Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2658: Chapter 980:

"Not right!"

"Everyone retreat quickly!"

Unfortunately, these words came too late.

Only to see the man sitting in the void, his face pale, opening his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The surrounding Sword Array could no longer operate and instantly shattered.

The terrifying Sword Qi scattered in all directions.

Where it passed, figures all turned into a mist of blood.

With the sound of splattering, the disheveled man waved his hand, summoning five Sword Pills and that Giant Cauldron to fly towards him, then looked at Zhou Mingxuan and several others with resentment.

"Useless failures!"

With these words, he shot away without hesitation.

Zhou Mingxuan’s face was pale, clearly realizing something.

"Luo Chen, you can’t escape!"

In the Magma Lake, the Cyan Simurgh with its breath weakened to the extreme slowly rose to the sky.

Its eyes coldly glanced at Zhou Mingxuan and the others, then chased after Luo Chen.

After the human and the demon beast had left.

The girl who survived by chance trembled all over, faced with the instant tragic death of hundreds of her companions, the ground littered with countless broken limbs, her eyes full of fear.

"Brother Zhou, we clearly came to help that elder, why did he strike us in return?"

Zhou Mingxuan let out a bitter laugh, but couldn’t explain.

Help?

More like hindering!

The strange man and demon were clearly in the most dangerous deadlock, one trying to suppress and refine, the other resisting with gathered force.

They hurriedly joined the battle, instead distracting the disheveled man, attracting even the surrounding Sword Array, leading to the suppression weakening.

Otherwise, why would the man curse them as useless failures before leaving?

And ultimately, it wasn’t the girl’s recklessness to blame, but his position as the Nascent Soul True Master that failed to detect the signs early.

He couldn’t explain, could only mumble.

"Good intentions mistaken as ill intent!"

The girl was indignant, especially with the tragic death of so many companions making it hard for her to accept.

"This person twists the truth, I must report to the Precepts Institute and Arhat Hall!"

Zhou Mingxuan opened his mouth but didn’t stop her.

He simply kept silently chanting the name shouted by the Cyan Simurgh before leaving.

"Luo Chen?"

...

Under the night.

Two figures, one chasing the other, continued to pursue endlessly in the boundless desert.

A fierce wind stirred, and the man ahead countered with a reverse sword strike, severing the gale.

Occasionally, Fire Phoenixes and Flame Dragons emerged from the void, assaulting the Divine Bird behind.

But compared to the initial attacks, both the man and the Cyan Simurgh were much weaker.

Occasional conversations emerged from each brief clash, gradually fading with the night wind.

"Luo Chen, you can’t escape!"

"Qing Shuang, why pursue relentlessly?"

"When you initially wanted to refine me, why didn’t you speak?"

"At this rate, we’ll only end in mutual destruction!"

"Only you will die!"

"The mixed poison in you must already be out of control! And my Five Elements Suppressing Law Cones, while it can’t completely lock your Qi Power, will sink deeper the more your Qi Power flows, along with the Soul Weaving Needle, if you don’t push it out, your Divine Soul will collapse..."

"So what? My sister fell at Soulbreak Cliff, all thanks to you. Clearly, I could save her, and you betrayed us!"

"Betrayal, what betrayal?"

"On Cangwu Mountain, my sister guided your cultivation to prevent you from going astray, even lent you the Spirit Land Cave Mansion to cultivate. You repay us like this?"

"That was just a deal. Do you think my Harmonization Pill is cheap enough to give away? And about the Soulbreak Cliff, I was left with no choice, life and death controlled by others, what could I do?"

"With no options, just go die!"

Perhaps due to multiple battles, repeatedly brushing with death, or self-blame and concern for Qi Xia Emperor, the usually reticent Qing Shuang surprisingly showed some agitation.

Unable to communicate effectively, she disregarded Qi Xia Emperor’s early warnings and gathered Origin Power.

"Subspace Slash!"

Under the night, a dark crack suddenly appeared.

Luo Chen, who had been on guard, dodged aside.

Yet he was still too slow.

Crack!

The left arm, severed in the middle.

Luo Chen’s expression slightly changed, he grabbed the severed arm, attempting to reattach it, but the mysterious force prevented successful reattachment.

At this moment, he no longer had excess Origin Force to regenerate the severed arm, thus stored it in the storage ring.

Yet behind him, Qing Shuang, having executed this strike, showed signs of staggering, within her stagger, a touch of illusion, as if about to vanish from this space.

Luo Chen glared at her gloomily, holding the Yuan Tu Sword, fleeing once more.

Qing Shuang quickly stabilized the situation and pursued again.

With this chase and escape, they had already delved deep into the endless desert.

As dawn approached, Luo Chen fell like a meteor beneath a high mountain.

Boom!

Upon landing, uncontrollable mana fluctuation leveled the mountain.

Below, shapes seemingly sensed something, collectively looked up.

A stench in the air, cruel gazes, unending.

No one knew this desert concealed such a formidable demon beast army.

High in the sky, the Cyan Simurgh pursued again.

"Luo Chen, how will you escape this time?"

Luo Chen sneered grimly, deciding no longer to flee, threw his hand.

The Yuan Tu Sword turned into blood light, charging straight towards the demon beast army.
