Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 757 Catastrophe (Part 6)

In the early morning in Huayang City, the wind was strong, making the red lanterns under the eaves of the houses rustle.

Standing before Han Yi was a human wall composed of the three great families of Huayang, a large number of government experts, righteous forces, and martial arts school masters.

The crowd was densely packed, numbering at least a thousand people, completely blocking the entire street in all directions.

At the very front were naturally the heads of the three major families of Huayang.

"Sect Master... Our three families have no intention of being your enemy. Whether Fan Hongchou lives or dies... we don't want to interfere... but..." Hu Liuyun, the head of the Hu family, stepped forward and said helplessly.

Standing behind him, his expression equally helpless, was a middle-aged man with a mustache. "But... setting fires in broad daylight and openly killing so many soldiers... we had no choice but to do it..."

This is You Bufan, the head of the You family.

He looked to be around the same age as Hu Liuyun, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. However, he was slightly short and thin, and when he walked, it was as if he could stir up a gust of wind, giving him a somewhat chivalrous and unrestrained air.

On the Fang family's side, an elderly man wearing a small black hat and a rich man's robe led Fang Jiulian out of the ranks.

The patriarch of the Fang family, Fang Chongde, was tasked with concealing his ugliness.

With a bitter expression, he said in a hoarse voice, "This is an undeserved disaster. If the sect leader is willing to hand over Deputy Officer Qiao, it will save face and allow us to give an explanation to our superiors. We can then pretend nothing happened..."

There is a great deal of filth and corruption among the three major families of Huayang.

There aren't many things that can be handled through such cooperation and collaboration as we are today.

The reason is simply that Han Yi's actions were too flamboyant and attracted too much attention.

He deliberately provoked trouble, stormed into the city, led his men to capture the dignified general of the imperial army, and killed hundreds of elite soldiers.

If no one sees these things, they might be able to be covered up and kept hidden.

No one wanted to offend Han Yi.

Especially after Fan Hongchou's mysterious disappearance.

As a result, Han Yi set fire to the residences of the high-ranking generals of the government army, burning them down in the city.

Such heinous acts, committed in broad daylight, were witnessed by far too many people. A large area of ​​mansions was burned to ashes, and it was impossible to hide them.

Whether Fan Hongchou is alive or dead, no one can be certain unless Han Yi says so. It's highly likely he's dead. But it's also possible he's not dead, but simply has important matters to attend to and cannot appear.

It's fine if he's dead.

If Fan Hongchou is still alive...

The three major families, representing the Huayang official family, turned a deaf ear and did nothing in this matter.

I'm afraid Fan Hongchou would immediately expel the three great families of Huayang from the list.

After all, Han Yi's actions completely disregarded the dignity of the imperial court. After slapping him, he spat on him a few times and kicked him several times.

"An explanation? You think handing Qiao Xiu over to you will give you an explanation to those above you?" Han Yi sneered. "Those of our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who died because of this... shouldn't we give them an explanation?"

"..."

Hu Liuyun was speechless. According to the code of the martial arts world, when one side takes the initiative to attack, it means that they are prepared to bear the endless backlash from failure.

However, these three families belong to the court and represent the face of the government. If they turn a blind eye to this and let Han Yi go easily, it would be a mistake.

Even if Fan Hongchou is dead.

It's impossible for those above not to investigate.

I'm afraid they'll send people over that very night to arrest the three family heads and treat them as traitors.

Ultimately, they were unable to provide an explanation.

"Get out of the way, or you'll die!" Han Yi said coldly. "Didn't you want to give your superiors an explanation? I'll stay, but the rest of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, let them go."

"this…..."

The three family heads exchanged glances.

Logically speaking, we shouldn't agree to that. But there aren't that many rules in the world; might makes right.

The reason why the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is called the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is simply because it is supported by the Beast Demon Han Yi alone.

Without Han Yi, neither the Myriad Beasts Sect nor the Nine Curves Sect would have amounted to anything.

The Myriad Beasts Sect ultimately belonged to Han Yi alone.

If Han Yi is dealt with, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will be easily defeated. If Han Yi is not taken down, the Hundred Beasts Sect, the Thousand Beasts Sect, the Hundred Thousand Beasts Sect... could rise again at any time.

Therefore, everyone else is insignificant and not the main contradiction.

