Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 666 Struggle! (Part 10)

Swish!

A scene of bloodshed and desolation unfolded as countless weapons flew out, slicing through the enemy ranks like the Grim Reaper's scythe. The soldiers in the front ranks fell one after another.

"Run! Run!!!"

Such a terrifying scene instantly shattered the will of all the soldiers. Fear took over their minds, and everyone fled frantically, disregarding everything else.

Even with Li Ran trying his best to maintain the suppression, it was to no avail.

"The annoying little bugs... are finally free..." Han Yi's eyes swept across the area, and he quickly found his target among them.

This wide-range attack formed from black energy is fine for dealing with ordinary people, but against true masters, it requires personal intervention. "Come on!!!"

Li Ran mustered his courage, stopped worrying about anything else, and began to slowly accelerate as his mount began to move.

thump thump thump...

The heavily armored warhorse left clear marks on the bluestone bricks with every step. It was not fast, but its power was extremely strong, giving people the feeling of a tiger or leopard charging.

"If this is all you've got, then you'll die by my hand..."

Han Yi watched the approaching iron cavalry with a calm expression.

Swish...

A huge hammer appeared in his hand.

Faced with this human-shaped metal can, the most effective weapon is a powerful, jarring impact.

The ability to conjure suitable weapons at any time and against different enemies is the most abnormal aspect of the Spirit Seed Black Qi.

Adapt to local conditions.

Han Yi gripped the hammer with both hands, tilted it to the right, and stared intently ahead.

Ten meters, eight meters, five meters...

Close at hand.

He could clearly see the sharp teeth in the warhorse's mouth, as well as the bits of meat between the teeth, and even smell the foul odor inside.

"Broken Axe!!!" Han Yi grinned ferociously, channeling immense power into his fist and smashing it forward with madness.

boom! ! !

Dust was flying and gravel was flying.

The hammer shattered, and cracks spread.

A deep pit, like one trampled by an elephant, appeared in an instant.

But…...

"Oh no, we missed?!" Han Yi's expression changed.

"Tooth protrusion!"

Li Ran's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

With a strange flick of the halberd, it actually hooked Han Yi's shoulder from bottom to top, easily sending him flying.

"Dance!"

It was Li Ran's voice again.

The voice carried a hint of excitement, fanaticism, and bloodlust.

Swish!

Han Yi finally understood how Li Ran had vanished from his sight in that brief moment.

Before the words "chaotic dance" were even finished, a large amount of black true energy erupted from Li Ran's body, completely enveloping him and his horse.

In an instant, it appeared before Han Yi, leaving behind numerous afterimages. At this moment, Han Yi's body had not yet landed, and he was somewhat out of control of his own body.

"Black Shield!"

He was in mid-air, but under his mental control, a giant shield still appeared beside him.

He was no longer the clueless newbie he used to be; his extensive combat experience made it clear to him.

In any situation, it is essential to remain calm.

Especially when the opponent is typically unleashing their ultimate move.

Bang!

A crack suddenly appeared on the black shield.

Bang bang! !

Li Ran's figure seemed to teleport, sending Han Yi flying twice in succession. His halberd, shaped like a crescent moon, slashed rapidly and continuously at the black shield.

hiss hiss hiss...

More fine cracks began to spread across the black shield from the edges upwards.

Bang bang bang!!!

Within a short span of a breath, six consecutive teleportation attacks were launched.

The black shield finally gave way and shattered with a bang.

This was also the time when Li Ran's momentum was at its peak.

"Heavy Slash!!!" The halberd danced in a flourish, and with a powerful swing, a giant cross-shaped beam of light swiftly slashed towards Han Yi.

The cross-shaped light wave was enormous, completely engulfing Han Yi.

boom! ! !

A tremendous force collided and exploded, making the eardrums of those nearby ring.

"This... he should be dead, right..." Li Ran gasped for breath, watching the rising plume of gray smoke. "As expected... you're very strong... you've hidden it very well... You, the Ghost Tiger Li Ran... truly lives up to your name... but unfortunately, I've hidden it even more deeply..."

Li Ran's expression changed.

"Spirit Seed, Black Scale!"

Swish.

It sounded like a snake rapidly slicing through a tree trunk, its scales rubbing violently against the leaves.

"not good!"

But before Li Ran could react...

He felt a chill run down his spine, as if a ferocious beast was standing behind him.

"Ghost Explosion!" He reacted quickly, flicking his halberd.

