Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 325 Unexpected Events (Part Two)

"Xiao Kong, bear with it, your brother is coming to save you!" Zhang Zheng seemed unable to bear it any longer, his square face full of determination and integrity.

"Zhang..." Before Han Yi could stop him.

As soon as he finished speaking, his right leg flew up, and with a surge of power, he kicked hard at the head of the dragon-like snake.

Bang! !

With a loud bang, Zhang Zheng let out a muffled groan. The dragon-headed snake suddenly swung its head, and he was sent flying by the snake's head, crashing into a tree more than ten meters away. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

He, a martial arts master at the Energizing Realm, was severely injured in just one exchange.

Then, as if enraged, the dragon-like snake tightly coiled its lower body around the tree trunk and suddenly lunged forward like a black shadow, heading straight for Han Yi, who was still standing in place.

All of this happened so fast, so quickly, that it gave people no chance to think.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zheng was sent flying, lifeless, his fate unknown. Kong Liang, meanwhile, was tightly bound by the dragon-like snake and could hardly survive.

All that's left is Han Yi.

call!

The dragon-like snake moved extremely fast, creating huge sonic booms. Even with Han Yi's keen eyesight, he could only catch a fleeting glimpse of a black shadow.

He felt a chill run down his spine, his blood and qi surged, and the two forces of Qianyang Jin and Feilong Jin simultaneously wrapped around his hands. He then suddenly threw a punch forward.

Bang! ! !

His fist collided with the snake's head, the two immense forces squeezing and canceling each other out, creating visible white ripples. Han Yi and the dragon-headed snake were both thrown back several meters, one feeling dizzy while the other's fist throbbed with pain and his forearm trembled.

"A good opportunity!" Han Yi glanced quickly. At this moment, the tail of the dragon snake had already drooped down involuntarily, and Kong Liang was only one or two meters away from the ground.

He endured the pain in his arm, pushed off with his feet, activated the Flying Dragon Technique, and with a flash, forcibly pulled Kong Liang down.

scoff!

Kong Liang's calf was instantly torn to shreds by the forked tail of the dragon-like snake, and the white bones could even be vaguely seen through the wound. Blood gushed out all over the ground.

However, getting injured is much better than losing your life.

call!

At this moment, the dragon-headed snake finally woke up from its dizziness. As if it had realized that its food was missing, it angrily raised its huge snake head and its thick snake tail fiercely coiled towards Han Yi.

"Rapidly!" Han Yi was still holding Kong Liang in his hand, unarmed and had no time to defend himself.

He suddenly unleashed his inner energy, activating the full effects of his Flying Dragon Technique, forcibly changing direction in an attempt to dodge first.

Chi Chi Chi!

By a hair's breadth, Han Yi only had time to turn around and narrowly dodge, but he still felt a burning pain in his back. Without a doubt, it was the four shallow bloodstains left by the forked part of the dragon's tail.

He was clear-headed and knew that the dragon-like snake, having lost its food and become enraged, would not easily let go.

He dared not slack off at the moment, and his Qi and blood circulated at full speed. The Qianyang Energy's rejuvenating properties healed the wounds, and the Flying Dragon Skill's rapid, fire poison, and ignition effects were fully activated.

He turned and threw a punch.

Combining the two highly advanced martial arts techniques with the speed boost from the Flying Dragon Skill, he shot forward like a bullet. Bang!

Unfortunately, the dragon-like snake's defense was too high. When Han Yi struck its slippery scales, it felt like striking a steel plate coated with butter. Not only was it greasy and effortless, but the remaining force was even bounced off.

The dragon snake was helpless against this tiny creature. Although its massive size might give it a strong straight-line acceleration, it couldn't keep up with Han Yi's agility in the dense forest. It could only passively take hits.

Even if you can't break through the defenses, you'll still feel pain if you hit it.

This little guy is like a hedgehog covered in quills; there's nowhere to bite him.

Moreover, the blood of this dragon-like snake is cold and its endurance is extremely poor. After just a few moves, it was already exhausted and its strength was depleted.

Unlike ordinary wild beasts that are muddle-headed and lack any intelligence, demonic beasts that can become ferocious beasts have more or less developed some intelligence.

Immediately, it judged that the current situation was not good. The hunt had failed, and its instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm took over. There was no food, and it was exhausted. There was no need to fight here.

It immediately lost interest, ignored Han Yi's punches, turned around, and swayed away in other directions.

Han Yi was left standing alone, his face flushed, slowly adjusting his breathing.

