The Alchemist God Chapter 129 – Twenty pounds of shit

Chapter 129: Twenty pounds of s.h.i.+t

A spirit beast’s age did not determine how strong it was and was only one of the factors to its strength. For example, this Golden Scaled Beast, although it was 6200 years old, its intelligence far surpa.s.sed its female counterpart. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to comprehend how to use the battle qi armour.

“Su, su…….”

The beast’s claw stepped onto the snow and the Golden Scaled Beast’s blood red eyes stared at Lin Mu Yu. It was slowly walking over to him, this was a beast special attack ability – looking for an opportunity!

Lin Mu Yu’s heart turned cold because he had still underestimated the 6200 year old spirit beast’s strength. This Golden Scaled Beast was not something that he could fight alone.

“Ao!”

It was coming. The Golden Scaled Beast’s body was covered in a battle qi armour and it actually stood up as it charged forward. Its claws slashed forward three times and hit the gourd wall with a “peng, peng, peng” sound. It almost instantly shattered the Black Turtle Sh.e.l.l and the Dragon Scale Wall. In the next moment, the golden light transformed into a claw glow.

Lin Mu Yu’s body sunk down as far as he could go and he felt a cold wind pa.s.s over his head, followed by a few strands of hair falling down. How terrifying, he had almost been slapped to death by the Golden Scaled Beast.

His foot slid and he quickly dodged to the right side of the beast. Flicking his sword, it quickly slashed out a few times, but it could not break through the Golden Scaled Beast’s battle armour. He immediately felt a bad premonition filling his heart.

As expected, a cold wind flew by his body. It was the Golden Scaled Beast’s tail.

“Peng!”

With a heavy hit, the armour on Lin Mu Yu’s left shoulder was crushed and the sound of bone breaking was heard. Without the protection of the gourd wall, even though his bones had been refined, it still had no way of resisting the direct attack of a 6200 year old spirit beast.”

“Quickly save him!”

On top of the hill, a group of Imperial Guards and imperial guard soldiers rushed forward. Wei Chou jumped down and slammed his sword onto the Golden Scaled Beast’s behind. The other imperial guard soldiers were shooting arrows from a short distance, raining down arrows on the Golden Scaled Beast’s battle armour. The Imperial Guards also rushed forward. Before the arrows could even land, they rushed out with their spears raised and “sou, sou, sou” sounds rang out as the spears shot at the Golden Scaled Beast’s glowing body.

“Ao!”

The Golden Scaled Beast flew into a rage and the scales on its body seemed to stand up. Wind and snow was scattered all around it as a light was released from the Golden Scaled Beast’s body and a light energy attack erupted from the Golden Scaled Beast. Immediately, it knocked back the Imperial Guards and imperial guard soldiers, with many people letting out pitiful cries as they were injured.

Lin Mu Yu endured his pain and was knocked back several steps by the attack. He quickly raised his usable right hand and with the flames lingering on the sword, it shot out while beginning to spin. The True Dragon Flame was concentrated around the sword, at the same time, he summoned out his martial spirit and loudly shouted, “Poison!”

The poison did not come from the gourd martial spirit, rather it came from the sword blade.

“Wei Chou, distract it for a second!” Lin Mu Yu shouted out as he controlled the prairie sword.

Wei Chou nodded and stood up from the ground. His sword turned into a cold glow as it rushed out at the Golden Scaled Beast, but the Golden Scaled Beast looked down on him and just raised his claws to deal with it!

“Dang!”

Wei Chou’s steel sword broke and he suffered a hit to the chest. The Golden Scaled Beast’s claws pushed forward and he was sent onto the snow covered ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. It was a good thing he had the fire qi surrounding him, otherwise he might have died.

When the Golden Scaled Beast was focused on Wei Chou, there was a ma.s.s of scorching flames coming from behind it. It was Lin Mu Yu’s dragon flame spiral!

“Pu!”

The mighty spin force pierced into the Golden Scaled Beast’s scales and burning hot blood dripped out of its wound. At the same time, the gourd’s poison entered into the Golden Scaled Beast’s body and the flesh around the wound twitched, and then rotted.

“Ao, ao…….”

That originally awe inspiring angry roar turned into a shocked cry. The Golden Scaled Beast’s claw was covered in golden light as it charged out at Lin Mu Yu. It jumped and its claws fell from the sky, creating a giant pressure as it fell down.

Lin Mu Yu’s heart turned cold because his injuries had slowed down his reaction and it was already too late to use the Falling Star Steps. He braced himself and clenched his teeth as he raised his right arm and drew power from deep within his body, the Fourth Luminary!

Instantly he felt that his body was about to be ripped apart and his mind seemed like it was burning, as if there was a power that was melting his entire body. The power of his current soul could not handle the strength of the Fourth Luminary and forcing it would hurt his body, but he did not care about that. If he did not use the might of the Fourth Luminary, then his fifty one subordinates would all die in the Dragon Seeking Forest.

Covering his b.l.o.o.d.y right fist were streaks of G.o.dly and spiritual shadows, which quickly turned into the figure of a star. The power flowed forth and even the forcefully activated strength was very shocking!

Fourth Luminary, G.o.d and Spirit’s Cry!

“Peng!”

