Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2057

Chapter 2057 Ren Muwen

The sudden arrival of another group behind the ones that fought was a devastating blow for Alex's group. As soon as they appeared, the battle that was only starting suddenly became far more chaotic and attacks began flying in every direction.

Alex turned toward the few people that remained, of which a young girl whispered something into the ear of the woman in a light green robe who stared at Alex.

She had already noticed him as he was the only one who had survived their sudden attacks, but the words she heard next did much more to grab her attention.

"They put you up to fight me?" the woman asked, stepping forward. "Nobody interferes. I'll take care of him myself," she said. Alex looked at her and took a step back, creating some distance. His eyes moved to the young girl who had spoken to the woman. His eyes flashed purple and he saw the lingering aura near the woman.

The air was filled with multiple colors, with some specks of silver in there now, but when he focused on the young girl, the color of the aura he saw around her was the same as the one he had seen on the young man who had been their scout.

'So he was never our scout?' Alex wondered, not understanding the situation as clearly as he hoped.

He pulled the shield in front of him at the very next moment as an attack came flying toward him. The shield stopped the attack right in time.

"Care to come out of the shield and fight me?" the woman said.

"Maybe I should fight him," the other girl from behind the woman said, wearing the blue robes of the Blue Silk sect. "He's from my sect, so I should take care of it."

"No, I will do it," the woman replied. "Apparently, he told their group that he could handle me."

"If that's the case, then he plans to keep you busy with that shield of his," the woman said. "Attack long enough and the shield won't work anymore."

"Thank you for the advice," the woman said with an ambiguous smile. "You can go join the fight now."

The remaining people flew, the man in pink robes not even sparing a single glance at Alex.

That was simply preposterous. She believed, the same as everyone who had fought Alex, that he was hiding his cultivation base.

Even then, she couldn't help but be amazed. He was rivaling her strength, so in the best-case scenario, his cultivation base was the same as her, and thus just as talented.

In the worst-case scenario, he was far more talented than her and that worried her.

Alex found it hard to focus on the woman with such a huge amount of teleportation aura that began erupting from the clash between the many people. A lot of the cultivators were being sent away from the secret realm, and at any moment, one side would emerge victorious.

What was Alex supposed to do here? Was his job still to keep the woman at bay, to distract her?

Or...

"Brother Dawnblade," a voice called, and Alex looked toward it. It was Primrose.

"We need to run away," she said.

Alex thought of running away and found that the oath didn't stop him from doing so. He had given all he could at the moment for the group, and it didn't work.

He noticed a few of the other people running away as well and knew the battle was lost. Many of them were leaving.

He had to leave as well.

"You're not going anywhere," the woman said, Dao of Wood and Wind surrounding her as a beautiful flower sprouted behind her, mostly illusory.

Alex feared that it was similar to what the sect master had used against him back in the Poison Fighting sect, but quickly realized that this flower was real. As real as it could be when made of Qi.

The flower was one that Alex recognized as a type of marigold flower, except the petals were numbered in the thousands. They fell off the flower, all at once, and like a swarm of bees, came for Alex.
