116: forbidden device

"What method?"

Shen Xi subconsciously asked.

"There's no time to explain so much. If you want to live, you must help me stall for five minutes!"

The girl said anxiously.

The next second, the two separated again, unable to communicate privately.

For a time, Shen Xi fell into deep thought.

Should he trust the girl and stall for five minutes?

You know, these were three Later Heaven Transformation Realm Yao Beasts, and hundreds of Acquired Realm Yao Beasts!

Even if Shen Xi gave his all, he could at most stall for five minutes.

After five minutes, he would be exhausted and completely overwhelmed by the Demon Beast Leaders.

If the girl was just using him to attract the Yao Beasts' firepower and escape, then Shen Xi would be dead for sure.

This made him hesitant.

But soon, Shen Xi noticed the covetous gazes of the Demon Beast Leaders on him.

I'll risk it!

Finally, Shen Xi made his decision.

Even with the girl helping to divert firepower, how long could Shen Xi last?

Ten minutes?

Or fifteen minutes?

No matter how long, the final result would be the same: Shen Xi would eventually be completely devoured by the Yao Beasts.

Rather than waiting for death, Shen Xi decided to take a gamble.

What if the girl really had a way to turn the tide?

"A bunch of trash, if you have the guts, come at me, your grandpa! After fighting for so long, you still can't do anything to your grandpa!"

Shen Xi began to mock all the Yao Beasts present.

To attract firepower, he became even more frantic, completely disregarding everything and fighting desperately.

And this fighting style clearly had a good effect; in just a few breaths, three more Demon Beast Leaders died by Shen Xi's hands.

"Damn it, is this guy crazy?"

"This desperate fighting style, he doesn't care about his own life or death. Does this kid not want to live?"

"He knows he's going to die, so killing one is no loss, killing two is a gain."

"Let's take care of this crazy guy first. If we let him continue, at least ten more Yao Beasts will die!"

The Demon Beast Leaders all spoke up, their attention completely focused on Shen Xi.

Especially those Yao Beasts from the Demon Beast Leaders Alliance, they wished they could immediately suppress and kill Shen Xi.

Those who died were all members of their Alliance!

What was weakened was also their strength.

They were already under great pressure from the Golden Lion and the other two, and if they lost too many more Yao Beasts, they would have no chance of winning at all.

For a time, the situation changed subtly.

All the Yao Beasts of the Demon Beast Leaders Alliance launched a thunderous assault on Shen Xi, as if to immediately kill him.

On the other hand, the Golden Lion and the other two intentionally or unintentionally held back, moving out of the range of this battle.

They were happy for Shen Xi to weaken the strength of the Demon Beast Leaders Alliance.

But how could Shen Xi allow the Golden Lion and the other two to disengage from the battle? His goal was to hold back all the Yao Beasts.

Upon discovering that the Golden Lion and the other two were about to turn their attack on the girl, Shen Xi once again charged at them like a madman.

"Damn it! This guy is really crazy!"

"Kill him! We cannot allow him to continue living."

"Stop holding back, all of you! I want this bastard dead!"

The Golden Lion and the other two were furious.

They had planned to use Shen Xi to consume the strength of the Demon Beast Leaders Alliance, but instead, the opponent clung to them.

The pride of being Later Heaven Transformation Realm Yao Beasts made them furious.

They no longer bothered to consider anything else and attacked with all their might.

They've all been drawn in. Don't disappoint me!

Shen Xi took a deep look in the direction of the girl.

She wasn't running away, but was preparing something.

However, except for Shen Xi, all the Demon Beast Leaders' attention was on him, so they naturally didn't notice what the girl was doing.

And Shen Xi, of course, wouldn't expose the girl's small movements. On the contrary, he attacked even more desperately, increasing the Demon Beast Leaders' hatred.

One minute passed.

Shen Xi was already covered in wounds.

Two minutes passed.

His clothes were stained with blood, most of which was his own.

Three minutes.

Shen Xi already felt dizzy, a sign of excessive blood loss.

Four minutes.

A trace of helplessness appeared in Shen Xi's heart.

He seemed to have overestimated his combat power. Facing three Later Heaven Transformation Realm Yao Beasts and hundreds of Acquired Realm Demon Beast Leaders, he was starting to lose his ability to hold on.

Only one minute left!

Shen Xi said unwillingly.

He had stalled for a full four minutes, and there was only one minute left, but he really couldn't hold on anymore!

Could it be that this was the end?

Shen Xi thought with regret, unwilling for it to end like this.

"It's done!"

Just then, the girl let out a joyful cheer.

The next second, a vast power, like an ocean, spread outwards from the girl.

Under this power, all the Demon Beast Leaders showed signs of panic.

"This is the power of a forbidden weapon!"

"Damn it, who exactly is this girl, to possess a forbidden weapon!"

"Isn't this something from legends?"

"This forbidden weapon is specifically for us Yao Beasts, we're finished!"

Amidst unwilling roars, the Demon Beast Leaders began to melt like snowflakes under the scorching sun.

In just a few breaths, all the Demon Beast Leaders died, turning to ashes.

"Phew! A narrow escape from death!"

Only then did the girl pat her chest with lingering fear and let out a long breath.

And Shen Xi, under the power of the forbidden weapon, was not only unharmed but his injuries were completely healed, and he even vaguely felt that his power, which had just broken through to the Houtian Chucheng Realm, had stabilized quite a bit.

"What is this thing?"

Shen Xi couldn't help but gasp.

According to what the Demon Beast Leaders said, the girl used a forbidden weapon?

But what exactly is a forbidden weapon?

He had never heard of it.

"A forbidden weapon! You haven't heard of it?"

The girl looked at Shen Xi with disbelief.

In her opinion, Shen Xi was in the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm and so young.

Even if his background wasn't as good as hers, it wouldn't be too far off, so how could he not even know about forbidden weapons?

"I don't know!"

Shen Xi shook his head.

As his words fell, the girl's eyes became incredibly complex.

Not knowing about forbidden weapons also meant that Shen Xi was not from a Secluded Faction.

So, he wasn't like her, who had received the top-tier training and most luxurious resources from a young age?

But even so, Shen Xi had reached the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm?

Then wouldn't he be even more of a Genius than her!

Realizing this, a fervent gleam appeared in the girl's eyes.

Her mission this time, in addition to finding the martial token fragment, also had the purpose of finding a Genius from a humble background.

Shen Xi's performance clearly met the requirements for a Genius from a humble background.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but show a brilliant smile at the corner of her mouth.