“Fan Hongchou…I killed him…Qiao Xiu…is also in my hands…” Han Yi grabbed Qiao Xiu’s neck with one hand and dragged her out slowly like a chick.

"Therefore... all the blame rests solely on my actions. So... let them go. Otherwise... if any member of my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is harmed, no matter who it is, I will slaughter their entire family... leaving no one alive!!!"

The words fell.

The sound was loud like a bell, and thunderous.

The sound echoed throughout the entire block, slowly reverberating.

rustling...

The tremor caused the surrounding gray-white tiles to shake violently, and large amounts of dust to fall.

Many people experienced severe ear pain, turned pale, felt their blood churning, and were quickly overcome by nausea and vomiting.

It was clear that he had suffered a serious internal injury.

Pfft!

Even worse, some people, while lying on high rooftops, suddenly became breathless, their legs gave way, and they fell, suffering head injuries and losing consciousness.

The power of that roar was terrifying. The three clan heads remained silent, slowly leading their people to make way.

A conspicuous blank space spontaneously appeared in the crowded crowd in an instant.

The group from the Myriad Beasts Sect stepped onto the blank road, heads held high, looking directly at the two sides.

They weren't worried about Han Yi's safety at all and strode away from the city.

After several miraculous instances of divine intervention, Han Yi's status in their hearts was beyond words.

Superman? Immortal? God?

No one can describe it.

All they knew was that the sect leader was omnipotent, and that listening to him would not be wrong.

Between the two sides, there was hatred, provocation, disdain... but also admiration, surprise, and joy... but no matter how complex and intense the emotions were.

Not a single one dared to make a move.

Those who commit this act will have their entire family wiped out, including their chickens and dogs.

This is not a casual remark.

Han Yi's infamous reputation, and all the things he had experienced, had already been firmly established in everyone's minds.

It was built with real lives.

As the crowd gradually closed in and surrounded him, Han Yi turned his gaze to the three major families before him.

"Gentlemen, you want to use me for your own reward... but unfortunately... I also want to find someone to vent my frustrations on..."

He twisted his neck, and a crisp cracking sound rang out.

Bang.

The trash was usually thrown on the ground by Qiao Xiu.

"Attack together! Show no mercy! There's only one of us, take him down!!!" Hu Liuyun shouted, his five fingers flying out, a large amount of ethereal true energy flying out, pulling the air currents and creating an invisible giant net.

It was none other than the Hu family's secret martial art, the True Technique of Shifting Stars Cave.

"Eight-Step Thunder Kick!" You Bufan slowly took several steps, with lightning flashing beneath his feet, and cracks appearing on the ground with each step.

Fang Chongde stood with his feet planted firmly on the ground, his eyes slightly closed. Suddenly, three layers of true energy burst forth and condensed on his body.

The next moment, green flames ignited on his fists.

"Triple Return to Origin - Poisonous Flame!" He suddenly leaped up, his body enveloped in flames, like a poisonous dragon, fiercely burrowing towards Han Yi.

"Well done!" Han Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stomped his right foot.

boom!

His entire body soared into the sky, his Heavenly Evolution True Energy surging like a tsunami, accompanied by a barrage of special effects... penetration, extreme cold, explosion, immobilization... stacking up like crazy, as if it were free. At the same time, dozens of enormous black tentacles rose from his body, crashing head-on into him like a demon king.

"Huh?" Han Yi was stunned for a moment when they collided head-on.

The feel of this is... a little different...

puff! ! !

In mid-air, Hu Liuyun spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward dozens of meters like a kite with a broken string.

He was spitting out blood as he shouted, "Retreat...retreat quickly! Request reinforcements from higher up! The enemy is too strong, we can't hold them off!!!"

Han Yi was speechless, sweat beading on his forehead.

The three people opposite him all seemed to possess formidable skills and an imposing presence. However, the moment he made contact, he could sense that they were all just for show.

The contact was brief, fleeting, and he forcibly withdrew his true energy, resulting in a backlash. In other words, the blood Hu Liuyun spat out was a backlash from his technique, something he deliberately displayed.

By this time, Han Yi understood the meaning behind the three families' words.

The reputations of the three great families of Huayang seem impressive.

In fact, each family has its own difficulties.

If they ignore Han Yi, when the higher-ups come to hold them accountable, they will definitely settle scores later.

