A small lake!

An elderly ancient fierce beast Zhong Zhi!

Two human martial artists, Dao Yu’s parents!

In their battle, there is only life and death, not victory and defeat!

No one expected that this elderly Zhong Zhi would be so vicious and cunning. It had long perceived the arrival of Dao Yu’s parents, knowing that they intended to bathe in the divine rain during its transformation. Under these circumstances, the elderly Zhong Zhi waited a full ten days, making Dao Yu’s parents mistakenly believe it had grown so old that its divine thought perception had vanished, and it would be easy to handle. Only then did it lure Dao Yu’s parents to this small lake!

The small lake was where the elderly Zhong Zhi had long hibernated and resided. With its lifespan dwindling, it could no longer wield its original battle power. However, the elderly Zhong Zhi was not one to wait for death. Long before, it had refined a formation, concealing it within the small lake. Should anyone dare to come, it would activate the formation, trapping and killing the intruders, representing its original combat strength!

It must be said that this elderly Zhong Zhi is both strong and shrewd. When the formation it hid within the small lake was activated, it immediately trapped Dao Yu’s parents inside. No matter how powerful their sword qi was, they couldn’t shatter it. In desperation, Dao Yu’s parents combined their swordsmanship, launching the strongest sword qi to try and break the formation. However, when this mighty sword qi struck the formation, a palm emerged from within, blocking the powerful sword qi, especially as the sword qi gradually weakened!

In a moment of urgency, Dao Yu’s father bit the tip of his tongue, injecting a drop of origin true blood into the waning sword qi, which suddenly flourished, blocking the palm. However, it was merely blocked and not repelled. More importantly, the entire space where Dao Yu’s parents were continued to compress, shrinking everything. If it compressed completely, Dao Yu’s parents would turn to dust. It was an internal spatial pressure, capable of obliterating the void, showing how powerful this elderly Zhong Zhi once was—comparable to its former combat strength, not it actually intervening!

”You can’t kill me, none of you can kill me. You will just become my blood food, letting me live a few days longer!” The elderly Zhong Zhi laughed cruelly.

The space kept compressing, the formation kept closing in. In such circumstances, Dao Yu’s parents were shocked, growing increasingly anxious. They never thought this elderly Zhong Zhi would be so formidable. Even though it was bound by the Golden Cloth Rope, it left behind such a powerful killing array!

”Let me do it!” Dao Yu’s mother gritted her teeth and said.

”No, you’re close to delivery. If you use your origin true blood, it might affect the fetus!” Dao Yu’s father said worriedly.

”We’ve reached this point, there’s no time to care about that. Rather than possibly dying here and taking our child with us, disturbing the fetus is trivial!” Dao Yu’s mother, a woman of character, said decisively.

Swoosh!

Biting the tip of her tongue, Dao Yu’s mother also injected a drop of origin true blood into the sword qi. With her origin true blood, the sword qi instantly burst with astonishing radiance, forcefully driving the palm back, with a sense of shattering the formation!

Buzz!

But just when Dao Yu’s parents felt they had a win, the formation also erupted with radiant light, still blocking the sword qi. A formed hand blocked the powerful sword qi, the sensation of power was unimaginable, indescribable!

”This...” Dao Yu’s father was unbelievably shocked, not daring to believe his eyes. He knew their joint swordsmanship was the most potent slaughter sword skill, unbeaten, which had broken through many formidable formations. This elderly Zhong Zhi was at its last breath; even having left behind such a strong formation, it shouldn’t surpass their combined swordsmanship. It was impossible!

”You’re still too weak. If I weren’t so old, you couldn’t withstand even one move!” The elderly Zhong Zhi said disdainfully.

”Is that so? As you said, you’re old and can’t defeat us. Let me kill you, I don’t want this divine rain!” Dao Yu’s father, furious, wielded a longsword and charged at the elderly Zhong Zhi beneath the lake!

”Ah!”

With a heart-wrenching scream, Dao Yu’s mother suddenly fell from the sky. She was bleeding from below, the blood flowing continuously, and losing the power of qi manipulation flight, she plummeted down. In response, Dao Yu’s father quickly caught her, soaring into the sky!