A fist slammed into the Golden Scaled Beast’s lower jaw and pushed right through its brain. At the same time, the Golden Scaled Beast’s claw slashed down on Lin Mu Yu’s chest and with a “pacha” sound, it split his chest armour in two, revealing his body and sending his blood flying. His refined bones could not withstand this attack and with a searing pain filling him, he was sent flying by this one attack.

The Golden Scaled Beast heavily fell to the ground while letting out angry roars, but it was already at death’s throes after suffering the Fourth Luminary, G.o.d and Spirit’s Cry.

“Quickly save Sir!”

The injured Wei Chou angrily shouted out and immediately, nine Imperial Guards holding their sword went forward. Surrounding the Golden Scaled Beast, they stabbed its body with their swords. As blood flowed forth, the Golden Scaled Beast let out a pitiful cry and took its last breath.

Lin Mu Yu raised his head to see the Golden Scaled Beast die and he let out a sigh of relief. Finally, they wouldn’t need to all die.

Rubbing the bottles in his waist bag, he found that several bottles of recovery potions were destroyed. It was a good thing that there were still two bottles left, enough to use. There was also a bottle muscle and bone connecting potion that could be used together. His bones had been broken this time, so it was impossible for him to not use it. It was a good thing there were several bottles and there was enough to use. It was a good thing he had this muscle and bone connecting potion otherwise it would have taken a long time to completely recover.

Moreover with the large snowfall sealing off the mountain and freezing everything, it would have taken a while to heal his injuries. If he didn’t have the muscle and bone connecting potion, it would have been easy for the wound to be infected or suffered from frostbite.

Wei Chou handed over a warm Golden Scale Beast’s spirit stone and his eyes fell onto Lin Mu Yu’s wound. He could not help saying in a trembling voice, “Sir, you……You are an Imperial Guard Commander, there is no need for you to personally fight a 6200 year old spirit beast…..Moreover, you are important to both her highness Yin and princess Xi, you should not be acting this way……”

Lin Mu Yu looked at him with a smile and said, “If I didn’t go forth, there would have been people that would have died to the Golden Scale Beast.”

“What’s wrong with that……”

Wei Chou said, “From the moment we joined the Imperial Guards, we have already pledged our loyalty to the country. If we can trade our lives for a spirit stone that helps with her highness Yin’s cultivation, then that is worth it. In the end there is no need for Sir to suffer this kind of heavy injury.”

“Wei Chou.” Lin Mu Yu said with a serious face, “What do you think is more important? Me not being injured or the lives of the Imperial Guards?”

“This, I……”

“It is one’s life. I’d rather be injured than letting a single person die.” Lin Mu Yu said with a sigh.

Wei Chou’s eyes filled with thought as he stood on the side silently. Lin Mu Yu’s white clothes had been dyed half red, but he did not make a single sound. After he finished treating his wounds, he put on a new set of temple battle clothes, radiating with health, as if he had not been injured at all. Of course, only he knew just how much pain he felt.

Ever since he was little, Lin Mu Yu knew that as a man, if he did not bare his pain, then who would he depend on?

There were many imperial guards that were injured, so they took turns peeling off the Golden Scaled Beast’s skin. The fur could be used to create leather armour or fur coats and the scales could be crushed to make medicine which is said to be very helpful in resisting the cold. As for how effective they were, no one knew. Lin Mu Yu did not know either because his forte was in pill refinement. As for the human body, his knowledge was far below Chu Yao’s.

Thinking of this, he covered his wound and couldn’t help thinking of his elder sister Chu Yao. Thinking of this, an ache came from the broken bone in his left hand. He quickly cycled the battle qi in his body and used the Dragon Forged Bone Tome to increase the healing speed of his broken bone. Suffering through this pain, he did not make a sound, but his head was covered in a cold sweat. Wei Chou on the side could only grip his fist, but he could not help at all.

Their supper was very rich. It was a soup made with Spotted Stone Wolf meat, Golden Scaled Beast sliced heart, and some vegetables. They felt very satisfied eating this meal and because of it, many soldiers that had been injured found that they were healed the next day.

That night, Lin Mu Yu suffered through his pain all the way until ten in the morning. An itchy feeling came from the location where his left arm broke and under the mysterious effects of the muscle and bone connecting potion, his bones had already began to regrow. His left arm still could not use much strength and just hung to one side with a cold spear shaft as a splint. It was crude to the point that it was laughable.

It was a good thing that his bloodline had been tempered with the true dragon bloodline and his vitality was very strong, as well as being very resistant. It shouldn’t take very long for his bones to heal, taking at most three-five days.

After the sun rose, the wind and snow did not stop still.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Mu Yu mounted his horse and since his left hand couldn’t move, he could only grab onto the rein with his right hand. He slowly led everyone out of the bottle gourd valley while releasing his spiritual sense, scanning their surroundings. They smoothly went around the territory of a 7000 year old or higher Snow Bear. There were many spirit beasts in the Dragon Seeking Forest with many beings being over ten thousand years old. Lin Mu Yu did not dare to meet them, otherwise his group would not be able to escape alive.

When it was around noon, the Falcon Guards responsible for scouting out the front suddenly came back and said, “Sir, there’s a large pile of dung in front of us! It’s still steaming hot!”

“Is it human s.h.i.+t?” Wei Chou asked.

The Falcon Guard scout smiled, “That’s a good question Sir Wei Chou, but have you ever seen a person let out twenty pounds of s.h.i.+t at once?”

Wei Chou was stunned. Then he smiled and said, “Go, we’ll take a look!”
