Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 194 Trap

"So much time has passed..."

Han Yi slightly covered his face with his right hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at the beautiful sunlight.

boom!

After Han Yi completely severed the upper body of the wooden figure, the huge, bloated lower body, which had been standing in place, also collapsed!

Han Yi immediately felt the chilly air around him dissipate, and the morning light shone brightly and warmly through the crimson clouds, sweeping away the gray fog.

Bathed in the sunlight, Han Yi felt a surge of warmth, peace, and comfort, which invigorated him after a night of fighting. Meanwhile, the Yin-like corpse bathed in the sunlight slowly turned to ashes.

Bang!

Beneath the body was a stone the size of a millstone.

"This is…...."

Han Yi walked over and examined it carefully.

The stone was shiny black, surrounded by wisps of black mist, and had several mysterious black lines on its surface.

"Could this be a Xuan Yin Stone, or a Xuan Yin Stone Plus version?"

The more he looked at the stone, the more it resembled the Xuan Yin Stone he had absorbed before.

However, the Xuan Yin Stones he had absorbed before were at most the size of a chicken egg, while this one was the size of a millstone!

"Give it a try, and you'll see the results!"

Han Yi touched the surface of the stone with his finger. *Ding!*

[Found to absorb yin energy, should it be absorbed?]

Yes!

"Phew, cool!"

Han Yi let out a long breath, feeling as if he had just enjoyed a bowl of vanilla ice cream on a hot summer day.

This millstone-sized Xuan Yin Stone added a full two hundred points of Yuan Power and twenty years of lifespan!

Therefore, all his previous investments and losses were completely recovered, and he even made a considerable profit!

Most importantly, he also became a martial arts master who has mastered the Meridian Opening and Energy Cultivation!

Moreover, the Blood Plum Blossom Scarf, which was previously a treasure but could not be used, can now be used by consuming lifespan, and the Xuan Tie Sword can also be used as a long weapon to extend one's strength.

Overall, if we disregard the deaths of Huang An and the others, this trip to Peach Blossom Village was incredibly fruitful!

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

At this moment, Han Yi suddenly remembered Bai Sanren and Qianxue. He had left them in the house for so long, and he didn't know if they were alright.

He turned around hastily, executed his Flying Swallow Leg maneuver, and leaped towards Tao Wu's courtyard.

The village, which had seemed so vibrant yesterday, was now a scene of utter devastation after a night of fighting and destruction.

It was dilapidated and deserted.

Tao Wu's courtyard was the epicenter of the battle, where the situation was even more dire.

The white walls collapsed, revealing yellowish-brown soil; the blue bricks shattered, seeping out reddish-black blood.

Inside the courtyard, the ground was covered in unpalatable liquids—yellow, white, red, and black—all mixed together in a chaotic and disorderly manner, making it unpleasant to look at and nauseating to smell.

Han Yi frowned, but he didn't stop at all. He walked through the courtyard gate and headed towards the small hut next to the stable. Countless sticky liquids, like snot, clung to his feet, then, as if encountering some invisible glass, slowly slid down and dripped onto the ground.

He reached out again, tore off a piece of clothing, and gently bandaged the frightening gash on his back.

With the activation of the Rejuvenating Force, most of his superficial wounds had healed, except for this one, which, perhaps because the wound was too deep, had not yet healed.

"Sigh~"

During the bandaging process, it was inevitable that some granulation tissue would be touched around the wound, which made Han Yi gasp.

"It feels like this area will leave a scar..."

Even though the Rejuvenating Force was working its best to repair the wound, Han Yi could still sense that even if the wound healed, it would leave an ugly scar.

"But it doesn't matter, scars are the best proof of a man's worth!" he comforted himself. Anyway, it wasn't on his face, so it wouldn't affect his ability to make a living based on his looks!

Click!

As Han Yi pushed open the door of the small house, a large basin of scorching hot coals fell from above the roof beam.

Swish!

"You villains, give me back my brother Yi's life!"

At the same time, a delicate shout came, and from the corner of the door, a silver-white longsword thrust diagonally towards them.

Before me were glowing red-hot embers, sparking and crackling. Behind me was a gleaming sword, whistling through the air, like a net trapping a bird, making escape nearly impossible.

Although the longsword seemed weak and powerless to Han Yi, and he could easily knock the man back with a single punch, Han Yi was unable to retaliate.

"I…..."

Left with no other choice, Han Yi had to dodge the attack from the longsword.

However, he couldn't avoid the burning coals in front of him! He could wave his hand to push them away, but he couldn't do that!

scoff!

A smoky aroma, like the smell of raw meat protein being scorched by flames, wafted over.

Although the burning coals that came flying at Han Yi's face landed on him, they did not cause him disfiguring damage thanks to the force of the attack.

But the hair on his head was burned off completely!

"This, I..."

Han Yi touched his burning hot and smooth scalp, feeling like crying. He had just been secretly relieved that he hadn't been wounded on his face when he fought the giant wooden figure, but... he almost got disfigured!

In the blink of an eye, they were proven wrong at lightning speed!

'Sure enough, you can't make promises you can't keep!' he roared inwardly. Although there were no wounds on his face, the hair on his head was burned off completely!

It seems that for the time being, he can only be a meat-eating monk...

"Brother Yi, I... I didn't see you clearly. I thought it was... a bad guy..."

Han Yi watched as Qianxue clattered her longsword to the ground, feeling utterly frustrated. What could he say? Was she being cautious, or just worrying unnecessarily…?

Seeing that Han Yi hadn't replied for a long time, Qianxue, thinking he was angry, felt a tremor in her heart. She then thought of Bai Sanren lying in the room…

The joy of seeing Han Yi, her pillar of strength, return safely, coupled with her own exhaustion and the anxiety of a night spent worrying…

Under the combined influence of these two intense stimuli, her eyes turned red and tears welled up quickly. Her voice trembled with sobs as she cried out, "Brother Han—!"
