Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  Ling Han had once possessed the grand reputation of being trash of the worst quality!

  Many of the disciples of Gray Cloud Academy recalled the words that Liu Yu Tong had once spoken–after three months, Ling Han would become an existence that everyone could only look up to.

  Indeed, he was now even able to step on Cheng Wen Kun. Whom amongst them would not look up to him?

  But the problem now was, the strongest warrior in Gray Cloud Town was Cheng Ji Yu, an elite martial artist of Gushing Spring Tier!

  No matter how powerful Ling Han was, how could he be more powerful than Gushing Spring Tier?

  “He’s done for. Once Cheng Ji Yu arrives, Ling Han would definitely be finished.”

  “Ai, it’s really too bad for a genius of his caliber. Otherwise, he may even be able to become a powerful warrior of Spiritual Ocean Tier in the future!”

  “Spiritual Ocean Tier, ah, you really dare to say that, that would mean being as strong as the Da Yuan King!”

  “Think about it, Ling Han is only seventeen years old now, but he is already able to step on Cheng Wen Kun like this. How scary is his talent?”

  “That’s true.”

  The spectators all murmured to each other. All of them were not optimistic about Ling Han, thinking that he had come back to surrender to his death.

  The formidable prowess of Gushing Spring Tier was embedded deep in the bones of all of them, especially in a small town like Gray Cloud Town. For them, a warrior of Gushing Spring Tier could practically be considered a god.

  “Heng!” It was at this moment that a figure flew out from the town. The figure was moving extremely fast, even the speed of a galloping horse could not match its speed. Within a mere instant, the figure had already appeared at a near distance.

  It was Cheng Ji Yu.

  “Little bastard, so you are Ling Han? That evil fiend that has killed my grandson?” Cheng Ji Yu’s eyes were fixed upon Ling Han, his stare as intense as if he wanted to devour Ling Han.

  “I am Ling Han, and today will be the day of your death!” Ling Han replied in kind.

  “Hahahaha, I am a powerful warrior of Gushing Spring Tier. What ability do you have to take my life?” Cheng Ji Yu did not feel in a rush to act. This was the chief culprit who had killed his grandson. He wanted to slowly torture this little bastard to death.

  “And if we fight too?” Zhu He Xing and Zhang Wei Shan both stepped forwards.

  “And who the heck are you- yi!” Cheng Ji Yu was initially indifferent, but when his eyes fell upon the two people who had spoken, his expression suddenly changed and he gasped in shock, “Gushing Spring Tier!”

  Not just Gushing Spring Tier, but there were two of such powerful warriors in front of his eyes!

  What!

  The townspeople all gasped in shock. These two ordinary-looking old men were actually also powerful warriors of Gushing Spring Tier? Hiss, no wonder Ling Han dared to return. So he had actually obtained the assistance of two such elites of Gushing Spring Tier.

  Cheng Ji Yu’s face turned serious. He no longer had any intention of underestimating these two men, and said, “My two brothers, this brat has killed my grandson. No matter what benefits he has promised you, I will offer you double the amount, so please do not interfere.”

  Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan exchanged a look, before bursting into laughter simultaneously.

  Offer them double the amount?

  Who the f*** do you think you are? How many pill formulae do you have in your possession, and how much understanding do you have in the field of alchemy that you actually dare to make such an overly exaggerated promise?

  “How dare you! Young Friend Ling’s problem is also our problem!” Zhang Wei Shan said, “Cheng, if you surrender, I can promise to beg for a bit of mercy from Young Friend Ling on your behalf, and grant you a swift death!”

  Young Friend Ling?

  “Si!”

  Everyone either sucked air in abruptly between their barred teeth or gasped. These two powerful warriors of Gushing Spring Tier actually addressed Ling Han ‘Young Friend’, and completely appeared as if they were willing to share all of Ling Han’s burdens with him. What kind of relationship was this?

  Fortunately, neither Zhu He Xin or Zhang Wei Shan had worn the badges that proved their alchemist identity, or these townspeople would be even more astonished, for Black Grade low level alchemists possessed an even higher status than powerful warriors of Gushing Spring Tier.

  “Must the two of you do this?” Cheng Ji Yu said in a deep voice. He had just broken through to Gushing Spring Tier, so his confidence level was off the charts. Moreover, he definitely did not believe that these two powerful warriors of Gushing Spring Tier would go all out for Ling Han. He could not think of anything that would cause them to do such a thing.

  “Peng, peng, peng, peng.” From a distance away, dirt and soil was flying in all directions as a group of riders was quickly making its way over.

  “Brother Ling, I’ve brought my people to give you a hand!” A young man jumped off his horse and said to Ling Han, raising his clasped hands in the latter’s direction. His group of riders had very quickly arrived nearby.

  It was Baili Teng Yun.

  Baili Teng Yun himself did not attract much attention, but the group of sturdy men behind him caused all the spectators to be dumbstruck.

  Because, embroidered on the breast of every one of them was the word: Baili.

  Within the jurisdiction of Da Yuan City, there was only one party that dared to use the name Baili as their symbol, and that was the Baili Sect!

