Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 687 Sunset Glow (Part 3)

Han Yi remained calm and composed.

"No rush. Let's see what other tricks she has up her sleeve. The poison you gave her hasn't taken effect yet. Besides, my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is already small in number. Even a single hall master is an extremely valuable asset."

The demon race's myriad meridian techniques are unpredictable and dangerous. If we were to catch up and force them to unleash a deadly move, losing even one of our lives would be a terrible loss.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't we just subdue those three? Let them go," he laughed.

"No, I have other plans for these three." Han Yi shook his head. "This trip is for training. Senior Sister just broke through, and having her work with Master to practice and coordinate will help her gain some combat experience. Besides..."

"What?" "Judging from her escape route, although she stumbled and staggered, she always maintained a definite direction and location. I suspect this woman's actions must have a purpose," Han Yi said seriously. "Perhaps..."

"Perhaps there are others lying in ambush, waiting for their chance," ** interjected, her face showing eagerness. "It's nothing. I'll lure that person out for you. I've long heard that the martial arts of the demon race are different from those of our human race. Today I'll see just how they differ..."

He cracked his knuckles and stretched his neck: "It's been so long since I've moved around, I'm really itching to get some exercise. If I don't get moving soon, my body might rust. Speaking of which, my newly developed hidden poison... it's about time it took effect..."

The two men in black behind him were about to speak up to stop him when, in a flash, they disappeared from sight.

The two had no choice but to try their best to keep up.

Huff... Huff... Huff...

Jinxia stumbled and staggered through the woods, trying to reach the location she remembered. Most of her beautiful long blue-green hair had disappeared, and her cloak was riddled with holes, from which bloodstains were faintly visible and seeping out.

The injuries to his legs were even more alarming; a bright vortex of flame appeared at his ankle and slowly spread upwards.

Her once slender and full thighs were now completely withered and yellow, resembling ugly bird legs.

Jin Xia is not a newbie who has just started out.

Like this time, she has done countless things like infiltration, sabotage, and escape.

They were discovered, caught, and surrounded quite a few times.

But this was the most difficult situation she had ever faced, and the one in which she was most likely to die.

The members of the Myriad Beasts Sect coordinated flawlessly, their movements fluid and impeccable. Their relentless attacks, seemingly gentle yet deadly, perfectly neutralized most of her assaults while simultaneously launching counterattacks. Moreover, those attacking her were from the same sect; although their martial arts differed, their origins were the same, their inner strength complementing each other and greatly amplifying their power.

In a short time, she had to use up most of her remaining demonic energy to resist the attack.

Even on his back, there were still several wounds that had not yet healed.

That was the price she had to pay for breaking through the encirclement, trading injury for injury.

Despite being hit by the attack, he withstood the assault, injured two people, and broke through the encirclement.

Originally intended to strike her head, she managed to deflect the attack using a technique with potential long-term side effects, thus mitigating the fatal wound with a minor injury.

The trees are lush, the sunlight dappled, and the paths formed by the shade are winding, like snake trails.

Jinxia lightly touched the branch, her body floating and sprinting forward. Using this momentum several times, she quickly covered a distance of several hundred meters, as light and graceful as a fairy in the forest.

“Hmm…!”

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she clutched her chest.

A suffocating, nauseating feeling suddenly surged up.

Feeling warm all over, with the warm sunshine on my skin, all I want to do is lie down and fall asleep.

"Oh no... those two bowls of tea... are acting up...!"

She remembered the two bowls of tea she had just drunk.

Having shown no symptoms for so long, she assumed she had toughed out on the poison, but she never expected…

Although the sunlight was warm, she felt no warmth at all.

A chill ran through me, rising from the depths of my being.

It wasn't a feeling in my heart, but a real, bone-chilling pain.

"What...what kind of poison is this?!" Jin Xia clutched her chest and coughed violently.

She was shocked and furious, completely bewildered.

With her powerful anti-poison constitution derived from the hundred meridians of the demon race, what kind of poison in this world could harm her?

What terrified her even more was that the vomited blood seemed to be mixed with this strange toxin.

Bloodstains, resembling plum blossoms, instantly stained her chest.

Subsequently, white smoke with a corrosive odor appeared, dissolving large holes in the clothes, revealing naked ketone bodies inside.

The toxins spread throughout her body.

The true energy that she had previously suppressed began to reactivate.

