The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 696: Chapter 348 Quickly Retreat_2
 

“`

A member of the Void Refinement Fox Clan transformed into a handsome man and called out to the mountain, “Human Ascenders, resist no more. You have been surrounded thoroughly. Surrender quickly, or once you are captured, you will be tortured by all means. Among you, there are several beautiful female cultivators, surely you wouldn’t want to be defiled by these rude Monster Beasts beside me.”

With his words, several ape and tiger Monster Beasts beside him howled excitedly, unabashedly displaying their male characteristics.

Lin Yi sneered. This Fox Clan really never changes. Since he had sensed the presence of the Human Ascenders, he wasted no more time, taking the form of a Golden Serpent and diving down from the sky above.

At this moment, the Human Ascenders on the mountain showed colors of despair on their faces, “It seems we can’t escape this time.”

“I don’t want to become a prisoner under the demon tribe, nor do I want to be defiled by these Monster Beasts.”

“Who would have thought that after cultivating for a thousand years, finally achieving Divinity Transformation, and ascending to a higher realm, we would be driven to a dead end by the Demon Tribe—how sad, how laughable.”

“Instead of lamenting, you might as well think about how to kill a few more Monster Beasts. If we can’t escape, let’s take a few down with us,” said a peerlessly beautiful female cultivator indifferently.

“Yu Huan is right. We won’t have it easy, nor should we let these beasts feel comfortable.”

Suddenly, thunderous roars came from the sky, along with a wave of powerful Demon Energy that struck like the sea, drawing the attention of all the Demon Tribe and Human Ascenders.

When they saw a Golden Serpent, all Monster Beasts showed a look of astonishment. Was it Long Ao from the Big Monster City who had come, or was it another new Golden Serpent?

The Fox Demons, seeing the Golden Serpent descending from the sky, were also uncertain. They couldn’t discern the purpose of this Serpent coming here.

If it really was Long Ao from Big Monster City, who had a history with the human race, he wouldn’t come just to eliminate humans. Thus, there was only one possibility left—it was for the rescue of these humans.

The Human Ascenders, cornered and desperate, couldn’t help but widen their eyes at the sight of the Golden Serpent in the sky. During their escape, they had seen several Serpents, but never a golden one.

This Golden Serpent emitted a noble and domineering aura and likely held a high status among the Monster Beasts.

However, amidst their shock, they felt even more hopeless. The Monster Beasts already surrounding them were too much to handle, and now a Golden Serpent had appeared—they truly were waiting for death.

Yet Chen Huanyu saw the nervousness of these Beast Tribe members and couldn’t help but have a glimmer of hope surface, “Everyone, just wait and see. There might be a turn of events.”

“Impossible, they are all from the Demon Tribe. How could there be a turn of events?”

“Yeah, besides our Spiritual Pets, we’ve never heard of any Monster Beasts friendly to the human race.”

When Lin Yi descended to the area above the small mountain, he transformed back into his human form, revealing the appearance of a handsome man with features as fine as jade.

The sight of his human form made the hearts of those Fox Demons sink, as they got a bad feeling.

Three Integration Stage Fox Demons looked at each other and moved forward simultaneously, forming a triangle around Lin Yi. One of them slowly said, “Long Ao, my Fox Clan has urgent matters to deal with in this area. We hope you can leave quickly. We are grateful for your understanding.”

“Fellow Fox Clan members, I wish to have a dialogue with the Human Ascenders to understand more about the world of cultivation below. I have already greeted your clan elder, so they belong to me now. You should leave quickly,” Lin Yi said indifferently.

“`

Those Human Ascenders on the mountain, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, had expressions morph from despair to sudden joy. Judging from the Golden Serpent’s words, it seemed the creature only wished to communicate, rather than persecute them to death like the Demon Tribe had intended.

Moreover, once the Golden Serpent transformed into human form, he was jade-like and truly handsome, a stark contrast to the Yin Evil seductresses and scheming men typically assumed by the Fox Clan.

