Serpent Ancestor

In the Southern Region, the Five Great Sects each have their own specialties.

The Purple Mist Sect excels in Pill Refining, the Mountain Movers Sect in Artifact Refining, the Tai Xuan Sect in Formations, the Carefree Sect in Talisman Crafting, and the Snake Catchers Sect in Beast Taming.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect specializes in puppets.

When these skills are combined and coordinated, they can achieve the effect of defeating many with few, and the weak overcoming the strong.

Xu Hei had anticipated this scene long ago. The Mountain Embrace Seal just now was merely a feint. Almost simultaneously, a white lightning flashed by like a startling swan, precisely the Spirit-Breaking Sword.

This sword pierced through the cracked light formation without any hindrance, making a turn in front of Zhou Xu’s neck.

”Slash!”

His head soared into the sky, and the defensive magical treasures on his body didn’t even have time to activate before he fell to the ground, dead and gone.

His storage bag also disappeared, taken away by the Spirit-Breaking Sword, which burrowed underground.

”Zhou Xu is dead?””What was that just now? Such speed!”

”Damn it! Who did this?”

The members of the Carefree Sect were furious and shocked, but they had no time to investigate further, as the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe was already approaching.

Taking advantage of the broken defensive light formation, they stepped into the sky, crushing forward like war chariots that could shatter mountains and rivers.

”All members, perform the Elephant Roar!”

Man Jin led the charge, raising his long trunk, spewing hot air towards the crowd.

”Roar!”

The elephant herd also performed the Elephant Roar in unison, sound waves sweeping across the sky, stirring up a violent storm, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

The people of the Carefree Sect were blown about, losing their formation. In previous battles, they relied on their agility, fighting while retreating, never engaging head-on.

Even when attacked by sound waves, they could use formations to block them.

But once the formation was gone, their formation was immediately scattered, plunging from a stalemate into an abyss, utterly defeated.

Xu Hei remained hidden underground, not taking further action.

There were too many people here, and he had just killed someone and shattered the Tai Xuan Sect’s formation, which was already his limit.

If he revealed the Soul-absorbing Flag and exposed his true identity, being seen by those Snake Catchers could lead to unforeseen trouble.

Xu Hei was not familiar with the current situation and didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself, becoming a target.

This battlefield had caught the attention of the Grand Elder, Yin Mingzi, who occasionally glanced over, a strange expression on his face.

”Slash!”

Before long, another elder of the Carefree Sect was pierced through the chest by an ivory tusk, falling lifeless.

”Heh, humans, it seems your side will be the first to lose!”

The old demon monkey laughed sinisterly.

Yin Mingzi’s expression remained unchanged, outwardly still engaged with the old monkey, but in reality, he was paying more attention to the Carefree Sect’s side.

”This old bastard is indeed watching me!”

Xu Hei’s gaze was cold, his intuition sharp. He could tell at a glance if someone was looking for him.

Xu Hei surveyed the surroundings, comparing them to a map. The ancient tomb was nearby.

The humans’ motive was clear: to seize the tomb, which is why they were fighting the demonic beasts.

However, there was one thing he couldn’t understand.

The humans had no reinforcements. With so few people, how did they dare to engage in a great battle with the demonic beasts?

Isn’t this seeking annihilation?

Though people die for wealth, you are cultivators. Knowing you can’t win, why throw your lives away? It’s incomprehensible.

Xu Hei thought it over and realized something was wrong.

He furrowed his brows and retreated a thousand meters away.

”The defeat of the Carefree Sect is only a matter of time. Let’s see what changes occur.”

Xu Hei took out a pill, held it in his mouth, and focused his mind, ready to summon a magical treasure at any moment to guard against unexpected changes.

As time passed, more and more members of the Carefree Sect fell, their bodies plummeting from the sky.

The Carefree Sect was anxious, but Yin Mingzi remained calm as ever.

”I won’t play with you anymore!”

The Carefree Sect’s ancestor, Li Yao, his face ashen, took out a talisman and burned it, preparing to flee.

Suddenly, Man Jin flung countless ivory tusks into the sky, crisscrossing and spreading cold, forming a frozen zone in the air.

”All members, take the pills!” Man Jin shouted.

In an instant, all the Foundation Establishment Stage elephants of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe took out milky white pills and swallowed them.

Demonic beasts taking pills was unexpected for everyone.

They didn’t think much of it, as pills were crafted by humans for themselves, having little effect on demonic beasts, especially such large creatures like elephants, where the efficacy would be diluted to the extreme.

However, Xu Hei, hidden underground, had his pupils contract.

This milky white pill looked somewhat familiar.

Xu Hei quickly took out a jade bottle with the words ”Bone Strengthening Pills” written on it, containing the same milky white pills.

”No way?”

Xu Hei swallowed hard.

Were these pills refined by Xu Bai?

At this moment, after taking the Bone Strengthening Pills, the elephant herd erupted with dazzling white light, a strange energy emerging within them.

Their tusks grew at a terrifying speed, shooting out like winding dragons, stabbing towards Li Yao, the ancestor.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang... ten zhang, twenty zhang...

”What kind of monster is this?!”

Everyone was horrified.

Xu Hei was also dumbfounded.

Their expressions were as if witnessing a miracle, eyes wide, almost popping out, even the distant battle paused, all eyes turning here.

”Haotian Divine Shield!”

Li Yao took out a golden shield, quickly forming an eggshell, enveloping himself. Man Jin’s tusks grew to thirty zhang, wrapping around Li Yao’s eggshell layer by layer, with countless tusks stabbing from behind.

”Boom boom boom...”

The shield trembled incessantly, and with a loud crash, it shattered into pieces. Li Yao’s form changed rapidly, slipping through the gaps in the tusks, but Man Jin was prepared, letting out a roar, causing him to momentarily freeze.

”Slash!”

Li Yao’s back was pierced by a tusk, blood gushing, as more tusks stabbed him, turning him into a sieve.

”Ancestor!”

The Carefree Sect’s crowd screamed in horror.

”......”

Xu Hei was completely stunned.

Not only him, everyone was stunned, caught off guard by the sudden change.

Xu Hei instantly understood. Xu Bai had not only tested the pills on him but also on Man Jin. The effect was so shocking, he didn’t know what to say.

Bone Strengthening Pills, damn Bone Strengthening Pills!

Yin Mingzi’s face alternated between green and red. He no longer hesitated, directly taking out a token and activating it.

This matter was too bizarre. Initially planning to wait, but now he couldn’t delay any longer.

”Buzz!”

The token in Yin Mingzi’s hand floated up, rising into the sky, emitting a white light.

Within it, an immense divine sense pressure was born, growing stronger, sweeping out like a storm in all directions.

This divine sense’s strength far exceeded everyone present, both humans and demonic beasts.

It was like ants facing a mountain, a tsunami, causing all beings to tremble, feeling an irresistible force.

”What powerful cultivation, who is this?”

The old demon monkey’s face changed dramatically, retreating hastily.
