Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 140 Li Kui

Following the address given by Manager Liu, Han Yi arrived at an alley in Chang Le Fang.

This is Feng Yingying's residence. Han Yi plans to come here first to investigate.

"system!"

He muttered to himself, preparing to check his own information first.

Name: Han Yi (16/119)

[Realm]: Early stage of Blood Refinement (22/100); Sword Realm: One kill in ten steps; Blade Realm: As heavy as a mountain

[Cultivation Techniques]: Yang Yuan Gong (Incomplete, Trait: Rejuvenation, Minor Success 5/50, Upgradeable); Jade Bone Gong (Mortal Rank, Trait: Strengthening Bones, Protection, Major Success, Cannot be Upgraded) [Martial Arts]: Thunder Palm Technique (High-Grade Yellow Rank, Trait: Shattering Stones and Splitting Earth, Frenzied Strike, Minor Success (1/50), Upgradeable); Flying Swallow Leg (Low-Grade Yellow Rank, Trait: Gale, Minor Success (9/50), Upgradeable); Dual Blade and Sword Killing (Low-Grade Profound Rank, Trait: Concentration, Dual Wielding, Proficiency (5/30), Upgradeable); Body Transformation Technique (Low-Grade Yellow Rank, Major Success, Trait: Bone Shrinking and Disguise)

[Elemental Power Value]: 56

Then, he glanced at his overall stats again: '80~109'.

When he came to "Liu's Rice Shop" today, he only collected the usual amount of silver and did not bring the Xuan Tie sword. He only brought spiked gauntlets, but that should be enough!

"The second shop on the left, that should be it..."

Han Yi quickly arrived at a large black lacquered door. He stopped and listened intently, but there was no sound. Then he looked into the doorway. Inside, Feng Yingying and Daoist Jiang Xiu stood in front of the main house, their faces full of resentment, seemingly whispering something to each other.

'I didn't expect them both to be here; it saves me a lot of trouble!'

Han Yi reached out and pushed the door, only to find it unlocked. He was slightly taken aback, then darted through the crack in the door and rushed inside.

"This time, we must ask the incense master to take action and teach that arrogant Liu woman a lesson!"

Feng Yingying gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

"Hmph, you messed up this deal. Go ahead and complain..."

Jiang Xiu snorted coldly and said unhappily.

Just then, the two of them suddenly heard the door open and quickly turned around to look at the doorway.

call out!

But then, everything went black before their eyes, they lost consciousness, and their bodies slumped down like noodles.

After Han Yi activated his "Flying Swallow Kick," his speed was incredibly fast. How could two women with only ordinary strength possibly react in time? He casually patted the back of their heads, and the two women fainted.

puff!

Han Yi quickly caught the two of them and gently placed them on the ground.

"Who?"

There was someone inside?

Han Yi was startled; he had no idea that there was someone else inside the house.

Moreover, his voice was so soft and his movements were so swift that this person still noticed him. This person must be a master!

How should we deal with this?

Han Yi's mind raced; he felt like he was caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

boom!

Before Han Yi could make a decision, suddenly, the sturdy vermilion and gold-plated mahogany door shattered, and a man rushed out from it.

The man was burly and wore a black and white outfit with a dark green cloth strip around his arm. He had rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick forearms.

After rushing out, he first glanced discreetly at Jiang Xiu and Feng Yingying, who were lying on the ground, and then squinted at Han Yi.

“Friend, is there some misunderstanding? I am Zhu Tong, a member of the ‘Valley God Sect.’ Our sect usually only does good deeds such as saving lives and punishing evil, and we abhor making enemies.”

The man who called himself Zhu Tong was quite polite, and he clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute.

"I am Li Kui!"

"Oh, you're not those scum from the 'Black Tiger Gang'? Damn it, those bastards dared to trick me in the gambling den!"

Since Zhu Tong didn't start fighting right away, Han Yi naturally had to use his disguised identity as Li Kui to deal with him.

Zhu Tong's overall strength is '61~82', making him a mid-stage Blood Refinement martial artist, close to the late stage of Blood Refinement.

Although Han Yi was confident that he could defeat him, the main concern was that this was someone else's territory. If he wasn't certain of defeating the enemy in one move, the enemy's reinforcements would keep coming in, and with so many ants, even an elephant could be killed. In that case, he would be the one who suffered.

After careful consideration, Han Yi decided to back down. After all, it was Li Kui who came to his door, what did it have to do with him, Han Yi?

'Li Kui?'

Zhu Tong's gaze was deep; he had never heard of this person in the Chang Le Fang area.

Judging from his long, steady breath, slow heartbeat, tall stature, and muscular build, he must be quite strong, at least a Blood Refining stage martial artist.

'But if someone possesses such strength and has such distinctive physical features, how could they possibly be an unknown individual?'

Therefore, although this person is wearing a bamboo hat and his face is not visible, he must be using an alias!

"Therefore, the person who injured me, left an alias, and hid himself—Li Kui is definitely here to cause trouble on purpose; it's definitely not a misunderstanding as he claims!"

