Chapter 147: The Temptation That Failed
Chapter 147: The Temptation That Failed
Useless! Useless!!
White Deer let out a furious roar in his heart, that damned woman's words were accurate to the second.
That good-for-nothing minor Demon King, and he dared to proclaim himself a king with such meager abilities.
Initially, he had some dissatisfaction, feeling neglected under Moonshriek Demon King, and intended to approach this minor Demon King, hoping for a position as a founding elder once the latter truly established his kingdom.
At this moment, White Deer desperately wanted to strangle that stupid bull.
"..."
He watched as the young man released the bowstring, and the bull suddenly stomped its hooves, unleashing its innate divine ability.
In an instant, the white mist surged and enveloped the area within a hundred li, covering everything within sight.
The Heaven-Dome Sunbreaker Bow emitted another intense white radiance, tearing through the mist, and then vanished without a trace.
Shen Yi was enveloped by the white mist but remained calm.
His eyes, gleaming with brilliance, scanned the surroundings, seeing through the mist.
However, what he saw before him left Shen Yi slightly puzzled.
Earlier, he was in the dimly lit Stream Platform Mountain, but now it had transformed into a paradise akin to the Jade Pool, with white jade paving the ground, golden branches, peach trees, and even immortal cranes strolling in the clouds.
Pleasant immortal music reached his ears, and the fragrance of jade dew wafted through the air.
These things seemed to have a bewitching effect, gradually relaxing one's guard and causing one to overlook previous events.
A bath made of snow-white pebbles was shrouded in mist, and within it, an immortal maiden seemed to be frolicking.
"An illusion?"
Shen Yi pondered for a moment, then sheathed the Heaven-Dome Sunbreaker Bow and drew out the straight Yi Saber.
Since it was a Core Condensation Demon Lord, having some life-preserving abilities was normal.
His eyes glowed with crimson mist, and the violent and murderous emotions dispelled the trance in his heart, as the robust and fierce demonic power from the Celestial Demon Outer Pill surged into his limbs and bones.
He calmly observed his surroundings.
If it was an illusion, there must be a backup plan.
What Shen Yi had to do was seize the momentary opportunity and deliver a fatal strike.
As if to validate his thoughts, splashes of water erupted from the steaming bath, accompanied by a barbell-like laughter.
The next moment, three figures, clad only in thin veils, emerged from the water.
However, Shen Yi's expression turned peculiar.
A white deer waved a pink veil, while in its other hand, it held a demon core, casting seductive glances at Shen Yi.
Behind it stood a towering bull demon, its muscular body taut with thin veils, and a skinny old demon, both shy and hesitant, looking at Shen Yi with their demon cores half-hidden in their chests.
"It's not..."
Coldness flashed in Shen Yi's eyes, and his expression grew increasingly calm as he slowly tightened his grip on the saber hilt.
He had anticipated that the opponent might use a beauty trap.
But was this not too insulting?
At the same time, the white deer hidden in the mist was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Its divine ability could evoke the deepest desires in people's hearts. Since it was a young man, how could he not be tempted? Even if there were truly virtuous gentlemen, their hearts would still harbor a certain figure they couldn't forget, which was why this scene of the immortal maiden in the Jade Pool was chosen.
Fine, fine... Even if one were to take a step back, even if the opponent were as hard as a rock, and the illusion had no effect on them, White Deer could still accept it.
But what it couldn't comprehend was seeing itself in the pool?!
"You damn bastard!"
Its white mist could only cover a hundred li, and with the opponent holding the divine bow, it was challenging for White Deer to escape directly.
It had planned to wait for the young man to become infatuated and then launch a sneak attack. Whether it succeeded in killing or severely wounding, it would be enough for White Deer to escape before Jiang Qiulan arrived.
But now, its blood boiled, and it charged forward without hesitation! It feared the Heaven-Dome Sunbreaker Bow, but it wasn't truly afraid of the opponent.
Even without excelling in combat, the White Deer was still a Core Condensation Demon Lord!
The sturdy and sharp deer horns grew as they faced the wind, resembling two steep mountain peaks that suddenly crashed towards the young man!
Contrary to expectations, the ground did not shake, nor did the mountains tremble.
The massive deer horns failed to reach the mountain range, and the slender figure below, with his black robe fluttering, extended his left hand to block the attack. Between his palms, the vast force from the horns gradually dissipated.
The deer horns slowly descended towards the ground, their speed akin to that of a crawling turtle.
Evidently, the strength of the two was on par, with only a slight difference, if any.
Could a mortal body with a fleshly womb withstand the might of a demon's body?
The White Deer clenched its teeth, its heart filled with uncertainty and anger. As the force of the descending horns increased by fifty percent, the Yi Saber in Shen Yi's right hand suddenly glowed with azure light.
He slashed upwards from below!
The invisible ripple, spanning over ten zhang wide, appeared slow but was as swift as an arrow released from a bowstring, instantly expanding.
A fine line appeared on the magnificent and ornate deer horn crown, followed by a muffled cracking sound. Approximately one-third of the deer horn tilted and slid down, crashing towards the ground.
The White Deer hurriedly lifted its head, not even having the time to feel sorry for its horns. Just as it had restored them to their original size, it saw Shen Yi charging with his saber.
The saber was a chaotic mix of colors.
It contained malevolent demon power, frosty azure light, and even... the White Deer sniffed a trace of toxic aura.
It stomped its front hoof, but the youth neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he took the heavy stomp on his shoulder and then swiftly slashed his saber towards its back.
"Trading injuries?"
The strength of a Core Formation Demon was enough to crush the hopes of a Qingzhou warrior. The youth's shoulder instantly caved in, but with the aid of the azure light, he successfully sliced the long saber into the White Deer's flesh.
As expected, the result was as anticipated.
The instant the cold saber entered its body, the White Deer sensed toxic energy seeping into its muscles and bones. With a sizzling sound, the intense burning pain and corrosive sensation caused its expression to change drastically.
Looking at Shen Yi again, he saw that the force of a single hoof that could annihilate most Core Formation warriors had only shattered his bones...
The next moment, a red light flashed across the White Deer's vision.
Under the nurturing of the red radiance, Shen Yi casually waved his hand, and his shoulder healed at a visible speed, returning to its original state.
Then, he pounced again.
The two figures crossed in mid-air three times, and three horrifying gashes swiftly appeared on the White Deer's body. The toxins had devoured the tender muscles, turning them into green liquid that flowed towards its bones and internal organs.
Just as it lifted its head to look at the youth, it found that his injuries had already been healed by the red radiance.
"Are you a damn poisoner who doesn't cultivate martial arts at all?"
The White Deer finally grew anxious. It had confidence in escaping from Jiang Qiulan's grasp because that woman never wasted time on useless things. She never bothered with light body skills or breath-concealing techniques; she had never delved into any of them.
Ever since reaching the Core Formation Realm, she had only cultivated the Mystic Ice Seven Stars Sword Intent to nurture her inner demon core.
One could say that her entire being was dedicated to breaking through to the Mixed Origin Ultimate Master.
However, the young man before her was clearly weaker, yet he possessed an endless array of skills, wielded a powerful magical artifact, and moved faster than this speed-specialized Demon Lord.
He was simply infuriating to the extreme!
"..."
As if reminded by the White Deer, Shen Yi lightly nodded, raised his left hand in front of his heart, and skillfully formed a sword finger.
The Celestial Demon Outer Pill trembled, and the demon power within surged forth.
A solidified crimson Dao Sword materialized before him, and the slowly flowing Yin-Yang Fish exuded a malevolent aura.
