Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 814 Encirclement and Kill (Part 3)

“The intelligence was wrong. Cultivating both bloodline and martial arts seems to be just a cover for this kid.” Yun Mo put away his brown short staff, his brows furrowed.

At the tip of the short staff, a deep crack about the thickness of a finger is clearly visible.

"His physical body was his greatest asset. I'm afraid that the fall of my junior disciple Miaoxuan was also related to his underestimation of the enemy and his carelessness here."

Having spent many years fighting on the outside world, he knew how to expand and develop resources for Yuanmiaozong.

The simple practice of external martial arts and physical training is the most difficult, arduous, and rugged path. Only those with great perseverance, strong will, and great talent can achieve something in it.

Martial arts are divided into internal and external. Internal strength refers to power, true skill, and true power.

External martial arts refer to physical training to increase physical strength, toughness, and defense.

The resources required for external martial arts training are several times that of others at the same level.

The key is that if you endure hardship for decades in the early and middle stages, it will only be equivalent to someone cultivating true skills for three or four years, and you might even be completely outmatched.

Therefore, very few people choose to cultivate only external martial arts.

However, once such people gain influence, they will become one of the most troublesome groups among their peers.

It possesses immense strength, astonishing speed, and virtually inexhaustible endurance.

This makes them far more troublesome than other people who cultivate true skills... several times more difficult to deal with.

One person could easily defeat several people of the same level, and fighting against opponents of higher levels was also a piece of cake. "External martial arts?" Yunxiao frowned. "Apart from those bald monks at Shouyi Temple... where in Yunzhou could one cultivate external martial arts to this level?"

Back then, Shouyi Temple was a martial arts holy land that was no less than Yuanmiao Sect.

The Two Extremes Marrow Forging True Scripture is a top-tier external martial arts method for cultivating the physical body.

An inherent contradiction.

The Yuanmiao Sect, which primarily cultivates internal strength, has thus clashed openly and covertly with Shouyi Temple countless times, resulting in bloody conflicts.

As for the result...

Looking at the current state of Shouyi Temple, with only a handful of staff left, it's easy to tell who won and who lost.

The half of the Two Extremes Marrow Forging True Scripture that they had obtained had already been thoroughly studied by the Yuanmiao Sect, who had found the method to break its vital point.

Having lost its effectiveness, it was naturally taken out and used as one of the rewards for the bounty on the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

So Yunxiao couldn't understand how Han Yi, with his background, could find such an advanced method of external martial arts cultivation.

The clues presented by the other party did not match the typical characteristics of the top-level external martial arts manuals in my memory at all.

“There will always be some undiscovered secret realms that we haven’t found.” Yun Mo wasn’t surprised. “Those alien races have quite a few similar techniques. Besides, Han Yi has some connections with the Tantai family, so it’s normal for him to obtain some powerful external skills from them.”

“That’s true…” Yunxiao said thoughtfully, “So, what’s next…”

The two communicated through their souls at an extremely fast pace, analyzing Han Yi thoroughly and clearly in the blink of an eye, and thus deciding on the encirclement and killing tactics to be used next.

Click...

Motionless, on the bare ground atop the stone pillar, a seemingly ordinary black rock suddenly began to tremble slightly. Crackling sounds echoed...

In an instant, countless cracks spread across the rock.

boom! !

Almost at the same instant the crack appeared, the entire rock shattered and scattered into countless small pieces.

Numerous fragments were shattered and flew up, falling like a rain of stones.

"Huff... huff..."

Han Yi, breathing heavily, slowly stood up.

It is still enormous, over three meters tall.

His skin was covered in a black, viscous substance, like a wound formed by a continuous flow of fresh blood.

It's like a large amount of blood flowing out, then the wound healing, only to be torn open again, mixed with ash, dirt, and other messy filth, then smeared on top. *Sizzle sizzle...*

As Han Yi moved, large swaths of black, foul-smelling substance fell from his body.

The scene inside was utterly devastating.

The once hard, armor-like body now resembled a child's random scribbles, ugly and bizarre.

In some places, black embers from the fire were exposed; in others, the area was completely sunken in, like a deflated balloon. In some places, the flesh was mangled and bloody, with dark red blood slowly oozing out.

As Han Yi stood up, he activated his true energy and bloodline, accelerating his body's healing ability. Fibrous buds grew from the broken, dented, and bleeding areas, and the wounds closed up, healing rapidly.

The newly healed skin surface is noticeably lighter in color than the surrounding area.

Clearly, even though the injuries inflicted by the two Venerables of Yuanmiao Sect appeared to have healed on the surface, their internal defenses had been severely compromised, and their defensive capabilities were far weaker than before. In contrast to the two Venerables of Yuanmiao Sect, who were impeccably dressed and appeared calm and composed, Yun Qingfeng was a different story.

At this moment, Han Yi could only be described as extremely disheveled.

