Serpent Ancestor

Blood Vengeance hid his intentions well, showing no hint of hostility. However, his two companions couldn’t conceal their murderous intent, which Xu Hei saw through at a glance.

Sometimes, a foolish teammate is all it takes. But even without them, Xu Hei would still be wary of this person.

Xu Hei considered whether to teach this group a lesson in advance, to prevent them from causing trouble during his escape and creating unforeseen complications.

He didn’t want to deal with the Nightmare Demon Lord and this bunch of nuisances at the same time.

As Xu Hei’s eyes flickered with thought, he immediately took out a lamp, placed it on the ground, and lit it. It was the Seven Star Lamp he had found in Ma Fugui’s storage bag.

Then, he took out the Minor Annihilation Talisman, held it in his palm, and walked directly towards Blood Vengeance and his group.

This put Blood Vengeance and his men on high alert, and they all summoned their magical treasures.

”What do you think you’re doing?” Meng Hao glared and asked.

”Nothing much, just taking a stroll. Is that not allowed?” Xu Hei replied nonchalantly.

Meng Hao’s face turned dark.A stroll? With a Seven Star Lamp and a Minor Annihilation Talisman, it was clearly a stance of going all out. Who would believe such nonsense?

However, Xu Hei didn’t continue forward. He sat on the ground and muttered to himself, ”Sorry, I’ve been heavily polluted lately. My hands are a bit shaky, and my brain isn’t working well. You’d better stay away from me, lest I accidentally set this thing off. No responsibility taken.”

After speaking, Xu Hei opened his skull, revealing it to be empty, without a brain. His hand holding the talisman shook violently.

This scared everyone, making Blood Vengeance and his companions’ faces twitch.

They realized that Xu Hei was a madman. Who knew when he might go crazy? They immediately dismissed the idea of making a move and decided to discuss it after returning.

”Back to the ship, return trip!” Meng Hao gritted his teeth and ordered.

”Yes!”

Numerous stewards soared into the air, heading towards the sea surface, not wanting to linger for even a second.

Being with such a madman was sheer torture.

Blood Vengeance and his group also shot into the sky, leaving the light barrier and fleeing upwards.

Seeing everyone distancing themselves from him, Xu Hei smirked coldly. This was all part of the plan.

Finally, Xu Hei picked up the Seven Star Lamp and left the area.

The moment he broke through the light barrier, there was still no sense of being watched. Xu Hei realized that his plan to shed his skin like a cicada had succeeded, and the Nightmare Demon Lord could no longer track him.

Xu Hei turned to look at the seabed behind him and was taken aback.

He suddenly had a feeling that the shape of the Sea Eye’s bottom resembled the indentation of a fist.

The mountainous terrain, with its uneven contours, seemed as if it had been punched out by someone.

Xu Hei shook his head abruptly. Punched out by a fist? How could that be possible? This Sea Eye must have formed in ancient times, and its contours couldn’t have been preserved until now.

…………

On the way back, everyone remained silent.

All voluntarily distanced themselves from Xu Hei, as he was indeed heavily polluted. Whether he was pretending or not, no one wanted to take the risk.

Only Lin Ziye stayed somewhat close to Xu Hei.

”I thought you would make a move directly,” Lin Ziye said with a smile.

”I’m not that stupid,” Xu Hei replied.

”What a pity, missing out on a good show,” Lin Ziye sighed.

Xu Hei was speechless. Did this guy wish for his death?

An hour later, everyone returned to the oil ship from the seabed.

The heavy oil on the ship had been organized by the slaves and neatly placed in the hold.

Next, they would transport the heavy oil to the designated location.

Xu Hei held the Seven Star Lamp, looking at the Sea Eye below and his position, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.

The butcher was at the bow, and his true self was at the stern. As soon as they left the Sea Eye’s range, it would be time for him to act.

”Set sail!”

At Meng Hao’s command, fifteen oil ships moved in unison, heading forward.

”Whoosh!”

Suddenly, one oil ship accelerated, moving ten times faster than the others, transforming into a long rainbow, speeding towards the northwest like lightning, with the momentum of thunder!

It didn’t resemble an oil ship at all, more like an arrow, faster than an Elemental Infant stage cultivator, creating towering waves as it moved.

Everyone was stunned, including Xu Hei, except Meng Hao, who was the first to react and was about to take action.

”Boom!!!”

Suddenly, a massive shadow fell on the oil ship ahead, turning the sea surface pitch black, sinking down like a giant mouth swallowing the heavens and earth, engulfing the ship into an endless abyss, plunging into the deep sea.

Xu Hei stood there in a daze, dumbfounded.

He was just about to act, and someone else had already fled?

The owner of that ship was none other than Lin Ziye.

The direction he fled was precisely the direction Xu Hei’s true self had planned to go.

”Hmph! Someone tried to escape, and I caught them on the spot. Nightmare Demon Lord, you owe me a favor.”

At this moment, a voice like that of a deep-sea demon echoed from beneath the sea, ringing in everyone’s ears. It was the mysterious demon lord guarding the Sea Eye.

He had been lying in ambush nearby all along!

This sudden change immediately disrupted Xu Hei’s plan, and countless thoughts flashed through Xu Hei’s mind as he pondered his next move.

His original plan was for the butcher to head southeast and his true self to go northwest, but Lin Ziye had beaten him to it, running straight into someone else’s face and getting captured by the demon lord.

Should he still escape?

”Wait, Lin Ziye…” Xu Hei’s pupils contracted.

Lin Ziye had arrived three days before him, but in reality, Xu Hei had been captured for a month.

This person appeared neither too early nor too late, just after he was captured, and fled before him. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Could it be that Lin Ziye came specifically for him?

Xu Hei didn’t believe he had such connections that someone would send someone to rescue him. It didn’t make sense emotionally or logically.

So what exactly was going on? Xu Hei was completely bewildered.

…………

At this moment, on another oil ship.

Bai Qiushui, dressed in coarse clothes, looked at the booklet in his hand, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

”If words have power, then it is now!”

Bai Qiushui sank his energy into his dantian, his expression solemn, and shouted, ”To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening!”

”Clap, clap, clap…”

In an instant, golden light radiated from Bai Qiushui’s body, and a surge of righteous energy emerged. His muscles grew wildly, his stature rose, and the coarse clothes on his body were torn apart by his massive muscles!

”Bang!!”

In the blink of an eye, Bai Qiushui transformed into a muscular giant, standing two zhang tall, as big as a bull, like a giant.

The restriction seals within his body were like his clothes, instantly shattered by his muscles.

”You…”

The steward on the oil ship widened his eyes, about to summon his magical treasure, but in the next second, a heavy iron fist slammed into his face, too fast to defend against.

”Boom!!!”

The man spat blood, his mouthful of teeth shattered, flying backward, spinning 3600 degrees in the air. As a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, his head was blown apart with a single punch! Instant death!

Xu Hei heard the commotion over there and looked over, stunned.

”Ugh ah ah!!”

Bai Qiushui roared to the sky, pounding his chest with his fists, striding like a giant of immense strength, crashing into the oil ship’s defensive formation. With a punch, he shattered the entire ship’s formation into pieces.

Xu Hei stared at Bai Qiushui’s bizarre body, frowning, ”Is this what the Diamond Suppression Technique looks like?”

Meanwhile, from the distant dark sea surface came a thunderous laugh.

”Hahaha! Sea God Sect’s petty scoundrels, Old Master is here. Surrender at once!”

The laughter was like thunder, exploding in the void, stirring up towering waves, shaking the heavens.
