Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2092  A Losing Battle

Alex\'s shield appeared at the same time, blocking the attack from the man. In a single strike, the shield lost a large chunk of the Qi within it. A few more attacks and it would be useless.

"Dammit! This man is in the mid to upper Immortal Spirit range," Alex said internally. "Godslayer, I\'ll be needing your aid."

Godslayer had been prompted awake long ago and had been watching the whole thing. "Wait, won\'t the cat be more helpful?" he asked even as tendrils of darkness escaped from him, entering Alex\'s body.

Alex accepted the tendrils, using them to empower himself. He had no idea how strong he could get with Godslayer\'s help, but he hoped it would be a lot. Both Death and Darkness corrupted his body at the same time, forcing him to release strength that was not there, at the cost of damaging his body. The damage would only be temporary, so Alex wasn\'t worried, but if it took too long, it would enter the permanent damage territory.

Alex dashed forward, swinging his sword. God Rending Death Blade surged out of his sword making its way toward the man.

The man stopped it but was surprised when he did so. He had expected Alex\'s attack to be weak, but something was wrong here. It was a bit too strong.

He stepped back, confused, looking at Alex. He frowned at the dark pupil around Alex\'s eyes as well as the dark veins all throughout him. He couldn\'t tell what was happening with Alex.

Alex used the opportunity to take out a few pills and eat them. He ate all the pills at once, letting them enter his body. His intent was not to use the pills for their effect, but rather the energy within them.

Godslayer would require a lot of energy from his body, so supplementing that loss of energy right away was a good way to not run out of energy right from the start.

"Did you see that? He\'s too strong. My help isn\'t helping you reach his strength," Godslayer shouted. "You need the cat\'s help.\'

It was true that Pearl would render this whole battle useless thanks to Bai Jingshen\'s defensive technique. But that was considering the man had no method of escaping or protecting himself. He had run away from the Blue Silk sect for so long, so using Pearl would have to be a last-case scenario.

Besides, there was another reason why he couldn\'t use Pearl.

"I want to kill this bastard with my own hands."

Godslayer remained silent for a bit and then said, "Dammit! I understand. But I can\'t guarantee you\'ll be stronger than him. I can\'t guarantee anything in my current state."

"Just give me all you have, that\'s all I\'m asking."

"You already have it."

The dark tendrils covered his face, his body, and his arms, and extended onto Midnight as well. Together, his strength reached new heights. Not enough to kill the man at once, but maybe there was something he could do.

Alex dashed back into the fight once again, swinging his sword toward the man. The man retaliated by quickly throwing back the massive chain once more that came for him.

The shield flew up once more and blocked the attack, while Alex\'s attack landed on the man. The man blocked it, as easily as before, but was still very much surprised by Alex\'s strength. He feared there may be more than what Alex was already showing, so he needed to be very careful.

Alex attacked once more, forcing the man to block it. Just as he did, he used his Heaven\'s Impact on the man. Over the past few years, his Spiritual strength had improved to a point where it was much stronger than what was possible at his current cultivation base.

Thanks to that, even if it wasn\'t harmful, it was annoying enough for the man before him to deal with.

The sect master fell back, using his own spiritual energy to stop the attack. The attack was weaker in strength when compared to what his techniques were presenting at the moment, so he could have been fine even without blocking it.

The man pulled his chain back and swung it from the other direction, trying to hit Alex on the other side. Alex didn\'t stop the attack this time around with this shield, and instead just outright dodged it by teleporting. He teleported right next to the man, swinging his sword that was full of True Metal Dao.

He let out the Endless Severing Strike, that cut at him from right before him. The sect master hadn\'t expected teleportation at all, so he was caught a little off guard. He managed to put up his Qi to defend himself, but he couldn\'t use any techniques at all.

The attack landed, lacerating at the man. It cut him, but only on the surface. Still, being able to put a mark on someone so much stronger than himself was enough to make the sect master realize that Alex was more of a threat than could be imagined and one that could not be allowed to grow on its own.

\'It\'s a good thing I\'m going to kill him today,\' the man thought. \'Or else, he would be a hindrance to my master\'s plan if I let him get away.\' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

There was one more reason for him to kill Alex now.

As that thought passed through him, he sensed Alex teleport again. The chain spun around him, protecting him from all directions just in case, but Alex wasn\'t attacking.

Instead, he had teleported next to Wang Yanwei, grabbing her.

"You won\'t get away from me!" the man shouted, sending the chain toward Alex and Wang Yanwei. The shield appeared before him, taking the brunt of the attack, and protecting him.

At the same time, Wang Yanwei disappeared.

The sect master couldn\'t help but be puzzled by the scenario. There was a formation that stopped people from teleporting away, so he couldn\'t understand how Wang Yanwei had disappeared.

He feared at that moment that Alex had an artifact that allowed him to teleport as he wanted to. He couldn\'t let that continue. He couldn\'t let him move as he wanted to.

Alex could feel the Qi inside of his stomach dissipating around that moment. The pills he had eaten would be used up soon, and soon it would consume the energy from his body.

Godslayer was helping, but his help was a double-edged sword. He could only keep it up for so long without harming himself.

\'I will have to end it quickly,\' Alex thought. \'One way or another.\'
