The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1877: Chapter 1974: Slaying the Deer Demon

After an exceptionally fierce battle, the five Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts besieging Fang Lin were all injured and looked rather disheveled, while Fang Lin remained unscathed, albeit with slightly labored breathing.

This clearly demonstrated the gap between Fang Lin and these Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts. In a one-on-one confrontation, even the strongest among them, the Deer Demon, would not last long under Fang Lin’s hands. Despite the five Demon Beasts joining forces, they could only barely hold their own against Fang Lin.

In truth, even though it seemed like a draw, Fang Lin had a slight upper hand. His physique at this moment was unimaginably strong, comparable to that of a Heavenly Mandate stage two expert, making it unthinkable for any of the Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts to engage him in close combat.

Even the Bear Demon, known for its formidable physical strength, could not withstand Fang Lin’s punches, let alone the other Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts.

However, Fang Lin also recognized that these Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts were not weak; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to establish a foothold in the vast region of one hundred thousand mountains and become formidable leaders. Although he was stronger than the beasts, it would still require considerable effort to deal with them completely.

Moreover, if these Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts decided to flee instead of fight, it would be difficult for Fang Lin to stop them all.

To save time, Fang Lin patted the Nine Palace Bag at his waist and took out a black ancient sword.

The Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts were shocked, thinking that Fang Lin was about to use some powerful treasure, and each of them became vigilant.

Fang Lin swung the black ancient sword in his hand, and colossal Bone Demons, as large as mountains, appeared in front of him. Their terrifying aura spread instantly, causing the Demon Beasts to be utterly astounded.

"It’s actually Bone Demons!" The Deer Demon was startled, totally unexpected that this Human Warrior could even command Bone Demons. What exactly was his origin?

Five Bone Demons, each equivalent to an Immortal stage peak expert, roughly equal to a peak Nine-Transformation Demon Beast. The advantage of Bone Demons over Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts was their limitless strength and extremely hard bodies. As long as they weren’t pulverized, they could continuously regenerate, relentless and unyielding.

The existence of Bone Demons was particularly troublesome for any martial artist or demon beast, as no one wanted to face them due to their problematic nature.

Now, with five Bone Demons appearing before the Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts, how could they possibly fight them? Fang Lin alone was troublesome enough for them, let alone these five Bone Demons joining the fray.

The five Bone Demons started moving, and with a thunderous roar, approached the Deer Demon and its companions, while Fang Lin wasn’t idle either, directly going for the strongest, the Deer Demon.𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Deer Demon’s eyes flickered as Fang Lin had already reached it, violently landing punch after punch, forcing the Deer Demon to retreat repeatedly, unsure of how many punches it had already endured from Fang Lin.

At this moment, the Bone Demons also charged forward, raising their white skeletal hands to strike the Bone Demon hard. If this strike landed, the Deer Demon would undoubtedly suffer a severe injury. After all, the power of the Bone Demon was terrifying. Even Fang Lin suffered greatly on the Ancient Wilderness battlefield, much less this Deer Demon, whose physical prowess was not particularly outstanding.

The Deer Demon gritted its teeth, and its figure suddenly disappeared, only to reappear a hundred miles away. Evidently, it used some kind of Secret Skill to forcibly evade the joint attacks of the Bone Demons and Fang Lin.

However, while the Deer Demon evaded disaster, the situation for the other four Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts was rather dire, as they were all entangled by the Bone Demons. Except for the physically robust Bear Demon, which barely resisted, the other three Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts found themselves at a disadvantage, losing ground against the Bone Demons and unable to hold them off.

The Elephant Demon, already severely injured by Fang Lin earlier, had long fled to an unknown place. As soon as it saw the Bone Demons appear, it immediately bolted away without hesitation.

Though the Elephant Demon was often slow-witted, it understood that there was no point in sticking around under these circumstances. The appearance of the five Bone Demons had made the situation overwhelmingly irreversible. The Deer Demon was already struggling; if the Elephant Demon stayed, it might well meet its end with them.

Fang Lin pursued the Deer Demon relentlessly. The latter unleashed every skill it had, throwing out various tactics, even surprising Fang Lin with its strength.

Nonetheless, with the help of the Bone Demons, the outcome was already determined. In the end, Fang Lin punched through the Deer Demon’s chest, and with a swift sweep of his ancient spear, he decapitated the Deer Demon.

With the Deer Demon’s death, the other four Nine-Transformation Demon Beasts were so terrified they turned pale, fleeing desperately with no further thoughts of seizing the Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pill, only wishing to save their lives.

Seeing the Bear Demon and its companions run away, Fang Lin pretended to give chase for a while before stopping, knowing that even though he killed the Deer Demon, it would be unrealistic to forcefully keep those few intent on escaping.

But Fang Lin had already achieved his goal. With the Deer Demon dead, he guessed that the remaining Demon Beasts wouldn’t return to court death.

The Deer Demon’s head was severed by Fang Lin, yet it was incredibly resilient and had not truly died.

After all, being a Nine-Transformation Demon Beast, it possessed tremendous vitality and was far from easy to kill.

However, it had no room left to struggle or resist, with only a head remaining, it could do nothing but submit to Fang Lin’s mercy.

"I will offer you all my treasures, spare my life," the Deer Demon pleaded in terror, genuinely afraid that Fang Lin would kill it.

Fang Lin, holding the Deer Demon’s head, waved his black ancient sword and collected all the Bone Demons back, then moved swiftly, vanishing into the distance.

Two hours later, Fang Lin returned to the village with the hidden ancient cave, avoiding the villagers’ notice, and directly entered the ancient cave.

As for the Deer Demon, Fang Lin had already dealt with it on the way back, cutting off its Five-colored Deer Antlers.

These Five-colored Deer Antlers were rare treasures, comparable to heavenly materials and earthly treasures, with excellent effects if used for Pill Refining.

However, that was for the future to decide. The urgent task at hand was to quickly consume the Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pill and try to break through to the Heavenly Mandate realm. As for whether he could ascend within the limited time, Fang Lin wasn’t sure and felt it was up to his luck.

Among the Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pills, there were only five, four of which were of superior quality, and one, unexpectedly, was of perfect quality. This was indeed a delightful surprise.

Fang Lin knew that his ability to soar and step into the Heavenly Mandate realm likely depended on how much impact this one perfect quality Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pill could make.

Not only that, but Fang Lin also made a very difficult decision to prepare for absorbing the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron.
