Chapter 305: Fighting for Survival
Chapter 305: Fighting for Survival
"Be careful, Master!"
A sharp voice, like that of Bai Yu, rang in Shen Yi's mind.
Almost simultaneously, he felt an overwhelming aura locking onto him.
Shen Yi's body went wild, and no matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't escape the control of the Demon Emperor.
He forcibly calmed his mind and stopped evading, heading straight for the welcoming hall.
"Stop him!"
"As you command, Qinghua," came the reply.
In an instant, Shen Yi communicated with Qinghua and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the towering archway.
The Embodiment of the Golden Body guarded behind him, but as it passed through the collapsed welcoming hall, it saw a bizarre-looking man sitting atop the rubble. His face was like an evil ghost, and he wore a cloak of green feathers. He was devouring flesh and blood, and he even smiled at the Embodiment, saying, "Feel free to run; no need to stand on ceremony with this Emperor."
The Embodiment of the Golden Body also disappeared beneath the archway, and the man slowly licked the blood from his palm, then stood up and stretched his arms slightly.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot, leaving the area empty.
Beyond the archway, Shen Yi soared through the sky, leaving the mountains and rivers below a blur as they were left far behind.
The Embodiment of the Golden Body remained vigilant, guarding their rear.
Just then, Qinghua suddenly noticed that her master had stopped moving.
Looking to the side, she saw the same man from before, quietly hanging in the air ahead of them. His body was adorned with iridescent green feathers that shimmered like a luxurious treasure, cascading down like a royal robe.
With a pleasant smile, he pointed to the side and said, "Would you like to try escaping from this side?"
Shen Yi remained silent for a moment.
When he raised his eyes again, the True Yang Qilin Stone within the Devouring Demon Infant inside him burned like a scorching sun.
Purple-golden flames surged forth in waves, as brilliant as the clouds in the sky, spreading across the horizon.
"Hmm?"
Qingling Guimian Eagle clapped his hands and said, "So, you've given up on escaping and want to fight this Emperor for your life?"
After saying this, he put away his smile and said, "Then, come at me."
...
In the Town of Demon Suppression, almost all the cultivators looked up towards the sky.
The purple-golden sunset reflected in their eyes.
Compared to this rare sight, the soaring demonic aura was the main attraction that drew their attention.
"Is it Purple Flame Zhenren again?"
On the second floor of an inn, a cultivator suddenly slapped his thigh and called out to his companions, "Do you remember the Zheng family I mentioned? This is it!"
His companion jumped up, alarmed, and said, "Why are you still talking about Zhenren here? Can't you sense how terrifying that demonic aura is?"
"There's a Demon Emperor in the Thousand Demon Cave that's comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!" someone stuttered.
This statement caused an uproar, and almost everyone reached for their waist pouches.
Various flying swords and magical artifacts appeared one after another.
"Who's Purple Flame Zhenren? I've never heard of him."
Tang Yuan frowned as he adjusted his breath, his face grave as he looked towards the horizon.
He knew that there were several Zhenren from Wutong Mountain in the Thousand Demon Cave, but none of them seemed to match the spectacle before him.
"I heard it's the one who destroyed the Zheng family," a few Grand Qian Sect cultivators whispered. Before their words had even landed, Hou Wanhai noticed the terrified expression on Xu Wanyun's face.
He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Tang Yuan paused, then suddenly realized something. "Could it be Fellow Daoist Shen?"
He recalled that the other person also manipulated fire.
Xu Wanyun did not reply, and her figure had already rushed out of the inn, heading directly towards the direction of the phenomenon.
"Oh no!"
Tang Yuan and the remaining few exchanged glances.
They had thought that something unexpected had happened in the Thousand Demon Cave, but they never expected it to be related to them.
"Should we go take a look?"
Tang Yuan stood up. He still remembered the promise of repaying the lifesaving grace one day.
Seeing this situation, he feared that their savior might not live long enough for him to fulfill that promise.
The few Grand Qian Sect cultivators did not respond, but silently stood up as well.
Soon, several figures rose into the air, chasing after Xu Wanyun.
All of them were powerful cultivators.
They quickly closed the distance.
When Tang Yuan witnessed the scene before him, he felt his face twitch.
He saw the man with green feathers piercing through the Golden Dragon's neck with one hand, while the Embodiment of the Golden Body slammed the man forcefully towards the ground.
