Chapter 114: What Do You Smell?
Chapter 114: What Do You Smell?
[Year 623, you have perfected this half of the Life and Death Zen Body, and you have vaguely crossed that threshold...]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 643 years]
Seeing the familiar description, Shen Yi closed the panel.
He had already personally tested the effect on the abbot of the Vajra Gate and didn't need this thing to give him another vague introduction.
The flowing light of deep gray and white flashed on his skin.
He clenched his fist slightly to feel it, and it was indeed as he had guessed.
With the blessing of the Demon Talent and the Bodhi Vajra Body, his physical body had already surpassed the scope of the Jade Liquid Realm, and this half volume of Life and Death Zen Body had finally made up for the last gap.
Now, all he lacked was the Demon Treasure Crystal, and he could try to deduce the complete Condensing Pill and Tempering Body Technique.
These tiger demons had probably already chosen their targets, and there was little point in staying any longer in the Deng family.
Shen Yi picked up the ritual dagger and stood up, heading for the door.
In the main hall.
The youth in the ink-colored shirt had become the main pillar of support, and his sudden movement once again disturbed the already anxious minds of everyone, bringing the previous scene back to their eyes.
"Demon, get out! We've already seen you!"
Many of the Deng family's martial artists immediately looked towards the door, shouting loudly. Even Lin Rou began to doubt her judgment as she continued to use her spirit-sensing technique, clearly not sensing any demonic energy, yet her whole body was tense and ready to take action.
Then they saw Shen Yi walking into the rain and reaching out to pull up the corpse of the tiger demon.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Rou asked subconsciously.
"Going out for a stroll."
Shen Yi casually took a step and his figure glided across the sky, blending into the dark night.
In an instant, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Going out... for a stroll?
In the main hall, the Deng family, young and old, as well as the group of martial artists, were all left stunned.
The sense of security that had been gained with difficulty in the previous scene instantly vanished with Shen Yi's departure.
"Is Lin Big Brother not going to care about us anymore?"
Deng Mingxu struggled to suppress the trembling of his legs, trying to put on a calm appearance, but the panic in his voice could not be hidden.
"There's no such thing as Lin Big Brother in the first place."
Lin Rou rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed. She took out a small copper bell and held it up.
When they saw the copper bell, several of the more experienced martial artists paused slightly, and then despair appeared in their eyes. "Demon catcher..."
After all, they were a fairly well-known family in the area, so how could they not have heard of the demon catcher's rumors?
In the eyes of these people, the lives of ordinary people were far less important than finding and subduing demons, and the other party had no relation to the Deng family, so why would they stay here because of a word from the old ancestor?
"Let's make this clear. If we encounter a demon that we can't beat, I won't be able to help you."
Lin Rou sighed and walked listlessly to the main seat.
They hadn't collected the qi of several tiger demons, and they could only guess at their realm, so it was truly reckless to risk their lives for some achievement.
Moreover, in this huge Yong'an City, it was not easy to find two tiger demons hiding in the shadows.
"Not being able to find 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 was not as good as Jiang Lao Da and Xiao Qiangwei, what he was doing was not something she could get involved in or instruct him on.
...
Yong'an City.
The peace that had lasted for many years was fragile, easily shattered by a few demon beasts.
Shen Yi stood on a high roof, seeing the yamen lit up, countless runners holding useless steel knives, their faces devoid of blood as they patrolled the streets.
The silver bell at his waist kept ringing.
Dozens of demon catchers relentlessly exchanged information, searching for traces of the tiger cubs of the Mountain King to obtain a trace of their qi.
The school captains of the Demon Subduing Division, who were in charge of this place, poured out, eager to control the situation.
However, wails sounded from all directions, making it impossible to distinguish which came first.
Almost every wail represented a famous martial artist being devoured.
The entire city had turned into a hunting ground for demons to play in.
"...'
Shen Yi retracted his gaze, no longer paying attention to the chaotic information in the silver bell.
