Chapter 138: A Family United
Chapter 138: A Family United
Bang!
Shen Yi tossed Yan Xingkong to the three of them and then handed over the Two-Element True Intent.
Seeing the martial arts manual returned, the two Taoists heaved a sigh of relief, "Thankfully Shen Da Ren is here; otherwise, not only would we not have found the Two-Element True Intent, but we might have also lost something here today."
Such a powerful demon with a long heritage, its Azure Feather was incredibly sharp, and its Crimson Feather could continuously recover, making it far beyond their ability to handle. Even if they fled with all their might, just surviving would be considered a good outcome.
Thinking of this, Chunyangzi glared at Yan Xingkong on the ground. If it weren't for the Dao Sword in the air still guarding Hone Jing, he would have been furious enough to pierce him through!
That was the Ancestral Shrine that had been passed down since the establishment of White Cloud Temple! This dog thief had destroyed it without a second thought!
Jingqing Daoren shook his head slightly and reminded the old man beside him, "Forget it, the two officials will seek an explanation from White Cloud Temple on his behalf."
The other party had committed a major taboo of the Demon Suppressing Bureau. Every demon hunter and Demon-Slaying Captain had only one duty: to guard Qingzhou, not to sacrifice their lives for personal grudges, especially when the other party hadn't given any prior information, leading them all into this blind situation.
If today's visitor hadn't been Shen Da Ren, but instead an assistant general from another county of Tingyang Prefecture, and he had accidentally fallen here, the already precarious Qingzhou would have faced even greater calamity with the loss of a personal guard.
The Demon Suppressing Bureau would never set such a precedent.
Although the Taoists were equally furious, they didn't have the habit of venting their anger by tormenting a dying man.
"..."
Shen Yi strode towards the last demon.
Hone Jing, suspended in the air by two Dao Swords, looked at his parents' corpses in the distance, his entire body trembling like chaff, and noticed the young man approaching.
The look of despair and collapse on his face finally turned into a terrifying grimace, "I'll fight you to the death!"
The Azure Feather on his right arm shone brilliantly, as if slicing horizontally.
However, before he could even lift his arm, Shen Yi had already casually slapped him with a palm.
Hone Jing's handsome head exploded, leaving only his body swaying slightly before transforming back into its original form, and a strand of blood energy drilled into the Silver Bell.
Shen Yi drew out the Black Blade and, with far more skill than before when he had drawn the bow, sliced open the demon's belly to extract the demon core. In just a few breaths, he held a Peacock Seed Core in his palm.
Following the same method, he collected the blood energy and demon cores of the two old demons into the Silver Bell.
Even when the young man returned to stand before them, they were still stunned, unconsciously taking a step back, "..."
Although it was a Seed Core Realm demon, Shen Da Ren's actions in killing the demons were a bit too simple and brutal.
Moreover, the graceful and fluid process left them wondering how much demon blood his hands had been stained with to achieve such skill. Even the White Cloud Temple, dedicated to demon subjugation, would feel ashamed in comparison.
"Huff."
Yan Xingkong lay on the ground, staring at Hone Jing's corpse, finally feeling content as he exhaled a turbid breath.
His bloodshot eyes revealed a hint of relief.
"How do you feel?" Xiao Qianwei walked over.
"I feel much better... Thank you all for your help," Yan Xingkong's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"Do you need to be escorted back to the Demon Suppressing Bureau?" Xiao Qianwei reminded him. The other party was a Core Formation Realm warrior who had spent most of his life in Qingzhou, and regardless of his reputation, there were bound to be many who knew him.
"You are all kind people. Please allow me to be weak one last time. I ask the two Daoists to bury me and Ying'er together... She was just a Jade Essence Realm demon, and her beast core isn't valuable. Go to Flat Sand Valley, and my group of boys will surely provide compensation of equal value."
Clearly, Yan Xingkong could tell at a glance who among them was the softest-hearted.
With a bitter smile, he turned his gaze towards Chunyangzi.
"Your grandmother! Don't try to play the victim here! Taoist Priest, I'm not falling for your act. I should hang your head on the city walls!" Chunyang Daoist clenched his fist and took a few deep breaths, but he still silently observed the youth in the black robe.
Everyone in Qingzhou knew the methods of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, so what was this talk of joint burial? By then, the other party's head and body might not even be buried together.
It was hard enough to find an opportunity, so he might as well make full use of this bandit king from Flat Sand Valley to intimidate the various powers.
"My business here is done. You two can do as you please." Shen Yi stood with his hands behind his back.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xingkong closed his eyes with satisfaction, "Thank you."
He had never thought of returning to Qingzhou alive. Being able to fulfill his last wish was enough to bring a smile to his face.
Whoosh!
In response, Chunyangzi casually waved his wide sleeves, and the broadsword shrunk several times, whooshing past the man's neck, leaving him with a complete corpse.
"You agreed to it, so you should do it yourself. I don't have the strength to bury this couple," Jingqing Daoist said, but before he could finish, Chunyangzi had already dragged him towards the collapsed wooden house.
The three demons were almost all personally slain by Shen Yi, and those few feathers were obviously priceless.
It was time to reap the rewards, and it would be awkward for them to just stand there.
When only the two of them remained.
Xiao Qiangwei finally showed signs of unease, "You almost got yourself killed here too."
If it wasn't a Condensation Core Perfection demon, but a Core Condensation Realm demon, today would have truly been the end.
Shen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, "No, I have the Turtle Breathing Technique. After entering, I also took a look from the side."
Otherwise, how could he have immediately found Yan Xingkong, who was hiding nearby?
With just a simple sentence, Xiao Qiangwei instantly understood the youth's meaning. Her breath-concealing skills were far inferior to his, and when encountering an existence that couldn't be defeated by force, he wouldn't choose to help them either.
"Can't you be a little more tactful?" Xiao Qiangwei helplessly patted the dust off her body.
"For such a life-threatening matter, it's better to be clear." Shen Yi retracted his gaze and moved his sore arms. He hadn't felt it before, but the aftereffects were quite significant. Even his body, strengthened by the Immortal Demon Nine Transformations, was exhausted by that divine bow.
He was just a Jade Dew Realm warrior, and with his Body Tempering martial arts, he possessed the combat power of the Core Formation Realm. Without the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, there wasn't much of a gap between him and the two Daoists.
He wasn't some savior who could be called upon at any time, always arriving just in time to turn the tide.
If this woman continued to be influenced by him, abandoning her past vigilance and decisiveness, she would eventually die outside.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiangwei seriously reflected for a moment and nodded, "I'll be careful."
Perhaps it was because Shen Yi had entered the Blackstone Pool without hesitation that left a deep impression on her, making her subconsciously think that he had entered the stone wall.
But she had overlooked his ever-present Turtle Breathing Technique.
Caution and decisiveness were both necessary, the difference lay in having a grasp of the situation.
"..."
Xiao Qiangwei adjusted her breathing and finally regained some of her previous state when she acted alone. She was a Silver Bell Exorcist who had achieved success through her own efforts, not someone who had her mind occupied by others and could only be their lackey.
"Then I'll leave the cleanup to Senior Xiao." Shen Yi turned and walked away, starting to tally their gains.
"Okay." Xiao Qiangwei nodded subconsciously.
