Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1274: Chapter 485: Cunningly Seizing Iron Blue Mountain, Boldly Snatching Hui Meng Ridge! _3

”Evil beast! Die now!”

”Get lost!”

Without an ounce of superfluous chatter, they began fighting at once.

Sword Light transformed, creating an intimidating presence.

Demon Qi filled the sky, like a storm of Wind Blades sweeping across all directions.

Yang WenChang was already critically injured, and in this sudden battle, he quickly fell into disadvantage.

With his Qi Power depleted, even wielding his Magic Flying Sword proved laborious.

After hundreds of exchanges,

the Demon Wolf had several deep bone-exposing sword wounds on it.

Whereas Yang WenChang, his robe tattered, had an extremely pale complexion.

But he couldn’t retreat!

Beneath him lay the future of the Wanxiang Sect, and behind him was the hope for the Sect’s rise.

To retreat now would doom hopes and future, and render the supreme self-sacrifice of the Wanxiang Sect and the deaths of all disciples in this battle meaningless.

...

Amidst the ethereal clouds, three figures whispered among themselves.

”Jiang Yu, your Illusion Rain Curtain is still as magical, it seems even a Late Golden Core Cultivator’s Divine Consciousness cannot see through its disguise!”

”You jest, it’s merely a minor trick for escaping danger, nothing compared to your grand capabilities.”

”You are too modest. For us Golden Core Cultivators to have even a few magic items to wield is to be a local hero. Your Sea-Stabilizing Pearl paired with the Summon Rain Banner, along with the Illusion Rain Curtain, could catch even a Middle Golden Core Cultivator off guard!”

”Tsk tsk, Dao Brother, you flatter too much. With your trump card, who could withstand?”

”If you ask me, it’s still Dan Chenzi, with a multitude of tricks and extraordinary methods, unrivaled among his peers! Speaking of which, Dan Chenzi, what magic items are those three black nails of yours? They truly are quite mystical!”

Inside the rain cloud,

Luo Chen smiled as he listened to the others boasting.

Under their mutual compliments, it seemed as though any of them could fight beyond their cultivation levels, not inferior to those in the Middle Golden Core Stage.

But he didn’t take it seriously.

Fighting beyond one’s level, how could it be so simple?

Previously, when the three of them joined forces to take down a Third Order Middle Stage Snow Wolf King, it took considerable effort.

If they really faced a Middle Golden Core expert, they likely wouldn’t stand a chance.

Unless they had a major weapon like the Lei Xian Bead!

He didn’t engage deeply in this boasting session, keeping his focus on the battle at Iron Blue Mountain.

Yet as he watched, his expression grew solemn.

”That Yang WenChang does have some skills, to still be able to defeat a Third Order Demon Wolf in such a state.”

The other two also reined in their relaxed demeanor.

Now they were executing this plan of exploiting the tiger’s might—no, rather, exploiting the wolf’s might to consume people!

They attempted to take Iron Blue Mountain without exerting much effort.

Now it seemed, complications might arise.

Once Wanxiang Sect secured this place, if their Luo Tian Alliance attempted a snatch, and the opposition complained to Luo Yun Sect, it would surely reignite conflicts.

”Perhaps I should act once more, following the earlier example at Hui Meng Ridge, and take Iron Blue Mountain!” Luo Chen suggested.

But this time, he faced opposition.

Jiang Yu shook his head, ”The Wanxiang Sect has exploded even their Supreme Elder for this Spirit Vein; replicating the previous scenario won’t make them yield easily.”

Luo Chen furrowed his brows.

Indeed, that was the truth.

After all, they had already taken Iron Blue Mountain, unlike at Hui Meng Ridge, where the He Family’s attack faltered, thus creating his chance to pick the fruit.

But for a cultivation land, they couldn’t just give up.

He sighed, ”If that won’t work, let’s press them with force later to make them leave. As for if they complain to Luo Yun Sect later, we can just drag out the dispute.”

This was a solid idea.

However!

Di Wuqi spoke up.

”Too troublesome.”

”Let me handle it!”

”While somewhat underhanded, for our Dao, we must sometimes take action.”

Jiang Yu’s expression grew serious, murmuring softly, ”Do it discreetly.”

Di Wuqi nodded, ”Don’t worry, amidst the fierce battle, ordinary folks won’t notice my methods, and it won’t raise any suspicions.”

As he spoke,

his fingers formed a sword gesture, placed at his chest.

Breathing lightly, a thread of ghostly wind, swirling with air, gradually appeared.

The moment this thread of wind materialized, Luo Chen’s expression tightened.

