Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 195 Great Battle, Lifeline Unseen

The poisonous centipede clearly didn't understand what he was going to do, tilting its head in bewilderment.

Shen Chongming glanced at the four people who had resumed their fight in the distance and urged, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and give us some poison!"

The poisonous centipede belatedly realized what was happening and immediately spat out a mouthful of pitch-black venom at the arrow on the ground!

Upon seeing this, Shen Chongming revealed a strange smile. He directly grabbed an arrow stained with the venom of the poisonous centipede, nocked it on the Silent Guest's Great Bow, and quietly aimed it at the three powerful members of the Fire Sect who were fighting Shen Wen'an in the distance.

At this moment, the poisonous centipede behind it finally reacted, immediately wriggling its body excitedly and squeaking strangely.

It's as if it's saying: Shoot, shoot now!

Shen Chongming was once again aiming at the old woman who had been shot by an arrow.

Because the old woman was already injured, she was always a step behind the other two when they attacked Shen Wen'an, making her the easiest target for a sneak attack.

The Silent Guest's great bow was drawn to its full extent, and the lightning-attribute spiritual power within Shen Chongming's body slowly gathered on the arrow, which was already tainted with the venom of the poisonous centipede.

This time, the target of the sneak attack is a powerful expert in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so it cannot be done as casually as when attacking an enemy of the same realm.

He wanted to add something to the other side to make it work in one fell swoop.

A large amount of lightning-attribute spiritual power was poured into the arrow, gradually turning it into a deep blue color.

Seeing that the arrow was about to be unable to withstand the infusion of a large amount of spiritual power, Shen Chongming slowly locked onto the old woman in the air who was waving her wooden staff and casting spells.

He needs to wait for an opportunity.

……

Above their heads, the three members of the Suihuo Sect continuously unleashed powerful spells at Shen Wen'an, the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations already causing wild beasts and demons within a radius of hundreds of miles to flee in panic.

The sword energy shield around Shen Wen'an's body circulated, and the three-inch-long Dragon Soul Magic Sword had been summoned.

He stood proudly in the void, dressed in a green robe. The Tai Xuan sword energy behind him was intertwined and swirling around the Dragon Soul Sword, rushing towards the sky, showing signs of transforming into a real longsword!

As a sword cultivator at the mid-stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm, his current strength is already comparable to that of the late-stage Fetal Breathing Realm. If he were to fight with all his might, he could even put up a brief battle against a Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm cultivator.

The three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Flintfire Sect before him were very powerful, and their combined strength made it difficult for him to resolve the battle in a short time.

Don't give him a chance to breathe!

"The three of us cultivate the righteous path and are at the late stage of embryonic breathing; our spiritual power should far surpass his!"

"Now we're going all out, let's wear this kid down to death!"

Seeing that the two sides had reached a stalemate, a hint of madness rose in the long-browed old man's heart. He immediately used his spiritual power to transmit a message to his two companions beside him.

The beardless man and the old woman both had sharp glints in their eyes at this moment.

The thought of the three of them joining forces to kill a genius sword cultivator was incredibly satisfying.

On the other side, Shen Wen'an remained calm, using his sword energy shield to block the three's attacks while also roughly guessing their plans.

They knew that this battle could not be dragged on for too long.

Otherwise, the moment the sword energy within his body is exhausted will be the moment he dies.

Thinking of this, his sword heart suddenly trembled!
A swordsman should possess the power to shatter all laws with a single sword strike!

Slay demons, eliminate evil, create heaven and earth!

Even in death, one must not lose the spirit of a swordsman!

How could I let these three demons and monsters hold me back?

As if influenced by his state of mind, the fourteen Tai Xuan sword energies swirling upwards behind him suddenly unleashed a sharp sword light!

In an instant, the speed of the fourteen Tai Xuan sword energies suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into a giant sword a hundred feet long, standing in the void behind it!
The sword comes out!

A concentrated sword intent soared into the sky!

The force that burst forth stirred up the clouds in the surrounding void!
The moment the sword was completed, two sword beams, seemingly tangible, burst forth from Shen Wen'an's eyes, and his will stirred slightly!
The hundred-foot-long giant sword slashed down with immense force towards the three people in front of it!

"not good!"

"This seems to be sword intent!"

"Impossible! This child hasn't even reached the Sword Immortal realm, how could he comprehend such an attack imbued with profound meaning!?"

"We're locked in!"

The three people in the distance were horrified when they saw the giant sword slashing down!
"I can only take it head-on!"

