Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 972: Chapter 393: Instant Kill Blood Demon_2

The opponent’s burst of speed was simply too fast, crossing a hundred zhang distance in the blink of an eye!

It was too late to recall the Flying Sword, so instinctively, a Defense Magic Item was conjured – a soft, red silk ribbon blocked in front of the body.

The next moment, the white light was close.

With one hand, the ribbon was grasped and violently yanked backward.

The overwhelming force actually tore an opening through the Defense Magic Item!

The fingers of the left hand splayed wide, like the sharp claws of Demon Beasts, slashing downward!

Hiss!

As if slicing through tofu with a knife, the claws reached in and extracted the beating heart of the Blood Demon.

With a squeeze, under the horrified gaze of the Blood Demon, the vigorously pulsating red heart disintegrated into countless pieces, scattering in the air.

Without time to be shocked, the Blood Demon gritted his teeth and made a beckoning gesture.

”Return!”

The torn red silk Defense Magic Item was about to envelop his body once again.

Even with severe injuries, he still remained calm. As long as the Defense Magic Item could display its power, he could still maneuver it – even if it meant perishing together!

However, the white figure didn’t give him a chance.

Both hands spread their fingers again, and although not touching the flesh, a surge of vital energy burst forth.

Like two streams of water hitting a rock, forcibly splitting the Blood Demon’s body in half!

Pff!

Amidst the sky full of blood and innards, the two halves of the body fell to the ground.

The white figure paused for a moment, grabbing the red silk with one hand and the Blood Demon’s Storage Bag at his waist with the other.

Subsequently, with a beckoning gesture, a Human-shaped Puppet lying on the ground was collected into his bag.

After that, he took a deep look at Han Zheng’s body and then quickly left.

He didn’t even glance at the belongings of the other Fallen Cloud Sect Disciples who had died in battle!

This battle, while it may sound long, was actually very brief.

From the appearance of the white figure wielding a sword, to the cruel slaying of the Blood Demon, it was nothing more than a fleeting moment.

Once the white figure had left.

Han Zheng’s eyes sluggishly opened amidst the devastated earth.

In his embrace, a palm-sized grass-head Puppet snapped into two pieces.

A Substitute Puppet!

A secret of the Luoyun Sect Han Family!

It was with this item that he was fortunate enough to survive.

Rising from the ground, Han Zheng’s body shook slightly.

He considered himself exceptional, having cultivated the Puppet Technique of the Luoyun Sect to an unrivaled degree among his peers.

Moreover, his grandfather, True Master Han Zhan, personally crafted three puppets for him, encompassing the three aspects of flight, long-range attack, and close combat.

Among his equals, he had few adversaries, and he dared to contend with Great Cultivators of Late Stage Foundation Establishment!

But!

In front of the Blood Demon, he still felt weak and helpless, like a child.

Especially during the fight when he was distracted, and didn’t even get a chance to trigger the defensive tactics bestowed by his grandfather.

Had it not been for the Substitute Puppet blocking this calamity, he might have fallen and Han Zheng would no longer exist in this world.

The Blood Demon was one thing!

After all, he was a False Core Stage Cultivator, just one step away from the Golden Core.

His own advancement to the Fifth Level Foundation Establishment took only a few months.

The huge gap in Realm is not something that external items can bridge.

But the person just now!

Although he did not open his eyes to see their true face, his Spirit Consciousness perceived the lightning-fast battle very clearly.

Using Xu Ji as a cover, they feigned an attack with the Magic Flying Sword, then suddenly struck, closing in on the Blood Demon within a flash of lightning.

After that, they used unimaginable means to pull open the Defense Magic Item.

In the end, with three fierce strikes, they directly tore apart the opponent’s body!

Such tactics, truly thunderous and stunning, left one flabbergasted!

The Blood Demon likely didn’t see it coming from start to finish.

The most critical point was that the Spirit Qi Fluctuation revealed by the opponent was almost non-existent!

It all relied on brute Body Refinement Tactics!

Such a personage certainly was not an unknown figure in the Yu Ding Realm!

”Could it be that they are powerful outsiders from beyond the domain?”

Han Zheng couldn’t figure out the stranger’s origins, his mind raced, and he suddenly recalled the phrase the Blood Demon had blurted out on seeing them, ”Is it you”.

”Could it be someone he recognized?”

”Well, let me see your true face, Blood Demon, and find out who you are. This may also help me deduce which domain that person comes from.”

He took a deep breath, not minding the stench of blood, and went forward.

With Spirit Power, he merged the two halves of the torn body together, and more than that, swept with his Spirit Power.

He removed the disguise from the other’s face.

”Eh, it turns out not to be the rumored Wang Yuan from the Luo Tian Creed, but rather Xuan Yu?”

Looking at the somewhat familiar face, Han Zheng remembered his visit to the Tian Lan Immortal City.

There, right after his Foundation Establishment, he defeated a Sword Cultivator from the Yu Ding Sword Sect, solidifying his first victory after Foundation Establishment.

He remembered seeing this very handsome man in the audience then.

From Peach Mountain.

Rumored to be the favored servant of the Peach Blossom Ancestor from the Hundred Flowers Palace.

”It’s not Wang Yuan, but Xuan Yu instead.”

”However, he is from the Yu Ding Realm, so since he knows the person in white, that person must also be from the Yu Ding Realm. Proficient in brute force tactics... Could it be that person is actually Wang Yuan?”

”Did he grow angry that Xuan Yu was acting in his name and therefore struck him in rage?”

”But is Wang Yuan really that strong?”

The limited information he had indicated that Wang Yuan also had Mastery of Body Refinement.

If this were the case, then everything would seem quite logical.

”However, it’s one thing for him to take action, but why kill Xu Ji... Xu Ji?”

His gaze fell on the body of Xu Ji, who was pierced through the chest by a sword, and Han Zheng’s expression turned somewhat dark.

The other had actually abandoned him and fled in advance, letting him act as the rear guard.

Such actions truly disgusted him.

Therefore, even though Xu Ji had been killed, he didn’t feel much sadness.

However, his eyes swept over the other five fallen fellow disciples, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of grief.
