Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 116 Qi Shun'ai

Chen Hengyi followed the instructions and stepped into the depths of the jungle to the left.

As soon as you leave the bright light at the edge of the beach, a damp and chilly air immediately envelops you, mixed with the smell of rotting leaves and the salty smell of the sea.

The dense canopy almost blocked out the sky, with only scattered patches of light piercing the gloom and barely illuminating the tangled roots and thick layer of humus beneath our feet.

Above, the thunder summoned by the old celestial master continued to roar, making the sky flicker between light and shadow. A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire island, but in the depths of this dense forest, the sound seemed somewhat muffled and distant.

He held his breath and focused all his senses.

Holding the completed Five Thunder Token tightly, his left palm slightly gathered power, a tiny, almost imperceptible charge jumping between his fingers—the preparation posture for "Palm Thunder".

The newly acquired Five Emperors' Coin Sword was slung diagonally across his back, heavy and exuding an aura of righteous indignation.

The jungle was far from silent. In the distance, the faint sounds of exploding spells, short shouts, and the shrieks of some inhuman creature could be heard—clearly, fierce battles had broken out in other directions.

"rustle----"

A very faint noise came from the bushes to the left!

Chen Hengyi stopped in his tracks instantly.

No wind... then let the wind come!

He immediately manipulated the airflow, blowing it outwards, and at the same time used the wind to perceive his surroundings.

The rustling sound rang out again, clearer and with a smooth, slippery texture.

"hiss----"

With a sickening hiss, three thick, brightly colored, one-horned snakes suddenly sprang out from the pile of dead leaves!

Their snake heads were raised high, their cold vertical pupils locked onto Chen Hengyi, and they spewed foul-smelling purplish-black poisonous mist from their mouths, attacking with lightning speed from three directions: upper, middle, and lower!

But Chen Hengyi remained completely unfazed: "I've been waiting for you!"

Suddenly a strong wind arose, and Chen Hengyi did not make the slightest movement, but three steel needles appeared from his personal Ruyi.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Three soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously!

Fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Flames burned inside the snake's body.

Before the three venomous snakes could even utter a scream, their bodies stiffened abruptly, the evil light in their eyes dimmed rapidly, as if all life had been drained from them. They slumped softly onto the decaying leaves, their bodies even showing faint scorch marks.

One fatal blow!

At that moment, Chen Hengyi suddenly lunged to the left, and the Demon-Subduing Golden Spear pierced a thick tree trunk covered with strangling vines with lightning speed.

"Hey, where do you think you're going!"

The golden spear pierced through the tree trunk in an instant, and a middle-aged man dressed in a dark purple hunting robe with a sinister face appeared before the tree trunk.

His heart was pierced by a golden spear, and dark red blood gushed out continuously, making a sizzling sound.

His face showed resentment, and with his last breath, he asked, "You, how did you find out about me...?"

Chen Hengyi remained silent, but suddenly shook his golden spear, and the immense power of a dragon and tiger was transmitted from his arms to the spearhead.

With a tearing sound, the enemy in front of him, along with the tree trunk behind him, was ripped in two.

"You're too naive. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Just stay a blissful idiot."

At that moment, the old Celestial Master's voice rang in my ears again.

"Good, to the left front."

In front of Chen Hengyi lay a mangled skeleton, its body still crackling with electrical charges.

"Three now!"

Chen Hengyi was overjoyed. With the guidance of the old master, he felt as if he had radar, enabling him to accurately locate the weaker enemy.

As for challenging the strong... what a joke.

That's not something Chen Hengyi should worry about.

But just then, the old celestial master's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Run to the southwest coast immediately! That old fox is coming this way!"

Before the words were even finished, a chilling, pungent wind, like a solid icicle, instantly pierced through the dense forest!

The surrounding light twisted and faded eerily, and the outlines of the towering ancient trees stretched and writhed, transforming into countless menacing fox tail shadows.

Chen Hengyi felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end—this was a murderous aura far surpassing that of any previous enemy, almost solidified into a tangible form!

That's a cunning old fox who's been around for ages!

"run!"

"Sizzle—!"

The ground where he had been standing suddenly cracked open with five deep, charred claw marks. The humus mixed with blue-green foxfire burned fiercely, and the air was filled with the stench of sulfur and rotting corpses.

"You little Chinese bug—you've ruined my grand plan, and you think you can escape?"

"You're the most damned person here!"

Qi Shun'ai's eerie figure hovered in mid-air like a ghost. The hem of his hunting robe was torn into sharp strips, and his exposed skin was covered with crimson fox fur. Most terrifying of all was his face.

The left half still depicts a handsome young man, but the right half has completely transformed into a beast. His scarlet vertical pupils are fixed on Chen Hengyi, and his mouth is stretched to his ears, revealing his gleaming white fangs.

"Offer your soul to the Inari god to atone for your sins!"

Chen Hengyi's figure left afterimages among the trees. But the oppressive feeling behind him followed him like a shadow!

Qi Shun'ai never walks in a straight line. Sometimes he blends into the shadow of the tree trunk, and sometimes he condenses his fox head from the pile of fallen leaves. Every swing of his sharp claws brings up a corrosive foxfire whirlwind, scorching trees and cracking rocks wherever he goes.

Before long, Qi Shun'ai's sharp claws were about to touch Chen Hengyi's back, but suddenly at that moment...

A golden light suddenly appeared!

"Go to hell, you old beast! Bullying the younger generation, do you think I'm dead?"

That's the Maoshan Master Zhao, who loves to spew foul language!

At this moment, he held a glowing talisman between his sword fingers, hovering in mid-air to force Qi Shun'ai back.

"It's you... that guy with the bad breath..."

"Hmph!" Master Zhao flicked his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of talismans burst forth from his sleeves.

"You old beast, I'll let you know that I am a member of the Shangqing Sect!"

Rumble!

In an instant, it was as if a bomber had landed, and the hundred-meter-long forest in front of us was turned into scorched earth.

Qi Shun'ai roared and howled, "Damn Maoshan!!"

"How dare you address me by the name of Maoshan?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Hengyi suddenly felt the copper coin sword behind him shoot out and turn into a golden light, flying towards Qi Shunai.

"Borrow it for a bit..." Master Zhao's voice rang out the next moment.

"cut!"

The sword light swept across the land, its aura of suppressing demons and exorcising evil spirits slaying the monsters.

In less than two seconds, the copper coin sword returned to Chen Hengyi's back, while Zhao Zhenren strolled over, holding a fox paw in his hand.

"What a pity, that old man got away."

"I must say, your sword is really useful."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hengyi immediately took the copper coin sword from his back without saying a word.

"Please, Master Zhao, take up your sword and vanquish the demon."

"No, no, I can't afford to pay for it if I break it."

Master Zhao shook his head with a smile, but Chen Hengyi was somewhat puzzled. It was just a Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword.

Although the number of coins from the Five Great Emperors is smaller than that from the Five Lesser Emperors, you can definitely get your hands on them by spending some money.

Master Zhao took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on the fox's paw. Then he casually threw it away, and it instantly burned to ashes in mid-air.

"It seems you don't know the origin of this thing. Do you think our stuff is of such low quality?"