An intense, frozen sensation pierced through my flesh and veins, like an extremely cold block of ice freezing everything it touched.

She knew that this was the damage caused by the Nine-Bend Hall's true skill, the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm.

There is also a true force, light and ethereal like willow catkins, not easily noticed, which flows with the circulation of qi and blood to the brain, heart, and other parts of the body, taking root and multiplying.

This seems to be the effect of genuine skill and strength in the dance.

Originally, these two streams of true energy had been suppressed by her demonic aura. When the time was right, she could slowly wear them down and completely resolve the issue.

Now, with the outbreak of the toxins, a two-pronged approach is being used to launch attacks simultaneously.

In an instant, Jin Xia felt as if her internal organs had been burned through by toxins, and the two streams of true energy were wreaking havoc within her body.

puff!

She was initially quite fast, but her body felt like it was on fire, with intense pain spreading from the depths of her bone marrow. Unable to hold back any longer, she spat out another mouthful of blood, and her speed had to be reduced.

"No... I can't fall..." She leaned against the side of the tree trunk, trying her best to gather demonic energy to suppress her injuries.

"The wood sheds its leaves, the insects sing!"

She trembled as she pulled a long, thin tail feather from her bosom. It looked a bit like a peacock feather, but it was entirely fiery red.

In the center of the feather is a golden flame pattern, resembling an eye, lively and vivid.

One end of the fiery feather slowly dissipated, turning into bright specks of light that merged into Jinxia's body.

A speed visible to the naked eye.

Her complexion became rosy, her breathing calmed down, and she seemed to have recovered considerably; the toxins were also suppressed.

"Damn it! They actually forced me to use one of the few remaining sacred beast relics in the clan..." Jinxia retracted her tail feathers with some heartache and accelerated forward again.

She hadn't gone far when she stopped, her steps faltering. "Fall, fall, fall!"

Three figures slowly emerged from the forest.

"Huh? Your methods are indeed impressive. You managed to neutralize my self-created poison so easily."

Snap snap snap…...

The person in the lead was dressed in white, with an extraordinary air about him. He unfolded a white folding fan, covering his face and revealing only a pair of narrow, sharp, bright eyes.

"At Brother Han's request, I cordially invite you to be my guest. How about you do me the honor of making friends?"

He smiled and spoke softly.

"I am a man who cherishes and pities women... The thing I can't bear to see most is a beautiful woman injured... With your beauty, if a wound appeared on your pretty face... wouldn't that be heartbreaking?"

“**, although your bloodline is not pure, the Hu family is also a family with a strong bloodline. Your bloodline ancestor... might even be one of my Hundred Bloodlines. If you step aside, I can help you find resources from the Hundred Bloodlines to help you enhance your bloodline.”

Jin Xia's eyes were as cold as ice as she spoke in a cold voice.

"If you lay a hand on me, and the matter is investigated in the future, my Three Saints Sect... Demon Saint Palace... will not let you off the hook."

Upon hearing this, a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Does Your Excellency know who was the last person to say that to me?"

Before Jin Xia could answer, he continued, "I've heard that the Mingyu Sect is also one of the subordinate sects of your Three Saints Sect... I wonder if the sect leader of the Mingyu Sect has ever mentioned to you... who killed the twelve tower masters of the Mingyu Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed by.

When it reappeared, it was already behind Jinxia.

"I've long heard that the demon race's hundred veins are naturally powerful, so let me see... exactly where this so-called power lies!" The Annihilation Demon Art was activated at full power, and under the stimulation of true energy, invisible and colorless toxins spread throughout the ten-meter radius around him.

hiss hiss hiss...

Large swathes of grassland were eroded, the tender green leaves faded slowly as if erased by an eraser, leaving the ground withered and yellow.

Even countless small insects and similar creatures frantically burrowed out of the ground and surged forth in a dark mass, fleeing to other places.

Originally, the two bodyguards behind him wanted to step forward and lend a helping hand.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment, then dared not approach.

"Such a potent toxicity!!!"

Jin Xia, who is located at the center of the area, feels this even more deeply.

She could clearly feel that the toxins that she had seemingly suppressed in her body were re-condensing and reappearing under the influence of the **true energy**, echoing each other from the inside out.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Neither of them were ordinary experts. In just a few breaths, their fists and feet had collided dozens of times.

The demonic energy and true power canceled each other out, creating waves of sound in the air.

