Chapter 125: Toad Returns to the Cold Pond
Chapter 125: Toad Returns to the Cold Pond
As the conversation went on, the leper suddenly spat out a stream of ink-green poison that shot out like an arrow, piercing through the raging Essence Aura.
It grazed Xiao Qiangwei's wrist, leaving a terrifying burn on her fair skin. The green liquid corroded her flesh at an alarming rate, and within breaths, one could almost see her white bones.
Such a potent poison had struck her.
Xiao Qiangwei's expression remained unchanged, only a slight twitch at the corner of her eye, and her palm's strength intensified by threefold. Seizing the opportunity as Shen Yi suppressed the opponent, she forcefully slashed towards the leper's Sun Point with a heavy palm strike.
The Toad Demon Lord, in an attempt to drive the woman back with its poison arrow, found that she was willing to trade injury for her life. It tried to pull out the long knife on its neck to escape, but to its surprise, the seemingly frail youth's body contained a power that even it, a Demon Lord, found astonishing.
Crack!
The Demon Lord endured the palm strike, and in an instant, fine cracks spread across its entire skull, like a spider web.
Under the mighty palm force, its body flew sideways, and before it could land, Shen Yi had already struck again with his knife. In the blink of an eye, dozens of slashes fell, all aimed at vital points!
The Toad Demon Lord let out splat sounds as its flesh tore open, turning into an ink-green bloodied figure, a pitiful sight.
Shen Yi's blade was coated with ferocious demonic energy, and with each strike, a portion of it remained embedded in the Demon Lord, viciously tearing at its resilient demon body.
At the same time, Xiao Qiangwei manipulated her breath to temporarily slow the deterioration of her wrist wound. She then stepped forward, blocking the Demon Lord's retreat, and from below, she unleashed another palm strike.
The overwhelming Essence Aura was forcefully condensed in her palm, determined to break its bones and shatter its body.
Both were warriors who had slain countless demons, and despite this being their first time working together, their coordination was seamless, leaving no chance for the demon to catch its breath.
In this critical moment, the Toad Demon Lord suddenly extended its arm, transforming into a nearly ten-zhang-long giant toad leg at a visible speed, and swept towards the youth. Simultaneously, its hind legs also underwent a change, slightly shorter than its forelegs but still seven or eight zhang long. The robust and round hind legs fiercely kicked towards Xiao Qiangwei!
Shen Yi stepped on the itchy toad leg, and with a vicious slash of his knife, he cut through the Toad Demon's fingers as if chopping firewood, until the blade was completely embedded in its flesh.
The Toad Demon Lord howled in pain.
Its hind legs kicked with full force, striking the woman below!
"..."
Xiao Qiangwei, already injured, faced a toad leg larger than her entire body. She smashed her palms, and the condensed Essence Aura passed through her body, leaving a terrifying hole in the toad's foot!
She was kicked away, and as she stabilized her body, a massive creature, over twenty zhang tall, appeared before her.
"Gulu."
A long, low croak reverberated through the surroundings.
The enormous toad lay on the ground, its mouth closed, staring intently forward. Its body was not smooth but rough like tree bark, covered in hollow cavities.
At this moment, green liquid shot out from these cavities, like a rain of arrows.
Amidst the arrow rain, the ink-robed figure dodged and weaved, even sheathing his knife, only to unleash a fist strike when the opportunity arose.
The towering toad, under the force of those fists, was struck with such force that it staggered and retreated, causing the entire ground to tremble!
Qingzhou had not seen a Body Tempering warrior comparable to the Condensation Core Realm in many years.
Witnessing this direct display of power, Xiao Qiangwei felt overwhelmed, unable to intervene. To engage in close combat with a demon's physical body, without relying on Inner Core energy, was indeed an exaggeration.
She lowered her gaze to her wrist, recalling how she had seized the opportunity to inflict a severe blow on the Toad Demon Lord without dodging the poison stream.
With all his might, he unleashed two consecutive attacks.
At this moment, the skin and flesh on his entire arm had turned into green water, and he had to mobilize most of his aura to maintain it.
Xiao Qiangwei clenched her teeth, enduring the pain. Under the tremendous force of the toad's leg, the hidden injury inflicted by the Mountain Lord earlier finally resurfaced, causing her lips to bleed slightly.
The strength of Shen Yi far exceeded her imagination, and she didn't hesitate. Seizing that opportunity... but to intercept and kill such a massive demon within a distance of less than a hundred zhang was an extremely challenging task.
Even the Demon Suppressing General couldn't accomplish this, let alone the two of them.
Indeed, the Toad Demon Lord merely vented his anger by shooting countless poison arrows. After taking a punch from Shen Yi, the already cracked, massive head showed deeper fractures. The towering body leaned back, but the hind legs had already gathered enough strength.
The Toad Demon Lord spoke human language, "You two are serious? I won't play along!"
Perhaps the comfortable life in recent years had made it forget the ruthlessness of the Great Qian Dynasty's hounds. At this moment, it realized the severity of the situation and was not willing to stay any longer.
With a powerful leap, the hind legs propelled the entire body high into the air, easily clearing the hundred-zhang distance. It plunged into the Blackstone Pool with a loud splash, creating a massive wave.
"..."
Shen Yi suddenly landed, his breathing slightly rapid.
Indeed, the sturdiness of this demon, who had lived for over four thousand years, was even more resilient than the Dragon Lord of Qingfeng Mountain.
This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent.
"To make a Core Formation Realm demon flee in such a manner is something to be proud of anywhere."
Xiao Qiangwei stared at the cold and gloomy pool, wiping away the blood from her lips. She didn't feel disappointed, as it was just a casual attempt, and she hadn't held much hope to begin with," Xiao Qiangwei thought.
Even if Jiang Chengyun were here, the outcome would have been the same.
Near the Demon Suppressing Bureau's camp, numerous captains and assistant generals were still in shock from witnessing Shen Yi's fierce beating of the Toad Demon Lord. This formidable and terrifying demon, which instilled fear in people's hearts, had escaped without even uttering a threatening word.
As for Liu Bin, the moment the Toad Demon Lord entered the water, the hope in his eyes vanished.
The demon had escaped, and he was now doomed.
This beast hadn't even managed to injure that young boy!
"Hmm?"
In his moment of despair, a hint of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.
Shen Yi slowly walked towards the cold pool of unknown depth, glancing downwards.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Qiangwei asked, puzzled by his actions.
"Thank you."
Shen Yi nodded slightly.
After the Second Transformation of Immortal-Demon, his strength had increased rapidly. However, even with the assistance of some outer pills, facing a Core Formation Realm demon... especially a toad demon stronger than the Dragon Lord of Qingfeng Mountain, was still not entirely safe.
With the help of the Silver Bell Exorcist, severely injuring the Toad Demon Lord had indeed increased his chances.
Thinking of this, a surge of warmth filled Shen Yi's heart.
Without hesitation, his tall figure stepped into the Blackstone Pool, so cold that others dared not approach.
In an instant, everyone near the Blackstone Pool froze in their tracks.
Xiao Qiangwei's eyes widened. Even when facing the Mountain Lord, she had maintained her composure, but at this moment, her expression subtly changed.
In the distance, on a nearby hill, Liu Bin burst into maniacal laughter, as if he had witnessed the most hilarious sight in the world, gasping for breath.
"Doesn't he know... why a poisonous toad... is called the Blackstone Pool Demon Lord?"
