Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 394 - 228: Qi Chuan: Why Not Just Kill Our Way Through_2

Since the Qing Family Ancestor had a Tier Three Lower Grade Treasure that could avoid poison, he proposed to take the initiative to block that Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beast with poison attributes and restrain it. However, as for the remaining three beasts with wind, water, and fire attributes, he admitted he was powerless and could only rely on Qi Chuan to handle them.

In response, Qi Chuan simply waved his hand, indicating there was no problem, and agreed to proceed in this manner.

Hearing Qi Chuan agree, the Qing Family Ancestor felt secretly worried in his heart. Qi Chuan was strong, but could he really handle three of the elite Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts?

Soon, the two of them ventured deep into the dense, purple miasma in front. The area was filled with a rotting, damp odor and a thick demonic aura, brimming with poison. A slightly weaker cultivator would be poisoned to death with just a single breath.

Bang!

The Concealing Technique of the Qing Family Ancestor was barely passable, but at such close proximity, it was naturally difficult to escape the keen perception of the Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beast.

Suddenly, the dark purple muddy marsh ahead erupted, sending countless mud drops raining down. In the midst of the foul mud flying everywhere, a purple demon beast’s form soared into the sky, emitting a powerful Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beast aura.

It was a strange snake, three meters long, with scarlet eyes and deep purple scales. Upon seeing the Qing Family Ancestor concealing himself in the low air, it hissed, spewing a mass of purple mist from its mouth, filled with toxic vapors so potent that even a Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator would suffer greatly from a single inhalation.

Seeing that the other had already detected his concealment means, the Qing Family Ancestor stopped pretending. He let out a low shout and spat out a Magical Treasure.

The treasure was an Antitoxic Shield, and once draped over himself, it emitted a faint golden light, blocking the surrounding purple poison mist outside.

Seeing his antitoxic treasure taking effect, the Qing Family Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the purple strange snake hissed again. Seeing its divine techniques blocked, it wasn’t annoyed but instead sprayed several more purple misty clouds, attacking the Qing Family Ancestor.

Though these toxic clouds were blocked again by the golden light from the Qing Family Ancestor’s antitoxic shield, they still exerted considerable pressure on him.

His Antitoxic Shield, though having a restraining effect on poison attribute divine techniques, was not limitless. Soon, it would no longer be so easy, and he would have to consider retreating.

The purple strange snake, having continuously performed several innate divine techniques, ceased its actions and instead surged forward, relying on the powerful physical strength of the demon beast to charge at the Qing Family Ancestor, forcing him to use various means to battle the purple strange snake fiercely.

"I’ve temporarily blocked this poison attribute Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beast. I wonder how Master Qi intends to deal with the remaining three Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts?" While exerting himself in magical combat, the Qing Family Ancestor pondered.

There’s no way around it. The fight here is not critical. The most crucial confrontation is still on Qi Chuan’s side. What he could do was merely delay, without even the capability to defeat the purple strange snake alone.

If something went wrong on Qi Chuan’s side, he truly wouldn’t know what to do.

Roar, roar, roar...

While he was contemplating internally, from his front, left, and right quarters, suddenly came the roars, filled with the dignity of strong demon beasts.

Bam, bam, bam!

Subsequently, three distinctive movements were heard.

The Qing Family Ancestor could feel that from those directions, three strong presences were converging at high speed towards him.

"Not good, the other three Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts have all been alerted!" Realizing these changes, the Qing Family Ancestor’s expression changed.

Now, there truly was no retreat.

At this moment, the three Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts were all coming towards here.

If he got caught in the encirclement of four beasts, he would find no escape route in heaven or earth, only resulting in death here.

"Where is Master Qi?"

The Qing Family Ancestor swept his Divine Sense around, only to find nothing, not even a trace of Qi Chuan’s presence, as if he had vanished.

"Could it be that Master Qi left?" The Qing Family Ancestor couldn’t help but feel something amiss.

Though he knew this was due to Qi Chuan’s incredible stealth skills that he couldn’t detect him.

Still, the situation where he’s about to be besieged by four demon beasts, yet sees no sign of his teammate, naturally made him uneasy.

"Master Qi came upon someone’s request, as an Elder of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he shouldn’t be so unreliable. He must be hiding nearby, waiting for the right moment to act. I mustn’t panic, I must stay calm!"

The Qing Family Ancestor took a deep breath, steadied himself, and focused almost entirely on confronting the purple strange snake before him, almost ignoring the three other Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts rapidly approaching.

Under his earnest magical combat, the purple strange snake really couldn’t do anything to the Qing Family Ancestor for a while.

However, very soon, from three different directions, the three Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts were pressing forward.

A wind attribute strange bird, two meters in size, with a dark cyan body, its feathers smooth, not stained by a trace of mud. With a slight flap of its wings, it stirred a strong breeze, scattering the surrounding purple mist.

A water attribute turtle-like demon beast, six meters long and four meters wide, with turtle shells on its back black as a jagged rocky terrain, exuding an abundant water attribute demon power.

A fire attribute lizard-type demon beast, five meters in size, covered with scales that were originally gray, but abruptly turned red, emanating an extremely hot temperature. The fire attribute energy it emitted caused steam to rise from the marsh below, forming a somewhat spectacular sight.

The three demon beasts all exuded a powerful Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beast aura, stronger than the purple strange snake confronting the Qing Family Ancestor, making them elite among Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts.

Normally, a Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator facing such a number of beings in the same realm could only flee; any slow action would mean disrespecting one’s own life.

However, the Qing Family Ancestor miserably found himself besieged, with the purple strange snake entangling him, while the other three eyed him menacingly, ready to strike at any moment.

This situation surely was a scene of despair.

Moreover, what left a bitter taste in the Qing Family Ancestor’s mouth was that these four demon beasts, known for their keen senses, somehow hadn’t detected Qi Chuan lurking nearby.

This seemed nearly impossible to the Qing Family Ancestor.

No matter how good the Stealth Skill was, it could fool one or two, not all four beasts, especially since their attributes and innate divine techniques varied, and their abilities weren’t identical.

This led him to doubt his prior assumptions. Had Master Qi really left, abandoning him here? If so, it would be the end.

Roar...

Just as he was thinking this, not far away, the three Tier Three Lower Grade Demon Beasts suddenly let out a low roar and jointly attacked.

The three beasts unleashed their most powerful innate divine techniques simultaneously.

In an instant, powerful offensives of wind, water, and fire attributes tore through the void, swiftly attacking towards the Qing Family Ancestor’s position.

At the same time, the purple strange snake in front suddenly retreated, opening its mouth to launch its own innate divine technique again, delivering a strong poison attribute attack towards the Qing Family Ancestor.
