Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 742 - 550 I Don’t Need Such Explanation

Chapter 742: Chapter 550 I Don’t Need Such Explanation

"The old rules, as long as you can scratch my skin, this venerable one will..."

Yue Tianji shook the bell in his hand, yet before he could finish his sentence, he saw the young man in the profound armor standing up, turning around and throwing a punch with a booming smash!

The fist peak was devoid of any fancy tricks, purely the discharge of physical strength.

Under the perfection of the Shen Yue Art and the blessing of four Immortal Cities, the fine scales on Yue Tianji’s face abruptly shattered, and his body rolled out violently.

Apart from physical strength, the Heartflame wrapped around that fist rapidly engulfed him.

"Clear Stream Purifies the Soul!"

Yue Tianji’s body spasmed as he pinched a spell, even when flipped onto the ground, without needing to think, he instinctively used the method to cope with the Heartflame.

His expression quickly returned to normal.

However, Shen Yi paid no attention to what he was doing, merely walking over calmly, bending down to pick up the bell, and then hanging it at his waist.

"You’re indeed here for this too! You’re not allowed to escape! Not allowed to escape!"

Yue Tianji flipped up, pinching another spell, obviously exerting great effort, managing to employ all these cultivator techniques with demonic power in a convincing manner.

From the aura, it was yet again a Spiritual Technique, at least at the Great Achievement Realm.

Two solid jade dragons roared out from his arms, furiously slamming towards Shen Yi’s shoulders, the surging momentum nearly crumbling everything in the Immortal’s Cave.

But those jade dragons shattered like fragile glass upon contact with the pitch-black shoulder armor!

The profound armor, having been enhanced by the Town Stone, was already not as it had been, beyond comparison to before.

Yue Tianji looked on somewhat absently at the scene before him.

But in a blink, his gaze was once again occupied by the fist peak.

Crack—

Shen Yi’s expression was detached, his movements unhurried as he smashed Yue Tianji’s eye sockets and nose bridge, as if he had forgotten about those techniques like Tianyan Forty-Nine, only left with the simplest and most brutal straight punches.

Rustle rustle!

Yue Tianji pinched another spell, his figure becoming elusive, disregarding Shen Yi’s aura lock, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

He gasped for breath, with his bloody, blurry vision looking ahead, only to see that Shen Yi had also vanished... The other party had not used any Teleportation Technique, but had merely pressed a mountain onto him; it wasn’t that Shen Yi was fast, it was his own reaction that had slowed down.

Instinctively, Yue Tianji turned his head back, and his already cracked lips tore again, emitting a sound like gold breaking and stones cracking!

It was a technique aimed at the Divine Soul.

Indeed, he had guessed Shen Yi’s location, and upon realizing that ordinary techniques couldn’t break through that profound armor, he decisively adopted a different offensive method.

But the sound of gold breaking and stones cracking only made the Yin Yang Badge at Shen Yi’s waist flicker, while not the slightest ripple of expression appeared on his fair face.

White Jade Protects the Divine.

The third punch came thundering down, directly collapsing half of Yue Tianji’s shoulder bones, sending him flying out again like a broken sack!

"..."

Xuan Qing silently stared at the scene before him, even forgetting to breathe.

In these hundred thousand years, Yue Tianji seemed to have invested tremendous effort, becoming more and more like himself.

The other side appeared to have forgotten that he was actually a demon.

Even if he just ate, drank, and slept, with the terrifying foundation of the Yue Family, coupled with his formidable bloodline, he should already have been on par with Union Dao.

But what truly complicated Xuan Qing’s thoughts was Yue Tianji’s performance against Shen Yi at this moment, which could be described in just four words.

Ostentatious and gimmicky.

All his myriad techniques had still failed to inflict even a superficial wound on Shen Yi.

This also meant that even in his heyday, facing the current Sect Master Shen, the situation wouldn’t be much better.

How much time has passed...

Xuan Qing even felt he was seeing a future True Immortal, one that could ascend to the Celestial Court.

