The Tianshu Battlefield
"Gentlemen, urgent news from the Tianji Sea! It has fallen there, and the battle is now spreading to the Tianxuan Sea."
"Although Kaiyang and Yaoguang are holding things up, we must free up our resources, otherwise the entire Luo Heaven Sea might fall!"
Venerable Tianshu looked at the three fourth-tier Demon Beast that kept coming over to cause trouble not far away. His expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he did not lose his composure too much.
"Jingqing, from now on, we, the Tianshu Sect, are entrusted to you." Venerable Tianshu patted the shoulder of the young man beside him and sighed with an air of maturity, "Remember, the sect's lineage must not be broken."
"Senior brother, you..."
Venerable Tianshu waved his hand and said, "My three junior brothers, go ahead and provide support in the Tianxuan Sea. I can manage here on my own."
"But..."
"No buts, this is an order!" Venerable Tianshu glanced at the three Demon Beast opposite him and shouted sternly.
Jingqing sighed, looked at her senior brother, and said, "Senior brother, take care of yourself."
After saying that, he waved to his two junior brothers who were in the Nascent Soul Early Stage stage behind him and left.
"Why did three escape?" A hint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of a black water snake as large as a dragon. "Green Snake, should we investigate further?"
"Let's wait a bit." A green snake, only a dozen feet long, shook its head in a human-like manner and said, "Let's wait until they're far away. That old guy is very strong; we can't take him down in a short time."
"Right now, he's the only one who can threaten us. There's no rush. Although they said they went to support other places, they said that to our faces. Who knows if they actually went or not? It's better to be careful to avoid being ambushed."
"What are you two cowering for?" A large fish crackling with electricity sneered and charged forward at top speed.
"He's really regressing with age; he's lost all his Demon Beast spirit."
The green snake and the black snake exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of mockery in each other's eyes.
However, neither of them said anything; they just watched quietly and made no attempt to help.
Soon, Venerable Tianshu was engaged in battle with the electric fish. The flashes of lightning that appeared from time to time were like thunderbolts, killing swathes of the Demon Beast below. Even some small deserted islands were destroyed by the lightning.
However, Venerable Tianshu was, after all, Nascent Soul Late Stage. Although humans were at a disadvantage when fighting against Demon Beast, this electric fish was only at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, so Venerable Tianshu still had the upper hand.
A moment later, the electric fish was cleaved in two by Venerable Tianshu's sword, leaving a wound over ten feet long. He roared furiously at the two snakes behind him, "Are you dead?!"
After watching for a while, Black Snake and Green Snake realized that no one from the other side had come out to help them, so they immediately set off to join the battle.
With their addition, Venerable Tianshu immediately suffered a series of defeats. Three mid-stage fourth-tier Demon Beast working together against a Nascent Soul Late Stage like him was simply too much for him to handle.
Half a cup of tea later, Venerable Tianshu destroyed a defensive Law Treasure, and the situation immediately became even more critical.
He used the force of the green snake's tail sweep to briefly create distance, and shook his head with a somewhat sorrowful expression as he watched the other party relentlessly pursue him.
"Enough, enough! I've lived for fifteen hundred years, and that's enough! Looking back on my life, it seems it has indeed been uneventful. Today, I'll add a chapter of epic grandeur to my life!"
A red pill radiating intense Sha Qi appeared in Venerable Tianshu's hand. He casually tossed it into his mouth, and instantly, a surge of malevolent Sha Qi erupted from his body!
This pill is called the Sha Pill. It was only refined by Venerable Tianshu. It is a fourth-grade high-quality pill with no other function than to forcibly enhance one's strength. Nascent Soul Late Stage can forcibly advance to the Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm.
Of course, such a miraculous pill is not without its side effects; once taken, the price is the user's life!
"Oh no, this old man's on drugs!" Black Snake exclaimed in alarm, immediately halting his attack and attempting to retreat, but it was too late.
"It's just Sha Qi, what's there to be afraid of!" Electric Fish said noncommittally, "Keep fighting, I'll lead the charge!"
"If either of you dares to run now, don't blame me for going to Eagle King and Blood Shark King to have a word with them."
Just as the blue electric ball spat out by the electric fish was about to hit Venerable Tianshu, suddenly, the other party opened his eyes. At this moment, the black and white color in Venerable Tianshu's eyes disappeared, replaced by an extremely rich blood red.
The green snake, which accidentally made eye contact with Venerable Tianshu, trembled and its body stiffened briefly.
"That... that... that look in your eyes..."
A hint of fear flashed in the green snake's eyes, and it murmured softly, seemingly trying to describe that look, but unable to find the right words.
Suddenly, Venerable Tianshu moved, and the cyan electric ball missed its target.
"Electric fishing? Watch out, you'll be in trouble!" A look of shock flashed in the black snake's eyes as it hurriedly warned, a hint of lingering fear in its voice.
Electric Fish's expression changed, but it was too late to run. His entire body was immediately covered in a purple electric light.
This lightning bolt was almost comparable to the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation, which contained a trace of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning. He didn't believe that guy would dare to touch his spear.
Moreover, he only needs to withstand this blow; as long as he isn't seriously injured, he'll be fine.
However, Venerable Tianshu was different from before. He didn't dodge or flinch, but instead crashed directly into the lightning. Even though he was covered in black smoke, he didn't retreat even a step!
Noticing the anomaly above him, Electric Fish panicked. He hadn't expected the old man to actually dare to come in, but then a wild, beast-like savagery flashed in his eyes.
"Old man, since that's how it is, let's see who dies first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the lightning on his body immediately concentrated on Venerable Tianshu above his head.
The black snake and the green snake were not idle either, and they both made their moves. The black snake spat out a cold ice spike that was as cold as a rain of pear blossoms, and it attacked the Venerable Tianshu above the electric fish's head. The green snake spat out a green poison arrow that was as foul as a fishy smell.
But Venerable Tianshu ignored all these attacks, his blood-red eyes fixed only on the large fish at his feet.
He raised his charred black hand and plunged it downwards, piercing through the electric fish's flesh and inserting it inside. Immediately, a burst of bloody light erupted around him, and he burrowed into the wound.
In an instant, the electric sparks on the surface of the electric fish's body paused, and then its entire body was enveloped by an extreme aura of Sha Qi.
"Ah!"
"You old bastard, get out here!" The electric fish's body writhed and trembled, and bolts of electricity shot into the wound, trying to force the other out.
Seeing this, the black snake and green snake, who were not far away, glanced back and struck the electric fish, causing the electric fish's screams to become even more intense.
