I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head



Surround and kill a Core?

Even Chu Yunfan was shocked by this topic.

It wasn't that he didn't think that Cores could be killed, but he knew very well how difficult it was to deal with them.

Back then, the entire Federation had gone all out to kill that God who had just entered the Core Stage. Even the president had planned to sacrifice himself to kill that god of death but had failed in the end. If it weren't for Chu Yunfan's pills, the president would have died.

One could imagine how amazing a Core was.

For a half-step Core, although it was only half a step away, it was like a natural chasm. Of course, if one didn't consider Chu Yunfan's abnormal situation, it was impossible to succeed.

Chu Yunfan glanced at Chu Yaowei and said, "Marquis, are you pulling my leg? I can tell you that there's no chance of winning even if you surround them with half-step Cores!"

Chu Yunfan shook his head and continued, "You don't understand how terrifying a Core is. It's a completely different concept from a half-step Core. Secondly, I'm not boasting here, but you won't find another person like me in the entire Great Wei Kingdom, and even with my strength, I can barely protect myself in front of a Core. 

"You can find any number of half-step Cores and they will all die."

Before Chu Yaowei could say anything, Wang Zhenxi, who was behind him, had a complete change in his expression. Although the marquis also cultivated, he spent most of his energy on government affairs. But Wang Zhenxi was different. He was a martial arts fanatic. Because of this, he understood how terrifying the information that Chu Yunfan inadvertently revealed was.

Half-step Cores were certainly no match for Cores. He and Chu Yunfan had the same opinion on this point. No matter how many of them came, it would not make any difference to Cores.

It was just like how ordinary peak Divines could not withstand a single blow from half-step Cores, Cores could easily defeat eight or ten of them without any difference.

Moreover, half-step Cores were already overlords in the Great Wei Kingdom. These people were high and mighty and could have anything they wanted. It would be a great price to hire even one of them.

If they had to invite so many of them, the price was unimaginable. And even if they did, it would most likely be useless.

However, what surprised Wang Zhenxi the most wasn't this, but what Chu Yunfan said. Chu Yunfan said he could protect himself in front of a Core.

His pupils contracted slightly. One should know that his master was also a half-step Core. However, if his master were to face a Core, he would definitely not be a match for him. Therefore, he instinctively refused to believe it.

However, he immediately recalled the shocking scene he had seen today. If his master was to face off against any which one of the Emissaries, he could only protect himself. However, those people were like dolls in Chu Yunfan's hands and were easily defeated. From this, one could imagine how amazing Chu Yunfan's strength was.

Wang Zhenxi didn't believe that others could protect themselves if facing a Core, but he believed Chu Yunfan's words. However, there was no way to verify this.

Hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Chu Yaowei's face darkened and he began to grit his teeth. "Is it really impossible?"

Chu Yunfan said, "Marquis, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I'd like to ask, why would you have such thoughts? As far as I know, Cores are terrifying. To those at the Divine Abilities Stage, they're like living gods. Even if they had such thoughts, it would be very dangerous to surround and kill a Core."

Chu Yunfan truly understood the terror of a Core. Back then, a Core had almost destroyed the Federation all by himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, Chu Yunfan wouldn't have agreed to such a reckless move.

What a joke! Even if there were ten half-step Cores, they would be killed in an instant.

If Chu Yunfan was at his peak, he would have such an ability. Half-step Cores only possessed some of the power of the Core Stage. However, there was a huge difference in nature before the transformation was completed.

Even if it was the entire Great Wei Kingdom and the power of the Imperial Court, if they wanted to kill a Core, they would have to do their best and calculate every possible scenario. If this Core escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"All right, since it's already come to this, and you're not an outsider, I won't hide it from you." Chu Yaowei said after some thought, "Before this selection, I actually had two sons. You know this, right?"

"I do." Chu Yunfan nodded.

Chu Yaowei was not without children. In fact, his sons were not as simple as one or two. After all, Chu Yaowei had a lot of wives and concubines and they had given him many children.

"But they're all dead. Dead!" Chu Yaowei gritted his teeth. His eyes were red as if he had thought of something that made him gnash his teeth.

Chu Yunfan vaguely knew what Chu Yaowei was going to say.

"Was it done by a Core?" Chu Yunfan probed.

"That's right. It was done by a Core!" Chu Yaowei's face revealed a sorrowful expression.

"This matter started with my grandfather. Back then, he was ordered by the emperor to exterminate a rebellious sect in the Great Wei Kingdom. Who knew the plan would go awry and the sect master would escape? Since then, he has become the nightmare of our entire clan," Chu Yaowei said, "After that sect master escaped, he fled to the outer realms. No one expected him to be so lucky. In a short period, he had many fortuitous encounters and his cultivation increased greatly. In just a few decades, he stepped into the half-step Core Stage."

Chu Yunfan immediately understood and said, "So, he came back for revenge?"

"That's right. My grandfather had already passed away many years ago. After his strength broke through, he was just like the Emissaries today. He attacked the residence. At that time, my father, the old Marquis Zhongxin, fought till the end of his life. With his death, he finally delayed and stopped the sect master. The other experts in the city rushed over and scared the sect master away.

"But that had caused my father to suffer a great loss. After that, he lay on his sickbed and was never able to get up until his death.

"However, this is only the beginning of our clan's nightmare."