Was this the trump card Di Wuqi mentioned, the one Jiang Yu spoke about?

He had once thought to use it against the Snow Wolf King at Snow Wolf Flat but held back.

Its might was not seen yet.

Now, it seemed to carry a mysterious and eerie aura, stirring a sense of trepidation.

He hesitated internally on whether to stop him.

However, Di Wuqi’s solemn demeanor, coupled with Jiang Yu’s smile that wasn’t quite a smile, made him suddenly realize...

Perhaps, it wasn’t that they feared trouble?

Instead, they were killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, making a show of force to intimidate!

Luo Chen had stood out too much before, not only nominally serving as the leader of the Luo Tian Alliance but also subtly gaining the reputation of being the strongest within the alliance.

Even the lower order cultivators from Wind and Rain Villa and the Cen Family had started to look up to him as their leader.

Under such circumstances, the powerful Wind and Rain Villa was instead being suppressed.

Now that their strategy was about to be completed,

there would inevitably be more tugging over the distribution of benefits.

So, Di Wuqi certainly wouldn’t want to remain suppressed.

Thus, this time he volunteered to take action, not to kill Yang WenChang, but to actively demonstrate his own capabilities.

The old man’s interest isn’t in the wine but in himself!

In this case, it wouldn’t be good for him to dispute with Di Wuqi, which could disturb the alliance’s own ranks.

”I wondered why they had been going on and on earlier, turns out they were hinting at me!” he sighed inwardly.

He opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again.

Luo Chen’s face remained calm as he quietly watched Di Wuqi cast his spell.

Jiang Yu paid close attention to the changes in his expression.

Seeing this scene, she too settled down.

For now, let Luo Chen also realize that neither of them were weak!

”Sigh...”

Di Wuqi exhaled softly, and the wisp of breeze winding around his fingertips silently slipped away.

Meanwhile, on Iron Blue Mountain.

Yang WenChang, who was in the heat of a fierce battle, also gradually began to sense something was amiss.

This was because the demon wolf opposing him, despite its aggressive attacks, still seemed to be holding back some power as if guarding against something.

Not only that, it kept shouting at him to get out of the way, the hell with it.

”This demon wolf came under strange circumstances.”

”Could it be that it wasn’t targeting our Wanxiang Sect, but was driven here by someone?”

”Then where is the enemy who drove this demon here?”

”Wait, could it be...”

As his thoughts drifted and he attempted to clear a path for the demon wolf to escape,

a wisp of breeze, carrying eddies, floated beside him.

His clothes fluttered, blood sprayed.

Yang WenChang’s eyes widened as he saw his body sliced in two halves.

The wisp of wind coiled rapidly around his Golden Core.

In his field of vision, the enormous paw of the demon wolf swung at him.

And crushed his head with a swoop!

All of this happened too quickly.

So fast that all the lower rank cultivators of Wanxiang Sect on Iron Blue Mountain couldn’t react in time.

At that moment,

A loud shout exploded through the clouds.

”Evil beast, meet your doom!”

Di Wuqi dived down, a mini cyclone revolving between his hands, strands of breeze continually spiraling.

His arrival was too sudden, yet perfectly timed.

As the Glint arrived, two cyclones had already enveloped the demon wolf.

With just a crisscross, the mighty Third Order Demon Wolf fell at the foot of Iron Blue Mountain.

Amid the shocked gazes of many, Di Wuqi regretfully caught the Golden Core.

”Sorry for being late, causing the friend to suffer a baseless calamity.”

While speaking, his expression subtly shifted as he looked back and then tossed the Golden Core to a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator rushing out from the mountain.

”Take good care of your Sect Master’s legacy.”

Moreover, he also handed over Yang WenChang’s Storage Bag and Magic Flying Sword.

This scene made the aggrieved Wanxiang Sect disciples momentarily unsure of how to react.

At that moment,

Two streaks of Glint arrived from beyond the sky.

With a whooshing wind, Luo Chen swept his robe and stepped forward.

”What shall these fellows do next?”

Wanxiang Sect’s Senior Brother, holding the relics of Yang WenChang, trembled.

He blankly looked towards Luo Chen and the others.

”May I ask the senior’s name?”

Luo Chen and the others exchanged a glance, then revealed a warm smile.

”Dan Chenzi of the Luo Tian Alliance!”

”Di Wuqi!”

”Jiang Yu!”

Under the seemingly warm gaze of the trio, the hundreds of remaining disciples of Wanxiang Sect on Iron Blue Mountain appeared as feeble as ants.

By bare hands, they could be annihilated!
