The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Star-bursting Fist

“I think you’re quite good. Despite some lack in character, I suppose you could be a worthy addition to my following. What do you say? In time, when I ascend to the top of the Nine Countries, you too could share in that glory,” said Fang Lin with a beaming smile.

At these words, the other three people in the room froze in bewilderment. Zhou Yishui’s face darkened; even with his excellent composure, he was agitated by Fang Lin’s audacious comment.

Xu Wang and Steward Shen watched with stunned expressions, their gazes on Fang Lin as though they were looking at a downright monster.

Had this guy lost his mind? Thinking of having Crown Prince Zhou Yishui as a follower? And planning to ascend to the summit of the Nine Countries? Surely, this was too preposterous, even for a boastful bluff.

The summit of the Nine Countries? What did that letter mean? Even a prodigy like Zhou Yishui was only considered exceptional within Xuan Country. If he were to enter the Upper Three Countries, he would not even measure up.

The prodigies of the Upper Three Countries were anomalies in their own right and could not be explained with common sense.

But Fang Lin, with his realm of cultivation, had the audacity to claim that he would ascend to the summit of the Nine Countries. Hearing this made him sound extremely foolish.

“Do you realize what you’re saying?” Zhou Yishui calmly spoke; his tone suggesting a hint of anger.

Fang Lin looked at Zhou Yishui with a solemn expression, “I know, don’t you think my offer is enticing? Or do you think you are unworthy to be my follower? You need not worry, I’m quite easy-going, although you are worthless beyond your strength, you have at least formed a decent human shape. You barely pass to be my follower.”

Steward Shen nearly kneeled before Fang Lin. This was Crown Prince Zhou Yishui, how could he dare speak to him so audaciously? He must be insane.

“Fang Lin, you’re courting death!” Enraged, Xu Wang almost wanted to rush forward and fight it out with Fang Lin.

Zhou Yishui did not say anything further. He finally realized that Fang Lin was merely teasing him, trying to strike at his pride, aiming to disrupt his state of mind.

Just like when Zhou Yishui had previously declared his intention to marry Dugu Nian, he was also trying to unsettle Fang Lin’s state of mind.

Unfortunately for him, what caliber of a person was Fang Lin? His state of mind wasn’t so easily swayed. Conversely, Fang Lin’s words had provoked Zhou Yishui, who was now unable to remain calm and suppress his anger; he wanted to kill Fang Lin on the spot.

“Fang Lin, do you think, with this Spirit Body of mine, I cannot kill you?” Zhou Yishui spoke with a deadly glint in his eyes.

Fang Lin scoffed, “If you can, then act. Why waste time speaking unnecessary words?”

Zhou Yishui nodded, “As you wish, then I will make you understand the insurmountable chasm between us.”

As soon as he spoke, Zhou Yishui resolutely attacked. His right hand was transformed into a giant fist imprint.

His fist imprint was bathed in the blaze of countless stars, concealing a terrifying aura that caused both Fang Lin and Steward Shen to change color.

A mere punch from Zhou Yishui and Fang Lin already felt like he was being suffocated.

“If you survive this Star-bursting Fist, I’ll permit you to be my opponent. If you perished, there’s nothing more to say,” Zhou Yishui said in an extremely cold voice, throwing a solitary punch, and then standing there with his hands behind his back.

Fang Lin roared with rage but was also terrified in his heart. The power contained in that punch was unimaginably immense; it was hard to believe that it was just a punch thrown by a Spirit Body.

“Don’t take it head-on, let me assist you!” Steward Shen, sensing the grim situation, was about to step in and aid Fang Lin. The power behind Zhou Yishui’s punch was significantly stronger; it seemed impossible for Fang Lin to bear it on his own.

“I will do it myself!” Fang Lin cried out, declining Steward Shen’s assistance.

“This punch is just from a Spirit Body. If I cannot withstand this, then how can I ever compete with Zhou Yishui?” Fang Lin told himself, his eyes filled with determination.

The next instant, Fang Lin let out all his strength and started to use a skill he hadn’t used in a long time.

The Breaking Peak Gift, the power of Counterattack!

Facing the Star-bursting Fist, powerful enough to turn most Heavenly Origin experts pale, Fang Lin chose to fight back directly.

Similarly, he struck back with a punch. Regardless of the circumstances, Fang Lin’s punch appeared frail compared to the Star-bursting Fist.

“Back off!” roared Fang Lin as he collided violently with the Star-bursting Fist.

Bang!!!

Surprisingly, the giant fist imprint was dislodged by Fang Lin and was sent flying back at Zhou Yishui.

This scene made Zhou Yishui pale, Xu Wang startled, and Steward Shen’s face showed a look of surprise.

The Star-bursting Fist, it was really blocked by Fang Lin!

Not only that, but the fist was also reflected back at Zhou Yishui. What was he trying to do? Give him a taste of his own medicine?

With a cold snort, Zhou Yishui waved his sleeve and steered the Star-bursting Fist back towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin cursed in his heart; he had originally thought his Counterattack power from Breaking Peak would hurt Zhou Yishui. However, Zhou Yishui had easily neutralized it.

Moreover, when the Star-bursting Fist came for the second time, Fang Lin didn’t have the capability to use his Counterattack power again; he could just brace it out on his own.

Without any hesitation, Fang Lin pushed his limits with his physical strength, the Power of Breaking Peak, and ran the Purple Mist Sky Sutra.

At this point, Fang Lin was in his pinnacle state.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Star-bursting Fist fell, completely engulfing Fang Lin. It seemed like his physical form was thoroughly crushed by the power of the fist imprint.

Bang!!!

A huge pit, violently carved out as a result. Steward Shen backed off continuously, looking frightened. Even if he managed to withstand this punch, he felt he might have lost half his life.

“Fang Lin is bound to die!” Xu Wang roared, his eyes filled with delight. In his eyes, there was no way Fang Lin could withstand the impact; he was certainly killed by the Crown Prince’s punch.

Steward Shen also looked worried. This punch was too deadly. Could Fang Lin truly survive?

When the fist imprint scattered to reveal the giant pit underneath, Steward Shen took a hurried glance and felt a chill run down his spine.

Fang Lin, he was gone!

“Ha ha ha ha! Killed as expected, he dared to withstand the Crown Prince’s Star-bursting Fist head-on, simply overestimating himself.” Xu Wang laughed heartily, looking thoroughly exhilarated, being able to vent out his built-up resentment after clashing with Fang Lin.

Zhou Yishui seemed composed, seemingly having anticipated that Fang Lin would be killed; he showed no surprise.

Steward Shen looked at the empty pit and felt unpleasant. Did Fang Lin just die like that?

“What a pity!” lamented Steward Shen in his heart. If Fang Lin had lived, he was destined to shine in the Pill Alliance. He hadn’t expected him to fall here.

Ultimately, Crown Prince Zhou Yishui was much stronger; he resolved Fang Lin just by taking action with a Spirit Body.

As Zhou Yishui was about to leave with Xu Wang, his face suddenly changed. The ground beneath his feet exploded, and a figure shot out.
