Chapter 144: Despair After Hope
The person who came was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Shen family, Shen Cong.
Shen Cong is a veritable pinnacle of Jindan, and he has been hovering at the boundary of breakthrough for a hundred years.
Originally, he was supposed to be in retreat at this time to impact the boundaries of the Yuan Infant Stage, but the central god of the underworld was suddenly strongly pulled and felt that the disaster of destruction was imminent.
He hurriedly broke out of the barrier in a panic, and he didn't want to be a step slower, so he could only look at the corpses of Shen Kangwen and the elders and smile bitterly.
"Are you their Supreme Elder? That should be the strongest person in the Shen family. ”
Shen Cong's background can't escape Zhang Fan's eyes, the peak of Jindan, and he is half a step away from being a strong man in the Yuan infant stage.
Since they want to destroy the Shen family, they will be convinced to die.
"If you want to take action to protect the Shen family, then let me see what you are capable of. ”
Zhang Fan's words fell, and his figure suddenly appeared behind Shen Cong with the wind.
Shen Cong sighed, he didn't want to make a big move, but seeing Zhang Fan's bad spirit, he knew that the Shen family had offended him a lot, and he had to fight to settle the grievances.
Attacking without hurry or slow, Shen Cong fought steadily, without a trace of excess momentum on his body, which made people feel like an ordinary old man.
However, only Zhang Fan, who is in the battle situation and whose eyes are brighter and brighter, can realize how deep the foundation is hidden under Shen Cong's airtight defense.
It's been a long time since I've found someone to fight heartily, and now I can't let go of such a calm and weathered strong man.
He let out a long roar, and his figure became faster and faster, in the eyes of the Shen family disciples, it was like a black shadow rushing up and down, and their Supreme Elder also turned into a gray shadow and made a move.
Gradually, the speed of the two of them increased further, and the disciples of the Shen family were completely shocked to the point of numbness.
There was a whole realm difference, and their eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the two powerhouses at all, and they could only pin all their hopes on Elder Taishang at this point.
Looking back at the battle, Shen Cong's attack was extremely measured, even if Zhang Fan attacked fiercely, he was like an inclusive deep sea, no more, no less, no more feedback back to the same strength of the offensive.
And while fighting, he deliberately led Zhang Fan to the back mountain, not wanting the aftermath of the battle between the two to affect the devastated Shen family.
As long as Zhang Fan fights happily, he doesn't care about Shen Cong's careful thoughts.
After testing the ** hand, the two of them looked as usual, and they couldn't tell who was strong and who was weak.
However, if you look closely, you can find that the big war is over, Shen Cong's mentality is old, and he has no intention of being competitive, he has repeatedly retreated, and his hands have begun to tremble unconsciously.
The old face was bitter, and Shen Cong also knew that he couldn't help Zhang Fan, whose strength was bottomless.
He said helplessly: "Xiaoyou, if it is because of the Shen family's offense that you are so angry, then you should be angry after killing so many people." ”
"I just want to keep the Shen family, there is no grudge between you and me, why bother to kill them all?"
Facing a rare smart person like Shen Cong, Zhang Fan smiled faintly and put away his sharp posture.
"Because I said before, if you want to destroy the Shen family, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to stop so easily. ”
Hearing this, Shen Cong's body trembled, and a look of pain crossed his eyes.
"Is there really no room for manoeuvre?"
"The old decay has been hovering between Jindan and Yuanying for many years, but he can't let go of the family, if he can't keep the remaining roots and seedlings, the old decay is destined to not advance an inch in this life. ”
Zhang Fan didn't look at him, and turned around with his hands.
"Whether you can break through or not has nothing to do with me. ”
"But if you can hand over the Shen family's exercises and treasury, there must be something I am interested in in it, maybe depending on the mood, you can let the rest of the Shen family go. ”
The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
Zhang Fan's words undoubtedly pointed out a clear path for Shen Cong.
Since he can't help Zhang Fan in a big war, he can only give up some things in exchange for the survival of the rest of the family.
Shen Cong agreed without thinking about it, "Okay, old man, I'll take you to where the Shen family's treasure house is." ”
On the playground in front of the Shen family's hall, the remaining Shen family disciples were still cautious, waiting for the results to come out.
Seeing that everyone was in a slump, and the atmosphere was filled with gloomy clouds and mist in the field, some people couldn't help but cheer up.
"That's the Supreme Elder at the peak of Jindan, a half-step Yuan Infant, how could Zhang Fan be his opponent!"
"Wait, Zhang Fan will soon be repaired by Elder Taishang and thrown out like a dead dog!"
These words were like a shot in the arm, causing the Shen family disciples to find hope again, and they became more and more convinced that Elder Taishang was their savior.
As for Zhang Fan, an ignorant fanatic, he dared to shout to destroy the Shen family, and the Supreme Elder still didn't beat him.
At this time, a figure came from far and near, everyone's hearts tightened, and they looked fixedly, and sure enough, it was the unharmed Supreme Elder!
They hugged each other excitedly, and said to Shen Cong, who had no frame and was as kind as an ordinary old man:
"Elder Taishang, what about Zhang Fanren, was he killed by you?!"
"Let's just say that Elder Taishang, you personally come out, Zhang Fan is a fart! Long live Elder Taishang! Led by your old man, the Shen family will definitely be able to regain its prestige!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as their smug words came out, Shen Cong's expression changed, and at the same time, his eyes tried his best to dissuade them from saying things that they shouldn't say.
The disciples of the Shen family were still immersed in the happiness of surviving after the catastrophe, and they had no eyesight to see, and continued to talk about it, simply roasting Shen Cong on the fire.
Feeling the gaze of an ancient well sweeping behind him, Shen Cong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he could no longer let the Shen family's disciples die.
As soon as the momentum was released, everyone around him was silent, looking at the incomprehensible faces, Shen Cong lowered his head bitterly.
"I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Shen family, in the end, my strength is not good, and I lost to Zhang Fan. ”
"The Shen family has this catastrophe, it is fate, in order to preserve the family inheritance, I decided to offer my Shen family's exercises and treasury to Zhang Fan, and you must not object. ”
As soon as Shen Cong's words came out, all the Shen family disciples stiffened.
As great as there is hope, there is a shadow of despair in this moment.
They were still cheering for Elder Taishang's victory just now, and they were so elated that they barely beat the gongs and drums to announce their victory, but in the blink of an eye, they fell into the abyss.
Suddenly, all the disciples of the Shen family looked like ashes, their expressions were depressed, and they no longer had the same vigor as before.
As soon as Zhang Fan appeared, they hid aside in fear, not daring to meet his gaze, trembling all over.
Looking at the disciple of the Shen family who had been hit by such a huge blow, Shen Cong didn't feel good in his heart.
Sighing with a wry smile, he continued to take the lead in leading Zhang Fan to the Shen family's treasure house.
I never thought that one day, he, the Supreme Elder of the Shen Family, would personally offer the Shen Family's exercises and treasures to the enemies who came to attack.
Shen Cong's mood was complicated, Zhang Fan didn't bother to pay attention to it, as soon as the treasure house opened, he Shi Shiran walked in, and casually picked a few eye-catching things and put them away.