The long-browed old man gave a low shout, and with a flash of light in his hand, he took out a pair of exquisite copper rings and threw them into the air!
The beardless man and the old woman beside him seemed to know what he had taken out. They immediately removed their spiritual energy shields and used hand seals to mobilize all the spiritual energy in their bodies to pour into the pair of copper rings!
With the infusion of the three people's spiritual power, the pair of copper rings suddenly grew larger in the air and kept colliding!

A crisp sound rang out, and a series of sound waves appeared out of thin air, all heading towards the giant sword that Shen Wen'an had unleashed.

When the giant sword encountered these layers of sound waves, its downward slashing force seemed to have fallen into a quagmire in the void, its speed suddenly reduced, and it could no longer strike!
"Such a familiar attack method..."

Upon seeing this, Shen Wen'an suddenly frowned.

This bizarre attack method felt very familiar to him.

"Could it be that thing?"

As he gazed at the copper ring that was constantly striking and generating sound waves in the air, Shen Wen'an instantly thought of the Hundred Beasts Mountain disciple who rode a blue ox that he had encountered at Dragon Pan Mountain.

He then used a fragment of bronze to create sound waves that severed his connection with the Dragon Soul Sword.

Later, in the Black Pine Forest Spirit Crystal Mine, when killing the Nascent Soul Realm boar demon, the same situation occurred again.

The copper ring that the old man from the Flint Sect offered up this time actually has this function.
The giant sword formed from the Tai Xuan sword energy has been held back, and the two sides are locked in a stalemate.

Sensing that the sword energy within his body was gradually weakening, Shen Wen'an narrowed his eyes and immediately diverted a sliver of his attention to take out a dark blue-green gourd from his storage bag.

This gourd is called the Azure Origin Sword Nurturing Gourd, which was obtained by killing Lord He of Hundred Beasts Mountain.

The Sword Nourishing Gourd is a treasure used by sword cultivators to nurture their magical swords. Lord He was not a sword cultivator, but back then he managed to block his natal magical sword with the help of this Azure Origin Sword Nourishing Gourd.

Now that the Azure Origin Sword Nurturing Gourd has fallen into his hands, it has been completely refined by him.

Inside the gourd was a dark gray magic sword, with only half of its blade remaining.

Shen Wen'an took out the Qingyuan Sword Nourishing Gourd and immediately patted it lightly.

Suddenly, a dark light flew out of the gourd and headed straight for the long-browed old man among the three!

The strange sonic waves that could affect the giant sword formed from the Tai Xuan sword energy in the void seemed to have little effect on the dark light!
Wu Mang sped along like a small boat cutting through giant waves, rushing towards the head of the long-browed old man!

Upon seeing this, the long-browed elder immediately had to divert some of his attention to activate his spiritual energy shield!

Boom!
The dark light pierced fiercely into his spiritual energy shield, causing it to shake violently!
The copper rings in the air were clearly dominated by the long-browed old man. He had to divert his attention to resist the dark light, and the power of the pair of copper rings was greatly reduced in an instant!
"Brother, be careful!"

The Tai Xuan Giant Sword was slowly breaking through the sound wave barrier emitted by the copper ring. Now that the power of the copper ring had been greatly reduced, it directly broke through the layers of sound waves in a devastating manner and slashed towards the three of them!

As the giant sword came down, the bearded man's eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly shouted a warning!
The long-browed old man reacted immediately and waved his hand to unleash a burst of fire, knocking away the half of the magic sword from the Azure Origin Sword Nurturing Gourd. He also tried to forcefully activate the copper ring to block the giant sword formed by the Tai Xuan Sword Qi.

But it was clearly too late.

boom!
The giant sword formed from the Tai Xuan sword energy knocked away the pair of copper rings and slashed down fiercely!

In their haste, the three of them erected their own spiritual energy shields, but their figures were swept away by the Tai Xuan Giant Sword!
The spiritual energy shield on his body suddenly thinned, and his spiritual energy and blood were greatly shaken, leaving him in a very sorry state.

puff!
puff!
Of the three, the old woman was already injured, and this time she was injured again, so she could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The long-browed old man who controlled the copper ring seemed to be more seriously injured than her. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his breathing became noticeably disordered.

"Is Senior Brother alright?"

The old woman, without bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, steadied herself and went to check on the long-browed old man's injuries.

But at that moment, an arrow radiating the aura of thunder suddenly appeared beside him!
Caught off guard by the arrow, the old woman instinctively tried to dodge it.