The halberd was thirteen feet long, with a shaft ten feet long, carved with an image of a Yaksha King. The spearhead was three inches long, with a double-edged blade. On one side, a crescent-shaped blade was connected to the spearhead via two small branches, allowing for both thrusting and slashing. With a swing of the halberd, the spearhead separated from the shaft, and a cloud of poisonous gas immediately sprayed from the head of the shaft.

"Huh? You know how to use poison... and you can even hide your strength... I can say that among the Five Tigers, you are the strongest..."

Han Yi glanced at the empty hands that had been thrown at him, his voice low and somber.

"I didn't want to be exposed..."

His clothes were ripped apart, leaving only scales formed from black energy covering his entire body.

The once smooth and translucent surface of the spirit seed's black scales is now covered with countless tiny cracks and scratches.

It turned out that Li Ran's burst of energy had directly broken through his strength, shattered his outer layer of black energy, and damaged his inner surface.

Not far away, Li Ran felt a burning pain in her back, and her fear increased greatly.

If he hadn't been so cautious and vigilant, he almost wouldn't have reacted in time. Now, he had to give it his all.

"We share the same fate!" He stretched out his right palm and suddenly flashed it, creating a bloody mark that appeared out of thin air, oozing a large amount of blood.

Deep red blood dripped down the edge of his palm, but not a single drop spilled onto the floor.

All the blood evaporated in mid-air, turning into a chain of mist.

The chains slowly extended and connected him to the heavily armored mount beneath him.

hiss! ! !

The heavily armored warhorse neighed in pain, staggered, and collapsed to the ground, spitting blood.

At the same time, Li Ran's aura grew stronger, and the mist chains rolled back, bringing back a large amount of blood energy to replenish himself.

"Damn it, you forced me to do this...!!!" He slowly stood up, his body swelling and growing larger. His exaggerated physique far surpassed Han Yi's, reaching a height of nearly three meters, with a pair of jet-black antlers growing on his head, making him look like a demon.

"The world only knows the Five Tigers of the Imperial Guard, but they don't know that I, Li Ran... do not want the nickname 'Nether Tiger'..."

Li Ran grinned menacingly.

"Unfortunately, everyone who has seen my true form and trump cards... is dead! I can only be called the Ghost Tiger!"

He appeared slow, but in reality, he was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he covered more than ten meters and threw out a perfectly square punch.

when! !

The first punch was blocked.

"You're really good... Interesting..." Han Yi crossed his arms, feeling the explosive power and heavy pressure brought by Li Ran's punch.

He licked his lips excitedly, his bloodlust growing stronger. "It's more than just interesting... it'll be even more interesting when I blast you to dust!" Li Ran sneered.

"burst!!"

The two forces clashed, and before they could neutralize each other, the residual true energy still wrapped around Han Yi suddenly erupted, causing the black scales on Han Yi's arm to shake wildly.

Li Ran also used her true strength to unleash her power, taking the opportunity to jump away, and then, as if teleporting, punched Han Yi in the back.

Swish.

Layers of black mist, like black silk, instantly condensed and appeared behind Han Yi.

While the black energy of the spirit seed provided some protection, it also weakened Li Ran's punching speed and power.

The slowed-down attack gave Han Yi enough time to turn around and counter, and he struck out with his own palm.

Li Ran's punch missed, but he didn't care. A large amount of concentrated true energy gathered and flowed from his palm. "Shake!"

Under the influence of the high-frequency oscillation characteristics of the True Force, the black energy in his arms was immediately neutralized and dissipated.

Having regained his original speed, he instantly moved away, and then, leaving afterimages, launched another attack on Han Yi.

The two of them took turns attacking and defending.

Within a few short moments, they exchanged dozens of blows with each other.

Li Ran's offensive was like a torrential downpour, relentless and unending. Han Yi's defense was equally impenetrable, like an iron barrel.

Every encounter brings a tremendous impact.

Wherever they went, people around them retreated and cleared the battlefield.

This level of combat is beyond the reach of ordinary people. A slight misstep, and being caught in the crossfire, would mean certain death. The more Li Ran fought, the more worried he became.

Although he seems to have the upper hand and is dominating Han Yi, he hasn't actually inflicted any damage on his opponent.

What's even more frightening is that this state of his cannot last.

Meanwhile, his opponent's breathing remained steady and long as he delivered each punch and kick, clearly demonstrating his ease and control. He might even have had some energy left to spare.

With this in mind, Li Ran became increasingly impatient, wanting to finish the battle quickly and eliminate Han Yi as soon as possible.

The difference between masters can be as small as a hair's breadth.

Even the slightest difference in form can determine the outcome of a match.