Even so, he slowly raised his head, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was covered in blood and mud.

"The Yuanmiao Sect... even the Martial Arts Venerable... is nothing more than this..."

Even when at a disadvantage, even when seriously injured, even when in pain.

But he ultimately managed to block the attack.

After several real head-on confrontations.

Han Yi then truly discovered the Yuanmiao Sect Martial Dao Venerable, whom he had imagined to be incomparably powerful and unstoppable.

It is really strong.

But it's not nearly as strong as I imagined.

Not an opponent.

But that doesn't mean there's no way to resist. "Ignorance...is the opposite of fearlessness..."

On a stone pillar not far away, Yunmo sneered upon hearing this; "Without experiencing fear... that's why... you believe hope exists."

He hung the short cane on his waist with his back hand and slowly took off his blindfold.

"Yunxiao, we've tested them enough. Let's not waste any more time. If we keep dawdling... people will start laughing at us."

The eyes beneath the eye patch had slightly upturned corners and thick, long eyelashes, just like those of a normal person.

But it remained tightly closed, as if it was enduring something intensely.

"Even you couldn't hold back?" Yunxiao chuckled. "You brat, you don't know your place and dare to make such a boast. Don't blame us for being ruthless."

A sense of crisis surged up rapidly and spread quickly through my mind.

Han Yi suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, and with his keen senses, he sensed that the surrounding space seemed to have undergone some subtle change.

Gravity seemed to materialize, causing the air to stagnate and slowing down movement.

Yunmo removed his blindfold and slowly opened his eyes. In those cold, emotionless eyes, golden pupils stood upright, staring at Han Yi and his surroundings.

His eyes were naturally double pupils.

The two pupils stood upright and intertwined, like the cruel and irrational eyes of a snake, violent and merciless.

A faint, sharp white light gathered on Han Yi.

Without thinking.

Han Yi concentrated his strength, exerted force from his waist, and transmitted the power to his legs. His massive body generated a strong gust of wind, and he suddenly leaped into the air.

The book in front of Yunxiao flipped rapidly, and countless twisted shadows flew out from them—wolf bites, tiger pounces, leopard shadows… all sorts of bizarre and grotesque spirits teleported away, completely enveloping Han Yi. *Sizzle sizzle…*

The powerful physical body flashed red light, and like water stains encountering a red-hot iron, countless spiritual entities turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.

Han Yi casually swayed his body, easily shaking off the remaining embers on his body.

No matter how many of these demonic spirits there are, they cannot pose a threat to him.

Yunxiao understood this principle, but he didn't care, because all he wanted to achieve was to buy some time.

"God beats!"

The entire book exploded open, revealing a huge human face. The features on the blurry face were indistinct, and only a tremendous roar could be heard.

A tremendous roar resounded, and the sound waves could be seen to ripple outwards, even disrupting the clouds in the sky.

A human face instantly attached itself to Yunxiao's body and disappeared into it. A sharp aura exploded outwards.

All of a sudden.

Yunxiao shot out like a gust of wind, disappearing in an instant.

Bang!

A purplish-black palm landed heavily on Han Yi's back.

puff.

Han Yi's expression changed as a tremendous force, no less powerful than his physical body, surged in, leaving a dent in his back. He was sent flying, traveling more than ten meters away.

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !

While still in mid-air, dozens of streaks of purplish-black light suddenly appeared and crashed down on Han Yi.

The multi-layered black shield formed by the condensation of black energy was easily pierced and torn apart as soon as it appeared, like thin paper.

Boom!! A cloud of white smoke exploded between the two, and Han Yi was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the side of a stone pillar before barely managing to stop.

Rumble rumble rumble...

Continuous rocks fell down, the hard rock wall suddenly shattered and fell away, and a large area of ​​the hillside slowly slid down like a mudslide.

boom! ! !

The mountain peaks and stone pillars, which had been bombarded repeatedly, finally gave way.

The upper half of the entire stone pillar, which is tens of meters long, resembles a giant, upside-down sword, falling straight down.

Sizzle sizzle…

The massive half-stone pillar seemed to encounter immense resistance at this moment, and its downward momentum suddenly slowed down, with the entire upper part of the pillar slowly tilting to one side and crashing down.

"That...that is...how is this possible?!" Yunxiao, standing on another stone pillar, suddenly changed his expression. The top of the stone pillar tilted and fell, blocking out the light, and the large shadow it created completely enveloped him.

The mountain-like stone pillar looked as if someone was holding one end of it and slashing down at him with a sword.

Can…...

How can this be?

Putting everything else aside, the weight of this stone pillar alone... must be at least a million kilograms...

Perhaps through the arrangement of various magical artifacts and formations, he might be able to lift it up.

But simply using physical strength, pure brute force, is enough to swing...

It was completely unheard of and utterly unbelievable.
