Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 372: Chapter 370: Slaying Thunder Hoof and Entering the Law Storage Pavilion

“…”

The sudden smash of an object startled Thunder Hoof, causing its scales to explode into fragments. Only when it saw that the object was simply a common Jade Slip did embarrassment and anger surge in all four of its eyes. It then poised itself aggressively, ready to fight for its life, and bellowed:

“You lowlife, how dare you insult me!”

Within the pitch-black light screen, countless crimson eyes looked down at the Jade Slip on the ground.

Profound Abyss Spider Emperor finally spoke, “Is what it said true or false?”

But this time, it directed the question towards the Golden Eyes Lion.

“There’s both truth and falsehood,” Shen Yi calmly met its gaze.

“Which parts are false?” Profound Abyss Spider Emperor slowly rose to its feet as four thick spider limbs extended out from the light screen.

“Apart from that one sentence, almost all of it is false,” Shen Yi replied with neither servility nor overbearing pride.

“Which sentence?” The Spider Emperor asked, now somewhat curious.

Hearing this, Shen Yi looked down upon Thunder Hoof with a slow voice that gradually filled with a vicious intent: “I indeed plan to tear it apart alive.”

At these words, the Spider Emperor abruptly stepped out from the light screen, getting close to the lion’s face: “On what do you base that?”

“Because I need an explanation.”

Facing the nearby crimson eyes, Shen Yi showed neither fear nor avoidance, and disdainfully said: “Unless you particularly enjoy being used, where a few rumors are enough to make a Great Demon Emperor blindly obey.”

“Hiss!”

Anger flickered in the eyes of Profound Abyss Spider Emperor.

But still, it made no move.

It seemed to be pondering something.

“Spider Emperor, I didn’t…” Seeing the tide turn, Thunderhoof Demon Emperor suddenly became enraged once more, furiously stamping its hooves, yet not daring to actually approach the Golden Eyes Lion: “You dare slander me! You’re seeking death!”

Profound Abyss Spider Emperor slowly looked over, observing its panicking demeanor.

Suddenly feeling bored.

It was at this moment that the Spider Emperor quietly raised its head to peer at the sky.

There, a massive Golden-Winged fierce demon appeared at some point, watching this place intently: “I’m giving you one chance, come with me now,” it declared.

“…”

As though he hadn’t heard, Shen Yi continued to stare at the spider.

Profound Abyss Spider Emperor’s gaze turned cold, and it suddenly laughed: “Golden Wings, you come to my territory and with just one sentence you expect to take away my person? I’m injured, not dead.”

A Demon Emperor who could withstand the onslaught of three Wutong Mountain disciples.

Most of the time these seasoned beings couldn’t even leave their dens, holding onto such a heart would undeniably be advantageous.

Especially given Thunder Hoof’s poor performance; by comparison, that sense was even more pronounced.

This lion had knowingly returned the complete Jade Slip, including the upper volume, despite knowing it was a trap.

Although it seemed to have a fierce temper, such a subordinate who doesn’t hide their emotions is actually more reassuring than the lying Thunder Hoof.

Who wouldn’t be fiery after being wrongfully accused and nearly killed? It’s a simple truth.

If the Golden Eyes Lion had truly switched allegiance to the Nine Patterns Tiger, then why would this mother tiger rush over in such a hurry?

The Spider Emperor admitted to itself that it was somewhat tempted.

“Family affairs should be settled internally.”

With that comment, it returned to the pitch-black light screen.

Rather than forcibly keeping two demons who were at each other’s throats, potentially presenting them as a gift to the Golden-Winged Nine Patterns Tiger, it would be better to retain only the sharper blade for its own use.

“Answer me!” the Golden-Winged Nine Patterns Tiger seemed to pay no heed to anyone else’s words; her focus was solely on the lion.

If she didn’t get the answer she wanted, she would be ready to confront old Spider, even if it means cutting down this lion in her vengeance today.

The dignity of the Ten Great Demon Emperors cannot be trifled with.

However, what unfolded next left the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor frozen in the sky.

Saw the lion nonchalantly turn its head and said indifferently: “What’s the rush? I said I would deal with it after finishing my business.”

“…”

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor had not expected this damn beast, after deceiving her, to still appear so composed, without any sign of guilt.

She forcibly suppressed her rage, baring her fangs: “How long will it take?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi turned around, his golden eyes flickering with ferocity.

The deep voice echoed in place: “Don’t worry, it’ll be quick.”

The Golden-Winged Nine Patterns Demon Emperor watched his sturdy back, his shoulders slightly raised with an aggressive beauty about them.

She took a deep breath.

And without another word, remained floating in the air.

“You… you all…”

Thunderhoof Demon Emperor’s eyes widened, its breathing becoming more frantic.

It was at a complete loss.

This was Thousand Demon Cave, in the presence of two of the Ten Great Demon Emperors… and now this lion was about to attack it right in front of them, with no one intervening?

What in the world was going on?

