Chapter 146: One Incense Stick is Not Enough
Chapter 146: One Incense Stick is Not Enough
The moonlight was dim, falling on the burly and muscular body of the Ox Demon, and the surging demonic energy gradually covered Xi Tai Mountain with a layer of red mist.
This was the first time Shen Yi had heard a demon refer to itself as "this king."
However, this appearance had nothing to do with Xiao Yue, and the aura he felt from the other party was not a level higher than Jiang Qiuluan.
But anyway... the scene before him didn't seem like something he could get involved in.
Suddenly, Shen Yi noticed an old dog demon holding a spear standing below the high stone seat, easily overlooked in the shadow of the Ox Demon's huge body.
The aura emanating from the dog demon clearly marked it as another Dan-embracing realm demon.
"...'
Shen Yi glanced discreetly behind him.
At this moment, the Ox Demon also noticed his presence and waved his palm dismissively, showing little interest: "Go and take care of him."
At this command, the old dog twisted its neck and stepped forward.
Bai Lu suddenly stepped forward: "There's no need for the Little Demon King to take care of this personally. I'm not good at anything else, but I can run fast, so let me do it."
There were also power divisions among the demon races, and everywhere outside of Qingzhou belonged to Xiao Yue Demon King; this group of Dan-embracing demons were also his subordinates.
Little Demon King belonged to the rising star from outside.
Bai Lu's secret collusion with him had already broken a taboo, and she was even less willing to be used as a pawn by the other party to assassinate Jiang Qiuluan.
Hearing this, the Little Demon King seemed not to care much, his attention always on the woman: "Do you need to catch up?"
In the heartland.
The ink shirt on Jiang Qiuluan's body fluttered slightly, and the sleeves of her robe rose as she casually held out her palm.
Her calm expression seemed to validate what she had just said.
In Qingzhou, apart from Xiao Yue Demon King,
Whoever comes is the same.
One by one, silver needles flew out from her body, hanging in the air and quickly turning into long swords of icy frost. At first glance, there seemed to be at least thousands of them.
They gathered in the air to form a jade dragon, coiling around her body.
"I need the time it takes to burn an incense stick."
"Please hold on for a while."
Hearing this, the Little Demon King smiled at himself mockingly, and his casual movement made the mountains and forests tremble rhythmically.
Holding a silver waterfall-like ring-headed broadsword in his palm, he said, "This is why this king did not wait until after a true breakthrough to come looking for you. Being treated with such contempt has kept this king sleepless."
Jiang Qiuluan didn't pay any attention to his words at all. In the midst of the Xuanbing Yulong, she looked back calmly at the young man: "One incense stick's time. Can you do it?"
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and watched as Bai Lu approached, his expression indifferent: "It should... be no problem."
Although he had originally intended to kill the Mountain Lord, now it had turned into a Dan-embracing realm White Deer, which was somewhat pressurizing, but it had not reached the point of making him fearful.
Before the words had faded, the young man's figure instantly merged with the night, turning into a clear breeze and flying into the distance.
It wasn't until she saw this that Bai Lu's casual expression became serious. She had originally thought that capturing him would be easy, and she just wanted the young man to run farther so that she could take the opportunity to slip away. Now it seemed that she really had to put in some effort.
Without hesitation, she stomped her four hooves into the air.
Her speed was what had allowed her to escape from Jiang Qiuluan's hands repeatedly.
...
In the Xi Tai Mountains, shrouded in red mist.
A white light slammed into the ground, creating a huge pit, and the surrounding trees were crushed into powder by the powerful force.
Bai Lu angrily stomped her hooves, watching as the breeze drifted away again.
She had never heard of anyone in Qingzhou who could compare to her in speed, and now this young man was deliberately teasing her, even stopping from time to time to wait.
On a distant treetop.
Shen Yi yawned in boredom.
Even he hadn't expected that with the stimulation of the Heavenly Demon's Outer Pill, the consummate Carefree Wind-Riding Technique would actually leave even a Dan-embracing realm demon in the dust.