The three Integration Stage Fox Demons, after hearing Lin Yi’s speech, exchanged glances and then the lead Fox Demon, a late-stage Integration Stage, said, “Long Ao, my friend, apologies, we’ve not received the Ancestor’s command to retreat and thus cannot act on our own, How about we take these Humans first? Once we receive the Ancestor’s orders, we can then hand them over to you.”

Without hesitation, Lin Yi took out an Image Recording Stone and projected the conversation he had with the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor onto the sky.

After watching the recording, the three Integration Stage Fox Demons shook their heads and said, “Friend, let’s not discuss whether this recording is real or fake. Even if it’s genuine, our Ancestor only agreed to ensure these Human Ascenders’ safety, not to hand them directly over to you.”

“If it’s merely for communication, you can still speak with them under our supervision. Why not step back for now, and after we capture them, you can proceed with your exchange, how about that?”

Eighty years ago indeed, this Golden Serpent could withstand attacks from their Great Demons of the Integration Stage, but now faced with three of them integrating together, and with a mere eighty years, even if the Golden Serpent’s power had increased, it wouldn’t match the might of three Demons, especially with one at a late Integration Stage among them.

As these words were spoken, the three emitted an intense aura indicative of the Body Fusion Realm, causing the surrounding atmosphere to become extremely turbulent.

The Human Ascenders, hearing their dialogue, felt a surge of alarming premonitions, “This Golden Serpent might not be a match for the Fox Demons.”

“Yes, the aura emitted by these three Fox Demons is too overwhelming, nearly eclipsing that of the Golden Serpent.”

Chen Huanyu shook his head and analyzed succinctly, “I think not. That Golden Serpent isn’t one to act rashly. Knowing he’s outmatched, he shouldn’t have come alone. Given that he’s here by himself, he must have some confidence.”

Lin Yi adorned himself with some titles that increased his damage and advanced slowly towards the late-stage Integration Fox Demon. Under the threat of three Body Fusion Realm figures, the overwhelming power the titles normally provided couldn’t be fully utilized.

Without the titles, he could already exhibit the prowess of a late-stage integrated being. Moreover, the Heavenly Yang Energy within him was the bane of the Yin Evil Qi of the Fox Demons; even facing three Integration Stage Fox Demons, it was merely a minor crisis.

However, back in the Spirit Demon-Slaying City, he had to advance five steps to activate the stacking damage effect, but now, with every three steps, another layer of damage was added.

As he stepped forward calmly, strong Demon Energy emanated from him. In an even tone, he declared, “I have already stated, they belong to me. I’ve been courteous by asking you to step aside. If by the time I reach you, you still refuse to leave, don’t blame me for being impolite.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

One of the Integration Stage Fox Demons, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, “Hahaha, I’ve found you unsightly for a while now. A Void Refinement Jiao Dragon, even if descended from the Immortal Realm, capable of exhibiting Fusion strength, so what? Acting as if you’re on par with a True Dragon, today you will realize that in the Demon Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm, you hold no sway.”

“Long Ao, my friend, you still have time to retreat. These Human Ascenders are under the Fox Clan’s custody, and you have no right to snatch them away. That goes against our rules. If you wish to fight for them, don’t blame us for not being courteous,” the late-stage Integration Fox Demon said coldly to Lin Yi, who kept advancing towards him.

Lin Yi remained silent, continuing his advance, which imparted a sense of pressure on the late-stage Integration Fox Demon. Could this Golden Serpent really be confident in taking on all three of them at once?

“Big brother, this is a provocation. Are you really going to wait for him to get any closer?” The middle-stage Integration Fox Demon said angrily, with a powerful attack already forming in his hands.

“Friend, you insist on going against the entire Demon Tribe’s customs. So, don’t blame us—engage!” Seeing Lin Yi continue to move forward, the late-stage Integration Fox Demon’s face darkened as he gave the command.

Lin Yi just smiled, seemingly oblivious to their words, and carried on. By now, he had taken ten steps, his damage stacking to three layers. Combined with the doubling effect of his titles when activated, his additional damage had reached seven hundred percent, or seven times the damage.

Seven times the damage of a late-stage Fusion Realm strength was equivalent to facing seven late-stage Integration beings.
