-faced Qin Yichen, their expressions changed.

Previously, many people only saw Qin Yichen as a young prodigy, at most not daring to touch him because they feared the might of Alchemy Peak.

But now, Qin Yichen has undoubtedly revealed his fierce side.

After this, who would dare bully the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce?! Originally, some Business Alliance from other kingdoms had planned to use both soft and hard approaches, but now, they abandoned those thoughts.

What a joke – they even beat up an Elder from the Twilight City’s Li Family without hesitation, let alone them!

At that point, it would not just be losing face, they would be thrown out directly.

Who could have imagined that the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce had such powerful backing.

Moreover, some things were even more terrifying to contemplate… how had such a powerful Ferocious Beast been tamed by them!?
