Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 191 Sunfire Arrow

"This guy is really a tough guy... But as a martial artist, how can he just accept his fate!"

Han Yi sighed, casually closed Huang An's eyelids, wiped the blood from his mouth, and made the body look more peaceful.

He had assumed that Huang An, before his death, would reveal some gold, silver, treasures, or martial arts manuals; after all, such plots were mentioned in every storybook…

After the protagonist saves a critically injured person, the injured person, in gratitude, will entrust the protagonist with things such as money hidden for many years, their family's martial arts techniques, a beautiful young widow, etc., before dying.

Unexpectedly, when it came to Han Yi, he only received a "good person" card and a single sentence: "As expected, I'm not the protagonist of this story..."

Han Yi looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, a faint sadness rising in his heart.

But then, something important pulled him back to reality.

"While there's still time, let's get rid of the yin energy in Bai Sanren and Qianxue's bodies first!"

After he got up, the first thing he prepared to do was this. Although Bai Sanren and Qianxue did not absorb much Yin energy due to his intervention, he was afraid that if he delayed for too long, there would be some aftereffects.

Without hesitation, Han Yi once again generated the power to dispel evil, slowly seeping into Bai Sanren's body. This time, having gained experience in removing the yin energy from Huang An's body, he knew exactly when to increase the force input and when to slow down.

Soon, the faint pink peach blossom mark on Bai Sanren's forehead disappeared. Han Yi did the same to remove the peach blossom mark on Qianxue's forehead.

However, at this time, the two were still unconscious and had not woken up.

It seems that the person was unconscious for too long in the illusion, and their blood and qi were still stagnant...

Han Yi checked the two people's condition several times before feeling relieved.

But now, he has no patience to wait for Bai Sanren and Qianxue to wake up. Outside, there is a great enemy waiting for him!

Whoosh!

After Han Yi put Bai Sanren and Qianxue back in their hut, he quickly went to the carriage that Huang An and his group were escorting.

Inside the stable, the smell was still unbearably foul and pungent, so Han Yi had to use all his strength to pull out the cargo wagon by itself.

As for why he didn't use nag horses, it wasn't because he wanted to deliberately show off his martial arts prowess; it was simply because the two nag horses pulling the cart had long since had their blood drained by those evil creatures!

Wow!

He suddenly ripped off the black tarpaulin covering the carriage, revealing what was inside.

"this…..."

Upon seeing what was loaded on the carriage, Han Yi couldn't help but be surprised and raised an eyebrow.

In the dim light, the helmet, shoulder armor, and skirt armor, all gleaming with a smooth black sheen, were neatly stacked together, forming a complete set of black armor!

The carriage was packed full of dozens of prohibited items that were explicitly forbidden from being sold!

No wonder Huang An and his group were so secretive and wary when they first started talking, refusing to communicate with them. Even on his deathbed, they warned him not to trade it casually to avoid being discovered.

Armor for an entire carriage—that's a big deal! These things aren't hard to make, and the cost isn't particularly high; it's just a matter of whether you dare to do it.

The saying "One armored soldier is worth three crossbowmen, and three armored soldiers can enter the underworld" is no joke.

However, shouldn't the Huang family be considered an official force in An'yan City? I heard that the patriarch, Huang Shanjun, is also the head of the patrol office...

Why buy this thing? Is it for patrol and defense purposes in the city, or is it for rebellion?

However, this had little to do with Han Yi; he was just an innocent bystander who happened to be there and was caught up in the situation.

Han Yi's main focus was not on that; all his attention was on a red lacquered box under the armor.

This red lacquered box was about two feet long and four or five inches wide. It resembled a box containing gold and silver valuables, but that wasn't the main point. The crucial element was a yellow paper talisman wrapped around the box, giving it an extremely mysterious appearance. "Such strange packaging...could it be some kind of trap or mechanism...?"

Han Yi examined it carefully. The tight packaging, plus a layer of talisman that looked like a seal, reminded him of the strange and ancient things in his previous life.

For example, a rice cooker sealed with a monster... Or a bomb that explodes after the yellow paper is peeled off...

"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad..."

Han Yi shook his head, banishing the strange thought from his mind. According to Huang An's dying wish, the box should contain something to be sent to the Department of Extraordinary Affairs.

No matter how you look at it, it should be something like a weapon!

Han Yi activated the "Qianyang Gong" technique, channeling his power into his hands. One hand protected his vital points, while the other slowly peeled off the talisman. If anything seemed amiss, he prepared to leave.

He could only be so cautious. The events of the night had already taught him a lesson: even an old hand like Huang An could easily capsize in a ditch if he wasn't careful.

Although he himself has become a martial arts master who has opened up meridians, he has only recently entered the meridian opening stage and has opened up too few meridians. He can only exert his strength through his hands.

Tear!

The yellow paper was torn off, and the vermilion lacquered nanmu wood lid was opened.

What came into Han Yi's view was three arrows.

The arrows are seventy or eighty centimeters long, with a four-sided arrowhead, wings at the tail, and are fiery red all over, exuding an imposing aura, like raging flames!

"This... doesn't look like an ordinary arrow..."

Han Yi stroked the smooth, soft feather of the unknown eagle at the end of its tail, and sighed inwardly.

Just looking at it, it's extraordinary!

Holding it in one's hand further enhances combat effectiveness...

"The Yang Flame Arrow, which counters Yin energy, is extremely powerful... but it can easily shorten one's lifespan..."

Han Yi looked at the instructions inside the box and was slightly taken aback.

Sunfire Arrow?

Extremely powerful?

