Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

"Indeed..."

A'Qian's small hands were clenched tightly around the Golden Silk Net, her teeth gritted as she stared at the bronze mirror in the sky.

She had had a premonition ever since she overheard the conversation between the Howling Moon Demon King and the Ox Demon.

Even though they needed the help of a lesser demon king to deal with Qingzhou,

Howling Moon's posture seemed far too submissive.

This arrogant Ox Demon likely came from a demon force outside of the Great Qian Dynasty, and such demons with powerful backing must have some means to save their own lives.

Perhaps, behind it stood a being even more terrifying than the Demon King.

However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for Qingzhou.

A'Qian wanted to escalate the situation, to let the Martial Temple know that it was not just Qingzhou at stake, and not a defeat they could temporarily tolerate.

The arrival of a powerful Great Demon from the outside would mean something entirely different.

Because no one knew whether they were just coming for revenge, or if they intended to take down Great Qian in the process and continue to erode the already limited living space of the Immortal Sect, leaving them flanked by enemies.

If it involved that level, Mysterious Light Cave and Wutong Mountain would have no more excuses to remain uninvolved, as nominally, the Great Qian Dynasty and these two forces were still allied.

And defending the exterior was something they had to do.

Qingzhou was a door to the Great Qian Dynasty, and in turn, Great Qian was used by them as a gate to stop the invasion of demons.

The successive falls of the twelve Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators of the Martial Temple, coupled with the injury of the old ancestor, had finally turned the once stable alliance into a situation with two masters and a watchdog.

Primordial Grandmasters were being called away to serve the Immortal Sect en masse.

Even asking for help had to rely on such a bold and brash momentum... If Jiang Yuanhua dared not flip the table, she, A'Qian, would do it!

To hell with it, if we're going to die, we'll die together.

First, kill the lesser demon king, and after Jiang Qiulan makes his breakthrough, then slay Howling Moon, striving for a timing difference. As for the even more terrifying demon, leave that headache for the Martial Temple and the Immortal Sect to deal with.

This was the only chance for Qingzhou to avoid disaster.

Even if the probability was very small, it was still more reliable than watching the lesser demon king make a breakthrough, then witnessing Qingzhou being slaughtered significantly, and finally waiting for that group of Primordial Grandmasters to return exhaustedly to clean up the so-called aftermath.

Now only one problem remained.

A'Qian reached out and pulled out a red-tasseled spear from the Golden Bell at her waist, five times longer than her entire body.

"Kill!"

The tiny figure suddenly leaped up, stabbing the spearpoint, twinkling with cold light, towards the lesser demon king!

Simultaneously, Shen Yi also streaked across the sky, his Abyssal Longblade viciously cleaving towards the Ox Demon's brow, while the Profound Ice Jade Dragon followed right behind him, roaring and biting at its throat!

All three were veterans at slaying demons and would not stand idly by while the Ox Demon used its Precious Tool.

In an instant, several piercing metallic collision sounds rang out.

A set of armor appeared on the robust body of the lesser demon king.

The reason why it was said to appear,

was because the armor was not assembled but appeared fragmented, divided into more than ten pieces, floating around the body, overall presenting an ancient and weighty bronze texture, engraved with fine patterns, with no light surging, just quietly encircling its body.

The spear struck the shoulder armor, and its straight shaft suddenly bent, emitting a series of mournful wails under the tremendous force.

The Profound Ice Jade Dragon was stopped by a chest armor piece, the dense sword intent only leaving white marks on it before they shattered.

Only Shen Yi's longblade fiercely chopped down, leaving a deep notch on another hastily approached shoulder armor piece!

The lesser demon king calmly rose from the ground.

His face bore a horrifying wound, one of the horns on his head also broken off, yet encircled by the bronze armor, he seemed even more majestic and fierce than before.

He slightly clenched his fist, and the Ring-Headed Greatsword quickly rose into the air, falling into his broad hands.

The red cloud excels at fleeing; the greatsword is unstoppable, armor heavily defended.

With such a noble status, its family had made extremely thorough preparations before it left home.

