Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 779 The Decision (Part 4)

But this one blow caused Zhao Yi, who was originally full of confidence, to slowly change his expression.

"Oh...didn't anyone tell you before we came that martial arts and bloodlines...aren't these what I'm best at...?"

Han Yi remained calm, gently reaching out and pinching the long knife at his neck with two fingers.

His upper body was naked, and hot white steam, like vapor, kept erupting from his pores and spreading outwards.

Thick, black, and intensely hot blood and qi surged wildly, forcing his body to slowly begin to climax.

A dense network of red veins formed a network of lines, resembling a layer of red armor covering the entire structure. The outline of steel-like muscles was faintly visible beneath the armor.

"Targeting martial arts...targeting bloodlines...so this is what you rely on to challenge me..."

Click...

Han Yi's expression remained calm as he slightly tightened his two fingers.

The White Emperor's Bloodthirsty Blade, a weapon of unparalleled strength, was as hard as tofu, with cracks rapidly spreading from the middle of the blade to both sides.

A loud cracking sound rang out.

The longsword made a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight, then exploded with a bang, sending tiny, sharp fragments flying that landed on Han Yi without leaving even a white mark before falling to the ground.

"Unfortunately... you've already played all your cards. And I... have only used my third one!!"

boom! ! !

Han Yi lashed out with a cannonball, delivering a side kick to Zhao Yi's neck. A burst of white steam erupted.

A sickening cracking sound suddenly rang out, and Zhao Yi's entire neck area was completely turned into a bloody mess, with no bone or muscle discernible.

Poof.

Like pulling out a straw, radiating heat, the bloody spine was forcibly pulled out and fell to the ground with a thud.

He didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Zhao Yi's body had been cut in two and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving two dents of different depths.

"Boring. This is the so-called 'Quick Blade Master'? The second one." Han Yi shook his head slightly, his gaze calmly shifting to another direction.

"I, I..."

I witnessed everything that happened, and it all happened so fast.

With meticulous preparation and a sure-fire victory, the plan, which seemed to be going smoothly just moments before, has failed.

The tragic deaths of Cheng Wu and Zhao Yi happened in an instant.

The Fire Goddess was terrified, her face ashen, and she had no time to think.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Run!

Only when she truly faced Han Yi, and when his indifferent, emotionless gaze fell upon her, did she understand what Cheng Wu and the other man truly felt.

It felt like walking on a volcano, with churning lava overflowing and scorching the soles of your feet, a feeling that you could lose your life at any moment.

You can't truly understand it unless you actually face it.

She already regretted it, regretted being blinded by greed, and regretted agreeing to the plan. *Pfft pfft pfft!*

Dozens of invisible threads suddenly shot out from the Fire Maiden's hand.

In the blink of an eye, it flew hundreds or even thousands of meters away.

call out!

With a tug on the thin thread, she moved as if flying through the air, instantly covering a distance of a hundred feet, and rushed out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

This speed was even faster than the speed Han Yi had just demonstrated.

"The third."

Han Yi didn't even look. He flicked his finger, and a small ball of pitch-black flame shot out, clinging tightly to the silk thread like a bone-deep infection, chasing after the Fire Maiden in an instant.

"ah…...!!!"

Fire Maiden wanted to rely on her strong resistance to flames to withstand the attack, just like before.

Upon first contact, she noticed the difference. This black flame required fuel to ignite and burn…

Not metal, clothing, hair, or other such external objects.

Rather, it is all that is rooted in the origin of life—true strength, vital energy, primordial blood… everything that belongs to the inner self is suddenly ignited and burned.

Fire Maiden immediately let out a shrill scream.

The flames left no burns on her body; her skin remained snow-white and delicate, as if her screams were merely an act.

"Sect Master... spare... spare my life... I... swear... never... ever again..." Fire Maiden knelt on the ground, crawling towards Han Yi little by little.

Two clearly visible watermarks slowly appeared on the ground.

The intense pain emanating from within her body caused her to be drenched in sweat. Her fiery red cloak clung tightly to her body as copious amounts of sweat poured out, like rain.

"The third."

Han Yi floated in mid-air, quietly watching this scene, his expression neither sad nor happy.

hiss…...

Fire Maiden moved only a few steps before freezing in place, unable to move.

A faint black mist slowly enveloped her.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

Large amounts of black flame, as if alive, slowly emerged from her seven orifices. Then, black flame began to emerge from every pore of her body.

With a whoosh, the Fire Maiden's entire body was completely engulfed in black flames, and within a few breaths, it turned into countless black ash particles that scattered.

call…...

A gust of wind blew.

All that remained was a faint human-shaped trace.

There was nothing else.

Han Yi took a deep breath.