But when the arrow was still several feet away, it suddenly burst out with a bolt of lightning!
The arrow formed from the electric sparks suddenly accelerated, forming a chain of arrows with the original arrow!
boom!
An energy arrow composed purely of lightning-attribute spiritual power struck the old woman's spiritual power shield and exploded instantly!

The old woman's spiritual energy shield had already been severely damaged, and with the surging spiritual energy within her body not yet being properly regulated, it could not fully supply the spiritual energy shield. As a result, the dim spiritual energy shield around her had very little protective ability.

After being blasted by the lightning arrow, it showed signs of disappearing after a few flashes.

The arrows that followed pierced through the fragile spiritual energy shield and embedded themselves in the old woman's arm!

For a cultivator in the late stage of embryonic breathing, such an injury would not be considered anything serious.

The old woman instinctively pulled out the arrow and tried to use her spiritual power to seal the wound, but suddenly she felt a very domineering poison surging wildly through her blood vessels and meridians!

The old woman's expression changed drastically in an instant!
Cultivators are not afraid of worldly poisons, but Shen Chongming's arrow carried the venom of a demonic centipede.

When the old woman tried to use her spiritual power to block it, she found that the poison was extremely potent and could even corrode her spiritual power!

In just a few breaths, the poison had already made her lose all feeling in her left arm!

The old woman panicked instantly, feeling the poison spreading to other parts of her body. She gritted her teeth, focused her spiritual power on her right palm, and swung her hand to cut off her already unconscious left arm!
"So cruel!"

Below, Shen Chongming was somewhat taken aback when he saw this scene.

These cultivators, who have been able to cultivate to such a level, are all incredibly resilient in character.

Even if an ordinary person knew that cutting off their arm could save their life, they would probably hesitate for a long time and be unable to bring themselves to do it.

The old woman, however, was very decisive.

But the arm, severed and falling to the ground, was corroded by a terrifying toxin into a pool of black blood before it even completely hit the ground.

The poisonous centipede behind him squeaked and kept banging its head and body with one of its long legs.

Shen Chongming turned to look at it, puzzled for a moment, then said incredulously, "You mean you want me to shoot her head and body?"

The poisonous centipede nodded frantically, squeaking as it went.

It seems to be saying that if the arm is poisoned, it can be cut off, but what if the head and body are poisoned? Let's see what she does then.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chongming was immediately amused by the guy.

"I really don't understand what's wrong with you centipedes."

"Other demonic beasts, even if they successfully cultivate Qi and transform into demonic beasts, are mostly in a daze."

"But you, apart from having human bodies, are all abnormally shrewd..."

The poisonous centipede tilted its head, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps doing something else.

A moment later, it lowered its head, picked up an arrow, and brought it close to Shen Chongming, allowing him to continue his sneak attack on the three.

"No rush, let's change positions first and wait until they lower their guard..."

Shen Chongming glanced at the distant sky, then immediately picked up all the arrows in front of him, concealed himself, and rushed off in another direction.

……

In mid-air, the old woman's right shoulder was pierced, and she lost her left arm, her strength was almost completely diminished.

The old man with long eyebrows also suffered a severe blow in the previous attack, and his strength was diminished.

Only the beardless man remained in his prime.

Shen Wen'an has made another move.

Originally, it would have taken the three of them working together to hold him off, but now two of them are weakened, and it will be difficult for the beardless man to withstand his attacks alone.

With the blessing of the Tai Xuan Dividing Light Sword, the golden Dragon Soul Magic Sword split into two, then into four, and finally into eight!
Eight golden flying swords, plus the dark light from the Azure Origin Sword Nourishing Gourd, made a total of nine flying swords that completely entangled the three of them!

Shen Wen'an brought his sword and fingers together, and with a casual flick of his finger, the flying swords hovering around the three of them instantly accelerated!
The black ray that had been clinging to the old man with long eyebrows suddenly changed direction after one attack and headed straight for the old woman who had lost her left arm!

The old woman was already struggling when facing the three flying swords, and now she was suddenly attacked by the dark light, so she couldn't react at all!

puff!
The dark light flashed and disappeared from the back of his head, and a moment later it emerged from between his eyebrows!

The old woman's body stiffened, and her life force and spiritual energy vanished instantly!
His body plummeted downwards rapidly!

"Haha... The cultivator containing a celestial embryo is mine!"

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter echoed from the distant jungle, followed by a violent surge of demonic energy that swept across the area, instantly engulfing the old woman's corpse!
This sudden commotion immediately startled both sides engaged in aerial combat, and they looked in the direction from which the wild laughter came!