Compared to Jin Xia's disheveled state, ** remained calm and even had the leisure to chat amidst the fighting.

"This is a hidden poison I created myself, and only I in the world can cure it. The first bowl of tea you drank actually contained no poison; on the contrary, it contained many beneficial medicines that can enhance your health."

However, as long as I use external poison to attract and combine the two, internal poison will be generated and the effects will occur.

So what you just suppressed was merely the internal poison. And now, even with the external poison drawing it in, the internal poison will continue to emerge.

He seemed certain.

He was certain that Jin Xia could not escape Han Yi's pursuit.

That's why, like a major villain, he leisurely explained the inside story to his enemy. Amidst the clashes of fists and feet, Jin Xia roughly assessed her internal condition.

Sure enough, what ** said was right.

The toxins she thought she had eliminated have re-formed.

Moreover, as her blood becomes more active, the rate of production increases rapidly, spreading quickly.

boom!

Just as she was distracted, his figure suddenly blurred and flashed behind Jinxia in an instant. He gathered a large amount of true energy in his palm and suddenly pierced through her shoulder.

A large amount of true energy, like silk threads, instantly seeped into the wound.

Then it moves downwards, from the shoulder, upper arm, forearm, wrist...

Wherever the true energy passed, flesh and blood were peeled away layer by layer like a sieve, leaving only the hardest bones. This was **'s family martial art, the True Heart Technique of the Shifting Star Cave.

Although he became a grandmaster by breaking through the secret techniques of the Mingyu Sect, the Silent Extinction Demon Art.

But like Han Yi.

He was exceptionally talented and also pursued multiple fields of study.

Furthermore, with the full support of his family, he also cultivated the family's true skills to the level of a grandmaster.

Jin Xia made a mistake in one move and fell behind step by step.

Losing an arm is not a fatal injury for someone of her level.

Afterwards, with just a few days of rest, or even just a few hours for some with strong physiques, they can recover completely.

However, in a battle between experts, when the two sides are not much different in skill level.

Whenever one side gains a slight advantage, that advantage is amplified infinitely. Bang bang bang!

In a short time, Jin Xia was hit several times in succession, and several more wounds appeared on her body.

She knew in her heart that if this stalemate continued, she would lose sooner or later.

Even if they manage to hold out, if they delay for too long, the people from the Myriad Beasts Sect will catch up with them.

Think of this.

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes. Since her left arm was already crippled, she might as well just cut it off.

Click!

She neither dodged nor avoided the blow, taking it head-on.

With a muffled groan, streaks of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his left arm snapped off.

A large amount of toxic blood, mixed with poison, was forcibly gathered in her left arm and simultaneously expelled. *Sizzle...*

In mid-air, the arm was dissolved by the toxins, turning into a piece of black bone that fell to the ground.

Using the momentum, she moved away at an extremely fast speed.

"What a kind heart..." Seeing such ruthless methods, even ** couldn't help but admire them.

"However... your speed is too slow...!"

With a light tap of his foot, his figure suddenly blurred, transforming into countless fine rain threads that rapidly reached out to grab Jinxia.

The speed was already extremely fast, and with the added boost from his family's True Transmission Technique and the Star Shifting Cave True Heart Technique, it became even more astonishingly fast.

Like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan, it approached the golden glow in an instant.

"Die to me!!!"

The force was powerful and heavy, like a raging torrent, and slammed down on the back of his head.

"Get away!!"

Jin Xia roared, her eyes blazing with fury, knowing that she could no longer hold back.

"Nirvana!"

She took out the remaining tail feathers and quickly patted them onto her body.

Instantly, countless red dots merged in.

boom!

Two enormous, seemingly ethereal phoenix wings slowly unfurled behind her.

In an instant, her speed increased several times over, most of her injuries healed instantly, and granulation tissue appeared on her severed left arm. Her momentum surged.

"Forcing me to use my demonic spirit body..." A golden light flashed in her eyes, and a ball of golden flames exploded in front of her.

The flames faintly formed the shape of a flying bird, fiercely pecking at **.

Before they even got close, the scorching temperature ignited the toxins in the air, and a line of fire spread rapidly through the sky.

"Nirvana!"

**Not daring to be careless, chain-like symbols appeared all over his body, and scribbled symbols appeared on his face.

With his true form activated, his blood and qi surged and exploded, and layers of black chains wrapped around him to form a black chain ball, which he then charged forward.
