Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 259 Methods

It wasn't the gruesome wounds on the creature's face or the severity of its injuries that made him realize, despite the horrific sight of its face covered in wounds, that this was someone he knew…

This is none other than Xiao Ba, who has been missing for many days!

"Xiao Ba?!"

Han Yi felt a strange tightness in his chest; the thing he least wanted to see had still happened.

When he couldn't find Xiao Ba no matter what he did, he suspected that Xiao Ba might have met with some misfortune...

During his fierce battle with Danyangzi, he was almost certain of his plan. But now, seeing Xiao Ba's corpse, he still felt a pang of regret.

What angered him even more was that, after death, the person was transformed into a zombie-like being by Danyangzi, at his beck and call, attacking and assaulting him…

"Playing with corpses, desecrating the dead... Danyangzi, very well!"

Han Yi's nameless rage burned even brighter, and with the full power of the Qianyang Skill activated, a circular sun pattern faintly appeared between his eyebrows.

Bang! !

He slapped Xiao Ba on the neck, completely clearing the yin energy from his body, and Xiao Ba's corpse also quieted down.

Rest in peace…

Han Yi gently brushed across Xiao Ba's unseeing eyelids, closed them, and sighed.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but after Xiao Ba's body fell, he vaguely saw a trace of gratitude in Xiao Ba's eyes. "Danyangzi... next, it's your turn..."

The wind grew stronger, whipping up countless debris. Han Yi squinted at Danyangzi, who was shrouded in gray mist and underwent a tremendous change.

A large amount of Yin energy gathered around Danyangzi, forming a circle. It could be seen that Danyangzi was in great pain at this moment, and the Yin energy poured into his body from all sides like a spring.

As the Yin energy surged in, his worm tail, which Han Yi had torn off, was reduced to a bloody, mangled upper body. Red fleshy buds could be vaguely seen growing there, and they grew rapidly in the wind, becoming thicker and longer. Their surface turned black and hardened, revealing a worm tail that was even more magnificent than before.

Around this circular gray mist, numerous white figures were drifting in the wind. Closest to Han Yi, several white figures were also guarding him menacingly, seemingly on guard against him.

After Han Yi's frenzied absorption, even these dazed and mindless spirits knew that the person before them was far beyond their capabilities. Moreover, the faint, almost primal aura emanating from Han Yi instilled in them an instinctive fear.

"snort…..."

Han Yi slowly reached his right hand into his robes. He dared to follow Danyangzi in because he was fully prepared.

The preparations mentioned here refer not only to psychological preparations but also to weaponry and equipment.

He also carried a Yangyan Arrow, which was expensive to make, valuable, and extremely powerful.

This Yangyan Arrow was the one he hadn't used up in Peach Blossom Village last time. Back then, that peach tree monster was killed with just one arrow.

Unfortunately, he went to the Extraordinary Affairs Office several times afterward, hoping to buy some Yang Flame Arrows, but all his efforts were in vain. They were either already used up by the Extraordinary Affairs Office or there was no stock available.

Even so, with only one arrow left, he refused to believe that Danyangzi could withstand that arrow! Whew!

But before Han Yi could take out the Yangyan Arrow, he felt a strong gust of wind rushing towards him.

He suddenly drew his sword and held it in front of him.

clang! !

Amidst the deafening crash, Han Yi staggered back several steps, only to be slammed down by a dark figure, causing him to lose his balance.

Click!

Han Yi swiftly swung his sword, but unexpectedly, the finely crafted waist knife shattered into countless fragments the moment it struck the figure.

He had no choice but to step out with his right leg, using the momentum to spin and kick out, his left foot slamming hard into the dark figure, and his body was sent flying back several meters.

Boom!

After being struck by Han Yi's powerful whip kick, the dark figure was lifted off the ground and slammed into the deep pit.

"Another zombie!"

Han Yi then had time to observe. It was a zombie that looked similar to Xiao Ba, with similar wounds, and was gray-black all over.

The difference is that this zombie has long hair and is wearing a tattered long dress, which clearly shows that when this zombie was alive, it seemed to be a woman.

"woman?"