He did not stop it, nor did he have the power to do so.

The dragon-like snake's defense was simply too strong; he couldn't break through it at all. If this dragged on any longer, he would soon run out of strength.

They saved people and drove away the dragon-like snake; this is already the best possible outcome.

"This dragon-like snake is at least equivalent to a martial arts master who specializes in three areas but not all of them. If it weren't for the fact that all its talent points were invested in the defensive scales covering its body, it would be hard to say what it would be like..."

Han Yi felt a tingling, numb, and stinging pain in his fists. Although he was not injured, his fists inevitably became swollen.

"If we calculate it this way, my strength is probably above ordinary second-level martial arts master, but below a third-level martial arts master who has achieved true mastery..." He had a certain estimate of his own strength.

This time, aside from his Reverse Scale form, he used all his other techniques and managed to fight a three-strength martial artist with a limp to a standstill.

"I wonder if I can kill this fiend if I use my Reverse Scale state..." Han Yi thought to himself.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Zhang Zheng, who had been knocked into the tree by the dragon snake at the beginning, coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and stood up with the help of the tree.

"Brother Han, that dragon's coil..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he couldn't hold back any longer and a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.

"It's alright for now, I fought them off." Han Yi said calmly. Zhang Zheng looked around after hearing this.

The broken trees, shattered stones and branches, fallen bushes and grass, and Kong Liang, still unconscious, all indicated that a major battle had just taken place here.

"Brother Han, you are truly skilled. I never expected your strength to be so high. I think that Dragon-Snake is at least equivalent to a Three-Force Martial Master who has achieved true mastery. Impressive!" Zhang Zheng said with admiration.

His surprise, astonishment, and admiration were palpable.

"I'm also injured, but it's internal, so it's not visible," Han Yi said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

I didn't notice it when I was in a state of heightened energy and blood circulation, but after resting for a while, I immediately noticed the abnormality.

In addition to the four scratches on the surface, the area on my back affected by the dragon snake also had large areas of redness and swelling, which was caused by the faint rupture of capillaries on my back.

“…” Zhang Zheng was speechless. Was this considered an injury?

He calls this injury? By that standard, he just vomited a mouthful of blood, so wouldn't that mean he's about to die?

The two stopped talking, turned around to check Kong Liang's wounds, and quickly led him away to the open space where they had previously cleared the monsters and piled up a large number of tailless sheep carcasses.

Fortunately, it's not a big problem.

Kong Liang looked at himself covered in blood, with fallen leaves and dust all over his body. His calves were torn and bleeding, a truly gruesome sight. But in reality, they were all superficial wounds, nothing serious, and there was no real problem.

The two men carried Kong Liang back to the open space and put him down on a flat spot.

He was given water immediately and wound medicine was applied. The effect was immediate, and he soon showed signs of waking up.

After cleaning, bandaging, and treating Kong Liang's injuries, the two finally had time to check on the others.

The tailless sheep monster they just killed was a treasure trove from head to toe: mutton, wool, sheep whips... Each additional sheep would bring an extra reward, which was crucial to their payout, so they had to take it seriously.

Fortunately, the battle with the dragon snake only delayed me for a short while.

The medicinal effects on the tailless sheep carcass were still present, and so far no other carnivorous monsters had been attracted, nor had any carcasses been lost.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

Han Yi blew the eagle whistle, and an invisible low-frequency wave, inaudible to human hearing, traveled far and wide.

This is the contact information for those who are truly part of the Demon Hunting Association.

Such a large group of monster corpses cannot be easily and safely transported back by just two or three people.

After clearing out the monsters, it is necessary to notify the Monster Hunting Association to come and inspect the removal process.

The two waited in the open space for a while, and finally, the group arrived. A large group of burly men dressed in the red and black uniforms of the Demon Hunting Society pushed carts and carried sacks, quickly squeezing into the open space.

These people were all strong and muscular, and they all possessed certain martial arts skills.

Following closely behind was a black carriage.

The carriage stopped, and a servant lifted the curtain. A middle-aged scholar with a pale face and a somewhat weak appearance stepped out, dressed in a plain white robe and carrying a birdcage.

This person looks ordinary, like a regular person who has never practiced martial arts, but upon closer inspection, his arms are unusually long, and large, bulging muscles can be vaguely seen in his shoulders and neck hidden under his wide robe.

"Greetings, Team Leader You!" Han Yi and Zhang Zheng quickly stepped forward, clasped their hands in greeting.

