Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Chapter 263 Demons Again

The once vibrant ancient trees are now withered and charred, as if they have been burned by a raging fire, leaving only twisted branches and charred bark.

Scattered on the ground were numerous remains of soul beasts, their white bones exposed to the air, which was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

Several crows circled in mid-air, cawing shrilly, staring greedily at her, as if anticipating the next feast.

"help me…"

Just then, from deep within the woods came a faint cry for help. The sound was so thin and intermittent that it seemed as if it would disappear into the wind at any moment.

Shen Yunxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy lying beside an ancient tree root, his clothes tattered, as if he had been torn apart by a wild beast, revealing bloody and mangled wounds underneath.

His face was swollen and covered in blood, making it almost unrecognizable.

One could vaguely make out a delicate begonia flower embroidered on the collar of the boy's clothes, which was the mark of the Shen family disciples.

Shen Yunxi's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition surged into her mind—a disciple of the Shen family!

The man's eyes, which had been dull and filled with despair, suddenly lit up with hope the moment he saw Shen Yunxi. He struggled to raise his blood-stained hand, as if grasping at a last straw, and reached it toward Shen Yunxi. His hoarse voice was filled with helplessness and expectation: "Miss, save me!"

As soon as Shen Yunxi took a step, a powerful force, like an invisible giant hand, instantly imprisoned her in place, rendering her unable to move.

This power was not ordinary soul power, but an aura full of aggression and destruction, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

The surrounding space seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with a strong demonic aura, a darkness as thick as ink that could not be dissolved, exuding a chilling killing intent.

This demonic energy surged into the sky, forming a massive black domain that trapped her within this space, like a prison.

Shen Yunxi felt a chill run down her spine, a coldness shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Could it be that demon she encountered last time?

She was extremely anxious and only wanted to pull the Shen family disciple back from the brink of death as soon as possible.

He looked up, his eyes clear, filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, and reached out to Shen Yunxi as if he had grasped a lifeline.

Just as Shen Yunxi approached, a sharp sword intent, like a venomous snake, silently attacked.

Shen Yunxi instinctively raised her arm to block, but the sword intent unexpectedly shifted and slashed straight at the Shen family disciple.

Warm blood splattered onto Shen Yunxi's face, and the sweet, metallic smell made her stomach churn.

The boy, who had been reaching out to her for help just a second ago, had his head roll to her feet the next second, his eyes wide open in death.

Hope and despair alternated on the boy's face, eventually settling into a deathly stillness.

Anger burned fiercely in Shen Yunxi's chest. She wiped the blood off her face and her eyes, sharp as knives, swept over the dozens of men in black who emerged from the shadows.

They were surrounded by a thick demonic aura, like evil spirits from hell, emanating a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble.

"Demons!" Shen Yunxi gritted her teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

She gripped the Heavenly Profound Sword tightly, its blade humming as if responding to the anger in her heart.

Before Shen Yunxi could make a move, a domineering pressure descended from the sky, pressing her to the ground like Mount Tai crashing down.
