Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy,1119 Victory? - Read free novels online

Alex put Midnight into his storage ring. He didn’t find any use for it now that he was weaker than the woman to the point that his blood attacks were doing nothing to stop her attack.

He still had enough blood in him to survive another 30 minutes of battle if he were to use it all, but after that, he would have not a single useful drop of blood remaining in his body.

His undying physique also restored his blood, but that blood never held any blood aura. That came from the blood that was created by his bone marrow, and that took a long time.

‘It’s all or nothing then,’ Alex thought.

He could think of only two ways where he had any chance of victory in this battle at all.

That was something he came to understand after looking at the facts in front of him.

The green-robed woman had been fighting for a while now, so she was bound to be running out of Qi. Given that she didn’t have access to her storage bag, she couldn’t use any Qi replenishing pill she may have.

As for Alex, he was running out of blood aura, but his Qi was as full as ever. He had been barely using any of it at all, so he had an excess amount of it.

He could only find victory if he made use of this Qi.

The first path to victory was simple, and Alex chose this one to start with.

His blood armor suddenly liquidized to flow into his arm where it formed two long blades. At the same time, more blood came out from within him to replace the armor.

His armor while strong, was mostly for a show at the moment. The only part it truly protected was his dantian, his heart, and his head. Everywhere else from his chest, to his stomach was formed with a weaker blood aura that certainly couldn’t protect him at all.

After all that was ready, he shot forward.

The girl was resting for 2 seconds after cutting off Alex’s arms before she was attacked again. This time, he jumped towards her with his blood blades.

She attacked immediately without waiting. Another wind slice flew through the air, targeting Alex’s body. However, he shifted at the last moment, so that it was only his arm that was cut off once again.

Even as his arm was cut off, he continued moving forward, and the blood blade that was on his arm, flew back towards him as his newly grown arm grabbed onto it and swung at the green-robed lady that was in front of him right now.

A massive tree appeared right in front of her that blocked the attack and a pair of vines appeared from the ground to grab Alex.

Alex jumped backward, but the vines were too fast and grabbed onto his ankles. Without blinking an eye, he cut off his leg and moved back.

By the time he landed, his leg had grown back as well.

So what the hell was this?

Alex frowned slightly. ‘That certainly uses quite a lot of Qi,’ he thought. He hadn’t lost this many body parts within such a small interval, so he was surprised at the overall loss of Qi.

It wasn’t a large amount by any means, but it was certainly not a small amount either. He would have to be careful not to overdo it.

He jumped back towards her again, going into closed combat.

His plan was simple. Fight her up close and force her to use as much Qi as possible while trying to land a hit on her with the blood swords.

The woman retaliated with her own attack, which Alex dodged while taking some damage. He jumped back in and made her use more Qi before gaining some distance.

He waited for her to use another ranged attack, and once he dodged that, he went back to her with his two weaker blood blades in hand.

He swung the swords again, but this time a tree root slammed onto his back. He grunted as he was pushed forward more than he wanted to and fell straight onto the path of an incoming attack.

Alex tried to move, but it was too late.

A strong bolt of lightning fell onto him, hurting him despite the armor. The armor cracked in all places but the ones where it was the strongest.

Alex cried out in pain as the lightning burned his body all around. As his body fell uncontrollably toward the ground where the girl launched one of the strongest wind blade attacks yet.

The wind blade struck him and cut his body in half, right from his waist, barely a few centimeters below his dantian.

His body flopped onto the ground in two parts, but the girl wasn’t done. Something grew out of the ground and swallowed both parts of Alex.

The carnivorous plant chewed onto Alex’s body, slowly dissolving him in its toxin.

The girl finally sat back down in relief as Alex was eaten by her plant. She checked her Qi reserve which was starting to get pitifully low and knew she had not more than a few more attacks in her.

“Old man, are you awake yet?” the girl asked in a tired voice. “We’re done here.”

“This body… won’t survive for long,” the dark-skinned girl said as blood trailed from her lips. “Find me another one.”

“You’re already dying,” the girl said. “Your soul is all but dead. There are no people here with a weaker spirit than yours. You are at death’s door. Just give up, old man. It will be easier that way.”

The green-robed girl turned back towards the dark-skinned girl. She slowly walked toward her and pulled out the bloody dagger that was jammed into her chest.

“I will tell the leader that you died in battle,” she said as she brought the dagger high above.

“No, no! Don’t kill me. I can live,” the dark-skinned woman shouted.

“You’ve lived too long.”

The old man’s soul tried to leave the dark-skinned girl’s body, but before he could, the green-robed girl jammed the dagger onto the girl’s dantian, killing the old man’s soul along with the body.

She let go of the dagger and slumped back. “Leader… will get angry,” she thought. “So many died. He will have to restart once again.”

“That’s quite cruel of you,” Alex spoke from behind her.

The girl quickly released her sense only to find that Alex had arrived next to her. His hands were empty to her eyes, but to her senses, they held a sword.

He swung it right across her chest.

For a second, the girl thought she was dead. However, she realized that nothing had happened.

“You bastard! How are you still alive?” she shouted as she brought out roots from the ground to attack him. However, the roots that came out were barely strong at all.

Alex casually struck them and they were destroyed.

“What?” the girl couldn’t help but ask in surprise. “How did you?”

“So, that makes it what? 5? 5 members of the Dark Phoenix assassin group dead,” Alex said. “Thanks for helping me kill one of them at least.”

The girl heard those words, but her mind was too jumbled at the moment to listen to them. Multiple questions floated in her head, none of which had an answer.

Why was he alive? How did he regenerate? Why was he not eaten by her plant? What did he do to her? How did he block her attack so easily?

“What is that sword?” she asked.

“This?” Alex lifted the spiritual sword in his hand. “This is my 2nd method of killing you. I’m glad that it works… although you seem to be recovering already.”

“I’ll kill you!” she grunted.

“Didn’t you already? And look what that resulted in,” he said.

The girl frowned. She was angry but she had no idea how she could beat him now. He was like a cockroach that came back no matter how many times he was killed, so needed to make sure she killed him properly this time around.

‘Am I really going to do this?’ she thought. It was a desperate move, so she didn’t plan on using it just yet.

At the same time, Alex jumped at her with his invisible sword and started swinging it around.

With each hit, he was weakening the girl’s mental connection to her body. That resulted in her not being able to use as much of her body as she could, which then resulted in her not being able to use as much of her Qi.

She could alleviate this by using her own spiritual energy to drive away the effects, but she hadn’t realized it yet.

Alex kept attacking, waiting for her to completely run out of Qi before he could kill her. As long as she had her qi, he knew no attack of his could ever hurt her even a single bit.

The woman tried to fight back, but she couldn’t use her Qi as well as she wanted. So, as the fight prolonged, she started getting more and more desperate.

In her desperation, she took the only route she thought was the best for her in her current situation.

Alex sensed what was happening and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Shit!”

She was going to blow up her body.
