Chapter 208: Battle Against the Howling Moon Demon King
Chapter 208: Battle Against the Howling Moon Demon King
Above the county seat, Jiang Yuanhua looked deeply into Shen Yi's eyes, no longer hesitating. His companion had bought him the most crucial asset—time.
The highs and lows of life could be no more profound than this.
The matter was not yet concluded, and he was still the general of Qingzhou, far from being able to cast off his heavy responsibilities and give up.
A sword, like a rainbow piercing the sun, tore through the crimson mist that veiled the sky, rushing towards Qingzhou City!
"..."
Hunching over, the Howling Moon Demon King gripped his crescent blade tightly.
The young man before him was a stranger; he couldn't even recall his name. Yet, unbeknownst to him, Qingzhou had quietly gained another Master of the Hunyuan realm.
The Wolf King suddenly remembered the five Demon Lords who had disappeared without a trace from his command.
He guessed that Qingzhou had gained another cunning warrior, but he never imagined that he would be a Master of the Hunyuan realm.
The reason was simple.
If there were a Master of the Hunyuan realm stationed in Qingzhou, given Jiang Yuanhua's personality, he would have joined forces with him to step out of Qingzhou and slay the Demon King together.
Instead of abandoning Qingzhou as he had done earlier, putting up a desperate front.
Of course, there was also another crucial reason.
Even it knew that according to the schedule, it was now the turn of the Great Qian Dynasty to take the lead in resisting the Thousand Demon Cave. If there were any extra Masters of the Hunyuan realm, they would surely be dispatched by the Immortal Sect to the most dangerous front lines.
"Greetings, esteemed Master," the old wolf said, holding the crescent blade in his embrace, his clawed hand in a fist and a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "May I inquire as to your esteemed name?"
Offending a martial arts master was a completely different concept from offending a Master of the Hunyuan realm.
Jiang Yuanhua could only hide in Qingzhou City and curse himself, but this young man could truly keep pestering him relentlessly.
They were both at the same level of strength, and by taking the initiative to pay respects, the old wolf, as the senior, gave his junior enough face.
"..."
Shen Yi stepped forward, his sleeves billowing. The powerful and heavy punch that seemed to have the force to turn the rivers and seas exploded forth, with crimson light erupting from beneath his skin.
The Dao Infant was a being evolved from the essence of the heavens and earth, transcending the realm of mortal flesh.
Now, without the need to manipulate any sort of energy, every move was executed with full force.
Although the Devouring Heaven Pill's consumption was immense, its foundation far surpassed that of its peers.
The cultivation and flesh of countless demons, transformed into demonic power, surged into his arm, manifesting before the Howling Moon Demon King.
Its eyes narrowed, and it abruptly raised its crescent blade, responding with a slash!
A clash of flesh against divine weapon!
Crack—
The majestic crescent blade, having claimed countless lives, shattered instantly under that fist glowing with crimson light!
The fierce demonic power swept over the Howling Moon Demon King, causing its expression to change drastically. It crossed its arms to try and block that punch.
The demonic power washed over its body armor, shattering it to pieces, and its entire frail body tumbled backward. It took about thirty feet before it stabilized itself.
The gray fur on the old wolf stood on end, its eyes quietly scanning its forearm.
The formidable body of the Demon King made even the most valiant warrior blush.
Yet with just one punch, there was a subtle trend of its arm bones fracturing.
This didn't seem like someone who had just broken through to the Hunyuan realm!
"Impressive skills, Master. But isn't this a bit much? I merely took a stroll inside," the Howling Moon Demon King said, reacting swiftly as it withdrew its gaze, gritting its teeth against the intense pain while nonchalantly brushing off the fragments of its armor.
Even if it was shocked to its core, it must not let it show.
If the young man were to realize that he had taken a significant hit, it would be difficult to escape unscathed today.
In this world, there was nothing that couldn't be discussed, and everything could be negotiated.
"There is a matter of priorities..."
Before the old wolf could finish speaking, Shen Yi, having taken advantage of the momentum from his previous punch, had already gained some understanding of this brand-new realm.
After familiarizing himself with it, his figure once again pressed down from the air.
The red mist in his eyes condensed into a tangible substance, and he no longer bothered with any flashy martial arts techniques.
A Grand Master returns to the basics.
When a simple, long punch is enough to tear apart the mountains and rivers, everything else becomes frivolous and ornamental.
His elbow heavily slammed into Howl Moon's face, sending the old wolf flying once more. The ferocious beast's face caved in, and its sharp fangs were completely shattered.
Shen Yi's figure suddenly vanished from sight.
He didn't have the habit of chatting with his food before eating it.
In the air, he grabbed the old wolf by the neck and then forcefully threw it downward.
The Howling Moon Demon King's two clawed hands tightly gripped Shen Yi's wrists. The claws, sharp enough to easily tear apart the bodies of demon lords, finally dug into Shen Yi's skin with all its might.
However, beneath the barely broken skin was not flesh and blood, but a substantial crimson demon force.
The physical body is but a vessel, and the Dao Infant is the skeleton.
The Howling Moon Demon King was an extremely ancient old demon, no longer possessing the strength of its youth, but even so, it still couldn't believe that it would appear so frail under the young man's restraint.
But it was, after all, still a Demon King.
The old wolf's two eyes bulged out of their sockets, and its demonic power surged into its claws, finally giving it a moment of respite under those white palms glowing with crimson light.
"Ao—"
It opened its bloody, mangled mouth wide, and a long howl escaped, sharp and piercing!
"..."
Shen Yi furrowed his brows. Amidst the wolf's howl, he actually felt as if he was about to be expelled from his own body... It was a soul technique.
It could cause one's soul to leave the body and subsequently dissipate.
After all, having fought a life-and-death battle with the consciousness of the Dao Infant for 1,700 years, his spiritual will was far tougher and stronger than that of others. But even in this situation, he still felt a strong sense of dizziness.
He finally released his grip on Howling Moon's neck.
The old wolf's face was filled with relief at having survived, but it dared not stop its soul technique; instead, it howled even louder!
At such a close distance, this might be its only chance. It had to take this opportunity to shatter the young man's soul with one fell swoop!
The next moment, Shen Yi's hand landed on the hilt of the knife at his waist. As he touched the Submerging Abyss, a cool feeling surged into his body.
As an upper-grade treasure, the Submerging Abyss, aside from its sharpness, had only one other function.
To guard the soul!
Perhaps it couldn't completely ignore the Howling Moon Demon King's soul technique, but coupled with his already robust spiritual will...
Puchi!
Shen Yi held the knife with both hands, and the blade, veiled in black mist, vertically stabbed downward, piercing through the old wolf's bloody maw, penetrating its oral cavity, and exiting from the back of its neck.
He then released the knife handle and threw another violent punch!
Bang—
The old wolf's eyes shattered, its face covered in blood. Unable to break free, it could only instinctively swing its claws in retaliation.
