Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 296 The Journey

Boom! ! !

The entire mountain of flesh began to move. Fatty Zheng exerted force with his two thick feet, causing the entire deck to tremble slightly. All the force was transformed into a punch as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down, crashing down from below and meeting the palm of Azure Water Asura.

Fatty Zheng was able to become the manager of the Demon Hunting Association and the most important person in charge of the Anyan City area, which was certainly not because he relied solely on flattery and sycophancy to secure his position.

The blood-nourishing technique he cultivated was best at accumulating qi and blood. At this moment, his fat body was shaking violently, as if it had turned into hard muscles. The qi and blood strength contained within it was quite impressive, even from the perspective of a third-level martial arts master.

He knew that the situation before him was no longer something that could be avoided by talking, boasting, or building relationships. The other side was clearly aiming to kill him to silence him and eliminate all those who knew the truth, so naturally they were going all out.

Fatty Zheng's punch was overwhelming, and his body, weighing over a thousand pounds, added unimaginable power to the blow. He was confident that this was the most powerful punch of his life.

Unfortunately, he encountered the Azure Water Asura, who was only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

boom! ! !

Bi Shui Xiuluo's slender, fair wrist, seemingly as delicate as a woman's, met Zheng Pangzi's fist head-on with a seemingly light palm strike.

Boom! ! !

Fatty Zheng flew backward at an even faster speed, smashing through the main hall door and landing hard inside.

The banquet tables in the hall were instantly turned into a mess, with cups, spoons, bowls and plates all broken.

At this moment, seeing their leader displaying great power, the black-clad assassins brought by Biyue Shura were also greatly encouraged.

They were originally professional assassins who specialized in fighting and killing. Wang Yunkai and Fatty Zheng were just ordinary martial arts guards. In a short time, most of them were killed or injured and they were forced to retreat.

The situation suddenly seemed to become precarious.

......

......

On the second floor of the hall, Han Yi stood high up, squinting as he watched the fight below.

Judging from the current situation, Bishui Xiuluo and Yu Yuanshan are obviously here to hunt down Wang Lao and his group. He and Fatty Zheng are clearly unlucky victims who were innocently caught in the crossfire.

These two were powerful and well-prepared. Especially Yu Yuanshan, the one with the Mountain-Piercing Sword, who, even in the midst of his fierce battle with Wang Yunkai, still had the energy to observe his surroundings…

Given these performances, coupled with the vague hints given by the system, the weakest of these two individuals is a martial artist who has mastered the Great Strength of Power, barely one step away from the Grandmaster realm, while he himself is just an ordinary martial artist who has just reached the peak of the Two Strengths and has not yet mastered the Three Strengths martial arts.

So he hesitated, wondering whether he should get involved in this mess.

After all, he wasn't a member of the Demon Hunting Society, and his connection with Dongyang Academy was purely by chance; there was no need for him to risk his life for it.

only…...

He glanced around the waters surrounding the Black Crocodile. In the darkness, countless men in black seemed to be lurking menacingly underwater.

Bi Shui Xiuluo and his group, probably fearing that they would abandon ship and escape, not only chiseled off the Black Crocodile's rudder and oars, but also laid a net in the surrounding waters to prevent anyone from escaping or leaking information.

"Are you hesitating?" Suddenly, a cold female voice rang out, sneering, "Are you thinking of running away?"

Han Yi looked up and saw that a long-haired woman in black had emerged from the room next to his. It was the mysterious long-haired woman named Xunzhen whom he had met on the deck.

"I am a stranger to you all," Han Yi said bluntly. "Besides, pointless sacrifices are utterly meaningless. Moreover, this whole turmoil started because of you."

Xunzhen was taken aback. Usually, she was the one lecturing others, and this seemed to be the first time someone had scolded her in a lecturing tone.

“Yes…” she sighed, looking at the devastation on the deck.

Even in the deep of night, with the ship's lights swaying, one could see that the deck was littered with corpses, dark red blood seeping from the densely packed bodies, pooling into streams that flowed out from the drainage channels on both sides of the deck.

If you look closely, you'll find that most of the dead were guards from Wang Yunkai's side, and even a few people she knew.

"So many people have died along the way... because of me..." Xunzhen's expression was one of unbearable sorrow, her eyes filled with grief. "Uncle Liu... Brother Hu... Xiaoqing..."

