The most shameless alchemist in history

"Should an organization like Purgatory really exist in this world?" Dure asked, swaying unsteadily.

"What did you say? Dure? Are you really okay?" Renault felt that Dure was very different from before, which made him very worried.

After all, he and Du Lei were close comrades-in-arms who had gone through life and death battles together, and he didn't want to see anything happen to Du Lei.

"It's nothing, let's leave here first." Du Lei shook his head and walked forward, intending to leave the prison first.

“Alright, let’s go back first. Staying in this place for too long makes me feel very depressed.” Renault didn’t press the matter. He immediately left the prison with Dure. On their way out of the prison, a group of prison guards passed by them.

"Sir." The jailer saluted Reno respectfully.

"What are you doing here?" Renault asked, frowning.

"Sir, we're here to deliver food to the prisoners," the jailer replied respectfully.

"I see. You must thoroughly check the food when you deliver it to prevent anyone from poisoning it and killing a wanted criminal. Do you understand?" Renault thought for a moment and then added a word of advice.

"Understood, sir. We will definitely check carefully and will not give the enemy any chance!" the jailer said solemnly.

"Very good, that's the spirit we need. Now you can get back to work." Renault patted him on the shoulder, offered a word of encouragement, and then left the prison with Dure.

As they turned to leave, Dure turned back and saw the jailer frown. Of course, Dure quickly shook his head and left.

After Dure and Reno left the prison, the guard responsible for delivering food continued forward to the end of the prison.

There were four prison guards responsible for delivering meals. The first guard opened the cell door, the second and third guards went inside to deliver the meals to the prisoners, and the last guard stood guard outside the cell door.

Everything was proceeding as usual, but just as they were preparing to deliver food to the prisoners, a jailer standing guard outside suddenly killed the jailer who opened the door.

His movements were clean and swift, without making a single extra sound, which meant that the two prison guards who were delivering the food were completely unaware that their companion had been murdered.

By the time they came to their senses, another dagger had pierced through their chests and abdomens.

The two of them let out a soft groan and collapsed to the ground, unable to breathe any longer.

The last remaining jailer stood before Jin Shan, who was bound by chains from head to toe.

"You've arrived?" Jin Shan seemed completely unsurprised by this person's appearance.

"Did you know I was coming?" The voice that spoke was that of a gentle man.

“Of course I know. Shouldn’t losers be punished accordingly? I’ve been the one to punish them before. Do you think I’m surprised?” Jin Shan said with a smile.

"I can see you're prepared to face death," the man said softly.

"Red Flash, did you take care of my poor sister?" Gold Flash sighed and said leisurely.

"It should be about the same. Someone else was carrying out the mission; I was only responsible for taking care of you," the man continued.

“That idiot Red Flash shouldn’t have joined. It’s all because of me that she stumbled into this organization and gradually became what she is now. If I had a choice, I would rather she had never joined Purgatory,” Gold Flash said with a soft sigh.

"It seems you care quite a bit about your sister," the man said with interest.

"Do you care? I don't think so." Jin Shan shook his head.

"But no matter what, you two will see each other again soon, which is a good thing," the man said with some sympathy.

"Yes, it's truly a good thing to finally be free from the endless curse of purgatory," Jin Shan said with emotion.

"It's a pity you won't live to see the day the world reaches its end," the man said regretfully.

"Or perhaps it will be the day Purgatory is destroyed." Jin Shan suddenly smiled.

"The destruction of Purgatory? That shouldn't be happening, right?"

“Before meeting that person, I also thought like you that Purgatory could not be destroyed, but after meeting that person, I changed my mind,” Jin Shan said with a smile.

"That person? Which person?" The man frowned.

"Want to know? I'm not going to tell you," Jin Shan said sarcastically.

"You should know that I have plenty of ways to get you to talk." The man looked at Jin Shan with a hint of pity.

"Really? What do you think will happen after this?" Jin Shan's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"You...you actually destroyed your own crystal core?" The man was taken aback.

“Since he’s already close to death, what’s the point of keeping him alive?” Jin Shan said with a sneer.

"You really made a pathetic choice." The man shook his head and turned to leave, because there was no longer any need to continue working. After destroying the crystal core, Golden Flash was not far from death.

"I will wait for your destruction, until the destruction of the entire Purgatory!"

After Jin Shan let out that loud laugh, her body quickly turned into a raging fire and burned rapidly.

Soon, the prison guards noticed the commotion and rushed over to put out the fire, plunging the entire prison into chaos.

At this moment, Dure and Reno had just left the prison and were discussing some matters concerning the Land of Lightning.

But just then, Dure suddenly saw flames shooting into the sky above the secret prison they had just left, the raging fire engulfing the entire prison.

"What happened? How did it catch fire?" Renault was taken aback.

"It looks like it was the people from Purgatory who did it." Dure didn't seem surprised by the fire.

After Jin Shan told him those things, he knew that this fire was bound to come.

I just didn't expect it to come so early.

"Then let's hurry and put out the fire!" Renault was very anxious about this and made a move to go back and put out the fire.

“No need, Renault. We’re going somewhere else now, and we need to hurry,” Dure said, stopping him.

"Another place? Dure, what do you mean?" Renault was completely bewildered.

“Go to Red Flash!” Dure said, stating the destination.

