The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1603: Chapter 1700: Ying Tianzheng

“Nephew, this is not your Qing Nation, it’s best to restrain your words and deeds a bit.” The Tang Emperor glanced at the Crown Prince of Qing Nation and spoke lightly, but his words already carried a warning tone.

Yet the Crown Prince of Qing Nation was staring fiercely at Fang Lin, his eyes filled with intense ferocity, as if a wild beast focusing on its prey.

Fang Lin maintained a calm demeanor, not perturbed by the Crown Prince’s attitude and felt no ripple in his heart.

“If Your Highness wishes to have a contest, be it Alchemy Tao or Martial Arts, I am all for it. However, I fear if Your Highness loses, it might be embarrassing. After all, a nation’s Crown Prince losing face in public wouldn’t be too pleasant,” Fang Lin said with a smile.

“Ridiculous, you Fang Lin are nothing but a lowly ant from a humble background, previously clinging to the Pill Alliance, and now to the Sky Swallowing Palace. I cannot stand seeing your kind flaunting power!” the Crown Prince of Qing Nation said harshly, his words already insulting Fang Lin.

As soon as these words came out, the other attendees’ faces changed, and they sneered inwardly, thinking that this Crown Prince Ying Tianzheng truly wanted to have a bitter fight with Fang Lin.

This was a spectacle many in the audience were eager to see: firstly to assess the Crown Prince’s capability, and secondly to witness Master Fang’s Martial Arts cultivation.

As long as the fire did not spread to them, these so-called dignitaries were happy to watch a good show.

Naturally, there were also people trying to smooth things over, hoping both parties would cool down and avoid escalation.

The Heaven King of East Pole, looking outside Tang Tower, seemed completely unconcerned about the events unfolding inside it.

Dragon Haotian also remained silent, not uttering another word.

The Tang Emperor found it odd that these two remained silent. Considering today was the day for a contest between the two Alchemy Tao sides, they should have been preventing Ying Tianzheng and Fang Lin from clashing. But now, it seemed they were inclined to let it unfold.

The Tang Emperor frowned slightly, this was his territory, and he did not want Ying Tianzheng and Fang Lin to fight. After all, one was the Crown Prince of Qing Nation and the other belonged to the Sky Swallowing Palace; any incident here could implicate his Tang Country.

Although the Tang Emperor was not a fainthearted man, it’s always better to have fewer troubles.

In response to Ying Tianzheng’s continuous provocations, Fang Lin reacted decisively, gesturing him with a hook of his finger and a slight smile on his lips.

This gesture was clearly telling Ying Tianzheng, if you’re capable, make your move.

Ying Tianzheng immediately looked at the Tang Emperor and said, “Tang Emperor, I must fight him.”

Seeing this, the Tang Emperor looked at Fang Lin’s reaction, which was composed as ever.

“Fine, since you both want to fight, go inside the imperial city.” The Tang Emperor said somewhat helplessly.

Ying Tianzheng sneered and leaped directly from Tang Tower, landing in a vast open space inside the imperial city.

Fang Lin also jumped out of Tang Tower and stood opposite Ying Tianzheng.

The crowd above Tang Tower moved to the other side, looking down from a height at the two below, each with a different expression on their faces.

The Tang Emperor waved his hand towards the area below, signaling the guards and royal experts to disperse and give space to the two men.

“This is probably a clash of titans,” a Sect Grandmaster remarked.

“Not necessarily, in terms of martial strength, among the young generation of the Upper Three Countries, I fear no one can surpass His Highness,” another person shook his head and said.

This statement received approval from many dignitaries; if it really came down to Martial Arts strength, they still preferred Ying Tianzheng, the Crown Prince of Qing Nation.

More than a decade ago, Ying Tianzheng was already unparalleled among his peers in the Upper Three Countries, almost all the youths of his generation had lost to Ying Tianzheng.

In the past decade, the extent of Ying Tianzheng’s power has become unknown to anyone, but it is definitely much stronger than it was over ten years ago.

Among the sons of the current Qing Emperor, many are exceptionally talented, but the position of Crown Prince of the Qing Nation indisputably fell to Ying Tianzheng, leaving other princes utterly incapable of competing with him.

Because Ying Tianzheng, with his overwhelming power, firmly suppressed the other princes.

The Qing royal family venerates martial strength, and every generation’s Qing Emperor must rely on exceptional martial prowess to ascend the throne.

Old Emperor Qin did so, the current Qing Emperor does the same, and so will the next Qing Emperor.

Ying Tianzheng’s reputation stems not just from being the Crown Prince of Qing Nation, but also from the fact that he once fought and defeated the strongest youths of the Upper Three Countries without rival.

As for Fang Lin, his standout aspects are more in his Alchemy Tao skills, while his martial prowess, due to the incident at the Taoist Sect seven years ago that was not widely publicized, is known by very few, thus many are unclear about Fang Lin’s true martial arts capability.

Even the Qing Emperor, after returning to Qing Nation from a harsh defeat in the Extreme North Land, did not reveal the extent of Fang Lin’s abilities.

Had the Qing Emperor known that his son would confront Fang Lin, he would likely have warned Ying Tianzheng early on, to never make an enemy out of Fang Lin.

Unfortunately, the Qing Emperor, secluded in retreat, was too late to give Ying Tianzheng any warning.

Ying Tianzheng’s stature isn’t particularly tall, but his presence alone already exudes immense power. Only unbeaten champions possess such an aura, making ordinary Martial Artists feel weaker by three parts before even lifting a finger against Ying Tianzheng.

Fang Lin, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, said: “Crown Prince sure has an imposing aura, but when it comes to actual combat, I wonder how much real skill you possess.”

Ying Tianzheng snorted coldly: “To deal with you, this Crown Prince doesn’t even need to use half of my strength.”

Fang Lin looked surprised: “Oh, so the Crown Prince is going easy on me? Then I must really thank His Highness.”

“Enough nonsense!” Ying Tianzheng glared, and suddenly stepped towards Fang Lin.

Boom!!!

With that step, the solid ground instantly cracked, as a surging force from beneath assaulted Fang Lin.

Moreover, this force split into two and kept spreading, causing the ground beneath both of them to tremble, and cracks spread out densely like a spider web.

And at the center of this web was Fang Lin!

“Trying to seize the initiative? Crown Prince should first weigh how much he can actually handle.” Fang Lin laughed loudly, and with a fierce stomp.

Boom!!!

The fiercely trembling ground suddenly calmed down, and the surging forces targeting Fang Lin also came to an abrupt halt.

Ying Tianzheng’s expression changed, while the onlookers above the Tang Tower were utterly astonished.

“It seems that Master Fang is also not weak in his martial prowess,” one spectator said, quite surprised.

“Not just strong, he might truly be capable of combatting Ying Tianzheng,” another clan leader remarked.
