DEMON IMMORTAL Chapter 199

Published at 5th of September 2023 11:01:42 AM



Duncan looked at the spilled wine, along with the broken gourd, and scowled.

Irritation shot through him as he stirred himself a bit. He never liked spilling wine. It was his one constant habit. He considered it to be a waste. As a qualified drunkard, Duncan had strong feelings regarding it.

And this was his wine that was spilled.

He could forgive the fact that he was almost killed, but he couldn't forgive someone who wasted his wine. With irritation etched on his face, Duncan rose. The listless feeling he had until now receded and Duncan felt that he could deal with it later.

For now, he wanted to head out and smash the face of the idiots who wasted his wine. Duncan unsheathed his sword and walked out of the cave angrily. He passed by the decaying carcass of the beast he had slayed and didn't even glance at it.

The entrance of the cave was covered by a small waterfall. Duncan passed through it and looked outside. He was too angry to investigate with his spirit sense first. Looking over, Duncan saw two cultivators fighting near the waterfall.

Immediately, Duncan understood what happened. It was most likely that their fight caused the accident. But, Duncan wasn't in a forgiving mood at all. With a snarl, Duncan slashed his sword toward both of them angrily.

The two cultivators had obviously noticed Duncan the moment he stepped out of the waterfall. Their spirit sense had long been covering this area. Initially, when Duncan stepped out, they had been on guard a little. They didn't know who this fellow was.

However, the moment they perceived Duncan's cultivation, they didn't care about him much. As Violet Palace realm cultivators, they didn't pay much attention to a youngster in the Spirit Sea realm. So, they had relaxed their vigilance towards Duncan a little and decided to carry on with their fight.

Who knew this youngster would be so arrogant as to attack them both at the same time? This was a man who didn't know the heights of heaven. Normally, they wouldn't pay much attention to an attack from a Spirit Sea realm cultivator.

However, they were in the midst of a battle. Any variable may result in life and death. So, seeing Duncan's attack, both of the cultivators became furious immediately.

"Get lost!"

Both cultivators roared as they slapped a palm toward Duncan in the distance. Duncan's eyes narrowed seeing their disregard. He didn't like that one bit. The mere irritation he had grew into anger at the moment.

When those cultivators slapped a palm each toward Duncan, they thought that the matter would be over. If the young man got injured because of overestimating himself, it wasn't their fault. However, what happened next shocked both of them. Duncan's slash nullified both attacks and petered out.

The two cultivators paused in their actions and looked at Duncan. Duncan also looked at them angrily. Seeing the anger in Duncan's eyes, the two cultivators felt annoyed. Just now, they had slapped out without inputting much of their strength into it. But, that didn't mean the ignorant young man could dare to be angry at them.

"What are you looking at?" one of the cultivators got annoyed and yelled. "Get lost before I come over there and teach you a lesson."

"Hmmph, you are lucky we are too busy to deal with you," the other cultivator snorted.

Duncan eyed them both carefully. This time he used his spirit sense and was easily able to figure out that these two were in the early stages of the Violet Sea realm. The moment he figured it out, the little bit of apprehension he had vanished.

"Your fight spilled my drink. I will leave once you both apologize," Duncan stated calmly with a ridiculing look.

Seeing Duncan's look and hearing his words, both cultivators got annoyed.

"Impudent!"

"Audacious!"

They both yelled and attacked Duncan.

Duncan's lips twitched. He didn't back away from the attack. Rather he welcomed it. After being listless for several days, Duncan felt like stretching his limbs a bit. And these two bastards had come at the right time.

With a smile, Duncan retaliated with an Absolute Severance sword. Sword light exploded from Duncan's sword and traveled toward the attacks of the two cultivators.

Boom!

The three attacks collided together and created an enormous ruckus. Duncan was forced to take a step back because of the backlash. The two Violet Palace realm cultivators were relatively fine. However, the resulting backlash had ruffled them as well. They both looked at Duncan in shock.

