Chapter 148: The Demon of Qingfeng Mountain has been Slain
Chapter 148: The Demon of Qingfeng Mountain has been Slain
Gazing at the sword in Shen Yi's hand, the Demoness Bai Lu's heart trembled. Although it appeared peculiar, she could vaguely discern traces of the Two Extremes within it.
The density of this demonic sword's manifestation far surpassed that of the Master of Baiyun Temple.
How many years had it been since a Taoist priest at Baiyun Temple had perfected the Two Extremes?
Moreover, the aura exuded by Shen Yi clearly had not reached the level of a perfected Elixir. How was he able to condense this sword intent? Could he freely manipulate his Golden Core, unconcerned by the limitations of his meridians and orifices?
Bai Lu had no time to ponder.
Shen Yi hovered in mid-air, his jet-black robe billowing in the wind.
His eyelids twitched, his eyes filled with a dense red mist, and a chilling smile played at the corners of his lips as he quietly looked down at the demon below.
In the next moment, the scarlet sword transformed into a stream of light and slashed downward!
Puchi! Before Bai Lu could react, the sword pierced through her thigh. The Two Extremes sword then turned in mid-air and struck again.
Shen Yi took out the last Elixir Pill and popped it into his mouth, casually wiping away the blood stains from the corners of his lips.
With the now replenished Sky Demon Elixir, his cultivation had returned to around fifty percent.
He suddenly disappeared from his original spot, coordinating with the Two Extremes sword to attack from both front and back.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shen Yi's whip-like leg smashed into Bai Lu's head, followed by a punch that seemed to crumble mountains. The brutal blow landed on her body.
The Two Extremes sword seized the opportunity to pierce through her body.
With each punch landed, a chunk of flesh was corroded by the potent poison. Bai Lu's once graceful and robust body was now riddled with holes and soaked in blood.
Her counterattacks were equally fierce, continuously shattering Shen Yi's bones.
Such terrifying injuries would have been enough to kill an ordinary warrior ten times over.
However, nourished by the red light, Shen Yi seemed impervious to pain, an eternal god of slaughter, instilling a sense of dread and powerlessness in Bai Lu's heart.
Finally, with a profoundly dull thud, Shen Yi seized the moment when Bai Lu was distracted and stomped on her, forcefully driving her into the ground. The Two Extremes sword then pierced her abdomen.
The Sky-Splitting Sun God Bow returned to his palm.
This was one of the few treasures that could truly threaten a Golden Core-embracing demon like Bai Lu.
Shen Yi abruptly drew the bow, as if grasping the Blinding Sun in his hand.
Bai Lu's eyes nearly burst, and for the first time, she realized that a longbow could be used so close to an opponent's head.
Immediately after, a blinding white light burst forth from Xitai Mountain!
Most of the creatures on the mountain temporarily lost their hearing, as if plunged into a dead zone.
Boom—
As the white light dissipated, Shen Yi stared at the headless deer demon at his feet and waved his hand, dispelling the Two Extremes sword with a somewhat weary expression.
[Slaying the Elixir-Embracing White Deer Demon, total lifespan of 8,700 years, remaining lifespan of 3,400 years, absorption complete.]
He glanced at the distant figure standing with her hands hanging by her sides.
After a moment's thought, he sheathed his knife, bent down, and dug out the demon's bead, which radiated a dazzling golden light.
Fortunately, the demon's corpse was not too large, so he didn't need to dispose of it. Instead, he stored the entire thing in the Silver Bell.
That woman had arrived while he was making his final charge.
She had quietly watched from the sidelines.
It was her sudden appearance that had startled Bai Lu, giving Shen Yi the opportunity to strike.
"..."
Jiang Qiuluan's expression remained calm, but her eyes held a hint of emotion.
It was as if she were witnessing an old friend who had grown to stand on their own.
After a long silence, she smiled and shook her head. "You're amazing."
"Not bad," Shen Yi sheathed his knife and turned, fatigue evident as he began walking towards the mountain peak.
They had agreed on the duration of an incense stick's worth of burning, but he had still taken much longer.
Jiang Qiuluan followed at a steady pace, noticing the youth's unusual behavior but choosing not to say anything.
She rekindled the bonfire and sat quietly beside it, then took out an unopened wine jar from her waist storage treasure and placed it on the ground.
Looking at the youth leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, she said softly, "Come here for a moment."
Shen Yi frowned slightly but got up and went to sit by the bonfire since he had just received so many benefits from her.
However, he quietly shifted his gaze elsewhere.
In those pitch-black eyes, a substantial red mist lingered, refusing to dissipate.
Jiang Qiuluan turned the silver needle into a long sword of icy frost, holding it in her palm, and offered it to the youth, "Try it."
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow and pondered for a long while before extending his index finger to touch it cautiously.
In an instant, a piercing chill that was difficult to endure surged through his entire body from his fingertip, causing Shen Yi's lips to twitch as a sinister intent surfaced in his expression, but it soon faded into calmness again.
He discovered that the resentment and ferocity accumulated in his mind were swiftly dispelled and purged by this chilling sensation.
His pitch-black eyes regained their clarity.
Jiang Qiuluan transformed the long sword back into a silver needle and then pierced her palm with it, her expression unchanged, "There is a Dan-condensing technique in the Imperial Court called the Devouring Heaven Dan. Compared to other Dan-condensing techniques, the inner Dan cultivated using this method can nurture more foreign things during the incubation process. I suggest you choose this one."
Shen Yi was slightly taken aback.
He realized that she was referring to his external demon Dan.
"The Molten Sun Treasure Furnace can connect with three hundred and fifty orifices, which is highly beneficial for cultivating the Devouring Heaven Dan," Jiang Qiuluan continued with certainty in her tone, unconsciously eliciting a measure of trust.
She pushed the wine jar towards Shen Yi, "Have some to warm yourself, don't be polite."
After speaking, Jiang Qiuluan fell silent once more. She took out a new wine jar, skillfully uncorked it, and drank the potent liquor in large gulps.
Shen Yi felt the slight freezing sensation in his body and also stopped being polite. He took the wine jar and endured the spiciness on his tongue and palate, unconsciously furrowing his brows.
This liquor didn't seem meant for savoring as a fine wine, as it brought no pleasure at all.
Thankfully, after swallowing it, a strange warm sensation spread throughout his body, which felt rather magical.
The two sat opposite each other around the bonfire, both clad in black robes, silent and taciturn.
Under the statue, Xiao Qiangwei quietly opened her eyes, glanced to the side, and slightly clenched her palm before consciously closing her eyes again, "...'
When the wine jar was emptied, Jiang Qiuluan stood up, "I'm returning to Yushan County. Do you want to come?"
After last night's events, Shen Yi had more or less seen through her character.
Her question was merely out of politeness, similar to saying "goodbye" before leaving, and not a genuine offer to bring him along.
"No need, I need to send Senior Xiao back to Tingyang City first."
Shen Yi also made up an excuse. If she were going to slay demons, he would definitely tag along, but returning to Qingzhou, that was a different matter.
"Can you do me a favor, then?" Jiang Qiuluan walked to the door of the dilapidated temple.
"What is it?" Shen Yi looked up at her.
A hint of subtle teasing flashed in Jiang Qiuluan's eyes, "Please go to Linjiang County and inform General Chen Qiankun for me. Tell him that the demon on Qingfeng Mountain has been slain."
Shen Yi: "..."
