Serpent Ancestor

In an instant, Xu Hei was pierced by invisible Sword Qi, with nowhere to hide.

”Shhh shhh shhh shhh shhh...”

Xu Hei was covered in countless wounds, as if he had been sliced by a thousand blades. But in the next moment, his Star-Moon Sword vanished, and with a teleportation, he slashed towards Mo Yun at the center of the sword formation.

”Clang!”

With a crisp sound, the Star-Moon Sword seemed to be blocked by an invisible sword, unable to advance an inch, even though there was nothing there.

”What a powerful sword formation!” Xu Hei’s eyes were solemn.

As expected of a fifth-tier sword formation, even though he had broken through to the late Elemental Infant stage, he still couldn’t do anything about it.

A flush appeared on Mo Yun’s face as he forcibly suppressed his churning blood and activated the sword formation again. Xu Hei still saw nothing in front of him, yet a strong sense of danger loomed.

”Clang!”

Xu Hei summoned the Three-Life Coffin to block in front of him. The coffin was struck as if by a massive force, sending Xu Hei flying backward, crashing onto the street within the city, creating a large pit.The city’s residents quickly retreated, keeping a safe distance.

Xu Hei climbed out of the pit, staring at the sword formation in the sky, his gaze growing more intense.

”What a bizarre sword formation. That sword clearly hasn’t moved, yet it can injure people from afar. This is comparable to teleportation! No, it’s even harder to defend against than teleportation!”

Xu Hei thought to himself, as expected of a fifth-tier sword formation that could fend off the Divine Transformation stage in the past, it truly had some merit.

However, he could also see that Mo Yun, with his old bones, seemed to be struggling. After several attacks, Mo Yun’s face appeared somewhat pale.

But Xu Hei wasn’t sure if the other was just pretending. After all, as the city’s protector, if he couldn’t even handle the sword formation, it would be quite unreasonable.

Xu Hei changed direction and shot another sword, which was once again accurately blocked and countered by the opponent.

Xu Hei used the Three-Life Coffin to defend, but after several exchanges, he gained no advantage, and instead, more sword wounds appeared on his body.

It was only because the Kylin Pill’s medicinal power was still active, continuously healing his injuries, that he dared to act so recklessly.

”Star-Moon Nine Transformations!”

Xu Hei split into nine Star-Moon Swords, attacking Mo Yun from different directions, but without exception, they were all intercepted.

Even his ultimate move, Nine Swords as One, was blocked by the invisible sword blade.

”Villain, meet your end!”

Mo Yun raised his hand, and the unmoving sword slashed down again.

Xu Hei was struck by a sword, a large gash appearing on his chest. He quickly retreated to the top of a pavilion, channeling the medicinal power to slowly heal the wound.

”I underestimated you. The Tianhen Sword Sect has held this city for thousands of years, even longer than Liefeng City. It’s indeed not easy to deal with.”

Xu Hei’s face was as calm as water, secretly contemplating a strategy.

Through the previous probing, Mo Yun’s control of the sword formation was seamless, with almost no flaws to exploit. Attacking from various angles, he couldn’t break through it.

The unmoving sword formation was simply an unsolvable existence.

Even an old bone like Mo Yun could defend flawlessly.

Xu Hei could also identify the opponent’s weakness. As long as he left the city, the opponent couldn’t catch up with him. But if he did that, what would be the point of his robbery?

Suddenly, a voice appeared in Xu Hei’s mind: ”Xu Hei, you’ve already thought of a way, haven’t you?”

”What way?” Xu Hei frowned.

”Heh, why are you pretending? At this point, are you still trying to play the good guy?” The Inner Demon sneered, ”You’ve already done so many evil deeds, do you still care about this?”

Xu Hei remained silent.

”Xu Hei, you are a demon! Admit it, and accept it. Be a villain openly, what’s the harm? Haven’t your past experiences taught you a lesson?”

”This world is chaotic and disorderly. If you can’t change the rules, you can only adapt! Understand adaptation?”

”If you’re not ruthless enough, let me take over!”

The Inner Demon’s cold voice echoed in Xu Hei’s mind like ice.

Xu Hei gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, bones creaking from the immense force, his body trembling slightly. After a long time, he closed his eyes.

At this moment, another invisible sword mark slashed towards him. Xu Hei raised his hand to catch it, blood splattering from his palm, and he was knocked off the tower, landing in the city.

When Xu Hei opened his eyes again.

His gaze had completely changed, becoming incredibly cold, unlike the previous Xu Hei, but rather a stranger.

This was the Inner Demon!

Another Xu Hei!

”Heavenly Demon Technique, Fifth Form: Heavenly Demon Transformation!”

Xu Hei’s hand gestures changed, a frenzied evil thought emanating from his Divine Sense, spreading throughout his body. His form turned into a deep black, hair wildly dancing in the wind, eyes glowing red, nearly losing all reason, and his power surged to the extreme!

The Heavenly Demon Transformation was a divine ability paired with the Heavenly Demon Technique, allowing perfect utilization of the Inner Demon, merging with oneself to become a Heavenly Demon!

At this moment, Xu Hei no longer had any emotions. Human feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, compassion, hatred, benevolence, and so on, all vanished.

To achieve his goal, he would stop at nothing, without any constraints!

He abandoned the human part of himself.

”Kill!”

Xu Hei’s figure flashed, rushing towards the most densely populated residential area. The Star-Moon Nine Transformations unfolded, countless sword lights slashing towards the residential area, targeting the affiliated sects of the Tianhen Sword Sect.

”Stop!!”

Mo Yun’s face changed dramatically, raising his hand to point forward, invisible sword beams intercepting most of Xu Hei’s attacks.

At this moment, Spirit-Eating Ants flew out from the Spirit Beast Ring, thousands upon thousands, forming storms that spread out, attacking the innocent people.

”Not good, it’s Spirit-Eating Ants!”

”Run!”

”Ah!!”

As soon as the Spirit-Eating Ants appeared, they were like tigers among sheep. This group of Core Formation stage, and even mostly Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, how could they resist? In the blink of an eye, many were dead, their bodies gnawed to the bone.

However, at the same time, the Tianhen Sword Formation activated, countless sword lights sweeping away a swath of Spirit-Eating Ants.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Hei turned around and thrust a sword towards Mo Yun in the sky, the sword light teleportation technique bringing it instantly to his front.

”Slash!”

Blood sprayed, Mo Yun’s arm and half his body were severed in one strike, blood splattering across the sky.

In his effort to save the residents of the Tianhen Sword Sect, he had no time to defend himself, allowing Xu Hei to successfully ambush him!

This was the way to break the sword formation!

”You demon!”

Mo Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes full of grief and anger, forced to redirect the formation to fully defend against Xu Hei’s attack.

Xu Hei remained expressionless, having no intention of engaging him directly. His figure flashed, turning towards the city’s commercial district.

Upon arrival, he released the Ghostface Stone Spiders, and with a Dragon Shatter Roar, blasted the cultivators within the commercial district.

”Boom boom boom...”

A series of explosions, the cultivators here died like firecrackers, blood streaming from their orifices, roared to death.

”Hahaha!” Xu Hei pointed at the dead cultivators, suddenly bursting into maniacal laughter, ”They died like dogs! Hahaha!”