Within the dense forest, several furtive figures concealed their presence, hiding in the canopy of some ancient trees, their eyes greedily fixed on them.

The creature that burst into wild laughter and snatched the old woman's corpse was a giant toad!

At that moment, the toad had already swallowed the old woman's corpse and was smacking its lips in ecstasy.

"Seven..."

Shen Wen'an glanced at the distant jungle, his expression instantly turning serious.

There were seven demonic beasts at the Nascent Soul stage there. Judging from their auras alone, the lowest level of cultivation among the seven demonic beasts was the late Nascent Soul stage.

Among them, the snake demon with a blue face and vertical pupils and the bull-headed beast with two horns on its head had significantly stronger auras!
"Fellow Daoist Shen."

Upon seeing this, the long-browed old man immediately said, "We can settle our scores later. How about we join forces to deal with these beasts for now?"

The beardless man beside him changed his expression slightly upon hearing this.

"Senior brother..."

The old man with long eyebrows stopped him with a look.

Without needing to look into his eyes, the man seemed to understand something and remained silent.

join forces?

Shen Wen'an glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Okay..."

Upon seeing this, the long-browed old man's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "In that case, fellow Daoist, would you please put away this flying sword first?"

With the old woman dead, the eight dragon soul swords and the dark light had converged beside the two of them, relentlessly attacking.

The old man with long eyebrows was already injured, and now, facing the attack of four flying swords, he was in grave danger.

"Easy to say."

Shen Wen'an said something, and then his sword finger twitched slightly.

Those flying swords that were separated from the Tai Xuan Dividing Light Sword instantly merged into one.

call--

Upon seeing this, the long-browed old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly pleased!
"This kid has a lot of strength, but not much brains."

"Still young, doesn't understand the ways of the world, later..."

Bang!
The long-browed old man was fantasizing about finding an opportunity to trick Shen Wen'an during the battle with the monsters below, so that the monsters would kill or severely injure him.

In this way, the two of them would be absolutely confident that they could kill Shen Chongming and complete this mission.

But at that moment, the Dragon Soul Sword that was flying back in front of him suddenly changed direction and smashed his spiritual energy shield!
puff!
The instant his spiritual energy shield disappeared, a lightning sword beam suddenly shot from a tricky angle, piercing through his back and exiting from his chest!
All of this happened too fast; the long-browed old man had no time to react before he was struck.

He slowly looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, feeling the domineering toxins surging through his body, and despair settled in his heart.

"This time it's my turn!"

Below, the bull-headed demon beast with two horns opened its mouth in a deep voice and immediately spat out a stream of demonic energy, which swept away the long-browed old man who was not yet completely dead!
"Ok?"

Seeing this scene in the distant jungle, Shen Chongming's face suddenly showed a strange expression.

"Little centipede, can your venom take down that guy?"

Upon hearing this, the poisonous centipede behind him tilted its head and looked at the bull-headed monster, letting out a strange cry of some uncertainty.

Now, the bull-headed monster had just swept away the long-browed old man's body with its demonic wind, and it couldn't wait to enlarge its head and open its mouth to enjoy the delicious meal.

The old man with long eyebrows was powerless to resist at this point, and seeing this, a deep sense of resentment arose in his heart!
As a cultivator at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I have actually been defeated by a mere Qi Refining realm beast!

Not only that, feeling the domineering toxins that had spread throughout his body, and looking at the ever-approaching gaping maw of the abyss, the long-browed old man vaguely felt that not only was he dying a pathetic death, but he might also be helping his enemy even after he died!
Thinking of this, he immediately roared in anger!
But the roar suddenly stopped!

The bull-headed monster had completely swallowed its body.

"Tsk tsk... a late-stage embryonic embryo is like this..."

"Ok?"

"what!?"

Just as the bull-headed demon was about to enjoy the feeling of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's immortal embryo melting within its body, it suddenly felt an extremely domineering toxin explode in its abdomen!

In an instant, a large amount of toxins surged towards its limbs and bones!

The toxins were frantically corroding its internal organs and flesh. The bull-headed monster had now revealed its true form, transforming into a giant blue bull that rampaged through the mountains and forests!
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, you are skilled in using poison, please save Third Brother!"

One of the seven demons had furry fox ears and was dressed in revealing clothes. Upon seeing the blue ox like this, the woman quickly went to the toad and the blue-faced snake demon and said.

