Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2189 - 2189 2179 Shadow

2189: Chapter 2179: Shadow 2189: Chapter 2179: Shadow Ouyang Zhen recognized the clothing of the person lying on the ground; it was clearly the attire of a member from the Heaven and Earth Gang who attended the Green Luoro Conference, but the person’s face was now unrecognizable, flesh mangled and looking as though it had been slashed by a sharp weapon.

A sudden wave of anger arose in his heart, and Ouyang Zhen let out a long howl to the sky.

The Demon Suppressing Tower, which was supposed to be safe, had witnessed a death.

Although he was not very familiar with the disciples who had come this time, he still felt an inevitable sadness.

Long Yan gently patted Ouyang Zhen’s shoulder to console him, but he himself harbored some doubts.

There was only one path on this Fifth Step, weren’t they supposed to all follow Zhang Tiankun?

How could they still encounter danger where there wasn’t even time to crush the jade tokens?

Long Yan shared his confusion with Ouyang Zhen, who also felt something was amiss.

Logically, the corpses of fellow sect members should be taken back, but these people had not done so, abandoning their fellows heedlessly, which was against the rules of the Heaven and Earth Gang.

“Unless…”

Long Yan did not finish his sentence, not out of fear, but fearing it would cause Ouyang Zhen distress, who, noticing Long Yan’s hesitant manner, showed a bitter smile.

Without Long Yan saying it, he already understood that Zhang Tiankun did not possess the strength to manage this amidst so many disciples.

The only possibility was that the monsters on this Fifth Step possessed strength beyond human capabilities and were still pursuing them.

Since Zhang Tiankun’s arrival at the Great Luoro Formation, life had been frustrating for him.

Firstly, his True Qi was deciphered by Long Yan.

Harboring a grudge, he then tried to dispose of Long Yan at the Iron Chain, aiming to kill him but failing and instead letting Long Yan gain all the glory.

In the Demon Suppressing Tower, he had initially planned to destroy the Teleportation Array to prevent others from descending to the second floor and secure the first place for himself.

However, Long Yan somehow reached the second floor and even ended up leading him into a group of monsters, from which he narrowly escaped.

But the result was, his reputation had soured.

For instance, the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Gang following him looked at him with eyes full of wariness and disgust due to his previously punishing a fellow who spoke badly of him, which only turned the tide against him, making their disdainful looks intensify.

Zhang Tiankun was not a righteous person by any means.

He cursed all along the way, until he reached this Fifth Step.

Everything had been fine initially, but halfway through, someone from behind screamed.

He looked back with impatient eyes, always thinking these disciples from major sects were overly sensitive, only to find that one of the disciples behind him had turned into a blurred mess of flesh and blood in an instant.

There wasn’t a single unharmed spot on his body.

A piercing pain ran through his scalp, and his hands grasped the Mandarin Duck Axes hanging from his arms.

A faint ripple was in the air, and Zhang Tiankun merely blocked in the direction it came from, resulting in his body being flung high into the air.

A gasp arose from among the disciples; Zhang Tiankun was indeed the strongest here, and they had all followed him to this place without encountering any formidable monsters.

Hence, this was their first encounter of such an incident, another scream echoed in the silent environment, this time from a disciple who had initially tried to help collect the bodies.

Fortunately, he narrowly avoided a fatal blow as danger approached.

The shadowy figure vanished into the dark before they could react, disappearing instantly into the darkness, leaving everyone’s fear at an all-time high as they sprinted desperately towards the far away.

This also led to the scene Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen saw just before.

Ouyang Zhen had no time for sorrow, so he used a backup Storage Ring to collect the unrecognizable Disciple’s corpse.

As for the name, that could only be addressed after returning to the Heaven and Earth Gang.

Knowing his Sect fellows were in danger, Ouyang Zhen’s pace quickened significantly, and the Passages around him grew increasingly narrow, opening up suddenly at the end.

In the vast area above, only one person remained standing, surrounded by bloodstains that were shocking to behold.

However, what slightly reassured Ouyang Zhen was that although there was blinding Fresh blood everywhere, there were no corpses on the Battlefield.

The only one who remained was naturally the Strong One, Zhang Tiankun.

It turned out Zhang Tiankun had bad luck; when tricked by Long Yan into the Monster crowd, he had lost the Token hanging at his waist.

By the time he noticed Long Yan and the others arriving here from the corner of his eye, he felt even more frustrated.

But now, he couldn’t afford to be distracted; Just now, after glancing at Long Yan, he had received an about half-foot-long wound that almost broke him in half.

What Long Yan didn’t expect was that Zhang Tiankun clenched his teeth and endured the pain.

However, because Long Yan and the other were distracted, it only increased Zhang Tiankun’s hatred towards them.

They had been chased here by a Shadow, and Zhang Tiankun had no way of dealing with this Shadow, only able to maintain a passive Defense.

Despite continuously focusing on defending, he still bore many wounds.

“Come help quickly, this thing isn’t something you two can handle alone.”

Seeing Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen watching as if they were just spectators, Zhang Tiankun was nearly furious.

Despite his resentment towards the two, the desire to survive overcame everything, and he actively sought their help.

After watching for a long time, Long Yan still couldn’t clearly make out the speed of the Shadow, so he took Ouyang Zhen and joined the fight.

The Shadow’s attacks had certain intervals; it seemed its normal speed wasn’t that fast, but it surely had a technique that could boost its speed to the extreme instantly.

“Here it comes!”

Long Yan’s sense of perception was extremely sharp—a whooshing sound came from the left, and without hesitation, Long Yan swung his blade downward.

The Snow-White Blade Light carried a momentum that seemed to cut through everything towards that Shadow.

The speed was so fast that even Zhang Tiankun found it breathtaking.

Long Yan actually possessed such strength.

Zhang Tiankun’s eyes shifted, and he quickly came up with a plan.

A sound of metal clashing echoed through the air, and Long Yan could distinctly feel his blade hit something hard.

Suddenly, a burst of True Qi erupted, knocking the three people nearby away.

“This moment!”

Zhang Tiankun roared, swinging his Mandarin Duck Axes toward Long Yan, accompanied by earth-yellow True Qi that instantly created an intimidating momentum.

Long Yan hadn’t expected Zhang Tiankun to attack him at this time.

But instinctively, Long Yan stepped back, his Dragon Tooth crossing in front of him, blocking this sure-kill strike.

“Are you crazy?”

Ouyang Zhen was furious, as they were facing a formidable enemy, yet Zhang Tiankun still found time to provoke infighting?
