The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 83 - Yin-Yang Life Decaying Sword Slash

Defender Duanmu was dumbfounded when he saw the man in black robes slowly transform into a demon.

The demons and humans were nemeses since the olden times. Countless wars ravaged the world of Nuar because of their feud. That’s why their ancestors came into an agreement of living in two separate continents. The demons lived in the Crimson Fiend Continent while the humans and the alliance lived in the Profound Dragon Continent.

"A demon?!" Defender Duanmu muttered in surprise while clutching his aching chest. ’What could be the reason for a demon’s emergence in our Silver Wing Empire? Is it the beginning of another continental dispute among countless races?’ He felt horrified at his own thoughts.

"Scared? It’s too late for that. Since you have already seen my true appearance, I will not allow the both of you to leave this place alive!" The demon general laughed eerily, causing his hideous face to become even more unsightly to look at.

Hestia remained unperturbed at the scene. Although she could not remember anything about her life before meeting Jiu Shen, she had a strange feeling that it wasn’t her first time seeing a demon.

Hestia felt a sense of deja vu, but it was just a faint lingering sensation that she could not understand. All she knew was that there was a deep sense of loathing and hatred hidden inside her heart as she looked at the demon general.

Hestia’s smiling expression froze and was replaced by an icy cold look. She glanced at the demon general frostily and said while pointing her sword at him. "I shall not waste my time with you."

Hestia’s true essence fluctuated vigorously as she gathered all the strength she could muster from her dantian.

The demon general’s expression turned grim when he sensed the towering true essence coming out of Hestia’s slender figure. He could not believe that this strength was being emitted by someone at the mid stage of the 8th-rank Divine realm. "This woman! Is she really just a mid stage 8th-rank Divine realm cultivator?!" He muttered in a grating and demonic voice.

Hestia’s silhouette vanished from her spot and reappeared behind the stunned demon general. She then lifted her sword and struck the back of the demon general.

The latter felt a cold sensation behind him and hurriedly distanced himself, but it was already too late to evade the attack.

"Chiyaa!"

The defenseless back of the demon general was split open creating a deep diagonal wound that stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist.

"Aarrghh!" The demon swiftly channeled the anma inside his body to heal his gaping wound. He then glanced at Hestia with a deathly stare. "You damn human! You sneak attacked me! Argghh!"

The demon general ignored the painful sensation from his back and charged madly towards Hestia. He raised his muscular arms and aimed his fist at Hestia’s slim figure.

Hestia had a cold look as she watched the demon who was lunging straight in her direction.

She gathered her true essence and created an invisible yin-yang diagram in mid-air using her sword. The diagram glowed brightly after Hestia finished the last strokes and it slowly manifested in front of her.

"Yin-Yang Life Decaying Sword Slash!"

She shouted as she slashed the diagram with her sword.

White and black rays of light intertwined against each other. The two opposing elements slowly merged as it traveled at a speed that was almost as fast as the speed of sound.

The demon general had an alarmed look when he felt the strength of Hestia’s sword technique.

"This can’t be!" The demon general felt his adrenaline rising as he forcefully gathered the anma inside his body.

"Frenzied Slaughter Body!" He shouted.

Although body enhancers could not control the power of elements, they could tap the hidden potential of their physical bodies by awakening it with their anma. Just that the amount of anma needed to maintain this form was immense.

Black metallic scales emerged from his body and his stature also grew twice larger. He was now almost five meters in height and looked like a giant armored monstrosity!

The demon general then shielded his face with his thick arms as he covered his body with huge amounts of anma.

"Baaangg!"

Hestia’s sword slash struck the demon general’s body causing an ear-splitting sound that created shockwaves.

Defender Duanmu weakly cast his true essence to shield his body from the blast but he was still thrown several dozen meters away.

"Is this the true strength of Young Miss Hestia? Just what kind of monsters are the people inside that store? Even if His Majesty was in his peak condition, he could still not survive that kind of sword technique..." Defender Duanmu who was now covered in dust muttered with a blank look.

Hestia waited for the dust to subside but she was still holding her sword warily because she could feel that the demon general’s aura was still present. "This demon isn’t an easy opponent." She muttered silently to herself.

Just then, a huge shadow dashed towards Hestia catching her unprepared.

"Diieeee!!!" The demon general shouted as he raised his bloodied right arm in a bid to smash Hestia.

Hestia lifted her sword hastily to block the pummeling fist of the angered demon.

"Baanngg!" The demon’s punch threw Hestia several hundred meters away.

"Boooom!" Hestia’s body created a huge hole in a nearby mountain.

The mountain shook causing countless rock debris to fall.

The demon general smirked but his face suddenly contorted in pain as he sprawled on the ground in all fours while coughing dark green blood.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Wha-What kind of... What kind of sword technique was that? It actually caused...caused severe damage to my internal organs. Fuck!" The demon general cursed as he slowly reverted to his two-meter demon form.

"I need to get out of here before someone else from that store comes here!" He muttered as he clutched his chest while weakly standing up. He then grabbed a jade necklace from his storage ring and put it on his neck.

His demon body morphed back into a human under the surprised gaze of Defender Duanmu.

"Demon! I will not allow you to escape here!" Defender Duanmu stood up unsteadily as he shouted in a hoarse voice.

The demon who was now in human form smiled widely in contempt and replied in a mocking voice. "Old thing, you’re lucky that an expert helped you. But there will be no next time. For now, I will let you live. Hahaha!"

His figure then vanished and Defender Duanmu could only stare helplessly at the place where the demon previously stood. "I should report this to His Majesty as soon as possible. This news involves the safety of our Silver Wing Empire. No... It involves the whole of the Profound Dragon Continent..." He muttered as he walked towards the mountain where Hestia was thrown.
