Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2092

Chapter 2092 A Losing Battle

Alex didn't know why the sect master was alive, nor did he care. The man had done enough to warrant death and Alex was ready to deliver that judgment. Of course, he knew he alone would not be able to win this battle, so he needed help to fight this man. Teng Zhengmian scoffed. "We'll see what you can do."

Formations sprang up all around them at once, with even the space being contorted and impossible to escape out of. He threw his long interlocking metal chain in Alex's direction at the same time, the whole thing glowing with golden energy as it zoomed in his direction.

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. V/IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

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.'

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.'

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.'
