Chapter 60: Young Flood Demon (Part 3/3)
Chapter 60: Young Flood Demon (Part 3/3)
In the dimly lit River God Temple, a tall statue stood shrouded in shadows, its benevolent face appearing slightly eerie.
A plump woman in a blue robe lay on the altar, her hands tightly gripping the edge, causing the entire table and statue to shake violently with her heaving body.
Her neck was raised, veins popping out, and beneath the layers of fat on her face, one could vaguely make out her proper features, which bore a 70% resemblance to the statue.
"Heh!"
In contrast to the River God's kindness, her facial features were contorted, her eyes rolled back, and she struggled to breathe, giving off a rather hideous vibe! Behind her, a youth with a slightly immature face glared fiercely, his upper body bare, revealing a mottled black scale pattern on his back. Countless scars crusted over in dark red, resembling spider webs covering his entire body.
The most striking feature was the small horn on his forehead, as thick as a little finger.
The youth stared intently at the River God statue, his mouth splitting open to reveal a set of sharp white fangs. "Is this you?"
"It's me!"
A long sigh escaped the woman, and the horned youth trembled slightly, grabbing her head and slamming it forcefully onto the table.
He then opened his mouth and bit into her neck, gulping down the gushing blood.
He swallowed greedily, and the wounds on his body began to heal further.
The plump woman's body convulsed, but the longing on her face intensified, as if being devoured by him was an incredibly admirable act.
"Damn! You stink of fish."
The youth's eyebrows twitched, and he wiped the corners of his mouth, clearly dissatisfied. "I want a better elixir!"
A martial artist's body contained the most concentrated essence of heaven and earth, making them the best elixirs.
The River God stood up, panting as he straightened his clothes. He then touched the wound on his neck, a mix of admiration and fear in his eyes. "The elixir is here, and it's even better than the last one. There are five of them in total, including two Jade Dew Realm ones. They're young and delicious, and I won't let them escape. I'll make sure you're satisfied."
"The usual deal, those two are mine."
The youth raised his eyebrows. "Just help me hold one of them down, and the other three Initial Realm ones are yours."
"I dare not," the River God hurriedly shook her head, her posture extremely submissive, even though her aura was still denser than the youth's.
Hearing this, the youth twisted her face. "If you want your reward, then take it."
He waved his hand. "Go."
"Yes!" The River God dragged her weak body outside...
In the bamboo courtyard, the young widow carefully ladled soup into a bowl.
After the previous incident, the madman's crazed expression had faded, and he sat quietly in the corner, sipping the fish soup in small mouthfuls.
Shen Yi sat in the courtyard, chewing on the bland fish meat.
He swallowed carefully, as if trying to dissolve every bit of nutrition from the fish into his body.
If his judgment was correct, from the moment they entered the village, they had been targeted by a demonic being.
Danger could strike at any moment.
A moment of inattention could lead to a disappearance like the previous captains, without even a chance to return their identity tokens to Qingzhou.
"Ah, I was wondering where you were. So, you're here sneaking some food."
Li Mujin strolled into the courtyard.
Seeing another Demon Subjugation Officer, especially a charming and beautiful girl, the young widow tactfully carried her bowl and left the courtyard, sitting with the madman at the entrance.
"Tasty?"
Li Mujin curiously observed the youth.
Although she didn't think he could truly defeat Fang Heng, the fact that he made Fang Heng back down was enough to show Shen Yi's extraordinary abilities. He was definitely not an ordinary Initial Realm martial artist.
Moreover, on his first mission, he was even more composed than her younger brother.
Was it a case of youthful fearlessness?
Regardless, even without witnessing the ferocity of demonic beings, his courage was remarkable.
"Remind the others to stay alert and stick together. There's a demonic being in the village."
Shen Yi swallowed the last bite of fish and looked up.
"What?"
Li Mujin paused slightly, then smiled. "You're taking charge now..."
Before she finished speaking, under Shen Yi's serious gaze, she unconsciously retracted her smile. "Alright, I'll go inform them right away."
She didn't ask how he had obtained the information.
As experienced Demon Subjugation Officers, they had to be prepared for any possibility, no matter how slim.
Li Mujin had just turned around when a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, a foul-smelling black wind appeared out of thin air, and in an instant, it swept across the sky, heading straight out of the village!
