Serpent Ancestor

From the moment the Scarlet Flame Demon Eyes appeared, Zhou Wendie had no intention of holding back. This fire burned everything and was the nemesis of all things sinister.

Staring at the blaze igniting in the void, Xu Hei remained unfazed, his entire body enveloped in a layer of blood-red armor, perfectly encasing his serpent-like form.

Blood God Armor!

At this moment, both Xu Hei’s speed and close combat abilities were pushed to their limits.

”Whoosh!”

With the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique fully unleashed, Xu Hei instantly passed through the fiery net, arriving right in front of Zhou Wendie.

This explosive speed left Zhou Wendie stunned, and another Ice Soul Demon Eye immediately emerged, freezing the surroundings and drastically slowing Xu Hei’s speed.

Initially, she wanted to keep it hidden, but if she continued to do so, defeat was certain!

”Is that the Ice Soul Demon Eye?!” Zhang Tie’s pupils contracted.

”Her Scarlet Flame Demon Eye is still in my possession, yet she awakened the Ice Soul Demon Eye. This woman is indeed extraordinary!” Xu Qingfeng murmured.At this moment, the appearance of the Ice Soul Demon Eye once again caused a stir.

Even the extremely arrogant Bai Luo couldn’t help but express a hint of surprise, nodding in admiration.

As Xu Hei approached, an uncontrollable icy force surged in from the outside, freezing the Blood God Armor, his flesh, and his True Qi.

But when this extreme cold tried to invade his meridians, the Demon God Cauldron trembled slightly, immediately refining all the freezing energy.

This unexpected situation left Xu Hei momentarily stunned.

Without hesitation, he summoned a Blood Killing Sword, brimming with endless bloodlust, and thrust it towards Zhou Wendie.

At such close range, there was nowhere for her to dodge.

”Slash!”

A streak of blood appeared on her cheek, most of her hair was cut off, and the blood-red Sword Qi, like devouring insects, surged into her body through the facial wound, causing Zhou Wendie to spew blood and retreat.

The Blood Killing Sword, once it hits even a minor wound, rapidly worsens the injury.

Seeing the Blood Killing Sword strike again, her eyes swirled with ice and fire, forming a blue fire wall in front. Even the Blood Killing Sword was frozen after being burned by the fire wall.

Xu Hei could clearly feel the opponent’s life force rapidly declining.

”No wonder it’s a third-tier high-grade Flying Sword; its effect is immediate,” Xu Hei thought to himself.

Although the Blood Killing Sword also consumed a significant amount of his vitality, Xu Hei’s physique was extraordinary, well within his endurance.

At this moment, as long as he pressed the advantage, he had a great chance of completely defeating the opponent.

But Xu Hei had a nagging feeling.

”Something’s not right! I can’t just win like this! I must have overlooked some detail! Something’s definitely wrong!”

Xu Hei’s mind raced, constantly recalling various details from before, replaying every facial expression and action of everyone involved.

In that brief instant, Xu Hei connected many dots.

Suddenly, Xu Hei thought of a possibility, his pupils slightly contracting.

”Could it be...”

Xu Hei pondered carefully, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he felt a chill run down his spine, his body trembling.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he couldn’t continue fighting; he couldn’t take such a risk.

Xu Hei immediately retreated, applied an Invisibility Talisman, and then swallowed a Pill.

The Blood Locking Pill, the more severe the injury, the faster the healing effect, could be used for disguise. Xu Qingfeng had used this pill to deceive the Four Sects Alliance, making others believe he was in a severely injured state.

Not enough!

Xu Hei swallowed a Breath Suppressing Pill, which could suppress True Qi to the lowest level, making others think he was out of True Qi, while it was actually stored deep within the Demon God Cauldron.

He had to conceal his strength, not expose it.

When Xu Hei reappeared, he looked weak, the Blood God Armor dim and lifeless, as if drained of all vitality.

Seeing this, Zhou Wendie didn’t show much surprise.

”The Blood God Armor and the Blood Killing Sword of the second ancestor, how could they be so easily mastered? You’re indeed at your limit.”

Zhou Wendie struggled to stand from the ground, the scars on her face gradually enlarging, threatening to disfigure her, but she didn’t care; instead, her eyes showed excitement.

The Blood God Armor and Blood Killing Sword, each use consumed a massive amount of the user’s vitality to maintain.

Even Zhou Qing was left emaciated, let alone Xu Hei?

