At this moment, more than a dozen demonic beasts soared into the sky, their auras ranging from the late stage to the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm. They either spread their wings or leaped lightly with their strong limbs, their massive bodies instantly obscuring the sky, creating an extremely terrifying spectacle.

Fortunately, Chen Qian reacted very quickly, and since he was fleeing with all his might from the start, he did not fall into the encirclement of the monsters.

Just as they were about to escape the range of the mountains, Shen Qian suddenly stopped, realizing a problem.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).

He turned his head and saw that, sure enough, the light emanating from the altar on the mountaintop was getting stronger and stronger. Correspondingly, the crack in the sky was also continuing to widen. At this moment, a tiger-leopard-like monster, hundreds of meters long, had climbed onto the altar and was preparing to descend to Earth through the temporary passage.

If Shenqian were to leave like this, then his decision to come in without hesitation would be meaningless.

Shen Qian frowned, then sighed helplessly. He stood still in mid-air, reached out and pulled a long sword that shimmered with blue and red light from the void.

"roar!"

An ancient monster resembling a giant moth pounced on them, its huge, serrated mouth opening wide without the slightest hesitation despite Shen Qian's pause, and swallowed him whole.

Clang!

With a flash of light, the Mountain and River Blade, which had been hidden for nearly a month, was drawn. It was infused with the Yuan Power of the Sun, bringing with it a terrifying blade light hundreds of feet long, which slashed straight into the gaping maw of the moth-like monster.

Whoosh!

Without a scream or the slightest hesitation, the moth-like monster was sliced ​​in two by the blade's edge, its blood, mixed with a stench, gushing out and raining down from the sky.

"Am I that strong?"

Seeing the ancient demon beast, whose aura was almost at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm, being killed by his single strike, Shen Qian was stunned.

The next moment he realized that this was the significant damage boost from the Hidden Edge effect, combined with the level increase of the Mountain and River Blade and the burst of the "Blade King" enchantment effect, which created such an earth-shattering strike.

Buzz!

Amidst the invisible tremors, wisps of golden energy, mixed with the blood of the demonic beast, drifted in and were absorbed by the Mountain and River Blade.

Shen Qian clearly felt that the quality of the Mountain and River Blade had improved slightly again.

Thirst for blood!

Shen Qian knew that this was a temporary evolution brought about by the third spirit-enchanting effect of the Mountain and River Blade. If it continued to absorb the spirit, the Mountain and River Blade could evolve to the highest level of SSS, equal to the long spear in the hands of the senior brother.

Having directly experienced the immense combat power boost brought to him by the Mountain and River Blade, Shen Qian was surprised to find that the ancient monsters covering the mountains and plains didn't seem so terrifying anymore.

With a surge of heroic spirit, Chen Qian moved swiftly and took the initiative to meet the dozen or so ancient demonic beasts that were charging towards him.

"Shadow Blade!"

With a single, powerful slash, he severely wounded a demonic beast, and then with another strike, he cut the beast down.

A hurricane struck from behind, and the other two demonic beasts pounced on him while he was sheathing his sword. They both extended their sharp claws and tore his body apart.

But no blood was produced. Shen Qian's body vanished like a phantom and appeared above the altar as if by teleportation.

"Shadow Shift!"

This is the movement technique left behind by the Heavenly King, which has reached the level of nine stars.

The specific effect is that before sinking, one can instantly reach any place where one has been in the past ten seconds.

At its current speed, the maximum distance covered in those ten seconds is approximately ten kilometers.

Therefore, this is an extremely powerful skill for chasing and escaping!

Moreover... this is only the effect of the initial stage.

Yes, after nearly a month of meticulous study, Shen Qian's mastery of this nine-star movement technique was only at the beginner level...

Although "Shadow Shift" is a nine-star martial skill, the rarity of such a star-level martial skill is no less than that of a supernatural power. Shen Qian was also amazed after testing its effects.

Unfortunately, the difficulty of comprehending it is too high. If one has already mastered the Minor Completion level of the Shadow Shift technique, one can rewind to twenty seconds. If one has reached the Major Completion level, one can directly increase it to one minute. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that one is truly "appearing and disappearing like a ghost".

It was precisely because he had a basic grasp of this movement technique that Chen Qian had the confidence to single-handedly storm into the A-level "gate".

When Shen Qian arrived above the altar, the ancient monster with a tiger's head and a leopard's body began to become illusory, about to be teleported to Earth.

Without a second thought, Shen Qian slashed down with his sword.

As the blade of light poured down, the tiger-leopard beast roared and had to solidify its body again. Then it raised its huge claws, which gleamed with metallic luster, to block the blade that was about to strike.

The tiger and leopard beast's claws were torn apart by the blade's light, but Shen Qian didn't have time to unleash a second strike, as several beasts were already closing in from behind.

At the same time, because the teleportation of the tiger and leopard demon beasts was interrupted, the many demon beasts that were originally queuing up on the mountain ridge also went on a rampage, and dozens more demon beasts soared into the sky and joined the ranks of those surrounding and killing Chen Qian.

Shen Qian dared not be careless. Although his defense was far superior to that of other martial artists of the same realm under the three physical restrictions, he would still be seriously injured if he directly took a blow from a top-tier Mountain and Sea Realm expert.

His figure twisted and turned in mid-air, never lingering in any one place for even a second. At the same time, whenever a demonic beast tried to enter the altar, he would seize the opportunity to slash with his sword.

Despite the ongoing battle, no more monsters perished in the short term, but the Mountain and River Blade, which was constantly absorbing the blood of the monsters, became increasingly sharp. As soon as the blade's light appeared, all the monsters had to temporarily retreat, including even the thick-skinned bear and tortoise monsters.
