Serpent Ancestor

The events just now happened too quickly, in the span of a single breath, Xu Hei completed his transformation, tearing through space with one claw and directly shattering the teleportation array.

A quick look at ” will leave you more fulfilled.

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s previously calm demeanor vanished, leaving him stunned on the spot. He couldn’t believe that a mere mid-stage demon core cultivator had destroyed the teleportation array right under his nose!

Immediately, an endless fury surged within him.

For the first time, he felt anger. Compared to the killing of the Ghost Infant, Xu Hei breaking the array in front of him was like a slap to his face, causing his arrival plan to fail completely!

The teleportation array required about ten breaths to fully transmit his true form, but with Xu Hei’s destruction, not even half of his divine sense had arrived.

What infuriated him even more was that Xu Hei saw through his plan, feigned ignorance, and while seemingly launching a mock attack, he actually targeted the teleportation array. Such meticulous thinking was rare even among the Chosen he had slain!

”Boy, you’ve successfully angered me. Today, I will kill you!!”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s voice carried a hint of madness, his divine sense once again transforming, from a furnace into a mountain-splitting blade, descending from the sky towards Xu Hei.

”Clang!!”

In a moment of crisis, Xu Hei could only barely summon the Black Dragon Pagoda and the blood-killing sword formation to block in front, but the Black Dragon Pagoda was directly cleaved in half, and the blood-killing sword formation was shattered into pieces.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Hei retreated swiftly, yet was still affected by the blade’s light, leaving a deep gash on his body, even shattering part of his dragon scales.

”Ugh!”

Xu Hei spat out blood, flying backward and crashing into a pavilion.

At this moment, both Xu Hei’s physical body and spirit had reached their limits, and the magical treasures on him were stretched thin. Facing such a formidable enemy, the magical treasures he had prepared were nothing more than toys.

The enemy was too strong! He could destroy the teleportation array and prevent the opponent’s arrival, but that was Xu Hei’s limit.

Amidst the ruins, Xu Hei took out the Mind Calming Flower Dew and swallowed it in one gulp. This was a spirit medicine that could restore divine sense. He also took out a thousand-year-old spirit medicine, directly swallowing and crushing it, fully refining it with the Demon God Cauldron.

The knife wound on his body was visibly healing at a speed observable to the naked eye.

”Slash!”

At this moment, another blade slashed over.

Xu Hei raised his dragon claw, colliding with the blade light, and both of his claws were directly severed. Simultaneously, using the force of the recoil, Xu Hei retreated backward, activating the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique, escaping a distance of ten thousand feet in an instant, rushing towards the edge of the island.

”No, you were clearly exhausted, so how do you still have the strength to fight? This recovery ability...”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s voice came with surprise, his divine sense was strong enough to clearly see the changes in Xu Hei’s body.

Xu Hei swallowing the Mind Calming Flower Dew and the ancient spirit medicine was all seen by him, but what was unbelievable was that Xu Hei refined them so quickly, which defied common sense.

The Soul Refining Demon Lord realized that the secrets on Xu Hei’s body were far more than he had imagined!

”Did Mo Xuan give it to you? No, it can’t be Mo Xuan either. The method of transforming into a true dragon, the bizarre recovery ability, you are an even greater threat than Mo Xuan back then!”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s killing intent had reached its peak; if Xu Hei wasn’t eliminated, he would become a major threat in the future!

”Slash!”

Another blade descended towards Xu Hei.

Xu Hei unleashed his full speed, reaching the edge of the island, but this blade locked onto him completely, capable of pursuing him to the ends of the earth, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

He had interrupted the opponent’s teleportation, but even against less than half of the divine sense, he was still powerless.

Too strong, too strong, the gap was like a chasm!

So strong it was despairing!

”Boom!!!”

Suddenly, the space at the edge of the island was torn open, and behind Xu Hei in the void, a pair of shark teeth appeared out of nowhere, clamping down on the divine sense blade with precision, producing a thunderous sound that shook the heavens.

”Bang!!”

The shockwave blasted Xu Hei away, caught by a porcupine fish.

Xu Hei turned his head to see a massive shark figure appearing in front of the Soul Refining Demon Lord, it was the captain of the third squad, White Tooth.

And from the rift at the end, familiar figures emerged one by one, all members of the third squad.

White Tooth stood firm at the front, his body covered in menacing spikes, the shark fin on his back like a sharp steel blade, from which waves of electricity spread, expanding across the sky.

”Finally made it!” White Tooth said in a deep voice.

The entire hunting squad’s third team had arrived!

”Saved...” Xu Hei breathed heavily, his physical body reverting from the true dragon form to its original size, the dragon claws on his abdomen disappearing, leaving only two bloody holes, the dragon horns and whiskers vanished.

He had turned back into an ordinary horned serpent.

Only a scar on his body testified to the perilous battle that had just occurred.

The porcupine fish shielded Xu Hei behind it, its spikes protruding, forming a spherical shape.

The electric ray, with a horn on its head, formed an electric net as a barrier in front.

The seahorse exhaled mist, transforming the world into a realm of dense fog.

All the team members stood at the front, like a mountain, facing the phantom figure ahead.

”Heh, I wondered who it was, turns out to be a bunch of beasts! Those three little ants in front, and that devil fish, are they yours?” The Soul Refining Demon Lord sneered.

White Tooth said nothing, only shouting to those behind him, ”You, take Xu Hei back!”

Hearing the captain’s command, all the team members moved swiftly, retreating in an orderly fashion into the space rift.

”Hmph!”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord shot out a sharp sword, piercing through the void, directly targeting Xu Hei’s position. White Tooth’s figure flickered, and the fin on his back instantly slashed down, also piercing through the void, intercepting the sharp sword outside.

”Quick!” White Tooth shouted.

All the team members immediately accelerated, entering the rift and disappearing.

Here, only White Tooth and the Soul Refining Demon Lord remained.

”Another boring trick, well, killing a Nascent Soul stage shark isn’t a wasted trip.” The Soul Refining Demon Lord said coldly.

At this moment, the restriction on the island was lifted.

The outside world could clearly see the situation inside, the previously uninhabited island was all an illusion. The real Wolf Fang Gang had not moved away, they had always remained here.

However, this place created a peculiar space similar to the Penglai Sea, accessible only to internal personnel. Outsiders, even if passing by, would not notice anything unusual.

Xu Hei was taken by the team members, quickly moving away from the island.

Xu Hei held on with his last breath, not allowing himself to faint, he lifted his head, looking far towards the direction of the island.

There, a massive giant tooth shark was battling the demon lord, the murderous aura was sky-shattering, the blood energy surging, the tremors spreading for thousands of miles, the battle between two Nascent Soul stage beings had completely sunk the island.

”The captain...” Xu Hei hesitated.

”Don’t worry, the captain will come back, you can rest easy.” The porcupine fish said expressionlessly.

But Xu Hei clearly saw, the porcupine fish’s eyes were tinged with a circle of red.