“Have you all gone mad? It’s going to kill me! It just killed the Roe Demon, it…”

Thunder Hoof’s words trembled with anger, its resentment pounding against its heart. It went berserk and roared at the lion: “Come on then, I’ll fight you to the death! Let’s see who dies first!”

The roar suddenly ceased.

Boom!

Shen Yi swiftly threw a punch, his robust arm seemed to contain the incomparable force of mountains and rivers, his sharp claws slamming fiercely onto Thunder Hoof’s head.

Smashing it violently to the ground.

Nine demons surged forth within his body, transforming into crimson patterns that spread over his skin, and an overwhelming demonic power swept out in all directions!

With his current body-refining strength, Shen Yi was still far from being able to crush the Demon Emperor of the Seventeenth Cave, probably still a notch weaker.

But Thunder Hoof had been scared out of his wits when he previously saw the lion dealing with the disciples of Wutong Mountain.

He had no intention of grappling with it.

He let Shen Yi pin him to the ground and instinctively chose a stronger Divine Skill.

The green in his eyes was instantly covered by purple.

The surging Thunder Plasma shot straight into the sky, turning the hundred-mile sky into thunderclouds, which then, like countless sharp claws, continuously struck down at the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor!

Amidst such a vast onslaught of Thunder Plasma.

Shen Yi focused on gripping Thunder Hoof’s neck while freeing his right hand, into which the Youwei Spear, turned into dark flowing light, fell into his palm.

He raised his right arm and thrust the spear into Thunder Hoof’s chest with a splash.

Blood sprayed onto his mane, adding a few more fierce traces to that ferocious face.

His back quickly turned charred black under the Thunder Plasma, as if it would be split apart on the spot.

But Shen Yi did not resist.

He released Thunder Hoof’s neck, and with both hands, he dug into the flesh beneath the scales through the wound made by the Youwei Spear, his fingernails glowing blue as he violently tore the wound into a gash.

In just a few breaths, the Thunder Plasma had battered him until his skin split and flesh burst open.

Hiss—

Thunder Hoof felt his chest being brutally ripped open, and the gloom within his body swelled madly.

Fear filled all four of his eyes, “You madman! Have you lost your mind!”

“You dare… to contend with this emperor?”

A mocking smile appeared on the lion’s face, and the golden eyes gleamed with madness.

Finally, he grabbed hold of Thunder Hoof’s heart.

“Lion Emperor, Lion Emperor!”

In his panic, Thunder Hoof felt something was terribly wrong.

The opponent seemed to be horribly hurt by his innate Divine Skill… yet the strength in his hands did not wane at all.

Logically, even if it were the Demon Emperor from the Eleventh Cave, if he were insane enough to take on such pervasive Thunder Plasma head-on, he should be at death’s door by now.

But the lion did not seem to be mortally wounded at all?!

Being a creature that lived in the Clear Thunder Pool, even the part of his heart was wrapped in thunder.

Any other demon would be hurt by just touching the Thunder Plasma.

Yet the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor showed no reaction, as its sharp fingers easily pierced through the Thunder Plasma, stabbing into that fiercely beating heart.

Upon gripping with full force.

That heart finally burst apart!

Bang!

As a muffled sound rang out, the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor gradually regained her senses: “…”

The clash between two demons could last for months, as it was normal to have chasing and fleeing, with time for recovery in between.

Unless one had an overwhelming superiority in strength.

Yet it had ended so quickly.

There was only one reason for that: neither had regard for their lives.

Her words ended quickly; indeed, so quickly.

Watching the lion slowly stand up.

The opponent was clearly severely injured, with blackened blood-stained fur, and even many of his manes were burnt.

But the moment those golden eyes looked back at her.

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor couldn’t help but feel that the other party seemed even more grand and imposing than before.

She steadied her mind and transformed into a human form as she landed: “You… owe me an explanation now, don’t you?”

Shen Yi, holding the Youwei Spear at an angle, slowly walked towards her.

Looking down from his golden eyes: “What explanation do you want?”

“I!”

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor opened her mouth, indignantly saying: “You promised…”

“What has this emperor promised?”

Shen Yi crouched down, cutting off her words.

The woman paused for a moment, then saw a trace of mockery on the other’s face.

She suddenly realized, the lion had indeed made no promises last time, and even left with an extremely arrogant demeanor.

It was she who thought it had given in, understood the rules…

Shen Yi put away the Youwei Spear and said seriously: “This emperor said he would take you and your cave, but he never said he would work for you, just wait with peace of mind.”

The woman looked into the scorching heat within those golden eyes.

A slightly hoarse voice reached her ears, so calm.

She suddenly felt a provocative thrill, her full body trembling slightly.

She also revealed a fierce smile: “Can you really do it? I’m waiting for you!”

Leaving those words behind, she took a deep look at Shen Yi and turned to leave.

Shen Yi silently watched her disappear into the sky, then stood up.

Can he do it?

That depended on whether he could find the Cultivation Technique quickly enough.

With that thought, he glanced at the corpse of Thunder Hoop, picked it up, and walked into the dark curtain of light.
