The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 834 - : Ling Zhong’s Backup Plan
Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Ling Zhong’s Backup Plan
Fang Lin’s sudden appearance caught Ling Zhong somewhat off-guard, but being an experienced martial artist, he immediately twisted his body around at the moment he sensed danger and launched a punch towards Fang Lin.
Fang Lin threw a punch in return, and the two fists collided solidly.
With a bang, Ling Zhong staggered backward, his face full of shock.
On the other hand, Fang Lin’s body merely swayed slightly before he steadied himself, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
“Your physical body seems quite ordinary,” Fang Lin said with a smile, his tone brimming with undisguised mockery.
Ling Zhong’s face grew extremely ugly. As a practitioner of the Spirit Vein at the fourth level, he was actually sent reeling by a single punch from Fang Lin.
Although there had been rumors that Fang Lin possessed the strength to rival practitioners of the Spirit Vein, Ling Zhong had not believed them, considering them exaggerations.
But today, after truly clashing with Fang Lin, Ling Zhong finally understood that those seemingly absurd rumors were in fact true. Fang Lin definitely had the power to contend with practitioners of the Spirit Vein, and even possessed an extremely formidable body, to the extent that even he, a fourth level Spirit Vein martial artist, could not overcome Fang Lin in terms of physical strength.
Ling Zhong’s expression was ugly; being sent sprawling by a martial artist from Heavenly Origin was truly a blow to his pride.
“The physical body is just one part of strength. Even if you do have a strong body, you are still no match for me!” Ling Zhong said coldly, as his Spirit Eye on his forehead opened.
A large square purple seal roared out from the power of Spirit Eye, pulsating with vigorous energy.
As the seal came bearing down, it grew to the size of a mountain in midair, its momentum terrifying.
Fang Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a certain object flew out from his own Spirit Eyes as well.
It was a dark-colored seal, appearing quite ordinary and lacking dazzling brilliance; at first glance, it seemed inconspicuous.
“Go!” Fang Lin urged the dark seal forward, sending it directly towards the mountainous purple seal.
Boom!!!!
The two seals clashed, releasing astonishing energy. For a moment, they were equally matched, as if neither could gain the upper hand.
The light from Ling Zhong’s Spirit Eyes intensified, casting its glow around him, which instantly bolstered his presence significantly.
Bang!
Ling Zhong suddenly attacked, his speed also extremely fast. He transformed his hand into a claw and aimed directly for Fang Lin’s chest.
Fang Lin seemed to glimpse an eagle swooping down, and felt a chill at his chest.
“Well done!” Fang Lin laughed heartily as he unleashed the power of the Demon Bone. A Kylin Phantom appeared, standing proudly in front of him.
“Huh?” Ling Zhong’s brows furrowed deeply as his fierce claw landed straight on the Kylin Phantom.
The Kylin Phantom let out an angry roar, seemingly enraged by Ling Zhong’s action, and raised its Kylin claw to strike back fiercely at Ling Zhong.
Ling Zhong was sent flying, a deep wound visible to the bone on his chest, from which blood surged, a ghastly sight.
“How could this happen?” Ling Zhong turned pale, realizing that had he not sensed something was wrong and retreated a little, his entire chest might have been ripped open.
Protected by the power of Spirit Eyes, how could he be so vulnerable? Could that phantom really be that powerful?
He certainly had no idea that Fang Lin’s Demon Bone had already possessed immense power. Now that it was activated, it was lucky for Ling Zhong not to be crushed on the spot by the Kylin Phantom.
Indeed, the Demon Bone was now Fang Lin’s strongest reliance, with his physical body being secondary.
“Do you still want to fight?” Fang Lin asked coldly, looking at Ling Zhong.
Ling Zhong gritted his teeth, directly took out a pill to swallow, and sprinkled some white medicinal powder on his chest wound.
The injury on Ling Zhong’s chest, where you could previously see his ribs, was now rapidly healing; there was hardly any sign of injury left.
“As expected of a family specializing in the Alchemy Tao, the pills you’ve prepared are quite good,” Fang Lin said with a laugh, though his tone seemed more like mockery.
At this moment, the two great seals each flew back to Ling Zhong and Fang Lin’s hands. Ling Zhong stored the seal within his Spirit Eye, while Fang Lin also put away the dark seal.
This dark seal was naturally obtained from the two Martial Artists of the Western Guarding Palace during the time at the Hundred Beast Mountain—it was a treasure of the Lord of the Western Town, and now, it had become Fang Lin’s possession. Even if Lu Feng wanted to reclaim it, he had no means to do so, especially since even Lu Feng himself was now under Fang Lin’s control, let alone his treasure.
At that time, in the Alchemy Tao Ling Family, many members of the Ling family were also paying close attention to this battle.
“This damn Fang Lin is so strong that even Ling Zhong can’t take him down!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Ling Zhong still has some moves he hasn’t used yet.”
“That’s right, although Fang Lin is strong, Ling Zhong should be able to defeat him.”
“However, this means that even if Ling Zhong defeats Fang Lin, some of our Ling family’s cards will be revealed.”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as we can show Fang Lin how formidable our Ling Family is, it’s worth it.”
“Fang Lin has insulted our Ling family. It’s a pity that in this Nine Countries Talent battle, we cannot harm human life; otherwise, I really hope that Ling Zhong could execute this boy.”
“There will be a chance. He won’t be able to jump around for much longer.”
…
Inside the North Town Hall, Ye Mengxian and a group of Pill Refiners from the North Town Hall were watching this battle as well.
Most of the Pill Refiners from the North Town Hall were hoping for Fang Lin to win, but there were also some who had closer ties to the Ling Family and hence were hoping that Ling Zhong would win.
“Although Fang Lin has gained a temporary advantage, Ling Zhong must still have a backup plan. Fang Lin is doomed to lose in this battle!” Some people sneered inwardly.
In an isolated space, Ling Zhong snorted coldly and took out a bead from his Nine Palace Bag, crushing it.
Suddenly, a set of azure blue armor appeared on Ling Zhong.
The entire aura of Ling Zhong changed because of the appearance of this set of armor.
It was as if his realm had also been raised considerably by the existence of the armor.
This azure blue armor shone with a faint light and was made of extraordinary material.
“Now, I am comparable to someone with the power of seven spirit vein layers. What do you have to compete with me?” Ling Zhong looked at Fang Lin with a ferocious smile, as if he had already secured the victory over Fang Lin.
Fang Lin curled his lip, looking disdainfully at Ling Zhong.
“Just a set of armor, and it gives you this much confidence?” Saying that, Fang Lin also stimulated the Demon Bone of the Kylin, and immediately a pitch-black and fearsome Kylin armor covered his entire body, fitting tightly and only leaving his eyes uncovered.

“You have your armor, but I have something even stronger than yours!” Fang Lin declared, his figure burst into motion, accompanied by the roar of the Kylin, charging straight at Ling Zhong.
Ling Zhong had the azure blue armor on him and was full of confidence, not showing the slightest fear, opting to meet Fang Lin’s power head-on.
The two traded blows with their fists, completely abandoning defense and clashing in the most direct way, making the scene incredibly fierce.
“You are bound to lose!” Ling Zhong roared.
“Heh,” Fang Lin responded with a cold laugh, once again employing the martial arts of the Kylin.