  Aside from the Royal House of Da Yuan, one of the four greatest parties in the area!

  “Pu!”

  Quite a number of people had choked in shock. Though they did not recognize Baili Teng Yun, but since this young man had the ability to take command of such a large group of disciples from Baili Sect, his status would definitely not be too low. Moreover, he actually addressed Ling Han as brother and with such familiarity, so what did this signify?

  That Ling Han had a very good relationship with the Baili Sect!

  Cheng Ji Yu’s expression changed once more. No matter how confident he was, he would never presume that he had the ability to oppose the Baili Sect. The latter actually had an elite warrior of the ninth layer of Gushing Spring Tier as support; not even if there was a hundred of him would he be able to oppose an opponent of such overwhelming might.

  His only remaining hope now was that this supposedly very powerful brat did not actually possess a very high status in Baili Sect.

  Hardly has one wave subsided when another rises. From afar, another bout of dust and dirt flew, and a second group of riders was very quickly making its way over.

  “Haha, so it appears that Brother Baili has arrived first!” A young man jumped off his horse. It was Jin Wuji. He raised his clasped hands in Ling Han’s direction, and said, “Brother Ling, I’ve also brought some people from my humble clan to give you a hand. To actually dare to harm Uncle Ling, I would like to see who has such audacity!”

  He had already dispersed the bad feelings between himself and Ling Han, so now the relationship between the two of them was quite friendly.

  Cheng Ji Yu could not help giving a humph, and said, “And who are you, to dare talk so big!”

  “How dare you!” One of the guards of the Jin Clan stepped out, “Have your dog’s eyes gone blind, this is our clan’s Third Young Master, Jin Wuji!”

  “Pu!”

  The townspeople had barely just regained their composure, and now suddenly there was another wave of shock and astonishment! Who was Jin Wuji? The Third Young Master of the Jin Clan, and also the most talented person amongst the younger generation of the Jin Clan! He may very possibly inherit the position of Clan Head of the Jin Clan in the future!

  If that was true, then… would the “Brother Baili” Jin Wuji spoke of just now actually b
e Baili Teng Yun? After all, the Sect Master of the Baili Sect only had a single son, and he should be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

  Hiss, two of the most powerful parties of Da Yuan City had arrived, and neither of them was represented by a minor character. One of them was the Young Sect Master, while the other was the future Clan Head–and they both treated Ling Han like a brother!

  Were they fakes?

  How could that be possible? Who dared to pass themselves off as these two in Da Yuan City? Were they tired of living?

  Cheng Ji Yu finally revealed a most uneasy expression. Ling Han now had the protection of two ultra powerful parties, so even if he managed to somehow get through these two great parties to take Ling Han’s life, he himself would also definitely be hunted down and killed by these two great parties.

  All of a sudden, he was trapped in a dilemma. Should he get his revenge, or give it up?

  He had not yet come to the realization that the matter today would not be solved with a simple ‘I give up’ from him. From the moment he had made a move towards the Ling Clan, his fate was already decided, and that was death!

  “Teng, teng, teng…” from afar, another pack of riders were very rapidly nearing.

  The townspeople were already numb with shock, thinking that could this be another member of one of the great powerful parties again?

  “Hahahaha, Brother Jin, Brother Baili, you two have really arrived very quickly!” Amidst a bout of laughter, Li Dong Yue leaped off his horse, strode over and said, “Brother Ling, if you have need of our Stone Wolf Sect, you only have to say the word!”

  “Hong,” when they heard these words, all of them were struck with absolute astonishment.

  Though the Jin Clan and the Baili Sect were indeed powerful on their own, still, they were based very far from here–the Stone Wolf Sect was their real overlord! When a mere Ma Lang had come here, he was already enough to cause everyone of them to feel fear and dread. And this person was actually able to treat Jin Wuji and Baili Teng Yun as brothers, so his status must definitely be above Ma Lang.

  Cheng Wen Kun was really about to start crying–what was going on here, why did so many of the ultra powerful parties appear one after another, and why were they all on Ling Han’s side? Jin Clan, Baili Sect, Stone Wolf Sect… any one of these parties would be able to obliterate Cheng Clan ten times over with a mere twitch of their fingers!

  “Thank you, everyone. Wait for me to kill my enemy, and we will have a good drink together!” Ling Han said, raising his clasped hands. “You can help me eliminate the Cheng Clan, just leave these two chief culprits to me!”

  “You can depend on us!” Jin Wuji and the other two agreed straightaway. Putting aside the fact that all three of their parties collaborated together, even if there was only one of them here, their might would be more than enough to easily wipe out the Cheng Clan.

  “No! No! No!” Cheng Wen Kun said, trembling, “You can’t do this, you can’t do this!”

  “When you wiped out my Ling Clan, why had you been so merciless then?” Ling Han said in a deep voice, “I have always been a very fair person. If others respect me, I will do the same. But if anyone dares to harm a single hair on the heads of my family, I will definitely return the favor a hundredfold!”

