247: A piece of rust

The Yao Beasts were incredibly excited.

They couldn't help but shout in excitement.

All this time, Shen Xi had caused them no small amount of trouble.

Even though they were ganging up on Shen Xi, outnumbering him, they hadn't caused him much actual harm.

For Shen Xi and his group, over two hundred Yao Beasts was far too few.

And when divided into eight, the number available to deal with Shen Xi was even more pitifully small.

What they could do, in fact, was mostly to entangle him.

Entangle Shen Xi, and thus wait for the main force to arrive as reinforcements.

But this process required sacrificing lives.

They were dying one after another at Shen Xi's hands.

This made the Yao Beasts hate Shen Xi to the core, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Now, with their leader personally making a move, and even using its racial talent to summon the power of its ancient ancestors, imprinted in its Bloodline, the Yao Beasts saw hope of defeating Shen Xi.

"This power is quite extraordinary."

Shen Xi's eyes were solemn.

Although the Yao Beast leader hadn't yet attacked, he could already clearly feel the terrifying nature of this power.

This was at least the power of the Half-Step Dianling Realm.

Even with Shen Xi's current combat strength, it would be exceptionally difficult to block it.

Moreover, this power was continuously increasing.

"Human kid, you should regret forcing me to use this move. Although my state will decline sharply after using it, killing you and devouring your flesh and blood will be enough to make up for my losses."

The Yao Beast leader sneered, speaking without end.

The next second, its attack finally completed its charge.

An Illusory Beast of the same race as the Yao Beast leader, and with a similar appearance, appeared in mid-air.

The only difference was that the Illusory Beast's combat strength was even more astonishing, and the Aura it exuded was incredibly terrifying.

Initial Dian Ling!

The power of the Illusory Beast had already reached Initial Dian Ling!

"One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces!"

Shen Xi immediately used One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces.

And this was far from enough!

Fifth Level Sword Intent!

Illusion Spirit Pearl!

Illusion Intent!

Double Concept Fusion!

All sorts of methods were used by Shen Xi without reservation.

But even so, facing the Illusory Beast at the Initial Dian Ling Realm, it still seemed somewhat insignificant.

"Xi Zi!"

"Brother Shen, be careful!"

"Damn Yao Beasts, if you have the guts, come at me!"

"Kill! Carve out a bloody path, support Brother Shen!"

His companions also realized the terrifying nature of the Illusory Beast and couldn't sit still, trying their best to come to his aid.

However, they were also caught in a siege, with the Yao Beasts completely surrounding them. Even if they fought with their lives, they couldn't provide support in a short time.

Moreover, even if they did come to support him, with their strength, they couldn't actually do much.

"It seems I can only take a gamble!"

At a critical moment of life and death.

Shen Xi could only take a gamble.

He tried to activate the broken sword within his body, to see if he could use it.

The grade of the broken sword was immeasurable, but as a weapon left by a strong practitioner beyond the Martial Dao Five Realms, even if it was incomplete, it was definitely not ordinary merchandise.

At the very least, it was an Earth-Grade weapon.

And once he could borrow the power of the broken sword, it could help Shen Xi turn the tide and successfully defeat the Yao Beast leader.

Unfortunately, after several attempts to communicate, the broken sword showed no reaction at all.

This sword was as if it had no independent consciousness, completely unresponsive to Shen Xi's calls.

Could it be that he could only use the guardian of the Tower of the Heavens?

Shen Xi was reluctant.

He only had two chances to use it, and to use one for an Innate Transformation of Strength Yao Beast would be too wasteful.

But besides that, there seemed to be no other way.

"Damn Human kid, you've been jumping around for so many days, it's time to send you to your death. I believe your flesh and blood must be delicious!"

The Yao Beast leader licked its lips Addiction bloodily.

As it spoke, the Illusory Beast had already rushed towards Shen Xi.

The vast and mighty Aura was so immense that even space itself couldn't withstand it, beginning to twist and deform.

"Is there only one last method left?"

Shen Xi sighed helplessly, just about to summon the guardian spirit Little Doll.

It was at this critical moment that the broken sword finally reacted.

The broken sword in Shen Xi's body trembled slightly, and this barely perceptible small movement made Shen Xi feel as if his Dantian was being torn apart, and his Meridians were about to snap.

He felt as if he was about to explode and die!

Immediately after, a piece of rust, only the size of a sesame seed, detached from the blade of the broken sword and appeared in Shen Xi's hand.

And with the appearance of the rust, the Illusory Beast, carrying the Divine Might to destroy everything, instantly became listless and showed terror, like a mouse seeing a cat.

At this moment, the Illusory Beast seemed to have gained independent thought, no longer just an attack. In front of the rust, it almost couldn't help but prostrate itself.

This scene instantly stunned everyone present, as well as the Yao Beasts.

"How could this be?"

"It seems the Adult's racial talent is very afraid?"

"No, impossible. This is the power of the Dian Ling Realm. How could it be scared by a Human kid at the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm?"

"We must be hallucinating."

No one noticed the sesame-sized piece of rust that appeared in Shen Xi's palm.

Even if they did notice it, they would never connect it to the Illusory Beast's hesitation and fear.

This was just a piece of rust!

Why could it make even Dian Ling Realm power fearful?

"Perish!"

The next second, Shen Xi let out a soft shout.

The rust immediately drew an elegant arc that no one saw, shooting towards the Illusory Beast.

The Illusory Beast became even more terrified, quickly kneeling to the ground.

Immediately after, the rust pierced its head, completely dispersing it.

The Illusory Beast, shattered!

And the Yao Beast leader, at the same time the Illusory Beast shattered, spat out a mouthful of blood, its state instantly becoming listless.

This was its racial talent, a power it summoned through the patterns on its body and its vital essence, which had already overdrawn its strength.

Now that it was defeated, it was injured even more severely, completely losing its combat ability.

"The Adult has fallen!"

"How could this be, how could this be? Could it be that even the Adult is no match for this Human kid?"

"Run! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Are we really going to be completely wiped out?"

The Yao Beasts immediately became panicked and uneasy.

The power of the Dian Ling Realm was easily resolved by Shen Xi; how could they be his opponents?

If they continued, they would all die at Shen Xi's hands.

This made them involuntarily feel the urge to retreat.

Yao Beasts, like humans, do not want to die in vain.
