Serpent Ancestor

He had only discovered Oli in the shadows and wanted to force him to reveal himself. Who would have thought that he would end up startling the Chi family members instead?

Yan Feng was completely unprepared for the Chi family to have so many people ambushed nearby.

”Yan Feng, since you’ve discovered us and still walked into our trap, you must have something to rely on, right? Otherwise, who gave you the courage to court death?” said the late-stage Divine Transformation leader.

Everyone in the Yan family convoy looked at Yan Feng, waiting for his response.

However, what did Yan Feng have to rely on?

He hadn’t even noticed the ambush, for goodness’ sake!

Yan Feng’s face remained unchanged, but his heart sank to the bottom.

Oli was equally bewildered. Chi Lian, a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, was one of the Chi family’s two top experts. When did he appear? During the previous robbery of the Oli family convoy, Chi Lian had never shown up.

With such a terrifying lineup, even if Xu Hei stepped in, victory wasn’t guaranteed.

Yan Feng shouted toward Oli’s direction, ”Oli, come out already! Why are you hiding?”Oli’s face stiffened. Seeing that the other party had locked onto him, he had no choice but to brace himself and crawl out from the crevice.

Seeing Oli, the Chi family members exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

”Haha, who did I think it was? Turns out it’s the Oli family’s stray dog!”

”The Oli family convoy was just looted by us, half of them dead. Instead of going back to heal, you’re rushing to die.”

”Yan Feng, is this the helper you brought?”

Everyone laughed uncontrollably, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Yan Feng also noticed that Oli’s aura was weak, his body dim, clearly in a half-crippled state.

In such a condition, how could he still fight?

At this moment, Chi Lian suddenly thought of something. He stared at Oli and asked, ”Oli, where’s Chi Hua?”

He had heard that Chi Hua went to hunt down this person, yet Chi Hua hadn’t returned, and Oli appeared instead.

Something was off!

”You guess!” Oli replied.

”Not talking?”

Chi Lian’s gaze turned cold.

He didn’t believe Chi Hua had been taken down. Currently, the strongest ancestor of the Oli family, Ao De, had been severely injured by the Chi family clan leader three days ago. It would take at least a year and a half for him to recover.

With Chi Hua’s skills, even if he encountered a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, he might not win, but he could retreat unscathed.

”Not talking, huh? Fine, since Chi Hua couldn’t take you down, I’ll personally do it and kill you!”

Chi Lian waved his hand, and five mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivators quickly spread out, surrounding the convoy and Oli.

”Sky Prison Formation!”

The five of them clapped their palms together and pressed them onto the ground. Instantly, the world turned upside down, and a thick earthen wall rose from the ground, trapping everyone inside. The ground beneath the convoy sank as if into a swamp, turning mountains into basins and soil into marshes.

”Quick, get out of here, don’t get trapped!” Yan Feng shouted.

”Heh, too late!”

Chi Lian sneered, tossing a black sphere into the center of the basin, which exploded with a terrifying suction force, pulling everyone toward the center.

In an instant, the earthen walls rose into the sky, connecting at a point with the heavens, trapping everyone in a sealed earthen prison, spanning tens of thousands of feet.

Xu Hei’s hiding spot was right at the edge of the earthen prison.

”Damn, it’s a formation!”

Everyone’s faces changed dramatically, as if they had seen a ghost.

The Yan family cultivators were decisive. One of them directly separated his head from his body, half of his body exploding at the edge of the earthen prison, causing a thunderous roar.

But the energy waves from the explosion were quickly absorbed by the black point at the center, taking away most of the energy, leaving only a not-too-large pit, which was soon filled by a thick wall.

Escape failed.

”How is this possible?” Yan Feng exclaimed in shock.

”Heh, this formation was specifically prepared for your Yan family. Even if you use your proud technique of self-detonation, it’s useless!” Chi Lian laughed.

Despair filled everyone’s hearts.

The reason no one dared to provoke the Yan family was their mastery of earth explosion techniques, often taking someone down with them even in death. But now, their divine abilities were countered. The enemy was clearly prepared.

”Self-detonation, Sky Prison Formation...”

Xu Hei’s expression was peculiar.

Such techniques, known to every cultivator in the outside world, were like rare secrets here. Learning just one could give you an overwhelming advantage.

It’s like a group of primitives!

However, this Sky Prison Formation indeed had some tricks, concentrating the gravity of the Dark Star at the center point, absorbing energy and imprisoning all beings.

In a world full of primitives, suddenly encountering an advanced formation could indeed have a devastating effect.

”Today, none of you will escape!”

Chi Lian waved his hand, and countless sharp red crystals shot toward the Yan family members.

The Yan family cultivators displayed high combat skills, their bodies floating as if losing gravity, flickering left and right, almost like teleportation.

But under such dense attacks, trapped in a cage, it wasn’t long before someone was hit.

”Ah!”

A Yan family cultivator was struck in the chest, the hit area spreading blood-red lines like a web of blood vessels across his body. His life force was slowly drained, and soon he lost all strength, collapsing to the ground.

”What kind of magical treasure is this?” Yan Feng’s face changed dramatically.

Chi Lian didn’t answer, only continued to throw red crystals, shooting them toward everyone.

”Xu Hei, there’s a master behind the Chi family guiding them. The Yan family might not hold out for long. What do you plan to do?” Old Tree transmitted his voice.

Xu Hei hesitated.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to act.

Although he was confident he could deal with this group, if the master behind the Chi family appeared, whether Xu Hei could also take that person down was uncertain.

This uncertainty made Xu Hei very hesitant.

”With my current cultivation, even if I’m truly outmatched, I can still protect myself.”

”I’m already at the peak of mid-stage Divine Transformation. After performing the three-phase fusion, I can directly reach late-stage Divine Transformation. I refuse to believe there’s anyone in this mortal realm who can threaten my life.”

Xu Hei’s eyes flashed as he released three thousand Black Needle Ants hidden in his storage bag.

Then, he swallowed a Spirit Transformation Powder, a pill essential for prolonged battles, allowing him to continuously restore his spiritual power in a short time.

”Let’s give you a surprise first!”

In Xu Hei’s palms, the power of laws quickly condensed, and in an instant, two black spheres of light appeared in his hands, the Death Meteors.

”Boom!!”

At this moment, two Yan family cultivators could no longer endure and self-detonated, blasting Chi Lian away. Although most of the energy was absorbed, it still blew off a small part of Chi Lian’s body.

”Now’s the time!”

Xu Hei released the Black Needle Ants, which drilled out from the ground, three thousand needles firing simultaneously at the remaining five people.

At the same time, Xu Hei’s figure flickered, rushing out at the fastest speed, pressing toward Chi Lian’s forehead.

”I finally lured you out.”

Chi Lian appeared panicked on the surface, but inwardly he was sneering.