In particular, Li Ran's subtle change in mentality at this moment forced him to be eager to determine the winner.

Although his offensive was fierce, his forced attacks, while seemingly initiating attacks, actually resulted in a chaotic rhythm. A lack of rhythm in the attack makes it easy for the opponent to exploit weaknesses.

In this way, Han Yi's defense became much easier and more impenetrable.

Gradually, Li Ran noticed that something was wrong with her body.

Speed, strength, agility, and other aspects began to decline, and the whole body seemed somewhat heavy and sluggish, as if carrying a large stone on its back.

At first, he thought that his supernatural powers had reached their limit and were beginning to backfire.

But after a moment's thought, it was clearly only a dozen or so breaths, so it couldn't possibly be a problem with me.

"It's you!" Li Ran stopped not far from Han Yi, sensed something was wrong, and immediately realized something was amiss.

Unbeknownst to him, a chill suddenly began to spread through his body.

The chill seeped into his bones, slowly affecting his entire body, causing his movements to become stiff and distorted. "Power?! How is that possible!" His expression changed, and he looked at Han Yi with surprise and doubt.

The biggest difference between a martial arts master and a grandmaster lies in their strength attribute, which is qualitatively different.

Even a trace of true energy is difficult for a martial artist to counteract, even if they exhaust all their strength.

But now, the other side can actually influence him with their strength... This...

“This is no ordinary force…” Han Yi smiled.

Since he obtained the True Skill of Willow Dance and cultivated it to perfection, he discovered that the Cold Yin Force had also changed under its influence.

Or rather, it is a cold, yin-energy-based technique, which also carries the characteristics of the Willow Dance True Skill.

It seems that this is because both the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm and the Dancing Willow True Skill belong to one of the Seven Transformations of Heavenly Evolution Mystic Skills. Therefore, practicing both at the same time not only does not conflict with each other, but also complements and enhances each other.

In other words, it's like one plus one equals two; the characteristics overlap without any conflict.

The effects of the Cold Yin Force are inherently concealed and not easily detected.

Now, possessing the True Skill of Willow Dance, with its characteristic of "entering silently in the night with the wind, nourishing things without a sound," it can easily break through Li Ran's True Strength, infiltrate the body, attach itself to it, and exert its effects.

Although it could not cause any harm to Li Ran, the extreme cold and the low temperature environment brought about by Xuanming's various characteristics were enough to reduce the activity speed of his internal true energy, causing his body to feel a little sluggish and stiff.

"Flash!"

Li Ran took a deep breath, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. Her body transformed into a blur, leaving a straight trail in the air as she rushed rapidly toward Han Yi.

He tried to expel the strange force within his body. He was able to do it.

But it's too time-consuming.

The best solution right now is to reduce the opponent's speed.

As for running away, that would be an even more foolish choice.

The growth effect is still active. As long as we survive and win, everything will be fine.

He escaped, and all those who died will be blamed on him.

Not to mention the troubles that might follow.

Once the duration of the supernatural power boost ends, he will immediately enter a weakened state, making it difficult for him to move.

At that point, it will truly be a situation where no one can hear your cries for help.

"We're really going to fight this hard..." Han Yi's expression was calm as he focused intently on his opponent. Whoosh!

All I could see was a flash of dark light, followed by a sharp pain in my shoulder.

It is no exaggeration to say that Youhu Li Ran's speed is the fastest among all the enemies he has encountered so far.

To describe it as swift as the wind is not an exaggeration at all.

The dark light rampaged across the field, leaving trails of afterimages before quickly dissipating.

Han Yi could only cross his arms, narrow his eyes slightly, and wait for the other party to reveal a possible opening.

He refused to believe that such a powerful secret technique could be used without any cost.

puff.

Under Li Ran's attack, some of the black scales finally exploded.

The seemingly seamless black scales, once breached, would immediately trigger a chain reaction, peeling away layer by layer. *Whoosh…*

A hint of joy flashed in Li Ran's eyes.

He had fought against those with bloodline privileges before and knew that once their outer defenses were broken, their inner defenses were only slightly stronger than those of ordinary people.

Even if Han Yi also cultivates martial arts, he can only be a martial arts master at most.

"Phantom Shadow!!!" he roared, raising his right hand high like a knife.

Time waits for no one.

The freezing effect on my body is getting worse, so I have to finish this quickly.

In an instant, half of Li Ran's body suddenly became ethereal, turning into a semi-transparent form for a moment.

The ethereal hand blade pierced through Han Yi's arms, which he was using as a defense.
