Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 303 Yunzhou (Part 1)

"Ya'er... don't say anymore... let me pull you up first..."

Tantai Xunzhen's eyes were also a little moist. From witnessing her best friend's death to her best friend's miraculous survival, from great sorrow to great joy, it was already extremely rare for her to be able to maintain her current barely calm demeanor.

"Sister...I was wrong...I'm sorry......."

In mid-air, Ya'er was still sobbing uncontrollably. The more she thought about her actions, the more she wanted to die, wanting to atone for the deaths of the people who had passed away.

She killed so many people….

"Your sister doesn't blame you..."

Tantai Xunzhen grabbed the rope, preparing to pull Ya'er up with all her might.

No matter what, even if Ya'er is a traitor, she's still her good sister, and she has to live first!

Home, let's go home together!

Beep! ! !

At that moment, a sharp, strange, and muffled sound rang out from the depths of the canyon.

The sound pierced through the mist, accompanied by the rumbling of shaking rocks, echoing repeatedly within the canyon.

It was unclear whether it was due to the amplified echo from the canyon or the sheer intensity of the sound. Throughout the canyon, the white mist began to dissipate, the trees rustled, and the stone bridge swayed slightly.

Everyone immediately felt a ringing in their ears, a tightness in their chest, and a feeling of nausea.

The fierce black goblins instantly lost their momentum, falling from the sky and landing on the bridge, their wings tightly tucked together and their heads bowed, as if welcoming something.

call!

A tremendous flapping sound of wings.

As the white mist dissipated, a gigantic blackbird appeared, twice the size of an ordinary blackbird, with a wingspan of nearly five meters!

It also has a pair of fleshy growths on its head that resemble a rooster's comb, reddish-purple, like a crown.

"The Blackbird King?!"

Wang Yunkai exclaimed softly. If there is such a large nest here, which is very suitable for the life of the black-headed bird, then there must also be mutated ferocious beasts that are far more powerful than ordinary black-headed birds.

He finally understood why this route had been abandoned. With such an extremely dangerous group of ferocious beasts and a Black Demon King comparable to a Three-Strength Martial Master, anyone would choose to avoid this place.

Perhaps the deaths of a large number of blackbirds had already aroused it, or perhaps the lure of the prey had startled it.

The Blackbird King flapped its enormous wings slightly, and in a flash, like an arrow released from a bow, it suddenly appeared above the bridge.

It was only a few meters above everyone's heads, and the sound of its flapping wings was extremely clear.

The strong wind pressure caused everyone to feel a powerful gust of air following them.

The Blackbird King emitted strange bird cries, circling and flying in mid-air, its long neck staring intently at Tantai Xunzhen and the half-piece of animal bait beside her.

This king of black goblins is clearly different from ordinary black goblins; it seems to have a certain ability to distinguish them.

In its narrow, red eyes, which radiated malice, a hint of covetousness appeared in its gaze toward Tantai Xunzhen!

It seemed to know that the beast bait only smelled good and actually had no effect, while Tantai Xunzhen, who possessed top-tier bloodlines, might undergo a further transformation in strength if he ate this person.

The Blackbird King circled in the air several times, its eyes never leaving the vicinity of Tantai Xunzhen.

The next instant, it flapped its wings violently, and its figure vanished abruptly.

"not good!"

Wang Yunkai, being an experienced and shrewd man, immediately discerned the true purpose of the Black Demon King, which seemed to be Tantai Xunzhen.

He rushed anxiously toward Tantai Xunzhen's direction.

However, with the disappearance of the Blackbird King, a large number of Blackbirds swarmed towards him, their black feathers fluttering, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

These blackbirds, though they posed no harm or danger to him, couldn't be ignored. In an instant, he was engulfed by a vast expanse of black feathers.

"Miss...quick...get out of the way..."

"

Amidst the large flock of birds, Wang Yunjie's anxious reminder could be faintly heard.

However, Tantai Xunzhen was still holding onto the rope tightly, trying to save Ya'er.

She almost managed to pull Ya'er up just now...

However, the strong wind brought by the Blackbird King caused Ya'er to sway, and the rope she was holding loosened again, causing her to slide down another ten meters.

