Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 585 - 585 494 There is Strength in Numbers_3

Chapter 585: Chapter 494: There is Strength in Numbers_3 Chapter 585: Chapter 494: There is Strength in Numbers_3 “Please leave.”

After speaking, the two demons extended their hands, making a gesture of seeing off guests.

“…”

Chi Yang Elder suddenly clenched his fist; Elder Liu was indeed here.

As he had guessed, this stubborn mule had gotten involved with the Dragon Palace, and given the situation, it was even possible that he had entangled with one of the Dragon Princes.

In the end, he chose to settle it privately.

Seeing the calm and composed appearance of these two demons, chances were that the situation was quite unfavorable.

“This must be Sect Master Shen, right?”

The Water Demon looked at Shen Yi again and said with an amused smile, “You may enter, of course. After all, Elder Liu has treated you quite well. However, I feel obliged to warn you, it’s not your turn yet. It’s better not to make Elder Liu die with his eyes wide open in regret.”

“SectMaster Shen, please go back first.” It seemed as though Chi Yang had made some kind of decision.

Just then, he saw the young man in the ink robe take a step forward, as if he hadn’t seen the two demons, and walked straight into the cave.

In the moment he passed by the two demons,

a breeze seemed to waft by, lifting the sleeves of his robe.

Crack! A muffled blast sounded.

The heads of the two demon creatures collided instantly, scattering bone shards and splatters of blood.

Shen Yi lightly wiped the bloodstain from his palm, his figure vanishing into the depths of the cave.

“Ah?”

Chi Yang was stunned for an instant; a second ago, the two demons were still smiling, and in a flash, they had turned into warm, lifeless corpses.

And on Sect Master Shen’s person, there wasn’t even a ripple of breath.

Just based on this skill alone, it was impossible for the other party to be merely at the late stage of Return to Void as they appeared.

“To hell with the rules.”

Chi Yang cursed and also strode into the cave.

At that moment,

inside the Immortal’s Cave, heavy breathing echoed like thunder.

Clearly, the three massive demons had not expended a small amount of energy.

But the result their expenditure had achieved was quite gratifying.

The slender figure leaning against the cave wall, resting on the Crescent Moon Blade, his pitch-black moon robe already in tatters, transformed into azure light and returned to the midst of Longhan Great City. The tightly shut gates of the city were so unshakable, as if they also cut off the path of life for this middle-aged cultivator.

Perhaps Liu Shiqian could individually defeat any of these three demons.

But when they joined forces, coupled with years of cooperation, their strength was not something that could be simply added up.

A three-day span that usually passed in a flick of a finger now seemed unbearably long.

Less than two hours had passed, and the outcome was already decided.

“Huff.”

Liu Shiqian silently gazed at the third city, looming faintly behind the clouds.

Too bad he was not a cultivator favored by destiny.

Such on-the-spot breakthroughs were unlikely to happen to someone like him, who had advanced steadily and surely all the way. From the first Azure Luan Immortal Palace, he had always been down-to-earth. On good days, he might gain insight into the Heavenly Palaces, though common spirit palaces were not few either.

After entering White Jade Capital, he barely saw three cities.

But the previously unyielding gates were now hopeless to contemplate.

“Tsk.”

Liu Shiqian spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm.

He straightened his posture again, and the almost shattered Crescent Moon Blade in his hand pointed forward once more.

The three demons’ faces revealed smiles, ready to speak, but their eyes suddenly took on a teasing glint.

A pale hand gently pressed against the back of the blade.

Then the figure walked forward, the swaying ink robe obscuring Liu Shiqian’s line of sight, standing in front of the three massive demons.

“You really got beaten up like this?”

Chi Yang, who arrived a step late, supported Liu Shiqian and scolded, disappointed, “Do you have a problem in your head? Going around preaching morality and rules to demons?”

“How did you guys get here?”

Liu Shiqian frowned slightly, using the back of his hand to wipe away the unstoppable blood flowing from his nose.

He looked at Chi Yang with a hint of blame.

Understanding his old friend’s meaning, Chi Yang Elder complained, “It wasn’t me who brought him here; it was Sect Master Shen who brought me.”

Liu Shiqian said nothing more, but gripped the blade once again.

He looked at the figure in front of him with some emotion. The other’s shoulders, wrapped in the ink robe, were not particularly broad.

But that demeanor truly was on par with the other Daozi.

Although he was not good with words, his judgment of people was as accurate as ever.

“Hold off the demons, let the Sect Master leave first.”

Liu Shiqian no longer stood on ceremony with his old friend, and the Crescent Moon Blade once again radiated a clear glow.

The Long-nosed Aquatic Elephant raised its arms leisurely, staring at Chi Yang Elder, “If you had come a bit earlier, perhaps there might have been a slim chance of survival… But now, it’s a bit too late.”

Liu Shiqian’s strength was reduced by sixty percent.

Even with Chi Yang added, it wouldn’t make much difference.

As for the young man in the ink robe, they didn’t take him seriously at all.

“Bullying the few with numbers, look how proud you are,” Chi Yang sneered, his fingertip also touching his brow, a long rainbow slightly weaker than Liu Shiqian’s linked heaven and earth, also summoning the shadowy shapes of Long Han and Chi Ming Great City.

“We who serve in the Dragon Palace, we don’t mind bullying the few with numbers, in fact, we quite enjoy it.”

The Three-headed Snake Demon was not angry but instead emitted a series of gloomy laughs.

One of its three heads then leisurely turned towards the ink robed figure, “Sect Master Shen, what’s the word? Are you tired of living, coming here on your own to give my brothers a chance for a great merit? Or should we include you as well, making it three, a perfect one-on-one?”

In full view of everyone.

A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yi’s fair and handsome face, “No need.”

“Oh?” taunted the Snake Demon, flicking its tongue.

But the young man lifted his head, the smile fading, and solemnly said, “I too enjoy bullying the few with numbers.”

As his words fell, two streaks of Spiritual Light flashed out.

They transformed into creatures of equally immense size, quietly appearing behind the three Great Demons.

The hundred zhang tall Fleshwing Silkworm rose up, its wings nearly blotting out the sky as it whipped up wind and sand, like a terrifying behemoth awakening once more.

The golden turtle, its body shining like flowing metal, crawled on the ground, gently caressing the bald head of the aquatic elephant with a front claw, then began to smack it wildly, jeering, “Think you have more people? Is it enough? Tell me if it’s enough! Speak up!”

“You gone mute?”

“Your lordship is telling you to speak!”

The tall Elephant Demon appeared weak in front of the giant turtle, its head being smacked forcefully as it bowed silently.

The situation seemed to be turning awry.

The other two Great Demons also became instantly vigilant, their earlier ease gone.

“…”

Liu Shiqian and Chi Yang exchanged glances.

The appearance of those two stone puppets looked familiar, yet completely different from what they remembered.

Their dense aura made both men feel alien.
