Chapter 72: Opportunity to Turn the Situation Around
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was what usually happened while fighting demon beasts.
Once a cultivator died, their corpse would instantly be devoured.
All the Shen family cultivators were extremely sad.
It had to be known that when Shen Daofeng, Ancestor Shen Yuanlong, and the others went to the Ganyang Sect to participate in the extermination of the demonic cultivators, there was no accident.
However, this was only the first day of the demon beast riot, and an elder of the Shen Immortal Family had already died.
Everyone knew that such tragedies would continue to happen.
After Shen Daofeng and the female cultivator surnamed Mo died, the overall battlefield situation seemed to have been turned around.
For example, Shen Changnian was cornered and in a dangerous situation.
It had to be known that before he came to Shen Rushuang’s rescue, he had already engaged in a tough fight with several Level 2 demon beasts and was severely injured.
Now, he had to face the two Level 2 demon beasts, the centipede and the platinum red-tailed scorpion.
Of the two, the Platinum Red-Tailed Scorpion was a high-grade Level 2 demon beast.
Shen Changnian was already on the losing side.
In addition, there were still other demon beasts coming to harass him. Shen Changnian, an old man of the Shen family, felt unprecedentedly pressured.
Just as he used a ring-shaped Dharma artifact to block the venom of the centipede, he gave the scorpion a chance to launch a sneak tail attack on him.
Woosh.
When the tail struck him, Shen Changnian immediately vomited blood and fell.
A large part of his chest caved in.
One could even vaguely see the internal organs inside.
“Sixth Uncle!”
The situation naturally attracted the attention of the other Shen family elders.
Shen Rushuang, who had already come to Shen Ruyan’s side, wanted to go back and save Shen Changnian, but Shen Ruyan stopped her.
“Cousin Rushuang, you can’t go over.”
“But Sixth Uncle, he…”
Shen Rushuang’s eyes were filled with tears.
Obviously, everyone already knew that given the situation Shen Changnian was in, he couldn’t be saved.
Even if he was saved, the probability of him surviving was less than io%.
Moreover, he didn’t want to be a burden to everyone.
He suddenly took out a dark red pill from his body.
Shen Rushuang’s expression changed when she saw the pill.
“Blood Burning Pill!”
This pill was a high-grade Level 2 pill.
As the name suggested, after consuming it, the blood in your body would burn crazily and you would obtain extremely powerful strength for a short period of time.
The side effect of this pill was self-evident.
It would burn all the blood in your body.
Obviously, Shen Changnian wanted to use this pill to die with the demon beasts.
“You evil beasts. You want to eat me? Over my dead body!
Everyone, I’ll go first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he swallowed the Blood Burning Pill.
In an instant, Shen Changnian, who was already seriously injured and even on the verge of death, suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful aura.
The Level 2 Dharma artifact battle saber in front of him suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling sharpness.
When Shen Changnian held it, the saber cracked a little. It seemed to be unable to withstand Shen Changnian’s sudden increase in True Essence.
However, because of this, the power of this saber became even more terrifying.
Gradually, the entire saber was covered in a thick layer of blood.
“ROAR!”
The centipede and the platinum red-tailed scorpion seemed to have sensed the terrifying aura emitted by the saber. The two demon beasts actually began to slowly retreat.
Shen Changnian’s eyes suddenly widened as he shouted.
“Slash!”
Boom!
At this moment, a dark red saber beam nearly a thousand feet long suddenly appeared in everyone’s vision.
Hiss.
The centipede did not even have time to escape before its entire body was cut into two by the saber beam.
The Platinum Red-Tailed Scorpion roared crazily.
A layer of armor-like shells appeared on its body.
As it fled crazily, it shot out countless poisonous spikes from its tail.
It was trying to block the slash of the saber.
However, even so, it still couldn’t outrun the saber beam. Almost half of its body was cut off by the saber beam.
The only thing that was slightly better than the centipede was that it was lucky to have survived.
Seeing this, many people present had mixed feelings.
Because they all knew that what Shen Changnian had sacrificed this time was his life.
After Shen Changnian slashed out the saber for the last time, his entire body began to shatter like broken porcelain. In a moment, he turned into dust and dissipated.
This made everyone’s hearts skipped a beat
Right now, it was Shen Changnian, Shen Daofeng, and Fellow Doiast Mo. What about later?
Whose turn would it be later?
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.
The two of them were connected. At this moment, they understood each other’s thoughts.
That was, things could not go on like this.
They had to find an opportunity to turn the situation around.
Without a doubt, the only opportunity to turn the situation around was on the two Violet Palace Realm ancestors.
No matter what, they had to kill one of the four Level 3 demon beasts.
Only then would the remaining three Level 3 demon beasts retreat in fear so that they could buy enough time for the other Violet Palace Realm cultivators to come and help.
At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately sent a voice transmission to Shen Daoming and told him their thoughts and plans.
After Shen Daoming heard it, he really felt that the two of them were bold.
As Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they actually wanted to engage in a Level 3 battle.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that the best way to resolve the current crisis was to engage in the Level 3 battle and buy more time.
Most importantly, with their strength combined, they really had the ability to confront these Level 3 demon beasts.
Firstly, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both had Level 3 talismans that could threaten Level 3 demon beasts.
On the other hand, he had the family treasure, the Level 3 Dharma treasure, the Blue Sea Bell. It was also something that could threaten Level 3 demon beasts.
If the three of them cooperated well and the two Violet Palace Realm ancestors could seize the opportunity to kill a Level 3 demon beast, it was really not impossible to turn the situation around.
At that time, even if the remaining three Level 3 demon beasts didn’t retreat, they would at least be intimidated.
The only problem was, among the four Level 3 demon beasts, which one should they choose to attack?
