Chapter 323: Survive Three Moves, and I'll Guarantee Your Life
Chapter 323: Survive Three Moves, and I'll Guarantee Your Life
The fox demon's howl became increasingly piercing.
As its muscles rippled, an immense body that sent shivers down one's spine emerged from the clouds.
Its massive tail swayed, casting a shadow over the sky.
It extended its front paws from the dark clouds, and strange talismans hung above its snowy fur, emitting a faint glow.
A pearl hung before its head, like a full moon in its jaws.
Mists flowed from the pearl, enveloping the fox demon's body and making it seem as if it were draped in a delicate, priceless scarf.
"Tsk, that's quite something."
Clearing Wind True Man lifted his head, pausing in his chewing of the dried fruit.
While it was true that demons could also use magical treasures, most of them were plundered from cultivators. It was indeed rare to see one tailored specifically for a demon body like this.
The opponent even had a personal talisman array, and if he remembered correctly, this should be the Xu family's specialty.
The Qingqiu tribe had really figured out the right way to cultivate.
"Using a powerful demon body along with various cultivator methods, isn't that just cheating?"
Tang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice.
Coming from a small country, he didn't have the same detached and refined attitude as someone from Wutong Mountain. He had an innate wariness of demons and monsters.
Now that the Qingqiu Old Ancestor had revealed its true demon form, Tang Yuan could no longer view it as a cultivator.
Moreover, its cultivation far surpassed that of Elder Shen.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuan quietly turned his head to look at the anxious group from the Great Qian Dynasty behind him.
Why was it that Qingqiu's accumulation over the years was considered the fox demon's ability, and while Elder Shen had so many colleagues willing to lend a hand, they weren't allowed to help?
Why was his master, as a senior, taking sides so blatantly?
"Stop muttering to yourself in your head," Clearing Wind True Man glanced at his disciple and then looked towards the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the sky.
In front of the fox demon, which was barely visible through the clouds, Shen Yi's aura was almost negligible.
He was probably a Hybrid Element Sect master approaching the Upper Realm, nothing more.
Clearing Wind True Man didn't think there was any aura-concealing technique that could hide from his eyes.
He knew that Shen Yi must have some kind of trick up his sleeve.
But no matter what technique it was, it couldn't possibly make up for such a huge gap in their realms.
What really piqued Clearing Wind True Man's curiosity was Shen Yi's expression.
He seemed casual, but he was actually intently observing the mess of things on the fox demon's body.
He was... truly pondering how to take down this fox.
"I'm suddenly a little interested."
"Three moves."
Clearing Wind True Man put down the dried fruit, raised a finger, and said, "Tell him, if he can survive three moves, I'll guarantee his life."
Their encounter at the Eight Directions Restaurant had left him with a bit of appreciation for this young man.
And now, meeting again...
In front of the Qingqiu Patriarch, he was still thinking about how to win instead of how to save his life. This mentality was truly admirable.
Three moves were a threshold.
It proved that Shen Yi was confident, not arrogant, and that he truly had the ability to exchange moves with a mid-stage demonized spirit in its prime.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan quickly waved to the confused Great Qian group in the light curtain and then shouted towards the sky, "Elder Shen, did you hear that? Survive three moves!"
His words echoed out.
The Qingqiu Old Ancestor, brimming with killing intent, suddenly paused, looking down with disbelief.
Did Wutong Mountain really think he was deaf?
"Ao!"
Its expression turned hideous, and its rage transformed into a roar. Finally, it stopped being cautious, retracted its gaze, and glared fiercely forward.
Just at that moment, its eyes flickered with a hint of distraction.
Because the young man who had been standing with his hands behind his back had disappeared from his original spot.
His already faint aura could no longer be detected at all.
The Qingqiu Old Ancestor subconsciously turned its head to the spot where it was easiest to launch a sneak attack, but it was still empty.
He stared at the round pearl before him.
Within the wide sleeves of his robe, his muscles tensed, and crimson veins pulsed with surging blood energy.
Boom!
His fist unleashed a force that seemed capable of shattering mountains and splitting the sea.
It slammed into the huge pearl with a faint crunch.
A crack appeared from the peak of his fist, spreading at a visible rate across the entire surface of the pearl.
Like a shattered full moon, the already hazy sky grew even dimmer.
"Does that count as one move?"
Tang Yuan's face lit up with joy as he turned eagerly to his master.
"..."
Clearing Wind True Man remained silent.
He had said that Shen Yi had to withstand three moves.
But at this moment, Shen Yi's actions clearly indicated that he wanted to weaken the fox demon's defense first.
He was still thinking about how to kill the fox demon and didn't seem to take his own words to heart.
The Qingqiu Patriarch never imagined that in just the time it took to turn its head, its treasure would be destroyed by a single punch, and without the pearl's support, the misty veil around its body thinned significantly.
"Damn it!"
In its shock and fury, the array talismans on its claws quickly spread towards its legs.
With the boost of the array, its demonic body reached unimaginable levels of terror.
"Trap me, now!"
The fox demon roared a spell from its mouth.
The heavens and earth shook, and five dragon-phoenix bracelets appeared, their mystical light flashing as they silently locked onto the young man's limbs and neck.
As it swung its palm, a thorned hand chain surged forward to meet it, suddenly entangling its sharp claws.
Both had chosen to restrict the other, but the difference in their abilities was stark.
Empowered by the array, the thorned hand chain, capable of binding a golden body, lasted only a dozen breaths before being torn apart by the fox's claws.
Tang Yuan was stunned by the fox demon's formidable power. He had thought that the Qingqiu Patriarch was inferior to the Green Plume Demon Emperor, but with these methods at its disposal, its strength had increased significantly.
As he watched Shen Yi trapped in place, Tang Yuan blurted out, "The Binding Spell is one move, and the palm strike is another. That's already three moves!"
"..."
Clearing Wind True Man remained silent, lowering one of the three raised fingers.
So far, he had not seen any real means by which Shen Yi could justify his confidence.
Just then, Clearing Wind True Man's eyes twitched.
As the fox demon struggled free of its restraints, the dragon-phoenix bracelet on Shen Yi's right arm also shattered, and a spear over ten feet long appeared in his palm, its eerie light extending from his fingertips to cover his entire arm.
In the pitch-black night, the Ghost Tail Spear stood out strikingly.
Clearing Wind True Man's lips twitched.
He sensed a familiar presence on the spear, one that belonged to a being so formidable that even he dared not provoke.
What a character!
In the blink of an eye, the eerie light shattered all the dragon-phoenix bracelets.
Shen Yi raised his eyes to the hideous behemoth before him, its claws as large as mountains descending upon him once more.
He no longer chose to evade.
For the fox's seemingly ordinary palm strike contained the crushing force of its realm, and under that oppressive weight, there was nowhere to hide.
But Shen Yi had immersed his body in the vast demon blood, a technique to ensure his body could still function under such pressure.
He held the spear with both hands, his figure exploding forward!
On the other hand, the Qingqiu Patriarch sensed the danger, instinctively retracting its claw strike, its array shifting from offense to defense, protecting its body.
"Protect me, Spirit of the Dragon Turtle!"
In addition to the array, it hastily summoned its most proficient life-saving spell.
