Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2062  A Strong Sword

Alex had disrupted her attacks with his Ice spears and caused her to momentarily be blinded from everything. Then, he teleported right beside her, his technique already prepared and slashed.

A bangle that the woman wore shined brightly all of a sudden, creating a large, golden barrier around the woman that stopped Alex\'s Endless Severing Sword.

He quickly teleported away, now happy that he had finally taken away her life-saving treasure. He couldn\'t rejoice fully just yet as she might have another one as well, but he didn\'t believe she did.

At least, Miao Wupeng mentioned that one could only get a single such treasure from the sect.

\'The attack was strong enough that her life-saving treasure should have all activated at once,\' Alex thought.

"Aarrgh!" the woman shouted all of a sudden while still within the golden barrier and converged Dao of Wood and Wind around her, throwing vines, leaves, and thick wooden spears all at him, with no regard for her own defense.

Using so many techniques at once made it impossible for her to activate other techniques, but given that she was currently protected by the barrier, there was no need for such a thing.

Alex flew around, dodging the attacks when he could and using his Jade Skin technique the other time to withstand it. He kept a close eye on the barrier, making sure he didn\'t miss when it stopped working.

Suddenly, the woman brought something out within the barrier, and Alex saw it as two things.

The first was a single sword and the second was a small vial. She opened the vial and out came a pill, which she quickly ate. Then, she raised the sword and swung.

The timing of her sword swing was the same as the timing when her barrier went out. Alex saw the swing and got ready to block it with his own body, but at that exact moment, he sensed the strength of the strike.

It was far beyond what someone of her caliber should have been able to release.

Alex put his shield to the side and stopped the attack. His shield stopped the attack, but the attack was strong enough that it nearly depleted the entire thing in that one swing.

Alex was horrified by the strength of the attack and was thankful that he had been saved. The shield was strong enough to defend itself from a single attack from someone in the Immortal Spirit realm, so for it to nearly lose it all, the attack must\'ve been somewhere within the Immortal Transcendent realm.

Alex could tell that some Qi remained within the shield, which could maybe block half a dozen of her attacks now.

He saw the woman far in front of her, breathing heavily as the attack had taxed a lot on her body. He was about to attack again when he saw her raise the sword.

Her entire body wavered as she did so, seeing as it most likely took a lot out of her to produce such strength with her sword. And then, she swung it again. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alex teleported away immediately, not wanting to come close to being hit by such an attack, but the attack changed, coming directly for him.

Alex realized that he couldn\'t block the attack, and neither could he run away from it. It came directly for him, with full intention to kill him.

The woman was probably certain that Alex would get teleported out of this secret realm, but considering where Alex had kept the talisman, he would die before the talisman sensed what was happening.

Alex had no intention of dying.

He reached into his Soul Space, quickly finding what he wanted, and brought it out. A medium-sized golden mirror appeared in front of him and he placed it right before him.

Alex braced for the worst and put his shield between him and the mirror as the attack struck the mirror.

He expected the mirror to stop most of the attack and only let a bit through, but to his surprise, it stopped it all.

He had overestimated the strength of the attack and underestimated the strength of his mirror.

The Mirror of Barren Truth could reflect any attack that was on the same level as the Qi that was put into the mirror.

And because Alex had it be filled with Wang Yanwei\'s Qi, her cultivation base was thankfully high enough to stop this attack. She was, after all, in the Immortal Transcendent realm.

Alex put the Mirror back into his Soul Space and watched as the attack returned back to who attacked it first.

Ren Muwen wasn\'t expecting the attack at all, so when it came for her, she had nothing to stop it. The sword had already drawn a lot out of her, and there was only so much she could pour into it to produce this sort of strength.

Until recently, a single slash was the most she could use. So being able to use two was a great improvement.

Alas, this backfired on her in this exact situation as the attack came for her.

Ren Muwen wasn\'t even sure if the talisman she wore could protect her as the expectation around those talismans was that everyone was only as strong as those in the Immortal Origin realm.

She could very well die.

Ren Muwen wasted no time and brought out her talisman, activating the teleportation spell within it herself. She would not wait and gamble on her life at the moment.

Alex watched the woman teleport away and took a deep breath as his part of the battle was over. It was a decent battle, with a few turns, but he had come out victorious in the end.

He turned around, seeing everyone that was half-fighting and half-looking in his direction. Not a single person had missed the attack that Ren Muwen had used in the end, and even fewer people had missed when she had the attack sent back to her.

There were nearly 200 fighters in the other group, compared to 60 in theirs. And yet, the single event on the battlefield had changed the tide.

When Alex turned to look toward them, many of them stepped back, a few even running away, not wanting to be part of the fight anymore.

A lot still remained, hoping that they could win in the end. They had the numbers advantage after all.

Alex knew that didn\'t matter. He was barely tired and could continue to fight. This battle meant little to him now that the strongest of them was gone, so it was time to end it.

He won his battle. It was now time to win the war.
