Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen’s lips pressed together slightly, he hesitated for a moment and slowly said, ”There’s no need...”

However, before he could finish, the solemn-looking Master Ci Hai had already spoken loudly.

”All disciples, form the array, exorcise demons and subdue evil!”

”Heh!”

Over a hundred monks responded in unison.

In an instant, figures flickered, with Qing Shuang at the center, surrounding her in a circle.

These monks were not of ordinary caliber, each possessing extraordinary cultivation.

If divided by the realm of Qi Refinement, they would be in the Golden Core Realm.

Over a hundred Golden Cores, combined with an array, even a Nascent Soul could hardly resist.

Is Qing Shuang an ordinary Nascent Soul?

Clearly not!

She stood proudly in the big formation, facing the overwhelming staff shadows without dodging, merely waving her sleeve.

A tremendous suction force, bursting out of nowhere.

In the flickering of light, the over hundred monks mysteriously vanished.

It was exactly the divine capability art she used back when she suppressed the Luo Yun Sect’s army—Sleeve Universe!

This move might be lacking in power against someone of the same realm, but against those below the Nascent Soul, it was a hand gripper, taking as many as came.

In an instant, the surroundings were cleared.

Ci Hai’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

”What a great demon, I must subdue you today! Behold my Sumeru Bowl!”

As he spoke, the Purple Gold Alms Bowl appeared again, enlarging out of thin air, enveloping Qing Shuang.

A power of spatial constraint and suppression spread in all directions.

Qing Shuang, within it, frowned slightly, her figure retreating continuously.

This magic item was somewhat strange!

It seemed to be quite restrictive to her.

Especially since she looked untroubled, but was actually severely injured, with only one-tenth of her Qi power left, and limited by the Jikong Flower.

Amidst internal and external troubles, facing Ci Hai’s move was indeed a bit tricky.

”Master, I’ll assist you!”

Zhou Mingxuan shouted boldly, controlling his Flying Sword, joining the fray.

Faced with an attack from both sides, Qing Shuang seemed slightly angry.

At some point, she had already donned a pair of gloves.

When the sword came, she suddenly grabbed it with one hand.

To Zhou Mingxuan’s astonishment, she crushed it into a heap of fragments.

Then she threw it backhand!

Clang clang!

The Flying Sword fragments struck the Sumeru Bowl, creating a series of metallic clashing sounds.

Then Qing Shuang stepped lightly, seeming to no longer resist the suppressive and compelling power of the Purple Gold Alms Bowl, she rushed into it head-on, raising a fist.

Bang!

A dull reverberation echoed in all directions.

Then, to the astonishment of everyone, the Sumeru Bowl was sent flying, with a startling web of cracks on it.

”Puh!”

”Hng!”

Zhou Mingxuan’s Natal Magic Item was destroyed, causing him to vomit blood due to the mental connection.

Master Ci Hai’s precious treasure was damaged, leaving him not in good shape either.

One after another, Qing Shuang’s capability was fully displayed.

Breaking the formation, destroying the item.

Then, seizing her advantage, she pressed forward.

A pristine arm reached out from the void, striking at the big bald head.

Seemingly aware that the opponent was formidable, Master Ci Hai was prepared, a golden light covering himself.

Boom!

With a punch, the golden light wavered incessantly.

Qing Shuang’s figure flashed again, moving horizontally several dozen feet before kicking Zhou Mingxuan, who was caught off guard.

Even though Zhou Mingxuan had defensive magic items in place, under this punch, they shattered inch by inch, and his entire body fell like a rag doll into the desert.

”Clan Chief!”

”Brother Zhou!”

The remaining group of spectators were both shocked and terrified by what had happened in a flash.

Qing Shuang snorted coldly, intending to strike again.

But a figure already stood blocking her way.

Qing Shuang narrowed her eyes, staring at the familiar profile.

”Are you trying to stop me?”

Luo Chen sighed, ”The West Desert is ultimately the domain of the Buddhist Sect; indiscriminate killing isn’t conducive to our subsequent actions, let’s stop here!”

Qing Shuang was not unreasonable, and her anger gradually dissipated.

Looking at those two with eyes of fear and shock, she snorted coldly, flicking her large sleeve.

Whoosh!

Over a hundred monks suddenly fell to the ground like rolling gourds, dazed, as if they didn’t know what had happened.

”If you dare pursue again, I’ll kill!”

Leaving this remark, Qing Shuang turned and left.

Luo Chen, with a wry smile, cupped his hands in respect to those behind, then hurried after.

The wind faintly carried the sound of their conversation.

”Your temper is getting more irritable!”

”If you were suddenly surrounded and attacked, wouldn’t you be angry?”

”Haha, indeed.”

Back on the battlefield, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Zhou Mingxuan, with a pale face, was helped up and walked to Master Ci Hai, who was meditating to restore his Qi power.

”Master, I... cough cough.”

Large clots of blood were coughed out, and the injuries to his physical body were more severe than they appeared to outsiders.

This was just from one of Qing Shuang’s kicks.

He spoke with difficulty, ”It was my negligence; I didn’t expect this demon, even gravely injured, to still have such capabilities.”

Master Ci Hai slowly opened his eyes, a hint of faint anger in his gaze.

”It’s not your fault; originally, I thought that Luo Chen should stand with us, but unexpectedly, demon and monster collude!”

Demon and monster collude!

These four words, spoken with a chilling tone.

Zhou Mingxuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Clearly, what he had seen earlier was a deadly standoff between a person and a demon, yet after a few days, they seemed to have come together.

Although Luo Chen did not strike, he even helped block the killing blow, but still...

He hesitated, ”Luo Chen of the Alchemy Sect, as you said, is also known as the Demon Slayer True Master, he shouldn’t be someone from the Path of Demon, right?”

Master Ci Hai slowly stood up, ”His aura of fierceness, evil qi, and even bloodthirstiness is more intense than any demonic villain or demon clan expert I have ever seen. If he were simply acting on the path of killing or protecting life, it could be ignored, but he walks alongside a great demon like Azure Phoenix; would you not call that straying into the Path of Demon?”
