Chapter 113: Digesting While Eating
Chapter 113: Digesting While Eating
The heavens seemed to be setting the scene perfectly.
Just moments ago, the sky was pitch-black and quiet, but now, a light drizzle began to fall.
Deng Mingxu's mouth hung wide open, clearly startled. He then looked at the young man in the main seat and tremblingly asked the person beside him, "Miss Lin, what realm is your brother at?"
"I don't know!" Lin Rou stamped her feet in annoyance.
If her colleagues weren't willing to leave, how could she possibly leave? It just didn't feel right.
Although there were no strict rules for demon hunters, they all operated within the martial world and had a sense of honor.
"Jade Liquid Perfection."
Shen Yi calmly observed the situation. The Deng family didn't have many experts; there were only a dozen or so at the Jade Liquid Realm, but if a fight were to break out, they could still be of some use.
By disclosing information beforehand, they could at least have a better understanding of the situation.
Upon hearing this, Deng Mingxu's eyes widened, and his breathing became slightly rapid. Such a young Jade Liquid Perfection expert, and he was from a second-rate aristocratic family?
Even among the prestigious Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li families, it was unlikely that they could find someone like him.
He lowered his head in shame, "I... I'm at the Initial Stage of Jade Liquid Perfection."
Compared to the young master's shock, the group of Deng family experts who were clearly a generation older didn't seem very optimistic.
Even their ancestor had been taken away, and now, with this night's events, could those at the Jade Liquid Realm really get involved?
"No wonder he told me not to provoke him."
Lin Rou was surprised, and secretly criticized in her heart. A genius at this realm considered the Essence Condensation Technique more important than his own life; no wonder he was like this.
Ka-cha!
A clap of thunder illuminated over a hundred faces, each with a different expression.
The women and children huddled in the back, while the Deng family experts tightly gripped their weapons, their palms sweating.
Fortunately, there was no one outside the courtyard, but they still felt like startled birds.
At that moment, the young man in the main seat stood up. With a casual draw, a three-foot-long ceremonial saber silently slid out of its sheath.
Almost simultaneously, a massive tiger's head poked out from under the eaves.
Its fur, matted by the rain, shone with a brilliant golden hue. A pair of pale yellow vertical pupils scanned the room greedily.
A crimson, bristled tongue licked its rough claws, and saliva mixed with blood dripped from its mouth, blending with the rain.
"Pa-ta."
The instant the saliva hit the ground, a thick, pungent stench engulfed the entire hall.
The tiger's roar from its blood basin-like mouth inherently carried a power that made people's hearts tremble and their limbs go weak.
"Roar!"
Someone's weapon clattered to the ground, and amidst the tiger's roar, the crisp clanging sounded like a mournful wail.
Everyone's faces turned deathly pale. Under the awe-inspiring reputation of Deng Jianyuan, Yong'an City had not seen such brazen demons for many years. Not only had they entered the city, but they were also toying with the Deng family and others.
The tiger demon flipped over and landed, its muscles rippling. It hunched its body and took a step towards the hall, "It's your..."
Just as the words were about to leave its mouth, the figure standing before the main seat suddenly rushed out like a sharp bolt of lightning.
Long sleeves flapped in anger!
Shen Yi leaped through the air, his long fingers firmly gripping the tiger's skull. With immense force, he pushed the tiger's small mountain-like body into a backward arch.
The Sun Melting Cauldron opened wide, releasing the restrained demonic energy.
His right hand gripped the black ceremonial saber, enveloped in an eerie crimson glow, and slashed fiercely!
With the Greedy Wolf Evil Slaying technique, the blade easily sliced through the golden fur, exposing the throat beneath. Pungent blood spurted out.
The massive head was grabbed by Shen Yi, and the tiger demon's towering body staggered backward, slamming into the water puddle with a loud bang, splashing dirty water everywhere.
[Slain Jade Liquid Perfection Tiger Demon, total lifespan of 2,310 years, remaining lifespan of 792 years, absorption complete]
[Remaining demon lifespan: 1,266 years]
Shen Yi tossed the tiger's head aside, dug out the beast core from its belly, and then reached into the tiger demon's chest, extracting a strand of blood energy. He returned to the hall and sat back down in his chair.