The giant toad stared at the blue ox and muttered, "It's no use."

"We are good at using poison, but not good at antidotes."

"If my fourth brother and I were to consume such toxins, not only would we be fine, but it would also be a great tonic."

"It's a pity that Third Brother was too anxious, afraid that he wouldn't be able to get it..."

The green-faced snake demon didn't speak, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on the green ox that was writhing in pain. Suddenly, it flashed away!

While still in mid-air, he revealed his true form, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long azure python!
The giant python suddenly opened its huge mouth and swallowed the blue ox whole!
With a flash of light, the giant blue python transformed back into human form and landed back in its original spot.

The green-faced snake demon spat out its snake-like tongue with satisfaction, saying, "Brother, Third Brother... all I can do is alleviate some of your pain..."

The remaining few demonic beasts, seeing this scene, all showed a hint of fear in their eyes and dared not say anything more.

Only a hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the giant toad!
"Damn it, I was a step too late!"

"That was a late-stage Nascent Soul immortal embryo, and that old ox's cultivation level, all of which benefited that fourth brother..."

"Once it has digested this power, I need to be careful and avoid being alone with it..."

The giant toad, lost in thought, fixed its gaze on Shen Wen'an and the beardless man in the air.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time, brothers."

"Let's work together. These two prey can be obtained by whoever gets them first, based on their own abilities."

As soon as it finished speaking, the remaining demonic beasts took to the air and surrounded Shen Wen'an and the beardless man.

"Young man, do not resist. I will swallow you for now and release you when we get back."

"How about that, then you can save your life?" Shen Wen'an was holding his sword, preparing for a great battle, when a voice rang out directly in his mind.

His gaze slowly shifted to the scantily clad fox spirit woman.

It was when she saw the other person striking seductive poses in front of her, every gesture and movement exuding allure.

The fox demon was diligently using her charm spells, completely unaware of how laughable these inferior charms were to a sword cultivator with a clear and discerning sword mind.

Shen Wen'an took a step forward, and his body suddenly transformed into a sword beam, disappearing in an instant!

Upon seeing this, the fox demon realized that her charm technique had probably not worked at all!
Just as she was about to defend herself, Shen Wen'an brushed past her and appeared behind her, a drop of blood slowly dripping from the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand.

The fox demon froze on the spot, her alluring face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

As she turned her head slightly, as if to turn back, a line of blood suddenly appeared on her neck, and her beautiful head instantly fell off her shoulder.

"What a fine swordsman!"

On the left, the green-faced snake demon saw him kill the fox demon with a single sword strike, and instead of anger or fear, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

"Having absorbed all your cultivation, I might just become a master swordsman among demon cultivators."

Shen Wen'an looked at him, his expression calm.

He knew that among this group of demon cultivators, the green-faced snake demon was the strongest.

As long as he is killed, even if the remaining five demons cannot be dealt with, they can be held off for a while, giving the tribespeople in the mountains enough time to evacuate.

far away.

Shen Chongming looked at the tense situation in the air with a solemn expression, knowing that his third uncle, Shen Wen'an, was likely in danger.

"Little centipede, go back immediately and ask your leader to come and help."

Before he finished speaking, he flashed away and ran in another direction from Hidden Dragon Mountain!
……

At Blackwater Pavilion, Shen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back on the floating bridge, his face solemn as he examined the pool of water in front of him.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Li peeked out of the window of the Blackwater Pavilion and asked cautiously.

She had seen Shen Yuan standing alone on the bridge for more than an hour.

It seems they've encountered some kind of problem.

Shen Yuan snapped out of his daze, glanced at her, and then returned to Blackwater Pavilion to sit down.

"Grandpa, have some tea."

Shen Li obediently brought the teacup to her.

Shen Yuan took the teacup, absentmindedly scraped it a few times, and then placed it back on the desk.

"The gate of life is getting increasingly blurry..."

He muttered something to himself in a solemn voice, then focused his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness, looking at the life symbol on the white jade tortoise shell.

Ever since Shen Wen'an went to Yinlong Mountain to rescue Shen Chongming, he had felt a faint unease in his heart.

This uneasiness is growing stronger and stronger.

This forced him to stop cultivating and try to deduce the cause.

After exhausting all the spiritual energy accumulated in the white jade tortoise shell and sacrificing five years of his lifespan, he finally obtained a definitive divination result.

That was about Shen Wen'an.

The hexagram indicates a near-death experience, with the path to survival uncertain and the possibility of certain death at any moment.

