Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 667 The Tragedy of the Five Tigers

This move was far beyond Han Yi's imagination, so much so that he didn't even have time to react.

To Han Yi's astonishment, Li Ran's ethereal hand blade swiftly solidified and slashed fiercely at his shoulder and neck.

scoff.

Sounds like muscles growing rapidly, skin cracking, and clothes being torn appear quickly and then disappear immediately.

"Physical body, liberated." A soft sigh rang out.

"How is this possible?!" Li Ran stared at Han Yi in astonishment. At that moment, the size of the person opposite him rapidly increased, and in an instant, he became as large as Li Ran.

As for his chop, it did hit its target. But it didn't feel like he hit a person; it felt more like he had directly struck a mountain, a mountain made of fine iron.

In the brief moment of Li Ran's astonishment, a huge flaw was revealed.

"You are strong... but I am stronger!"

Han Yi's hands moved with lightning speed. He pulled with his left hand and pressed down with his right, delivering a powerful elbow strike to Li Ran's spine.

This move was lightning fast, giving people absolutely no time to react.

In a battle between masters, a single thought can determine who is superior.

To be defeated is to die.

Han Yi could even see the lingering shock on Li Ran's face, as well as a hint of resentment.

That elbow strike sealed the victory.

The black energy was enough to neutralize Li Ran's protective true energy, and the immense force unleashed from his physical body could easily break his spine. A broken spine, even if it didn't kill him, would render him crippled.

There is no resistance.

Whoosh...!!

In an instant, a wave of red light flew from the side, aiming precisely at Han Yi's weakest points in his defense: his facial features, eyes, nose, mouth, and so on.

The timing of this Blood Feather Spear attack was perfect; each strike was equivalent to a martial arts master's attack.

Han Yi has now exhausted the black energy of his spiritual seed, and has used all his strength on Li Ran.

While physical defense is strong, areas like the eyes are inherently the weakest points.

Even if it's not fatal, a hit will cause temporary blindness.

Han Yi estimated the time it would take to kill Li Ran, as well as the bullet's flight time. He immediately dodged and retreated.

But as he dodged, Li Ran reacted in the life-or-death moment and immediately followed up with a tug-of-war.

The two exchanged blows, punching and kicking, their collisions creating massive impacts and explosions, resembling a life-or-death battle between two giants.

Everywhere they went, there was a mess.

Many fragments of blue bricks on the ground were trampled and exploded, causing people around to cover their heads and hide.

The low wall surrounding the library also collapsed under the impact, revealing a large number of onlookers behind it.

Most people had expressions of disbelief and incredulity on their faces.

This level of fighting was almost the first time they had ever witnessed it in their lives.

Even when hit by the shovels and bruised, some people ignored the bruises and focused solely on watching the fight closely. After a dozen or so rounds, Li Ran's speed slowed down, and he began to fall into a disadvantageous position, revealing numerous openings in his defenses once again.

He had just used more than one secret technique, and most of his internal energy had already been depleted.

It's a miracle that the power he unleashed after being saved from the brink of death was enough to sustain his continued battle with Han Yi for so long.

Snapped.

Li Ran blocked Han Yi's knee strike, but his body involuntarily shifted backward. He tried his best to regain his balance and then returned the blow with a heavy punch.

However, the excessive accumulation of cold yin energy within his body caused him to move stiffly and become slightly slower.

Han Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly lunged forward, crouching down and turning to the side.

He clasped his fists together and simultaneously slammed them towards Li Ran's temples.

Whoosh! But then, a large patch of red light, accompanied by a piercing shriek, swept over his head and vital areas.

The Blood Feather Spear was fired from equally tricky angles, covering him from all sides, giving him no chance to make a move.

Helpless, Han Yi had no choice but to let Li Ran go again and dodge his attack.

Li Ran also took the opportunity to catch her breath, and with a leap, she widened the distance.

Han Yi's eyes were low and deep, as if they were about to drip water, as he looked in the direction from which the red light had come.

"Beast Demon... Han Yi, you killed so many of my soldiers... We are sworn enemies!"

It was none other than Fang Huandao, whom he had initially severely injured.

After his injuries were treated and he regained consciousness, he immediately rallied the scattered elite troops and began to command them. While Han Yi and Li Ran were locked in combat, he launched a sneak attack from the side.

"So you're sworn enemies! I was going to spare your life for your elder brother's sake, but you delivered yourself right to my doorstep!" Han Yi laughed angrily, then suddenly changed direction as he charged forward.

Swish...

While Han Yi wasn't as fast as Li Ran in a straight line, the immense force he gained after unleashing his physical body caused ripples in the air as his body rubbed against the air.

