Chapter 20

Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake

“What?”

Hearing this, the city lord, Shen Chuanhai, was the first to stand up.

“What exactly is going on? Tell me clearly!”

The person seemed to be a little frightened by Shen Chuanhai’s aura, but he still braced himself and replied,

“City Lord, I don’t know what’s going on either. I only know that hundreds of demon beasts suddenly came, and there are three Level 2 demon beasts.”

“What?”

Shen Chuanhai’s expression immediately changed drastically.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan also looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Three Level 2 demon beasts suddenly attacked Canyon City with hundreds of Level 1 demon beasts. There was clearly something unusual going on.

“Elders…”

At this moment, Shen Chuanhai turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. He hesitated for a moment before saying,

“The situation is urgent now. I wonder if the two of you can come with us to check the situation together?

If anything happens, I’m afraid I’ll need your help.”

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not waste a second.

They knew very well that once those demon beasts really started attacking Canyon City, the two of them might not be in any fatal danger.

However, the hundreds of thousands of mortals in Canyon City and the Qi Refinement cultivators among them could hardly survive.

This was obviously a loss the Shen Immortal family could not accept.

Therefore, not long after, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Shen Chuanhai, and the others appeared on the city wall of Canyon City.

Fortunately, the cultivators here reacted quickly.

When they sensed that danger was approaching, they immediately activated the Level 2 defensive array in the city.

The person in charge of the array was a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator called Ge Qingyang.

Other than the City Lord, Shen Chuanhai, he was the only cultivator who had perfected the Qi Refinement realm.

However, at this moment, he did not seem to be in a good state.

Not only was his face pale, but the True Essence in his body was also dissipating, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, this ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator was already seriously injured.

“Brother Ge, how are you? Are you alright?”

Seeing this, Shen Chuanhai immediately asked with concern.

At the same time, he took over the job of maintaining the array from Ge Qingyang.

Ge Qingyang quickly took out a medicinal pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

After a while, he forced a smile.

“I’m fine for now.

However, the situation in Canyon City is really not optimistic.”

As he spoke, he looked out of the city.

At this moment, outside Canyon City, hundreds of Level 1 demon beasts were crazily attacking the defensive array, causing it to array halo flicker.

Behind these Level 1 demon beasts stood three demon beasts with scorpion heads and snake bodies.

Each of them was about five to six meters long.

Its upper body was covered in a metal-like shell, and two pairs of huge red pincers opened and closed, emitting a sound like metal plates rubbing against each other.

The snake body on its lower body kept squirming back and forth.

As the huge tail swept across, it created a huge crack in the ground.

It was the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake!

“Roar!”

Suddenly, the three Level 2 Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes roared impatiently.

They suddenly flew into the air in unison and attacked Canyon City.

In an instant, balls of fire with scorching heat immediately shot out of their huge pincers.

When it landed on the Level 2 defensive array, ripples immediately spread out on the surface of the array.

Shen Chuanhai, who was in charge of sustaining the array, immediately turned pale.

This kind of attack from the Foundation Establishment Realm was still too much of a burden for him.

Moreover, it was not just one snack attacking, but three.

Coupled with the attacks of the other Level 1 demon beasts, Shen Chuanhai couldn’t hold on much longer. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

“Elder Jiang, stay here and watch. I’ll go out and play with them.”

At this moment, Shen Ruyan turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Alright, then Elder Ruyan, be careful. If you can’t fight them alone, don’t force yourself.”

“Ok.”

Shen Ruyan nodded. Then, she turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly left the defensive array of Canyon City.

Before the demon beasts outside could react, a rumbling thunder suddenly sounded in the air.

Immediately after, silver-white lightning struck down.

Dozens of the Level 1 demon beasts that were attacking Canyon City crazily were instantly charred.

Dozens of demon beasts were seriously injured.

In their panic, they actually started to run around, causing the entire demon beast group to fall into chaos.

Shen Ruyan did not waste time on these lowly creatures. In a flash, she was already in front of the three Level 2 Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes.

Buzz!

She pointed with her fair hand.

A seal flickering with silver lightning suddenly appeared on the heads of the three Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes.

It was Shen Ruyan’s mid-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact, the Lightning Strike Seal!

Rumble!

The three Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes were dazzled by bright light.

Then, a terrifying thunderclap sounded in their ears.

Three dazzling lightning bolts landed on them.

In an instant, angry and painful roars shook the earth.

One of the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes was charred.

The hard carapace and the scales on the snake’s body turned to charcoal.

On the other hand, the other two Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes didn’t seem to have suffered that much from the lightning bolt.

It only charred a little bit of their skins.

At this moment.

Among the three Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes, the largest one flashed, and with a deafening cry, it arrived in front of Shen Ruyan!

Shen Ruyan obviously did not expect this Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake to be able to attack in such a short time after taking the blow of the Lightning Strike Seal head-on. She was immediately shocked.

Fortunately, her reaction was not slow.

A triangular shield instantly appeared in front of her.

It was a mid-grade Level 2 defensive artifact she carried with her. It was called the Three Elements Spiritual Shield.

A red, yellow, and blue spiritual light instantly appeared.

With a bang, the shield shook violently.

However, in the end, it blocked the snake tail attack of the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake.

However, before Shen Ruyan could heave a sigh of relief

On the other side, the other Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake that was slightly injured breathed a ball of ferocious flame towards Shen Ruyan from behind!