Now, he dares not be distracted at all, always ready to forcibly change Shen Wen'an's fate with the destiny talisman on the white jade tortoise shell.

"If Grandpa encounters any problems, he can go and discuss them with the old man who is fishing."

"That old man knows a lot of things."

Seeing Shen Yuan's worried expression, Shen Li suddenly spoke up.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly, patted her little head, and smiled, "Grandpa's alright..."

Shen Li blinked and asked again, "Is Grandpa worried about Third Uncle and Eldest Brother?"

Shen Yuan nodded again and sighed heavily.

“The burden of the family now rests entirely on your third uncle’s shoulders. If something happens to him, our family’s future will be bleak.”

Shen Li lowered her head as if she understood, and after thinking for a while, she said with a firm look in her eyes, "Li'er will cultivate and become stronger as soon as possible, so that she can contribute to the family and make things easier for Uncle San."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan patted her head with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you have this intention."

"But the most important thing in spiritual practice is to avoid being impatient for quick results. It requires taking one step at a time and cannot be done carelessly."

"You have great talent. As long as you cultivate steadily, you can become a pillar of the Shen family."

Shen Li nodded slightly and said, "Then Li'er is going to cultivate. Grandpa, don't worry too much. Eldest brother and Third Uncle will definitely be alright!"

The little girl's eyes curved slightly, and after forcing a smile, she returned to her futon and began to cultivate.

……

In the mountains.

After Shen Wen'an forcefully killed the fox demon, he weakened the strength of the demon beasts.

Of the five remaining demonic beasts, two are besieging the bearded man from the Flintfire Cult, while the other three are targeting him.

The bearded man from the Flintfire Cult was clearly at his limit.

He was beaten by two demonic beasts of the same level, leaving him disheveled, coughing up blood, and with numerous cracks appearing on his body.

He staggered and leaned against the stump of a broken ancient tree, blood gushing from his mouth, his gaze fixed on Shen Wen'an, who was submerged in mid-air by magic.

"Ha...cough cough!"

After coughing violently a few times, the man with no need for a word chuckled strangely and muttered, "You've become too attached to appearances. I've unintentionally helped you out again."

"Since you have no chance of survival today, I can no longer help you..."

After saying this, a look of madness appeared in his eyes, and then he forcibly reversed the spiritual power in his meridians!

"Oh no, this is a technique to self-destruct an immortal embryo!"

Not far away, the two demonic beasts that were besieging the man sensed the violent surge of spiritual energy within him and immediately changed their expressions and pounced on him!

Bang!
Before the two demonic beasts could even reach him, the body of the man without a beard was blasted apart by the violent spiritual energy, blood and flesh splattering everywhere!
"Hey! Yay!"

"What a waste! What a waste!"

"This is a celestial embryo in the late stage of the embryonic breathing realm! It will take one or two hundred years to cultivate!"

"If you don't want to live, then let me eat you. Why waste your cultivation like this..."

The giant toad, seeing that the body of the man without a beard had been blasted into a pulp, and that the immortal fetus had completely dissipated, pounded its chest and stamped its feet in anger, lamenting endlessly.

"Alright, there's only one left."

Before the men could get their share, the giant toad turned its gaze to the fierce battlefield in the air. It leaped forward and charged ahead, ready to get a piece of the pie.

Another monster with a wolf-like head was not to be outdone, and it also shot into the sky, creating a gust of demonic wind.

In an instant, five late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beasts launched a frenzied attack on Shen Wen'an.

When facing only three opponents, the Green-Faced Serpent Demon, Shen Wen'an was able to barely hold his own.

With the addition of the giant toad and another late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast, Shen Wen'an suddenly felt the pressure increase dramatically!

The sword energy shield on his body was shaken to the point of collapse by the spells cast by the several demonic beasts, and the sword energy inside his body was also shaken and surged.

We can't keep pushing ourselves like this...

Sensing the dwindling power of his sword energy, Shen Wen'an knew that if he delayed any longer, he would surely die here today.

They ended up being devoured by these monsters.

He swung the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand at the void in front of him, and a hundred-foot-long tide appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards the five demons.

"It's this trick again!"

A hint of annoyance flashed in the snake demon's cold, vertical pupils. It immediately revealed its true form and swung its tail at the surging tide!

Shen Wen'an took this opportunity to widen the distance between them.

"Don't let him escape!"

Seeing this, the giant toad let out a deep shout and led the other three demonic beasts to rush over. The four demonic beasts were very fast and surrounded him in the blink of an eye!

