The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1653: Time to Hit the Road

This was a duel whose outcome had been decided long ago.

Liang Zhiyin was merely at the peak of the Spirit Bone realm, and now her vitality was fading, greatly diminishing her former strength.

But Lin Qishuang was different, having stepped into the Spirit Source realm, she was superior to Liang Zhiyin in both condition and strength.

In such a situation, how could Liang Zhiyin be a match for Lin Qishuang?

“Valley Master!” Mei Yingxue, Zhao Tingfang, and others cried out in alarm, they saw Liang Zhiyin being overpowered by Lin Qishuang, continuously spitting blood from her mouth.

Liang Zhiyin held her longsword, exerting all her might to combat Lin Qishuang, utilizing various martial arts of Heavenly Fragrance Valley.

Although she was only at the peak of the Spirit Bone realm, Liang Zhiyin was after all the Valley Master of Heavenly Fragrance Valley, and had immersed herself in the Spirit Bone realm for many years, mastering many of the valley’s martial arts.

Therefore, if facing a martial artist of one or two levels in the Spirit Source realm, Liang Zhiyin still had the strength to fight.

“Senior sister, you are even weaker than before!” Lin Qishuang laughed loudly, and with her palm impressions flying about, a series of overwhelming palm forces struck, knocking Liang Zhiyin down from the air.

Liang Zhiyin vomited blood again, her face had turned deathly pale, and her energy was extremely unstable.

It was visible to the naked eye that the right hand which Liang Zhiyin used to hold her sword was starting to tremble.

“You can’t even hold your sword now, what will you use to fight me?” Lin Qishuang sneered coldly, as her golden feet alternately opened and closed, enveloping Liang Zhiyin in a brilliant golden light.

Liang Zhiyin’s body sank, as if a small mountain was pressing down on her. In this critical moment, the Spirit Eye on her forehead opened, attempting to counteract Lin Qishuang’s suppression using the power of spirit eyes.

Bang!

Lin Qishuang suddenly appeared in front of Liang Zhiyin and struck her abdomen with a palm.

With this strike, Liang Zhiyin was hit hard, her body flying backwards, her face full of pain.

“Valley Master, we will help you!” Shen Xingzhu and a few other second-generation disciples shouted, no longer able to stand by, they prepared to help Liang Zhiyin.

“Don’t come over!” Liang Zhiyin suddenly shouted loudly, instantly intimidating those second-generation disciples.

The usually kind Liang Zhiyin had never spoken so sternly to them before; this was the first time in their lives they saw Liang Zhiyin so serious.

Perhaps, it was also the last time.

Liang Zhiyin slowly stood up, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth, her white hair somewhat disheveled, her youthful face no longer had its usual splendor, showing her aged appearance.

Liang Zhiyin was ultimately old, she managed to preserve her youthful appearance all through these years, but she had lived for several centuries and could not break through to the Spirit Source realm, unable to extend her life further.

Today’s battle, whether Liang Zhiyin won or lost, she could not escape death.

Perhaps the only difference was whether she would die by Lin Qishuang’s hand or not.

Lin Qishuang’s expression was cold, showing no pride about having the upper hand, and even felt somewhat bored inside.

She had waited so many years, cultivated painstakingly for so many years, all to return to Heavenly Fragrance Valley, to defeat Liang Zhiyin, and to take back the position of Valley Master that originally belonged to her.

But now, when all this was readily attainable before her, Lin Qishuang suddenly felt uninterested.

Yes, the hardships she endured over the years were all for today, and as she was about to achieve her goal, she felt an unexpected emptiness in her heart.

But this would not shake Lin Qishuang’s determination to kill Liang Zhiyin, as Lin Qishuang swore to make Liang Zhiyin pay tenfold for everything she had done to her in the past.

“Junior Sister Lin, you have won. After my death, Heavenly Fragrance Valley will be yours,” Liang Zhiyin struggled to stand up using the longsword supported on the ground and said to Lin Qishuang with a smile.

“Heavenly Fragrance Valley should have been mine since that year,” Lin Qishuang said coldly.

Liang Zhiyin nodded slightly: “Indeed, it should have been yours. Back then, I was overtaken by greed and devised a plan that mislead our master about you, leading to your expulsion from Heavenly Fragrance Valley. I even tried to kill you to avert future problems, but unfortunately, I didn’t succeed. Over the years, I always thought that with your temperament, you would definitely come back. Sure enough, you did return.”

Lin Qishuang gritted her teeth, her face full of hatred: “Your scheme back then was indeed extremely insidious. If it weren’t for the master’s sentimentality in sparing my life, I might have really been killed by you.”

Liang Zhiyin offered a bitter smile, without any defense; indeed, she had done those things back then.

At this moment, Liang Zhiyin had no regrets to speak of. If there were any, it would only be that she regretted not having completely eliminated Lin Qishuang back then, which laid the groundwork for today’s troubles.

If given a choice, Liang Zhiyin would still use schemes to remove Lin Qishuang and assume the position of Valley Master of Heavenly Fragrance Valley.

The grudges from the past inevitably had to come to an end.

No one is perfect, even the Valley Master Liang Zhiyin, who appears so righteous and majestic in the eyes of many Heavenly Fragrance disciples, had committed sly and despicable acts in the past.

All the Heavenly Fragrance disciples had sad expressions, especially the second-generation disciples taught by Liang Zhiyin themselves. They understood that at this moment, only the death of Liang Zhiyin could make Lin Qishuang cease her actions.

“Junior Sister Lin, I hope that after my death, you can bring Heavenly Fragrance Valley back to its glory. I am an incompetent Valley Master, but you are different, Junior Sister; you have the capability to do better than me,” Liang Zhiyin said, then glanced at the distant cliffs.

Fang Lin and Dugu Nian stood there, with no intention of making a move.

Liang Zhiyin sighed inwardly. She still had a slight hope that they would intervene, but now it seemed that they were unlikely to get involved in this centuries-old entanglement of Heavenly Fragrance Valley.

“After saying so much, it’s time for you to go on your way,” Lin Qishuang quickly walked up to Liang Zhiyin, raised her palm, ready to end her life.

Just at that moment, Liang Zhiyin suddenly slapped the Nine Palace Bag, and a burst of cold light appeared, like a small snake.

The snake was too fast for Lin Qishuang to react, and it directly lunged at Lin Qishuang’s neck.

At the same time, Liang Zhiyin forcefully circulated her power, swinging the sword in her hand, actually using this opportunity to try and kill Lin Qishuang in one fell swoop.

A ruthless look flashed in Liang Zhiyin’s eyes; although she only had less than a year to live, she felt somewhat unwilling to be killed by Lin Qishuang right now.

Thus, she had been acting all along, waiting for the moment Lin Qishuang would let her guard down, to use her trump card to kill Lin Qishuang.

The silver snake was a venomous creature raised by Liang Zhiyin for many years; just one bite from this snake could claim a life in a moment.

Even for a martial artist like Lin Qishuang, being bitten on such a fatal spot as the neck, the odds were certainly not in her favor.

But the next moment, Liang Zhiyin’s entire person was stupefied.

The silver snake had been frozen inside a chunk of ice and hadn’t managed to bite Lin Qishuang at all.

Puff!

Lin Qishuang’s expression was impassive, and with an exceptionally cold demeanor, her hand penetrated Liang Zhiyin’s chest.
