Chapter 347: Turtle True Man
Chapter 347: Turtle True Man
The lion's golden mane was already stained with blood, some of it from the Silverback Ape King and some from its own wounds. The piercing wound on its chest and abdomen made it look even more ferocious.
Its robust back muscles slowly rippled as it repeatedly pulled out and thrust down the spear, not rushing but not slowing down either. The long spear in its hand seemed more like a short blade.
It kept stabbing until the black bear under its feet was completely disfigured and dead beyond recognition.
Shen Yi let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat exhausted. He casually threw the spear to the ground, making a loud clanging sound.
"Gudong."
The crisp sound of the spear hitting the ground and the sound of swallowing saliva were almost simultaneous.
The female cultivator from Xuan Guang Cave had witnessed the brutality of demons, but she had never seen such a quiet and cruel killing before.
Feeling the lion's golden eyes staring at her, she shivered. Fortunately, her master was by her side, supporting her as she mustered her courage and said with a hint of insecurity, "You're lucky you realized your mistake. Now, kneel down and surrender."
"..."
Zhang Xuanyan silently watched this scene, but out of face-saving, he did not show his astonishment.
The only reason he was suspicious of the Silverback Ape King was because of its potential connection to the Eastward Flow of Disaster.
This lion had ruthlessly killed two of its companions without hesitation, a level of cruelty that even Zhang Xuanyan couldn't match.
Would such a powerful demon sovereign really surrender obediently?
He wasn't sure.
But it was clear that the lion had suffered a serious injury.
The Silverback Ape King's full-force strike was something even Zhang Xuanyan couldn't withstand, yet the lion didn't even try to dodge. Through the terrifying piercing wound, its internal organs could be seen pulsating faintly.
"..."
Shen Yi slowly walked towards the two of them.
His towering and robust body now appeared weak and unsteady.
Finally, he reached the two of them.
Zhang Xuanyan took a deep breath and looked up indifferently.
As long as this fanged beast hadn't gone insane, it wouldn't dare to challenge him in its current state.
Just then, he raised his eyebrows.
His figure suddenly disappeared from its original spot.
Almost at the same time, a huge palm slammed down where he had been standing! With the palm as the center, the ground within sight cracked, as if countless earth dragons were writhing beneath, making the entire area look terrifying.
"So, you were holding back," Zhang Xuanyan said, hanging in the sky and looking down at the horrifying scene, his eyelids twitching slightly.
It was only after seeing this palm strike that he became more cautious.
This was definitely not the strength of a demon sovereign from the Forty-Fourth Cave. Exaggerating a bit, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and was only judging by the traces, he might have thought it was the doing of a powerful demon from the first twenty caves.
"But it's so slow."
Zhang Xuanyan shook his head, and a cold smile appeared on his lips again.
But this coldness didn't seem to come from the death of his disciple; instead, it was because he had almost been deceived by a demon.
"Demons are indeed demons. It's a waste of this precious spiritual land for you to occupy it."
"..."
Shen Yi looked up at the sky.
Although it sounded like mockery, it was indeed a fact.
The teleportation technique the demon had just used seemed ordinary, but it had already surpassed Shen Yi's understanding. Within such a short distance, even with his full-power strike, the demon managed to escape.
It was likely a technique left behind by the Nanyang Sect.
However, Shen Yi didn't underestimate himself.
After all, the body-tempering technique was just one of his many skills.
When he saw the Xuan Guang Cave cultivator, he finally had an excuse to kill the demon.
So, he no longer hesitated.
First, he would take the demon's lifespan, and then he would deal with the rest.
As for now, if it were any other cultivator, he would have turned around and left.
But this was Xuan Guang Cave...
The demon had come in this state, clearly with other intentions.
Perhaps it was looking for clues about its fallen disciple.
Shen Yi didn't want to return to Great Qian with other troubles. It would be best to resolve this issue here.
They were already enemies, and if he could take the demon's head, it would help him advance further in the Thousand Demons Cave.
"..."
Since his disguise had been seen through, there was no need to pretend anymore.
Shen Yi adjusted his aura and flew into the sky again.
He also wanted to know what level of cultivator he had become after such a significant improvement.
"Hmph."
Zhang Xuanyan saw the lion demon approaching, and his eyes filled with ridicule.
Any intelligent being would know their limits after seeing the teleportation technique he had just used.
"As expected of a demon, you don't know pain until you're beaten."
As he spoke, he lightly waved his sleeve and said, "Dark Nether Seal."
