Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

The four spears flew around Alex, each independently controlled by him.

‘That’s a little bad,’ he thought. Unlike the octopus skill from the Yao family where you controlled 4 different limbs all at once while remaining in a simple spherical barrier, this technique had no defensive aspect to it at all.

All you did was control the four spears while also focusing on defense at the same time.

“Whatever, let’s try it out.”

He sent the spears flying in four different directions, each of which attacked four different people.

The four of them fought the spear with the aid of their friends and quickly destroyed the four spears.

Alex made four more and sent them to attack. He was judging the strength, durability, and other various properties of the spears he was making.

It was a Heaven Grade skill, so it wasn’t weak at all. However, having to control all four of them made it a little worse than it really was.

If you were fighting a single person, the spears could help quite a bit, but if you were fighting many at once like Alex was right now, the technique wasn’t very useful.

‘Yeah, I should change it and merge it with my metal fist. I wonder how much time that will take,’ Alex wondered.

Alex forgot about the spear and went to fight in closed combat. He hit a person on the chin, breaking their jaw before turning around and slamming his forehead into another man’s chest.

He pulled out his fire whip and lashed it at the incoming spear attack, the clashing of which brought a fire explosion between them.

He then pulled his Whip back and wrapped it around the lion that was trying to sneak behind him and slammed it onto the ground.

The whip unwrapped and Alex swung in around him, attacking 3 incoming attacks at once. Then he snapped the whip at the person swinging an ax at him.

The snap tore off the man’s arm clean off at the elbow and also destroyed his ax at the same time.

Fire blossomed from the whip which he used to send out multiple fire attacks in all directions, attacking everyone at once.

They fought for a few more minutes against Alex, but none came close to even touching him, let alone hurting him. They were all beaten, bloody, and bruised, with a few of them even losing body parts.

A few of them fell to the ground and rolled in pain as they could no longer handle the fight at all.

“Please forgive us,” one of the men shouted.

“Please, don’t kill us.”

One after another, the people stopped fighting and simply gave up. They bowed in front of Alex to make him stop.

Alex only frowned. He wasn’t really satisfied with the fight at all. Even though they were weaker, he had hoped the number would pose somewhat of a threat, but because of how strong he was, nothing of that sort happened at all.

‘I need to find someone that’s stronger if I want to seriously fight,’ he thought. He wondered if he should ask Scarlet to fight him after they returned to the Southern Continent.

She couldn’t fight him before because she was trying to fix her rushed cultivation base, but now that she was fine, she could totally help him with fighting.

He looked at the people in front of him and shook his head. “You were going to kill me to get that sword, weren’t you?” he asked. “Should I let you all go just like that?”

The people shuddered a little and didn’t raise their heads at all.

“Fine, I will let you leave,” Alex said. “Only after you leave behind something of yours.”

“What?” the Saints looked up in worry.

“Leave behind a treasure that’s worth your life,” Alex said. “If you care too much about your treasures, leave behind both your arms.”

“I will give you all a minute to do so. If you don’t, you will leave behind your corpse,” Alex said with a solemn look.

The group looked around, worriedly. Was he really going to make everyone here do that? Was he so keen on making an enemy out of every single one of them?

Sure he could beat them, but could he beat the people behind them? Was he not afraid?

“You all think I’m joking, don’t you?” Alex asked. “Fine, this should let you know I’m serious.”

“I make an oath to the heaven. In the next minute, if the saints inside this barrier do not leave a valuable treasure or cut off their own two hands, I will kill them. If I don’t, the heaven may destroy me.”

The sky rumbled as if accepting Alex’s oath.

Fear gripped the hearts of every single saint inside the barrier. After all, Alex had not only made an oath to kill them but to die if he failed to do so.

That showed how serious the situation was.

One after another, items flew out of the various people’s storage bags. Their treasures were valuable, but not as much as their life.

However, a few of them didn’t have any treasure that they could consider valuable at all. So, instead, they cut off their own arms and presented them to Alex.

Alex waited and watched as time slowly ticked away. His eyes went over each and every single one of the saints, including the ones that were in pain.

He knew everyone had heard his oaths, so all he could do was wait.

He had no intention of killing any one of them. He didn’t even have any intention of fighting any one of them. But that was only if they walked away after learning who he was.

Even after recognizing him, these people decided to attack him and his daughter, so he couldn’t just let them off easily.

The death threat was just that, a threat, and making them lose one of their treasures was just a simple punishment. The only reason he made an oath was to make sure both he and his enemies didn’t try to walk out from this conflict as if nothing had happened.

A minute passed by and Alex saw the many items in front of him as well as a few hands. He took the various treasures that were offered and looked at them.

Not a single Saint had left behind anything so he nodded. He felt the knot in his heart fade away as the oath ended with him gaining everything.

He then put the treasures inside his storage bag and looked at the crowd.

“Leave.”

The barrier ended and both the formation plate and the sword went back to Alex. The crowd wasted no time running away from the place and within moments, the place where they fought was empty, aside from a few hands on the ground.

“Try and change soon or you will one day find yourself following someone that will kill you for less,” he told them.

The young men that had been following Alex since the restaurant was scared witless and immediately ran away.

Finally, Alex turned toward his daughter and smiled.

“Shall we leave then?”