Seeing this, Shen Wen'an's expression turned somewhat solemn. He understood that if he wanted to escape unscathed today, he would have to fight his way out with his sword.

His gaze swept over the four demonic beasts, and he secretly chose the large toad on the left, intending to use this beast as a breakthrough point.

Shen Wen'an slowly gripped the long sword in his hand, just as he was preparing for a desperate fight, a colorful streak suddenly shot out from a distance!

"Wen'an, I've come to your aid!"

A clear, melodious female voice rang out, and Luo Yao, dressed in palace attire, gracefully arrived from afar!

The colorful ribbon flew up and suddenly circled around, enveloping Shen Wen'an, the giant toad, and the other demonic beast. The surrounding mist billowed, instantly forming a closed space!

Mist shrouds a thousand peaks!

The surrounding space was sealed off by the mist-locked peaks formed by the mid-grade magic artifact, Cloud River Refinement, and Luo Yao's figure appeared beside Shen Wen'an.

With a flash of light in his hand, he directly took out several spirit crystals and two bottles of pills.

"I'll hold off these two beasts for now, so you can recover as quickly as possible."

As Luo Yao spoke, she already made a hand seal, and the surrounding mist instantly formed spears that flew towards the giant toad and the wolf-like beast in this space!

"Eh?"

"Another delicate-skinned woman?"

Upon seeing this, the giant toad showed little fear in its eyes; instead, it appeared quite excited.

"Old man, this is perfect! There's enough for the two of us brothers to divide!"

It turned out that the monster was a wolf that had cultivated its Qi into a demon.

"Fifth Brother likes female cultivators with delicate skin, so I certainly wouldn't dare to compete with you for them."

"I'll leave this female cultivator to Fifth Brother, and I'll go find that sword cultivator brat."

Seeing the fierce attack of Luo Yao's mist spear, the wolf demon immediately dodged with a gust of demonic wind and charged straight at Shen Wen'an, who was consuming pills and refining spirit crystals.

This scene instantly enraged the giant toad, who burst into a tirade of curses!
"You cunning old bastard, you sure know how to pick on the easy targets!"

"That kid's almost completely exhausted. Why don't you take this opportunity to join forces with me and take down this little wench first?!"

The giant toad roared as it single-handedly withstood Luo Yao's attacks.

However, the old wolf ignored everything and rushed to a spot not far from Shen Wen'an.

Shen Wen'an stood in the void, holding a sword in his right hand and a spirit crystal in his left, chewing on a pill as he continuously restored his strength.

A hint of doubt flashed in the wolf demon's eyes, as if he was considering how much strength the swordsman in front of him still had, and whether he could take him down in one fell swoop.

If he doesn't make a move, Shen Wen'an naturally won't rush to do so either.

The current situation is that every moment he delays allows him to recover more strength.

Once he has recovered enough, with the Mist-Locked Peaks around, he and Luo Yao should be able to kill these two demonic beasts together!

but……

Hearing the muffled sounds coming from all around and seeing the churning mist, Shen Wen'an knew he couldn't delay any longer.

Beyond the mist-shrouded peaks, there are three more demonic beasts. At this moment, they are undoubtedly attacking the mist-shrouded peaks formed by Yunhe Lian with fervor.

If this drags on for too long, Luo Yao won't be able to hold on any longer.

Forcibly circulating his spiritual power, Shen Wen'an absorbed the spiritual power from the spiritual crystal in his hand into his body like a whale swallowing its prey. He then poured some pills into his mouth and slowly raised his sword, pointing it at the wolf demon.

The wolf is suspicious, cunning, and treacherous.

When the wolf demon saw Shen Wen'an pointing his sword at him, he felt a tightness in his neck and back, but then he realized that the swordsman was just putting on a brave face!
"No, we can't wait any longer!"

"The longer we wait, the more strength this guy will recover."

"If I don't take him down quickly, once this space is broken, the other three will come in..."

"Who knows who will get their hands on this bloodline of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!"

“A sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage must have a great deal of insight into the sword path within their immortal embryo.”

"If I devour him, I might just become a sword cultivator among demon cultivators..."

After some thought, the wolf demon decided that even if it meant getting injured, it would be worth it to take down Shen Wen'an.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't blame this old man..."

The wolf-like monster laughed and spat out a thick cloud of black smoke at Shen Wen'an!

Amidst the billowing black smoke, one could faintly hear the howling of the wind and see flickering flames—a truly peculiar supernatural power.