Ya'er was just an ordinary person. It was a miracle that she could hold onto the rough hemp rope for so long in such strong winds and at such a high altitude.

However, Ya'er was also nearing her limit. Blood was seeping from the spot where her palm touched the rope, clearly indicating that the rope had torn her delicate skin.

Therefore, Tantai Xunzhen dared not pull too hard. She was afraid that if she exerted too much force, Ya'er would not be able to hold on and would fall again. She could not bear such a result. She could only slowly and little by little rescue Ya'er.

"Hold on, Ya'er!"

She shouted to cheer Ya'er on.

Actually, she wasn't unaware of Wang Yunkai's anxious shouts, nor was she oblivious to the impending danger...

She dared not dodge, nor let go, for fear that if she did, Ya'er would not be able to hold on and would fall into the canyon.

For an ordinary person, such a height would be fatal, even if there were a river below.

Even if Ya'er had done something wrong, she couldn't just watch Ya'er die in front of her; she had to save Ya'er!

Holding onto this belief, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out. The vanished Blackbird King reappeared, this time above Tantai Xunzhen.

The enormous black figure moved with incredible speed, like a black line, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, and pounced on Tantai Xunzhen with a claw.

The claws gleamed with silver light, were incredibly sharp, and faintly shimmered with a dark purple glow, clearly indicating they were highly poisonous.

However, Tantai Xunzhen remained standing still. No matter what, she could not let go. She could not let her sister fall to her death because of her letting go. She could not accept this ending!

"Reverse scale state!"

A faint muttering sound rang out, and another gust of wind, leaving a trail of afterimages, passed by Tantai Xunzhen.

Bang! ! !

A deafening explosion erupted in mid-air, silencing everything around them as the force of the impact reverberated. The echoes even reverberated around the canyon. Han Yi somersaulted in mid-air, stumbling back several steps on the stone bridge before barely managing to dissipate the force.

His expression was somewhat horrified. He had used all his strength, even unleashing his ultimate move, the Reverse Scale Form, which could damage his meridians. He was ready to unleash his full power.

Even so, it was still defeated head-on by the Black Demon King.

"Tantai Xunzhen, hurry up!"

After blocking the attack, Han Yi hurriedly shouted.

To be honest, he had almost run out of the stone bridge area, but he had to turn back. This risky move was entirely because he was afraid that something would happen to Tantai Xunzhen.

Tantai Xunzhen is the core of the team right now, and nothing can happen to her.

Whether forced or voluntary, Han Yi is now on the same side as Tantai Xunzhen. He must ensure her safety in order to ensure the smooth completion of many things in the future.

But the Black Demon King let out another shriek, moving with incredible speed. Its sharp claws, like two daggers, drew lines as it flew back and forth, constantly cutting and spinning around Han Yi.

Amidst a series of clanging sounds.

Han Yi quickly blocked with both hands, rapidly depleting his internal energy until it was almost gone.

The solid fists and palms, which had expanded and grown larger due to the Reverse Scale state, were now covered with numerous bloodstains, and it seemed that they were about to break through the defenses and bleed.

Beep! ! !

With a loud cry, the Blackbird King leaped into the air once more, its sharp beak pointing downwards. It spun its body and drilled fiercely at Han Yi like an electric drill.

"Gathering strength to break through the heavens!"

But then, someone else was even faster.

It's Fatty Zheng!

He roared and broke free from the blockade of a large flock of blackbirds. Although he looked like a ball of flesh, he wasn't actually a ball of flesh. At this moment, he moved with incredible agility, like a boulder rolling down a cliff. His fat swelled up, and his two large hands, like iron shovels, fiercely clamped down on the blackbird king's beak.

But the next moment, he screamed again as two deep furrows were dug into his hard, dark gray hand.

But the Blackbird King's movements were instantly blocked by him.

"Han Yi!" he roared.

Although Fatty Zheng was a coward, he was also a smart man who would never do a losing business.

His mission had failed, and the journey had been arduous and costly. He believed that Wang Yunkai and his men would compensate him once he returned to Pingzhou Prefecture.

But now that they're almost at Pingzhou Prefecture, anyone who dares to stop Fatty Zheng from finishing this deal will die!

