Serpent Ancestor

”What kind of power is this?” Xie Yunfei’s pupils contracted.

”Roar!!!”

Bai Qiushui let out a roar like a demon god and punched the ground again.

In an instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked. The entire island shook as if it were about to be overturned. Cultivators were sent flying into the sky, their physical bodies shattering. A series of corpses exploded like firecrackers, leaving a vast area of death.

”Pop pop pop pop pop...”

The scene was terrifying. Under the absolute crushing force, the members of the Wolf Fang Gang were like ants being blown away by the energy, unable to resist, their bodies exploding into pieces!

One punch, killing hundreds!

Looking ahead, a large area was empty, cleared with just a palm and a punch.

The leader of the Wolf Fang Gang and Xie Yunfei both looked as if they had seen a ghost.

”Is this really the disciple of the Old Master?” The leader of the Wolf Fang Gang was incredulous.

Xie Yunfei was also dumbfounded.

They had only heard of the Old Master of Penglai Island, never seen him. His disciples were mostly scholars well-versed in the books of sages, cultivating righteous energy, all orthodox Confucian cultivators.

They had never seen such a strange physical cultivator!

Lin Ziye also showed a look of surprise, exclaiming, ”So strong! This is the true teaching of the Old Master!”

The Old Master traveled the world, with over three thousand students like Xu Qingfeng and Lin Ziye, all inheriting the same teachings! Righteous energy, using the power of words to confront enemies!

He had never seen a student like Bai Qiushui.

”Junior Brother Bai, what does ’Confucius does not speak of strange powers and chaotic spirits’ really mean?” Lin Ziye realized that the truths the Old Master usually taught him seemed different from what he taught Bai Qiushui.

Bai Qiushui didn’t speak, just took out an annotation that read: ”The Old Master doesn’t speak, he uses strange power to beat people into a stupor.”

”...” Lin Ziye was silent.

Xie Yunfei’s eyes flickered as he threw a black thunderbolt, which exploded in mid-air, forming a thick fog that blocked the sky and obscured vision.

Bai Qiushui said nothing, swinging another punch.

”Boom!!!”

The fist instantly extended dozens of feet, like a meteor, clearing all the fog and smashing towards Xie Yunfei, hitting his back.

”Poof!!”

Xie Yunfei felt like he was struck by a mountain, blood spraying from his nose and ears, his brain almost scrambled. He flew in a parabolic arc, crashing heavily to the ground, eyes vacant, limbs twitching, his mind blank.

He was directly beaten into a stupor.

”Help... help me...”

He looked towards the backyard, where a powerful divine sense seemed to be descending at terrifying speed.

...

On the other side.

”Soul Burning Lamp! Dragon Shatter Roar!”

Xu Hei summoned the Soul Burning Lamp, its illusory flames surging, illuminating the world. When the sword of divine sense approached, it was first burned away, then shattered by the impact of the Dragon Shatter Roar.

Xu Hei exhaled a breath of turbid air, amazed, ”Such a strong divine sense attack!”

Fortunately, he had prepared the Soul Burning Lamp in advance and had encountered ghost cultivators in simulated battles, knowing how to deal with them. Otherwise, facing such a pure divine sense attack, Xu Hei would have suffered greatly.

Even so, Xu Hei was still being suppressed, unable to locate the opponent, his skills rendered useless.

However, the opponent’s attacks grew stronger each time. Even with the dual defenses of the Soul Burning Lamp and Dragon Shatter Roar, it wouldn’t hold for long.

At this moment, the divine sense reappeared ahead, converging into a vast lake, surging forward.

Just a glance made Xu Hei’s scalp tingle; this was not something he could withstand!

”Boom!!”

Just then, a violent tremor erupted from the front yard, accompanied by shrill screams and demon god-like roars, echoing in Xu Hei’s mind.

Xu Hei immediately looked back.

Before long, another tremor sounded, followed by a blood-soaked figure flying from afar, landing not far away.

Xu Hei focused his gaze and saw it was Xie Yunfei, beaten to such a state, his body a bloody mess, bones nearly shattered.

”Those two have such strong power!”

Xu Hei was secretly amazed. Xie Yunfei had once escaped from him unscathed, but now, even with the Wolf Fang Gang’s help, he was beaten so badly.

The lake formed by the divine sense did not continue to attack but quickly converged into a humanoid figure, entirely illusory, with only a pair of pitch-black pupils visible.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Hei quickly retreated, moving thousands of feet away. He also saw the giant Bai Qiushui and Lin Ziye.

However, Xu Hei continued to lurk underground.

Apart from the powerful divine sense that could see him, no one else noticed him.

”Hmph, I didn’t expect there to be a big fish.” Lin Ziye’s expression was heavy.

Bai Qiushui remained silent, just holding the Old Master’s sayings tightly in his hand.

”This is... the aura of the Ghost-backed Old Man, no wonder you’re so fearless! But I’m curious, how did you find this place?” The illusory figure said coldly.

The person wasn’t too concerned about Xu Hei, who had inadvertently entered the place. The only worry was the two in front of him.

Especially the muscle-bound one on the right, who had the aura of the Ghost-backed Old Man.

He was skilled in divine sense techniques, with strange and unpredictable abilities, but he was somewhat apprehensive of the old man’s brute force that could break through all methods.

”We accepted a sect mission to secretly investigate the Wolf Fang Gang’s collusion with the evil faction. As for how we discovered it, take a guess!” Lin Ziye sneered.

Their real purpose wasn’t to capture Xie Yunfei.

Capturing Xie Yunfei was just a ruse to avoid attention; their true goal was to investigate the evil faction behind the scenes.

The southeastern sea had seen a large number of stillbirth incidents, with half of the biological population gone, which caught the attention of both the Penglai Sea and Penglai Island.

The difference was, the Penglai Sea had already lost three investigators, prompting them to send elites.

Penglai Island, however, sent elites like Bai Qiushui and Lin Ziye from the start.

Yet, these two didn’t have Elemental Infant cultivation, only relying on the Old Master’s treasures to temporarily possess power comparable to the Elemental Infant stage.

”Were you behind the death incidents in the southeastern sea? Who are you, and why are you doing this?”

Bai Qiushui’s voice was fierce and menacing, like a demon god from hell.

The illusory figure merely chuckled coldly, ”Let the Old Master come! Although I’m just an avatar, you’re not qualified to face me!”

”Not talking?”

Bai Qiushui’s gaze was icy, killing intent overwhelming, ”A man’s words are kind when he’s about to die!”

The sayings in his hand emitted a golden light, enhancing his expanding body, making it swell even more, his pants tearing apart, the half-formed ”Virtue” character on his back fully forming.

Beat a person to the brink of death, and their words become pleasant!

At the moment the ”Virtue” character formed, Bai Qiushui’s power finally broke through a bottleneck, reaching a new level, his muscles turning a pale gold, emitting starlight.
