Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 112 What did you smell_1

[In the six hundred twenty-third year, you will have perfected the first half of the Life and Death Zen Body, faintly stepping over that threshold...]

[Remaining lifespan from the demon: Six hundred forty-three years]

Looking at the familiar description, Shen Yi turned off the panel.

He had already personally tested its effects on the abbot of Vajra Gate, so there was no need for this thing to give another vague introduction.

A flash of dark and light colors swept across his skin and disappeared.

He slightly clenched his fist to feel it, and sure enough, it was as he had guessed.

With the enhancement of the demon's natural talent and the Bodhi Vajra Body, his physical body had already surpassed the boundaries of the Jade Liquid Realm. Now, this half of the Life and Death Zen Body had finally made up for the last of the differences.

Now all he lacked was the Demon Crystal to attempt to deduce the complete Condensation Elixir Tempering Method.

He figured that each of the Tiger Demons had already chosen their targets, so continuing to stay at the Deng Family's household would be meaningless.

Shen Yi picked up his Ceremonial Blade and then rose to walk toward the door.

Inside the hall.

The youth in the ink-colored robe had become the mainstay, and his sudden movement threw the already disquieted crowd into further panic, the scene from before vivid in their minds once again.

"Demon, come out! We have already seen you!"

The many martial artists of the Deng Family immediately looked outside and shouted loudly, even Lin Rou began to doubt her own judgment. She had been using the art of energy perception all along and had not felt any demonic aura, yet she was still on edge, ready to act at any moment.

Soon they saw Shen Yi walking into the rain, reaching out to grab the corpse of a Tiger Demon.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Rou asked subconsciously.

"Just taking a stroll," Shen Yi replied casually as he took a step forward, his figure sweeping through the air and blending into the darkness of the night sky.

In an instant, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Going out... for a stroll?

Inside the hall, whether it was the old and young of the Deng Family or the group of martial artists, all were dumbstruck with wide eyes.

Under that recent event, the slight sense of safety they had just felt dissipated the moment Shen Yi left.

"Is Brother Lin not going to bother with us anymore?"

Deng Mingxu tried to suppress the trembling of his legs, attempting to appear composed, but the panic in his voice could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.

"There was never a 'Brother Lin' to begin with," Lin Rou rolled her eyes, her mood irritated as she pulled out a small Bronze Bell with her hand.

Seeing the Bronze Bell, a few more experienced martial artists were briefly stunned, and then despair filled their eyes, "A demon catcher..."

Being from a locally well-known family, they were not unfamiliar with rumors of demon catchers.

In the eyes of these people, the lives of commoners were far less important than seeking demons to subdue. Besides, the catchers had no ties to the Deng Family, so why would they stay around just because of a word from an elder?

"Let's be clear, if we encounter a demon that's too powerful to defeat, I'm not going to help you guys," Lin Rou sighed, wearily sitting down in the seat of honor.

They had not even managed to collect the scents of a few Tiger Demons, and they could only guess at the realm the enemies were in. It wasn't worth losing their lives for a bit of merit.

Moreover, in a place as large as Yong'an City, trying to find two Tiger Demons hidden in the dark wouldn't be so easy.

"If we can't find them, it might not be a bad thing, at least we won't lose our lives."

Lin Rou was quite self-aware. Although Shen Yi might not be on the same level as Elder Jiang or Xiao Qiangwei, what he was going to do was definitely not something she could meddle in or instruct.

...

Yong'an City.

Years of tranquility were so fragile that they could be shattered by just a few demons.

Shen Yi stood atop a high roof and saw that the government office was brightly lit, countless officials clutching their useless steel blades as they moved through the streets, pale and fearful.

The Silver Bell at his waist kept ringing incessantly.

Dozens of demon catchers were tirelessly exchanging information, striving to follow the trail in pursuit, all for the sake of obtaining a trace of essence from the cubs of the Mountain Lord.

The Colonel of the Demon-suppression Bureau who presided over the area had led his forces in full strength, desperately trying to control the situation.

However, wails rose up from all directions, and it was impossible to discern their sequence.

Nearly every cry represented the devouring of some famous expert in the martial world.

The entire city had suddenly become a hunting ground for demons to indulge in wanton enjoyment.