The demon beasts that could cause such chaos were most likely at a realm far superior to these demon catchers, and they were not something that Shen Yi, with his limited experience, could handle.
If nothing unexpected happened, the outcome of this incident would probably be the same as the last time—the opponent would feast to their heart's content and then leave.
"Choose the Ferocious King?"
Shen Yi pursed his lips slightly.
The next moment, the aura of a perfect Jade Liquid Realm cultivator was deliberately released without any concealment.
In this instant, he became the most alluring human elixir in all of Yong'an City! The sweet and mellow jade dew, derived from the heavens and earth, was stored within his dantian.
Without hesitation, he slowly activated the Molten Sun Treasure Furnace, a network of countless dark red veins within his body.
The sinister aura of the Heavenly Demon External Elixir gradually spread, and under Shen Yi's control, it exuded a demonic aura slightly above the Jade Liquid Realm.
Holding the tiger demon's corpse, he turned and glided towards the outskirts of the city.
The alternation of these two distinct auras created an overwhelming presence, indicating that he was going all out. Such a display was extremely eye-catching in Yong'an City.
Shen Yi played the role of both a human elixir and a vicious demon chasing after it.
At the same time, he circulated the Turtle Breath Technique to gradually diminish the jade dew's aura, as if he were greatly exhausted from the escape.
"Since there is competition, and the number of experts in the city is limited..."
"...the most delicious prey will surely not be allowed to fall into the hands of their brothers."
The ink-colored figure walked and stopped, leaving the city, deliberately waiting a while longer, before finally stepping into the mountain range.
He hung the tiger demon's corpse on a tree.
Shen Yi's perfected Turtle Breath Technique was unleashed to its fullest extent, and even as he stood in place, his aura vanished without a trace.
He leaped onto a tall tree, his gaze indifferent as he looked down.
The water and ink night sky was torn apart by white lightning, illuminating the calm face of the young man. There was no trace of impatience in his deep eyes.
Casually holding the knife handle, he resembled an old man fishing with his rod.
"... "
The wind and rain howled in haste.
And then, suddenly, it stopped.
Behind the giant tree with the tiger's corpse hanging from it, a claw slowly reached out, and a formidable, robust figure emerged from the darkness. Its spine was high, and its muscular lines were like cast iron.
Even hunched over, its entire body was still about fifteen feet tall.
The light in its vertical pupils gleamed as it stared at the nearby corpse, its eyes devoid of anger, but instead filled with mocking ridicule, "What a good death for a fool who doesn't understand the rules."
Such a rich human elixir was something that this waste, who followed behind to scavenge for leftovers, could covet.
Just then, a wider arm gently rested on the tiger demon's shoulder, and a hoarse voice said, "Since it's so good, why don't you go and join it?"
The two huge tiger heads glanced at each other: "Hmph!"
Almost simultaneously, they bared their bloodstained fangs, and although they were still a bit unstable, the vast aura that clearly belonged to the Pill Condensation Realm violently clashed.
Soon after, the taller tiger demon sneered and raised his head, "Are you planning to continue dragging your heavily wounded body, hiding in the tree, shivering in fear, and hoping that we'll mutually destroy each other, so you can escape like a dog?"
It released its brother and stared at the distant treetops, its expression carrying a hint of mockery, "Come out, I've already smelled your scent."
Before it finished speaking, a confused voice sounded from behind the two tiger demons.
"Ah?"
Accompanying the voice was the piercing pain of a blade stabbing into the back.
On the tall back of the tiger demon, a black blade quietly sank into its flesh. Its solid muscles clamped down on the dark blade, but it couldn't stop its blood from being devoured.
"Roar!"
In extreme pain, the tall tiger demon's fur stood on end, and it abruptly turned its head, letting out a frenzied roar!
The ink-colored robe billowed as the handsome young man released the knife handle, and his hand, glowing with profound light, slapped forward fiercely!
