Chapter 80: Chapter 78: So Beautiful It Breaks His Heart Chapter 80: Chapter 78: So Beautiful It Breaks His Heart Shen Qinghe was skeptical, “Oh really?”
In the past, Yan Changsheng had helped Nan Sheng steal her secret manual. He was clearly Nan Sheng’s accomplice, and at this mont, she did not believe his words.
Yan Changsheng also couldn’t forget his past actions, so it was no wonder that Qinghe no longer trusted him.
“I was wrong to you before,” Yan Changsheng finally said hoarsely after a while.
Shen Qinghe couldn’t be bothered to reply, sensing that this abyss was fraught with danger.
She pricked up her ears to listen, and soon heard unusual noises, like the sound of many footsteps getting closer.
However, Yan Changsheng’s hearing was not what it used to be. By the ti he sensed sothing was amiss, they were quickly surrounded by over a hundred four-horned mythical beasts.
Shen Qinghe faced this massive array with a wry smile.
No wonder cultivators with low cultivation bases cannot enter the Red Moon Secret Realm to cultivate. The secret realm is truly sinister, anything could happen.
If she had fallen down alone just now, the spiritual energy in her body wouldn’t have lasted long, and she wouldn’t be able to deal with so many mythical beasts.
But Yan Changsheng had followed her down, and she had the Red Lotus Shield Armor on hand. Even though her cultivation base was only at the Early Foundation Establishnt Stage, her spiritual energy would not be exhausted. She would have to fight to the death no matter what.
The hundreds of mythical beasts surrounded them without attacking, as if deliberately exerting psychological pressure on Shen Qinghe and Yan Changsheng.
Yan Changsheng and Shen Qinghe stood back to back. He said gravely, “Later on, just take care of yourself, don’t worry about .”
His life was already one saved by the Master. Having wronged the Master and Qinghe so much in the past, today it wouldn’t be excessive to repay Qinghe with his life.
Shen Qinghe didn’t speak, her eyes fixed on the mythical beasts, pondering whether to wait for these wild beasts to attack or to take the initiative herself.
If she attacked first, she might gain a slight advantage. Waiting like this was no solution.
Just then, all the four-horned beasts suddenly launched an attack at them.
Shen Qinghe struck back with the Red Lotus Shield Armor the mont the mythical beasts attacked.
The Red Lotus Shield Armor was an ancient spiritual weapon, the more powerful the user’s cultivation base, the greater its might. If it were in Dongfang Wuya’s hands, its effect would have been several tis that of Shen Qinghe’s.
But even in the hands of Shen Qinghe, a cultivator in the Early Foundation Establishnt Stage, its power was still not to be underestimated.
With one strike from the Red Lotus Shield Armor, several four-horned mythical beasts were severely wounded and fell to the ground.
The other beasts noticed that Yan Changsheng was easier to deal with than Shen Qinghe, and they all attacked him together.
Although Yan Changsheng’s swordsmanship was extraordinary, without spiritual energy in his body, his sword movents were sluggish and he was unable to strike the beasts’ vital points. His swordplay slowed under the attack of several beasts, and he was soon struck in the back by one of them, and as he fell to the ground, another beast stepped toward his body.
At this critical juncture, Shen Qinghe swung the Red Lotus Shield Armor, repelling the attacks of several mythical beasts, and with her short sword, she barely stabbed the beast that was about to step on Yan Changsheng.
The beast hesitated due to the pain, and Yan Changsheng rolled on the ground, seizing the opportunity to escape from under the beast’s massive claw, breaking into a cold sweat.
“Do you have a spare Spirit Sword? My short sword is not so effective,” Shen Qinghe said, her face sared with blood, which only made her dark hair and snowy skin, and her bright, starry eyes stand out even more.
Yan Changsheng was facing Qinghe’s bright, fiery eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel his heart break at the sight of the beautiful girl in front of him.
If Nan Sheng was a delicate beauty, arousing a desire to protect her, Qinghe was like the sunny optimism, giving hope even in desperate situations.
As several more beasts attacked, Shen Qinghe used the Red Lotus Shield Armor to shield Yan Changsheng behind her.
