Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 656: I love you

Chapter 656: I love you

```

He certainly didn’t feel that he and his allies combined would be unable to defeat a single Phoenix Demon, no matter how precious its bloodline was. As long as the adversary remained within the bounds of the Baiyu Capital, there was an upper limit to its strength.

But what about after the killing?

They could easily return to Southern Hong, but where would the Ban Shan Sect go?

"We should at least take a look," said Su Hongxiu, raising an eyebrow and speaking softly. It was imperative to identify who was at the top of the tree so that if they encountered them again, they would be prepared.

Every Cultivator and the Earthly Dark Pythons in the arena turned their gaze in that direction.

However, time ticked by.

Other than the initial breathing sound, there was no other noise emanating from the tree hollow.

Su Hongxiu slightly lifted her sword and shifted her gaze back to the group of Ghost Pythons.

The chills that ran down the spine of the young Ghost Python leader as her gaze swept over him made him glance anxiously back at the treetop.

Had that damned beast been exhausted by his worthless consorts, now regretting its initial bravado and succumbing to fear?!

"Phoenix Lord!"

Threatened by the White Jade Sword, the young Ghost Python leader had no choice but to shout again.

Unfortunately, there was still no response from the tree hollow.

This time, even Yan Chongzhang’s expression became somewhat troubled as he turned his gaze back to the old Python Demon in his hand.

Meanwhile,

High in the tree hollow of that distant treetop dwelling,

The massive Glazed Green Phoenix lay quietly against the wall, silently staring at the two towering figures before it.

Both were ancient, having survived countless years; the Turtle Demon radiated a cruel grin, while the golden-scaled ancient dragon’s eyes were lifeless, as if trapped in an insurmountable emotion, and that expressionless face seemed even more fearsome than the Turtle Demon’s.

"Never heard of you two. Do you have some background?" inquired the Glazed Green Phoenix after carefully observing them. While the Demons’ Boundary might not be particularly terrifying, their Demon Bodies had grown to their peak, even more robust than its own.

Yet it did not panic, casually pushing aside the Ghost Pythons on it.

After all, this was Western Hong, and the Li Qingfeng Clan was a formidable force that could occupy a territory in Western Hong despite the pressure of the Dragon Palace’s displeasure.

Having said that, the Glazed Green Phoenix slowly attempted to rise.

At that moment, entirely unforeseen by the Phoenix, the Turtle Demon suddenly revealed a grim smile and then stomped brutally onto its shoulder wing, pressing it back down hard!

Boom!

Caught off guard, the Glazed Green Phoenix was smashed back to the ground.

Even more astonishing was the immense force from the shoulder that seemed to contain an element of suppression.

Anger surged in its bloodshot eyes: "..."

As it was about to speak, the Turtle Demon bent down, gave its face a light tap, and said, "Did I give you permission to move?"

Compared to that stomp, the force in these two slaps was practically negligible.

But it reignited the Heartflame the Phoenix had just managed to suppress, causing its eyes to redden and its wings to tense up.

"Heh—"

Several nearby Earthly Dark Pythons witnessed this and recoiled in fear, shrinking at the sight of the two unaccountable Demons; not only had they appeared soundlessly, but they also showed no regard for the Phoenix Lord.

Their confidence suggested they might even hail from the Northern Dragon Palace.

"This...it’s a deadly feud now."

The Glazed Green Phoenix coldly eyed the foot on its shoulder, lifting its eyes once more, trying to quell the Heartflame, its voice trembling slightly with a fury that indicated it was enraged beyond measure.

"Tch!"

Hearing this, Wu Jun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The next moment, its features became viciously twisted, with even the faint scars on its face contorting. Without any mercy, it scoffed, "What are you that you think you can be an enemy of this Lord?"

These words made the already confident Glazed Green Phoenix begin to doubt its understanding of them.

Its planned sudden motion hesitated.

Indeed, it had never seen such bizarre Demons. By their apparent ages, they should have reached the Unity Realm Stage long ago, but while their bodies developed, their Boundary seemed as if it had stalled... yet if it was only Baiyu Capital, how did they manage to live to such an age?

And how had they so calmly entered this cavern without it noticing at all?

Could they really be from some untouchable, powerful faction?

"Stay put and wait for my master to question you, make a single move..."

