Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 839: Chapter 344: The Battle of the Seed Cultivator Ends (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

“As for Senior Sister Tao, she has been honing her fighting methods on the Dao Debate Platforms of various Immortal Cities over the years. Her realm might be a bit weak, but as a fellow Ninth Level Foundation Establishment, and one who is well-rested at that, she’s surely prepared for this encounter. Considering all that has been exposed of Senior Brother’s techniques, she’s bound to have responses at the ready. I believe Senior Sister Tao has a greater chance of winning!”

Within Pill Valley, tens of thousands of cultivators were engaged in heated discussion.

Each expressing their opinions on the upcoming battle.

With high spirits, they pointed out strategies as though commanding troops, each with their favorite contender to support.

It was amid such a turbulent debate that time slipped away.

Finally, the short rest period granted to Dan Yangzi came to an end.

...

With the Elder of Dragon Head Peak activating the Defensive Array, it signified that the battle was about to commence.

“True Disciple Dan Yangzi, True Disciple Tao Wen, please ascend to the Sword Fight Platform!”

No sooner had the words been spoken,

Than two figures virtually simultaneously soared onto the Sword Fight Platform.

One had a face nearing crimson, with purple patterns between his brows, both exotic and dangerous.

The other was exceedingly beautiful, her dress fluttering, her sleeves billowing, and from her shapely body surged an overwhelming and captivating battle intent!

“Senior Brother, I’m afraid I will have to offend you today!”

Tao Wen lightly lifted her wrist, and a supple ribbon fluttered out like a serpent’s tongue writhing and clinging, peeking in and out of her sleeve.

Cloud Stream Sleeve, the Tao Family’s ancestral magic item.

An object that had accompanied Tao Wen since her childhood, and one she had refined to an extremely profound degree!

Without even deploying her killing move, she could control it with ease and precision.

Dan Yangzi watched her with a solemn expression, a long sword landing in his hand.

It was no longer the top grade magic tool, but his most frequently used Magic Flying Sword—Purple Evil.

“Come!”

No need for nonsense, no need for more words!

With just two simple words, a great battle ensued!

The next moment, Tao Wen adopted a battle approach starkly different from all those who had previously faced Dan Yangzi.

Instead of retreating, she advanced, her hands raised, and the sky full of flying sleeves erupted with a bang.

The once supple magic tool, in that moment, became as tough as steel, as torrential as a downpour, as fierce as ten thousand gusts of wind!

Dan Yangzi’s expression was grave. He didn’t deploy his Magic Flying Sword’s killing move but used qi to control the sword, constantly slicing through the flying sleeves that approached him.

His adept sword-controlling methods showcased his renown as the master of both the dao of pills and swords—this was no unfounded claim.

If the Sect Leader of Iron Sword Hall, Zuo Song, were here, he too would concede defeat.

The two of them continued their attacks, each pushing their magic items to the limit.

Vast amounts of spirit power were poured out as though it cost them nothing.

Dan Yangzi joined his fingers as if they were a sword, remotely controlling the Purple Evil Treasure Sword. It appeared offensive, but in truth, defense was his main priority.

With his current state, it was impossible for him to launch an aggressive assault.

Therefore, playing defensively and counter-attacking with a decisive Lightning Sword was the true path to victory.

“An all-out attack will inevitably leave countless flaws!”

His eyes suddenly shone bright as the Purple Evil Treasure Sword split into nine beams of light, which surrounded Tao Wen from all sides within a mere ten-zhang radius.

Junior Sister, it seems you are still somewhat naive!

Just as he was about to secure his victory, he saw Tao Wen flitter out of the encirclement of sword light like a butterfly through flowers, dodging by the skin of her teeth.

Her dexterous movements left onlookers speechless.

Indeed as agile as a dragon, graceful as a startled swan!

As their distance widened, the joy in Dan Yangzi’s heart diminished slightly.

“I had forgotten that you possess a Wind Spirit Root and are a master of the Jing Hong Mantra.”

He recalled his flying sword.

With the treasure sword in hand, purple halos radiated from the blade, enveloping him.

In the next moment, shrouded in sword light, he turned into a sharp blade, rushing towards Tao Wen with the speed of lightning.

His opponent was too agile.

If he stood still, he would just become a sitting duck.

A mere sitting duck couldn’t capture any of the opponent’s numerous flaws, no matter how exposed they were.

Only with equal speed, forcing the opponent into a corner, could he claim victory at close range.

Tao Wen, seeing this, remained calm and collected.

As she used her flying sleeves to obstruct, she gracefully spiraled atop the Sword Fight Platform.

Her elegant and lively movements were dazzling to behold.

For a time, even with Dan Yangzi’s lightning speed fused into the sword light, he struggled to close the gap.

The situation, momentarily deadlocked.

…

Above the Heaven Palace, a gathering of Ascendants watched the fierce battle in the Water Mirror, nodding in admiration.

“With such skills, they are truly the pride of our sect!”

“The degree to which these two have refined their magic items is exceedingly deep, comparable to those just entering the Golden Core realm.”

“No wonder Sect Yangzi is called unparalleled in both the dao of pills and swords; whether it’s his art of sword light division or his technique of merging with the sword, he’s certainly on par with the Sword Sect Foundation Establishment True Disciples.”

“Tsk, tsk, if Dan Yangzi were in the Sword Sect and mastered the Sword Pill Art, his future achievements would surely be no less than those of Lin Qingxuan from the Sword Sect!”

“But that’s where you’re wrong, as strong as the Path of Sword may be, the Dao of Alchemy can also lead directly to the Path of Supreme!”

“Let’s watch further!”

“See how these two break the deadlock and establish their advantage!”

…

Amidst the bombardment of flying sleeves.

A beam of sword light plunged into the sea like wading through mud.

It bravely advanced, yet it was endlessly frustrated by Tao Wen’s constantly shifting position.

Suddenly.

The sword light exploded in all directions!

Breaking through the dense assault of the Cloud Stream Sleeve.

Dan Yangzi revealed himself, exhaling and vocalizing, with the tip of the sword raised.

“Condense!”

The next moment, a halo imbued with dual hues of purple and red spread out.

Endless rays of light burst forth as if a purple sun were rising, illuminating the world.

“Fierce Sun Technique!”

Tao Wen’s complexion drastically changed, and it was already too late to retract her Cloud Stream Sleeve.

She could only hastily bring out her top grade defense magic tool.

The scorching heat surged towards her,

No matter how she altered her position, she was helplessly caught within the wide range of the attack, swept along like duckweed.