(End of Chapter)……
As the ink-robed youth sheathed his long blade and placed it back on the table, he closed his eyes slightly, seemingly adjusting his breath.
The skilled Deng Family member, trembling, picked up his longsword from the ground, gripping the hilt tightly, but unsure of where to direct his attack.
The previous tiger's roar was like an iron grip on their throats, suffocating them to the extreme.
And when Shen Yi suddenly drew his blade, it was as if he had violently pulled the air from their lungs, leaving everyone in a daze.
"Jade Liquid Perfection?"
Lin Rou stared at the demonic energy she had just collected, which slowly dissipated from her fingertips, and a question mark appeared in her mind.
Her performance wasn't as poor as the Deng Family's; when the tiger demon first revealed itself, she had quickly assessed its strength, concluding that it was too powerful to fight against, but with good coordination, they should be able to defeat it.
Her bewilderment wasn't due to the tiger demon but to Shen Yi.
Countless strategies flooded her mind, only to be instantly slashed away by his black blade.
She stared blankly at the massive corpse outside the hall, soaked by the rain, and suddenly, the atmosphere became much quieter.
This person was clearly not a novice; he was someone they needed to cling to.
Looking at the youth's slightly furrowed brows, it seemed he wasn't nervous, as she had imagined, but rather...disappointed and somewhat dissatisfied.
……
Shen Yi pretended to be adjusting his breath with his eyes closed, but he had already summoned the system panel.
Looking at the remaining demonic lifespan, it would be difficult to even cultivate the Life and Death Chan Body to its fullest, let alone deduce the complete Essence Condensation Body Tempering Technique.
He realized he had fallen into a misconception.
From a human perspective, with the Deng Family's ancestor absent, their hearts were filled with fear, making it an opportune time to exterminate them and take their place.
But the enemy was a demon, unconcerned with status in the martial world, and this was a hunting competition.
They only cared about which Human Essence Pills had higher cultivation and more abundant accumulation.
The Deng Family's Condensation Core Realm ancestor had broken through due to a lucky encounter, and he wasn't the diligent type, possibly not as strict with his family.
These dozen or so Mid-stage Jade Dew cultivators might not be exceptional within Yong'an City, which explained why the attracted tiger demons were so weak.
Outside, the rain grew heavier, and the damp night wind, mixed with a bloody scent, rushed into the hall.
With the enemy in the dark and us in the light, we must not let our guard down.
After all, this involved a Condensation Core Realm demon, and any improvement was significant.
Shen Yi gradually formed a plan but suppressed his thoughts, infusing the demon's lifespan into the Life and Death Chan Body.
When it came to the Condensation Core Realm, even body tempering techniques required wisdom. Asking for Buddhist cultivation was truly not leaving any room for ordinary people.
[Year 1: You peruse this Buddhist body tempering technique, pondering how to extract the meaning of life and death from the world.]
[Year 3: You realize your progress is faster than expected. In doubt, you suddenly recall that when you were deducing the Wind and Thunder Demon Subduing True Explanation, you repeatedly used the Demon Subduing Yang Saber to consume your essence, blood, and qi, pushing yourself to a state of depletion.]
[Year 5: You had already crossed the threshold of life and death numerous times in your mortal body, so regaining that state was only a matter of time.]
[Year 12: The mystical white radiance appears on your fingertips, and you officially begin tempering your body with the meaning of life and death...]
Shen Yi opened his eyes, and a barely noticeable hint of surprise flashed in his pitch-black eyes.
The Initial Stage Wind and Thunder Demon Subduing True Explanation and half a volume of the Condensation Core Body Tempering Technique.
These two completely unrelated martial arts could surprisingly complement each other, an unexpected joy.
Unfortunately, without the assistance of a treasure pill or spirit plant related to the meaning of life and death, he could only rely on the demon's lifespan to forcefully cultivate.
