Chapter 114: What Did You Smell?
Chapter 114: What Did You Smell?
[The 623rd year, you will bring this half of the Life and Death Zen Body to perfection, and you will faintly cross that threshold...]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 643 years]
Looking at the familiar description, Shen Yi turned off the panel.
Having personally tested its effects on the Vajra Sect's abbot, he didn't need this thing to give another vague introduction.
A flash of white and black light vanished from his skin.
He clenched his fist slightly to feel it, and it was indeed similar to his guess.
With the enhancement of the demon's innate talent and the Bodhimanda Vajra Body, his physical body had already surpassed the Jade Liquid Realm, and this half of the Life and Death Zen Body finally made up for the last gap.
Now, he only lacked the demon crystal to attempt to deduce the complete Essence Condensation Body Tempering Technique.
These tiger demons had probably each chosen their targets, and staying in the Deng Clan would not be very meaningful.
Shen Yi picked up the ceremonial saber and then stood up, walking towards the door.
In the hall.
The ink-robed youth had become the pillar of support, and his sudden movement caused the already anxious hearts of everyone to become more flustered, and the previous scene flashed before their eyes once again.
"Demon, come out! We've already seen you!"
Many of the Deng Clan warriors immediately looked towards the door, shouting loudly. Even Lin Rou started to doubt her judgment. She had been using the Aura Scanning Technique, clearly sensing no demonic energy, yet she was still tense, ready to take action.
Then, they saw Shen Yi walk into the rain and pull up the tiger demon's corpse.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Rou asked subconsciously.
"Going out for a stroll."
Shen Yi casually took a step forward, his figure gliding through the air and merging into the dark night sky.
In an instant, he disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Go out... for a stroll? In the hall, everyone in the Deng Clan, young and old, was left dumbfounded.
In the face of the previous scene, the sense of security they had barely obtained was instantly dispelled as Shen Yi left.
"Is Senior Lin not going to take care of us?"
Deng Mingxu struggled to suppress the trembling in his legs, trying to appear calm, but the anxiety in his voice was undeniable.
"There's no such thing as Senior Lin."
Lin Rou rolled her eyes, feeling irritable. She took out a small copper bell.
After seeing the copper bell, several of the more experienced warriors paused slightly, and then despair filled their eyes: "Demon hunters..."
After all, they were a well-known local family and had heard of the demon hunters' rumors.
In the eyes of these people, the lives of ordinary people were far less important than seeking out demons and eliminating evil. How could they possibly stay here just because of the ancestor's words, especially when they had no connection to the Deng Clan?
"Let me make this clear. If we encounter a demon we can't defeat, I won't be responsible for you."
Lin Rou sighed, feeling weary. She walked sluggishly to the main seat.
We haven't even collected the auras of a few tiger demons, and we can only guess their cultivation realms. They're really risking their lives just for some achievements.
Moreover, in this vast Yong'an City, finding two hidden tiger demons is not going to be easy.
"Not finding them might not be a bad thing; at least we won't lose our lives."
Lin Rou was quite self-aware. Even if Shen Yi couldn't compare to Senior Jiang and Xiao Qiangwei, what he was about to do was definitely not something she could get involved in or instruct.
...
Yong'an City.
The peace that had lasted for many years was so fragile that it could be shattered by just a few demons.
Shen Yi stood on a high roof, and he could see that the government office was brightly lit. Countless officials tightly gripped their useless steel blades, their faces devoid of blood as they patrolled the streets.
The silver bell at his waist kept ringing.
Dozens of demon hunters tirelessly exchanged information, desperately searching for traces and chasing after them, all for the chance to obtain a strand of the Mountain Lord's tiger cubs' auras.
The captain of the Demon Suppressing Bureau stationed here had deployed all his forces, eager to control the situation.
However, wails echoed from all directions, making it impossible to distinguish the sequence.
Almost every wail represented a famous martial artist from the Jianghu being devoured.
The entire city had become a hunting ground for demons to play with at will.
"..."
