47: Strong reinforcements finally arrived

Yi Sanyi stared at that somewhat blurred face and those eyes flashing with golden light, momentarily dazed.

He's even stronger than I imagined. Could it really work... "Heh... cough, cough, Little Brother Zhou, could you be any later?"

His tone was full of complaints, but he was now completely relaxed.

Zhou Yan looked at his weakened state, casually cast a Healing Technique on him, and then spoke to Han Wenqing nearby.

"Wenqing, take them far away. Things are about to get quite loud."

As if remembering something, Zhou Yan looked at the corpse lying on the ground.

"Take Second Nine Jia's corpse with you as well."

Han Wenqing also looked at Second Nine Jia's corpse.

This was the culprit who had caused his family's downfall, the bastard he had once threatened to decapitate to use his head as a chamber pot.

"Pah!"

Han Wenqing spat on Second Nine Jia's face, but in the end, he still took him along.

Han Wenqing hung the swaddling cloth containing Little Three-Flower on his chest, held Han Yue in his left arm, and dragged Second Nine Jia and Yi Sanyi with his right hand as he quickly retreated from the battlefield.

Having finished these arrangements, Zhou Yan officially came face-to-face with the biggest boss here, the Giant Abyss Immortal Chen Yan.

The Giant Abyss Immortal was in a wretched state now; first, she had been blindsided by Yi Sanyi, and even now, poisonous blood occasionally seeped from the corners of her mouth.

The pain of the recent Human-Demon Separation had caused her excruciating agony. All of this far exceeded her expectations, leaving her momentarily uncertain.

At this moment, Giant Abyss's originally elegant and noble appearance had turned into disheveled hair and slightly reddened eyes, giving her the air of a shattered beauty.

"You're actually fine? Where are those useless fools!"

Zhou Yan looked at Giant Abyss, who was afraid to strike and was trying to test him first, and sneered.

"Them? They probably aren't safe and sound."

With that, Zhou Yan no longer suppressed his cultivation, and the Aura of the Late Stage of Qi Refining swept across the field.

[Zhou Yan]

[Rank: Qi Refining Level 7 (762/1000)]

[HP: 1500/1500]

[MP: 460/460]

Fortunately, Yi Sanyi had stalled Giant Abyss, giving Zhou Yan the chance to go on a killing spree. He was also grateful for the experience gift pack sent by Han Wenqing.

"Even if you have trump cards, I might have some as well. Let's both take a step back."

"Leave now, and no one will get hurt."

"And what if I don't retreat?"

"Then you can go to hell!"

Pitch-black tentacles suddenly lashed out, and Zhou Yan immediately activated 18x Speed.

Boom! With a massive explosion, the cliff cracked, and countless rocks slid down into the sea.

Meanwhile, Giant Abyss's massive body flew out of the sea, revealing her full form.

A mountain-sized octopus body loomed in the air, its pitch-black skin covered in a slimy, eerie glow, with countless tentacles hanging down like ghostly shadows.

Her body blotted out the sun, casting a boundless dark curtain. The giant mouth at the bottom was as deep as a Giant Abyss, surrounded by fangs, as if it could swallow heaven and earth.

The person before her was not like those experimental subjects whose cultivation and resources she restricted; even if they could accumulate trump cards, it was hard for them to do anything to her.

This fellow had been a threat to her back at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining, and now he had advanced to the Late Stage of Qi Refining so quickly. The troublesome nature of his trump cards was likely beyond imagination.

Facing Giant Abyss with her Aura fully unleashed, Zhou Yan also became cautious. He gripped his left hand, and a golden bow emerged.

The golden bow shone with golden radiance, its body shaped like a dragon, its string like blazing white lightning. It possessed an awe-inspiring Divine Power and a pressuring Aura.

Zhou Yan moved, starting a kite strategy, fighting as he retreated, hoping to pull the battlefield into the forest. Giant Abyss saw through his plan, but the battle had already begun, and she could not afford to back down now.

Zhou Yan flitted between the treetops, firing a Silver Bullet that accurately grazed the pursuing tentacles.

The stinging provocation made Giant Abyss let out a furious roar. Her massive body was completely enraged as she crushed the trees in relentless pursuit.

He continuously used the golden bow to harass her, his figure like lightning as he shot toward the deepest part of the forest.

Zhou Yan was currently enhanced by Time Acceleration, so at least in terms of speed, the two were evenly matched. However, Giant Abyss was massive; at the same speed, the smaller Zhou Yan was clearly much more agile.

"Ant, do you only know how to hide?"

"Gag."

This time, she didn't spit black blood because of poison, but because Zhou Yan had shot a Silver Bullet into her mouth when she opened it.

"Bastard! What did you feed me!"

Thrown objects are also projectiles, so they can be converted into Silver Bullets.

Zhou Yan had just converted some animal droppings he found under a tree into a Silver Bullet and fired it into Giant Abyss's mouth.

Since she insisted on keeping her big mouth open, it would have been a pity not to send a Silver Bullet in.

At this moment, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth twisted because he couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about what he was about to say.

"Question: If something looks like poop, smells like poop, and tastes like poop, what is it?"

Since things had reached this point, how could Giant Abyss not know what that meant?

"Bastard!!!"

"Gag—, gag—, I will definitely, gag—, tear you into ten thousand pieces!!!"

Giant Abyss began to vomit frantically, and her massive body beneath her began to attack indiscriminately. Every sweep and strike knocked down a large area of giant trees and smashed out deep trenches.

Through the testing along the way, Zhou Yan also gained an understanding of Giant Abyss's strength.

Despite also undergoing Half-Demon modification, Giant Abyss's stats didn't have the massive boost that Han Wenya's and Second Nine Jia's had.

However, her resistance and recovery power were extremely strong.

Except for that first shot of True Damage which dealt 15 points of damage, Zhou Yan's other attacks only dealt 2 or 3 points.

Some attacks even showed as 0, which should be the suppression of a lower life level by a higher Realm.

"But as long as there's a Health Bar and I can chip away at it, jie jie jie."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was no longer running but turning to face her, Giant Abyss knew the opponent was ready to use a trump card. She suppressed the anger in her heart and concentrated on preparing to respond.

"Domain Expansion."

"Voom—"

A humming sound spread throughout the forest, drowning out all other noises.

The entire forest fell into silence, so quiet that not even the rustle of the breeze through the leaves could be heard.

In the distance, Han Wenqing was preparing to give Second Nine Jia's corpse a few more kicks to vent his anger. Yi Sanyi watched from the side without stopping him; after all, being a villain came with a price.

"Voom—" The sound waves had already reached this place, causing Yi Sanyi and Han Wenqing, who already had sensitive senses as Cultivators, to cover their ears, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"This... this is!"

Han Wenqing looked toward where the sound came from, where a massive hemisphere had appeared.

Its color was as black as ink, yet it was not entirely opaque.

On the deep ink-colored base, countless tiny silver light spots were dotted, slowly flickering and flowing as if the night sky had fallen into the mortal world, completely out of place with the current daylight.

"This is truly the method of an Immortal."

Seeing this scene, Yi Sanyi and Han Wenqing understood for the first time the power that Zhou Yan possessed.
