Chapter 2236 - 2236 2226 Retreat into One's Shell

2236: Chapter 2226: Retreat into One’s Shell 2236: Chapter 2226: Retreat into One’s Shell The sucking force didn’t instill even the slightest fear in Long Yan, whose hand threw down a fierce golden Buddha Palm in the direction it came from, instantly piercing through layers of Monster Power with a hint of Buddhist principles that made the swaying trees around him settle down.

The people within the bamboo forest had never seen such profound Buddhism; although the Buddha’s Light was dim, it still left them greatly shocked.

They didn’t expect the seemingly ordinary Long Yan to harbor such pure and profound Buddha’s truths.

Green light erupted from his hand, and two Big Handprints collided in the air, overturning a patch of earth in the vast Bamboo Forest.

“Humph, possessing such strength, yet acting so fierce here within the bamboo forest, these so-called successive Demon Kings are nothing special.”

Long Yan’s repeated provocations brought the person within the bamboo forest to a point where he could no longer sit still, his body wrapped in a green aura and transformed into a monster wind that burst out of the bamboo.

“Heh…”

Even those with high Cultivation Base looked no different to common folks in Long Yan’s eyes, having such ability yet not willing to protect their own World, Long Yan felt the sacrifices made by Xuanzang were somewhat unworthy.

Xuanzang would rather give up his wish to become Buddha, and maintain this World, even in the end sacrificing his own Sarira to help the people within resist the Fire Demon Beast.

What has the so-called real Strong One in the bamboo forest done?

Hiding within these bamboos, seeking safety in a corner, such a Demon is unworthy of being called a Strong One.

Long Yan’s disdainful Gaze was somewhat scorching in Qingxuan’s eyes, they of course knew about the resurrection of the Fire Demon Beast, but such a powerful being was not something they could confront.

If the Fire Demon Beast were resurrected, they might as well directly abandon the Inner World and head to the Real World.

But Long Yan’s provocation ignited true rage in Qingxuan.

Just because they were Experts, did they have to stand up?

The two’s Fists collided fiercely, and the immense True Qi and Monster Power swept through the Sky, ultimately leading to an evenly matched battle.

“Kid, leave swiftly, and I will pretend nothing happened today.”

Qingxuan threatened, seeing Long Yan’s ability, he naturally wanted to avoid pointless fighting, but at the same time a terrifying feeling rose in his heart.

The Strong Ones of this bamboo forest had at most cultivated for one hundred years, even Qingxuan, who was the weakest among them, was three hundred years old.

Long Yan was so young, seemingly just in his early twenties, yet he possessed such strength and was able to fight on par with him.

In fact, the one who should feel surprised was Long Yan.

Long Yan had many fortuitous encounters, yet was only about as strong as Qingxuan.

He could feel several pairs of eyes watching the fight from the dark, each Breath made one’s heart tremble with alarm.

“Humph, after I defeat you, you’ll have to fight even if you don’t want to.”

Long Yan stood in the Space with his hands behind his back, his True Qi flowing continuously like waves.

He did not intend to hold back his strength in the upcoming battle.

“Good, good, good.”

Three “good” words came from Qingxuan’s mouth in rapid succession.

The Long Yan before him was the culprit who killed his apprentice Qing Luo, and now there was a good reason to avenge Qing Luo.

Yes, the Qingxuan before him was precisely Qing Luo’s Master.

When Qing Luo was using the Blood Demon Technique, Qingxuan wanted to take revenge for his disciple, but was stopped by many older-generation Strong Ones, saying that they couldn’t intervene in the affairs of the Demon Race.

At that time, it made Qingxuan very frustrated, but now Long Yan seemed to be seeking his own death, Qingxuan was actually very pleased inside.

From the storage space, he took out a snake staff, its green demonic aura making Qingxuan appear incredibly eerie.

As the staff was swung, a blue python shot out from it, opening its huge, gaping maw toward Long Yan.

“So it’s the good apprentice you’ve taught.”

Long Yan’s words were like a thorn piercing into Qingxuan’s heart.

The blue python increased its speed by a notch as Long Yan’s expression remained unchanged, the astral dragon behind him surged out as if it had its own consciousness.

“Nine Star War Dragon Decision!”

The astral dragon and the blue python entwined in battle.

Qingxuan’s python was not comparable to Qing Luo, but Long Yan had also become much stronger than before.

The two massive creatures collided constantly; their scales sparkled with starlight as the astral dragon punched the blue python, sending it flying.

Both men were also busy fighting.

Long Yan summoned the Lu Xian Sword, its piercing murderous intent targeting Qingxuan’s body, splitting the air with countless sword lights, and a huge Sword Qi Lotus flew out from Long Yan’s sword.

Qingxuan let out a piercing scream, using the snake staff as if it were a cudgel, and brought it crashing down toward Long Yan.

The shadow of the green stick shot down like a ‘stone breaking the sky’.

With Long Yan’s hand motion, a crimson lotus slowly bloomed in the air; nine lotus petals flew towards the figure of Qingxuan in the sky.

“Shatter for me!”

A fervor showed on Qingxuan’s face.

He didn’t care for the delicate petals in Long Yan’s lotus, but as the stick shadow hit the petals, a violent Sword Intent erupted from within, covering hundreds of miles around with a fierce Sword Qi storm.

Even Qingxuan himself was not spared, caught up in the storm.

The sword qi storm swept away everything around, cutting everything within into countless small pieces.

“Brother Long, why did you kill him?”

Bai Mu whispered, the terrifying might of this move was such that he feared even the ancient Demon Kings could not survive in this sword qi storm.

They had come seeking allies, but to his eyes, Long Yan seemed more like he was challenging them.

Killing one right off the bat, how were they to proceed with talks?

Bai Mu couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on, while Jingzhe and the Heavenly Demon City’s City Master were already stunned in place.

Although they knew of Long Yan’s strength, they never imagined that Long Yan’s ability would be so formidable.

“Don’t worry, he’s not dead yet.”

The blue python had not dissipated, so naturally, Long Yan knew that Qingxuan inside was safe.

If each generation’s Demon King was so frail, then they wouldn’t need their help.

A figure enveloped in a green demonic aura emerged from the sword qi, and instantly a powerful force burst into the air.

Now Qingxuan appeared like a bloodied man, his originally clean garments shredded by the sword qi, with cuts all over his body.

He looked less like an expert and more like a beggar.

“All seniors present, having reached this point, if you do not intervene, Brother Long cannot guarantee what may happen next.”

Long Yan spoke softly into the void.

From the very beginning, he knew these so-called strong ones were in this void.

If they didn’t show themselves now, perhaps Long Yan might indeed accidentally kill Qingxuan.
