Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 199: Yuan Ying's artistic conception, ambush at the exit

"Ever-changing Fish and Dragon!"

Xu Hei's speed reached its peak, entering the Minor Teleportation Formation almost the instant it activated, enveloped by spatial light.

Inside the formation, several people appeared simultaneously, all members of the Chu Tian Alliance.

Zhang Tie, Ku Xuan, the Silver-haired Witch, Xiao Chou, Zhao Wenzhuo, and the Vulture.

A few rogue cultivators also rushed in.

Seeing Xu Hei enter, everyone was slightly surprised.

Ku Xuan nodded in greeting, Zhang Tie remained expressionless, Xiao Chou was full of excitement, Zhao Wenzhuo's pupils contracted as he took out a tortoiseshell to calculate fortunes.

The Silver-haired Witch stayed icy cold, not even glancing at him.

The Vulture warily retreated a few steps, perching on Ku Xuan's shoulder.

Everyone's expressions varied, but it was clear Xu Qingfeng had informed them not to stop Xu Hei.

Xu Qingfeng did not enter; he stood outside the formation, holding the Ten Thousand Word Heavenly Book, back to the crowd, protecting them.

Zhou Qing burst from the ground, eyes locked, and charged toward the formation without a word.

Upon seeing Xu Hei inside the formation, his pupils slightly contracted.

"It's you?"

Zhou Qing was surprised, instantly realizing that the one who had been teleported earlier was just a substitute, not the true form of this snake.

The snake's real body was hidden somewhere, only emerging now!

He had sensed something was amiss before; behind the medicine garden lay an endless void. Even if the snake teleported, where would it go? Entering the endless void was a dead end!

Now, it dawned on him that he had been tricked again!

In an instant, Zhou Qing's eyes erupted with a murderous intent that could no longer be contained.

He took out a gray talisman and crushed it, blood seeping from his palm as he activated a spell. Blood-red runes rapidly spread from the shattered talisman.

Where the runes passed, even space trembled, forming a barrier as if to interrupt the teleportation waves.

"A fourth-level talisman?!"

The crowd behind exclaimed; the talisman Zhou Qing used was a fourth-level talisman, a Void Lock Talisman!

The Void Lock Talisman could lock space, prohibiting teleportation, a divine ability only Elemental Infant stage cultivators could wield, beyond mere spells.

Zhou Qing had prepared ample means for this expedition, and this was one of his trump cards. Without hesitation, he used it to trap the opponent.

"The wind is cold at Yi River, the warrior goes never to return!"

Xu Qingfeng, holding the Ten Thousand Word Heavenly Book, recited loudly. From the book floated a long poem, coalescing into a black figure.

This figure, holding a blade, exuded an extremely chilling killing intent, even hinting at the Elemental Infant stage's aura.

The aura of life and death, a thought of life, a thought of death!

This was the insight of an Elemental Infant cultivator before bravely facing death, transformed into verses and integrated into the Ten Thousand Word Heavenly Book.

Words became poetry, infused with aura, presenting power far beyond ordinary single words!

"Kill!"

The black figure, like a blade, charged toward Zhou Qing's area, the indescribable aura of life and death instantly invading Zhou Qing's body.

In a flash, Zhou Qing's hair turned white, his eyebrows grayed, skin withered, as if on the brink of death in an instant.

"Ah!!"

Zhou Qing screamed and retreated, the Void Lock Talisman forcibly interrupted.

"God of War Avatar!"

Simultaneously, Lei He also acted.

Holding a long spear, clad in battle armor, his whole body exuded fierce flames. Step by step, he advanced, a massive blood-colored figure appearing behind him, like a god of war on the battlefield, capable of slaughtering millions with a single thought!

Similarly, an indescribable aura of slaughter swept from the avatar, shaking the heavens and earth.

Another Elemental Infant cultivator's aura, the aura of slaughter!

In the past, the owner of this aura had slaughtered a million enemy troops, almost single-handedly conquering a nation. All captives were killed without mercy.

Endless slaughter forged the myth of Qin Kingdom's God of War, stepping into the Elemental Infant stage with the aura of slaughter!

And this was merely a remnant of that aura, instantly boosting Lei He's power, making him invincible within the Core Formation stage!

"Kill!"

Xu Qingfeng spat blood, marking the Ten Thousand Word Heavenly Book.

The black figure, like an assassin rushing toward death, charged unhesitatingly at the blood-flaming God of War Avatar, colliding with a thunderous crash.

Heaven and earth shattered, the void broke, the great path roared!

This was a clash of Elemental Infant auras.

The aura of life and death against the aura of slaughter!

Xu Hei, within the Minor Teleportation Formation, was utterly stunned, his mind buzzing, unable to utter a word.

Everyone present was shocked, awed by the overwhelming aura.

"I can't calculate it!"

Zhao Wenzhuo looked at the tortoiseshell in his hand, then at Xu Hei, his expression grave.

In the blink of an eye!

At the moment of the two auras' collision, the Minor Teleportation Formation completed, activating immediately, spatial ripples enveloping everyone within.

"Buzz!"

The crowd within the formation vanished, transforming into streaks of light, traversing the void, teleporting outward.

This was not a random teleportation.

It had a direction, returning along the path they came, no different from an ordinary Small Teleportation Talisman. However, the talismans were limited, non-renewable, and due to war consumption, were scarce nationwide.

Perhaps due to interference from the battle, this teleportation did not move them far, stopping just outside the Blood Corpse Cave.

This place was familiar to everyone, not far from the exit, needing at most half an incense stick's time to leave.

Enough!

"Go!"

Everyone moved in unison, rushing toward the exit, aiming to escape as quickly as possible.

No one cared about Xu Qingfeng's fate; they had long reached an understanding. As rebels, no decision could afford a hint of hesitation.

Xu Hei also used Ever-changing Fish and Dragon, about to rush out, but hadn't gone far when a sense of dread washed over him.

"Stay!"

A sharp voice echoed nearby.

Xu Hei hurriedly stopped, seeing a wall of golden flames rise before him, blocking his path, even warping the void with its heat.

Being burned by it would be disastrous.

Xu Hei squinted, looking to the side.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There stood a young girl in purple, graceful in figure, youthful in appearance, resembling Zhou Wenjun, but with golden flames flickering in her eyes, filled with fierce killing intent.

"Zhou Wendie."

A name suddenly surfaced in Xu Hei's mind.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

From the shadows on both sides and the front, numerous figures emerged, armed with magical treasures and talismans, fully equipped, the Zhou Family and Snake Catchers Sect guards stationed here.

They had set ambushes throughout the Blood Corpse Cave.

Zhou Wendie had even taken it upon herself to dispatch an additional Zhou Family team to guard the cave entrance, preventing any escape.

Zhou Qingxuan was among them, the strongest, having reached mid-stage Core Formation.

At this moment, they stared at the scales on Xu Hei, precisely as Bai Luo had described, the scales of the culprit.
