Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Shen Yunxi sneered inwardly, "Ancient Demon God?"

"Is this some old, wicked cultivator playing tricks here?" she thought, observing the old man discreetly while secretly tightening her grip on the Heavenly Profound Sword.

"Young lady, if you help me break the seal, I will impart all my cultivation to you, allowing you to ascend to the heavens in one step! And all the countless rare treasures in this world will also be yours!" The old man stretched out his withered finger, pointing to the black crystal ball on the altar, as if it were some kind of priceless treasure.

Shen Yunxi scoffed, "Old man, stop trying to fool people! You think you can believe anything you say? Pigs can fly!"

The old man's face darkened, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes: "You won't listen to reason, so don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the black crystal ball on the altar burst out with a blinding light, and countless black beams shot towards Shen Yunxi like venomous snakes.

The moment the black beams of light struck, Shen Yunxi was already prepared. With a flick of her wrist, the Heavenly Profound Sword was drawn, its blade gleaming coldly, seemingly capable of freezing the air. She moved with lightning speed, weaving and shifting within the confined space. Sword light flashed, sword energy surged forth like a storm, shattering the incoming black beams one by one. At the same time, she swiftly channeled her spiritual power, which surged forth like a tidal wave, rapidly forming a sturdy defensive barrier around her, shimmering with a faint golden light, firmly blocking the old man's subsequent attacks.

"A mere trick!" The old man scoffed disdainfully, and a black longsword suddenly appeared in his hand. The blade was shrouded in thick black energy, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The Heavenly Profound Sword clashed fiercely with the black longsword, producing a deafening clang and sparks flying. The two figures moved with lightning speed, their swordplay weaving into a dense, dazzling network. After dozens of rounds, Shen Yunxi gradually began to feel the strain. Although this old man looked frail, his strength was not to be underestimated, and Shen Yunxi dared not let her guard down.

"Young lady, your strength is indeed impressive, but what a pity..." the old man said sinisterly as he attacked, "You have two children waiting for you outside. Are you sure you want to waste your time here?"

Mentioning her child, Shen Yunxi's heart tightened, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes. Damn it, this old man actually used her child to threaten her!

Seeing the strange look on her face, the old man was secretly pleased and continued, "As long as you behave and help me break the seal, I promise I won't harm your child. Otherwise..."

The black longsword in his hand churned with dark energy, like a viscous ink writhing on its blade, exuding a chillingly malevolent aura. The tip of the blade was pointed directly at Shen Yunxi's fair neck, as if it would pierce her delicate skin and take her life at any moment.

Shen Yunxi took a deep breath, suppressing her worry. She stared coldly at the old man and said, "Old man, do you think I'll be threatened by you? My child isn't so easy to deal with!"

Just then, two clear children's voices suddenly came from outside the cave: "Mommy, we're here to help you!"

Immediately afterward, two figures rushed into the cave; it was Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu. Riding their Swift Snow Wolves, they charged menacingly towards the old man.

"You're asking for death!" the old man roared, brandishing his black longsword and slashing at the two children.

Shen Yunxi's expression changed drastically; she hadn't expected the two children to rush in at this moment.

This old man is incredibly powerful; the two children are no match for him!
