Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Why Not Take the Heaven-Ascending Path_1

Shen Yi lowered his eyes towards the three protective arrays on his body.

A trace of peculiarity appeared in his eyes.

Did this uncle and niece assume that he would force his way in?

The sudden outbreak of violence earlier was only because he discovered something amiss with the tea, which did not mean that Shen Yi was confident enough to believe he could single-handedly purge the entire Zheng Family.

Consider the most straightforward point.

Up until now, the Zheng Family had not activated their Mountain Protection Array.

It was just like what he had witnessed in the Li State Instrument Sect, for any sect or family, the first response when facing an irresistible force would be to deploy the formation against the enemy.

With the current situation.

It indicated that with the strength Shen Yi had just displayed, he still hadn’t truly threatened the Zheng Family.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi took out the formation diagram A’Qing had prepared in advance, “If they fully activate this, what would the effect be approximately?”

The formation originated from the Xu Family’s craftsmanship, which A’Qing was naturally well acquainted with.

She immediately gave a reply, “Even for a cultivator at the Transcendent Spirit Early Stage, if it targets only him, it could trap him for at least ten days. If the other party has no understanding of the formation whatsoever, there’s even a possibility of injuring him.”

“Of course, formations are but inanimate objects, and cultivators can simply leave the mansion to escape its grasp.”

Having said that, A’Qing also looked around with puzzlement.

The entire mansion was deathly silent, it seemed as if all members of the Zheng Family vanished in the blink of an eye, completely undefended, as if to tell the three people that staying or leaving was their choice.

As if realizing something, she exclaimed, “I understand now, once the Mountain Protection Array is activated, it would indicate that they are facing a catastrophe that could lead to their annihilation. Moreover, such a colossal momentum would definitely be noticed by outsiders.”

“After all, the Zheng Family is backed by the Mysterious Light Cave and is no easy target. Once this matter concludes, according to common sense, they will inevitably condemn the invading enemies and cannot pretend as if nothing happened, otherwise it would seem somewhat cowardly… They do not want other forces to notice what’s happening here.”

Holding her aunt, A’Qing voiced her doubts again, “But we have already seen these people’s transformations; does the Zheng Family dare to let us go?”

Let us go?

Shen Yi swept a glance around him slightly.

With the enhancement of the Golden Eagle Divine Ability, not even the slightest movement could escape his sight.

The surroundings were as quiet as death.

Everything seemed frozen in time.

Yet, this gave rise to an inexplicable sense of immense danger, as if a venomous snake were lurking, waiting for the right moment to strike a lethal blow.

North, south, east, west, heaven and earth.

No matter where he looked, that perilous feeling did not diminish in the slightest.

What kind of monstrous creature was hidden within these green mountains?

“Faster.”

Shen Yi commanded inwardly and then decisively stood still.

Since the enemy was unwilling to act, he was even less in a hurry.

“Reporting to my lord, one hour.” Qinghua’s voice was filled with a cold murderous intent, suggesting at all costs, which meant she would come directly, driving the Golden Body without concealment.

A fully charging Transcendent Spirit Golden Body was enough to drive away all living creatures in the vicinity.@@novelbin@@

Upon hearing this.

Shen Yi gathered his mind; the Dao Infant Red Gleam throbbed beneath his skin.

Without any slackness.

At that moment, he suddenly stamped the ground and his body soared into the sky.

Right where Shen Yi had been standing, a thorny vine burst forth from the earth, its sharp tips like spearheads aiming directly at his eyes!

The dark robe swirled as the young man caught the vine in his hands, twisting his body aside.

In his palm, a purplish-gold flame surged and licked upwards.

While the previous Zheng Family members acted as if they were impervious to pain, this vine writhed as if alive, trembling in agony.

Shen Yi’s arm suddenly exerted strength, pulling out the vine along with its roots.

The hundred-zhang-long vine tumbled through the air as Shen Yi single-handedly tore open the ground of the entire mansion.

The thing Shen Yi hated the most was being ambushed by others.

Having seized the main body of the Year Wood, where would he be willing to let go now? His entire being seemed as ferocious as a demon, and the aura within the Heaven-Devouring Dao Infant transformed into purple-gold flames through the True Sun Qilin Stone as if it were costless.

The flames spread along the vines, as if about to set the entire mountain villa ablaze!

Indeed, it seemed as though there was no one around.

In fact, he was being watched all along.

That Year Wood could even discern that he was relying on the Golden Eagle’s eyes and aimed to disable these eyes right from the start.

Putt! Putt! Putt!

With a series of sounds of the earth being pierced, more than ten new vines burst forth from the ground and attacked Shen Yi from all directions!

The figure in the ink robe twisted and turned in the air.

His arms were quickly entangled by the vines.

If it were someone else, they would probably have been torn apart already.

But Shen Yi’s expression grew colder, and he suddenly swung his arms. Many Demon Kings inside him roared together, the fierce aura on the crimson patterns surged into the sky, accompanied by the purple-gold flames, and an immense force erupted!

Boom—

The vines were continuously torn apart and hung down powerlessly before quickly retreating underground.

The niece and uncle were buried by the dust that was kicked up.

Fortunately, they were protected by a Formation.

“This is too terrifying.”

A’Qing covered her ears and looked through the dust towards the figure in the sky.

“…”

At this moment, Xu Wanyun, whose Divine Soul was bitten by hundreds of ghosts, could only blink.

The Great Demon that could cover the entire mountain villa with its vines was indeed terrifying, but Shen Yi, who relied purely on his physical strength to wrestle with such a Great Demon and even won, made it very hard to distinguish if he was a cultivator or a demon.

There was another issue.

The Zheng Family didn’t want to cause too much of a commotion, which was why they hadn’t activated the Array yet.

But letting Shen Yi continue to fight like this, the momentum wasn’t much less than that of the Mountain-protecting Array.

Next, it was either to start the Array to signal for support from the Mysterious Light Cave or there was another backup plan…

As if to confirm Xu Wanyun’s thoughts.

A strange figure suddenly flew over from a distance.

It was extremely emaciated, more like a humanoid piece of wood than a person, with withered and tattered human skin hanging off its body, as well as nearly decayed clothing.

All over its body were densely packed vines that connected with the entire mountain range.

It was as if it was a marionette.

Its hollow eye sockets stared at Shen Yi, and its voice was coarse as if rusted iron grinding together, yet it still carried a hint of a human’s perplexity: “Why… do you not ascend… the Heaven-Ascending Path?”

“The Family Head of the Zheng Family?”

A’Qing rubbed her eyes, and it took her a long time to recognize his identity from the decayed clothes he wore.

The Heaven-Ascending Path?

As a member of the Xu Family, A’Qing understood better than anyone else the cultivators’ longing to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.

To call it the Heaven-Ascending Path wasn’t wrong.

But having turned into such a ghostly appearance, who in the end was going to ascend to heaven? Was it still a person from the Zheng Family?

“Come up!”

The wailing voice exploded in the air.

The decayed old man opened his arms towards Shen Yi as if welcoming him to join.

In the midst of his words, his arms swelled rapidly, like withered trees that covered the skies, completely enveloping the ink robe figure in the sky.

Among those withered trees, numerous tender green sprouts shot out towards Shen Yi’s body.

Compared to that Spiritual Tea.

This method was truly an invitation for the youth to join, to become the master of the Year Wood, just like the old man…