Han Yi looked closely again and realized that this person was none other than the young lady from the escort agency who had committed suicide in the black market that day.

"But I clearly instructed the servants to handle these corpses properly, how could this be...?"

Han Yi doubted whether he had seen correctly, but then he thought again that those menial disciples were always slow and sluggish in their work, and on top of that, there was Danyangzi, disguised as Cai Yu, as an opponent…....

Perhaps, before his own orders could even be relayed, Danyangzi had already ordered the changes.

Han Yi now understood that the death of the escort agency woman was likely orchestrated by Danyangzi using some kind of underhanded means.

This woman was the beginning of the strange changes in the black market. After her death, things gradually became strange in the black market.

Therefore, the fact that such important figures who trigger change are being thrown out to take the fall means...

Danyangzi must have exhausted all his tricks and this is his last struggle!

"Thunder Palm!"

Han Yi tossed aside the hilt of his sword, and with the full power of his Qianyang Gong, his Thunder Palm struck the face of the zombie that had just crawled out of the pit like lightning.

Bang! !

This time, Han Yi showed no mercy, and a large amount of Qianyang energy surged into the zombie's body under the force of his palm.

Roar! The zombie roared and was smashed into the pit again. Its entire head was riddled with holes by the evil-breaking effect of the Qianyang Force. Its face was completely shattered, and it looked nothing like a human anymore, a truly miserable sight.

Roar! !

It fell into the pit, rolled several times after landing, and its whole body turned red, like a cooked shrimp shell. White smoke and a stench even began to rise from its head. It let out a final roar and melted away, turning into a pool of black water under the destruction of the Qianyang Force.

Han Shuang's palms were still emitting wisps of white smoke. After landing, he exhaled a long breath, the white vapor resembling smoke. He exhaled for seven or eight breaths before finally expelling all the waste gas from his body.

Whoosh!

As Han Yi calmed down, Danyangzi, who was shrouded in gray mist, swayed and suddenly disappeared from Han Yi's sight.

Thump! !! The next moment, he reappeared, silently landing behind Han Yi. With a flick of his insect tail, he instantly blasted Han Yi away.

*Sizzle*

"what happened?!"

Han Yi barely managed to straighten his body in mid-air, his gauntlets sliding two or three zhang on the ground before he could dissipate the force. However, Danyangzi disappeared once again.

Whoosh!

Han Yi faintly heard the sound of wind in his ears, and he instinctively wanted to turn around to defend himself from the attack behind him.

But this time, the attack came from the front!

A monster over two meters tall, with the upper half of an old man's body and the lower half of an insect's tail, and two huge purple insect wings on its back, suddenly appeared in front of Han Yi.

Bang! !

This time, Han Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he had been hit at high speed by a heavy object weighing hundreds of kilograms. His already somewhat loose strength was immediately scattered. In addition, most of his strength protection was concentrated behind him, so he fell backward with a thud.

He was slammed into the wooden house by the enormous force, and the entire house collapsed. Instantly, there was a continuous crashing sound, and countless fragments, like hailstones the size of buckets, mercilessly rained down on him.

"Cough, cough..."

Amidst the dust and ruins, Han Yi's face was flushed, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. This time, without taking precautions to absorb the impact or providing any frontal protection, he was truly injured, and his internal organs had shifted slightly from the impact.

He curled up, his arms protecting his vital parts, and hurriedly used the rejuvenating properties of the Qianyang energy to heal his injuries.

whoosh...

Suddenly, a thick insect tail fell from the sky again, striking Han Yi precisely where he was.

Helpless, Han Yi could only arch his back, protect his head with his hands, smash through the rubble, and rush out from the other side.

Bang!

The insect's tail fell to the ground, raising dust and leaving a trench several tens of centimeters deep.

Swish!

Han Yi had just rushed out of the collapsed house, stumbled a few steps, and before he could regain his balance, he saw Danyangzi's lifeless face suddenly appear in front of him.

"Death...die..."

Danyangzi's lips curled into a grotesque grin as he mumbled incoherent roars.

clang!