But now, because of his own reasons, trouble had once again entangled him.

With this thought in mind, he struggled to turn his head, looking towards Zi Lan who was also stunned, casting a pleading look at her.

"Heh—"

Fairy Zi Lan breathed rapidly, she of course knew what Xuan Qing was concerned about, like the eldest son of the Yue Family, she too possessed something akin to a Life Token, no matter how clean the action, the news couldn’t be concealed.

"Stop! He is Yue Tianji!"

"Daoist Shen, please trust me once more, I swear in the name of the East Dragon Palace, I will give the South Hong Seven Sons a satisfactory explanation!"

The response to her was yet another punch from Shen Yi.

In between his palms, it was as if two Shen Yue mountains were anchored, with every punch capable of making Yue Tianji’s body explode.

"Crazy! He’s gone crazy!"

Yue Tiance watched with growing horror, and he even felt somewhat relieved that it wasn’t himself who had made a move against Xuan Qing.

Who would have thought that a cultivator they chanced upon outside Red Maple Valley could suppress his brother to such a crushing extent!

Yue Tiance even felt that Shen Yi still had strength to spare, merely toying with his brother.

One should know... the eldest son of the Yue Family could spar with Xuan Qing a hundred thousand years ago, now solely relying on his Demon Body, he far surpassed those cultivators from the four cities, not to mention he had also cultivated Myriad Laws.

A genuine first person below Union Dao! An existence that stands above the Daoist Soldier Record.

What level were these Dao Soldiers that Shen Yi had, to be so terrifying?

"Roar! Roar!"

Yue Tianji lay prostrate on the ground, his demonic power dissipating yet forcibly being condensed again.

An inexplicably trembling aura slowly spread out.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Qing forcefully sat up, a Demon attempting to use demonic power to cast Immortal Laws?!

Was this what the other side had been doing for the past hundred thousand years?

"You... give me some time... I’ll show you... prove which one of us..."

With his head caved in, Yue Tianji used his feeble voice to let out a sharp laugh.

Shen Yi walked slowly to the man’s side and raised his boot, clad in profound armor that glistened with a cold light, and without haste, crushed the man’s limbs. Amidst Yue Tianji’s unwilling howls, he kicked him against a beam.

"I must inform the South Dragon King!"

Yue Tiance quickly took out the communication magic treasure, the more he looked, the more wrong it seemed. This madman really appeared to dare to kill the legitimate son of the Yue Family, not merely venting his anger!

"..."

Zi Lan looked at Yue Tiance and then at Shen Yi.

For a moment, she couldn’t even speak.

She didn’t even know what she was here for, whom she should advise, whom she wanted to protect.

Just then, Yue Tiance’s face filled with doubt and uncertainty as he stared at the jade slip in his hand, wishing he could shatter it with demonic power.

The next moment, as if realizing something, he twisted his head to look outside the cave.

When had it happened? Five figures had already quietly stood there, but they weren’t looking at Yue Tiance; all their eyes were focused on Shen Yi.

"Please, respected seniors, stop him quickly. If South Hong is already on the brink of chaos, if North Hong gets involved as well..."

Zi Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly paid her respects to the Sect Masters of the South Hong Seven Sons.

The five figures nodded slightly in greeting, but showed no intention to act.

Even the Fairy Zi Lan was stunned, watching as Shen Yi walked over to the side of the beam.

At this moment, Yue Tianji, just like Xuan Qing before, had lost his limbs and his bones were all crushed; he could only widen his eyes and stare at the raised palm.

Shen Yi looked down on the man before him, then shifted his gaze away without the slightest hesitation and backhandedly smashed the man’s head.

Blood plasma dripped down his fingertips.

The insignificant dripping sound made even Yue Tiance feel like he could no longer hear his own heartbeat.

He turned stiffly to the Sect Masters: "You... you dare to block my message... You let him kill my brother..."

Fairy Zi Lan also stared at them, filled with incomprehension.