"..."

Shen Yi retracted his gaze, no longer paying attention to the chaotic information in the bronze bell.

He now roughly understood why the Demon-suppression Bureau controlled the Condensation Elixir Method so stringently.

Once involved in this domain, not to mention a common county town, even Yong'an City, which was not small by any means, had no power to resist.

The demon causing such upheaval most likely overwhelmed these demon hunters in terms of realm, and likewise, it wasn't something he, with even less experience, could find.

If nothing unexpected happened, the outcome this time should be the same as last time—the other party would leave contentedly after having its fill.

"Choose the Leopard King?"

Shen Yi's lips pursed slightly.

The next moment, the aura of someone at the Complete Realm of the Jade Liquid Boundary was released without any attempt to hide it.

In that instant, he became the most enticing Human Body Elixir in the whole of Yong'an City! The rich and sweet Jade Dew, derived from heaven and earth, stored within the qi sea!

Then, without any hesitation, the Sun Melting Furnace inside him, composed of countless dark red veins, slowly opened up.

The ferocious aura of the Fiendish External Elixir gradually spread under Shen Yi's control, exuding a demonic energy slightly higher than the Jade Liquid Boundary.

He picked up the tiger's corpse and turned to sweep towards the outskirts of the city.

The alternating emergence of two completely opposite auras was so striking in Yong'an City, visible only when one exerted all their strength.

Shen Yi played the role of Human Body Elixir on one hand and a ferocious demon pursuing his kill on the other.

At the same time, he exercised the Turtle Breath Technique, gradually reducing the aura of the Jade Dew as if it was significantly depleted during an escape for life. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Since there's a competitive relationship and the number of masters in the city is limited,"

"Then the most succulent prey, undoubtedly, would not be willingly left to fall into a colleague's hands."

The dark figure moved sporadically, bolted out of the city, deliberately waiting a while before stepping onto the hills.

He hung the corpse of the Tiger Demon on a tree.

Shen Yi fully utilized the perfected Turtle Breath Technique; while he still stood in place, his presence vanished without a trace in an instant.

He leaped onto a tall tree and looked down indifferently at the area below.

The ink-black night sky was torn by white lightning, illuminating the calm face of the young man, whose deep eyes held not a hint of impetuousness.

He casually held the handle of his sword, much like an old man holding his fishing rod.

"..."

The sound of the wind and rain was abrupt and hurried.

Then it suddenly stopped.

Behind the huge tree with the large tiger corpse hung, a paw slowly crept out, and a formidable body emerged from the darkness, its back arched high, muscular lines bulging as if they were cast from fine iron.

Even hunched over, its whole body was a good six meters tall,

Its slit pupils shone with light, as it stared at the close-by corpse, no anger in its eyes, rather a sneer surfaced: "Died well, you fool who didn't know the rules."

Such a robust Human Body Elixir was not something those scraping together leftovers behind it could covet.

At that moment, an even broader arm gently rested on its shoulder, the voice hoarse: "Since it's so nice, why don't you keep it company."

The two large tiger heads looked at each other: "Hiss!"

Almost simultaneously, bloodstained fangs flashed, still somewhat unstable, but the vast aura that clearly belonged to the Condensation Elixir Realm clashed fiercely.

After a moment, the larger Tiger Demon smiled viciously and lifted its head: "Are you planning to continue trembling in the tree with your severe injuries, hoping that we would kill each other, then you can run away like a dog in a panic?"

It released its hold on its brethren, staring into the distance at the treetops, its expression tinged with mockery: "Come out, I've already smelled you."

Before the voice even faded, an uncertain voice suddenly rang out from behind the two Tiger Demons.

"Ah?"

Accompanying the voice was the intense pain of a blade entering the back.

On the lofty back of the Tiger Demon, a Black Blade silently sunk in, the robust muscles tightly gripping the Black Blade, yet failing to prevent blood from being drawn into it.

"Roar!"

Under the agonizing pain, the large Tiger Demon's fur stood on end, it swung its head furiously, and let out a frenzied roar!

A swirl of dark robes followed, the handsome young man released the handle of the knife, and his hand shining with a dark glow was sharply slapped down!
