Chapter 887: Targeted And Pursued
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Yang channeled all of his strength into his weapon. His aura erupted and surged into the sky as his sword collided with the red illusory sword.
Kacha!
His weapon turned into dust. At the same time, his body flew out and smashed into Old Fang’s body. Unfortunately, neither of them could hold a candle to Alchemy Master Xingtian.
To ordinary people, they were indeed very strong, but they were up against one of the two strongest experts in Danxu Town, so they stood no chance.
In Danxu Town, there was only one person who could stop Alchemy Master Xingtian, and that was Alchemy Master Ling Yi!
However, Alchemy Master Ling Yi had yet to return.
“Damn it!”
Alchemy Master Xingtian was very satisfied with this result and sneered, You overconfident ants. All these years, you’ve been focused on guarding the Core Tower, but have long forgotten your original zeal for cultivation. You can’t even put up a fight. Today, I’ve taught you an unforgettable lesson.”
“However, I won’t kill you. After all, I still have to give some consideration to
Alchemy Master Ling Yi.”
“Now, it’s time to bring that kid out and mete out his punishment.
After he finished talking, Alchemy Master Xingtian disappeared into the darkness.
Even the seal could not stop him.
At this moment, Ye Chen was unaware of the situation outside. He had already arrived at the fourth level.
What surprised him was that this time, the fourth level was actually a lake, from which water vapor rose continuously.
“Hot spring? Could it be that this is also a domain? Otherwise, how could the
Core Tower contain this lake?”
This was Ye Chen’s first thought.
Just as he was about to step into it, he felt a violent vibration shake the Core
Tower…
“Is there an earthquake in the Core Tower?”
Ye Chen scanned his surroundings and found that the surface of the lake was boiling like boiling water. Some of the liquid even splashed on his body. It was very hot and scalding.
Something was wrong.
Suddenly, Little Gold in the Samsara Graveyard noticed something. It immediately opened its eyes, and its strange red pupil rotated continuously.
He let out a gloomy roar.
Then, he turned into a blur and left the Samsara Graveyard, arriving beside Ye Chen.
“Little Gold, why aren’t you resting inside?” Ye Chen was surprised to see it. Little Gold looked around and said coldly, “Come, follow me down. Remember to envelop your entire body with the Immortal Flames.
Although Ye Chen did not know Little Gold’s motive for doing all this, he still did as he was told.
Plop!
With a loud sound, he and Little Gold entered the strange lake while surrounded by the Immortal Flames.
Just as the two of them entered, Alchemy Master Xingtian and the ferocious leopard quietly arrived.
Apothecary Xing Tian looked at the ripples on the water surface and smiled. “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Do you really think that entering this lake can save you?”
“However, how did that kid discover us?
“Let’s go. Once I obtain this kid’s secret, I’ll give you his body! What you need to do now is to bring that kid here. Remember, don’t bite him to death.” Alchemy Master Xingtian stroked the ferocious leopard under him as he said this.
The beast was obviously extremely excited. It let out a roar and dived into the lake.
After that, Alchemy Master Xingtian stood on the shore of the lake with his eyes closed, waiting for his mount to return triumphantly.
He had risked his life a thousand years ago to obtain this ferocious leopard from a mystic realm, and it had an ancient bloodline flowing through its body. Although it was not pure, he had been nurturing it since then, so it had grown even stronger.
It could even kill most origin king realm experts, or sometimes even stronger experts. Furthermore, in order to nurture this ferocious leopard’s natural killer instinct, Alchemy Master Xingtian even fed it a living cultivator every day.
Therefore, this beast was extremely bloodthirsty!
Other than Alchemy Master Xingtian, it would attack everything and everyone.
It was bom for blood and battle!
The bottom of the lake was not too deep, but there were traces of ancient runes there.
Ye Chen stopped and looked at Little Gold curiously. He asked, “Little Gold, tell me why we’re running away.”
Little Gold did not say anything. It simply stared behind them closely. When it saw a black shadow rushing toward it, it jumped out of Ye Chen’s arms and landed at the bottom of the lake.
“I’m not running. I’m facing this beast. However, I might have a better chance of winning underwater.”
“Be careful though. We’ve been targeted. And not by an ordinary person.” As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen felt a ripple at the bottom of the lake! Then, a huge leopard with hair standing on end like steel needles appeared in front of Ye Chen.
Its entire body was overflowing with golden light, and its eyes were blood – red and bloodthirsty.
It bared its fangs and let out a deep roar.
Its eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, and it looked ready to pounce on him at any moment!
When Ye Chen saw this, he quickly summoned the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword! “Looks like this is the threat you’re talking about. But isn’t the Core Tower a place to test one’s Dao of Alchemy? Why is there such a ferocious beast here?” Before Ye Chen could react, the ferocious panther’s body flashed, leaving afterimages as it hurtled toward him like a flaming red meteorite!
Ye Chen belatedly realized that something was wrong and quickly unleashed his own attack, infused with the power of divine lightning.
Ding!
A crisp sound spread out as the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword made contact with the ferocious leopard’s body.
Had it been an ordinary ferocious beast, it might have died, or been severely injured from the blow. However, the beast was completely unscathed!
It was as if his sword had struck the hardened steel!
The ferocious leopard roared angrily. Its ferocious fangs were like swords that threatened to turn him into mincemeat!
Just as the ferocious leopard was about to land a bite, Little Gold appeared between it and Ye Chen.
Roar!
Its small body emitted an ancient beast roar, and its strange pupil shone with a dazzling light!
Seeing this, the ferocious leopard did not continue to attack Ye Chen. Instead, it focused its attention on Little Gold.
Doubt, confusion, fear.
It could feel a sense of danger from this small creature. However, the sense of danger did not solely originate from its strength, but also its bloodline. Suddenly, a voice sounded in its mind. Clearly, it was an order from Alchemy Master Xingtian!
It woke up and burst forth with killing intent as it pounced on Little Gold! However, Little Gold had no intention of dodging at all. Instead, its red and blue pupils continuously rotated.
Suddenly, the blue pupil erupted with bolts of divine lightning, which engulfed the ferocious leopard. However, this only caused the ferocious leopard to pause for a moment!
However, during that pause, Little Gold made its next move!