When he had a private meeting with Jinshan in solitary confinement, Jinshan made a condition that he tell him everything.

That was to ensure the safety of her sister, Red Flash. She knew she was doomed this time, and Purgatory would definitely send people to kill her and her sister, Red Flash.

She was determined to die, and given her physical condition, there was absolutely no possibility of recovery.

However, Red Flash was less injured, and since he wasn't in too deep of the inferno, there was still a chance of him being saved.

Although Du Lei had some objections, he agreed to Jin Shan's request at Jin Shan's insistence, and thus hurriedly left the prison.

Even though he knew that the people from Purgatory would pass him by, he suppressed the urge to clash with them and instead fulfilled his promise to Gold Flash, daring to go to Red Flash's side to save her poor sister.

At the same time, in another secret prison in Flash City, a large number of prison guards lay dead in pools of blood.

A girl wearing a long black dress and with cherry blossom-colored hair, holding a slender long knife, slowly walked towards the depths of the prison.

After a dozen guards noticed the intrusion, they rushed over and surrounded her.

These guards were all handpicked; they were all magic users and tall, completely outmatched by the thin, frail girl in front of them.

Under normal circumstances, any one of the guards could probably knock the girl down with a single punch, but even with more than a dozen guards attacking at the same time, the girl only managed to land one slash.

Amidst a dazzling onslaught of cherry blossoms, more than a dozen guards fell to the ground simultaneously, their blood splattering like vibrant cherry blossoms blooming on the wall.

“So my target is over here…” She had a very clean face, which made her look nothing like an assassin.

She remained calm and slowly made her way deeper into the prison, searching for her target.

She eventually stopped at the end of the prison, where it was deserted and quiet.

The long, blood-stained knife she held in her hand still dripped blood onto the ground, sounding like the patter of water.

It was so quiet around her that she could hear her own footsteps. In the distance, a brazier was burning brightly, which at least provided a moment of light in the darkness.

She glanced around and finally locked onto a cell, which was where her target was.

She walked over and saw that the cell door was locked, but that didn't stop her.

She simply cleaved open the prison door with a light slash of her knife and easily entered.

In this solitary cell, a person was heavily chained, her breath was weak, and she looked terrible.

"Finally found you, Red Flash." The girl and Red Flash seemed to know each other, as she called out Red Flash's name.

"Speaking of which, we're still friends, right? As a friend, I shouldn't have killed you. But you know you failed your mission, and we only have one fate for losers: execution. So don't blame me. Blame yourself for your incompetence in failing in a place like this," the girl said with some sympathy.

"By the way, you don't need to be too sad, because you're not the only loser. Your sister, who is also a loser, will face the same fate as you," the girl added.

"If it were just you who failed, I could understand, since you weren't exactly a strong character to begin with. But it's really strange that your sister, Jin Shan, also failed. Jin Shan has always been my idol, and I don't know what happened this time that she actually stumbled in the Land of Lightning." The girl felt somewhat bewildered and regretful.

"Anyway, with your older sister by your side, you won't be too lonely, right? I'm actually a little envious of you. Well then, Red Flash, let's bring our friendship to a perfect close here." The girl brandished her slender longsword, poised to slash at Red Flash.

However, at the same time, right in front of her, Red Flash, who should have been heavily bound by chains and on the verge of death, suddenly released astonishing magical power.

He suddenly charged towards the girl and slashed at her with a fierce blow.

This was far beyond the girl's expectations. She was unable to block it, but thanks to her rich combat experience, she quickly adjusted her balance and held the long sword horizontally in front of her to block the attack.

The long sword in her hand hummed and trembled, which was enough to show the ferocity of her opponent's attack.

"You're not Red Flash, who are you?" The girl quickly realized that the one attacking her was not Red Flash, but a man.

"You're Sakura, right?" the man said, uttering the girl's name.

"Huh? How do you know my name? Who are you?" The girl named Sakura was taken aback.

"Where did Red Flash go?" She looked around but didn't see any sign of Red Flash nearby.

This made her feel uneasy, as if she had fallen into a trap.

"Hehe, you should think about your own situation first!" Soon someone followed behind her.

Or to be more precise, a large number of people blocked the prison exit, preventing her from escaping. The leader was a young man with a small tuft of blond hair, who was wielding an iron bar with crackling lightning on its surface. This was none other than Renault.

"You guys actually dared to conspire to set a trap to deceive me, that's just too much!" Sakura said angrily.

"How can you blame us for deceiving you? You were just too stupid to fall for such an obvious trap. But speaking of which, Dure, are we sure we didn't make a mistake? This little girl looks like a cute girl no matter how you look at her. She's also very pretty and has a lovely personality. Could someone like that really be a member of Purgatory?" Renault asked Dure beside him in surprise.

941 will cooperate with you.

"Cute? Have you forgotten what Gold Flash and Red Flash look like after they transform? Do you still think they're cute?" Dure reminded him.

"This...is still...quite terrifying, isn't it?" Renault immediately thought of Red Flash turning into a spider with a human face and Gold Flash turning into a nine-headed serpent. Their ferocious and terrifying appearance still made him feel lingering fear.

He simply couldn't reconcile the lovely girl before him with those terrifying monsters.

"Don't think you're strong just because you have more people. I won't give in to you!" Sakura looked warily at her nearby opponents.
