Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei sat at the end of the Wind Sail Boat, while the Master of the Hidden Sword sat at the bow, his attention constantly on Xu Hei.

”This kid actually agreed to come with me. Does he think he can take me down alone?”

Of course, he wasn’t naive enough to believe that Xu Hei would obediently follow him back. Such a cunning and deceitful person surely had ulterior motives.

But as long as they left the city, no matter how many tricks Xu Hei had up his sleeve, it would be a dead end!

Xu Hei also knew that the other party was aware of his ill intentions.

He boarded the boat simply to leave Liefeng City. Within the city, many of his methods couldn’t be used. Only outside the city could he truly show his skills.

”Whoosh!”

In an instant, the Wind Sail Boat flew out of Liefeng City, plunging into the endless sandstorm.

Just as they entered the sandstorm, the Master of the Hidden Sword activated a spell, and the boat’s sharp aura intensified. Countless blades and sword shadows flew from the bottom of the boat, forming rows of sword screens that surrounded Xu Hei. A sword formation had already taken shape on the boat.

This was the renowned Eight Extremes Sword Formation of the Tianhen Sword Sect. Although not as powerful as the Star Sword Formation, it was simple to set up and highly concealed. Once the target entered the formation, they would be trapped, making it an excellent method for ambushes.”Kid, you took the Supreme Spirit Stones of our Tianhen Sword Sect, didn’t you?” the Master of the Hidden Sword asked.

”What Supreme Spirit Stones?” Xu Hei feigned confusion.

”Stop pretending. I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the Supreme Spirit Stones, and you might still have a sliver of hope!” the Master of the Hidden Sword shouted.

Xu Hei sneered, ”If you’re going to make a move, just do it. Why the pretense? We’ve already left Liefeng City, so why hesitate?”

He could see that if the person in front of him truly had the ability, he wouldn’t waste words and would have acted already.

The Master of the Hidden Sword exhaled, saying, ”You won’t cry until you see the coffin!”

With a thought, the Eight Extremes Sword Formation descended instantly, countless sword shadows sealing off all directions, their sharp edges aiming to kill Xu Hei.

Xu Hei inwardly sneered. He touched his Spirit Beast Ring, and a dense mass of spider silk flew out, enveloping him. In just a moment, Xu Hei transformed into a cocoon.

The sword shadows fell, but only managed to cut a small slit in the cocoon, unable to break through.

”Insect Demon Xu Hei, so it really is you!”

The Master of the Hidden Sword’s face darkened. He activated a spell, and the Wind Sail Boat’s speed suddenly increased several times, diving into the yellow sand.

”Attack!” the Master of the Hidden Sword shouted.

”Buzz!!”

The scene ahead twisted, the yellow sand vanished, replaced by a massive red sun. The sun was blood-red, lacking heat, yet the world seemed to melt, everything disappearing except for this blood sun!

One of the top ten powerhouses of the eastern wasteland, Xue Yang, was actually lying in ambush here!

With Xue Yang’s appearance, it was as if doomsday had arrived. Countless skeletons appeared in the vision, plagues, natural disasters, meteors, volcanoes—every disaster capable of destroying the world occurred in succession.

This blood sun was born from Xue Yang’s doomsday intent, the source of all calamities.

”Boom!!”

The Eight Extremes Sword Formation fully activated, the Wind Sail Boat accelerated, crashing into the blood sun. The Wind Sail Boat melted instantly, along with the cocoon within the blood sun.

Inside the cocoon, Xu Hei was breaking through the seal on his cultivation as quickly as possible.

Ji Ying’s form contracted, burrowing into Xu Hei’s meridians, finding the seal mark left by the Master of the Hidden Sword, and rammed into it.

”Bang!!”

With a muffled sound, Xu Hei’s cultivation seal was officially lifted!

And just then, the cocoon was also melted by the blood sun.

”Summon Wind and Rain, Summon Fire and Condense Ice!”

With a thought, Xu Hei simultaneously unleashed four Azure Dragon Immortal Spells. These spells, which once drained his true essence, were now all activated at once.

A storm stirred the sand, torrential rain poured from the sky, flames roared from the cocoon, and frost covered the ground. The four immortal spell powers created a magnificent and spectacular scene, not only breaking the Eight Extremes Sword Formation but also causing the blood sun to collapse immediately.

”What?”

A voice of surprise came from within the swirling sand.

Xue Yang hadn’t expected the opponent to be so strong, able to break even his doomsday setting sun. But he didn’t hesitate, once again using his ultimate skill, Twin Star Sun!

In his palm appeared two rotating blood-red setting suns, crashing toward Xu Hei.

The Master of the Hidden Sword also raised a hand, a sword case appearing behind him. Countless flying swords flew out densely, whistling like a swarm of locusts, their numbers in the hundreds and thousands, increasingly numerous, comparable to the sandstorm that covered the sky.

Xu Hei breaking the seal so quickly was truly unexpected, but with the two of them joining forces, there was no target they couldn’t take down.

”No wonder you wanted me to come with you. So there was an ambush outside the city.”

Xu Hei had long known that Xue Yang was colluding with Lin Tianhe. The last time, they had released news of the Divine King’s Hall’s insect lair just to lure him out.

Unfortunately, Xu Hei had obtained most of the underground spiritual liquid, and he himself had broken through to the mid-stage Elemental Infant.

Though it was a reluctant breakthrough, his strength was now far beyond what it was before, no longer someone to be easily manipulated!

”Earth Dragon Armor!”

With a low shout, Xu Hei summoned the yellow sand to form a brown armor on his body, a defensive divine ability taught by the Earth Flood Dragon Mo Cang.

”Boom!”

The two suns collided, sending Xu Hei flying, and he was attacked by sword light in mid-air, leaving countless wounds on his body. The armor had just formed and was already shattered.

The two didn’t let up, one leaping forward to attack Xu Hei.

Xu Hei used his movement technique to retreat swiftly, simultaneously releasing the True Dragon Sword, setting up a sword formation.

”Don’t give him a chance to set up the formation!”

Having witnessed Xu Hei’s sword formation, the two naturally didn’t dare to be careless. Even the red-haired woman had been trapped, let alone them.

The Master of the Hidden Sword pointed at the ground, and the flying sword Xu Hei had just buried was picked out with a single sword, then slashed into pieces from a distance.

But at that moment, the flying sword that had been shattered suddenly moved, countless fragments rising into the air, rushing toward him.

”No, this isn’t a flying sword!” The Master of the Hidden Sword’s pupils shrank, exclaiming, ”These are Spirit-Eating Ants!”

What Xu Hei had just buried wasn’t a sword formation at all.

It was insects, all insects!

At this moment, Xu Hei finally didn’t hesitate any longer, unleashing his trump card! The other side was prepared, even having Xue Yang ambush outside the city. Xu Hei hadn’t planned to use his insect army, but Xue Yang’s strength was beyond imagination, and now he had no choice.

”Attack!”

Xu Hei touched the Spirit Beast Ring.

”Swish swish swish...”

Endless black dots flew out from the ring, forming a storm mixed with the swirling sand, flying toward the two. Upon closer inspection, they were densely packed Spirit-Eating Ants.

Xue Yang’s face changed drastically, ”So many?”

He had just released the Twin Star Sun, only for thousands of Spirit-Eating Ants to burrow in, gnawing it clean in minutes. The flying swords released by the Master of the Hidden Sword were also bitten by the Spirit-Eating Ants, carving out a bloody path with sheer numbers.

”Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can you control thousands of Spirit-Eating Ants? This is impossible!”

The Master of the Hidden Sword was incredulous, his eyes filled with shock.