At the same time, a tall and slender young man hung in the air, his black robe torn to shreds, exposing his bare upper body. The crimson patterns on his skin contrasted with the purple-golden flames, making him look like a blood-soaked figure.
He wielded the Nine Revolutions Scarlet Sunfire, transforming into a stream of light as he fell towards the ground!
"Hahahahaha!!"
Qingling Guimian Eagle let out a piercing laugh, firmly grasping Shen Yi's shoulder.
"This Emperor wants to try tearing you apart alive."
Just as he clenched his fists, he was punched by the Embodiment of the Golden Body and sent crashing into the ground.
"...!"
Shen Yi seized the opportunity to extricate himself.
His entire shoulder had shattered from that previous grasp.
Breathing heavily, he retrieved the inner elixir of the White-Feathered Demon Emperor from his storage artifact and consumed it without hesitation.
His robust body was marked by distinct muscles.
Crimson demon energy and purple-golden flames seeped from the fissures in his skin.
It seemed as if they would tear him apart at any moment.
In contrast, Qingling Guimian Eagle slowly rose, casually brushed off the dust on his body, and then crushed the Golden Dragon with a slap. "You Golden Body cultivators are so annoying. When we fight, this Emperor takes real damage, but you just use that wish power to deceive people. How disgusting."
"Tsk, it's you."
Tang Yuan pulled at his hair in frustration.
Among mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, this Demon Emperor might not be the strongest, but his astonishing speed made him the most troublesome opponent.
No wonder Shen Yi didn't try to escape. There was no way he could get away.
Tang Yuan's palm brushed over his storage bag, and three crimson lotus seeds appeared in his hand.
Chewing on them, he shouted, "Fellow Daoist Shen, this time we're truly even."
As he spoke, a wave of fire far more intense than the previous purple-golden flames swept forth.
"Mister Tang, is your master here?"
Qingling Guimian Eagle still wore a faint smile, unconcerned by the appearance of another Nascent Soul cultivator.
"I said he is, do you believe me now?"
Tang Yuan smacked his lips and slowly took a step forward, forming a triangular formation with the others.
"Hmm..."
Qingling Guimian Eagle circled warily, his gaze sweeping over the three of them before finally settling on Shen Yi. "It seems it's just you who's missing. Otherwise, this Emperor might have been in real danger today."
As his words landed, he suddenly appeared in front of Tang Yuan.
Evidently, in the Demon Emperor's eyes, this disciple of Qingfeng Zhenren posed the greatest threat.
Tang Yuan's expression turned bitter as he hadn't even reacted before his arms were gripped by the Demon Emperor.
Comparing physical strength with a Demon Emperor was an incredibly foolish act.
He gave up resisting and stared at the ghostly face mere inches from his, feeling a chill run down his spine. He then opened his mouth and spat out a fire dragon, which poured onto the Demon Emperor's body.
"Are you... trying to warm me up?"
Qingling Guimian Eagle parted his lips, revealing sharp white fangs. His feathered attire turned charred black, but his aura remained undiminished.
With a tearing sound, Tang Yuan's arm was brutally ripped off by half.
Even with the Embodiment of the Golden Body rushing at full speed, it was still a step too slow.
It threw a punch at Qingling Guimian Eagle, but the Demon Emperor suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he threw a punch of his own!
The Embodiment of the Golden Body's entire arm exploded!
"You disgusting thing, this Emperor plans to save you for last..."
Qingling Guimian Eagle cackled wildly as he retracted his arm, but his laughter abruptly stopped.
A pitch-black spear easily pierced through his heart from behind, the dark spear shaft glistening with demon blood.
Thick lightning plasma surged into his body.
He slowly turned his head, his face finally becoming utterly indifferent. "What is this thing? You dare to use anything?"
Shen Yi held the spear, his entire arm covered in black scales that had even crept up to his neck.
Combined with the surging purple-golden flames in his eyes, he looked like a ferocious demon.
Only the calmness in his voice proved that he still retained his sanity.
"Isn't this pretty useful? What do you think?"
Shen Yi's lips curled up in a sinister grin, and he ruthlessly thrust the spear upward. Demon blood gushed out as the spear tip tore through the Demon Emperor's flesh and shattered his lower jaw.
Qingling Guimian Eagle exerted all his strength to finally break free from the lightning plasma, and his palms tightly gripped the spear tip.
"Uh-oh."
Tang Yuan stared at the gleaming spearhead, just an inch away from his brow.
He couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Brother, take it easy...
