The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1609: Chapter 1706: Intimidating the Heroes

Seven soul puppet masters struck simultaneously with extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had already surrounded Fang Lin, launching attacks at his vital points from all directions.

Fang Lin’s face remained very calm; he no longer wished to waste time with Ying Tianzheng.

In an instant, Fang Lin disappeared from among the seven soul puppets, appearing right behind Ying Tianzheng in the next moment.

The soul puppets were fast, but Fang Lin was even faster!

Ying Tianzheng didn’t even have time to react before Fang Lin grabbed him by the neck from behind, hoisting him up in the air with his hand.

Not only that, but Fang Lin also struck a heavy blow to Ying Tianzheng’s lower back, a blow that was extremely critical. Ying Tianzheng immediately spurted blood violently, his face full of agony.

“Put away these useless trashes, or I wouldn’t mind seeing a new Crown Prince rise in Qing Nation,” Fang Lin said indifferently.

Ying Tianzheng could only feel his cultivation leaking continuously from his body, and it leaked faster and faster, a sign of a falling realm.

Hearing Fang Lin’s words, Ying Tianzheng was struck with terror and immediately ordered the seven soul puppets to halt, not daring to make any further move.

Fang Lin sneered, leaped up, and dragged Ying Tianzheng straight into Tang Tower.

The crowd on Tang Tower quickly dispersed upon this scene, only to see Fang Lin tossing Ying Tianzheng onto the ground, as wretched as a dead dog.

Two royal experts rushed to check on Ying Tianzheng, their faces unsightly to behold.

The rest of the onlookers looked at Fang Lin with shock in their eyes, totally not expecting Fang Lin’s victory to come this easily.

All those present were discerning people, they could see that if Fang Lin had shown his full strength from the start, Ying Tianzheng wouldn’t have had any chance of striking back.

Those who had previously looked down on Fang Lin now dared not underestimate him at all, some even regarding Fang Lin with a bit of reverence and fear.

Anyone could see that not just anyone could defeat Ying Tianzheng, but Fang Lin won so effortlessly; clearly, Fang Lin’s prowess must be several notches above Ying Tianzheng’s.

Fang Lin did not care about the looks he received from everyone present; defeating Ying Tianzheng was not a challenge for him, an opponent of this level was not worth his attention anymore.

Supported by the two royal experts, Ying Tianzheng stood up, his complexion pale and frightening, his breath extremely weak, clearly indicating his serious injuries.

Ying Tianzheng glared at Fang Lin with eyes filled with anger and resentment. Ever since he stepped into the role of Crown Prince, he had never experienced such a humiliating defeat, especially in front of so many important figures from the Nine Countries, to be so easily defeated by Fang Lin.

The two royal experts also looked at Fang Lin with hostility, seemingly considering whether to take action themselves.

However, they too had doubts in their hearts; even if they were to take action against Fang Lin, could they really secure a victory?

They were well aware of the Crown Prince Ying Tianzheng’s strength, and knew that any one of them would have to exert their full effort to defeat him. Yet Fang Lin overcame Ying Tianzheng with such ease that even if the two of them joined forces, they likely wouldn’t stand a chance against Fang Lin.

“Does the Crown Prince concede, or do you refuse to accept this? If you’re unsatisfied, I wouldn’t mind having another couple rounds, but I won’t be holding back next time,” Fang Lin stated indifferently, his face filled with disdain for Ying Tianzheng.

Ying Tianzheng was so angry that he spewed blood again and, furious, wanted to fight Fang Lin to the death, but he was stopped by two royal experts.

“By the way, I should mention to the Crown Prince that I didn’t even use five percent of my strength,” Fang Lin added with a mischievous smile.

This remark caused Ying Tianzheng to faint from rage, and the two royal experts had no choice but to apologize to the Tang Emperor and dejectedly take Ying Tianzheng away from Tang Tower.

“It seems I have made a fool of myself before everyone here. My modest skills probably don’t catch your eye, but let me remind you that I came here at the invitation of two parties, not to squabble and compete. If there is still someone who wishes to challenge me, they had better weigh their own capabilities first. If you think I am alone and easy to bully, I wouldn’t mind having a few friends from the Sky Swallowing Palace come to exchange a few pointers with you,” Fang Lin said as he swept his gaze over the crowd, his voice dripping with derision.

The moment these words were uttered, everyone present, regardless of who, felt a jolt in their heart, with many turning pale and avoiding Fang Lin’s gaze.

Even those from the Ling Family who had earlier clamored for Fang Lin to undergo an Alchemy Tao trial, like the Head of the Ling Family, were now silent, not seeking discomfort at such a critical juncture.

Joking aside, who would dare to provoke the Sky Swallowing Palace? In this vast world, probably only the Sealing Sword Pavilion would dare to face off against the Sky Swallowing Palace directly; what other power would dare to challenge it?

Cheng Jinhai seemed to be the most elated among all the people present, even managing to stand tall and straighten his back in front of these various powerhouses.

“Our old Cheng is indeed incredibly astute, following Master Fang was a truly wise choice,” Cheng Jinhai thought to himself, a proud smile plastered on his face, as if he, Cheng Jinhai, was the one who defeated Ying Tianzheng, not Fang Lin.

“Please take your seats, everyone. We’ve already been delayed for some time,” the Tang Emperor spoke.

Only then did everyone with their own thoughts take their seats, with Fang Lin naturally taking his rightful place at the front row, and perhaps intentionally, he took the very seat that Ying Tianzheng had occupied before.

This action made many people’s eyelids twitch. Master Fang, who had seemed so humble and low-key before, was now demonstrating such blatant arrogance.

But nobody dared to say anything. After all, he had defeated Ying Tianzheng and even brought up the backing of the Sky Swallowing Palace; who would dare to speak against Fang Lin? Who would have the courage to challenge him now?

Cheng Jinhai naturally had no right to take a seat here, not even in the last row was there a place for Cheng Jinhai to sit.

However, he just stood behind Fang Lin without any sign of embarrassment, but rather a sense of pride.

On the high stage for the Pill Competition below, two figures had appeared. Fang Lin recognized one of them; it was Gao Yun, the Alchemy Tao Talent from the Pill Alliance, whom Fang Lin had met during the Pill Pulsar contest in Flat Sea City.

The other was a graceful woman with a tall stature, even taller than most men, dressed in the traditional Pill Refiner’s robe, and despite the robe’s looseness, it couldn’t hide her enchanting figure, which only added to the allure and provocation.

Without a doubt, this woman was the Alchemy Tao Talent from the Long Family, Long Zhixin’s Elder Cousin, Long Cai’er.
