Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 217: Revelation

"It's you!," Alex said in shock as he stared at Song Zun standing in front of him.

"So you came here by yourself brat. I wanted to kill you myself when I went back to the sect, but it seems that I won't have to do anything crafty to find you and kill you. You came to your death yourself," Song Zun said.

'Kill me?' Alex was shocked that that was the intention Song Zun had. If he was strong, it would be dangerous right now.

"Kill me? Just because I found you doing something evil?" Alex asked with a snort.

"Hehe, I've killed people for less," Song Zun said as the grin on his face became even more dangerous.

Alex finally realized. He wasn't up against a person who did some low-level crimes and got sent here for a few months. He was now going to fight against an actual killer.

'Damn, does that mean he had killed people from Hong Wu Sect before too?" Alex wondered but immediately ignored the different thoughts popping in his mind as this was not the time to be getting distracted.

"You should be ashamed making so many people hurt and hungry for no reason at all," Alex said.

"Is that all you want to say to me? Don't you want to apologize before I kill you?" Song Zun asked.

"Apologize? You got into this situation because of yourself. If you hadn't stolen your alchemy ingredients from the alchemy gardens, you would've never been here in the first place," Alex said.

"Besides, I'm not here for them in the first place. My original intention is to take away the yang jades you have gathered anyway. So our intention to fight each other is the same."

Song Zun frowned. "You want my yang jades? What use do you have for them?" he asked.

"What use do you have for them?" Alex asked the same question back.

"Pfft. HAHAHAHAHA," Song Zun laughed. "Nice one kid. Alas, you are a day late. I have used up all the ones I gathered by now," He said.

"Used up?" Alex asked in confusion. 'He knows how to use the yang jades too? Does he had the Son God's Divine Yang body like me or is it something else?' Alex wondered.

"Enough talking. You can go die now." Song Zun launched forward and delivered a normal punch at Alex. Alex immediately brought both of his hands upfront and tried to block the attack.

Instead of blocking, however, he was sent flying backward by the sheer force behind Song Zun's punch. Alex managed to flip in mid-air and landed on his feet, but he couldn't help but be surprised by the force behind Song Zun's punch. His arms were fully numb from the strike.

Song Zun was shocked to see Alex perfectly fine as well. He had expected to put a hole in his body, and instead, he was just sent flying backward. There weren't even any signs of broken bones or anything.

"Did… Did the boss get weaker?" one of the people on the side asked.

"No way, he defeated that terrible Zheng Min without any problem. He can't have gotten weaker than before," another person said.

"But, that new guy wasn't even hurt," another person said.

"Are you guys idiots? Look at how far he was thrown back with a single punch. You think somebody weak can do that. Instead, the newcomer must be really strong as well. Hell, I'm getting out of here. I don't want to get in the fight between these two," the girl said and immediately ran away from the area.

The others got up and ran away as well after realizing that she was right.

Song Zun looked at him with a stunned expression and asked, "Was that a fluke, or did you really block that?"

Before Alex could even answer anything, Song Zun once more rushed forward with a much stronger punch. Alex didn't let him get him this time. He too threw a punch right back at him.

A not-so-small sound resulted from the clash of their two punches. They were both sent back and stood on their feet. Song Zun looked back at Alex dumbfounded.

"How are you not dead right now?" Song Zun asked. "You blocked my punch without a single treasure or armor. That would only mean your body is strong."

He then looked at Alex more curiously and asked, "hmm… are you a clone? Did someone make your body strong too after your death and are using it?"

"No, can't be. Only your skin or muscles would be strong that way. But you are actually fully strong from the inside out. That could only mean…. A body cultivator?" he was shocked by his own analysis.

"That's right," he smiled as he looked at Alex and asked, "You are a body cultivator, aren't you? It's very rare to see your type. No wonder you came here trying to fight me. You must've thought you could beat me."

"Well, bad luck to you. I have a strong body as well," Song Zun said.

Alex heard everything that was said. He understood how Song Zun came to the answer that Alex was a body cultivator. Body cultivators were rare, so it was no surprise Song Zun would be surprised by the fact that Alex was one.

However, at the moment, Even Alex himself was surprised. Somewhere along with his speech, his analysis, Song Zun had slipped something that he probably didn't intend to say, but accidentally did.

"So you are not a body cultivator like I thought you would be, huh?" Alex asked, still with some surprise on his face.

"Hmm? A body cultivator? Sorry to say it you kid, but I'm not one of your types. I wouldn't even know where to begin," Song Zun said. He was very honest about it.

"I understood that. I came here expecting to fight a body cultivator. However, I would've never in my wildest dreams expected the boss of these forbidden fields to actually be a clone."
