Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Above the county town.

Jiang Yuanhua gave Shen Yi a deep look, no longer dallying, for the other party had secured him the most crucial time.

There was no greater rise and fall than this.

The matter was far from over; he was still the General of Qingzhou, far from the moment when he could throw in the towel and give up in despair.

His sword cleaved through the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun, tearing away the crimson fog as he rushed toward Qingzhou City!

"..."

The Howling Moon Demon King hunched, gripping the Crescent Moon Blade tightly in both palms.

The face of the youth before him was unfamiliar; it couldn't even name him, yet under its very eyes, Qingzhou had quietly gained a Primordial Grandmaster.

The Wolf King suddenly remembered the five Demon Monarchs under its command that had vanished without a trace.

It had suspected that Qingzhou was hiding a crafty warrior, but it never imagined him to be of the Primordial Realm.

It was simple logic.

If a Primordial Grandmaster was garrisoning the city, with Jiang Yuanhua's temperament, he would surely have joined forces with this man to step out of Qingzhou and slay it.

Rather than abandon Qingzhou City as he had just done, presenting a stance of utter desperation.

Of course, there was an even more important reason.

Even the Demon King knew that with the three-way alliance resisting the Thousand Demon Cave, it was Great Qian Dynasty's turn to be the main strength according to the time rotation. If there were any surplus Primordial realm experts, they would certainly be called away by the Immortal Sect to the most dangerous front lines.

"Howling Moon offers its respects."

The old wolf encircled the Crescent Moon Blade in its arms, clasped its paw over its fist, and with its mouth corners stretched in a smile, said, "I dare to ask the Grandmaster for his honored name."

Offending a Martial Immortal and a Primordial Grandmaster were completely different concepts.

Jiang Yuanhua could only hide inside Qingzhou City and curse, while this youth truly could harass him incessantly, giving no peace.

As beings at the same level, the Demon King took the initiative to salute him as an older peer, giving the other full face.

"..."

Shen Yi advanced with a step, his sleeves surging with power as he threw a punch heavy with the force of overturning seas and rivers, striking fiercely!

The Hong Mang blazed beneath his skin.

Dao Infant, a creature born from the essence of heaven and earth, had transcended the realm of the flesh.

Now, he needed not mobilize any energy; every action was at full force.

Though the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique was enormously consuming, his foundation far surpassed those of the same realm.

The cultivation and flesh transformed from countless Great Demons into demonic power, at this moment, were all channeled into his arm and clashed in front of the Howling Moon Demon King.

It squinted, raising the Crescent Moon Blade swiftly to meet the punch with a slash!

Flesh against Precious Tool!

Crack——

The formidable Crescent Moon Blade, which had taken countless heads, now shattered under the punch radiating with Hong Mang!

The ferocious demonic power swept around the Howling Moon Demon King, its complexion changed drastically as it crossed its arms in an attempt to stop the punch.

Its armor was blasted and shattered by the force, and its emaciated body toppled backward, skidding about thirty yards before stabilizing its figure.

The old wolf's gray fur bristled as its gaze swept quietly over its forearm.

The strong body of the Demon King shamed warriors.

But just one punch from the opponent had almost snapped its arm bones.

This did not seem like someone who had just broken through to the Primordial Realm!

"Impressive skill, Grandmaster... but isn't it a bit much? This king merely took a stroll inside," it said.

Noticing the shift in the situation, Howling Moon quickly averted its gaze, bearing the pain as it nonchalantly brushed off the pieces of its shattered armor.

No matter how shocked it felt inside, it absolutely must not show it on the surface.

If the young man realized he was at a major disadvantage at a time like this, it would be very difficult for him to retreat unscathed today.

"It's not I who truly wants to eradicate Qingzhou, but the lady from the Thousand Demon Cave. Jiang Yuanhua alone cannot stop her," said the Howling Moon Demon King.

It earnestly analyzed the pros and cons for the young man.

There was no deep-seated enmity between the two... And even if there was, it was certainly not caused by himself. At least until the outcome in Qingzhou City was out, it was willing to let bygones be bygones with a smile.

In this world, there was nothing that couldn't be discussed; everything was negotiable.

"There are matters of different urgency..."

Before the old wolf could finish speaking, Shen Yi, having just leveraged the momentum from his previous punch, had already gained some understanding of this entirely new realm.

Once he became familiar with it, his figure once again soared into the air, bearing down on his opponent.

The red mist in his eyes condensed into substance, and he no longer resorted to using those fancy martial arts techniques.

The mark of a Grandmaster is to return to simplicity and truth.

When the most simple Long Fist could tear apart mountains and rivers, all else became mere decoration.

His elbow heavily smashed into Howling Moon's face, sending the old wolf flying away once again, collapsing its fierce beastly face, as its sharp fangs were all shattered.

Shen Yi's figure suddenly disappeared from its original spot.

He did not have the habit of chatting with his food before eating.

In mid-air, he grasped the old wolf's neck, then slammed it forcefully towards the ground below.

The Howling Moon Demon King clamped down on the young man's wrists with its sharp claws, which were sharp enough to easily tear apart bodies of Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarchs. With all its strength, it finally penetrated Shen Yi's skin.

However, beneath the skin that was difficult to break, there was not flesh and blood, but solidified Crimson Demon Power.

The physical body was the shell, the Dao Infant the skeleton.

Howling Moon Demon King, being an aged Great Demon, did not possess the strength of its youth, but even so, it couldn't believe how frail it seemed under the young man's restraint.

But after all, it was still a Demon King.

The old wolf's eyeballs bulged out of its sockets, its demonic power converging on its claws, finally gaining a moment to breathe under that pale hand glowing with red light.

"Ao——"

It opened its bloodied, indistinct mouth and let out a long howl that was sharp and piercing!

"..."

Shen Yi's brow furrowed. Within this wolf's howl, he felt as if he was being expelled out from his own body... A Divine Skill targeted at the soul.

It could cause the Divine Soul to leave the body and thereafter disperse.

Having spent a full one thousand seven hundred years fighting with his Dao Infant Consciousness, his spiritual awareness was now far more resilient and robust than others. Yet even so, he felt a strong sense of disorientation.

He finally released his grip on Howling Moon's neck.

The old wolf's face showed signs of relief from escaping death, but it did not dare to stop its Divine Skill. Instead, it made the howling even louder!

At such a close distance, this might be its only chance to shatter the young man's Divine Soul in one fell swoop!

The next moment, Shen Yi's hand landed on the handle of his blade at his waist. As he touched the Cres cent Moon Blade, a sensation of coolness surged into his body,

As a Superior Treasure, the Crescent Moon Blade, aside from its sharpness, had only one function.

To guard the Divine Soul!

Maybe it couldn't completely ignore the Howling Moon Demon King's Divine Skill, but combined with his already formidable spiritual awareness...

Pfft!

Shen Yi held the blade with both hands, driving the fog-enshrouded blade straight down, piercing directly into the old wolf's gaping mouth, running through its oral cavity, and coming out from the nape of its neck.

Then he released the hilt and brutally threw another punch!

Bang——

The old wolf's eye sockets shattered, its face covered in blood, unable to break free, it could only instinctively attempt to strike back with its claws.