Yan Changsheng’s feelings were complex.
Qinghe had grown up under his care. She was once a delicate little girl; when had he ever seen her slaughtering so fiercely?
Logically, it should have been him protecting Qinghe, but today the roles had reversed, and he found himself shielded behind her. Since he had started his cultivation journey, it had always been him protecting others. Today was the first ti soone else was protecting him, and it was a woman no less.
He took a Spirit Sword from his Qiankun Bag and handed it to Shen Qinghe, “Try using this sword.”
Shen Qinghe took the sword and found that a long sword was much more useful than a short sword.
The other Mythical Beasts were completely enraged by Shen Qinghe and attacked her in a frenzy.
That was exactly what Shen Qinghe had hoped for.
With her left hand holding the Shield Armor and her right hand wielding the Spirit Sword, she not only steadfastly protected Yan Changsheng behind her, but her Spiritual Energy also beca more and more abundant, and her sword spirit beca increasingly fierce.
Although the Mythical Beasts would get back up quickly after being injured and charge at them again as if their lives depended on it, they seed to never tire and kept launching wave after wave of attacks.
Shen Qinghe did not lack Spiritual Energy, but facing such relentless attacks, she also grew tired, and after two Shichen, she started to falter.
Yan Changsheng, seeing clearly, impaled a beast and said, “Qinghe, take a rest for a while, I’ll handle them.”
Shen Qinghe let out a light pant and dug out two Spirit Pills from her Qiankun Bag. She handed one to Yan Changsheng and popped the other into her mouth.
After swallowing the Spirit Pill, she was instantly infused with strength, and she showed no rcy when killing the Mythical Beasts.
Upon consuming the Spirit Pill, Yan Changsheng knew that these pills were gifts from Dongfang Wuya. With such a Top-grade Spirit Pill, his wounds imdiately stopped bleeding, flesh regenerated, and the wounds began to heal in no ti.
By the ti they had slain over a hundred Mythical Beasts, it was already the next day’s early morning.
Shen Qinghe and Yan Changsheng collapsed on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
The Abyss was shrouded in a grey fog, the farther areas obscured and out of sight, casting an eerie silence that was unsettling.
Shen Qinghe lay there for a while to calm her racing heart, then got up to ditate.
Because Yan Changsheng was by her side, her Spiritual Energy was abundant, and after ditating, she had returned to normal.
She was covered in bloodstains, and her clothes were tattered. She applied the Purification Technique to herself and went to the side to change into a clean set of Disciple’s Clothing.
When she returned, Yan Changsheng had also changed into a new set of Disciple’s Clothing. However, lacking Spiritual Energy, he was unable to perform the Purification Technique, his black hair was a ss, and his face was stained with blood.
Shen Qinghe paid no mind to Yan Changsheng; she tried to harness the Red Lotus Shield Armor, hoping to use it to leave The Abyss. Despite consuming the Snow Bone Grass, her Cultivation Base did not improve, and so she was still unable to control the Red Lotus Shield Armor.
There was even less hope for Yan Changsheng.
With no Spiritual Energy in his body, he was no different from an ordinary person. But as long as he was by her side, she had a chance of getting out of The Abyss.
She had initially hoped that the Snow Bone Grass would help her to improve her Cultivation Base, but now it seed that her body indeed had the attributes of being useless.
Shen Qinghe did not want to remain among the many Mythical Beast corpses, so she carefully walked ahead, with Yan Changsheng closely following behind her.
In the past, when the two were together, it was always Shen Qinghe who started conversations. But now, Shen Qinghe had nothing to say to Yan Changsheng, and all that was left between them was silence.
Yan Changsheng occasionally stared at Shen Qinghe’s back, finding her both familiar and strange. Reflecting on everything that had happened over the past two years, he knew that the bridge between him and Qinghe could never be nded.
In the past, he felt it didn’t matter if he lost everything as long as he had Nan Sheng. Reality, however, had brutally slapped him in the face.
Because of Nan Sheng, he faced betrayal from every quarter.
Yet, in the mont of life and death, the one protecting him was Qinghe, whom he had deeply hurt.

Hehe, can any little fairy guess where Wuya might be?