The Heavenly Sword Sect Master silently looked towards Shen Yi in the distance. What did ’letting’ mean? The other was a Sect Master, just like them, an equal.

Of course, in addition to that, the strength displayed by the young Sect Master Shen just now was also a reason why they remained quiet.

Compared to his performance when he killed Liu Xingshan during the Seven Sons Grand Assembly, his return from Western Hong this time could definitely be called a significant leap forward.

"Have you calmed down now?"

The Ling Yue Sect Master wore a bitter expression; the Sect Master they had recognized in their own assembly had to be swallowed even if it meant breaking teeth.

He looked towards Xuan Qing beside him, probably understanding why Sect Master Shen acted this way.

After all, Sect Master Shen’s title was linked closely to Xuan Qing, who once went door-to-door to the other six sects.

Hearing this peer-like tone, Yue Tiance finally reacted, roared furiously, "You really are in cahoots!"

Without hesitation, he turned and transformed into a black cloud, swiftly fleeing through the cave entrance.

"..."

Shen Yi didn’t turn to look at them, but slowly raised his fingertip: "I also want his life."

Despite speaking to several Unity Realm Stage Sect Masters, his voice carried not a hint of negotiation; he even gave Zi Lan Fairy the impression that he was issuing a command.

The Sect Masters exchanged helpless glances.

Well, killing one was killing, killing two was no different; it seemed to make no real difference.

In a flash, the Ling Yue Sect Master’s stern face was crossed by a cold light and with a slight gesture, a black cloud came tumbling back, as if an invisible hand palm pressed it fiercely under Shen Yi’s feet.

"Daoist Shen! I have never offended you!"

While Yue Tiance struggled fiercely, he also looked fearfully at the Ling Yue Sect Master.

Being able to break his Black Cloud Divine Skill so easily was not strength normally possessed by a casual Union Dao cultivator!

"I didn’t do anything! You can’t kill me! I have a Life Token!"

Listening to these noisy pleas,

Shen Yi lowered his gaze towards the person below, casually raised his hand, and the Wu Sheng Palm immediately enveloped him.

Under the suppression of the Ling Yue Sect Master, within just a breath’s time, the expression on Yue Tiance’s face became permanently fixed, as his entire body quietly split into countless pieces.

"..."

Shen Yi exhaled softly.

He didn’t want to know what the Sect Masters were thinking, whether they would come to save Xuan Qing; he just needed them to take a stand.

Whether they truly wanted to fight, or to ask for peace halfway through the battle.

If the Alliance Sects did not intend to engage in battle with the Dragon Palace, then he might as well close the sect gates and not ask for reinforcements, roaming alone, not troubling others, and handling matters much more conveniently.

At least for now, the outcome wasn’t bad.

Shen Yi waved his hand slightly and the profound armor turned into golden light, returning to the Immortal City, replaced by a broad robe of White Jade from Nanyang.

Witnessing this scene,

The Sect Masters shook their heads and smiled at each other.

The South Hong Seven Sons were indeed proactive in asking someone to become a Sect Master.

Compared to the Sect Masters’ expressions, Fairy Zi Lan was once again stunned; considering the relationship between the East Dragon Palace and the South Hong Seven Sons, how could she not know what that White Jade robe symbolized?

That was the identity of the Sect Master of Nanyang!

No wonder... No wonder these seniors didn’t stop him; that’s because the decisions he made could already represent the South Hong Seven Sons!

"I said I would give you an explanation," Fairy Zi Lan suddenly felt dizzy, realizing that the South Hong Seven Sons indeed planned to re-emerge.

She spoke hesitantly: "I said I would give you an accounting, so why... why let things get to this point?"

Shen Yi bent down to help up Xuan Qing.

At her words, he glanced at her indifferently: "If you mean the kind of ’accounting’ where people talk about revenge or make amends after someone has died..."

Shen Yi’s gaze returned from her, walking towards the cave entrance and said indifferently, "I don’t need that."
