Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2561 - 942: One Strike Shatters Ten Thousand Techniques, The Fox Mourns the Rabbit’s Death (Part 2)
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
A loose cultivator lacking a firm base, even upon reaching the Nascent Soul True Master stage in the same realm, ends up being completely worthless!
Noticing Master Ming Lei's continued silence while he silently amassed Qi energy, as though lost in thought, the man grinned and remarked, "Still refusing to yield? Are you hoping for your deputy master from Wind and Thunder Gorge to arrive?"
A spark of intense resolve appeared in Master Ming Lei's gaze. "What did you do to him?"
The Lantern Master burst into loud laughter. "Nothing at all to him. His aura is just too overwhelming, after all—I bet he handled every threat in Wind and Thunder Gorge single-handedly. For someone so mighty, how could I ever touch him?"
The voice changed abruptly!
"Yet I provided him with the prime cultivation cave offered by the Shadow Light Sect, secretly pulling vast quantities of spirit qi from the spirit vein. He's probably deep in seclusion now, unable to pull away."
"Should he avoid falling into heart demons, my junior brother has commanded three hundred disciples to set up a grand formation, standing guard with utmost vigilance."
"He's barely able to save his own skin!"
After hearing these words, Master Ming Lei's complexion turned noticeably ashen.
It made sense now why he'd sensed such dense spirit qi in Qitian's residence earlier; the Lantern Master had arranged it on purpose.
Even if he couldn't figure out Qitian's reason for diving so deeply into cultivation, the Lantern Master's subordinate, You Yin True Master, was a veteran expert of great fame.
The enemies had prepared a trap beforehand, putting Qitian in a far more dangerous spot than his own.
In that instant!
"Roar!"
Beneath the dark sky, a deep growl resounded, resembling a feral creature stirring to life, unleashing a thunderous clamor.
Mighty shockwaves surged outward in every direction.
Both the Lantern Master and Master Ming Lei turned their eyes toward the source at once.
There, an enormous stone rod ascended skyward like a divine pillar, slamming down with explosive force.
Boom!
Silhouettes leaped high into the sky.
Yet from this one strike, every one of them burst into clouds of blood.
In their midst, a shadowy form darted at astonishing velocity, dividing into countless illusions that scattered every which way.
Crying out, "Brother, save me!"
Still, the stone rod pressed on relentlessly, driving forward in a single path.
Pfft!
It resembled a soap bubble popping.
You Yin True Master, renowned in his circles, got skewered and detonated, his fleshly form and hard-earned Nascent Soul utterly destroyed.
The immense Qi force, right then, erupted into a tempest of spirit qi, ravaging the peaks and halls of the Shadow Light Sect.
The Lantern Master gaped at the sight in stunned disbelief, as if grasping none of it.
Master Ming Lei gulped heavily; Qitian's power had surpassed his wildest imaginings yet again.
Furthermore, was that rod his magical artifact?
Through the raging gale, a silhouette appeared, clutching the Heavenly Stick and shrugging off the spirit qi's brunt.
It was Luo Chen!
He shot a icy look at the Lantern Master.
"You've acted rather rudely!"
"Damn it!"
The Lantern Master roared furiously, ignoring Master Ming Lei entirely, lifting his arm as the huge red lantern materialized once more, enveloping Luo Chen.
Beyond that, he hurled the green lantern he held.
On top of which, a lantern glowing softly in purple hues lifted from his back, drawing all eyes like a swirling maelstrom.
Immediately, the surrounding space felt sluggish, and channeling Qi power grew incredibly laborious.
Master Ming Lei nearby even experienced vertigo, his soul stirring unsteadily.
Yet Luo Chen showed no reaction whatsoever.
He merely seized the Heavenly Stick, ascended through the air, and brought it crashing down.
The red lantern cracked apart, the green one went dark, and the purple one lost its shine.
Regardless of endless ingenious techniques or boundless supernatural abilities, against this sheer overwhelming might, they amounted to mere fragile lanterns.
"How can this be!"
Terror gripped the Lantern Master completely, his mind reeling from the impossibility.
In a flash, every bit of his bravery evaporated, leaving zero will to fight Luo Chen.
He fled without a second thought.
Luo Chen smirked, jamming the Heavenly Stick into the earth, and drew out two deadly golden plumes from the Ping Mountain Crown atop his head.
Abruptly, the plumes launched at the Lantern Master.
Swish!
Swish!
The golden plumes cut keenly, slicing through the air without a whisper.
The sole noises arose from striking firm objects.
One hit the Lantern Master's body, nailing it harshly against a cliff face.
The other struck that faded purple lantern.
The latter shimmered briefly before disappearing into the darkness, bearing a Nascent Soul infant along.
From Luo Chen's arrival, to launching his attack, to the fight's end.
The entire sequence unfolded in mere moments.
Even now, Master Ming Lei appeared dazed, struggling to process it all.
Luo Chen extended his hand in a beckoning gesture, drawing the two deadly golden plumes back, towing the Lantern Master's remains with them.
The plumes shed the gore and slotted back into the Ping Mountain Crown over his head.
The plumes quivered while Luo Chen peered down at the body below.
"The Lantern Master's Nascent Soul got away."
If the earlier surprise strike couldn't slay You Yin True Master anew, then even a top-tier cultivator would struggle to fully eliminate a Nascent Soul True Master out in the open.
The Nascent Soul's teleportation skill renders pursuit nearly impossible without Luo Chen committing his full power.
Naturally, this stemmed from his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Mix Yuan Cauldron, being sealed away—otherwise, that space-locking cauldron would have prevented the Lantern Master's getaway.
Master Ming Lei approached with a parched throat, nodding in accord. "It's a bit of a shame; letting the tiger slip away might breed endless woes later."
"Tiger?"
Luo Chen scoffed disdainfully; to Ming Lei, the Lantern Master posed as a savage beast.
But to him, he wasn't a match in the slightest!
Besides!
"Let him flee; nowhere in this realm can he truly conceal himself."
Luo Chen stared at the battle-illuminated night heavens, whispering to himself.
Master Ming Lei found his statement baffling.