Wu Jun couldn’t be bothered to waste more words, and suddenly, he grasped the slender neck of the Glazed Green Phoenix, slamming its head viciously against the wooden wall!

Crack—

Under this immense force, even the Black Stone Ancient Tree violently split open.

As the Glazed Green Phoenix felt dizzy from the blow, the rich scent of blood reached its nostrils. It instinctively turned its head, and its pupils abruptly constricted.

It saw that the golden-scaled ancient dragon, without uttering a word, squatted down, expressionlessly extended its sharp claws.

With each strike, a Ghost Python’s head would burst open.

Throughout the process, its eyes were as calm as ancient wells, as if its mind wandered beyond the heavens.

Engaged in slaughter, yet its thoughts seemed to be elsewhere entirely.

How many beings must have been killed to attain such indifference?

Even the Glazed Green Phoenix, who prided itself on cruelty, now felt somewhat inferior and a peculiar, almost imperceptible fear surged within it.

It wasn’t until seven or eight Ghost Pythons had their heads crushed without resistance that the golden-scaled ancient dragon slowly stood up. Then, as if sensing something, it gradually retreated to the entrance of the cave.

Wu Jun likewise released the Glazed Green Phoenix.

With the strength of those two, they might have had an opportunity to defeat the Great Demon, but it would certainly not have been silent, and the cultivators below would have seen it, which was against their master’s wishes.

Moreover, their original duty was to take advantage of the Town Stone’s Breath Concealment Technique to scout the area for their master and find the most precious demon.

Thus, Wu Jun had been merely intimidating from the beginning.

The remaining matters had nothing to do with them.

It retreated to the entrance of the cave as well and then both figures transformed into streaks of light and disappeared.

"..."

The Glazed Green Phoenix’s eyes widened again. With its level of cultivation, it could not detect how these two Great Demons had left or where they had gone.

When had Western Hong developed such an eerie force?

Struggling to rise, it heard the sounds of combat outside growing louder, knowing this was because it had failed to show up, causing the Ban Shan Sect cultivators to misunderstand that the Glazed Green Phoenix Clan did not wish to intervene.

Upon this thought, the Glazed Green Phoenix felt dizzy for a moment, unsure whether to continue getting involved or not.

At that moment, it suddenly looked up.

At the entrance of the cave, a figure in dark robes slowly stepped in. Tall and lean, with a fair and handsome face, the youth was infinitely more amiable than the two Great Demons before him.

Moreover, there was less eeriness; at least the aura on his body was solid and clearly perceptible, obviously that of a cultivator.

But with the experience it just had, the Glazed Green Phoenix dared not let its guard down.

If such bizarre demons existed, it no longer seemed strange for cultivators and Great Demons to coexist in the same force.

It swallowed hard, recalling Wu Jun’s recent words.

Something about... "Stay put and wait for my master to question you."

The Glazed Green Phoenix eyed the young man with trepidation and tentatively asked, "My master?"

"..."

Shen Yi paused, having killed so many demons.

This one was the first to be so cooperative.

For a moment, he did not know how to respond.

However, hearing the battle raging outside, Shen Yi shook his head, not wanting to waste more time.

He was already late due to unsuccessful divinations, and any further hesitation would waste his own Lifespan Years.

"What do you wish to ask of me?" The Glazed Green Phoenix was truly intimidated by the earlier encounter with the two demons, so much so that facing a Baiyu Capital Cultivator of only the Unity Realm Stage, it still did not dare to act rashly, seeking first to understand the situation.

At that, Shen Yi approached slowly and then gently gestured for the creature to lean in with its ear.

The Glazed Green Phoenix looked around at the unavoidable confines of the cave and the bodies of Python Demons strewn about, hesitated a moment, and then, with utmost vigilance, propped up its massive body and brought its head closer, "I am of the Glazed Green Phoenix Clan, no matter what you are..."

Its words came to an abrupt halt.

For on its slender neck, there suddenly came a muffled ’thud’, followed by the spatter of hot Blood Plasma, which ran down along the straight blade of the dark sword, staining the Golden Pattern on the back of the sword red.

The Glazed Green Phoenix instinctively looked up, only to find that Shen Yi’s dark eyes had begun to flicker with purple light, dancing like candle flames.

The once amiable pale face was now utterly impassive.
