Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons - Chapter 209 - Chapter 209: Chapter 210 Killing Lady Qinghua_1

Chapter 209: Chapter 210 Killing Lady Qinghua_1

After the late autumn comes the bitter winter.

In the midst of winter, he strove to turn the tide.

Jiang Yuanhua’s increasingly elusive Yin Spirit floated in the sky, his ears filled with the howls of demons. Indeed, it was winter, but the bone-piercing snowstorms violently assailed the demons.

Shen Yi did not go alone to stop the horde of demons outside Qingzhou.

He merely stood in the sky.

In front of that tall silhouette, whether the demons came in or left, whether they were inside Qingzhou or outside, the only difference was where they died.

The bull demon had already lost its will to fight and was fully intent on fleeing.

Every time it soared through the sky, it would be smashed back by a figure in black clothes with a red glow with a single punch.

It used a Precious Tool just to sneak in, but now all it thought about was how to escape.

Bang!

The bull demon was once again blasted back above Qingzhou City, its huge eyes filled only with confusion.

Jiang Qiulan lay quietly on the ground. As the Dao Infant returned to her energy sea, she was left with only half of her field of vision. Even this remaining half was shrouded in blood, becoming blurry.

But she still opened her eyes, trying to see the black-clothed figure that had swept back.

A faint smile played on her lips.

The other stood before herself, and an infinite feeling of safety enveloped her, like a sword returned to its sheath, and she no longer had to worry about anything else.

“…”

Shen Yi shook the blood off his hands.

He felt that it should be about enough.

With a kick, he sent the bull demon’s head reeling back, forcing it to face him.

Shen Yi’s eyes, filled with a red mist, suddenly turned into vertical pupils, eerie and terrifying.

Exhausted to begin with, Lady Qinghua’s will eroded by intense pain, now a sharp, ear-piercing wolf howl abruptly echoed in her mind. In that dizziness, her Divine Soul violently trembled, and then uncontrollably got drawn out of the demon’s body.

She finally saw Jiang Yuanhua in the distance.

She had thought that he was about to perish, but now, she dissipated even faster than the Yin Spirit!

In that ear-piercing howl that shattered gold and split stones, her insubstantial figure flickered out like a candle in the wind, quietly disappearing on the spot.

[Slaying a Primordial Realm blood demon bull, total lifespan 16,000 years, remaining lifespan 12,000 years, absorption complete]

[Remaining demon lifespan: 20,400 years]

“…”

Shen Yi subconsciously opened his mouth, then coughed lightly, storing the massive corpse of the bull demon into his Pocket Treasure.

This battle had cost him eighteen drops of demon blood.

Eager to recover, he had forgotten that he was being watched by a crowd.

Having slain a Demon King with some standing, the news would surely reach many ears.

“Heh heh, heh heh.”

As the massive demon vanished into thin air, the young man also retracted his Dao Infant, and the sky once again became clear.

It was only then that countless people realized they had forgotten to breathe, gasping loudly, which made a rather comical scene, yet not a single person laughed.

Had it not been for the protection of this Grandmaster, Qingzhou City would now be a living hell.

Even now, they were still shrouded in a heavy sense of suffocation.

“Are you okay?”

Shen Yi landed amid the ruins, reaching out his hand to the girl.

“So powerful.”

Jiang Qiulan lay on the ground, her voice weak, but the only eye that she could use shone with light.

This kind of praise had been repeated three times, from Creek Terrace Mountain, to Shuiyun Village, to this very moment.

The first time it was White Deer, the second was because of three demon lords in Tingyang County, and the third was Lady Qinghua, this Demon King.

“I mean, are you okay?”

Shen Yi looked at her speechlessly, pulled her up by the collar with one hand, and the red glow quickly passed through his fingertips.

Jiang Qiulan, powerless, tugged at his sleeve and placed her hand in his palm, lips pursed in a light smile, “Thank you.”

As the red glow moved.

Her injuries healed swiftly, and the blood and flesh on her beautiful face, blurred by demonic power, quickly became nourished.