Han Yi naturally understood. He seized the opportunity and mustered all his strength and energy. Clang!

He strode forward and slammed his palm hard into the wing of the Black Demon King.

Once this thing loses its ability to move, it's like a carp that's been brought ashore—it can't jump around much.

Surprisingly, the bird's wing only dented slightly, and it was completely unharmed. Instead, it used the force to burst free and instantly broke free from Fatty Zheng's grip.

"This?!?" Han Yi was also taken aback.

With no other option, he and Fatty Zheng exchanged a glance and joined forces to attack.

However, this Black Demon King was incredibly fast, impervious to blades and spears, and also possessed potent poison. It could fly through the air, and even when the two of them joined forces, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Finally, the Black Demon King circled in mid-air before swooping down like lightning. It was getting impatient; it had no interest in Han Yi and Zheng Pangzi, only wanting to devour Tantai Xunzhen, who had triggered its bloodline resonance. Han Yi and Zheng Pangzi were also exhausted and could only watch helplessly as a black shadow flashed by. Moments later, two sharp claws firmly gripped Tantai Xunzhen's shoulders.

Blood flowed down Tantai Xunzhen's shoulder, past his elbow, down to his fingertips, and then dripped down the rope onto Ya'er's head.

The pungent smell of blood stung Ya'er, whose eyes were glazed over, making her look like a puppet.

A burning, scalding sensation appeared on my face.

"Sister..." Ya'er has now fully woken up from that state of being bewitched.

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, unstoppable...

Tears blurred her vision, and all she could see was her sister standing on the bridge, desperately trying to save her.

That enormous bird-like monster, that blood flowing like a waterfall…...my sister is injured…

Now, as she recalls the mistakes she made, she feels incredibly bitter.

"Sister..." she murmured to herself, "I can't be a burden to you anymore..."

She's killed so many people, she can't let her sister die too...

A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

The Blackbird King spread its wings wide, its violent force emanating from its claws, attempting to uproot Tantai Xunzhen.

Bang! ! !

Two figures flashed by, one on the left and one on the right, and punched the Black Demon Bird King one after the other.

The Blackbird King, in pain, temporarily loosened its grip, spread its wings, and soared away. The blood on Tantai Xunzhen's body only intensified its desire for more.

It kept circling and turning in mid-air, trying to find an opportunity.

*Beep!* The Blackbird King let out a strange cry, like a woman screaming wildly, extremely piercing.

Thump thump!

A vast flock of black goblins, like the thickest dark clouds, surged out from all directions of the canyon, instantly engulfing Han Yi and his companion.

Whoosh!

The Blackbird King flew high into the sky, disappearing into the distance, leaving only a point of light. A moment later, it flew towards Tantai Xunzhen like a black meteor falling, leaving behind trails of afterimages.

Although it didn't know why this powerful being that could promote the evolution of its bloodline was motionless, it didn't stop it from seizing the opportunity.

"Ya'er... hang in there...!"

On the bridge, Tantai Xunzhen gritted her teeth, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, but the intense pain in her shoulders made it impossible for her to hold onto the rope.

Moreover, the claws of this black goblin king are covered in deadly poison. Even if her bloodline has some resistance to the poison, she will still experience numbness, weakness, and temporary fatigue all over her body.

"Sister..." Ya'er's tears gradually disappeared, leaving only two white tear streaks. She shouted upwards, "Sister, you must live well, you must live well for me!"

She didn't want to be a burden to her sister anymore. She had already caused the deaths of so many people, and she didn't want her sister to die because of her.

She was a sinner, and she had no face to face Tantai Xunzhen, who was more like a sister than her own, even though she wasn't her biological sister.

"No!" Tantai Xunzhen seemed to realize something and shook her head frantically. "Ya'er, you must hold on to the rope tightly!"

She lowered herself from the horse and tried with all her might to pull Ya'er up in one go, but she had no strength and it was all in vain.

Suddenly, the rope, which had been taut, suddenly loosened!

She suddenly exerted too much force, stumbled, and fell backward onto the ground.

But she felt no pain at all, and scrambled to the gap in the bridge.