Now that his Tempered Physical Body had barely entered the Perfected Core-Embracing Realm, and with the Heaven Demon's Outer Pill just a step away from perfection as well, he had nothing better to do. Shen Yi once again disappeared from his original spot, casually taking out a demon pill from the Silver Bell and popping it into his mouth.
{Remaining Demon Lifespan: 3,862 years}
As the demon lifespan rapidly decreased, Shen Yi paid attention to whether Bai Lu was falling behind while occasionally sparing a glance at the interface.
This time, erasing the peacock's consciousness had taken over 300 years.
Along with the chirping in his mind, the demon pill in his mouth transformed into a robust demon force that poured into his body.
Shen Yi took out the Heaven-Piercing Sun God Bow. Ever since he completed the fourth molt, he had been able to draw the bow to about 90% of its capacity. If he could break through just one more time, the arrows shot from a full draw would be enough to make even Dan-embracing realm Demon Lords fearful at the very mention of it.
{1,302nd year, all Violet Marten demon pills have been exhausted...}
The higher the Heaven Demon's Nine Molts went, the more demon force it consumed. As for the immortal demon that was ultimately condensed, it would depend on which demon had the stronger consciousness.
This demon pill had come too easily, so much so that even Shen Yi didn't feel heartache from using it. He took out another demon pill and popped it into his mouth, slowing down once again to give Bai Lu a glimmer of hope.
{2,600th year, all Mountain Lord demon pills have been exhausted...}
Shen Yi's eyelids twitched. Compared to other martial arts, the Tempered Body Technique had always been extremely familiar to him, but now it was becoming increasingly demanding.
He had just gotten his hands on the demon pills, and now only the Golden Eagle's pill remained. He took it out and swallowed it.
The three types of demon forces mixed within his body, gradually melded together by the vitality force, as the residual consciousnesses frenziedly fought against each other like breeding gu worms.
Finally, a long cry of a golden eagle pierced into his mind, signaling the outcome of the battle.
{With wings that roll up a thousand layers of clouds, the broken golden cry startles the immortal gates. Divine eyes that gaze upon the myriad miles, and ears that hear in all eight directions. A sky-soaring general that hunts through the vast wastelands, its soul-seizing claws leave no place to hide.}
{Immortal Demon Fifth Molt}
{Remaining Demon Lifespan: 372 years}
The cultivation of three Nascent Soul realm demons had, at this moment, entirely transformed into a part of his body.
Shen Yi slowly stood up, his eyes shining with a brilliant light.
The mountain forest, shrouded in mist, was now exceptionally clear in his vision.
He raised the Heaven-Piercing Sun Bow, drew the string with a casual pull, and the bow opened up like a full moon. The sun wheel on the bow arm suddenly erupted with an extremely violent white light, as if he were truly holding a giant sun, about to pierce through the boundless sky.
The frantically pursuing White Deer seemed to sense something.
Its four hooves abruptly skidded to a stop.
The next moment, a vast white light rushed over from the distance in the blink of an eye and slammed into its body.
Under that heart-shattering radiance, its entire body was smashed back several hundred meters, and wherever the arrow passed, an abyss-like gorge appeared in its wake!
Only when the smoke and dust settled did it clamber to its feet shakily. Its entire body felt as if it had been torn apart, and when it raised its head to look at the second beam of white light that was gradually enveloping the sky, a trace of fear uncontrollably surfaced in its eyes.
It dared not be the slightest bit careless anymore and exerted all its strength to leap to the side.
Boom!!
Even the aftermath of the arrow blast was enough to send it flying through the air once more.
At the same time, the incense stick had finished burning.
In the depths of Xi Tai Mountain, half a mountain range suddenly collapsed downward, and the red demon clouds rushed into the sky, escaping at an unimaginable speed toward the distance and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
White Deer, who had just been blasted by the white light, felt its internal organs shift. As it spat out a mouthful of blood, it caught sight of this scene.
Its body trembled, and it abruptly turned its gaze forward.
It saw that the clear breeze that had been dodging and hiding this whole time had now revealed its tall and slender figure, bow in hand, calmly pointing at its heart.
