Chapter 312: Chapter 193: Fierce Battle, the Life Gate Remains Hidden (Part 4)

The elderly man with long eyebrows was at this point powerless to resist, and thus his heart was filled with a deep sense of unwillingness!

As a dignified cultivator in the Late Stage of the Fetal Breathing Realm, he had been defeated by a mere Qi Cultivation Realm brat today!

Moreover, feeling the domineering poison that had spread throughout his body, and watching the abyssal maw inching closer, the elderly man with long eyebrows vaguely felt that he would not only die in disgrace but might also inadvertently aid his enemy after death!

With this thought, he let out an angry roar!

But that roar was abruptly cut off!

The ox-headed demon had completely swallowed his body into its belly.

“Tsk tsk… the immortal embryo of a Late Stage of Fetal Breathing…”

“Hmm?”

“What is this!?”

The ox-headed demon, ready to savor the sensation of an immortal embryo of a Late Stage cultivator dissolving within itself, suddenly felt a fiercely domineering toxin explode inside!

In an instant, a great amount of toxin surged throughout its body!

The poison was madly corroding its internal organs and flesh, forcing the ox-headed demon to reveal its true form—a giant blue ox, rampaging madly through the forest!

“Fourth brother, fifth brother, you are skilled with poisons, come save third brother quickly!”

Among the seven demons, a woman with furry fox ears and scantily dressed saw the blue ox in such distress and hurriedly rushed to the toad and cyan-faced snake demon.

The giant toad stared gloomily at the blue ox and said, “It’s useless.”

“We are skilled with poisons, but not in detoxifying them.”

“If fourth brother and I had consumed this toxin, not only would we be unharmed, but it would also be a tonic.”

“Unfortunately, third brother was too impatient and feared missing out…”

The cyan-faced snake demon said nothing, its cold vertical pupils locked onto the blue ox thrashing in pain, then its body suddenly flickered forward!

While in mid-air, it revealed its true form, transforming into a hundred-zhang long cyan serpent!

The giant serpent opened its mouth wide, directly engulfing the blue ox into its belly!

With a flash of light, the cyan serpent turned back into human form, landing where it started.

The cyan-faced snake demon flicked its tongue contentedly, saying, “For the sake of our brotherhood, third brother… this is the best I can do to ease your suffering…”

The remaining demons, upon witnessing this scene, showed a flicker of fear in their eyes and dared not say anything further.

Only the giant toad showed a hint of regret!

“Damn, just a step too slow!”

“That was an immortal embryo of the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, along with the old ox’s Dao practice, all now conveniently benefiting the fourth brother…”

“Once he digests this power, I’ll need to be careful, best not to be alone with him…”

The giant toad thought to itself but then turned its gaze toward Shen Wen’an and the beardless man in the air.

“Alright, brothers, let’s not waste time.”

“Act together, these two blood feasts are up for grabs, whoever gets them, keeps them.”

As the words fell, the remaining demons soared into the air, surrounding Shen Wen’an and the beardless man.

“Little fellow, don’t resist later, I’ll temporarily swallow you, and after returning, I’ll release you.”

“Then you’ll have a chance to keep your life, how about it?”

Shen Wen’an was readying himself with his sword for battle when suddenly a voice rang directly in his sea of consciousness.

His gaze slowly turned to the scantily clad fox demon woman.

He saw her teasing and posing, with every gesture full of seduction.

The fox demon was exerting her charm skill diligently, totally unaware of how ridiculous this low-level charm skill was to a Sword Cultivator with Sword Heart Clarity.

Shen Wen’an took a step forward, and his body suddenly transformed into a flash of sword aura, disappearing instantly!

The fox demon, realizing this, understood that her charm skill likely had no effect!

Just as she was about to defend herself, Shen Wen’an’s figure brushed past her, appearing behind her, a drop of fresh blood slowly dripped from the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword in his hand.

The fox demon’s figure froze in place, her charming face full of shock and disbelief.

As her head slightly turned, trying to look back, a blood line suddenly appeared across her neck, and her exquisite head fell from her shoulders.

“What a sword cultivator!”

To the left, the cyan-faced snake demon, witnessing him slay the fox demon with one blow, felt no anger or fear in its eyes but rather a hint of greed.

“Devouring your Dao practice, I might just become a sword dao expert among demon cultivators,” it thought.

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

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

As long as he could kill him, the remaining five demons, even if he couldn’t defeat them, could be stalled for a while, giving his clan members in the mountain time to evacuate safely.

In the distance.

Shen Chongming watched the tense situation in the air with a heavy heart, fully aware that his third uncle Shen Wen’an could be in danger this time.

“Little centipede, go back immediately to get your leader for reinforcements.”

Before the words could finish, he himself flickered away, running towards another direction on Hidden Dragon Mountain!

…

At the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan stood on the floating bridge with his hands behind his back, inspecting the pond water with a somber expression.

“Grandfather, what’s troubling you?”

Shen Li cautiously poked her head out from the pavilion window and asked.

She had noticed that Shen Yuan had been standing alone on the bridge for more than an hour.

Seemingly encountered some difficult problem.

Shen Yuan snapped out of it, glanced at her, and then returned to the Black Water Pavilion to sit down.

“Grandfather, have some tea.”

Shen Li, obediently holding a teacup, approached.

Shen Yuan took the teacup, absent-mindedly scratching it a few times, then placed it back on the desk.

“The Life Gate is becoming increasingly obscure…”
