The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1876: Chapter 1973: The Fear of 9-Transformation Demon Beast

Including the severely injured Elephant Demon, a total of six Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts appeared, surrounding Fang Lin in the middle. The oppressive and powerful demon qi bombarded Fang Lin’s body like waves, making him seem like a lone boat in a vast ocean, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

However, Fang Lin allowed the demon qi to wash over him without being affected, as if a gentle breeze was passing by.

Fang Lin no longer paid attention to the half-dead, miserable Elephant Demon. He coldly swept his gaze over the newly arrived five Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts, displaying a half-smiling expression.

Unlike Fang Lin’s seemingly relaxed demeanor, the expressions of the few Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts were quite unappealing; some showed grave looks, while others appeared apprehensive.

First, it was the Golden Fire Black Panther, then the Elephant Demon. Both had fallen at Fang Lin’s hands, and until now, he hadn’t suffered any injuries. This spoke volumes about the extent of Fang Lin’s power. Even though these few Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts appeared together, their apprehension towards Fang Lin didn’t decrease but rather increased.

"Finally willing to come out, saving me the trouble of pulling you out one by one," Fang Lin said with a cold smile, clearly indicating he didn’t regard these Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts as worthy opponents.

Such disdainful words from Fang Lin were unbearable for these Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts. After all, they were formidable demonic powers in their own right, not some stray cats or dogs that could be found anywhere. And yet, a mere human Immortal Warrior dared to belittle them like this?

"You are arrogant, but I’ve seen many arrogant humans before, and most of them died miserably," said a Nine-Transforming Demon Beast with antlers, its tone gloomy.

Fang Lin glanced at it. It was indeed a Deer Demon, with a faint golden hue, and the antlers emitted a five-colored splendor, making it quite striking.

"Your antlers are nice; I’ve taken a liking to them," Fang Lin said with a grin, his eyes brazenly fixed on the Five-colored Deer Antlers atop the Nine-Transforming Deer Demon.

The Deer Demon immediately showed anger. It could hardly believe that this human was so brazen as to outright say that he fancied its antlers, which were as vital as life itself. What did this mean? Did he actually intend to rip its antlers off and steal them?

"Human, you are strong, but if we join forces, you probably won’t even have a chance to escape," another Bear Demon said, revealing a fierce look, and the power of qi and blood surging from it appeared even more formidable than that of the Elephant Demon.

Fang Lin glanced sidelong at the Bear Demon and said with a smirk, "Bear paws aren’t bad either."

The Bear Demon was taken aback, almost charging at Fang Lin immediately. The other Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts realized that this human warrior was simply insane. Facing them all, he showed no fear and instead spouted continuous provocations.

Seeing these Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts seemingly enraged by him, Fang Lin couldn’t help but tug at his lips, emitting a slightly mocking laugh. "What? Each of you glaring like you want to eat someone?"

He paused, showing a ’sudden realization’ expression: "Oh, I forgot, you Demon Beasts naturally eat humans."

"Enough!" the Deer Demon spoke, its sharp gaze fixed on Fang Lin.

Fang Lin smiled and said, "You want to steal my pills, but have you ever considered your own strength? Not to mention you can’t, even if you did steal them, what then? Aren’t you afraid that the Pill Saint Palace will hunt you down with no place to escape to?"

At the mention of the Pill Saint Palace, the faces of these Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts indeed changed drastically. Previously, they had internally speculated that since this human could refine a Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pill, there was a nine out of ten chance he was from the Pill Saint Palace.

However, they had all chosen to ignore this fact, as the allure of the Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pill was too great. They couldn’t just give up out of fear of the Pill Saint Palace, could they?

But now, hearing Fang Lin confirm his affiliation with the Pill Saint Palace, the Deer Demon, Bear Demon, and their companions could not help but feel pressured. Who wouldn’t fear the formidable reputation of the Pill Saint Palace? Although they were Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts, offending the Pill Saint Palace and provoking it to send powerful beings against them would be troublesome.

Even if the Pill Saint Palace didn’t intervene directly, merely informing the world’s warriors would likely bring countless powerful individuals to the Ten Thousand Mountains to trouble them.

Joking aside, the Pill Saint Palace was such a powerful force. Those who provoked it never ended up with good outcomes.

Especially since they were just Demon Beasts. If the Pill Saint Palace found out they had stolen pills refined by a Pill Refiner from the Pill Saint Palace, there wouldn’t be a peaceful moment even in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Even a Demon Saint would have to show some fear towards the Pill Saint Palace and dare not offend it lightly, let alone these Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts with no significant backing.

Just the merest mention of the Pill Saint Palace was enough to instill caution in the Deer Demon and its fellows, their previously fierce demeanor disappearing.

This was exactly what Fang Lin wanted. Seizing the moment when these beasts were somewhat shaken, he suddenly struck, delivering a powerful punch towards the suspected strongest Deer Demon.

The Deer Demon was shocked, not expecting Fang Lin to strike so unexpectedly. But as a Nine-Transforming Demon Beast and a dominant figure in the Ten Thousand Mountains, its reaction was naturally fast.

The human-formed Deer Demon struck out with a palm, unending demonic qi surging from it as it clashed with Fang Lin’s fierce punch.

Fang Lin’s momentum increased while the Deer Demon staggered slightly and was involuntarily pushed back a step, its complexion worsening.

The other Demon Beasts, witnessing this, did not hesitate further and all attacked Fang Lin together.

Fang Lin immediately fused the True Dragon avatar with himself, maximizing his physical strength, his power infinitely close to that of a true Heavenly Mandate powerhouse.

With a punch, the fist imprint split into five, sending all five attacking Nine-Transforming Demon Beasts flying away.

The Deer Demon and its companions were all shocked, not having expected that Fang Lin had withheld power when dealing with the Bear Demon and only now revealed his unimaginable strength.

The severely injured Elephant Demon, hiding aside without attacking, was now utterly dumbfounded, seeing Fang Lin standing firm against five without being at a disadvantage.

"Kill!!!" The Bear Demon roared, unleashing its overwhelming qi and blood. The other four Demon Beasts also went all out, attacking Fang Lin relentlessly.

At this point, they didn’t care about the Pill Saint Palace anymore. They planned to grab the pills and flee deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains. With it being so vast, they doubted the Pill Saint Palace would search every corner.