The speed is obvious.

In the blink of an eye, he had already charged to the front of the army formation.

Such elite spear-wielding troops are fine at long range, but what they fear most is a master like Han Yi who can charge close.

Once the distance is close, the Blood Feather Spear becomes difficult to aim at. One must be cautious and avoid shooting rashly, as it could easily injure one's own people.

Like a hungry wolf pouncing on a flock of sheep, Han Yi's massive body possessed an inexhaustible source of strength. With a casual wave of his hand or a sweep of his leg, three or five soldiers would fall dead with screams.

The military formation, which had been relatively well-organized thanks to Fang Huandao's efforts, was instantly reduced to pieces and collapsed.

But those who persevere to the end and dare to take action against him are the elite of the elite.

Even as the army crumbled, sporadic bullets still flew out from the corners.

Fortunately, Han Yi's physical body was strong enough that, unless a vital point was hit or a barrage of bullets was fired, individual bullets simply could not break through his defenses.

"Stop! Beast Demon, do you dare to fight me head-on?!" Li Ran followed behind, her eyes bulging, trying to stop him.

But if he hadn't been injured, and had been at his peak with full strength and speed at the beginning, he might have made it in time.

At this moment, his strength was less than 70% of his peak, and the aftereffects of using the amplification technique were beginning to appear, making it impossible for him to keep up with Han Yi's movement speed.

In just a moment, Han Yi charged to the very center of the army formation, where Fang Huandao was positioned. "Star Reincarnation!!!" Seeing Han Yi charging towards him, Fang Huandao smiled bitterly, mustered his last bit of true strength, and prepared for a desperate attack.

Snapped.

A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out.

"I'll leave you with one last piece of advice: the wise outwit each other, the brave persevere in their courage, and only the fools consider the meaning of things."

Han Yi gently withdrew his hand and shook his head.

puff.

Fang Huandao wore a bitter smile on his face. His skull was completely shattered, and he fell backward, lifeless.

"Golden Tiger!"

Li Ran was furious. He finally caught up with Han Yi, but it was too late.

"I'll kill you!!" He gathered all his strength and threw a powerful punch at Han Yi. *Smack!*

Li Ran's wrist was easily gripped by a large hand.

"You want revenge? But you need to understand the situation..." Han Yi sighed softly.

Li Ran looked around and realized that there was no one left who could save him.

The three elite soldiers of the government army went out together, but two of them had already died.

Of the three top masters of the Three Mountains Sect, two are still unconscious and offer no help.

Of the three hundred elite soldiers he brought, only a few scattered around remained.

He still persists in occasionally launching a sniper shot from a distance.

However, this did absolutely no good.

He sensed something was wrong, and his mind, which had been filled with rage, gradually cooled down. Only then did he calm down from the turmoil of his emotions.

"Phantom Spirit!" A ruthless glint flashed in Li Ran's eyes. Her left hand, which had been held by Han Yi, suddenly became ethereal, and she broke free in an instant.

At the same time, his once full head of black hair suddenly began to sprout large amounts of dry, white hair from the roots.

Such supernatural powers are extremely powerful; using them only once is fine.

Using it repeatedly in a short period of time will undoubtedly come at a huge cost.

Li Ran unleashed his true power, soaring into the sky and retreating swiftly.

Staying here offers no hope.

There are absolutely no opportunities in sight.

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to try to escape.

puff.

In mid-air, Li Ran looked down in astonishment.

"How...how could this be..."

A large hole suddenly burst open in his ethereal chest. "It's immune to external physical damage... but it seems to be lacking when it comes to internal injuries..."

Han Yi stood still, silently gazing at the sky.

Li Ran plummeted like a kite with a broken string.

There was a bang.

It slammed down hard and crashed to the ground.

Li Ran tried to get up, but found that layers of bone-chilling ice appeared on the hole in her chest, quickly sticking to and freezing to the ground beneath her.

He turned his body to the side, rolled halfway over, and then couldn't move anymore.

Han Yi himself had stored all his cold yin energy, but it had all been poured into his body.

Although it's unlikely to cause any real harm to Li Ran under normal circumstances, when his body is in a state of ethereal transformation, he can unleash his power from within and achieve a decisive victory.

"Do you have any last words?"

Han Yi took a few steps forward and looked down at Li Ran.

"I…..."

Li Ran was trembling all over, her teeth chattering, and a large amount of blood foam slowly seeped from the corner of her mouth.

He stared intently at Han Yi, wanting to say something, but the rapidly spreading chill froze his heart, and then his brain.