The two who had been sitting at the door just now were nowhere to be seen.
"Don't run around, go and notify Xinhan!"
Li Mujin reacted swiftly, her lazy expression vanishing from her eyes, and without a moment's hesitation, she drew her short sword and followed.
Daring to provoke the Demon Suppressing Bureau right in front of them, this was a blatant act of provocation!
Her figure suddenly darted across the muddy path, and in the blink of an eye, she had covered several dozen zhang.
Just then, Li Mujin's peripheral vision caught something, and her face changed slightly.
She saw the black robe fluttering, hair gently brushing against the wind, and Shen Yi, expressionless, holding the black blade as he ran, actually three parts faster than herself!
"Why are you following so closely! You're pretty fast."
Li Mujin held her breath, watching as the black wind disappeared into the short mountain forest by the riverbank.
With the enhancement of her Jade Dew Realm cultivation, the vast aura in her body became even more turbulent.
"I told you to go and notify them, the other party is obviously a Jade Dew Demon, and your haste won't help at all."
Before she finished speaking, Li Mujin suddenly sensed an ominous feeling and turned to look back.
She saw that outside the fishing village, the Spring River was roaring, stirring up waves ten zhang high.
At the crest of the waves, a woman in a blue robe stood barefoot.
Like the rumored River Immortal, she could submerge the entire village with a single hand.
"Damn it!"
Looking at that familiar figure.
Although she didn't understand why the other party had suddenly abandoned their peaceful life of four hundred years.
But Li Mujin's last shred of hope was rapidly fading.
Shen Yi's guess was right, not only was there a demon, but it was a prepared demonic being.
She looked towards the short forest again, but saw that both the black wind and Shen Yi had disappeared without a trace in the moment she was distracted.
"..."
"It's over."
She clenched her teeth, breathing rapidly, having done so much for the Demon Suppressing Bureau, how could she still make such a careless mistake?
And that boy, he ran too fast! Where did he get such boldness?
...
"Huff."
Shen Yi adjusted his breath, his White Ape Playing with Serpent technique, perfected to the full, was fully unleashed.
He climbed the mountain as if it were flat ground, even faster than before.
He noticed Li Mujin lagging behind and also saw the terrifying signs on the Spring River.
His mind stirred slightly, but soon calmed down.
This was an ambush targeting the Demon Suppressing Bureau's officer, probably intending to separate the Li siblings and then defeat them one by one.
Shen Yi was not an impulsive person.
On the contrary, his thoughts at this moment were exceptionally clear.
If the River God was indeed a late-stage Jade Dew Realm demonic being, the Li siblings might not be able to win even if they joined forces, let alone the fact that the black wind in front of them was also a Jade Dew Realm demon.
In this situation, even if the five of them gathered, it would be of any significance, and ultimately, someone would have to face this evil alone.
The two beasts had already prepared everything, and the reason for this extra effort was probably just to minimize the possibility of injury.
And himself, he was the only variable.
Shen Yi wouldn't bother with the villagers, nor did he care if the Li siblings could defeat the River God. In this life-and-death crisis, any hesitation would lead to death without a burial.
He forced himself to focus on the present.
Only by beheading the demonic being in front of him could he have a chance at survival.
Since it was like this—
The black blade unsheathed, gripped tightly by his slender fingers, the mountain wind howled, tugging at his black robe.
Shen Yi held the black blade and slowly stopped.
Looking at the dissipating black wind, a figure covered in black scales was revealed.
"..."
As Shen Yi's face became clear, Jiaofeng threw down the two unconscious people in his hands, his expression gradually turning agitated: "Why is it you who caught up? Are you worthy of following?"
He hadn't expected that the first to catch up would be a novice warrior.
This meant that the River God would have to deal with two Jade Dew Realm officers simultaneously.
However, there was not a trace of worry in Jiaofeng's eyes, only a hint of urgency and dissatisfaction... The urgency was due to not being able to torment and kill the young woman immediately, tasting her tender flesh filled with rich aura.
And the reason for his dissatisfaction was simple.
The officer in front of him was too weak, compared to those two treasure medicines, the opponent was so weak that it couldn't even stir his appetite.
As a dragon, not everything was worthy of being devoured by him.
