Chapter 20: Slaying the Yellow Dog Great Demon
Chapter 20: Slaying the Yellow Dog Great Demon
The Ultimate Perfection of the Cloud-Dispelling Long Fist!
With the support of his Initial Realm Five Orifices cultivation, Shen Yi's palm was enveloped by the Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth, and each punch seemed to thoroughly shatter the Yellow Pelt Clan's flesh and organs."
"Come on! Let's finish this!"
The Yellow Pelt Clan bared its teeth, and as its body gradually shrank, the crimson malevolent qi rose with the wind, covering an area of over ten zhang.
Nothing could escape being corroded by this power.
This was the reason why it hadn't used this evil technique earlier.
Under the red mist, all living things would perish.
Only Transcendent Warriors who had achieved transcendence could use the Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth to resist for a short time.
In this situation, the competition was simply a matter of who had accumulated more power.
When Shen Yi drew his saber, the Yellow Pelt Clan had already discerned his realm. Although it was surprised, it didn't believe that the other party's foundation would be more robust than its own century-old accumulation of flesh and blood.
Until Shen Yi's tenth punch, and the momentum showed no signs of waning.
His breathing was steady, and the white mist clinging to his body seemed thin, as if it would be completely corroded by the crimson malevolent qi in the next second. But it kept regenerating endlessly.
The Yellow Pelt Clan's pupils constricted slightly, and a hint of hesitation finally appeared in its expression.
It seemed like it had guessed something wrong.
"You..."
The fist pierced through the golden yellow fur, like puncturing an empty balloon.
Beneath the layers of overlapping skin, the dog demon's flesh had been exhausted, leaving only an empty skin sack.
"Spare me!" The Yellow Pelt Clan finally became terrified.
Shen Yi calmly withdrew his palm from the shattered entrails, tightened his grip on the saber hilt, pulled the blade from the joints, and then swiftly executed a downward slash!
[Slaying Early Primary Realm Dog Demon, total lifespan of five hundred and seventy years, one hundred and eighty years remaining, absorption complete.]
The red mist in the sky suddenly lost its center, becoming ethereal and uncertain.
The villagers squatted at a distance, their muddy eyes showing emotion for the first time—a barely noticeable anxiety.
Suddenly, they saw the youth emerging from the mist, his long blade sheathed by his powerful five fingers.
Under his disheveled hair, his expression showed fatigue, his breathing no longer as steady as before, slightly hurried, but his posture remained upright.
Behind him, the tall figure, now only a skin sack wrapped around a skeleton, collapsed like a falling flag!
...
On the road from Baiyun County to Six Mile Temple Village.
Chen Ji tightly gripped the old donkey's neck, feeling somewhat restless.
Although Liu Dianli wasn't an official, when he gave an order, none of the law enforcement officers in the execution chamber dared to disobey.
Chen Ji hurried home to settle his sister, but he still decided to come alone to take a look.
He watched the old donkey walking leisurely, clenched his teeth, and slapped it with his palm. Then, he jumped onto the donkey's back and hurried towards the village, using his not-so-proficient lightfoot skills.
Soon, a whiff of blood entered his nostrils.
Chen Ji's expression froze, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the saber sheath, as if he had guessed something. His legs trembled slightly as he rushed forward.
Panic enveloped his heart, and a scene of corpses littering the ground flashed through his mind.
He clenched his teeth and suddenly rushed towards the village.
"..."
After a while, several wisps of smoke came into view.
Two villagers walked along the field embankment, and when they noticed someone beside them, they turned to Chen Ji). After a moment, they forced out an awkward smile.
Chen Ji habitually wanted to smile back, but his lips were stiff, and he couldn't manage a smile.
He stared at the object the two villagers were carrying—a thick, furry thigh. The fur was stuck together with blood clots, indicating that it had been dead for some time.
"The officer said we could eat as much as we want, and whatever we can't finish, we should load onto the cart."
The villager swallowed his saliva.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ji fell silent.
Officer? Who else could it be but Shen Yi, daring to set foot here in Baiyun County.
But what had happened?
Chen Ji felt his mind going blank. He nodded as a greeting and walked past the two of them.
Soon, a familiar silhouette appeared before him.
It wasn't the fierce battle he had imagined.
Shen Yi sat quietly on the field embankment, surrounded by seven or eight half-grown children, who were carefully touching his battle saber.
Dozens of villagers were busy pulling out the demonic being's corpses from the muddy field, like digging for lotus roots. Occasionally, they would lift out an arm, and smiles would appear on their faces.
The bloody and peaceful scenes, two completely different atmospheres, intertwined, creating an extremely eerie sight before Chen Ji.
Chen Ji's body went stiff, and he didn't know how he had walked to Shen Yi's side.
He mumbled in a daze, "Where's the demonic being?"
Shen Yi looked up with a hint of surprise, as if he hadn't expected Chen Ji to approach him: "It's taken care of."
Hearing this, Chen Ji felt a strange familiarity with these words.
It was as if when he had asked about the ape demon earlier, Shen Yi had responded in the same way.
He pointed with a trembling finger at the mud soaked in dark red not far away, inhaling the foul odor that filled the air, and suppressing his urge to vomit: "You call this... taken care of?"
This was the western suburbs of the city. Beyond here was the territory of the Yellow Pelt Clan.
Shen Yi stood here, slaughtering the demonic beings that littered the ground. There were only two possibilities: either the Yellow Pelt Clan had left home, or it had also died here.
Even though the latter possibility was minuscule, compared to the absurdity of the former, Chen Ji could only repeatedly convince himself that this was real.
Two or three days ago, Shen Yi was a good-for-nothing.
But with a single move, he had directly swept away the Yellow Pelt Clan and its canine offspring. When it came to the word 'stealth,' Chen Ji could only call Shen Yi his ancestor.
"Go and clean up the corpses. It's time to go back."
A laborer had arrived, and it would be a waste not to use him.
Shen Yi extended his hand, and the half-grown children obediently took the handprint on the saber sheath and wiped it clean on their clothes before placing it back in his palm. They smiled, revealing their missing teeth: "Officer, please take your time."
He sheathed his saber, slowly stood up, and put away the board in front of him.
[Remaining Demonic Being Lifespan: Six Hundred and Seventy-Two Years]
Twelve strong dog demons, plus the contribution of one hundred and eighty years from the Yellow Pelt Clan, Shen Yi's accumulated lifespan had reached an extremely terrifying level.
On top of that, there was an unexpected gain.
When he shattered the Yellow Pelt Clan's internal organs with a punch, Shen Yi suddenly discovered an unknown organ the size of an egg inside its body.
That fleshy sphere was much tougher than the other organs, and under the powerful force, it continued to function like a living creature.
Most importantly, it contained the breath that Shen Yi had longed for since his promotion to the Initial Realm.
He simply tore it out and wrapped it in a piece of hemp cloth.
This was Shen Yi's first encounter with a true demonic being.
Those intelligent dog demons, although they could live for a century or two, were essentially no different from mortals except for their robust bodies.
The Yellow Pelt Clan, however, was entirely different. The overwhelming crimson malevolent qi covered the sky, and the city guard and law enforcement officers had almost no way to deal with it. Coming into contact with it meant certain death, and even if they kept their distance and used bows and arrows, it was difficult to penetrate the Yellow Pelt Clan's fatty flesh.
To cause real effective damage, at least a heavy crossbow would be required.
But don't forget, although the dog demons looked fat, they were not slow. Ten zhang was just a matter of a few steps for them.
And such a creature, almost invincible to mortals...
Turned out to be only in the early stages of the Initial Realm.