"What happened? Why are you in such a mess?" The man glanced around and asked with a frown.

Han Yi felt a chill run through his body the instant his gaze swept over him; this was the body's instinctive contraction response when facing danger.

This person is named You Long. He comes from the You family, one of the three great families of Huayang, and is also the true person in charge of the Demon Hunting Association responsible for clearing out demonic beasts.

The three major families of Huayang are powerful and influential, controlling most of the industries in Huayang City and having intricate connections with many forces, including the Demon Hunting Association.

Han Yi dared not delay and carefully recounted what had just happened.

Zhang Zheng had just fainted and was standing aside, so he could only be used as supplementary information.

"A dragon-like snake has broken in?" You Long pondered for a moment. "This place is deep and secluded, and there is indeed a dragon-like snake's nest here. However, this is clearly the outer edge of the forest, so how could it be... But it's not a rare thing. Perhaps your demon-hunting activities were too loud and attracted by the bloody smell."

He felt that this must be the reason; the smell of blood attracted powerful monsters to hunt it.

For the Demon Hunting Guild, which often deals with matters in the wild, this kind of thing is quite common.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

“You two…” You Long glanced at Han Yi and Zhang Zheng again, then at Kong Liang, who was lying on the ground, still unconscious.

Kong Liang and Zhang Zheng were covered in blood and dirt, and it was clear at a glance that they were seriously injured.

Han Yi, on the other hand, remained calm, with no trace of blood on his body, in addition to his previous narration.

He could easily imagine the scene where, when the dragon-like snake went berserk and began to wreak havoc, Han Yi would step in with all his might, turn the tide, subdue the dragon-like snake, and escape unscathed.

"You're quite good. You actually managed to repel the Dragon-Spinning Serpent, which is equivalent to a Master of True Skill." You Long looked at Han Yi with a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He had also read Han Yi's information. He was from out of town, had no powerful background, and had just entered Jing Tian Manor as an inner disciple.

I came to the Demon Hunting Guild to participate in missions because I wanted to make money.

"Team Leader You flatters me. I was just lucky." Han Yi said calmly. "I also practiced leg techniques, so that dragon-like snake couldn't do anything to me, which is why I was able to win by sheer luck."

"A martial arts master as well?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than You Long stomped his right foot and, with one hand shaped like a hawk pecking at its prey, fiercely pecked at Han Yi's shoulder.

Han Yi was startled. He channeled all his energy and used the Flying Dragon Technique to narrowly dodge the attack. Then, he wrapped his left fist with force and struck You Long's abdomen from the side.

Unexpectedly, You Long's left hand, like a nimble bird, suddenly accelerated and easily changed direction, flashing out from Han Yi's shoulder as if boneless, and hovering effortlessly at his throat.

Han Yi, who had been holding his fist, also stopped moving.

"Your reaction speed is good, and your qi and blood are sufficient. You are indeed much stronger than a typical second-level martial artist." You Long slowly withdrew his arm and nodded in evaluation.

"However, you have plenty of explosive power but lack staying power. You need to pay attention to the speed at which your energy is generated and consumed, control it precisely, and prevent your energy from running out."

"Thank you for your guidance, Captain You." Han Yi was also covered in cold sweat. This You Long was far stronger than him. If it hadn't just been a test, that one move alone would have been enough to take half his life.

This person, at the very least, is like Senior Sister Zhong Han, a master of true martial arts, having cultivated genuine skills.

The gap is too large; even if he unleashes his Reverse Scale state, he probably still won't be a match for this person.

In terms of overall physical qualities, speed, reaction, strength, and power, none of them can match this person. If they are hit in a vital spot, they will be seriously injured even if they don't die.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Our demon-hunting team has its own principles. As fellow members, helping each other is only natural." You Long smiled. "Your strength is quite formidable among the Second Force. How about exploring other opportunities?"

"What does the tour group mean..." Han Yi pretended to listen attentively.

You Long tore off a strip of meat and fed it into the birdcage, saying slowly, "It's nothing. I see that your blood and qi are mottled and your strength is uneven. It's obvious that your fists and legs have undergone special training. Have you been practicing both fist and leg techniques?"

"That's right." Han Yi answered frankly, without any intention of hiding his dual cultivation as a martial arts master.

This is no secret, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Even within Yunzhou, many wandering knights and independent martial artists who lack genuine skills to cultivate will choose to practice both internal and external martial arts to increase their strength.

He was just a little confused about what You Long meant.