Once again, Danyangzi's insect wings, covered in dark purple spots, lashed out like sharp serrations, slicing towards Han Yi. Han Yi barely managed to raise his black-gold gauntlets to block, but the force of the flapping wings still knocked him off balance. "Is that teleportation? No, it's just that his speed is too fast, creating an illusion similar to teleportation!" Han Yi quickly got up, looking around. Danyangzi had vanished again.

He focused his attention on guard, but could not see Danyangzi's figure, nor could he sense any aura behind him.

He slowly retreated, leaning his back against a solid yellow-gray brick wall, and began to fully circulate his Qianyang Gong.

He could feel that there were several wounds of various sizes on his body caused by Danyangzi. At this moment, the wounds were cold and icy, and a lot of yin energy was gathering and drilling into them.

For ordinary people, the entry of Yin energy into the body is a deadly danger. Yin energy permeating a wound will make it difficult to heal, and may even lead to infection and rot. At best, it will cause injury, and at worst, it will lead to death. But for Han Yi, this Yin energy entering his body can be regarded as some appetizers.

Soon, under the rejuvenating effect of the Qianyang Energy, which circulated throughout his body, the wounds healed quickly, leaving him with no major problems, and his strength was also greatly restored. "His speed is very fast, but there is still a slight whooshing sound in the air." Based on his experience from the previous exchange, Han Yi listened carefully.

After undergoing some kind of mutation and absorbing a large amount of Yin energy, Danyangzi seems to have completely lost his "human" characteristics and is gradually transforming into a demon.

However, Danyangzi, who fights solely on instinct, becomes increasingly difficult to deal with.

Even if there are Yangyan Arrows, which are considered powerful weapons, they are useless if they can't hit anyone.

In the system's view, Danyangzi's strength level was only equivalent to a first-level martial artist, similar to Han Yi's strength, but his speed far exceeded Han Yi's agility and reaction speed.

If Han Yi's speed is 1, then Dan Yangzi's speed must be at least 5, five times that of Han Yi!

Therefore, Han Yi was completely unable to keep up with Dan Yangzi's speed and was passively beaten like a sandbag.

The Qianyang Gong is comprehensive, capable of sustaining damage and providing recovery; as a primary cultivation technique, it excels in all aspects. However, at this moment, it has revealed a weakness…

That is, being proficient in everything means being mediocre in everything, and the problem of not being fast enough was immediately presented to Han Yi.

Although he didn't take the Xuan Tie Sword, with the Qian Yang Gong activated, as long as he could drag it out, relying on the recovery provided by the Qian Yang Gong and the defense of the Blood Plum Scarf, Han Yi didn't think he would lose.

But right now, what he lacks most... is time!

At the entrance to the black market, a large group of outer disciples were still waiting anxiously…

Moreover, this is not some desolate wilderness... This is the city, where at any moment, a sect leader, a master of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, or other experts who have reached the Great Perfection of the Qi realm might break through the gray mist and rush in.

"Or else..."

Han Yi quickly glanced at the panel. He had just absorbed a large amount of Yin energy, causing his Yuan Power value to surge. [Name]: Han Yi (17/190)

boom! !

The earthen wall behind Han Yi suddenly exploded, and two insect-like arms, resembling hooks and sickles, carrying a dense yin energy, stabbed towards Han Yi's back.

Boom!! The sound of the earthen wall breaking allowed Han Yi to quickly determine the direction of the force. He turned around to block, gathering his strength in his gauntlets. The evil-repelling effect was activated, first piercing through the protective yin energy, and then bending the insect arm with a punch.

His entire body was pushed backward by the enormous force. Fortunately, he used his Flying Swallow Kick to push off the ground and retreated rapidly, taking the opportunity to get away from Danyangzi.

But Danyangzi seemed to know that simple physical attacks would hardly harm Han Yi, before he could even regain his footing.

Chi!

In an instant, the insect's tail rose, and a large amount of white ribbon-like material was produced from the end of the tail, resembling inconspicuous light willow catkins, yet it shot towards Han Yi at great speed.

Han Yi looked closely and realized that they were not willow catkins at all, but rather long, thin insects with tiny white, sharp teeth.

He rolled backward, narrowly dodging the attack, but out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw Danyangzi's wing flutter and disappear.
