Immortality by Merit and Sin Coins

Chapter 202: Chapter 116: Moon-Devouring Demon Mountain, Taking Shape

”Th-this is the Moon-Devouring Demon General?!”

Golden Bear stared intently at the figure in Profound Armor, knowing he possessed the power to kill a Vice General.

After all, Xu Zhonglin had been dead for some time now.

But he had never in his wildest dreams imagined it would be this kind of slaughter. It was like butchering livestock!

In terms of power, he too was at the Mid-stage Core Formation Realm.

Without the suppression of the Golden Light, if he went all out, he could also unleash a technique with power comparable to that Thunder Technique.

But after a single strike, it would completely drain his Demon Power, leaving him helpless and waiting to be slaughtered.

Who in their right mind would dare do that?

Not only had this Moon-Devouring Demon General done it, but he had simultaneously cast two Immortal Techniques that consumed terrifying amounts of energy.

And even then, he still had enough energy left over to cleanly engage a Mid-stage Core Formation Vice General in close combat and kill him!

’The Immortal Families just call me a Demon.’

’But he... he seems like a *real* Demon!’

Golden Bear swallowed hard, his voice beginning to tremble.

The young man, with just a single sword, exuded a sense of pressure that far surpassed that of the Demon-slaying Bureau and all the Yu Family disciples combined.

...

The beautiful woman’s pupils contracted as she stared blankly ahead.

Golden Bear was a brute and didn’t understand the intricacies of Divine Soul Techniques.

It seemed that the Red Moon and the Black Mist were just Illusion Techniques, their lethality seemingly inferior to the purple-black Thunder Technique from before.

But to simultaneously affect the Divine Souls of seven Core Formation Realm Cultivators, the energy consumption was likely several times greater than that of the Thunder Technique.

’A Magical Treasure...’

Her gaze fell upon the savage-looking Profound Sword in Lin Shu’s hand, and her breath caught in her throat.

No wonder that old Vice General had died so strangely and silently.

On top of the Immortal Techniques, he actually had enough spare Spiritual Power to control a Magical Treasure!

The Little Demons couldn’t understand such intricacies. They only saw the long halberd arrive, followed by the land shaking and the sky changing color.

It wasn’t until the familiar Red Moon once again hung high in the sky that they knew their Demon General had returned!

Lin Shu exhaled, his face slightly pale, but he showed no intention of stopping.

The system prompt hadn’t even appeared, yet the Sin Coins gained from slaying the numerous Captains and Hong Wei had already transformed into black light and surged into the body of the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord.

ROAR! The expression on the giant wolf, whose power was comparable to a Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, twisted ferociously.

Its depleted Magical Power was instantly replenished, transforming into an even more turbulent black flame that swept out in all directions, turning the area into what seemed like a Purgatory.

The Filthy Moon Wolf Lord was a conscious, living creature, after all, not merely a vessel.

Intense pain wracked its body, causing it to let out a faint, mournful howl.

”Arooo...”

”Just hold on a little longer.”

Lin Shu felt his Magical Power become plentiful once more as he slowly tightened his grip on his sword hilt.

The stakes were too high; he couldn’t let a single person make it back to Yongzhou Pass alive.

With a mere thought, the rain of blood filling the sky grew even more savage.

”Get away! Get away from me!”

The Yu Family Disciples had no Profound Armor to protect them, nor did they possess Divine Soul Immortal Talismans.

As the blood rain seeped into their skin, they felt their Divine Souls and bodies dissolving simultaneously, and couldn’t help but let out blood-curdling screams.

They frantically brandished their abundant Spiritual Power to disperse the blood rain while darting about as streaks of light, like headless flies.

But no matter which way they fled, they were met with a suffocatingly dense, pitch-black abyss from which it seemed there was no escape.

’I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.’

The Vice Generals activated their Immortal Talismans. A treasured light burst forth from their Profound Armor, blocking the downpour of blood.

The men struggled to remain calm, shaking off the shock of Hong Wei’s death.

”Where?”

”I... I can’t remember.”

This group of Vice Generals had never been to Shihu City. They had only caught a passing glimpse of the young man outside the City Lord’s Mansion that day.

In a situation like this, how could they possibly remember?

”Yu Family Disciples, close your eyes and focus! Use everything you have!”

”Don’t panic! He’s used up all his tricks! We’ve only lost two of our comrades, and there are still ten of us left. You’re telling me we can’t defeat him alone?”

To stabilize morale, the Vice General deliberately omitted any mention of the other two Demon Generals on Qingming Mountain.

As long as the Yu Family Disciples snapped out of it, they could tie down the Moon-Devouring Demon General and break this Divine Soul Illusion Technique, giving the Vice Generals a chance to escape.

With their Profound Armor for Body Protection, their chances of survival were certainly higher than those of the disciples.

...

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly. The Ink Flood Dragon Sword in his hand had already absorbed its fill of Magical Power.

The next moment, the longsword shot into the heavens.

The black flames resembled storm clouds, and a massive silhouette suddenly appeared within them, complete with four sharp claws and tightly interlocking scales.

It swam through the sea of flames at an incredible speed, its movements impossible to track. A hazy red glow in the darkness revealed the creature’s eyes.

The flood dragon whipped its tail, violently smashing the body of a Core Formation True Master to pieces.

Immediately after, a thick forelimb shot out like an eagle’s talon and brutally tore another person in half.

SPLAT! SPLAT!

Soon, a rain of severed limbs and chunks of flesh fell from the sky. One mangled shoulder even landed squarely on a Vice General’s face.

”Now there are only four left.”

Hearing the voice suddenly whisper near them, the four Vice Generals looked horrified, their faces turning deathly pale.

Even though they had heard the name of the Moon-Devouring Demon General many times before.

But in the moment they experienced his terror firsthand, a deep fear still took root in their hearts.

In the time it took to speak a single sentence... that group of Core Formation Disciples was just... gone?!

They instinctively mobilized all their Spiritual Power. Following the Demon General’s example, they disregarded the energy cost and unleashed the signature Divine Soul Formulas of the Half-Life Qi Family with all their might.

FZZZT!

A treasured light suddenly bloomed from the Profound Armor on Lin Shu’s body. Beneath the Armor, nearly a hundred Divine Soul Immortal Talismans shattered in succession.

This was Xu Zhonglin’s entire collection.

Counters worked both ways.

Now that both sides had lost their means of affecting the Divine Soul, it was time to compete in other areas.

Lin Shu rolled his wrists. He wasn’t sure what else this group was capable of.