I can't say anything.

Their vitality was extinguished by the extreme cold and piercing chill of the Yin energy.

This kind of death, caused by the explosive force, especially the extremely cold and chilling nature of the Yin energy, which gradually erodes the body's vitality and destroys its internal organs, is extremely pleasurable.

"Then I'll give you a quick death..." Han Yi shook his head slightly, stepped forward, and gently broke his neck. To be honest, he had a good impression of Youhu Li Ran.

They are low-key, dislike showing off, keep things to themselves, and patiently develop their abilities.

The two are remarkably similar in many ways.

Perhaps, under normal circumstances, they could actually become friends.

Unfortunately, due to differing stances, there was nothing that could be done.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you can hide your strength and survive to the end. Also, I don't like the title 'Beast Demon.' Thanks to Master's kindness, I have taken over the Nine Curves Sect. Please call me the Sect Leader of the Nine Curves Sect."

Han Yi sighed with regret.

It can force him to reveal his biggest trump card and liberate his body.

Li Ran has every reason to be proud.

It's important to understand that physical liberation is a trump card he only uses in life-or-death situations, such as when fighting Fang Jiulian and the Blood Demon. In other words, Li Ran's true strength within the government army is no less than Fang Jiulian's; he is the strongest among the Five Tigers.

Unfortunately, despite developing his skills discreetly within the government forces for so long, Li Ran ultimately couldn't compare to Han Yi, the ultimate king of survival.

A look of relief and helplessness slowly spread across Li Ran's face.

He never would have imagined it.

Before setting off, what seems like a relaxed and enjoyable activity may reveal your true colors, or even cost you your life.

Of the five mighty generals of the Imperial Guard, four would die one after another at the hands of one man.

After dealing with him, Han Yi got up and strolled towards the two people from the Three Mountains Sect.

Li Zhonghao and Chen Ying were both knocked unconscious and had not yet woken up.

Those so-called elite members of the Blade Hall they brought were mostly wounded or dead, scattered like birds and beasts. Looking at the two unconscious men, Han Yi pondered for a moment.

Snapped.

He unleashed several bursts of black energy, striking Chen Ying and the other man.

Several crisp cracking sounds were heard, and the two men let out muffled groans.

With their limbs broken and major acupoints sealed, even if they were to wake up, they would have no power to resist.

As time passed, the sun dipped below the horizon, and Jingtianzhuang appeared exceptionally dim and silent under the setting sun.

Han Yi straightened up and slowly scanned his surroundings.

No one around him dared to meet his gaze; wherever his eyes swept over, they all lowered their heads to avoid him. Even their breathing had to be slowed down and kept quiet.

A quiet place was in front of the library.

Everyone wanted to leave, to escape this mess as soon as possible.

But no one dared to move.

They were terrified of attracting Han Yi's attention and then suffering a thunderous attack.

They were all filled with regret, regretting that they had come to see the spectacle only to witness something they shouldn't have.

The three tigers of the government army and two top masters of the Three Mountains Sect.

Despite their combined attack, they all fell to the same person.

These are no pushovers. Each of the five is a powerful figure who can command respect and influence.

Especially the former.

For the government troops, Kou Hu was dead, and Fang Jiulian was no longer around. The Five Tigers were already the strongest fighting force the government troops in the Huayang area could muster.

Even with their all-out effort, they couldn't defeat Han Yi this time.

Who will be able to rival Han Yi in the future?

Moreover, Han Yi did not receive any external assistance this time; what he displayed was his own true and undeniable combat strength.

If you add his unpredictable beast-taming skills, he's probably not just a one-man army, but a powerful force in his own right.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the Huayang area was about to undergo another major change.

On another note, they were also feeling sentimental.

As expected, even the once powerful forces of Yunzhou, like Jingtian Manor, are like centipedes that, though dead, do not fall down.

Whenever the world is in dire straits and facing certain death, a peerless genius always emerges to take up the mantle.

"Han Yi..."

Zhang Ruoning slowly walked out from the crowd, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Han Yi.

From the very beginning, when she chose to remain neutral, she already knew there was no going back.

She was tired.

She didn't want to return to the military, where she was treated as a traitor and subjected to countless curses. She also suffered various forms of unfair abuse and targeting, enduring immense torment.

Besides, she betrayed the government troops; even if she went back, she wouldn't be able to save her life.

So she simply hid in the shadows, waiting for the results to come out, and tried to see if she could preserve the last embers of Jingtian Manor.

But what did she see in the end?

That was a scene she had never anticipated, one she could never have imagined even if she racked her brains.
