Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 219 - 221: Regrowth of a Severed Arm

The effect of the Heavy Beast’s Heart was simply too powerful. However, witnessing the current state of Anxi Demon Venerable, Mu Can felt a chill in his heart. Having lost all reason and acting purely on instinct like a wild beast, what was the point even with immense power?

"Blood, blood, I need blood!" Anxi yelled unconsciously,

"Let me liberate you," Mu Can said, looking at the pained expression on Anxi Demon Venerable’s face.

With the longsword in hand, Mu Can’s aura changed completely. He was no longer casual as before; he turned serious.

The swordsman, the supreme weapon. Mu Can’s Sword Dao was upright and honorable. The books on Sword Dao within the three layers of space in the Reincarnation Pearl were as vast as the sea. Mu Can, immersed in the Sword Dao for a whole century, had successfully created his own unique Sword Dao by drawing from numerous sources.

Clad in silver armor, with silver wings and a silver longsword, Mu Can now looked every bit the majestic Heavenly God. It was likely that if any low-level cultivators were present, they’d be overwhelmed by his powerful aura, unable to even stand properly, let alone the Demon Clan around him who barely managed to stay upright when facing Mu Can.

"How could such a powerful being exist in the Mortal World? This level of cultivation is almost comparable to the Demon Ancestor," Xi Mu Demon Venerable thought, severely injured and desperately recovering by absorbing the overwhelming Demonic Qi around him while unnoticed.

Clang!

Mu Can parried Anxi Demon Venerable’s beast-transformed right arm with his sword, the longsword trembling slightly yet holding incredibly steady in his hands, solid as a mountain.

Anxi Demon Venerable then recklessly charged forward, his mutated beast claw lashed out again towards Mu Can with overwhelming momentum.

"Well met."

A beast is still a beast; no matter how strong, it can be suppressed by someone with intelligence.

Mu Can blocked Anxi’s spectral claw with another sword strike, swiftly retracting and thrusting his sword anew.

"To wipe out all the injustices in the world."

The first move of Mu Can’s learned Sword Dao.

As this sword slashed downward, a golden light radiated from the blade, and Anxi Demon Venerable felt as if an ethereal mountain had formed above him, pressing down with earth-shaking force.

Anxi Demon Venerable resisted frantically, trying to escape the range of the sword strike, but found it impossible to dodge, forced to withstand the strike within its reach.

If Anxi Demon Venerable were in his right mind, he would have tried everything possible to escape Mu Can’s attack. Sadly, Anxi Demon Venerable was now a beast acting purely on its instinctual need to kill.

This sword, first comprehended by Mu Can in his hundred years within the Reincarnation Pearl, dominated with its formidable aura and strength.

The poor Anxi Demon Venerable could only watch helplessly as the sword slowly chopped down.

Swoosh!

The sword, swift as lightning, cleanly severed Anxi Demon Venerable’s left arm. This was after Anxi, sensing the impending danger instinctively at the last moment, shifted his body. Otherwise, his head would have been cleaved off.

"How can this be? How can he be so strong?" Liu Yun Demon Venerable’s eyes widened in disbelief as he saw Anxi Venerable, whose left arm had been severed.

Such was the might of a single sword strike.

With one stroke, the battle situation changed drastically.

Anxi Demon Venerable, who could initially defend against Mu Can, became utterly defenseless once Mu Can wielded his sword.

"Lord Demon Venerable!" The surrounding Demon Clan soldiers also widened their eyes.

What exactly happened? Why was the man, who appeared to them like a War God, now helplessly cut down by a single sword strike?

Mu Can looked at Anxi Demon Venerable’s cleanly severed left arm, the wound writhing without a single drop of blood flowing out, as red vapor swirled wildly around the severed limb.

The Heart of the Fierce Beast was so bizarre that it transformed a Demon Lord into the current Demon King.

"Wang! Blood Qi envelops the body, this is indeed the heart of the Fierce Beast King. Such a fine item, truly remarkable."

Wang Cai was almost drooling, and Mu Can could even feel the shiny black dog in his mind wagging its tail frantically at this moment.

"Fierce Beasts are social creatures, and the Fierce Beast King is the leader of the pack. Its strength far surpasses ordinary Fierce Beasts and is a material for refining top-grade Vitality Pills. It’s extremely rare even in the Supreme Interface. I didn’t expect to encounter it here."

Whenever Wang Cai had a chance to showcase his extensive knowledge in front of Mu Can, he would adopt this commanding demeanor.

Every time, it made Mu Can’s teeth itch with irritation; this dog was just too obnoxious. What was most infuriating was once when Wang Cai said something that almost made Mu Can lose his temper.

"Wang Cai could be a teacher for all under heaven."

After saying this, Mu Can ignored him for an entire day.

This damn dog, really seemed too deserving of a beating, always so arrogant due to once following the Heavenly Dao thief and acting all pompous.

"Are the Fierce Beast Kings that rare?"

Mu Can had already made up his mind that once he could control the Reincarnation Pearl, he must properly discipline this boastful dead dog.

"Wang! You’re simply ignorant. Why don’t you learn from Master Wang Cai? If it weren’t for me, cultivators within a ten-meter radius of this Fierce Beast King would get lost in a killing frenzy."

Mu Can felt depressed again, looked down upon by this dog.

Red blood threads circled around the broken arm, and Anxi Demon Venerable’s left arm was regenerating at a visibly fast rate. In a moment, it was as good as new, only the skin tone was lighter than before.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Xi Mu Demon Venerable looked at Anxi’s broken arm, shocked; for the first time, he felt his own insignificance. He had thought that even in the Demon World, his strength was among the upper tier, but now, he found himself somewhat unable to understand this world.

"I refuse to believe you can regenerate indefinitely." Mu Can watched the restored Anxi Demon Venerable charge madly towards him again, his anger flaring up.

"Sword Qi surges."

Streams of Sword Qi burst out from the longsword in Mu Can’s hands, dense like raindrops, as thick as arms, and slammed fiercely into Anxi Demon Venerable who was charging at him.

Shoo!

The Sword Qi passed through the body, yet failed to leave a mark on Anxi.

"How could this be?"

Watching that dense Sword Qi, Liu Yun Demon Venerable’s heart was trembling. This was the first time he felt fear in his many years as a Demon Venerable.

The tangible Sword Qi seemed as if it could pierce the heavens, but it was all thunder and no rain, having no effect on Anxi.

"Hehe, explode." Mu Can chuckled softly and commanded.

Boom!

A loud explosion followed, and sounds like popping beans came from Anxi’s body, threads of fine Sword Qi burst forth, drilling out from Anxi’s body.

The previous Sword Qi had passed through without harm but left its energy inside Anxi’s body, now exploding out, Anxi fell instantly, covered with wounds, a sight too gruesome to bear.
