Chapter 163: Qingqiu Disciple
Chapter 163: Qingqiu Disciple
The sky was dyed a faint red, the sound and sight reaching an awe-inspiring extreme.
Even Liu Yuquan, a fox demon at the same Core Formation Perfection realm as the other fox demons, was stunned by this formidable display.
The solidified crimson Dao sword collided with the copper bell's illusory shadow, causing the entire sword to tremble, while the shadow quickly retreated.
The white-robed middle-aged man's face remained impassive, his eyes filled with growing anger.
This Dao sword was clearly a manifestation of some true intent technique, albeit a crude one, yet the opponent had cultivated it to perfection, making it not to be underestimated.
If he didn't show some real skills, these people would think he was just an ordinary martial artist like the wild demons they usually encountered.
With a slight movement of his mind, a round jade pill quietly appeared beside him, one after another, until twelve jade pills were revealed, slowly rotating around him.
Each pill emitted the aura of Core Formation Perfection!
The illusory shadow of the copper bell instantly became indestructible, firmly blocking the crimson Dao sword outside.
As expected of the renowned Qingqiu disciple, with just a casual display of his abilities, he left this group of ordinary martial artists dumbfounded.
"Soul Suppressing Bell, trap!" With some spare energy, the white-robed middle-aged man pressed his palm towards the void.
With such a powerful cultivation backing him, the copper bell at his waist shot out, growing in the wind until it reached a height of several meters, and then it enveloped the distant youth with a loud boom!
"Crude martial artist, how dare you lay a hand on me."
The fox demon stood on the jade sword, her white robe fluttering as she coldly smiled down at the young woman below: "Little girl, I seem to have spared you once before, and that was for Qingzhou's sake. Rest assured, there won't be a second time."
After saying this, he pinched another seal: "Refine its soul!"
Radiant light surged on the verdant copper bell, followed by a deafening boom!
Boom—
The immense sound and sight caused the two attendant generals' faces to pale instantly. Lin Baiwei's breathing halted as the scene before her eyes was far beyond the capabilities of a Core Formation realm cultivator.
The fox demon, who was also flying with a sword, showed a change in expression.
This commotion had nothing to do with the seal he had just pinched.
In an instant, the booming sound exploded in the sky again!
The thick, verdant bell body was smashed by a colossal force, and an arm covered in dark armor reached out, clenching into a fist that forcefully punched through.
Then, five fingers gripped the edge of the crack, tearing it open with sheer force.
Shen Yi emerged, his body transforming into a gentle breeze, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the fox demon.
W
The obsidian armored sleeve struck his eye socket.
It was only at this moment that the fox demon truly experienced the sheer terror of the force that could shatter her Soul Suppressing Bell.
Her entire skull cracked, and her eyeball exploded, leaving only half of her mouth moving as she desperately recited the technique's seals.
"Jade Immortal Rejuvenation Technique..."
A thick, warm white light enveloped her head, and the jade sword under her feet swiftly carried her away, increasing the distance.
Shen Yi drew his sword and slashed, and a green, invisible ripple several meters long appeared in the air, instantly severing half of the fox demon's body.
Without the copper bell treasure, the fox demon's physical body appeared frail and weak before the youth, like a paper-thin figure.
Feeling the excruciating pain of his limbs breaking, the Fox Demon's heart finally filled with intense fear. He then felt a corrosive poison eating away at his wounds, as if it wanted to consume all his flesh and blood.
Panicked, he waved his hands frantically.
The remaining eleven External Pills shot out one after another, exploding beside Shen Yi.
The Essence Condensation Perfection cultivation contained within them burst forth, causing the heavens and earth to change color!
Without time to lament the loss of the External Pills, the Fox Demon hastily fled on his sword, but behind him, a gust of wind carrying a bloody aura surged forward, quickly sweeping in and blocking his escape route.
The youth stood in mid-air, his dark black armor and crimson cloak fluttering like a soaring red banner.
"..."
Seeing that cold, aloof figure, the Fox Demon finally remembered his innate divine ability, something he hadn't used in years.
A red light flickered in his remaining eye, attempting to bewitch the youth's heart and mind.
Just then, the Fox Demon suddenly found himself enveloped in white mist, and his surroundings turned into a pitch-black prison. Wherever he looked, he saw the youth's figure, like an inescapable nightmare.
Overwhelming despair washed over him.
The red light in his eyes faded, and his pupils became unfocused.
His mind finally shattered, and he wailed miserably, "I'll leave now, I'm going right now... Please... I'm leaving right away!"
Before he finished speaking, a calm voice sounded in his ear.
"When did I say you could leave?"
Along with the youth's whisper, the Fox Demon felt his throat seized. Before he could experience the sensation of suffocation, his neck was casually snapped.
[Killing a Fox Demon at Essence Condensation Perfection, total lifespan of 5,800 years, remaining lifespan of 4,100 years, absorption complete]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 13,050 years. Can be condensed.]
[Demon Origin: Can reshape the demon soul, serve at your side, eternal servitude, never transcending, enduring all kinds of suffering in the world, protecting its master's supreme law.]
Shen Yi held the Fox Demon's corpse, his expression finally showing a hint of surprise.
He had killed four Essence Condensation Perfection demons before, but this was the first time he encountered one so young.
As for the new addition, he didn't even bother to look at it. He could ignore the Demon Crystal, but the Demon Origin was something he could use to help him comprehend martial arts. Unless he was full, he wouldn't waste precious Demon Lifespan on feeding demons.
In addition to this Fox Demon, he had also encountered a total of twenty-four small demons, ranging from Wisdom Opening to Foundation Realm Completion, including an old fox in the early Jade Dew Realm.
Some had lifespans of over four hundred years, while others had only a few decades left, totaling over five thousand years combined.
It was rare to find an entire family gathered together, even in Qingzhou, and not fleeing at the sight of the Demon Suppressing Bureau.
Shen Yi extracted the demon pill, placed it in the Silver Bell, and collected its heart and blood essence, along with the Green Jade Saber.
He then stripped the fox's clothes and searched carefully, finding a small silver-white bag, which he also took.
Only then did he return to the bottom of the high cliff and threw the mangled corpse to his two personal guards.
"Alright, let's go."
Shen Yi strode towards Baiyun County.
The two guards' heads spun, holding the Fox Demon's corpse, feeling the intense heat, "General Shen, we were here to remind it..."
Could the Commander's frail body really carry such a heavy burden?
"I did remind them," Shen Yi said, turning back in confusion.
The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow had made such a commotion, taking the lives of over twenty family members. Wasn't that enough to make them realize they should flee?