The black smoke obscures vision, while the flames and strong winds within it work together to erode and burn the enemy's body.

Shen Wen'an certainly did not underestimate this wolf demon.

Whether they are demons or humans, those who can cultivate to the late stage of embryonic breathing are certainly not easy to get along with.

This wolf-like demon was cunning by nature and extremely cautious.

Therefore, the moment he made his move, Shen Wen'an immediately summoned his sword energy shield.

At this moment, he saw that he was surrounded by black smoke and could not see anything else.

The sword energy shield in front of him was constantly being eroded by the gale and flames, rapidly depleting the sword energy power within his body.

"What a cunning beast..."

Shen Wen'an thought to himself, and instantly realized that the black smoke was just a trick of the wolf demon, not a killing move.

This supernatural power not only continuously depletes his sword energy but also paralyzes his consciousness.

This led him to mistakenly believe that this was the main method of the wolf demon.

Having seen through the other party's scheme, Shen Wen'an also came up with a plan and immediately took out the Qingyuan Sword Nurturing Gourd from his waist.

A dark light flashed, and it instantly disappeared into the black smoke.

After spewing black smoke for a while, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the wolf demon. It seemed that it had seen through the black smoke that the sword energy shield in front of Shen Wen'an had weakened significantly. The corners of its mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange smile of smug satisfaction.

"The time has come..."

He muttered to himself, and with a flash of light in his hand, he directly took out two inch-long teeth.

The two teeth looked like canines of some kind of wolf-like demon beast. Although they did not emit any special aura, the fact that the wolf demon used them as a killing move at this time clearly indicated that they were treasures that could not be underestimated.

After removing the two teeth, the old wolf spat out a mouthful of dense demonic energy at them.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two teeth instantly burrowed into the black smoke!
Amidst the black smoke, guessing that the wolf demon might have other deadly moves, Shen Wen'an remained on guard.

As the sword energy shield in front of him was constantly being impacted by the hurricane and flames, two inch-long teeth suddenly shot out from the black smoke, instantly piercing through Shen Wen'an's sword energy shield and heading straight for his chest and face!

Clang!
Bang!
In a flash, Shen Wen'an used his Dragon-Slaying Sword to knock away the teeth that were aimed at his face!

The other one was directly blocked by the Azure Origin Sword Nurturing Gourd!
"Found you, you old man..."

As Shen Wen'an muttered to himself, a dark light shot out from the black smoke and plunged directly into the wolf demon's head!

His head was pierced, his consciousness was shattered, and the black smoke controlled by the wolf demon slowly dissipated.

Once he confirmed that the wolf demon was completely dead, Shen Wen'an removed the sword energy shield from his body and looked around, where he saw the thing that had attacked him earlier.

"This item actually has the effect of breaking through the Yuan energy barrier, and can instantly pierce through my sword energy shield. It can be called a treasure for sneak attacks..."

After glancing at the two beast teeth in his hand, Shen Wen'an pondered for a moment, then put them directly into his storage bag and headed towards Luo Yao, who was fighting a giant toad on the other side.

"Senior Luo, how much longer can Yunhe Lian hold out?"

Upon arriving beside Luo Yao, Shen Wen'an immediately asked the question.

He now needs to confirm how much time the two of them have left to kill the giant toad.

Luo Yao's face was somewhat pale. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "The other demon beast is dead?"

"I am fully focused on controlling the Cloud River Training, and I can hold on for about sixty breaths."

"If we hold out for too long, and this mist-shrouded mountain range is forcibly broken, I fear I will be severely injured and have no fighting power left."

Shen Wen'an nodded slightly and said, "Sixty breaths should be enough."

"Senior, could you help me restrain this beast?"

He was extremely confident that he could kill this giant toad in the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm in a one-on-one fight.

However, if they want to kill it within sixty breaths, they need Luo Yao's help to hold it back.

"I can only do my best."

As Luo Yao spoke, her hands began to form hand seals, and the thick fog that had enveloped the surrounding peaks surged instantly, with two chains formed from the fog shooting out from afar!

But as the misty chains attacked, the giant toad was filled with dread.

"You old bastard, why are you useless at the crucial moment?"

"Now that this brat and that wench have joined forces, I'm going to lose my life here..."

Despite his complaints, he had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting for his death. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a glittering gold coin, which flew towards Luo Yao!

After the coin flew out of her mouth, it grew larger in the wind, instantly becoming a hundred feet in diameter, like a mountain pressing down on Luo Yao's body!
