Chapter 769: Chapter 223: The Demon Blade That Cuts Lifespan, the Terrifying and Devious Li Yuan

Shi Shabai slowly turned his head, his pupils reflecting a terrifying Golden Giant, its expression indifferent yet sinister, followed by an indistinct mysterious figure.

The figure’s hands were deathly pale, and his right hand was drawing out a pitch-black blade from the void.

Boom!!

In the next instant, the Golden Giant raised its hand and smashed it towards the ground.

Before the palm landed, the roof tiles of the house exploded with a "bang bang".

The roof collapsed, revealing the startled face of the yellow-robed man sitting inside.

The Golden Giant, however, was sneering.

Shock and sneer, passed in a flash.

The palm fell relentlessly, and at the extending shoulders and arms of the golden lips, a whirlwind was gathering—a terrifying Withered Fire.

Mr. Shan hesitated not and fled directly.

His figure suddenly sank, vanishing into the ground.

Though he couldn’t fly, due to mastering some earth-related skills, he could make small escapes through the ground.

In a moment, he moved two or three miles away.

But as it was too remote here, even two or three miles away wasn’t a bustling city.

And as soon as he appeared, a "Compressed Fire Bomb" from high above suddenly descended.

Mr. Shan had no time to use "Earth Escape" again, so he slapped the ground and swiftly dashed towards the edge of the fire, while shaking his sleeves to deploy three earth-colored flags.

The flags swirled with a "wooo", quickly forming a shield that barely protected him from the flow of fire.

During this, he wanted to continue using Earth Escape, but unfortunately, every piece of ground beneath him seemed like earth yet had been covered by Withered Fire, turning into dusty charcoal debris.

The battle entered the "battle of endurance" phase.

Mr. Shan ran madly, while high above, the Golden Giant loomed high and spewed a cone of high-temperature Withered Fire.

Wherever Mr. Shan ran, the Withered Fire followed.

Simultaneously, the Golden Giant began to move its steps.

And seemingly sensing an ant swiftly moving below, the Golden Giant stepped down heavily.

Shi Shabai was instantly bathed in the Withered Fire from that step, his body shone with a series of lights, a multitude of cracking sounds echoed incessantly—it was the Spiritual Artifact on him exploding.

But the gap in strength between the two sides was too enormous; with just this step, Shi Shabai’s cards were exhausted, and he was engulfed in flames, reaching powerlessly towards the sky, only to turn into withered bones and then vanish into ashes.

Meanwhile, Mr. Shan also realized his situation was becoming increasingly dire.

He wanted to escape to a populous area, thinking that if this monster continued killing people, then... it would surely become the public enemy of the entire Imperial Capital, prompting a large army to come and help withstand it.

"Dammit!"

Mr. Shan couldn’t understand why, despite being cautious enough, this monster still found him.

In the recent month or so, Shi Shabai had only sought him out once. Moreover, Shi Shabai was a cautious person, and only came here after making sure of absolute certainty, so why... why was he discovered even in such preparedness?!

Li Yuan’s figure soared.

The Golden Giant appeared hazy, the Withered Fire blazing fiercely.

He was already flying towards the Golden Giant’s brow, quietly observing the yellow-robed man fleeing chaotically on the ground, then... he summoned the Red Sleeve Blade.

The Black Blade hummed, floating above the Withered Fire.

As it was born of Withered Fire, receiving Li Yuan’s Source Blood, even in this high heat, it remained unharmed.

Li Yuan flicked his fingers, the Black Blade shot out, spanning several miles, aiming straight at Mr. Shan.

Seeing the blade coming, Mr. Shan continued to control the flag to maintain the endurance.

The Black Blade penetrated the protective shield, its chilling aura making Mr. Shan pause.

At this moment, a sharp scream from Xiaohong resounded in Li Yuan’s mind.

"Lifespan, lifespan, lifespan!"

The Black Blade trembled violently, like a shark smelling blood.

"Master, give me lifespan, I beg you, beg you..."

Xiaohong went mad.

Li Yuan’s expression shifted, he waved the blade remotely, expending three thousand years of lifespan.

Perhaps because there had been no contact, Mr. Shan was fine for now, but... his flag suddenly started aging, losing its luster rapidly, and the shield weakened immediately.

The Golden Giant inhaled again, spraying down a more ferocious "Compressed Fire Bomb".

Crack...

Boom!!

The shield shattered.

The flags dispersed.

The Black Blade and flames fell upon Mr. Shan simultaneously.

Unexpectedly, the yellow-robed man suddenly abandoned resistance at this moment; during the earlier confrontation, he had used up almost all his Spirit Stones, and now, though there were still one or two taels left, they weren’t enough to change the situation.

He decisively discarded the remaining Spirit Stones, stood calmly in the flames, and smiled, "Senior’s skills, I concede.

It’s just that I have my Essence Blood stored in the sect. Even if Senior kills me, I will resurrect in a few years."

Li Yuan said nothing, he struck down with the Black Blade.

He didn’t know how many years of lifespan the opponent had, but the maximum lifespan the Black Blade could cut was ten thousand.

He consumed ten thousand years, and the opponent consumed ten thousand years too.

The yellow-robed man withered instantly, burned to ashes in the flames, and at the last moment, suddenly aware, he looked up in terror, eyes filled with disbelief as he gazed at Li Yuan, trembling, he shouted, "No! No!!"

But it was too late...

In the distant East Sea, atop a fog-shrouded Jade Platform, a drop of Essence Blood rapidly withered.

Simultaneously, in a secret place, hidden tightly within a Jade Box, a drop of plump, crystalline blood shriveled instantly... with a "bang", the blood bead exploded, turning into putrid black water, devoid of the slightest vitality.
