Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 1719 Desperate

Alex fought against Long Jianyu, sending out attack after attack, uncaring of how inefficient his attacks were or how badly he was doing in the fight.

He had a single goal in mind —to kill all the soldiers who were here to kill him or capture him— and he was going to fulfill that goal one way or another. Even if he had to ruin his entire body for it.

Alex and Long Jianyu continued fighting, with Alex always on the losing side, but never actually using. Long Jianyu was must stronger than Alex, but Alex had with him a variety of powers that made it hard for Long Jianyu to easily defeat Alex.

Alex's teleportation was a problem, but it was only a defensive problem and never an offensive problem. He hadn't managed to use his Teleportation skill to teleport into the barrier behind Long Jianyu, and thus the soldiers behind him were safe. Instead, he only used it to dodge Long Jianyu's attacks when it was too hard to handle.

That did mean that Long Jianyu would continue being stronger than Alex, but he would never actually beat him without catching him off guard somehow.

Another problematic thing about Alex's fighting was that he had just so many different Dao that Long Jianyu could never predict just what was coming next.

Long Jianyu only had 2 Dao learned in all of his life. One was the Dao of plants, which had little use in fighting, and the next was the Dao of Roots, which was a little better in fights.

However, those 2 Daos could never be compared to Alex's dozen. Sometimes there would be a Fire attack, and sometimes a Metal. Sometimes he would get attacked with a Yang palm and then another time be attacked with Space itself.

There were also other attacks that Alex used that were annoying for Long Jianyu to handle. He was jealous of Alex's Sword Aura, and absolutely horrified by the continuous mental attacks that seemed to come with every other slash of his sword.

Alongside that, from time to time, there was also a crimson glow to his attack, which improved his power for some reason. Long Jainyu had failed to figure out what it was.

All in all, fighting against Alex was going poorly for him, even though he was winning.Googlᴇ search NovelEnglish.net

The fight went on for nearly 20 minutes, with each party continuously sending out attacks. Long Jianyu was starting to get somewhat tired from the relentless battle where each attack was the best he could do.

He wanted to rest, but this wasn't the time. Alex was doing much worse than him.

Alex's state was absolutely haggard. His mind was a ball of confusion and madness. He had been using his Dao so much that his head felt like it would split open any second, but he still kept using it. He couldn't think straight at this point and the only thing he could think was that he needed to kill everyone in front of him.

He could hear his own heartbeat in his ears. The smell of blood filled his nose and that was all he could smell. An acrid taste filled his mouth, one that Alex hadn't even noticed.

Alex's eyes were not just bloodshot anymore either. Small dark veins were growing in the whites of his eyes. His vision was dark around the corners with only a small section in front of him in clear view.

lightsnοvεl Alex didn't know what was happening, but he was simply too maddened to worry about it. His only worry right now was how to kill the man in front of him.

He continued his attacks, his might growing more painful each second. Thoughts were distant for Alex now, with only the instinct to kill driving him forward.

As the fighting continued, Alex started taking on more damage than he could handle. His body was wounded all over from the attacks, but they healed instantly, and he could go back to the fight.

He continued fighting, taking on more and more wounds as more time went on.

The first thing Alex stopped using was Dao. He wasn't even aware that he had stopped using Dao. He simply did. That made his attacks very much weaker, while not lessening the pain and madness that filled his mind.

Long Jianyu was starting to get tired too and was quite low on Qi, but his victory was just around the corner, so he continued.

Alex fought for some time and then stopped using his blood in the battle as well. Once his Blood armor was destroyed, it no longer showed up again despite him being able to use it.

As the fighting continued, Alex next stopped using his Sword Aura and Sword Qi, using Sword Intent basically out of instinct.

Around this time, the other soldiers arrived and surrounded Alex.

Immediately, they started attacking Alex from all directions. Alex did his best to stop the attacks, but he was being bombarded all around and in his current state, there wasn't much he could do.

Surprisingly, it wasn't pain that came out on top of all of this. It was anger.

Alex was furious at the situation and lashed out wherever he could, but Long Jianyu was already next to him and stopping any attacks that could be dangerous for the others.

Alex felt himself losing connections to things somewhere in the back of his mind. It took him a while to realize that his blood beasts were also fighting the newly arrived individuals and were doing quite horribly as well.

They were dying one by one while putting up somewhat of a fight, but not one good enough.

"AAAAARRRHH!" he screamed and swung Midnight, trying to cut anyone he could. It didn't matter who he attacked anymore. He just wanted to kill. He wouldn't care if the one he attacked right now was his own beast.

Alex attacked on instinct, his confused mind no longer capable of sustaining thoughts long enough to form a coherent battle plan. There was no skill or technique to his attacks. It was simply random attacks filled with energy that he was already running low on.

Long Jianyu relaxed a lot as the fight continued. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Alex lost. He was on his last leg already and was doing what any desperate animal does when cornered.

Long Jianyu was strong enough now that Alex's suicidal attacks did not matter to him anymore. He simply blocked the attacks, while slashing back.

He had seen Alex's body regenerate from even cut limbs in a matter of seconds, so he wanted to see how long he could continue to do that.

Long Jianyu continued attacking and defending, while the others fought the beasts made of blood. 'Finish that already,' he thought with a hidden sigh. Just how weak was the Scale legion that they couldn't fight against these weak beasts either?

Alex attacked again, his sword swinging directly for Long Jianyu.

Long Jianyu attacked back in defense and the two attacks clashed. Long Jianyu's eyes immediately narrowed in a hint of confusion.

Something was different about the attack just now. He looked at Alex and saw a phenomenon around his body that he had never seen before.

"What… is going on with him?"