Zhou Wendie had calculated Xu Hei’s tactics long ago.

What he had used and what he hadn’t, she knew clearly, knowing oneself and the enemy, she could remain undefeated. From the moment he brought out the Blood God Armor and Blood Killing Sword, she had predicted the subsequent situation.

”If I’m not mistaken, he still has a tower he hasn’t used.”

Zhou Wendie’s eyes bled, but she didn’t use any other means, directly employing her ice and fire dual eyes.

”Boom!!”

One ice, one fire, growing more intense, forming two tornadoes, spiraling towards Xu Hei. Xu Hei’s expression turned grave as he summoned the Black Dragon Pagoda to block in front.

”Boom!!”

The ice and fire tornadoes collided with the Black Dragon Pagoda, Xu Hei spat blood and was sent flying, even the Black Dragon Pagoda was overturned.

Zhou Wendie’s pupils bled more, but she didn’t care, swallowing a Pill and walking straight ahead.

Suddenly, as she approached within a hundred feet of Xu Hei, the Black Dragon Pagoda suddenly moved, crashing towards Zhou Wendie.

”Whoosh!!”

A strike missed.

Zhou Wendie’s Void Piercing Eye and Startling Swan Step were always active, constantly guarding against any sneak attacks.

If Xu Hei had no backup plan, she would have been more worried.

”It seems you’re at your limit too, even your sneak attacks are powerless.”

At this moment, she retreated to the other side of the Black Dragon Pagoda, took out a longbow, drew it fully, and placed a black arrow, aiming at Xu Hei.

Demon Slaying Bow, Demon Exorcising Arrow!

This was her final trump card, the top-tier Magical Treasure in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion! It had a strong restraining effect on Demonic Beasts and evil spirits, once locked on, there was no escape, it was almost a guaranteed kill!

”With the Demon Slaying Bow and Demon Exorcising Arrow, it should be over.”

Zhou Qingxuan sighed.

Others also sighed.

This battle had undergone two reversals, initially Zhou Wendie was suppressed, but once the ice and fire dual eyes were used, the situation reversed, and Xu Hei was constantly restrained.

The Blood God Armor and Blood Killing Sword, though possessing unparalleled defense and attack, were used by the Zhou Family’s second ancestor, not something ordinary people could easily master.

Defeating the enemy at the cost of one’s own damage.

”Whoosh!”

Zhou Wendie released her grip, the Demon Exorcising Arrow shot out instantly, tearing through the sky, leaving a deep mark in the void.

Xu Hei launched himself with the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique, flying towards the distance, leaving countless afterimages in mid-air, splitting into two, creating an External Incarnation.

But to Zhou Wendie, all this seemed like a futile struggle.

”Poof!”

The incarnation was pierced through, and the Demon Exorcising Arrow locked onto the true body, striking Xu Hei.

”Boom!”

The dragon scales emitted a metallic sound, not pierced in the slightest, but his internal flesh collapsed, spewing from his mouth, crashing to the ground, unable to move.

Piercing one, slaying the incarnation, destroying the true body, the power of the Demon Exorcising Arrow was fully displayed.

”It’s over!”

Zhou Wendie exhaled deeply, her body nearly collapsing to the ground.

Xu Bai and Hei Huang’s eyes were wide open, staring at Xu Hei in the field, as if dumbfounded.

”Heh, the outcome is the same, why bother?” Zhou Qingxuan sneered.

Various teams sighed, voicing all sorts of opinions.

Only Tianji Shangren remained silent, doing something unknown.

In the sky, Mo Wuyou’s phantom also appeared, about to announce the result.

And at this moment.

From Tianji Shangren’s sleeve, a female doll appeared, lifelike and indistinguishable from Zhou Wendie, except the eyes hadn’t been drawn.

At this moment, Tianji Shangren gently tapped, and the doll’s eyes appeared, one blue, one red, ice and fire dual eyes.

”After receiving so many favors from me, cause and effect must be repaid, it’s time for you to return the favor.”

Tianji Shangren took out the doll, some snake scales on the doll’s surface fell off, dissipating in mid-air.

This was his second layer of preparation, turning it into a snake, but it seemed unnecessary, Zhou Wendie was indeed the child of destiny.

No need to change, his choice was correct!

”Cause and effect transfer!”

Tianji Shangren clenched his fist, Zhou Wendie’s doll dissipated, merging into his body.
