Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 836: Chapter 343: Dragon Binding Stake, Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire_2

Boom!

A huge explosion!

He Yuanqing was blown back dozens of feet.

Through the hazy smoke, a figure broke through the air.

In front of him, a Top Grade Flying Sword, agile as a dragon, pierced through the layers of remaining Spirit Qi, heading straight for He Yuanqing’s neck.

”How could this be?”

He Yuanqing’s eyes widened, filled with despair.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

The figure was late to start but first to arrive, grabbing the hilt of the sword.

And the tip of the sword was pointed directly at He Yuanqing’s forehead, trembling non-stop.

”Brother Yuanqing, thank you for your generosity!”

”How could this be?” He Yuanqing couldn’t believe it. He opened his mouth to voice his unwillingness.

But as soon as he did, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Spurt!

Fu Li stepped aside to avoid it, his gaze turning towards the Golden Core Elder in charge of the Defensive Array.

The Elder of Dragon Head Peak looked at him appreciatively.

”This battle, Fu Li wins and advances to the next round!”

”You may rest for an hour.”

Fu Li smiled faintly, sheathed his sword, and walked away.

On the Sword Fight Platform, only He Yuanqing remained, his face pale.

He couldn’t believe that he would be so easily and swiftly defeated!

Clearly, Fu Li had advanced to the Ninth Level Foundation Establishment far later than he had.

And yet, he hadn’t even had the chance to use his most important killing move.

His question remained unanswered for the time being.

But above in the Heaven Palace, the Golden Core Ascendant Masters had already seen through the reality of the situation.

”He’s been completely figured out!”

Luo Chen looked up. The speaker was none other than the Golden Core Ascendant Master, Master of Food Fragrance from the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Rarely, she showed some interest.

Watching He Yuanqing’s dispirited face in the Water Mirror Technique, she commented:

”Whether it’s in terms of Realm or the power of his weapon, he is superior to that Fu Li.”

”If he had fought steadily, without rushing for victory, Fu Li would certainly have been defeated under his sword in no more than two hundred exchanges.”

”However, his eagerness to win was too great. He was only thinking of conserving his strength to face the next round of opponents. He forgot that only by fighting steadily and winning this round would he have the chance to face Dan Yangzi.”

”Fu Li clearly saw through this. Thus, from the beginning, he kept his distance, focusing on exhausting and dragging out the fight.”

”If this continued for a long time, Fu Li would lose. But since he had already guessed He Yuanqing’s psychology, knowing that the latter would definitely want to win with a single strike.”

”That’s why we saw He Yuanqing trying to concentrate his killing move, only to be broken down step by step, resulting in his Magic Item backfiring on him.”

After this review.

All the present Golden Cores nodded in agreement.

Fu Li might be slightly less powerful, but his cunning and strategic battle planning were far superior to He Yuanqing’s.

Or to say, there was no such thing as lesser strength at all.

Battle talent itself is a part of strength.

After listening, Luo Chen also nodded slightly.

His own assessment was not far off.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Fu Li would meticulously design the battle to win this round so quickly.

With the alliance between him and Tao Wen, would it not be more appropriate to let He Yuanqing win this round easily and then have him in full condition to exhaust and probe the second-ranked Dan Yangzi?

...

Luo Chen’s question also appeared in the conversation between Tao Wen and Fu Li.

”You’ve changed your mind?”

”Yes!” replied Fu Li while meditating and replying to Tao Wen’s transmitted message, ”Because I’ve realized that He Yuanqing is too weak, he would never be able to probe Senior Brother’s hidden cards.”

In the distance, Tao Wen was lost in thought.

So, Fu Li changed his mind on the spot and decided to win this round himself, and then personally challenge Senior Brother?

He is indeed someone with his own ideas.

Tao Wen thought as much.

However, looking at the calm and collected Fu Li, who was resting and recovering, she felt something was off.

”Not right!”

”He’s not simply trying to obtain the Seed Cultivator Position for me and clear the obstacles!”

”Under that gentle and courteous demeanor, there is an unyielding determination. His goal is also the Seed Cultivator Position!”

Realizing this.

Tao Wen’s expression changed slightly.

At this moment, the alliance became extremely fragile because there was only one position separating the two.

If Fu Li wins, he will be her direct competitor!

Ally?

Even alliance must recognize a primary and a secondary, a superior and an inferior!

Whether Tao Wen would marry into the Fu Family, or the Fu Family daughter would marry into the Tao Family, the implications would be entirely different!

Time slowly passed.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

”The seventh battle, Fu Li versus Dan Yangzi!”

”Both disciples, please come to the stage!”

Thunderous voices rolled out from the Golden Core Ascendant Master of Dragon Head Peak.

The next moment, Fu Li stood up and turned into a Glint, landing on the Sword Fight Platform.

Senior Brother Dan Yangzi came riding on clouds.

Facing the man opposite him, the silent Dan Yangzi finally spoke.

”Junior Brother, you’re not my match. Just admit defeat!”

”Senior Brother, using strategy to subdue the enemy without a fight – what a great idea,” Fu Li said with a faint smile, his sword in hand bursting with Spirit Light, ”But the way of the Dao demands proof. I, too, desire the Seed Cultivator Position!”

Dan Yangzi remained silent.

No more words, he also produced a long sword in his hand.

Above in Heaven Palace.

Luo Chen, who had been paying close attention to the battle, arched his eyebrows in surprise.

A Top Grade Magic Tool?

In the first round of the battle, Dan Yangzi had always been using the Magic Item Flying Sword against his opponents.

Why would he switch weapons now that the finals were approaching?

Amidst his confusion, he looked at the Ascendant Masters.

This time, it was Ascendant Master Chi Ding who spoke.

He sighed and said, ”Dan Yangzi’s Spirit Power is almost depleted.”

As soon as these words came out.

Luo Chen instantly understood why Dan Yangzi would change his preferred way of fighting.

In the previously fought battles of the first round, Dan Yangzi had to be decisive and swift.

To secure the first-ranked position with quick victories.
