Serpent Ancestor

”Swish, swish, swish...”

The formation flags fell like the wind, surrounding the massive worm completely.

Xue Yang formed a spell with his hands, linking all the formation flags together to create a barrier that isolated the Insect Emperor. The Insect Emperor seemed to sense danger, its fat body wriggling as it sent out faint signals.

These signals were a call to gather the swarm, meant to summon all the Spirit-Eating Ants back. However, each attempt to send the signal was reflected back by the formation.

The Insect Emperor tried to struggle, but the continuous flow of mist from the incense burner seeped into its body, lulling it into an even deeper slumber.

”Is it ready?” the white-haired elder transmitted his voice.

Xue Yang nodded and whispered, ”Do it!”

As soon as he spoke, the five people accompanying Xue Yang simultaneously launched their attacks towards Luo Gang and the leader of the Extinction Gang.

The brocade-robed cultivator flicked his fingers, dropping a valve at the entrance to seal the only exit. Then, a large number of puppet insects flew out from his storage bag, their numbers so vast they blotted out the sky.

The white-haired elder drew an Eight Trigrams Sword, pointing it forward. It split into eight, forming a grand sword formation that attacked the leader of the Extinction Gang like a storm.The other three used water techniques to control the flow, creating a vortex waterfall that crashed towards Luo Gang. They attacked with divine sense, turning their divine sense into sharp blades to slash at Luo Gang’s companions. Another summoned ghostly shadows, sending countless wandering souls rushing at Luo Gang.

These five were clearly well-prepared, launching deadly moves without delay, aiming to eliminate their opponents as quickly as possible.

As for Xue Yang, a blood-red sun appeared in his palm, rising slowly. This sun was not hot but carried a strong aura of malice.

This was not a sun, but a blood-stained Blood Sun, the origin of his title, Blood Sun True Master.

Without a word, Xue Yang enlarged the Blood Sun in his hand and swung it towards the leader of the Extinction Gang. The overwhelming malice turned the entire Insect Emperor’s cave dwelling blood-red.

The horse-faced youth from the Tianhen Sword Sect retreated rapidly, sticking to the wall like a spider, distancing himself from the battlefield.

As for Xu Hei, unsurprisingly, Ah Yin grabbed him, and the two entered a state of intangibility to avoid being affected. Xue Yang only glanced at him before refocusing his attention.

This intangibility technique was immune to all attacks, arguably the most annoying move he had seen. Fortunately, it had no offensive power, and Xu Hei was considered a weakling, not worth anyone’s attention.

Xue Yang and his group’s goal was clear: to eliminate these outsiders.

Luo Gang reacted swiftly, unleashing a torrent of sand from his body, forming a thick layer around him to block most of the attacks. The wandering souls that passed through the sand were sucked into his gourd, barely holding off the assault.

”So it’s you, the City Lord of Liefeng City, Luo Gang!”

The one who summoned the wandering souls laughed sinisterly.

Luo Gang’s name was well-known; the City Lord of Liefeng City, a renowned expert in the eastern wasteland. However, compared to Xue Yang, he was still a notch below.

The leader of the Extinction Gang, hit by Xue Yang, let out a pained groan. Her black umbrella was ignited by the Blood Sun, burning with scarlet flames. The overwhelming malice seeped into her ears and nose, turning her eyes blood-red and eroding her spirit.

With the white-haired elder’s sword formation assisting, occasionally releasing two Gu insects, the leader of the Extinction Gang was left with no room to counterattack, heavily injured in just one encounter.

The leader of the Extinction Gang, whose real name was Gu Sheng, named her gang after her own intent.

To annihilate all living beings, including herself, to prove the Dao of Extinction. Her body rapidly turned pale, blood disappearing, skin withering, as she sacrificed her own life to enhance her intent.

In a trance, a reflection of the netherworld appeared behind her, with scenes of the Yellow Spring, skeletons, and the Ghost Gate... hellish scenes unfolded one by one.

Sacrificing life, the netherworld reappeared.

As the Blood Sun descended, the black umbrella in her hand transformed into a barrier, blocking all attacks from outside while she retreated into the netherworld.

