Chapter 145: Use This to Tempt Shen Moux_1
Trash! Trash!!
The White Deer roared in its heart, that damned woman had said it would take the time of one stick of incense, and it truly did not differ by a single second.
Worthless little Demon King, how dare you arrogantly claim the title with such meager ability.
Initially somewhat dissatisfied that it hadn't been put to good use by the Howling Moon Demon King, it had planned to connect with this lesser Demon King, hoping that once he truly became a king, it would secure a position as an elder statesman at the beginning of his reign.
At this moment, however, the White Deer couldn't wait to strangle that stupid ox.
"..."
As it watched the youth release the bowstring with wide eyes, it suddenly stamped its hoof and activated its innate Divine Skill.
In an instant, a dense white mist swept outwards, enveloping everything within a hundred miles.
The Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow emitted another intense white glow, tearing through the mist, and then disappeared without a trace.
Shen Yi, shrouded in white mist, remained calm.
His eyes, shining with a sharp light, swept around, seeing directly through the mist.
However, the sights before him left Shen Yi feeling somewhat bewildered.
The previously dark Creek Terrace Mountain had transformed into a scene like the Jade Pond Fairyland, with White Jade paving the ground, golden peach trees, and even Immortal Cranes leisurely strolling amongst the clouds.
Melodious fairy music echoed in his ears, and the fragrance of Jade Dew hit him.
These things seemed to have a seductive effect, causing a person's alertness to slowly relax, and even beginning to forget about the preceding events.
A bath made from pure white pebbles was covered in mist, seemingly with Fairies frolicking within.
"An illusion?"
Shen Yi pondered for a moment, put away the Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow, and drew out the straight Ceremonial Blade.
Since it was an Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarch, having some lifesaving means was normal.
In his eyes, a red mist rose, the fierce and murderous emotions dispelling the haziness in his heart. The robust, fishy demonic power from the Fiendish External Elixir surged into his limbs and bones.
He observed his surroundings calmly.
If it was an illusion, then there must be another move forthcoming.
And what Shen Yi needed to do was to seize that fleeting opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.
As if verifying his thoughts, the steaming bath suddenly splashed up, accompanied by a tinkling laugh, like bells.
The next moment, three figures covered only in thin veils emerged from the water.
However, Shen Yi's expression turned bizarre in an instant.
He saw a White Deer flapping a pink veil, while in its other hand it held a Demon Core, casting coquettish glances at him as if being coy.
Behind it, there was a towering Ox Demon, with a veil stretched tight across its well-defined muscular body, and a gaunt old dog, all looking over with bashful eyes, half-hiding their Demon Cores near their hearts.
"This isn't..."
A chill appeared in Shen Yi's eyes, his expression grew increasingly serene, and he slowly clenched the handle of his blade.

He had anticipated that his opponent might use seduction tactics.
But wasn't this a bit too insulting?
Meanwhile, the White Deer hidden in the mist was seething with rage.
Its Divine Skill was capable of evoking the deepest desires in one's heart; since it was a young man, why wouldn't he harbor lust? Even if there were truly virtuous gentlemen, they wouldn't be able to help but remember a certain unforgettable figure deep in their hearts. That's why it had chosen this scene of the Fairies in the Jade Pond.
Fine, fine, fine... even if we took ten thousand steps back and the opponent was as unyielding as a rock, impassive to the illusion, the White Deer could still accept that.
But what it utterly failed to comprehend was how it could see itself in the bath?!
"You're going too far!"
Its white mist could only cover a hundred miles, and with the opponent holding the divine bow, it was difficult to escape directly.
Originally, it had thought to wait for the youth to become infatuated and then launch a sneak attack; whether to kill or seriously injure him, either would provide enough time for the White Deer to escape before Jiang Qiulan arrived.
At that moment, his blood surged to his head, and he lunged forward to kill!
What he feared was the Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow, not that he was really afraid of the opponent.
Even though it was not known for fighting, the White Deer was still an Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarch!
Its hard and sharp antlers swelled in the wind, like two steep mountains, crashing down towards the youth!
There wasn't the expected shaking of the earth and mountains.
The enormous antlers failed to reach the mountainside; instead, a slender figure stood below, his black robe fluttering, extending his left hand to hold them up, slowly neutralizing the immense forces clashing in his palm.
The antlers inched towards the ground at a pace akin to a tortoise's crawl.
Clearly, their strength was evenly matched, and even if there was a difference, it wasn't significant.
Could a mortal physique truly withstand the body of a demon with sheer force?
The White Deer clenched its teeth, uncertainty and anger welling up within. In response, it increased the force with which it slammed its antlers down by fifty percent!
Shen Yi had never expected to use his Immortal Demon fifth evolution body to overpower a true Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarch. The Ceremonial Blade in his right hand suddenly lit up with a green glow.
He struck upwards from below!
The invisible ripples, about a dozen yards wide, seemed to move slowly but spread out rapidly like an arrow released from a bowstring.
There was a quiet appearance of a fine line atop the beautifully ornate antlers, followed by a muffled crack, with about one-third of the antler misaligned and sliding towards the ground.
The White Deer quickly raised its head, and before it could grieve over its antler, it shrank it back to its original size and saw Shen Yi with the blade charging towards it.
The blade was so varied and complex to the extreme.
It carried the ferocious demonic power, the cold green light, and even... the White Deer could smell a hint of deadly poison.
It stamped its front hooves heavily, only to see the youth unyielding, taking the heavy stomp with his shoulder before abruptly slashing at its back with the dagger.
"Trading blow for blow?"
The power of the Embrace Pill Realm Demon was formidable enough to drive the warriors of Qingzhou to despair. The youth's shoulder collapsed instantly, but with the aid of the green light, he successfully embedded the long blade into the White Deer's flesh.
As expected.
The instant the cold blade entered its body, the White Deer sensed a violent poison surging into its muscles and bones, accompanied by a sizzling sound and an intense burning sensation of corrosion, causing its complexion to change drastically.
Looking at Shen Yi again, the strength of the hoof that could obliterate most Solidifying Pill warriors had only caused his bones to shatter...
The next moment, a streak of red light crossed the White Deer's vision.
Under the nurturing glow of the Hong Mang, Shen Yi casually shook his hand, and his shoulder visibly healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
And then he charged again.
Two figures interwove in the air thrice, and the White Deer's body quickly sustained three terrifying gashes. The poison had completely consumed its tender flesh, turning it into greenish fluid seeping towards its bones and innards.
It had just raised its head to look at the youth when it found that his injuries had already been healed by the red light.
"You motherfucker, all your methods are so devious, don't tell me you've never practiced martial arts at all?"
The White Deer finally became anxious. It was confident it could escape from Jiang Qiulan because that woman never wasted time on useless things – no Light Body Step Technique, no breath-concealing methods, none of which she had ever dabbled in.
Since becoming a Solidifying Pill, she had only the Profound Ice Seven Kills Sword Intent to nourish her inner core.
One could say she was born solely to break through to become a Primordial Wuji Grandmaster.
But the young man before it, clearly weaker, had a plethora of methods at his disposal, wielded a mighty Precious Tool, and moved faster than it, a Demon Monarch known for speed.
He was incredibly difficult to deal with!
"..."
As if reminded by the White Deer, Shen Yi lightly nodded his chin, erecting his left hand in front of his chest and skilfully forming a sword gesture.
The Fiendish External Elixir suddenly trembled, releasing a torrent of demonic power from within.
A substantial Crimson Dao Sword materialized in front of him, with the slowly revolving Yin Yang Fish exuding a fierce and murderous aura.