Suppressing Yin energy?!

Immediately, he was overjoyed. No wonder Huang An had been trying to come to the carriage during the battle; he probably wanted to find this item.

Just now, Han Yi was still worrying about how to deal with the old peach tree. If he engaged in close combat, he was afraid that some evil trick would appear again, trapping him in an illusion; if he attacked from a distance, ordinary flames wouldn't be very effective...

This is just like a pillow coming to your head when you're sleepy—perfect timing!

"Hehe, Peach Mom... Heaven wants to destroy you, what can you do..." Han Yi sneered, holding three arrows that looked like flames in his hand, and looked outside the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard lies the center of the village, where an old peach tree, like any other tree, shivers in the cold wind!

In the middle of the village, a crooked peach tree, its withered yellow trunk twisted halfway, leans obliquely towards the red sunrise. Its messy crown and branches are uneven, with only half remaining, creating a jagged and uneven appearance.

"That's really weird..."

Han Yi shook his head for what felt like the umpteenth time, feeling somewhat helpless.

When encountering martial artists, the system can easily determine the opponent's strength and life or death, but it becomes somewhat helpless when encountering events related to Yin objects.

Such a mysterious and sinister entity with bizarre abilities will always find a way to hide itself!

scoff!

Following the instructions on the inside of the "Sunfire Arrow," Han Yi used the arrowhead to make a small cut on his fingertip, and hot, bright red blood immediately flowed into the arrow.

As the blood was absorbed, the patterns on the arrow became clearer, turning a deep crimson that seemed to drip with blood, further enhanced by the black plume…

The entire arrow is as majestic as a firebird about to take flight!

For some inexplicable reason, Han Yi seemed to feel a faint connection between himself and the arrow in his hand.

"go with!"

An idea popped into his head, and he casually raised the arrow and exerted a little force.

Whoosh!

The "Sunfire Arrow" whistled through the air and landed at the base of the peach tree in an instant.

Strangely, after the arrow landed, there was no movement for a long time.

"We can't possibly have bought fake arrows, can we..." Han Yi's temple twitched, somewhat puzzled.

boom!

Suddenly, a raging fire broke out at the point of impact. The scattered embers on the old peach tree, fueled by the dry branches in winter, spread rapidly across the tree like wildfire.

Crackling!

The sparks and oil droplets mixed together and quickly ignited the surrounding vegetation.

"Good good!"

Han Yi was not surprised but delighted and became excited. He had just tried to use fire to deal with the tree, but ordinary flames would go out as if they lacked oxygen if they landed within three zhang of it. However, the "Sunfire Arrow" could ignite the grass and trees near the peach tree, which was enough to show that it was extremely effective!

"Come again!"

Whoosh!

Han Yi, not one to let his advantage rest on his laurels, fired another arrow fueled by his blood. However, as this arrow was fired, he felt as if something was being lost from his body.

boom!

This time, after the "Sunfire Arrow" landed, the flames quickly erupted, and the fire on the peach tree spread upwards from the bottom. It was unclear whether the simultaneous firing of two arrows would provide an additional boost, but the fire spread extremely rapidly, and within a few breaths, the entire peach tree was ablaze.

The massive fire surged into the sky along the towering tree, dozens of meters high, and a wave of heat swept over us. The gloomy atmosphere around the peach tree, where a man and a woman stood, vanished instantly and never to be seen again.

"The power of the 'Sunfire Arrow' is indeed extraordinary!"

Han Yi nodded repeatedly, a satisfied look on his face.

But such great power must come at a price!

He checked the panel as soon as he realized that his life force was being lost.

[Name]: Han Yi (17/152) His age changed from 153 to 152, which means that the two "Yangyan Arrows" consumed a year of his lifespan!

No wonder Huang An and his group used this as their grand finale; things that consume lifespan must be handled with utmost care!

However, for Han Yi, a year of lifespan was nothing, but after advancing to the Meridian Opening stage, his lifespan increased by twenty years!

Not to mention, he can even increase his lifespan when he absorbs yin energy!

"Perhaps, I can find some powerful, quick-to-learn cultivation techniques that have the side effect of consuming lifespan to practice in the future..." Han Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

But this was not the time to think about future plans. He put that thought deep into his mind and focused on dealing with the scene before him.

It seems they finally couldn't bear the scorching heat any longer...

The peach tree, which had been hiding like a turtle and pretending to be an ordinary tree, seemed to have finally broken down.

Changes occur suddenly.

The peach tree, surrounded by raging flames, suddenly had a large amount of ash vapor gather around it. The ash vapor floated and gradually formed a ring of mist.

A gray, ring-shaped mist swirled rapidly, accompanied by incessant tearing and ripping sounds. The towering fire was extinguished as if struck by a flood. Only the lingering warmth and the charred, blackened bark of the trees testified to its existence.

boom!

The carbonized, jet-black roots of the peach tree writhed, and a crack was torn open with a hissing sound like a zipper, and a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the depths of the ground!

What kind of monster is this? Standing over eight meters tall, yet possessing agility disproportionate to its height.

The giant-like creature that Han Yi killed was only about three meters tall. Compared to this behemoth, it was like an insignificant toy!

The monster's upper body was covered with dark green and black tree burls. The old peach tree, which had been charred black by Da Mao, had been transformed into a wriggling tentacle hanging from its head.

As for the lower half, a huge clump of rotting tree roots, like nimble tentacles, propelled the massive body to move continuously.

What's even more unbearable is that the monster's entire body is covered in blackish-green fluid and emits a stench with hallucinogenic effects!