Along the way, far too many people died because of her. They should have been living well, but they lost their lives because of a fabricated, impossible ideal.

Whether alive or dead, whether hunting her down or protecting her, they were all subjects of the Great Xuan Dynasty. They should have been playing their part in better places, but instead, they fought each other in this unknown darkness until they bled to death!

"Enough!" she shouted, her long hair under the hood billowing even without wind, and her eyes beneath the veil revealing a resolute determination.

She didn't want things to continue like this, she didn't want more people to die because of her, and she wanted to stop all the bloodshed.

Was all my previous understanding wrong?!

She lowered her head in confusion, her eyes lifeless. "Hahaha, the main character has appeared! I knew this method would work!" Upon hearing this, Biyue Xiuluo, who had forced Fatty Zheng to retreat step by step, suddenly looked up at the second floor of the deck and laughed wildly.

"Quickly finish this!" Yu Yuanshan swung his longsword, forcing Wang Yunkai back with a single move.

The two quickly exchanged glances and made a plan.

"Azure Waters Without End!" Azure Water Asura swept his legs in a series of horizontal sweeps, a tremendous force surged from above, and his whole body rose from the ground. His legs moved in a series of circles, and waves of shock force spread like water ripples.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Dozens of kicks followed, each one landing hard on Zheng Pangzi's vital areas.

The Azure Water Asura's Heavy Water Force is known for its immense power and shockwaves. The successive layers of force are like heavy hammers, smashing the wounds and flesh until they are unrecognizable.

Fatty Zheng screamed and fell into the dark hall, his fate unknown. Then, Bi Shui Xiuluo stomped heavily on the deck and rushed towards the second floor like a ghost.

This time, he was serious and determined to take down his target; his speed was far faster than before.

"Miss!" Wang Yunkai's eyes widened in anger, his heart filled with anxiety. He had clearly instructed the young lady to stay in the room, and that he would handle anything, but who knew...

But now is not the time to dwell on that.

"A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act!" In his hand, the short brush moved like splashed ink clouds, continuously sweeping across the distant mountains with horizontal strokes and vertical strokes.

boom! !

A loud bang rang out between the two, and visible ripples spread out and slowly disappeared.

Yu Yuanshan staggered back several steps, his face flushed, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious internal injury.

Seeing this, Wang Yunkai leaped up, trying to stop Bishui Xiuluo. "Trying to leave!" Unexpectedly, Yu Yuanshan laughed wildly, and countless sword shadows seemed to bloom in his hand, like an exploding ball of silver light. It only shone brightly for a moment, and a large amount of mountain-lifting force, like a sticky quagmire, pulled and twisted Wang Yunkai's movement direction and speed.

Left with no other choice, Wang Yunkai had to turn around and block him.

In that instant, almost in the blink of an eye, the Azure Water Asura had already reached the second floor of the deck.

"Go away!"

He grinned maliciously and ruthlessly slapped Han Yi's forehead, clearly regarding Han Yi as a personal bodyguard, intending to kill him with one blow and kidnap Xunzhen.

"Damn it!"

Han Yi was also perfectly aware of the situation. He cursed under his breath, knowing that the other party's target was Xun Zhen, who was standing next to him, and that he was just a passerby caught in the crossfire.

However, the fight scene was too chaotic, and this person's movements were too fast. Just as Xunzhen revealed his location, he appeared in front of him.

Han Yi had no time to dodge or explain, and could only hastily circulate his internal energy.

He dared not be careless. The opponent could knock Zheng Pangzi away in a few moves, and his life was unknown. He was probably a top expert among martial artists.

The Flying Dragon Skill was activated at full power, and the Qianyang Skill was vigorously stimulated, causing the Qi and blood to surge within the body.

He leaped forward in a marching motion, his strength swirling around him, and threw a punch straight at her.

The two powerful martial arts techniques were perfectly combined, and with the addition of force exertion techniques, they suddenly erupted. In an instant, his figure rushed forward like a cannonball that had been lit.

Bang! ! !

The two exchanged more than a dozen blows in the blink of an eye.