No wonder Zhu Tong became the incense master; in just a few breaths, he guessed the ins and outs of the matter with almost perfect accuracy!

"If you ask me, since it's a misunderstanding, then I'll be leaving now!"

Seeing that Zhu Tong hadn't spoken for a while, Han Yi pretended to be impatient and made a move to leave.

call out!

"Don't rush, friend!" Zhu Tong was also quite skilled, and he stepped in front of Han Yi first, closing the door behind him.

"Friend, you've come from afar, so why don't you sit here for a while and wait for the two people over there to wake up so we can verify the truth?"

Zhu Tong pointed at Jiang Xiu and Feng Yingying, who were lying in the middle of the courtyard, and said in a sinister tone.

He had a plan: this place was a stronghold of the "Valley God Sect" in Chang Le Fang. If he delayed for a long time, many helpers would come, and it would be easier to capture Li Kui!

"Damn it, I, Li Kui, can go wherever I want!"

Han Yi pretended to be impatient and turned to leave.

boom!

Zhu Tong stretched out his thick arm, blocking Han Yi's path.

"A good dog doesn't block the way, get your filthy hands off me!" Han Yi glared, looking every bit the brute.

However, Han Yi sighed inwardly. Judging from this, Zhu Tong didn't want him to leave at all; his words just now were merely an excuse…

To determine who is stronger and who is weaker, a battle is inevitable before the matter can be settled!

"Hmph, hmph..."

"Friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you feeling guilty...?"

Zhu Tong sneered. Seeing the burly man named Li Kui's flustered behavior, he was even more certain that there must be something wrong with Li Kui!

"Who are you calling a thief?"

Han Yi became agitated and started shouting.

"I already said it was a misunderstanding, I mistook you for someone else, take your hand away!" His voice rose again.

"Misunderstanding... Friend, I think you're deliberately trying to cause trouble!" Zhu Tong's face turned cold. Even after saying all this, Li Kui was still being stubborn.

Under the clear blue sky, in their own backyard, there were two living, breathing people. How could they possibly mistake one for the other? Besides, Li Kui was wearing a straw hat and his face was covered. It was obvious that he had come prepared. How could he claim it was a misunderstanding?

That's obviously just an excuse!

'We've stalled for time enough. Li Kui may be strong, but he's not very bright. Why would he do something like this while masked and using a false name? It's only suspicious in broad daylight!'

'However, no matter how strong he is, he's probably not much different from me—just a muscle-bound brute. Let's take him down first!'

Zhu Tong focused his energy in his dantian and slowly assumed a stance, his steps subtly forming a V-shape. He had already tested the other person's strength from that collision.

‘Damn it! ’

Han Yi cursed inwardly. He had already seen through Zhu Tong's little tricks, and it was clear that a fight was inevitable today.

Most importantly, Zhu Tong just locked the black lacquered door, which must be...

They probably wanted to wait for reinforcements, treating Han Yi like a sitting duck!

'If that's the case, then let's finish this quickly!'

Han Yi became even more vigilant.

"Damn it, I've already said good dogs don't block the way, but you're still nagging here and won't let me pass. You must be a vicious dog!"

Even now, Han Yi tries his best to maintain Li Kui's image as a muscular brute, so that others will look down on him.

"A vicious dog deserves to be beaten!"

Han Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and he lunged forward.

An iron palm struck Zhu Tong hard in the chest.

Just then, Zhu Tong had also assumed a horse stance and gathered his strength.

"I knew you weren't a good person!" "Rolling Stone Fist!"

Zhu Tong grinned maliciously. His punch traveled from the ground beneath his feet to his body, then concentrated the power in his fist, making it extremely powerful.

Boom!

The two exchanged blows face-to-face.

Fist and palm collided, and both men took a step back, their faces showing surprise.

Although Han Yi only used 60% of his strength in this palm strike as a test, it was actually blocked by Zhu Tong.

Just now, he felt Zhu Tong's fist was like an iron hammer, and a powerful force surged from it, striking his palm and forcefully blocking his "Thunder Palm".

Zhu Tong was also surprised.

He had already assumed a horse stance, and this "Rolling Stone Fist" was delivered with preparatory power, yet he couldn't gain the upper hand.

As the leader of the "Grain God Sect", he immediately realized that the opponent's strength was not much different from his own.

Regardless of Li Kui's motives, he is definitely a formidable enemy!

At that moment, Zhu Tong took a step back and slowly began to stroll with Han Yi.

"Friend, are you from the 'Eight Gates' or the 'Plum Blossom Hall'?"

He spoke cautiously, his tone suddenly softening.

Not long ago, the "Cult of Grains" suddenly changed its strategy of lying low and developing, and the cult's leaders asked them to expand to Chang Le Fang.

Although Changningfang is similar to Changlefang in that no major power governs its territory, it is mostly inhabited by merchants and wealthy families, making it much richer than the slum of Changningfang.

Therefore, there are also quite a few powerful smaller factions in this area.

"Eight Gates" and "Plum Blossom Hall" are the two tough nuts to crack that the "Valley God Sect" is currently encountering when it enters Chang Le Fang!