”What happened?” Dao Yu’s father urgently asked.

”The birth is imminent, our child is about to be born, I just felt the fetal movement!” Dao Yu’s mother gritted her teeth and said.

”This...” Dao Yu’s father was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment!

At such a critical moment, Dao Yu’s mother was about to give birth, an unexpected turn of events. It seemed that the earlier battle with the old Zhong Zhi had already injured her, and using the Origin True Blood to stimulate Sword Qi in an attempt to break the Formation set by the old Zhong Zhi caused a significant disturbance to the fetal movement, leading to the premature birth of the child!

However, the old Zhong Zhi was not yet defeated, and the powerful formation continued to compress. Without Dao Yu’s mother’s assistance, her father’s power alone wasn’t enough to defeat the old Zhong Zhi nor break the formation, wouldn’t that mean certain death?

”Hahahaha, truly heaven aids me, you wish to bathe in my Divine Rain, yet I must first consume your flesh and blood, how pitiful. Not only will you die, but your just-born child will also perish. I will devour him completely, leaving not even bone scraps, and you should thank me, you should be thankful that your child will not feel pain, not even live long enough to glance at this world before being utterly destroyed, soul scattered!” The old Zhong Zhi laughed loudly, roaring, manipulating the formation’s power to compress the space even faster!

Rumble!

Rumble!

In an instant, Dao Yu’s parents were at a disadvantage. Initially, they still had a slim chance, a thread, to break the formation and defeat the old Zhong Zhi. But due to Dao Yu’s mother’s injury and the excessive disturbance caused by using Origin True Blood to stimulate Sword Qi, leading to the early birth of the child in her womb, she could no longer assist, and Dao Yu’s father alone couldn’t withstand the swiftly compressing formation!

Clang!

Puff!

Dao Yu’s father wielded a Longsword, attempting to block the compressing space force, but the Longsword shattered, and he himself was injured by the compressing power, spewing blood wildly from his mouth. He used his hands to try to withstand the invisible compressing space force, yet kept retreating, nearly reaching his wife’s side!

Bang! Bang!

In extreme pain, herself in the midst of childbirth, Dao Yu’s mother felt agonizing pain, but for her child, to survive, her hands slapped against the invisible compressing space force, hoping to stop it, hoping to succeed!

However, the old Zhong Zhi was merciless, the formation he left behind was mighty, and Dao Yu’s parents were already powerless against it. Dao Yu’s mother faced the pains of childbirth, unable to exert full force, and Dao Yu’s father was already injured, seemingly leaving inevitable doom for their family!

”Seems we underestimated this old thing’s power, we are incapable of recovering!” Dao Yu’s father said somewhat despairingly.

”No, it doesn’t matter if we die, the key is for the child to live, he is our most cherished, our only hope, I won’t let my child suffer any harm even if I vanish completely!” Dao Yu’s mother said with extreme determination in her eyes.

But under such circumstances, Dao Yu’s parents had truly exhausted their efforts, really had no strength left. The formation’s space compressed, and the invisible force could crush everything, grinding anything into dust quickly, leaving only a small space for two people!

”Your deaths are inevitable, your greatest mistake was coming here!” The old Zhong Zhi angrily roared.

Puff!

Puff!

Dao Yu’s parents’ bodies were deformed by the invisible pressure, their internal organs severely damaged, their flesh couldn’t withstand the compressive force, instantly drenched in blood. However, Dao Yu’s father persisted bitterly, while Dao Yu’s mother used every ounce of strength to protect her lower body, for her unborn child hadn’t seen the world as she said, even if she vanishes completely, she won’t let her child suffer any harm; she wants her child to live!

”We didn’t expect this, however, being able to die as a family of three together feels comforting!” Dao Yu’s father said, blood flowing from his mouth.

”No, we can die, the child must live... ah!” Dao Yu’s mother said painfully, finally letting out a wretched cry!

Wah, wah, wah... the child’s cries upon birth echoed through the heavens and earth...