  Jin Wuji and the other two leaders, with a wave of their hand, led their groups in an advance. Without an elite warrior like Cheng Ji Yu overseeing things, what could the Cheng Clan count as?

  “Stop right there!” Cheng Ji Yu shouted loudly. He would of course not simply stand by and watch as his clan is being wiped out. But he had just raised his foot when he saw Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan had simultaneously leaped out and surrounded him, one of them in front of him, while the other behind him.

  “Teng, teng, teng.” And it was at this moment, that more and more people rushed over. Among them, there were minor clans of Da Yuan City as well as parties from other towns. Some even had elite martial artists of Gushing Spring Tier in their midst. They arrived one after the other, and practically drowned Gray Cloud Town with their numbers.

  This was too scary. Now, aside from the Royal House of the Da Yuan King, all the parties with some reputation had practically all arrived.

  And these people, they had all come because of Ling Han.

  Since when had this Young Master Trash become so awesome?

  Cheng Wen Kun’s face had turned ashen–looks like Cheng Clan would not be able to escape this calamity that would befall them today! He was filled with regret. Why had he not simply killed off Ling Dong Xing? At least then, he would have pulled this sworn enemy of his to death with him, so he would not have a very lonely journey to the afterlife.

  “Pa!”

  Ling Han’s foot lowered, and stepped heavily upon Cheng Wen Kun’s face, “Old dog, you still dare to have evil intentions even now!”

  “Hahahaha, so what if I die? Your Ling Clan clansmen have also died with me!” Cheng Wen Kun knew that he would not be able to survive, so he decided to simply throw caution to the wind, and glared furiously at Ling Han.

  “Pa!”

  Ling Han gave another stamp of his foot and shattered all the teeth in Cheng Wen Kun’s mouth. The agony caused him to move around vigorously, yet because Ling Han was still stepping on him, he only managed to continuously flop around on the ground.

  “Brother Ling!” A tall, young man stepped out from the ranks of the others. This young man’s aura swept out in terrifying ripples. It was Qi Yong Ye.

  “Greetings, Fourth Prince!” The others all bowed in greeting.

  Fourth, Fourth Prince?

  The townspeople of Gray Cloud Town were all stunned for a very long moment. Finally, they came back to reality, and quickly followed the others to bow down in respect. Their thoughts were all filled with astonishment.

  Now, all the different parties of Da Yuan City had arrived, and they had only one reason for coming here–Ling Han.

  What magic did he actually possess?

  And in this moment, Cheng Wen Kun had dropped completely into the depths of despair. Even the Royal House of Da Yuan had come because of Ling Han, so what hope was there left for the Cheng Clan?

  “Are you going to force me to go all out?” Cheng Ji Yu roared loudly, his eyes wide with fury. From the looks of it, the Cheng Clan would definitely be wiped out today. Therefore, he definitely had to escape and survive, so that he could find a chance in the future to kill Ling Han.

  Not just Ling Han, but also all the other survivors of the Ling Clan!

  “Your only path is death!” Zhu He Xin said coldly. Cheng Ji Yu actually dared to harm the father of someone he thought of as half his master; the old man was also now in a towering rage.

  Chapter 85

  Cheng Ji Yu went all out. He wanted to cut out a path of blood and return later to claim his vengeance.

  Theoretically, even if there were three of him, he would still be no match for either Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan, what more now that the two were working together? However, if a martial artist of Gushing Spring Tier threw all caution away and went all out, it was still a very scary thing. Not even Zhu He Xin or Zhang Wei Shan dared to jump into a head-on clash with Cheng Ji Yu. They did not want to be dragged down together with the latter after all.

  Furthermore, how long could he last after throwing aside all caution? They only needed to stall him for a while, and after his burst of energy was exhausted, Cheng Ji Yu’s battle prowess would naturally take a drastic drop, and by that time, it’d be extremely easy to defeat him.

  “Little bastard, you’ll definitely die! All the people in your Ling Clan will die!” Cheng Wen Kun called out severely. As long as Cheng Ji Yu managed to escape with his life, then the Ling Clan would definitely be eliminated! Unless Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan planned to stand guard at the Ling Clan Residence for the rest of their lives.

  “Noisy!” Ling Han gave a cold humph, and his foot stamped down fi
rmly. “Pa,” and Cheng Wen Kun’s entire head was stamped into pulp. Blood spurted out in a gush, and the headless body struggled for quite some time before its movements ceased.

  This scene struck all the spectators speechless, as they thought that this young man really had guts of steel.

  Killing a man was not impossible, but the scary thing was how coldly he had done such a deed. With one stamp of his foot, Cheng Wen Kun’s head was smashed into pulp, yet there was no change of expression on his face. It was just too gruesome.

  “This brat from the Ling Clan has the qualifications to become a ruler—to never be merciful towards his enemies, and kill them ruthlessly!”

  “That’s right, a merciful person, no matter how talented they are, would never live very long!”

  “But when I understood that, I was already over thirty years old, and this brat from the Ling Clan is currently only seventeen years old!”
