Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

"Roar!"

The Giant Lion finally resisted a series of bombardments, only to look up and see the wide, blood-red sword slashing over again.

It raised its two front paws to block, but felt a chill at the back of its neck.

Shen Yi stepped on its bloody shoulder blades, his five fingers resting on the hilt, as the Abyssal Longblade swept down. The drifting black mist was abruptly stretched out, like a thick ink splattering in the air!

Ch-rip!

The Azure-faced Giant Lion's sturdy demonic body, which had even withstood previous True Intent and arrows, seemed as vulnerable as tofu before the icy blade.

A fountain of blood surged up like a geyser.

Shen Yi, with his blade in hand, cleaved through the Demon's most formidable defense, allowing the azure light to unleash its maximum effect.

Invisible ripples spread out, parting its muscles and bones.

The Dual Polarity Dragon-Tiger Dao Sword, while not as sharp as the Abyssal blade, had the advantage in size. It repeatedly hacked into the Lion's body, nearly splitting it in two.

Immediately after, the young man plunged his longblade into the lion's forehead, his hands tightly grasping the mane and flesh at the split of its neck, and with a powerful burst from his arms, he sought to tear the head off the Giant Lion's body by sheer force!

The formidable and terrifying beast now struggled in horror.

But the more it resisted, the more its connecting flesh tore, and it was on the verge of having its body separated from its head.

Just then.

Suddenly, an ugly face that covered the sky appeared on the horizon, with messy mane, deep azure wrinkled skin, a gaping mouth, and sharp fangs!

Shen Yi glanced down.

Indeed, the Lion Demon had broken free from the illusion, its expression now fierce, the lion's head phantom in the sky clearly the work of its own hands.

In the next moment, a fierce wind suddenly blew from the giant lion's head mouth.

Sturdy trees were uprooted, and everything in the mountain ravine was blown around!

"..."

Shen Yi continued to focus on tearing apart the lion's head in his hands.

The wind howled wildly, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

It contained an inexplicable chill. Upon contact with the skin, it did not bring any bone-chilling cold, but instead caused the Sea of Qi and the acupoints to feel as though they were being frozen, slowing down the movement of breath within the inner core to a fraction of its normal speed.

It directly influenced the Sea of Qi and the meridians through the body.

This method was downright bizarre.

But, really, it was still manageable.

After all, he was a Refinement Martial Arts Master. If he was not allowed to use the inner core, then so be it.

"Stop!"

The Lion Demon had no time to wonder why its cold wind technique had no effect at all on the young man's actions.

The towering figure had already rushed over hastily.

The cold wind should be used in conjunction with deathly rain. The former targeted the Sea of Qi, and the latter eroded muscles and bones.

If it really allowed its brother to die at the other's hands,

its own strength would be greatly diminished.

In its wide paw, a large spear about twelve feet long suddenly appeared. It was an entirely dark red color, with the spear body and tip seamlessly integrated, spiraling like a red python in its grasp.

The lengthy spear, when held by the Lion Demon, was just the right size, paired with its bright silver armor, it was indeed imposing!

It leapt into the air and thrust the overpowering spear with full force!

Shen Yi briefly let go with one hand, his eyes sparking with intensity. Under the Golden Eagle's vision, the red point of the incoming spear seemed incredibly slow. He casually slapped it away, altering the spear's direction, piercing straight through the Giant Lion's back.

"Ao!"

The Giant Lion let out a final wail before being completely torn apart by Shen Yi!

Watching his brother die such a gruesome death,

The surging wave of blood reddened the eyes of the Lion Demon. It swiftly pulled out the spear and viciously lunged forward.

Words were no longer necessary at this moment; life and death would be decided by the weapons in their hands!

Shen Yi stepped aside to avoid the strike and smoothly unsheathed the Abyssal Longblade before slashing down with equal ferocity.

There was only the ringing of metal.

The dark red spear couldn't withstand even a breath's time before being directly severed by the longblade.

The azure-faced Lion Demon was clearly astonished; its spear was a Divine Weapon bestowed by the Howling Moon Demon King. What kind of Precious Tool was this young man wielding?!

However, it wasn't given much time to ponder.

The longblade, shrouded in black mist, continued its unstoppable trajectory towards its heart.

The Lion Demon attempted to block with the broken spear, but the remaining half of the spear's shaft was cut once more. It then instinctively reached out to grab the blade and its palm split open instantly as the cold blade easily pierced its chest.

The reason it wasn't cleaved into two was that it finally reacted, holding onto Shen Yi's forearm with dear life!

"..."

Shen Yi slightly furrowed his brows.

Deserving of its power that could overwhelm those in the Dao Fetus realm, its strength was comparable to his, in his sixth transformation as an Immortal Demon, and perhaps even stronger.

"Stop messing around," Shen Yi said.

"I'm not messing around!" the Lion Demon almost shattered its teeth from clenching.

"Let go, and I'll take you to see that Rabbit Demon," Shen Yi advised in a soft voice.

"I don't fucking believe you!" The Lion Demon struggled to push Shen Yi's arm away, convinced that, with Shen Yi's tactics, Madam White Jade could not possibly be alive.

Just as it finally managed to slightly extract the blade from its chest, before it could even catch its breath,

it watched as dense demonic power surged around Shen Yi.

"..."

Although the presence of the Yin wind made it difficult to mobilize energy, it wasn't entirely impossible.

Under the augmentation of this demonic power, the balance between the two was instantly shattered.

With a squelching sound—

Shen Yi easily severed the Lion Demon's body and quickly seized its Demon Core before it had the chance to revert to its original form.

[Slain Embrace Pill Realm Azure-faced Lion Demon, total lifespan of eight thousand nine hundred years, remaining lifespan of three thousand three hundred years, absorption complete]

[Slain Embrace Pill Realm Azure-faced Lion Demon, total lifespan of eight thousand six hundred years, remaining lifespan of three thousand four hundred years, absorption complete]

Only after seeing the two notifications on the panel,

did Shen Yi finally relax.

Facing two Embrace Pill Realm Demon Lords simultaneously did put quite a lot of pressure on him.

He carefully collected the essence blood of the two Demons and took out the other Lion's Demon Core as well. Grabbing onto one of the bodies, he activated the Xiaoyao Riding the Wind Technique again and vanished from the spot.

Given the commotion, if it were to actually draw the Howling Moon Demon King here, that would be troublesome.

It would be better to recalculate once inside Qingzhou's borders.

Things were going smoother than Shen Yi had anticipated; he might still be able to make it back in time for a late-night snack.

Lin Baiwei said she had something to discuss, but he wondered what it could be.

...

Arriving at the edge of Tingyang County, back to the small stream from earlier,

Shen Yi dropped the two huge Lion Demons' carcasses.

Decisively opening the panel,

he had originally planned to break through with the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Devouring, but he found the Lion's Divine Skills to be quite useful, making it a good candidate for his seventh transformation's material.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Seventeen thousand eight hundred ninety-five years]

Shen Yi bit down on the Demon Core, directing the Demon lifespan into his martial arts.

When it came to Demonic Martial Arts, even a lifespan of tens of thousands of years suddenly didn't seem so plentiful anymore.