”Escaped?” The white-haired elder frowned slightly.

”Retreating into the netherworld, even if not dead, she’s half-crippled, not worth worrying about,” Xue Yang snorted coldly, turning his gaze to the struggling Luo Gang and his companion.

Under the siege of the other four experts, the two struggled to hold on, yet their faces showed no panic.

Luo Gang’s strength was not particularly strong. Although he was the lord of a city, Liefeng City’s status as one of the three main cities in the eastern wasteland was not solely due to his efforts.

His strength lay in his management skills and his connections.

The masked cultivator beside him, who had been there from the beginning, caught Xue Yang’s attention.

”Sir, at this point, are you still not giving it your all? Do you really think my title as Blood Sun True Master is just for show?”

Without hesitation, Xue Yang summoned a mass of blood-red setting sun, hurling it towards the masked cultivator. The space trembled violently, like a world-destroying star.

The white-haired elder also freed his hand, redirecting his Eight Trigrams Sword towards the masked cultivator.

The two attacking him also unleashed their killing moves simultaneously, a Water Tornado and an Extinction Slash, both charging at the masked cultivator.

The masked cultivator remained calm, a half-black, half-white color appearing on his mask. He held something in his hand, shook it, and then punched out.

”Boom!!”

The blood-red setting sun was shattered with a punch, the Eight Trigrams Sword smashed to pieces. The residual shockwave forced everyone to retreat several steps, looking on in astonishment.

To face four opponents and not fall behind.

This person had incredible strength!

Even the horse-faced youth watching from the wall and the intangible Xu Hei looked over, eyes filled with curiosity.

This person hadn’t used any spells or divine abilities, nor had he used any magical treasures, yet with just a simple punch, he displayed such power. Even body cultivators weren’t this fierce.

At this moment, the masked cultivator opened his fist, revealing three dice in his hand.

The faces of the dice all showed four.

Three fours!

”Hahaha, after all this time, I finally rolled three of the same number, four points, four times the power! Now I can truly show my skills!”

The masked cultivator removed his mask, revealing a large four-point mark on his forehead.

”It’s you?!”

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

The horse-faced youth on the wall also showed a change in expression. He hurriedly took out a communication talisman, only to find that the area was completely sealed, unable to send any messages. Otherwise, the Insect Emperor would have already summoned the Spirit-Eating Ant army.

All of their expressions were clearly seen by Xu Hei.

Undoubtedly, this was a top expert, the kind that everyone feared!

”The world’s number one gambler, Gongsun Bo!” Xue Yang’s eyes were solemn.

Gongsun Bo, one of the top ten experts in the eastern wasteland, but his potential was extremely high. Saying he was the number one in the eastern wasteland wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

In his usual state, Gongsun Bo’s strength was only about the same as an ordinary late Elemental Infant stage cultivator, but he had an exceptionally powerful intent—gambling!

As long as he could roll the dice to show three of the same number, he could gain multiple times the enhancement, up to six times, instantly becoming the strongest!

Once he achieved a sixfold increase, saying he was invincible below the Divine Transformation stage wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

”Retreat quickly!”

Without hesitation, Xue Yang shouted loudly.

Everyone retreated rapidly, summoning their magical treasures and assuming defensive stances.

But it was too late! Gongsun Bo’s fourfold increase not only enhanced his strength but also his speed and divine sense, a comprehensive enhancement that couldn’t be countered by a simple four-person alliance.

In just an instant, he appeared before the cultivator using puppets and punched out.

”Boom!!”

With one punch, the person’s head was directly blown apart, countless puppets shattered into dust, falling from the sky, and the terrifying force shook the entire cave dwelling.

However, the person managed to survive by swapping positions, though his true body suffered severe injuries, coughing up blood, his meridians shattered, falling like a dead dog in the distance.

Coincidentally, he landed next to Xu Hei.

But Xu Hei didn’t make any rash moves, continuing to pretend to be a weakling, shrinking away.

Xu Hei had reported Xue Yang’s situation to Luo Gang, knowing that Luo Gang wouldn’t come unprepared. He must have had a backup plan.

He just didn’t expect this backup to be so powerful, taking out one person with a single strike!
