Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1630

Chapter 1630 Cut

Alex didn't have any opportunity to focus on the teleportation aura that gathered around him. He was in a much more hurry to look at the man that was ready to kill him.

Anger swept through him and Midnight appeared in his arm. At the same time, he let out a blast of Spiritual energy that swept through everything in front of him in an area, disregarding how much energy he wasted using it like this.

As the spiritual energy swept past Zhao Boqin, he felt his head grow a little dull, even with his artifact especially meant to stop mental attacks. He pulled back his spiritual sense to protect his spiritual sea and quickly got the reins on his mind back. A moment later, he looked up to find Alex moving away from there, rushing toward the edge of the sound-stopping barrier.

Without pausing, he channeled the Immortal Qi that was already in the spear and shot it toward Alex.

All colors in the world were gone the moment the attack was launched.

A golden dragon rushed out of the spear in a roar, crumbling the space around it as it flew toward Alex in the distance. The world seemed to dim as it flew, shockwaves spreading away from it, that collapsed in on itself as the dragon moved faster than the shockwave itself.

The compounded shockwave let out an even stronger shockwave, all of which perfectly enhanced the attack as it landed on Alex.

Had Alex tried to protect himself, or even just try to move aside, he might have been able to do something. However, moving in a straight line with his back turned to Zhao Boqin, he had no chance of escaping this attack.

The massive dragon struck Alex in the back. And Alex burst like a bubble.

Zhao Boqin was taken aback. It truly was like a bubble. Alex exploded in a burst of light as the golden dragon rushed into the distance. Vile screams rang from outside at the sight of the dragon, and Zhao Boqin wasn't sure if he attacked someone accidentally.

He didn't have the time for such thoughts. Confusion filled his brain. Confusion about what happened and how Alex disappeared into nothing. He let out his spiritual sense to see how Alex had died without blood and guts.

And that was when he sensed the oddity that was right in front of him.

Hidden to the eyes, but not to the senses, Alex was standing in front of him, right where he had been the entire time. And in his hand was a sword with strength that made Zhao Boqin's hair stand on its ends.

He quickly reached for more Qi inside of him, but it was all too late.

Alex swung and the world was cut into two for Zhao Boqin.

Zhao Boqin stared at Alex as the right half of his body slid down first, and then his other half. The two images he saw from each eye were vivid even with the two halves separated at that moment.

It was as if it took a moment for his body to realize that he had been cut into two.

Life left Zhao Boqin's eyes and just like that, he died.

Alex felt a tinge of pain inside his head. Not only had use used regular Qi and Sword Aura while using this technique, but he had added Blood Aura as well to improve its strength just a touch more.

Doing so had left him light-headed for just a few moments. Those few moments were enough for him to slip his control on the teleportation aura that was gathering around him, and it readied to take him away.

Alex said nothing and prepared to leave, but as he did so, he saw a teleportation aura around Zhoa Boqin's body as well. Belated it may be, or even dead, his talisman had activated as it was time to leave.

The two halves of the body blinked out of existence before Alex could even do something. He grunted in frustration at seeing that and left himself to the mercy of the teleportation aura that surrounded him.

Moments later, he teleported out as well.

He arrived on a side of the island, with the ocean in front of him, and not so many people in between them. There were barely 4 people within a hundred meters of him, and even those he did not recognize all that well.

He looked around, searching for dismembered bodies that might have teleported out. However, he didn't notice any of them. Seeing the people around him, he was sure this wasn't the only place they had come out to.

Many people were missing, so there had to be other locations around the island that people were teleported to. He kept his ears wide open to hear sounds of shrieking to see if someone had screamed upon the sight of a perfectly halved human.

He heard no such screams.

A soldier of the army was telling everyone where they should head over to, and Alex quickly followed his direction to move toward the beach. He flew through the sky, making his way toward a ship that was in the distance. It was the only ship there it seemed, and it was waiting for their arrival.

The ship was headed by Mao Yingtai, the Silver Queen. And today it seemed her mood was the serious sort. Alex wondered when she was last in her bubbly mood. To his surprise, he looked forward to that more than this.

The Queen flew to the sky before he could even land on the deck and quickly gave greetings. Before she could get too far with her greetings, however, he spoke up.

"I killed a man," he said.

There was no way people weren't going to find out sooner or later. Many knew he was with the man at the end, and with only him coming out, there would be questions and suspicions soon enough.

He would rather deal with it already.

The Silver Queen gasped in surprise. "Death? In the Martial Ground?" she asked. The possibility sounded preposterous to her, as the talisman would stop all lethal attacks. At least they were made that way.

"The leader of the 8th Battalion of the Talon Legion, Zhao Boqin attacked me just moments ago, and in retaliation, I attacked him as well. My attack was lethal, and he died."

The gasp Mao Yingtai made this time sounded much more serious than the last one. "Your Majesty! A Legionnaire's death, especially someone like him, is too serious a crime that I cannot help you with. This is beyond me."

Alex nodded. "Who will handle it then?" he asked.

The queen grimaced. "I cannot tell you just yet. Let me send word of this. As soon as we reach the mainland, we'll see."

Alex nodded. "I would like to go rest for now," he said. His head still thrummed lightly from using the attack. Embracing his technique was still difficult. novE/lB-In

The queen nodded and took Alex to a room in the ship herself and only left once she was sure he was properly settled.

Once privately in his own room, Alex let his guard down and breathed a deep sigh. Whatever came of this problem, he would deal with it somehow.