Bi Shui Xiuluo let out a soft exclamation, surprised that a guard who looked pale and injured, and whose strength was far inferior to his, could hold out against him for so long. However, he had no time to waste here. He suddenly accelerated again, lunged forward, and slammed his palm down on Han Yi's left shoulder like a wave crashing against sand.

Although Han Yi was fully focused and prepared, he used his Flying Dragon Skill to its fullest extent, activating its rapid special effects, and spun around to meet the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the opponent twisted their hand, easily changed direction, and suddenly accelerated past from another spot.

The sudden acceleration was too fast, far exceeding Han Yi's physical reaction speed, and he didn't even see the afterimage.

In addition, after exchanging more than a dozen blows, his arms were sore and weak, and his internal injuries from before had not yet healed. He could only watch helplessly as his opponent's palm struck his chest hard.

Bang! ! !

In an instant, Han Yi was sent flying several meters, crashing through the wooden door and falling into the room.

Bi Shui Xiuluo didn't even glance at him, showing no intention of giving chase. His target wasn't Han Yi to begin with. Instead, he soared towards Xunzhen like a bird spreading its wings.

"Miss Xunzhen, let's go!" He stood a foot in front of Xunzhen, his movements polite.

Xunzhen remained silent with her head down, her expression blank, seemingly oblivious to the changes happening around her.

"No words?" Azure Water Asura sneered, "That means you agree!"

His handsome face was as fierce as a woman's. If it weren't for the orders from above to bring Xunzhen back intact, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.

He grabbed Xunzhen's left shoulder. In his eyes, Xunzhen was just an ordinary person. Even if he relied on ordinary physical strength, he had to hold back and be careful not to hurt her.

"Do you think the realization of all dreams requires violence?"

"What?" Biyue Xiuluo was taken aback. Xunzhen's voice was so soft and quiet that he hadn't heard a thing. He grabbed Xunzhen's left shoulder and grinned, "Let's go, Miss Xunzhen, don't force me to use force!"

Suddenly, a ridiculous sense of crisis rose in his heart, but when he looked around, all the obstacles had been cleared away. The only one who posed a slight threat, Wang Yunkai, roared repeatedly, but he was entangled by Yu Yuanshan and could not break free.

But in front of him was just an ordinary woman.

"Don't force me!" He grinned menacingly, tightening his grip on his arm, preparing to forcibly take Xunzhen away.

Once he completes this deal, he may obtain enough resources to break through to the Grandmaster realm!

"It seems I was wrong..."

This time, he was closer and finally heard Xunzhen's murmurs clearly.

However, the meaning behind his words left him somewhat puzzled.

"What? You're wrong..." Bi Shui Xiuluo was somewhat puzzled, but before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly, Xunzhen looked up abruptly. The ends of her black hair began to faintly turn red, and the pupils in her eyes turned into eerie yellow vertical pupils.

Bang! ! ! ! !

There was no surge of qi or blood, no fluctuation of energy, no fancy stances or techniques, just simple speed, power, and explosiveness. The rest was aiming, throwing a punch, and then…

Half of Biyue Shura's head was gone, and a large amount of red and white stuff splattered out, splashing all over Xunzhen's face.

“You…” Bi Shui Xiuluo’s arm, which had been gripping Xun Zhen’s right shoulder tightly, fell limply. Half of his head had disappeared, but thanks to the vitality of a peak martial artist, he was still clinging to life. His only remaining eye emitted a chilling light of fear.

"I was wrong!" Xunzhen's black hair turned completely blood red, and her two yellow vertical pupils stood up. She roared like a madwoman, "I was wrong. Violence is indeed the root of all evil, but it is also the best means to achieve one's goals!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

After dozens more punches, Xunzhen continued to throw punches, and countless viscous yellow, red and white liquids clung to her fists, flowing down her fists to her shoulders, and finally dripping onto the deck.

The Azure Water Asura instantly stopped struggling, her entire body suddenly becoming still. Her beautiful, poetic eyebrows, which resembled a woman's face, had completely disappeared, leaving only a headless corpse that slowly slid down from the second floor.

boom! ! !

The body crashed onto the deck from the second floor, leaving a crater the size of a person.

“I understand…” Xunzhen looked at the blood-stained fist, a strange light flashing in his eyes. “Violence can not only create disaster, but it can also be used for protection…”

“I will never leave again…” She shook her head, her hair falling and swaying, her expression resolute.