A grayish square seal was thrown from Zhang Xuanyan's sleeve, tumbling towards the ground below.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal being, ten zhang long and wide.
The intricate carvings on all four sides depicted lifelike and ferocious beasts, even their eyes could blink.
The entire seal emitted strands of baleful Yin energy.
With a mighty force, it smashed towards the lion demon!
"..."
In that instant, Shen Yi inexplicably recalled the bell in Qingfeng Zhenren's hand from their previous encounter.
Although Qingfeng Zhenren was renowned, he had not yet truly entered the Profound Spirit Late Stage.
Even if Qingqiu Laozu's strength was inferior to his, the gap was not as significant as an entire realm.
Yet, with just a shake of the bell, Qingqiu Laozu was rendered immobile.
At this moment, Shen Yi finally understood the reason.
As the seal descended, a beastly roar echoed in his ears, as if he had fallen into a freezing hell, leaving him temporarily paralyzed.
Fortunately, the immortal demon within him seemed to be provoked.
It erupted with deafening roars.
The vigorous demonic power and demonic blood boiled, as if breaking free from some shackles, and the strongest Immortal Wolf aura emerged on his arm.
Shen Yi fiercely struck with his right elbow.
The Xuan Ming Seal slowed down slightly, and surprisingly, it retreated a few feet upwards.
"..."
Zhang Xuanyan noticed this minuscule change.
A sense of unease suddenly arose within him.
The Xuan Ming Seal was his invincible weapon, yet this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.
Hurriedly, he reached out again, and a white whip fell into his palm. He then lashed out fiercely towards the figure beneath the Xuan Ming Seal.
"Vile beast, dare you struggle!"
As the words echoed in the air, Shen Yi's originally golden eyes finally returned to normal.
Accompanied by a phoenix cry,
his eyes flashed with brilliance, as if capable of perceiving all things.
His left hand swiftly and accurately grasped the incoming whip, but it still wrapped around his arm. The whip seemed to have a bone-melting effect, and upon slight contact, his entire arm quickly began to rot.
It was known that after breaking through the Profound Spirit Stage, this seemingly flesh-and-blood body was actually formed by the condensation of heavenly qi.
Rather than melting blood, it was more like melting spirit.
Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged, and a red light, far more dazzling than before, enveloped his arm.
After Nan Ke Xian's transformation, he had also become much stronger than before.
Regardless of anything else, at least this whip was now his.
With this thought, he pulled on the whip with all his might while withstanding the Xuan Ming Seal.
This was the first time Zhang Xuanyan truly felt the terrifying force.
He was pulled down without any resistance.
In his anger and surprise, he still couldn't bear to let go of his treasure, gripping the wooden handle of the whip tightly: "Let go quickly!"
Zhang Xuanyan's mind wavered, causing the Xuan Ming Seal to lose its support of spiritual power.
Boom! Shen Yi struck out with another punch, sending the seal flying.
With even greater force, he pulled the whip, bringing the person at the other end along with it.
Zhang Xuanyan finally reacted, gritting his teeth and letting go. He then used his teleportation technique to disappear from the spot.
However, as soon as he reappeared, a whip shadow struck from behind, coiling around his neck like a venomous snake.
"Ahh!"
Instinctively, Zhang Xuanyan reached for his neck, but as soon as he touched it, his palm and neck began to dissolve simultaneously.
The pain made him howl miserably.
Fortunately, he hadn't lost his sanity. He quickly formed hand seals.
The dark robe on his body suddenly moved without wind, forming a thin layer of light on the surface of his skin.
Taking this opportunity to catch his breath, he drew out a long sword and pointed at it, causing countless sword shadows to appear in the sky, each emitting a terrifying sharpness.
They all slashed towards the lion demon!
"..."
Shen Yi finally retracted the whip, and his figure burst forth.
Even with such a swift reaction,
Several terrifying gashes still appeared on his body.
This time, it wasn't disguised with the Shape Transformation Technique.
The peacock's red glow swiftly covered him, and Shen Yi looked into the distance, feeling speechless: "..."
Zhang Xuanyan had already used a bronze bell to enclose him tightly, like a turtle retracting into its shell.
Until now,
Shen Yi still hadn't seen him use any other techniques besides teleportation.
Was this enormous reputation solely built upon his reliance on treasures?
"That's enough, you can leave now!"
Zhang Xuanyan's voice, filled with forced calm, echoed from within the bronze bell.
In response, Shen Yi leaped into the air and delivered a whip kick.
The entire bell exploded towards the sky under that vast force.
Leave? With just your turtle shell?
