Serpent Ancestor

”Roar!!!”

Xu Hei unleashed his full cultivation power, the terrifying true essence within his demon core forming waves that surged forward, obliterating the flute sound into nothingness.

Behind him, a massive dragon’s phantom appeared, roaring in unison, shaking the heavens and earth.

The oppressive aura from a drop of ancient beast’s bloodline was like child’s play in the face of the dragon’s roar, utterly insignificant!

”How is this possible!?”

Boss Liu exclaimed in shock, suffering a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying, crashing into the wall, his expression filled with terror.

The one-eyed elder, who was about to escape to the exit, had his eyes bulge out, blood streaming from his orifices, letting out a miserable scream as he fell to the ground, even his Divine Sense forcibly shattered, dying instantly!

He was roared to death!

Xu Hei’s Dragon Shatter Roar had unknowingly reached the second level, the soul-shattering realm.

At this moment, the Dragon Shatter Roar not only controlled but also possessed the power to shatter souls.The imprisoned sea beasts erupted in cheers, shouting excitedly, rallying for Xu Hei.

Boqi was so moved that tears flowed, muttering repeatedly, ”Someone’s come to save me, someone’s come to save me... no, a snake’s come to save me.”

The barely alive Hai Meng lifted her head, looking at the tall and imposing figure, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Especially after hearing that deafening dragon roar, her heart trembled violently, time seemingly frozen at this moment.

”How is it him?”

”That sound is... a dragon’s roar?”

In Hai Meng’s heart, there had always been a belief—

Her brother was invincible, destined to become a Flood Dragon, a king of his generation, ruling over all sea creatures, unmatched.

This belief had been ingrained in her since birth, when Hai Teng defeated a Golden Eagle to protect her, and it had stayed with her ever since.

Later, when Hai Teng outshone all others and entered the Penglai Sea, becoming the first Chosen of the Sea Serpent Clan, Hai Meng’s belief only grew stronger.

It was like a brand, etched in her heart.

But ever since Xu Hei appeared, shattering the invincible image of her brother in her mind, her world had collapsed.

Thus, she harbored resentment, wanting to take revenge on Xu Hei, and to restore her brother’s image, she even deceived herself into believing Xu Hei’s victory was unworthy, his methods despicable.

Until the scene before her eyes appeared, completely overturning her beliefs.

Her dreams seemed to return to the moment she was born, when Hai Teng battled a Golden Eagle to protect her, slaying a great demon in the form of a young serpent.

Now, the dream reappeared, only Hai Teng was replaced by Xu Hei.

”Friend, let’s talk this out, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

Boss Liu’s expression changed drastically. When his Sea Demon Flute failed, he knew this snake was not something he could contend with.

Xu Hei’s gaze was icy as he said, ”I know it’s a misunderstanding. I only have a grudge with the Whale Hunting Gang, it has nothing to do with you, now get lost!”

”Yes!”

Boss Liu quickly cupped his fists and turned to flee.

But just as he turned around.

Xu Hei opened his mouth, shooting a poisonous arrow that turned into a purple streak, piercing towards Boss Liu’s back.

Boss Liu clearly didn’t expect a demonic beast to use deceit. But as he turned, he also produced a handful of throwing knives, flicking his wrist to release them, the knives shooting towards the sea beasts in the water tanks.

Both acted almost simultaneously, without delay!

This man was extremely cunning and clever, suspecting that Xu Hei had infiltrated to rescue these sea beasts.

Thus, he had a plan, attacking the sea beasts as he turned, forcing Xu Hei to save them, giving him a chance to escape, all in one go.

But he miscalculated, Xu Hei had no intention of letting him go, and seized the moment he turned to take his life!

”Friend, it’s a misunderstanding!”

”Too late!”

Boss Liu let out a wretched scream, Xu Hei’s gaze icy cold, as a black phantom flew from his body, also using Ever-changing Fish and Dragon, intercepting all the flying knives.

It was Ji Ying, the Corpse Beetle!

”Thud!”

The purple poison arrow pierced Boss Liu’s back, the light of the magical treasure on him flickering, trying to resist, but Xu Hei’s venom, derived from sea serpent poison and enhanced with heavy oil, was not something a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator could withstand.

In an instant, Boss Liu’s back melted away, leaving a large hole, his body turning pitch black, blood streaming from his orifices, spewing black blood.

He had already reached the exit, collapsing at the doorway.

”Boss Liu!”

Outside, cries of shock rang out, all the crew members staring wide-eyed, filled with disbelief.

From the moment they received the enemy attack signal to rushing to support, it had only been a few breaths of time, how had they all died?

The bald man was dead, the one-eyed elder was dead, even their major patron Boss Liu was dead.

Such a horrifying scene before them was like a bolt from the blue, leaving them stunned, at a loss for what to do.

”Quick! Run!”

”Go call the boss!”

”Boss Liu is dead too, something big has happened!”

The crew scattered in panic, Xu Hei glanced around, seeing two at the early Core Formation stage, the rest at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he instructed Ji Ying, ”Kill, leave no one alive!”

Ji Ying let out excited cries, she hadn’t been out for a walk in a long time, trapped in the Black Dragon Sword for three months, and now, just as she appeared, her annoying master had sent her to block knives, which had filled her with resentment.

Now, her master was finally doing something right, letting her have a feast, and that was the happiest thing.

”Buzz!”

Ji Ying’s form flickered continuously, rushing out of the cabin, charging into the crowd, her sharp mandibles like sawteeth, instantly devouring a person’s head.

Then, she burrowed into another’s ear, and the person fell to the ground without warning, eyes bulging, dying in convulsions.

…………

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Hei sent out the Blood Killing Sword, cutting through the seals on the water tanks, dismantling all the chains.

At the same time, he released healing pills, handing them to Boqi, instructing her to take them.

”Thank you, thank you!”

Boqi repeatedly expressed her gratitude, taking the pills and quickly refining them to heal her injuries.

Hai Meng, also severely injured, glanced with envy but said nothing, only bowing her head and saying, ”Thank you!”

Xu Hei originally intended to kill her, but hesitated for a moment and refrained.

He already had enough enemies, adding the Sea Serpent Clan was unnecessary, and besides, the Whale Hunting Gang needed an opponent to restrain them.

”I didn’t plan to save you, get lost and don’t appear before me again!”

Xu Hei coldly left a remark, collecting the corpses of the group, along with their storage bags.

Boss Liu, in addition to a storage bag, surprisingly had a storage ring, with a layer of golden Restriction on it. Xu Hei touched it, recoiling as if electrocuted, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

”I can’t take this storage ring!” Xu Hei thought to himself.

The owner of this golden Restriction must have reached the Elemental Infant stage, and not an ordinary one. Xu Hei didn’t want to be hunted down again.
