Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2046  The Center Grave

Alex looked at the two sect leader's graves, wondering if their gravestones could hold some sort of secret that would reveal more than what they let on at first sight. But considering how these gravestones had to have been made only after the Reverend Sixghost was dead, there was a chance this was all a fool's errand.

What he truly needed to look at was Sixghost's grave. So, he walked past the bit of open space around the only grave at the center and walked toward it. But before he even went to the grave, Alex could already see a man sitting on top of it.

He was a man with the appearance of someone in their early 30s, with long hair and a thick beard that hid his face for the most part. He wore a green robe, similar to the young man he met outside, which meant that this person was from the Spring Grass sect as well.

"Brother, could you—"

"Go away, I'm not going to fight you," the man said, lazing around on top of the grave, his feet dangling before the texts that were written. Alex could see part of the name of Sixghost, so he knew he was at the right grave, but beyond that, he couldn't see much.

"I'm not here to fight you," Alex said. "I'm only—"

"Then leave. You have nothing to do here," the man said. Alex felt frustrated. "I'm only here to look through the gravestone. I want nothing to do with you," he said.

"Then come back when I'm not here," the man said, ignoring Alex beyond that.

Alex took a deep breath, calming himself. "I wish only—"

The man suddenly attacked, something bright striking Alex. Alex immediately filled his body with Qi, taking the full brunt of the attack as he was pushed back.

"Brother!" Pearl shouted from behind him.

Alex skidded along the ground, stopping only when he struck another gravestone. He looked up at the man, angry.

The man looked at him too, but the only emotion on his face was curiosity. He wanted to know how Alex had survived that attack just now.

"You used no treasures," the man said. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If you want to fight, just ask for a damn fight, you bastard!"

Several heads were turning around at this point, even the ones that were in the middle of their fights were turning around to look at the two of them now.

The man grinned as he got down from the gravestone, running his fingers through his long hair as he slanted it backward. "I have been bored out of my life for a while with no one to fight. Can you quench my thirst?"

Alex pulled out Midnight. "I'll quench it with your own blood."

"Even better."

The man grinned like a maniac, bringing out a saber to fight.

People gathered around to watch the fight, commenting on it.

"Is that kid mad? Why is he fighting that demon?"

"That kid is a demon himself. You didn't see how he fought his opponents."

"But his cultivation base is so low, can he win here?"

"Who cares if he wins? Just as long as he gives us a good show, it'll be fine."

The man in green flared his cultivation base, revealing that it was in the Immortal Ascendant 8th realm.

Alex frowned as the attack he suffered had been a lot stronger than that. The man had a high Battle Power it seemed. If it was a bit too strong, he would be in trouble.

Alex hoped it wasn't.

"Come, entertain me," the man said, leaving himself open to attacks.

Alex had no qualms in making use of this free attack. This wasn't a fight of honor. This was a fight to get the man away from the gravestone. Alex swung Midnight, letting out a black slash that streaked its way toward the man. The man swung his saber, letting out a burst of explosive energy that destroyed the black slash but was surprised to find that there was no more it could do.

His look of curiosity changed to shock when he realized that his opponent was stronger than he appeared to be.

Another attack flew toward him with a powerful, which he managed to defend just in time. He moved away before he could be attacked and slashed when he was at the side.

Saber aura flew along with the attack, making its way toward Alex. Alex felt the aura that flew toward him and knew it contained Cutting Dao and Explosion dao, both of which he understood.

He swung back at the incoming attack, using the same two Dao within his attacks as well. The sword and the saber strike clashed and disappeared.

The man looked beyond flabbergasted at the end of the exchange, while Alex was also surprised to see that the man had a Battle power of 4. That was considered quite a bit of talent in this place.

Had he had a cultivation base that was just a step higher, Alex would've had a much harder time.

"What's your name?" the man asked.

"I have no intention of telling you anything," Alex said.

"Are you hiding your strength? What's going on with your strength?" the man asked.

Alex gave a sword slash as an answer. The sword attack exploded when it clashed with the man's return attack, and the two destroyed each other.

"I am Miao Wupeng, a disciple of the Spring Grass sect," the man said. "Won't be at least honor my sect by telling your own origins?" Alex paused. "Dawnblade. I won't name my sect"

"Is there a reason why you're hiding your sect name?" the man asked.

"Is there a reason why you're asking so many questions instead of just fighting?" Alex asked back.

The man chuckled a little. "Very well, let's continue." He swung his Saber, releasing an explosive attack.

Alex created a swirl of Qi in front of him, stopping the attack. Then he swung back, releasing another attack.

The two fell into a rhythm as neither of them could get over the other's attacks. They were both exactly as strong as each other, and there was no way to beat one another, so the battle was going to end up being a battle of endurance.

At least, that was what Alex wanted the man to think. He could not win with just the strength of his attacks as it was, but he had some tricks up his sleeve that he was waiting to use.

And he found the moment when the man named Miao tried to use a different technique.

Immortal Qi filled Midnight at once, along with all of his Spiritual energy and blood aura. At the same time, he added True Metal Dao into the technique as well as Sword Aura.

The only thing he kept out was Sword Domain. But that should be enough.

He watched the man swing his sword for an attack and using that opportunity, Alex teleported right next to him and used one of his strongest attacks.

Endless Severing Sword.

The world seemed to lose color and space itself was cut briefly as Alex released this attack right next to the man.

The man had no opportunity to stop it at all.
