Chapter 211: The Mighty Minotaur
Chapter 211: The Mighty Minotaur
Jiang Qiulan fell through the air, finally managing to stabilize her body.
The white mist surrounding her began to surge and spill out, a sign that her Dao Infant was crumbling.
Her eyes remained calm, yet they held a hint of daze.
She struggled to stand straight, her vision fixed on the figure cloaked in black hovering in the air.
The cold light in her palms intensified as she prepared to charge forward once more.
Just then, a hand grabbed the back of her collar.
"Move aside."
A familiar and indifferent voice rang in her ear, and before Jiang Qiulan could turn around, she was lightly tossed aside.
In her blurry vision, in addition to Madam Qinghua's figure, there was now a slender silhouette, also clad in black. The person was surrounded by a dense cloud of crimson clouds.
The sky changed color.
The dark red demon clouds were instantly devoured by the sweeping scarlet.
The young man stood atop a cloud of bloody evil energy, a golden-patterned ink sheath at his waist, and his bloodstained black shirt billowing, resembling a fierce god.
In an instant, the entire city seemed to freeze.
Countless martial artists watched helplessly as their last hope was casually thrown aside, without even a chance to resist.
Jing Yuanhua's grip on his sword handle suddenly loosened.
He stared blankly at the distant figure.
That person should be intercepting the Howling Moon Demon King right now. He had only just arrived...
Noticing the blood on Shen Yi's clothes, his pupils contracted, and a hard-to-believe thought suddenly occurred to him.
At the entrance of the Li family mansion, everyone, including the old ancestor, stood stupefied. A fierce demon was already intimidating enough, but now there was another one.
Just then, a foolish roar came from the doorway, "It's Master Shen! This demon is Master Shen!"
Li Mujin was stunned for a moment, unsure if this exclamation was out of excitement or fear.
"... "
Madam Qinghua looked towards the handsome young man.
For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
If he was an enemy, then how could she explain the overwhelming demonic power filling the sky?
And if he was a friend... the crimson aura emanating from his skin clearly indicated a Mixed Element Realm cultivator, and his indifferent gaze made her feel uncomfortable, as if he had seen right through her.
Of course, there was also a question that Madam Qinghua couldn't understand.
Why would her son choose such a remote place as the new king's territory? A place with only a small state and two Mixed Element Realm cultivators.
Sensing the powerful aura, a hint of hesitation appeared in Madam Qinghua's heart for the first time.
Just at this moment, under her watchful gaze.
A bronze armor suddenly appeared around Shen Yi's body, floating around him, making him look majestic and awe-inspiring.
A few bloodshot streaks appeared in Madam Qinghua's eyes.
If the crimson cloud wasn't unique, as many Demon Kings possessed similar treasures, this set of armor was something she had personally obtained from another Demon King.
"... "
Shen Yi glanced at the broken umbrella and shattered handle by her side.
He had never had the opportunity to showcase his true strength to others.
Thinking of this, he casually summoned a bronze mirror, which grew larger in the wind until it hung in the sky like a massive sun.
"Heh..."
Madam Qinghua closed her eyes, her once-radiant face now slightly dejected, a tearstain appearing at the corner of her eye.
This was her dressing mirror, which had accompanied her through countless days and nights. Now, it reflected her image once more, but with a soft light shining upon her.
"I will never—"
Shen Yi grabbed her elegant hair bun and viciously kneed her in the face!
Fighting with your eyes closed, do you think this is an opera performance?
The lower part of Madam Qinghua's face was suddenly shattered. In addition to the full support of the Heaven Devouring Technique's Dao Infant, there was also the Mixed Element Tempered Body, fused with the Nine-Headed Celestial Demon Beast going berserk!
Due to the need for close combat, the bronze mirror only emitted a soft light to slow down Madam Qinghua's movements, without unleashing a scorching pillar of light.
In an instant, his strikes landed on Madam Qinghua's vital meridians.
Even before the excruciating pain could subside, the numbing sensation that spread throughout her body, coupled with the restriction imposed by the bronze mirror treasure, made her keenly aware of how to block. Yet, her movements were always a step too slow.
"Severing the Meridians, Capturing the Dragon?"
Jing Yuanhua, sword in hand, intended to take advantage of the situation and ambush the demon. However, he had barely begun to move when he was alerted by the youth's casual glance.
He stared in astonishment, a strange sense of familiarity washing over him.
As the creator of this martial art, he never imagined that it would still be effective against a Demon King... How could the opponent's formidable demonic physique be sealed by ordinary strikes to their acupoints?
This could only prove that Shen Yi's seemingly casual punches contained power beyond his comprehension.
At that moment, the youth was ruthlessly channeling all his strength into Madam Qinghua's body.
"Wait!"
Madam Qinghua gritted her teeth in anger, and in the next moment, her neat row of white teeth was shattered by a punch.
The relentless knee strikes to her lower abdomen seemed intent on shaking her internal organs to pieces.
The two combatants fought their way from the east to the west of the city.
Madam Qinghua was pummeled like a broken sack along the way.
Shen Yi's physique beneath his dark red and black shirt seemed to contain boundless strength, never-ending no matter how much he exerted himself.
His Dao Infant had just started to show signs of weakness after depleting a Demon King's lifespan worth of demonic blood.
"Gulp."
The Li family's old ancestor swallowed his saliva. If the previous battle between the general and his disciple against the demon had left him with no opportunity to intervene, the current situation in the sky truly frightened him. He feared that if he dared to approach, he would be shattered by the youth's overflowing fist winds.
This demon was truly resilient...
"Wait!!!"
Madam Qinghua finally let out a roar, her black cloak falling away as her clothes tore, revealing her massive demonic form.
It was a short-horned yellow bull with crimson patterns on its body, and red mist swirling around its four hooves.
About thirty meters long, it was unmistakably a bull, yet its mouth was full of fangs.
The terrifying force emanating from the youth combined the mighty cultivation of a Mixed Element Realm master with a demonic physique that rivaled that of a demon. This forced Madam Qinghua to take a huge risk and reveal her distinct demonic form to counter him.
"..."
Shen Yi casually caught the falling cloak and stored it away in his treasure. As the bull's hoof stomped down, he blocked it with his forearm, and in the face of the overwhelming force, his arm guard was blown away. Finally, his body, enhanced by the Nine-headed Celestial Demon Beast and the Mixed Element Tempered Body, was breached.
The bull's hoof trampled his forearm, tearing away the flesh to reveal the scarlet Dao Infant beneath.
Shen Yi didn't even bother to twitch his eyebrows. The peacock-red light swiftly covered the wound, and before the bull could retract its hoof, the injury had already healed.
He sensed a familiar essence in the patterns on the bull's body.
It was the taste of demonic blood.
Refining demon bones, forging a demonic physique... So that was what it meant.
Shen Yi grabbed the bull's slender leg, and his entire body suddenly exerted force, swinging the massive bull sideways and then tossing it into the sky.
The horrifying scene left everyone petrified, some even feeling a tingling sensation on their scalps.
Immediately afterward, they saw the youth's figure transform into a stream of light, charging forward.
With the Abyssal Spear, Shen Yi pierced through the bull's flesh, entering its body, and then tore out a mess of entrails from its spine.
The only sound left in the entire Qingzhou City was the pitiful wailing of the bull-demon.
"Ahhh!!!"
