Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 314 - 193: Fierce Battle, the Life Gate Remains Hidden (Part 6)
"Wen’an, I’ve come to assist you!"
A clear and elegant female voice sounded, and Luo Yao, dressed in palace attire, gracefully arrived from a distance!
The colored silk ribbon flew up close, then swiftly wrapped around Shen Wen’an and the gigantic toad and another demon beast, enveloping them within, with mist churning around, instantly forming an enclosed space!
Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks!
The surrounding space was locked by the Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks formed by the Cloud River Practice, a middle-grade magical artifact, as Luo Yao’s figure appeared beside Shen Wen’an.
A flash of light appeared in her hand, and she directly took out several pieces of spirit crystals and two bottles of elixirs.
"I will hold off these two beasts, and you should recover quickly."
As Luo Yao spoke, the spell in her hand was already being cast, and the surrounding mist instantly formed into long spears, flying towards the gigantic toad and the wolf demon-like beast in the space!
"Ah?"
"Another tender-skinned woman?"
The giant toad, seeing this, appeared not very frightened but rather excited.
"Old Beilu, this is perfect, the two of us can share!"
It turned out the demon beast was a Beilu that had cultivated into a demon.
"The fifth brother likes tender-skinned female cultivators, I dare not compete with you."
"This female cultivator is for the fifth brother, I’ll go seek out that sword cultivator kid."
Upon seeing the fierce mist spears from Luo Yao, the Beilu demon immediately kicked up a demon wind to dodge and rushed directly towards Shen Wen’an, who was consuming the elixir and refining the spirit crystals.
This scene instantly made the giant toad curse in anger!
"Cunning old scoundrel, you choose the easier target!"
"That kid’s strength is nearly depleted, why not join forces with me to take down this little girl first!?"
Solo intercepting Luo Yao’s attack, the giant toad shouted.
Yet Old Beilu ignored it and was already near Shen Wen’an.
Shen Wen’an stood in mid-air, sword in his right hand, holding a spirit crystal in his left, chewing on an elixir, continuously recovering his inner strength.
A hint of doubt flashed in the Beilu demon’s eyes, as if pondering how much strength this sword cultivator still possessed and whether he could capture him in one strike.
He didn’t act, and Shen Wen’an wouldn’t be in a hurry to make a move either.
The current situation was that every moment of delay meant a bit more recovery of strength.
Once fully recovered, with the Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks in place, he and Luo Yao together might be able to slay these two demon beasts!
However...
Listening to the muffled sounds from all around and watching the swirling mist, Shen Wen’an knew he couldn’t delay too long.
Outside of the Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks, there were three other demon beasts, undoubtedly attacking the Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks formed by the Cloud River Practice with fury.
If it took too long, even Luo Yao wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Forcing the spiritual power to operate and swallowing the spiritual power from the spirit crystal in hand like a whale, Shen Wen’an poured more elixir into his mouth, then slowly pointed his sword toward the Beilu demon.
The Beilu demon, suspicious and cunning by nature.
Seeing Shen Wen’an point his sword at him, the Beilu demon felt a tense chill on his neck, but soon thought this sword cultivator was just bluffing!
"No, I can’t wait any longer!"
"The longer I wait, the more he recovers."
"If I don’t capture him soon, once this space is broken and the other three come in..."
"The blood feast of the Fetal Breathing Realm may end up in someone else’s hands!"
"A sword cultivator in the Fetal Breathing Realm, his Immortal Embryo must contain a deep understanding of the Sword Dao."
"Swallow him, and maybe I too could become a sword cultivator among demon cultivators..."
After some consideration, the Beilu demon thought that even if he was slightly injured, capturing Shen Wen’an would be worth it.
"Fellow Daoist, don’t blame this old one..."
The Beilu demon sneered and directly spat a thick black smoke at Shen Wen’an!
The black smoke spread, with faint sounds of roaring winds and flickering flames within, making it quite a peculiar divine power.
The black smoke could obscure sight, while the flames and fierce winds within worked together to erode and burn the enemy’s flesh.
Shen Wen’an certainly did not underestimate this Beilu demon.
Whether a demon or a human, reaching the late stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm meant none were easy to deal with.
This Beilu demon was inherently cunning and extremely cautious.
Therefore, at the moment it made a move, Shen Wen’an immediately summoned the Sword Element Shield.
