Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 1720 Blinded Fury

Rage was all Alex felt.

Rage, and a burning desire to kill all those that stood in his way.

Alex swung Midnight and struck Long Jianyu's sword, not even realizing that was what he was doing. The massive clash let out shockwaves that passed beyond the many soldiers that surrounded him.

Long Jianyu's eyes widened in fear. He wasn't mistaken at all. Something was indeed happening here. Alex was getting stronger somehow.

Long Jianyu pushed Alex back and threw out an attack to send him away. The long battle was getting to him. He should have not fought so hard early on.

Alex was hit right in the right thing and had a large wound there. It healed quickly as it always did, but this time around there was a black ooze that was left behind where the wound had healed.

It remained for just a few seconds though, and quickly entered back into Alex's body.The source of this content ɪs N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

Alex shook his head from the pain. He breathed in and out, letting out dark mist whenever he did. His eyes were getting more and more black veins except for the purple pupils that he got from the Demon Eyes.

It was not just his eyes where the veins were showing up, however. They were now starting to show all around his body.

'What is going on?' Long Jianyu thought as he watched Alex let out haggard breath, like a rabid man. 'Is he using some sort of forbidden technique?'

Alex flew back toward Long Jianyu and started attacking more aggressively. His swings had no rhyme or reason to them, and most of them were even lacking sword Intent at this point.

Long Jianyu fought back, and with each strike, he realized that Alex was growing stronger and stronger, exponentially. This was bad.

"You all, help me!" Long Jianyu shouted before pushing Alex back away from him.

The others left the fight with the blood beasts and came to aid the commander. Many of them let out attacks toward Alex, all of which struck him directly. It created a massive explosion in the sky with winds buffeting against them.

Alex's aura nearly vanished after the attack, almost feeling as though he was near death.

When the smoke cleared and Alex was seen again, he was falling through the air with a missing head, left have, and part of his right torso. His Qi gave out and he fell through the air, falling into the ocean far down below.

Long Jianyu looked around in surprise. He looked to the others who had come to his aid and nodded toward them.

"Thank you," he said quickly as he started breathing heavily himself. The battle had been a hard one and it had taken a lot out of him. He barely had any Qi left at this point. "If you hadn't come in time, I would—"

The water exploded out in a white spray and from underneath it, Alex flew toward Long Jianyu.

Long Jainyu felt the hair on his neck stand on its end as he watched the battle-crazed Alex fly up, leaving behind what seemed like a trail of black aura.

Like a trail of darkness.

"Damn you! Why won't you die?!"

Long Jianyu had nothing left to use that would work against the man in front of him. Nothing but Immortal Qi.

He used his Immortal Qi and he used his Dao of Roots to create a massive root that flew toward Alex at an incredible speed. He aimed for Alex's heart. If he could destroy the heart, he would win.

And with how strong the attack was, there was no chance for Alex to win at all.

His only worry was that Alex would teleport, but he hadn't done so for a while now, so he felt a little more confident.

The roots left behind explosions in the air just by their sheer speed and arrived right at Alex, targeting his heart.

And then, they struck Alex's heart.

The large roots went through Alex's chest, coming out of the other side with a blood mist of the matter that made up the parts of Alex that were where it had it. That included not just Alex's heart, but also most of his ribs, his lungs, and even parts of his stomach and liver.

There was also a suspicious amount of black in the red that was left behind.

The attack was successful, and Long Jianyu left with a breath of relief.

But Alex didn't fall. He didn't die.

His now fully black eyes were staring directly at Long Jianyu and he was still proceeding. The roots tore open the entire left side of Alex's body and passed through while Alex continued up without stopping.

There was now a massive chunk missing from his torso, but his body held and the hole grew smaller in a matter of seconds. Even when his heart was destroyed, Alex came back to the fight again.

"This can't be!" Long Jianyu's burst of surprise was all that he could let out.

Alex burst out with speed as soon as he was away from the root and he arrived right in front of the man. Even as he arrived, he was already mid-swing, and he easily cut through the man in half diagonally.

The two halves of Long Jianyu started to slide off of each other, but Alex was still not done. He swung Midnight again and cut him at a different angle. Then again and again.

Alex only stopped when he was struck by multiple people from the back and was blown away.

Long Jianyu's many pieces fell to the ocean with no one even managing to save him in the end.

And then their eyes fell on Alex who was low on aura but seemed ready to kill them all. He breathed black in and out, and his body was covered in black veins at this point.

Even Midnight seemed to lose its starry luster in his hands now.

Alex grunted like a beast and went back to attack.

Not a single one remaining was even close to being strong enough to fight him. Not alone, not together.

Alex cut through the men like a farmer going through his matured crops. Like a butcher preparing for the morning's sale, he cut through the men that were around him with not a single care for whether they were fighting back or not.

It didn't matter to Alex that he was being attacked. He had stopped using Qi in his defense a long time ago, so all the attacks that landed on him were generally strong enough to hurt him.

However, thanks to the Undying God's Physique, the wounds healed just as quickly as they appeared, leaving behind only the pain of the wound. The pain was the last thing that would bother Alex at this point.

He killed soldiers --men and women-- one after another. It didn't matter to him that they were fighting back. It didn't matter that they were running away. It didn't matter that some of them begged to not be killed.

He killed them all the same, their bodies falling into the ocean to be swallowed by the cold water.

Alex's eyes fell on the group of soldiers who were trying to use their arrays on the other soldiers who were fighting him. However, each one of them was falling to him, so they were pretty much useless.

The group of soldiers panicked and thought of what they could do. But with even their commander falling to Alex, they knew they had no chance. So, the best course of action was to remain in the formation they were in and hope that they would survive here.

The barrier rippled from Alex's single hit. Then he struck it again and it rippled harder. Then, with the third strike, it broke apart.

Instantly, all 140 soldiers that were there started attacking Alex with all sorts of techniques and attacks.

lightsnοvεl Alex took on every single one of the attacks and flew to the soldiers before killing them one by one.

Many soldiers fled, some unharmed, some very much wounded. Quite a few soldiers had to run away with only their souls.

The majority, however, died to Alex. And he hadn't even used any fancy techniques.

All Alex did was slash them at close combat.

Alex attacked blindly in every direction, cutting those who he knew were close. He attacked based on instinct, hitting everything that moved. The feedback that he got through his sword when he cut someone was the only thing that kept him going.

He continued swinging, hitting whatever he came across. He killed it and moved on to the next one.

Around that point, he started hearing something that broke the peace in his mind that came with the madness.

It was a voice. Whose voice, he did not know. All he knew was that it was a voice. Someone was talking to him.

Alex did not pay any attention. He continued fighting, and when he had no opponents, he moved to find them.

Alex was unsure how long had passed since he had started fighting, but seeing as he had more enemies to fight, he did not stop.

The voice called for him again and again, and that irritated him. Who was calling for him when he had people to kill? If he found that person, he would kill him too.

The voice got loud, loud enough that he could make out the words now.

"Kid, stop!" the voice called.

Alex wasn't sure whose voice it was. He paused for a moment to figure that out.

That was all the help Godslayer needed for what he had to do next.