The black fire, several times larger than at the beginning, rushed into his mouth and nose as quickly as a whale sucking.

His aura surged, and in the blink of an eye, he had fully recovered from the injuries and depletion caused by the fight.

It's even better than that.

"Han Yi!" A flash of blue light appeared, and Huang Suyan appeared in front of Han Yi.

"This...this is troublesome..." He glanced at the Fire Maiden, who had been completely turned to ashes, and then at the two corpses lying haphazardly not far away, and sighed deeply.

"Today's events are likely related to Headmaster Yan Xuanji... Her favorite tactic is to take the initiative and refuse to be controlled by others. These three... must have been given orders by her beforehand, which is why they attempted to assassinate the Sect Master... But... but..."

He sighed deeply and did not continue speaking.

"Just what? Now that I've done it, I won't regret it," Han Yi said calmly.

He could probably believe Huang Suyan's explanation.

If this person was the mastermind behind this, then there would be no need to tell him so many secrets in the first place; he could have simply lured him in, set up an ambush, and done it.

Even if we can't kill him, it will definitely cause even more trouble.

Moreover, given Huang Suyan's status as an inner disciple of the Yuanmiao Sect and a successor of the Yunzao lineage, if he truly wanted to kill Han Yi, he would never risk his life.

It's not hard to see from the three-person sneak attack just now.

The three had a clear division of labor. One person held the line, one person faced the enemy head-on, and one person delivered the final blow.

The coordination was seamless.

It perfectly counters his martial arts true strength and spiritual bloodline.

Although I hadn't anticipated his powerful qi and blood physique.

This is enough to show that the mastermind behind the scenes must have an extremely powerful intelligence system to have such a deep understanding of his information.

So there is only one possibility.

What Huang Suyan said was indeed the truth.

“You shouldn’t have killed them. With them dead, Yan Xuanji would have a legitimate reason to retaliate immediately… Sword Talisman Academy… even if it’s just one of the six lower academies.”

"...Even if it's just a portion of their power...it's something your Myriad Beasts Sect can't withstand..." Huang Suyan sighed.

Actually, he hadn't finished speaking. Even if Han Yi was incredibly strong and could withstand Yan Xuanji's revenge, he still wouldn't be able to.

But what happens next?

They blocked Yan Xuanji.

Next, the heads of the six academies will emerge.

If the leader is blocked, then the experts from the three upper peaks will make their move.

Elders, Grand Elders, reclusive elders, and even patriarchs…

Within Yunzhou, Yuanmiaozong always managed to resolve any trouble.

The truth lies here.

Yuanmiao Sect has enough power to easily handle both the problems themselves and the people who raise them.

Therefore, what they say is the truth.

"Does this mean I won't have trouble if I don't kill them?" Han Yi said calmly. "If someone doesn't like me, if it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, and the time after that... They'll always find an excuse. They wanted to kill me, so they deserved to die. I've already killed them; if they have any problems, they can come to me!!!"

“No, it’s different…” Huang Suyan shook his head, “As long as a person is alive, there’s room for maneuver. Ultimately, this matter…”

But having said all that, he didn't continue.

As a dominant force in Yunzhou, the Yuanmiao Sect's great power also meant that it had many rules and regulations.

As a force within Yunzhou, the Myriad Beasts Sect was naturally regarded as part of the Yuanmiao Sect's property.

in particular.

With Han Yi's reputation as one of the Seven Great Masters of Yunzhou, he is not an unknown force even in the Yuanmiao Sect or the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Therefore, in dealing with the Myriad Beasts Sect, many people in the Yuanmiao Sect share the same view as Huang Suyan: they should primarily reason with them and appeal to their emotions.

However, things are different when someone dies. Although the three women, including Fire Maiden, are not formal members of the Yuanmiao Sect, and their status is not even considered outside the sect's official ranks.

However, when these people came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they were ultimately using the name of the Sword and Talisman Academy, which belonged to the Yuanmiao Sect.

As a result, he died here.

In this way, no one will object to whatever Yan Xuanji wants to do.

For this reason, Huang Suyan stopped talking.

Just as Han Yi said, what else can be done after the killings are done?

The people have all been beaten to death; no matter what he says, it's useless.

"Forget it, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess..." Huang Suyan was completely at a loss, his mind in turmoil.

"You...you...you...!!!" He was speechless, and could only sigh again before turning and leaving. His back looked somewhat dejected, conveying a sense of utter despondency.

Han Yi watched Huang Suyan leave, remaining motionless and standing quietly like a statue.

Since his debut, his principles for dealing with people and things have been very simple.

Repay kindness with kindness, and avenge wrongs.

The grudges are clearly distinguished.

Therefore, Huang Suyan had no malicious intent, and he would not take action against him.