But if we were to get them to really get serious...

Even if the three families joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for Han Yi.

So this plan was devised.

Regardless, let's just go through the motions, put on a show, and go through the motions.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they managed to stop the person, but they couldn't beat them or catch up with them, so there was nothing they could do.

Even though there are many flaws in this.

At least it will give them an explanation later, so that they won't be left with no way to resolve the matter if it's investigated.

But... even though Hu Liuyun was seriously injured, his voice still rang out with such vigor...

Even if it's just acting...

Isn't the acting a bit too clumsy...?

Han Yi remained dismissive of this.

We should give them a chance to see what a true Oscar-worthy performance looks like...

'That old guy…'

You Bufan and Fang Chongde exchanged a glance, cursing inwardly.

The three of them had agreed to pretend to fight for a while, then vomit blood and fly backwards at the same time.

As a result, Hu Liuyun's first action was to deviate from the script.

"You family... retreat!!" You Bufan plummeted from the sky as if his ankle had broken, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater, as if he had deliberately created it. Han Yi then landed lightly.

Dust filled the air, and not a single person could be seen standing in sight.

As for Fang Chongde, his fate was even more tragic.

He let out a miserable howl, and the poisonous fire surged and rolled back in an instant.

Hurry!

He burst into flames, his body instantly turning completely black, most of his hair burned away, revealing his scalp underneath, and a few green flames remained on his eyebrows. When he fell into the hands of the Fang family members, it caused chaos and disarray.

"Go...go quickly...preserve our strength...we'll come back for revenge later..."

Before he could finish a sentence, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The Fang family represents the interests of the Huayang Chamber of Commerce, and Fang Chongde is also a leading businessman.

Quick-witted and exceptionally intelligent. That acting skill…

Han Yi immediately felt a sense of admiration.

The wealthy Fang family... truly lives up to their reputation...

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!!"

Fang Jiulian and the other elders and elites from various families also rushed halfway before screaming in agony, spitting blood and collapsing to the ground.

They arrived with great fanfare, and they were always in the lead when they ran.

The large crowd of onlookers who had been brought in to witness the events scattered in a frenzy.

They were originally unwilling to get involved in this mess.

They were summoned by the three powerful families using their authority and influence, mainly to keep order and maintain order.

Even with the combined strength of the three families, they were all defeated and driven away by the opponent in one move.

Such terrifying and monstrous enemies—why not hurry up and run, or stay and wait to die?

The streets, which were packed with people, were mostly cleared out in no time.

The entire street seemed somewhat deserted.

"Han Yi... The middle-aged man on the left with the sword was sent by Fan Hongchou to monitor our Hu family..." He secretly ripped open the blood bag on his body, revealing his blood-stained body and disheveled appearance. He also squeezed into the crowd to retreat.

As he left, he didn't forget to send a telepathic message to Han Yi, pointing out several people within the family who were considered 'traitors'.

The Hu family is large and powerful, and there are always some people with wavering minds who choose to completely side with Fan Hongchou and act as spies to monitor the Hu family.

Subsequently, the Fang and You families also sent telepathic messages to Han Yi, pointing out the spies within their families.

Eliminating these people would help the three major families get rid of their spies and escape the trouble of being monitored and interfered with internally.

Secondly, the deaths and injuries would prove that the three families had done their best. Then, by exaggerating the situation and fabricating more casualties, they could at least give their superiors an explanation.

Han Yi didn't stand on ceremony; he lightly tapped his foot, unleashing a burst of true energy.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a phantom, effortlessly sweeping across most of the crowd, weaving and turning among a dozen or so people.

When he landed, only a little bit of red remained on the slowly retracting black tentacles.

The remaining dozen or so family traitors fell to the ground without a sound, completely lifeless.

The steaming blood hole between the eyebrows indicates that the person was just alive.

"Run! Run!!!"

Seeing Han Yi catch up, the people around became even more terrified.

They cried and wailed like ghosts and wolves, wishing their parents would give them two more legs.

Han Yi walked along the main road, quietly observing the scattered crowd.

Those were the three major families, the middle and lower forces, and many so-called righteous martial artists who were gradually fading away.

These people gathered together to obstruct and block the area.

It's just to show an attitude, to put on a show.

Therefore, he didn't need to chase after him.
