That’s easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it spoke, its flesh trembled in a rhythmic pattern; crimson blood Sha  erupted from its skin, thicker than mist, instantly engulfing everything around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything touched by the crimson blood Sha —bodies, blood—began to hiss and corrode, dissolving into pus within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this strange phenomenon, Shen Yi did not panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected it; if it was a great demon, having transcended, how could it rely only on brute fists and kicks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each breath, his five major dantians activated at once; white mist tinged crimson clung to his skin, and upon contact with the blood Sha , it burned away like water meeting fire, vanishing rapidly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasted no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi stepped forward again, swinging his blade with all his might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssshh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade struck dead center between the yellow weasel’s neck and shoulder; the strike, infused with the breath of heaven and earth, cleaved through its flesh as easily as tearing paper, leaving a gaping wound stretching from shoulder to abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, crimson blood Sha  burst from the wound—ten times denser than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow weasel’s head hung limply, its bones clamping the blade, lunging toward Shen Yi as if trying to crush him into its own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi released his grip on the hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His five fingers clenched, and he threw a single, unadorned punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the fist’s impact, the yellow weasel’s fat rippled like waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1224,"2026-06-20T15:00:36.117Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","81f003e95e456c636cf58904d3eb08f26294f10f9a1f5daec6d5261c860ab584","immortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-chapter-20","immortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-chapter-18",840,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-cover.jpg"]