Shen Yi retracted his gaze, no longer paying attention to the chaotic information in the silver bell.
Now, he finally understood why the Demon Suppressing Bureau was so strict in controlling the Essence Condensation Technique.
Once one delved into this realm, not only would ordinary towns and counties be helpless, but even the relatively large Yong'an City would be unable to resist.
The demon that caused such chaos was likely already far beyond the level of these demon hunters, and it was not someone with less experience like him that could find it.
If nothing unexpected happened, the result this time should be the same as the last. The demon would feast to its heart's content and then leave.
"The Tiger King?"
Shen Yi slightly pursed his lips.
The next moment, the aura of a Jade Dew Realm perfection was released without any attempt to conceal it.
In that instant, he became the most alluring Human Essence Pill in all of Yong'an City! The sweet and mellow Jade Dew, derived from heaven and earth, was stored within his Qi Sea!
Without hesitation, the Sun Melting Cauldron, formed by countless dark red veins, slowly activated within his body.
The sinister aura of the Celestial Demon Outer Pill gradually spread, and under Shen Yi's control, a demonic energy slightly stronger than the Jade Dew Realm was exuded.
Holding the tiger, he turned and leaped out of the city.
Two completely different auras alternated, and only a full-powered attack would have such a momentum, which was blindingly dazzling in Yong'an City.
Shen Yi played the role of both the Human Body Medicine and the pursuing vicious demon.
At the same time, he activated the Turtle Breath Technique, gradually reducing the Jade Dew's aura, as if it were being greatly depleted during the escape.
"Since there's competition, and the number of experts in the city is limited..."
"Then the fattest prey must not be willing to fall into the hands of the brothers."
The ink-cloaked figure walked and stopped, rushed out of the city, and deliberately waited for a while before stepping into the hilltop.
He hung the tiger demon's head on a tree.
Shen Yi's Turtle Breath Technique, honed to perfection, was fully utilized, and although he stood in the same spot, his aura instantly vanished without a trace.
He leaped onto a tall tree, indifferently overlooking the scene below.
The night sky, like an ink wash painting, was torn by white lightning, illuminating the calm face of the youth, whose deep eyes showed no trace of impatience.
Casually holding the hilt of his blade, he looked like an old man holding a fishing rod.
"..."
The sound of the wind and rain was hurried.
But suddenly, it stopped.
Behind the giant tiger's corpse hanging on the tree, a claw slowly extended, and a robust figure emerged from the darkness, its back towering, muscles rippling like they were cast from fine iron.
Even with its hunched posture, its body was still an impressive six feet tall.
A light glowed in its vertical pupils as it stared at the nearby corpse, and instead of anger, a mocking smile appeared in its eyes: "You died well, you stupid fool who doesn't understand the rules."
Such a robust Human Essence Pill, and this waste that follows behind, scavenging for scraps, dares to covet it?
Just then, a broader arm gently rested on its shoulder, and a hoarse voice said, "Since it's so good, why not go with it?"
The two giant tiger heads stared at each other: "Hmph!"
Almost simultaneously, bloodstained fangs were bared, still somewhat unsteady, but the vast aura of the Condensation Core Realm clashed forcefully.
After a moment, the taller tiger demon sneered and looked up: "Are you planning to keep dragging your severely injured body, hiding in the tree, shivering, hoping that we'll kill each other, and then you'll escape like a dog?"
It released its brother and stared at the distant treetop, its expression carrying a hint of mockery: "Come out. I've already caught your scent."
Before it finished speaking, a slightly puzzled voice sounded behind the two tiger demons.
"Huh?"
Accompanying the voice was the excruciating pain of a blade piercing the back.
On the tall tiger demon's back, a black blade quietly sank into its solid muscles, which tightly clamped the black blade but couldn't stop the blood from being sucked in.
"Roar!"
In extreme pain, the tall tiger demon's fur stood on end, and it suddenly turned around, letting out a frenzied roar.
An ink-robed figure surged forward, and the handsome youth released the hilt of his blade, his palm, glowing with mysterious light, already fiercely slapping towards it!
