Chapter 411: Chapter 210: Heavenly Secret Concealment (Part 5)

In mid-air, the Profound Iron Long Rod in his hand rose high, and under the augmentation of Spiritual Power, the Profound Iron Long Rod suddenly expanded several zhang, smashing fiercely toward the body of the Mantis Demon!

Although the Mantis Demon was only at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, it clearly had rich battle experience.

When it saw the Profound Iron Long Rod carrying the force of a thousand catties coming down, its wings on its back suddenly spread open, flapping slightly, and it charged out at an extremely fast speed!

Boom!

The Profound Iron Long Rod smashed down fiercely at the original position of the Mantis Demon, creating a big pit in the ground, with dust and smoke rising.

”Gchir-chi-chi!”

The Mantis Demon, having evaded the strike, seemed to know that the two-legged beast descending from the sky posed the greatest threat.

Its sharp blade-like legs plowed deep furrows in the ground as it swiftly turned to face the thick smoke!

Suddenly!

From the dust, the tip of a Profound Iron Long Rod emerged!

Following closely, a figure holding the other end came shooting forward!

The cold compound eyes of the Mantis Demon flashed with a hint of ferocity, and after slightly sinking its body to gather strength, it suddenly leaped and swung its terrifying front limbs toward the figure!

Shen Chongxu was in mid-air, forming a seal with his hands!

A yellow-colored Spirit Light suddenly struck the ground in front of the Mantis Demon!

”Gchir-chi-chi-chi!”

Seeing that the Spiritual Power hadn’t hit itself, the Mantis Demon let out a strange cry that seemed like mockery, and directly infused its Demon Essence into its blade-like front limbs, ready to slice Shen Chongxu into two!

However, its simple mind did not realize that Shen Chongxu’s earlier strike was deliberately aimed at the ground.

Nor did it notice the eerie vortex silently forming on the ground struck by the yellow Spirit Power.

Just as its body skimmed over the vortex, it suddenly felt its Demon Essence weigh heavily!

Its body rapidly descended!

”Gchir-chi-chi!”

The Mantis Demon shrieked, frantically channeling its Demon Elemental Power, trying to flap its wings and escape the bizarre vortex.

But a Profound Iron Long Rod, glowing with yellow light, quickly loomed large in its eyes just as its wings spread open!

Puff!

The Profound Iron Long Rod, carrying the force of a thousand catties, smashed violently onto the Mantis Demon’s head, crushing its head and half of its body to a pulp!

Everything happened extremely quickly.

From the moment Shen Chongxu leaped from the sky to the destruction of the Mantis Demon, it was only a matter of seconds.

Not far away, the Liu siblings watched in shock at Shen Chongxu, whose hair was a bit disheveled and clothes not very tidy.

If not for the jade seal hanging at his waist, the two would never have associated this scruffy youth with the Shen Family’s direct lineage.

”Brother...”

Liu Yiran came to her senses and gently tugged at her brother Liu Qingfeng’s sleeve. The two hurriedly stepped forward, cupped their hands respectfully:

”Xingyang Liu Family, Liu Qingfeng/Liu Yiran greets Young Master.”

Although they had never met Shen Chongxu, they recognized the jade seal.

At this moment, other cultivators from the Shen Family accompanying them in the void also gracefully descended.

Two of them approached the Mantis Demon Beast’s corpse, skillfully dissecting it to retrieve the pill, collecting useful materials.

”Are you disciples of the Liu Family?”

Beside Shen Chongxu, a middle-aged man, whose cultivation had reached Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, looked at the badges on the two and frowned as he spoke.

Liu Yiran hurriedly cupped her hands: ”Reporting to the lord, we are indeed disciples of the Liu Family, ordered to investigate the Spirit Field.”

The middle-aged man said nothing further, turning to glance at Shen Chongxu.

Seeing him carrying the Profound Iron Long Rod, surveying Liu Yiran with interest, then indifferently turning around, saying: ”Let’s go.”

The middle-aged man cupped his hands, then ordered the two: ”Do not take any more risks and go forward. If Young Master Chongxu hadn’t cleared the area a few days ago, you two might have been killed by those Southern Border demon beasts or cultivators long ago.”

On hearing this, Liu Qingfeng’s expression flickered, and looking at Shen Chongxu’s retreating figure, he suddenly pulled his sister to kneel on one knee, cupping his hands: ”Young Master Chongxu!”

Shen Chongxu paused slightly in his steps, then slowly turned around.

Liu Qingfeng spoke respectfully: ”We siblings wish to join the clan soldiers, to follow the Young Master!”

The situation of the siblings in the Liu family was very awkward.

Especially since last year, after both broke through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, their eldest brother, as the direct heir, constantly targeted them.

Whenever the brothers met, they were subjected to numerous admonishments.

Shen Chongxu looked at him impassively.

After a long pause, he sneered and said: ”I, the young master, also have no power or influence in the Shen Family, can’t give you what you want.”

As a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, how could he not see the ambition lurking in Liu Qingfeng’s eyes?

Unfortunately, he himself was muddled and aimless, except for patrolling and guarding around the outskirts of Xingyang City, he was too lazy to bother with these messy affairs.

”We siblings ask for nothing more, just to follow the Young Master!”

Liu Qingfeng spoke again.

With their status, if not for today’s coincidence, they might never have the chance to see the family’s direct lineage in their lifetime.

Having met him this time, he didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.

Seeing Shen Chongxu hesitate, the middle-aged cultivator beside him quickly stepped in to remind: ”Young Master, this matter requires caution...”

He also saw that Liu Qingfeng wanted to leverage Shen Chongxu, a member of the principal family.

Shen Chongxu thought for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: ”Have you thought it through?”

”If so, then come with me.”

With that, he directly manipulated the wind to fly toward the distant engagement.

Liu Qingfeng, with a face full of surprise and excitement, pulled his sister up, saying: ”Ah Ran, our opportunity has come!”

Liu Yiran, looking a bit worried, said: ”Brother, should we inform father about this?”
