The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1835: Chapter 1933: A Desperate Struggle

"What do you want to do?" Fang Lin’s tone was tranquil, as though he hadn’t noticed the woman’s dark expression at all.𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The woman in the black dress glared at Fang Lin, a reckless determination in her eyes, and said, "What exactly do you plan to do with me? Give me a quick answer, life or death!"

A hint of disdain appeared on Fang Lin’s lips, "In my hands, whether you live or die is up to me. You have no choice."

The woman in the black dress retorted angrily, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll fight you to the death?"

Fang Lin’s look of disdain intensified, "Fight to the death? What makes you think you have the capability to make that happen? I could kill you without even lifting a finger."

Cold light flashed in the woman’s eyes, "Do you really think I have no means of self-defense? Force me to use it, and not even an army of Bone Demons can save your life."

"If you truly possess such formidable means, then bring it on. I’d like to see if it’s as powerful as you claim." Fang Lin replied nonchalantly, as if he didn’t care at all.

Grinding her silver teeth in determination, the woman suddenly slapped the Nine Palace Bag at her waist.

The next moment, an object appeared in her hand, a Yin Yang Fish Plate covered with intricate patterns and an inexplicable aura.

Fang Lin glanced at the object in her hand, his expression unchanged, though internally he felt a slight twinge of surprise and doubt.

He could sense its power—it’s far from ordinary, possibly a life-bound treasure of a Heavenly Mandate powerhouse, harboring terrifying strength.

"Do you know what this is?" the woman in the black dress asked, holding up the Yin Yang Fish Plate.

Fang Lin shook his head. He truly didn’t know what it was, but it vaguely resembled a treasure belonging to the Taoist Sect among the three sects.

Yet, such an extraordinary treasure shouldn’t exist in the modern Taoist Sect. So, how had this woman come to possess it?

"I told you before, I’m closely connected to the Unparalleled Eight Emperors. I stole this from the Black White Taoist Sage, one of the Eight Emperors. It’s his life-bound treasure and can unleash attacks equivalent to a Heavenly Mandate powerhouse." The woman spoke coldly.

Though Fang Lin had guessed some of it, hearing about the artifact’s origins still surprised him.

A life-bound treasure of the Black White Taoist Sage, one of the Unparalleled Eight Emperors—it’s not suspicious. As a member of the Eight Emperors, the Black White Taoist Sage had reached the Heavenly Mandate level. Naturally, his life-bound treasure would wield formidable power.

This understanding made Fang Lin feel secretly apprehensive. If the woman wasn’t bluffing, the Yin Yang Fish Plate posed a considerable threat to him, possibly leading to serious consequences.

After all, Fang Lin had no way to counter the life-bound treasures of a Heavenly Mandate powerhouse, and not even eighteen Bone Demons would likely withstand the Yin Yang Fish Plate.

Yet, Fang Lin wasn’t convinced the woman wasn’t bluffing. If she was just posturing, he wouldn’t hold back.

"Do you think I’d be easily intimidated by what you hold?" Fang Lin sneered.

Seeing Fang Lin’s disbelief, the woman in the black dress stopped engaging in pointless talk. She gently tapped her finger on the Yin Yang Fish Plate.

The plate began to radiate with light, dispersing the Yin Yang energies, affecting the entire Ancient Wilderness battlefield with a tremor.

Fang Lin’s expression changed promptly. Internally, he was surprised—it seemed the artifact was genuine, not the woman’s bluff.

"With this in hand, if you don’t release me, I’ll fight you to the death." The woman stated firmly, fully confident.

Fang Lin remained silent, pondering. He genuinely feared the Yin Yang Fish Plate, but he was reluctant to release her merely because of a treasure’s presence.

The woman held significant value to Fang Lin. She knew many things about the Unparalleled Eight Emperors that needed to be pried from her. Besides, she might harbor other secrets.

Aside from that, just her cultivation level was a reason reluctance to kill her arose in Fang Lin.

She was an Immortal expert. With her under his control, why waste it by killing her? It would be a significant loss.

Fang Lin always considered turning her into a puppet—it would be an excellent choice whether for him to command or to hand over to Dugu Nian.

But now, it appeared managing her wouldn’t be easy—she was an ancient monster who had survived the old eras and possessed some genuine artifacts.

She had never exposed them before, but it seemed the woman could no longer endure, so she was straightforward about negotiating with Fang Lin.

"There’s still a poison pill in your body. Even if you dare to fight me, I can make your life unbearable in an instant." As he spoke, Fang Lin took out a white bead and held it in his hand.

Instantly, severe pain surged within the woman, so abruptly that she almost lost all her strength, nearly collapsing onto the ground.

"Just a poison pill—I would rather abandon this body than remain under your control." The woman gritted her teeth, a look of resolve on her face.

Fang Lin’s brow furrowed. This woman seemed genuinely desperate, no longer caring about the poison pill inside her.

"Seeking death!" Fang Lin, never one to mince words, decided he wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless if she continued her defiance.

With a shout, a black ancient sword appeared in his hands, and three Bone Demons charged toward the woman.

Not only that, but Fang Lin also kept triggering the poison pill inside her with the bead, plunging her into intense agony.

"Then let’s fight to the death today!" the woman shrieked, injecting her power into the Yin Yang Fish Plate.

This time, the plate radiated strongly, with a booming sound—a stream of Yin Yang energy transformed into two massive flying fish, one black, one white, throwing those three attacking Bone Demons to the ground.

The Yin Yang Fish then rushed toward Fang Lin. Even hundreds of steps away, Fang Lin could feel the immense pressure bearing down.

This was the aura of a Heavenly Mandate powerhouse, and although it wasn’t the powerhouse himself attacking, the Yin Yang Fish Plate’s power was no weaker than a powerhouse’s strike.

Fang Lin deftly maneuvered away from the incoming Yin Yang Fish, continuously provoking the poison pill inside her.

"Ah!!!" The woman’s screams were poignant. Her body writhed as though being torn apart, with blood seeping from her orifices.