Duncan took a deep breath and looked at the two cultivators. A strange smile appeared on his face. For days, he had been a little listless after realizing the enormity of Dao. He couldn't bring himself to do anything. Cultivation seemed pointless.

If one knows that their journey is going to be a neverending and futile attempt, it is only natural that the interest in the journey would diminish. Duncan wasn't masochistic to actually do things that looked impossible. He had always been a goal-oriented person.I think you should take a look at

Hence, after realizing that searching for the true meaning of dao and cultivating hard was a neverending journey, he couldn't drum up the motivation to actually indulge in it. He became a little directionless and began to drift.

But, currently, looking at the two cultivators who were in front of him, Duncan felt something deep in him stir once more. Logically, he knew that he had gotten into a predicament after realizing the truth about cultivating immortality. He knew he needed to get out of that despairing mindset. But, knowing is one thing, and doing it is another thing.

The stirring within him at this moment was like a third party trying to wake up Duncan. He could feel it within his bones. He wanted to grasp onto it and climb out of the quagmire he had ended himself in.

"Again!"

Duncan muttered softly and attacked again.

The two cultivators were indeed shocked that Duncan could take on both of them at the same time. But, they weren't actually worried. The attack they delivered was only at 50% of their power.

They both looked at each other and came to a tacit agreement with a single look. They decided to take care of this ignorant young man who was crazy enough to attack both of them at the same time and then get back to their fight. With a sneer, they both attacked back. This time they increased the power they put in their attacks.

Boom!

The backlash from the collision was larger than the first one. This time, the two attacks obliterated Duncan's attack completely. However, their power was also spent. By the time the remnants reached Duncan, only a strong gust of wind remained.

The wind threw Duncan back unceremoniously. Duncan felt his back connect hard with the wall to the side of the waterfall. The impact jarred him and made his insides churn. Blood leaked from his lips.

Duncan got up and spat a glob of blood in his mouth without much care. There was a small fire burning deep within Duncan's gaze. He could feel the stirring in his heart more clearly. A crazed smile appeared on his face.

"Again!"

Duncan uttered loudly and once again attacked.

Irritation flashed across the eyes of the two cultivators. This time they decided to not show any mercy and attacked with 80% of their power. The sword light was thoroughly annihilated and the rest of their attacks fell on Duncan sending him flying away.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Duncan rolled on the ground and started coughing blood. However, along with his coughing, a burst of strange laughter began to echo around the region as well. The laughter wasn't loud. It was more like a chuckle. But, the thing that was strange was that it was emanating from Duncan.

The two cultivators looked that Duncan and felt that he was crazy. They were willing to admit that he had some potential. But, he wasn't on their level yet. It was clearly apparent with the difference in power that was exhibited. Right now, Duncan was coughing up blood.

And yet, he was chuckling.

Duncan, on the other hand, didn't care about their strange gaze. His eyes were shining brightly now. He could feel his heart beating strongly. He finally figured out what the stirring in his heart was. It was battle lust. A desire to battle. The stronger the opponent, the more his battle lust would be ignited.

If it was just one of them, Duncan was sure that they wouldn't be able to ignite his battle lust. But, with two Violet Palace realm cultivators attacking him, Duncan once again felt the feeling he had when he was attacking the Wang Clan compound.

Duncan stopped chuckling as he stood up and closed his eyes. He could feel the confusion and the despair he had felt receding like a tide. Right now, he was in the middle of the battle. Only one thing mattered now. Fighting to his heart's content.

He put away the confusion and despair in his heart regarding the Dao. He would figure it out later. Right now, the only thing that mattered was to beat these two people up. They dared to spill his wine. They needed to spill blood to pay back for it.

Duncan wiped away the blood leaking down from his mouth and opened his eyes. There was a fierce fighting intent in his eyes. His back straightened. His grip on his sword tightened.

"Again!"

Duncan growled and attacked once more.
