Mutation Suddenly!
Struggling to move his eyes, the White-Clad Youth stared wide-eyed at the blood-red sword tip protruding from his chest.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out; only a faint hissing sound accompanied by bloody foam escaped. The expression in his eyes quickly faded, and his life force was extinguished in an instant.
It was only at this moment that the five disciples of the Danling Sect reacted, looking at the tall figure holding a sword behind the White-Clad Youth. Each of them turned pale, their already ashen faces now tinged with a ghastly white, mixed with a strong sense of horror.
No one had noticed Fang Chen's approach. Even after dealing with the Lava Demon from the Alchemy Realm, they had clearly scanned their surroundings and failed to detect anyone nearby.
How did this person suddenly appear and directly stab the strongest among them, the White-Clad Youth, to death?
"Ah!"
A scream finally erupted from the mouths of the five Danling Sect disciples, unable to be suppressed any longer.
In their shock, their first reaction was not to seek revenge against Fang Chen, who had killed the White-Clad Youth, but rather to flee in different directions at once. Within moments, they all vanished from Fang Chen's sight.
Watching this scene unfold, even Fang Chen, who was prepared for a fierce battle with the remaining five disciples of the Danling Sect, couldn't help but be taken aback.
"They actually... ran away..." he murmured, incredulous. But after that moment of disbelief, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
Although he had chosen a very clever moment to strike, taking advantage of the severe depletion of Dan Qi within the six members of the Danling Sect and their lowered vigilance, killing the leading White-Clad Youth in one blow,
he knew that a surprise attack could only take down one person. There were still five disciples of the Late Stage of Transformation Realm remaining. While these five had experienced previous battles and their combat power was significantly reduced due to their depleted Dan Qi,
they were still members of the Danling Sect. The disciples of the Danling Sect were not lacking in various medicinal pills; although their Dan Qi was severely depleted, given just a little time to recover and consume various restorative pills, they could quickly regain their strength—truly resilient like cockroaches.
For this reason, although the disciples of the Danling Sect were relatively weaker in terms of combat power during the Seven Sects Conference, they were definitely among the most troublesome opponents. After all, no one wanted to contend with someone who resembled a moving pharmacy.
And after suddenly killing the White-Clad Youth, Fang Chen knew he could not eliminate all five remaining disciples in such a short time. Therefore, he was prepared for a bloody battle. However, this outcome was clearly far beyond his expectations.
"Truly a group of alchemists," Fang Chen shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
In his previous life, he was also a ninth-grade alchemist, so Fang Chen understood well the nature of those alchemists who spent years with herbs. Sometimes, they could be extremely proud and even arrogant, but when faced with real life-and-death crises, they often revealed a cowardice far beyond that of others.
Because after years of alchemy, they had become quite different from most martial artists. Accustomed to being praised and sought after, they had rarely experienced true life-and-death battles. When something went wrong, they would collapse faster than anyone else, and one could hardly expect them to fight desperately.
"Well, this saves me a lot of trouble." Looking at the direction in which the five members of the Danling Sect had fled, Fang Chen chuckled lightly, showing no intention of pursuing them.
He reached for the package that the White-Clad Youth had been carrying on his back, opened it, and a dazzling Fiery Red Light instantly filled his vision. At the same time, a faint and strange wave began to spread out.
"Roar!"
In the distance, an excited roar from a Lava Demon echoed.
Fang Chen's expression changed slightly; at this moment, he finally understood why he had not encountered any Lava Demons of the Alchemy Realm along the way and why the six members of the Danling Sect had been targeted by one.
The reason for all this was because of the three Hearts of Lava Demons in his hand, which could almost be considered as half-step Primordial Embryo Realm.
"These three Lava Demon Hearts actually emit such a strange aura to attract other Lava Demons," Fang Chen murmured. Suddenly, he frowned as he looked at the three blood-red Hearts in his hand and softly said, "Moreover, they are difficult to store in my spatial pouch."
"I need to find a place to refine them quickly; otherwise, if I keep them on me, sooner or later I will be targeted by powerful Lava Demons. At that point, they won't be treasures but rather a disaster," Fang Chen thought clearly.
As he spoke and sensed some unusual movements around him, he dared not linger any longer. With a wave of his hand, he shattered the corpse of the White-Clad Youth into powder. After scanning his surroundings briefly, Fang Chen chose a direction and swiftly took off like a shooting star.
Just minutes after Fang Chen left, sharp whistling sounds suddenly echoed from the sky in the distance. Soon after, three figures appeared at the location where Fang Chen had been.
These three individuals were equally tall and imposing, equally cold and intimidating. More importantly, they looked exactly alike—only with slight differences in the weapons they carried.
These three were actually triplets!
"The previous commotion must have originated from here."
"The air still carries the remnants of sword energy; a great battle must have occurred here not long ago."
"I can sense the presence of those from the Danling Sect, and there’s another distinct aura... Hmm? It seems to be the aura of the Lava Demon Heart..."
The three exchanged thoughts, looking around at the empty surroundings with flickering gazes.
"Someone has stolen the Lava Demon Heart from those Danling Sect fellows!"
If Fang Chen were present, he would surely be astonished, as the three had not witnessed the previous scene. They had managed to analyze the situation almost completely based solely on the residual energies in the air.
"This person should not have left for long."
"It appears to be the Heart of a Primordial Embryo Realm Lava Demon. With it, our Flame Demon Technique should be able to advance quickly."
Exchanging quick glances, the three nodded in unison and said, "Let's pursue!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they stepped forward and vanished in the direction where Fang Chen had disappeared.