At this time, he found himself surrounded by black smoke, making it difficult to see anything else.
The Sword Element Shield before him was constantly under attack by gales and flames, rapidly depleting his internal Sword Element Power.
"What a cunning beast..."
Shen Wen’an thought to himself, instantly understanding that the black smoke was just a tactic used by the Wolf Demon, rather than the killing move.
This Divine Power was not only continuously consuming his Sword Element but also numbing his consciousness.
Making him mistakenly think this was the Wolf Demon’s main method.
Seeing through the opponent’s scheme, Shen Wen’an devised a plan, immediately summoning the Cyan Yuan Sword Nurturing Gourd from his waist.
With a flash of black light, it quickly mixed into the black smoke and disappeared from sight.
As for the Wolf Demon, after spewing black smoke for a while, its eyes flashed with a light beam, seemingly seeing through the black smoke that the Sword Element Shield before Shen Wen’an had obviously weakened, curling its lips into a sinister smile of success.
"It’s time..."
It muttered to itself, and with a flash of light in its hand, it immediately took out two inch-long fangs.
The two fangs looked like the dog fangs of some wolf-type Demon Beast, and although no special aura emanated from them, being taken out as a killing move by the Wolf Demon at this time, they were evidently invaluable treasures not to be underestimated.
After taking out these two fangs, Old Beilu sprayed a mouthful of dense Demon Essence onto them.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two fangs immediately darted into the black smoke!
Within the black smoke, guessing the Wolf Demon had other killing moves, Shen Wen’an remained vigilant.
As the Sword Element Shield before him was continuously bombarded by gales and flames, the two inch-long fangs suddenly rushed out from the black smoke, piercing through Shen Wen’an’s Sword Element Shield in an instant, heading straight for his chest and face!
Clang!
Bang!
In a flash, Shen Wen’an used his Dragon-Slaying Sword to knock away the fang attacking his face!
While the other was directly blocked by the Cyan Yuan Sword Nurturing Gourd!
"I’ve found you, you old devil..."
As Shen Wen’an muttered darkly, a black light instantly burst from the black smoke, piercing directly into the Wolf Demon’s skull!
The head was pierced, the Sea of Consciousness shattered, and the black smoke manipulated by the Wolf Demon slowly dissipated.
After confirming the Wolf Demon was truly dead, Shen Wen’an withdrew his Sword Element Shield, looked around, and saw the objects that had attacked him earlier. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"This thing has a Breaking Essence effect, capable of instantly piercing my Sword Element Shield, can be considered a supreme treasure for ambushes..."
Glancing at the two beast fangs in his hand, Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment, then stowed them directly into his storage bag, wielding his sword, heading towards Luo Yao, who was engaged in battle with a giant toad on the other side.
"Elder Luo, how much longer can the Cloud River Practice last?"
Arriving at Luo Yao’s side, Shen Wen’an immediately asked.
He needed to confirm how much time they had left to eliminate this giant toad.
Luo Yao’s face was somewhat pale, she pondered for a moment before speaking: "The other Demon Beast is dead?"
"I am fully controlling the Cloud River Practice, and can probably hold on for sixty breaths."
"If I persist too long, this Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks will be forcibly broken, I fear I will suffer significant injury, losing all combat power."
Shen Wen’an nodded slightly, saying: "Sixty breaths should be enough."
"Can you help me contain this beast?"
In a one-on-one confrontation, he had great confidence in killing this Late Stage of Fetal Breathing giant toad.
But to kill it within sixty breaths, he needed Luo Yao’s assistance to contain it.
"I can only do my best."
As Luo Yao spoke, her hands started forming a spell, and the dense fog of the Fog-Locked Thousand Peaks surged instantly, as two chains made from the fog shot in from a distance!
Seeing the misty chains approaching, the giant toad inwardly bemoaned its misfortune.
"Old Beilu, why aren’t you reliable at the crucial moment?"
"Now that this boy and girl have teamed up, my old life is about to be handed over here..."
Although it was grumbling inwardly, it did not intend to sit and wait for death, immediately opening its mouth to spit out a golden coin, flying towards Luo Yao!
Once it flew from the mouth, the coin grew larger in the wind, instantly turning into a hundred-zhang diameter, pressing down on Luo Yao’s body like a mountain!
