Serpent Ancestor

In that instant, countless limbs flew out from within the Ghost Infant’s body, exploding in mid-air and blocking the spell of pure energy.

Simultaneously, he shot up into the sky, arriving at the backyard and inhaling deeply.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

Suddenly, the female cultivators imprisoned in the backyard snapped their eyes open, and one by one, their ethereal spirits flew out from the tops of their heads, soaring into the sky, only to be devoured by the Ghost Infant’s grotesque mouth.

These women had been imprisoned for years, serving as soul-providing machines, accumulating a vast amount of resentment, even more than those young children!

Originally, he was reluctant to sacrifice this group of women, as they could continuously provide benefits.

But now, to quickly kill these three people, he had no choice but to sacrifice a portion of them.

”Not good, stop him quickly!”

Lin Ziye’s expression changed as he rushed to the backyard, drawing his bow and arrow to shoot at the Ghost Infant, but the arrow was turned to ash by the concentrated resentment.

Bai Qiushui was even more entangled by the resentment, his body stained red.

”Such strong resentment, we can’t let him absorb any more!” Xu Hei’s face was grim.

The imprisoned women, each filled with overwhelming resentment, would strengthen the Ghost Infant with each soul absorbed, serving as the best nourishment.

In just two breaths, the Ghost Infant’s aura had surged by at least thirty percent.

Xu Hei soared into the air, unleashing a talisman towards the front, the second trump card he had purchased, the Soul Fixing Talisman!

”Fix!”

The Soul Fixing Talisman rippled out, freezing the female spirits in mid-air, interrupting the Ghost Infant’s devouring.

At the same time, Xu Hei fully activated the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique, diving into the thick resentment, his tail slicing through the sky, striking fiercely at the Ghost Infant.

”Crackling!!”

The power of Xu Hei’s body transferred from his abdomen to his tail, each transfer increasing the power, and when it reached its peak, this strike could shatter the sky!

Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Dragon Tail Swing!

A thunderous roar echoed across the sky, as if the heavens were being torn apart, scattering more than half of the resentment, directly assaulting the Ghost Infant’s face.

”You really are...” The Ghost Infant’s face changed drastically, countless tendrils shooting out to intercept, but Xu Hei’s tail struck them, causing them to explode, flesh flying everywhere.

With unstoppable momentum, the strike landed heavily on the Ghost Infant’s body.

”Smack!!”

The Ghost Infant’s spherical body was deeply dented, the fierce energy spreading throughout, causing blood to splatter and rain down.

His entire body was nearly severed by the tail swipe.

One strike, severely injured!

”Ah!!” The Ghost Infant let out a piercing scream, countless cries emanating from within, chilling to the bone.

”Devour for me!”

He opened his mouth to inhale again, another female cultivator’s spirit was swallowed, rapidly healing his injuries.

However, as he attempted to devour again, he found the backyard empty.

The hundreds of imprisoned female cultivators were all gone.

”What?” The Ghost Infant’s pupils shrank, his face darkening.

At this moment, all the women inside the houses had their foreheads pierced, their divine senses shattered, their souls extinguished, dying instantly.

Lin Ziye flicked his fingers, coldly saying, ”By killing these female cultivators, you can no longer devour them.”

The resentment in the air was too heavy, his attacks couldn’t get close, not even qualifying to harm the opponent, only Xu Hei could approach.

He couldn’t do nothing, so he targeted the imprisoned women.

Though they were pitiful, Lin Ziye still acted, exterminating them without leaving a single survivor.

The Ghost Infant’s face was extremely grim, these were his prepared food, and now they were all dead.

”Heh, as an enforcer, a scholar, you commit such heinous acts! They were innocent, yet you slaughtered them all, in my view, you’re a demonic cultivator too!” The Ghost Infant sneered.

Xu Hei was also shocked by Lin Ziye’s actions.

But recalling what he had said before, Xu Hei wasn’t surprised.

Back then, in the underwater oil well, Lin Ziye had asked him a question.

”If you were an enforcer, demanding fairness and justice, do you think the process is important, or the result?”

Now looking back, Lin Ziye and Xu Qingfeng, both enforcers, were not the same kind of people.

Procedural justice or result-oriented justice?

From Lin Ziye’s actions, he didn’t align with either, neither process nor result belonged to the side of justice.

Seeing he couldn’t harm the opponent, he directly killed all the opponent’s food supply, this decisiveness and mindset might not suit an enforcer.

But it definitely suited a demon slayer!

In that instant, even Xu Hei hadn’t thought of this idea, but Lin Ziye did it effortlessly.

”And you, the virtues taught by your teacher, is this what they amount to?”

The Ghost Infant looked at Bai Qiushui, sneering as well. Having reached a dead end, he stopped attacking, choosing to taunt instead.

Bai Qiushui remained expressionless, coldly saying, ”Virtue is only for the virtuous! As for a fiend like you...”

Before he finished speaking, Bai Qiushui suddenly appeared behind the Ghost Infant, delivering a heavy punch to his head, driving it into his chest, spraying blood.

”This is virtue!”

Bai Qiushui shouted angrily, grabbing the Ghost Infant’s body with both hands, tearing it apart, flesh flying, the dent from the Dragon Tail Swing splitting open, ripping it into two halves.

To deal with brutality, one must use brutal methods.

Xu Hei flashed forward, unleashing another Dragon Tail Swing, smashing the halved ghost shadow into pieces, scattering flesh everywhere.

Simultaneously, he ignited the Soul Burning Lamp, the raging flames spreading for miles, igniting all the flesh, emitting a sizzling sound, accompanied by wailing screams, countless ghost shadows turning to ash.

The resentment in this place finally began to slowly decrease.

The Ghost Infant had reached its limit.

Without food replenishment, and being besieged by Bai Qiushui and Xu Hei, it was completely annihilated, quickly perishing.

Xu Hei continued to unleash the Dragon Shatter Roar, dispersing the wandering ghosts, leaving no possible remnants, conducting a thorough sweep.

He knew the matter might not be over, if it truly was a protector, there might be more tricks.

Bai Qiushui landed on the ground, his aura rapidly declining, his massive and bizarre body shrinking quickly, muscles withering, bones shortening, in just a moment, he returned to normal height.

At this moment, his face was pale, his body weak, on the verge of fainting, caught by Lin Ziye, who praised, ”Well done.”

Bai Qiushui smiled wryly, ”Only... five minutes.”

The battle seemed long, but in reality, it was only half a cup of tea’s time, after receiving the teacher’s power boost, five minutes was his limit.

After all, his own cultivation was too weak, relying on external power couldn’t last long.

”Wait!”

Xu Hei exclaimed.

At this moment, from the center of the backyard, a strange force began to seep out, a force very familiar, the same divine sense power that had suddenly emerged before.

Originally thought to have reached its limit by forming a lake, now, new power was appearing.

Xu Hei finally saw clearly, there was a teleportation array hidden underground.

At this moment, a pair of eerie green eyes slowly opened within the surging divine sense power, locking onto Xu Hei.

Simultaneously, a voice like a ghostly whisper from the abyss echoed through the heavens and earth.

”To make me, the Soul Refining Demon Lord, travel millions of miles to personally act, hmph, you should be proud!”