"Roar!"

Expressionless, the lesser demon king exhaled a puff of white breath.

His gaze swept over the scars on the armor, and it was clear who posed the greatest threat.

With a slight movement of his divine will.

The bronze mirror hanging in the sky turned its direction.

"This king has always harbored thoughts for Jiang Qiu Lan, yet I've overlooked the existence of a warrior like you in Qingzhou."

The minor demon king looked indifferently down at the young man in profound armor: "That blade of yours is not bad, now it's time for this king to show my foundation."

As the voice faded, a beam of faint light suddenly cascaded down from the mirror.

"..."

Shen Yi had faced such backgrounded demons before.

The fox demon from Qingqiu also had numerous Precious Tools at her disposal, but when compared to the ox demon before him, she seemed somewhat poor.

The Abyssal Longblade that could breach the body of a demon king was first intercepted by the ring-headed greatsword, then blocked by the bronze armor; this could only mean both were Superior Treasures.

Given that, this bronze mirror couldn't be far behind.

With that thought, Shen Yi turned into a breeze and disappeared from the spot, only to reappear beside the ox demon. As he was about to bring down his blade, he found that the faint light cast from the mirror was still enveloping him.

It was like a thin veil, trapping his entire body within.

The next moment, a fierce golden radiance emerged from the mirror.

Following the direction pointed by the faint light, it burst forth!

Boom!

The dense golden light coalesced into a column, enveloping the young man in profound armor completely.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Under that terrifying and suffocating pressure, A'Qian and Wu Feng only felt their field of vision becoming distorted.

Jiang Qiu Lan stared silently at the golden light, her palm suddenly clenched tight, and the re-converging Profound Ice Jade Dragon, in a far crazier demeanor than before, slammed into the bronze mirror with a bang!

Endless silver needles surged from her body, then merged into the jade dragon!

Bang! Bang!

The bronze mirror shook violently, on the verge of shattering, and was forced to divert half of its golden light to deal with the jade dragon.

"Have you forgotten about this king?"

The minor demon king revealed a ferocious smile. As its majestic eight-zhang-tall body began to run, the ground cracked, spreading a dense pattern of cracks like that of porcelain.

It raised the ring-headed greatsword high in its hand.

The Profound Ice Jade Dragon didn't bother with defense, and Jiang Qiu Lan didn't cast her gaze towards the ox demon; she simply gazed silently at the mirror, silently counting in her heart the number of hits needed to shatter it.

With her agility, there was no need to concentrate on anything superfluous.

Just one more hit...

A hint of coldness surged in her eyes, the Dao Infant in her inner core was again pierced through by several silver needles. Under the excruciating pain, the Dao Infant emitted a piercing scream.

More sword intent condensed beside her.

"Hiding another move?" The bronze armor could block the strikes of blades and axes but not that bone-chilling cold. The minor demon king felt his entire body become sluggish, and his movements grew increasingly slow.

It felt a twitch in its eyelids. Even with so many Precious Tools at its disposal, it still wasn't entirely confident it could slay the opponent.

The minor demon king gripped the handle of its greatsword desperately, attempting to swing it down.

Just then, a slender hand emerged from the golden light, its fingers grasping the edge of the mirror. The mirror struggled furiously, but still, the hand steadily pulled it down.

Forcefully putting the large bronze mirror into a silver pocket.

Shen Yi's entire body was clad in shattered profound armor, and chillingly large wounds were visible on his robust body, deep enough to reveal bone and internal organs quivering slightly. However, under the nourishment of the Hong Mang, they were visibly healing at a rapid pace.

Even the Body Refining of the seventh stage of demon transformation couldn't withstand that golden light.

Indeed a fine item.

He tore off the remnants of his upper profound armor and glanced sideways at the Ox Demon.

Then he burst into action.

His solid arm stretched out, his palm pressing against the minor demon king's forehead.

A fierce distortion surfaced on the handsome face of the young man.

Rumbling——

Under that unimaginably powerful force, the minor demon king's entire body was pressed down to the ground without any resistance!