Jiang Yuanhua cast his gaze downwards.

The girl who had spent her entire life protecting Qingzhou was perhaps enjoying the sensation of being protected by someone else for the first time.

It was only after the woman had returned to her original state that Shen Yi released her hand.

Hong Mang could repair physical bodies, but it was of no help to a shattered Dao Infant.

Both had cultivated the Heaven-Devouring Elixir Technique.

Shen Yi noticed that the other’s aura was significantly weaker than his own, by more than half–he estimated that too much cultivation had been expended during the breakthrough.

However, she was still young and a true genius, so it probably wouldn’t have too much of an impact.

By contrast, the Yin God in the sky, which looked like it could dissipate at any moment, seemed to have an even bigger problem.

Jiang Yuanhua noticed Shen Yi looking at him.

He seriously released the long sword, and though he was a Yin God, he habitually flicked the hem of his robe and kowtowed in mid-air to express his thanks.

“On behalf of the common people of Qingzhou, I thank the Grandmaster for your protection,” he said.

“You’re welcome, General,” replied Shen Yi.

Shen Yi averted his gaze, not quite understanding how such a person could think. One’s life was nearly lost, and yet instead of hastily finding a solution, they were indulging in pointless formalities.

However, the other did have his uses.

Shen Yi did not know many people, but there were a few in Qingzhou City, and if they were to die, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

…

This calamity caused by demons did not last long; the only damage it caused was to half of the Demon-suppression Bureau Office.

But the commotion raised was unprecedented in a millennium for Qingzhou.

A Demon King had silently entered the most heavily guarded city and revealed the ferocity and horror of demons to these complacent martial artists.

Even The Four Great Clans, with Condensation Elixir Experts at their helm, could only stand and wait for death in the face of this demon calamity, just like ordinary people.

The figure in the dark robe was deeply etched in everyone’s memory.

“The Howling Moon Demon King is dead too?” asked Jiang Yuanhua as he followed behind Shen Yi, resembling a lingering ghost.

“Dead,” Shen Yi rubbed his wrist. It was his first time fighting such a tough demon, and he had not felt it during the battle, but now that he had relaxed, he felt exhausted to his core.

“And the three Demon Princes are dead too?” The General kept on asking as he followed.

“Dead,” replied Shen Yi.

Shen Yi turned and glanced at him, his hand clenching into a fist.

Jiang Yuanhua stopped in his tracks and sheepishly said, “Just asking casually.”

“What do you plan to do?” asked Shen Yi, standing with his arms at his sides.

“Anything is fine, I plan to visit the Martial Temple,” said Jiang Yuanhua with an unrestrainable smile on his face. With the demons of Qingzhou swept away, the concern he was most worried about had vanished without a trace.

All the pent-up frustration accumulated over a millennium dissipated.

His body was gone too.

Of course, he could no longer continue as the General.

But nurturing the Yin Spirit wasn’t that difficult; Qingzhou already had a Demon-suppression Great General who had long been ready.

As long as there was enough Incense Willpower, You Longtao could quickly become the new General.

The reason why You Longtao was the chosen one was that on the way here, Jiang Yuanhua had asked many times to confirm that Shen Yi had no intention of taking charge of Qingzhou.

“Then go quickly,” Shen Yi encouraged.

Shen Yi entered the room prepared for him by the Demon-suppression Bureau and slammed the door shut with a bang.

I hadn’t realized before what a chatterbox he was.

Jiang Yuanhua walked through the door: “Even if you are unwilling to be the Acting Commanding General, could you hold the title before You Longtao breaks through to Martial Immortal?”

There was no need to take charge of Qingzhou; just letting the demons know who had once sheltered the city was enough.

Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed, sighed slowly, and his pupils gradually narrowed to slits: “…”

Jiang Yuanhua trembled all over and hurried out of the room.

He had previously witnessed firsthand how the bovine demon was slain.

Such a silent method targeting the Divine Soul was even more domineering than that of the Howling Moon Demon King.

Although the Yin God was much more resilient than an ordinary Divine Soul, he did not dare to underestimate such a technique.
