The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 712: Chapter 356: Arrival at Demon Slaying Spirit City
 

After donning the title, Lin Yi pushed his Concealing Breath Technique to the extreme, preparing to deal with the fox demons first. Since he was using the incarnation of Hua Tuo, he had to operate in all respects using the characteristics of this incarnation.

The main characteristic of the Hua Tuo incarnation was the Path of Survivor; he naturally wanted to eliminate these enemies under the radar, without god or ghost noticing.

This clone, formed from the Golden Human Infant, was able to perform nearly at the level of Body Fusion Realm while in the Refining Void Realm.

Now, with two titles, he could inflict extra damage: one was the accessory title [Burst Out] from the main title “Enduring the Small Troubles May Prevent a Major Disaster,” and the other was his revealed title.

However, one could not use the Path of Survivor title and the revealed title at the same time, so he did not wear the revealed title but kept a title slot empty, ready to switch to the Burst Out status and enter a Berserk State at any moment.

In this valley, there were three Void Refinement Fox Demons and some Void Refinement and Divinity Transformation members of the Demon race, which was why he chose to act with the stealth of the Path of Survivor and quietly take them out.

If there had been opponents at the Body Fusion Realm, he wouldn’t have chosen this method to kill, because the Hua Tuo incarnation could only perform close to the level of Body Fusion Realm, and against Body Fusion Realm opponents, it would be somewhat inadequate.

The reason for targeting the Fox Clan first was because of their treacherous and vicious nature—they were the most dangerous. Although the Demon race was fearless in death, they lacked spiritual wisdom and were completely controlled by their brutal desire to kill.

At the top of the valley, Lin Yi did not choose to slowly and stealthily approach using the Path of Survivor title; not making use of his Teleportation Ability would have been wasteful.

He took out a bee from his Spirit Pet Bag and initiated its Instant Teleport ability in the same way.

But beforehand, he had also covered the bee with an Element-less Defensive Shield to keep the bee alive; otherwise, under the invasion of Demonic Qi, this frail bee would have died instantly, without even a chance to enter combat.

After leaving the combat state, Lin Yi activated the Minor Blessing State and took a step forward, immediately triggering his Instant Teleport ability. His body disappeared from the spot, only to appear right behind a member of the Fox Clan.

Instant Teleport was a title ability that produced no Spiritual Power Fluctuation at all; even if he teleported right next to someone in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, there would be no early detection.

While Lin Yi was above the valley, he had already used the Eye of Emptiness to locate the defensive weaknesses of the Fox Clan members. With the Element-less Power, he imitated the forces of Thunder and Lightning and the Chilly Flame, striking from behind at one of the Void Refinement Fox Clan members.

The moment he attacked, he entered a one-second Berserk State, gaining additional damage.

The Fox Clan cultivated the Dark Arts, so Thunder and Lightning, being extremely yang and strong, and the Chilly Flame, capable of igniting Yin Evil Qi, could deal even more powerful damage.

The Fox Clan member he had ambushed had just entered the late phase of Void Refinement, and since his clone could perform close to the level of Fusion, adding the extra damage from Berserk State, it was no problem to kill him outright.

The other two Void Refinement Fox Demons were attacking Master Golden Sword and his companion, while the late-phase Void Refinement Fox Clan member was fending off the Demon race’s assaults.

At that moment, the Element Power simulated within Lin Yi’s body swiftly flooded into his Flying Sword, piercing through the Fox Demon’s Defensive Shield and into its weak point.

As the Flying Sword entered, the inside Element Power kept bursting out, with the yang of the Thunder and the burning of the Chilly Flame causing constant clashes, resulting in the Fox Clan member’s body exploding.

“Big brother…” the remaining two Fox Demons roared in fury.

By then, Lin Yi had already teleported next to another Fox Clan member. He had chosen to back away immediately after the stabbing and triggered his Instant Teleport ability.

Since the Demon Tribe had not detected any sign of him, he was temporarily out of combat mode and still in the state following his exit from combat.

As he backed away, he also activated the effects of [A Step Back Opens Up a Whole New World], halving his Presence and Hatred Value, making Lin Yi virtually undetectable to the remaining two Fox Demons, even greatly reducing the hatred in their hearts.

As Lin Yi teleported next to another Fox Demon, using his Flying Sword to pierce its body, the other Fox Clan member became aware of his tracks and fell into a frenzy.

However, he stepped back again, triggering the expanse of the sky effect, and only by retreating could he trigger this effect. If he chose to advance after retreating, the effect would disappear.

Regrettably, the effect of this retreat could not be stacked like advancing could; otherwise, if he kept retreating, no matter how strong the enemy, they would never find his tracks.

“Who is it, show yourself…” Even though Lin Yi was not far behind, the Fox Demon seemed as if he didn’t notice at all.

A smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face; that Golden Human Infant, coupled with the Path of Survivor title, was a perfect match.

“It’s me,” he said calmly.

As he spoke, the Fox Demon instantly became aware of his location, but looking at the human in front of him, he felt surprisingly little hatred, “Why, even though you’ve killed two of my kin, I don’t feel like killing you.”

“Without much hatred, how can there be any desire to kill?” Lin Yi said with a faint smile, as his Flying Sword unhesitatingly stabbed into the body of the Fox Demon.
