Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 308

Chapter 308: The Fallen Shang’an

Time passed very slowly.

At least in the eyes of Taoist Shang’an, the passage of time now was the slowest in his life.

He needed to save Xiao Mei and quickly defeat the guards around him, blocking the mine’s suppression of the stone coffin.

He had envisioned countless scenarios.

First was his insufficient cultivation level; he strove hard and in the shortest time, advanced from Nascent Soul to Spirit Refining, then from Spirit Refining to Return to Void, and after reaching Return to Void, he entered a new realm.

He advanced step by step, reaching a sufficient realm.

He specialized in studying techniques, greatly enhancing the power of his techniques, and also comprehended formations to shake the Human Element Formation, all for the sake of taking Xiao Mei out.

As long as things go smoothly, he can achieve his goal.

But time passes too slowly, and despite his long journey, he still hasn’t left the mine.

Yet, how could he give up?

Nothing can crush his spirit, and no one’s strength can surpass his.

No one!

As he watches the surrounding scenes slow down and the blood creatures continue to besiege him, Taoist Shang’an lets out a roar.

“Ah~”

His essence blood begins to surge out.

A formidable power bursts forth like a flood, shaking everything around him.

At this moment, his strength surpasses the limits of his own realm.

It seems as if he’s burning up all the light he has left.

Enchantress, watching the man fighting desperately for her, burning everything for her, is stunned.

She trembles as she reaches out her hand, wanting to stop him.

“Don’t!”

In an instant, she feels that Shang’an’s feelings for her far exceed her own by too much.

She had never expected this, never understood Shang’an’s feelings.

As her words fall, a roaring sound erupts.

Everything around them collapses into nothingness.

The powerful force shakes the entire mine, momentarily suppressing the mine’s own suppression of the sarcophagus.

At this moment, Enchantress feels a brief sense of freedom.

When she looks at Shang’an again, it’s as if she, who is in the darkness, sees a light illuminating the path.

A path that could lead her to freedom. Now she sees Shang’an looking back at her.

His unforgettable face breaks into a gentle smile, followed by his soft voice.

“Xiao Mei, I’ll take you out.”

In that instant, for some reason, Enchantress’s eyes begin to moisten, and large tears slide down her cheeks.

Boom!

The mine strikes back again, this time with a force that surpasses Shang’an.

But at this moment, Shang’an, carrying the sarcophagus, keeps using the magical technique Shrinking the Earth into an Inch.

The scenery around him keeps changing as he quickly leaves the mine.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Streaks of crimson light begin to pierce through Taoist Shang’an, but he seems oblivious to it.

Just hold on a little longer, just a bit more, and he can get out.

As long as he gets out, Xiao Mei will be free.

No one can stop him, absolutely no one.

He is the strongest here, unmatched by anyone.

In just a few breaths, Taoist Shang’an’s body is filled with crimson light, but the blood creatures that were about to attack unexpectedly do not move.

They are stunned by Shang’an.

Most of these methods were left by women to suppress Enchantress, even with the various changes occurring in the mine.

But they still retain some of their characteristics.

Now, seeing Shang’an, these sensitive characteristics are activated, and Shang’an’s actions and his conviction completely stun them.

This causes the blood creatures to cease their attack.

However, the mine itself is still attacking, and at this point, Shang’an is at the end of his strength.

Even if the blood creatures do not act, he may not be able to leave the mine.

Yet, the Shang’an who should have fallen does not fall.

He endures the attacks, suffers the pain, and stubbornly reaches the entrance of the mine.

As he watches his own body begin to fade, Enchantress truly feels freedom.

Freedom is just a step away from her.

At this time, the robed figures who have been waiting outside for two days dare not approach the mine.

The power erupting from the mine during this time has instilled fear in them as if it could engulf them at any moment.

What kind of terrifying existence is this? They do not know.

A battle of such terror erupting in the Foundation Establishment area is far beyond their imagination.

However, as the battle gradually subsides, they become anxious.

“What’s the outcome?” the robed woman asks.

“I don’t know, but the mine is undamaged. I don’t know if it’s unnecessary or if the other party couldn’t do it,” the robed man replies.

The two are still exchanging words when they suddenly feel someone coming out of the mine.

They quickly hide their presence and conceal their breath.

They fear being detected.

But after waiting a while, they sense that the person’s breath is extremely weak as if they are at the end of their rope.

The two are quite surprised and glance at each other.

They decide to go and take a look, observing from a distance, careful not to get too involved.

As they get closer, they find a blood-covered man dragging a sarcophagus out of the mine.

His breath is weak, his power dissipating.

He is as frail as a dying man.

Especially his injuries, which would be fatal to any ordinary cultivator.

Yet he is still alive, still pulling the sarcophagus out of the mine.

The two robed figures are astonished but dare not approach rashly.

Not until the man looks back, as if confirming something, then with a thud, he collapses to the ground.

“Who is he? And what is this sarcophagus?” they wonder with puzzled faces.

“Shall we go take a look?” the robed woman asks.

“Just wait a bit longer,” the man in the black robe cautiously said.

After waiting for a while and confirming that their opponent was indeed critically injured and dying, they approached.

“First, let’s trap them,” said the man in the black robe as he used a spell to confine Taoist Shang’an.

Then the two of them approached the stone coffin.

“What could be inside?”

The woman in the black robe hesitated before asking, “Should we try opening it?”

“Better not. It could trigger unnecessary problems. Let’s get that item first, then we can explore this thing. Besides, the commotion just now clearly had something to do with the stone coffin; it’s somewhat beyond our capabilities,” the man in the black robe hesitated for a long while before deciding to give up.

“Alright, then let’s have Bu Haicheng keep watch while we continue preparing the seal. I have a feeling Dongfang Ji is about to succeed,” the woman in the black robe said.

……

At this moment, Dongfang Ji arrived at the depths of the mine.

He felt that all the surrounding power was heading towards another place.

The presence there was unimaginable, so powerful that he dared not harbor any thoughts of confronting it.

However, at this moment, he finally saw his goal.

In the open cave, a green bead was trapped.

It was covered in many traces of blood as if it had just absorbed a spiritual beast.

It seemed somewhat satiated now, but in less than a day, it would start devouring blood energy again.

So it was imperative to take it out within the day and then seal it.

After waiting for a while, Dongfang Ji noticed that the power from other places was starting to return, and the aura of the previous powerful being had disappeared.

He didn’t rush to act.

If the powerful being had left, then he would wait a bit longer for it to get farther away.

That would be much safer.

Now was the time to wait, to wait until the blood creatures attacked and then take the bead out.

……

In the middle of the night.

Dongfang Ji sensed a crisis coming from the mine.

Without hesitation, he began to leave the mine with the item.

Success or failure hinged on this moment.
