Serpent Ancestor

"Roar!!"

Bai Qiushui let out a beast-like roar, striding forward with each step causing the earth to tremble and the heavens to quake, like an earthquake erupting or a tsunami boiling, his momentum was earth-shattering, like a mountain of muscle on the move.

A flicker of disdain passed through the eyes of the illusory figure, just as a massive fist swung towards him!

"Boom!!"

The force surged forward, aimed at his face, and though his form was an ethereal avatar composed purely of divine sense, he felt a twinge of pain!

"Words become law, the power of rules, this scholar's strength is indeed extraordinary."

The illusory figure's gaze darkened, saying, "But it's still not enough!"

His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a vast lake, and that fist, when it struck the lake, sank in like it had hit cotton, the force only creating a shallow dent.

But in the next moment, countless divine sense needles shot out from the lake, raining down like a storm, piercing Bai Qiushui's skin.

Needle after needle embedded themselves, dimming the golden glow of Bai Qiushui's skin. He swung his fist again, unleashing dozens of punches in an instant, pounding the lake with continuous booming sounds, shaking the heavens and earth.

"The wise delight in water, the benevolent delight in mountains!"

Bai Qiushui roared to the sky, his fists like a storm, striking the same dent repeatedly, each punch capable of splitting mountains and parting seas.

From within the lake came muffled groans, the dent growing larger and deeper, while Bai Qiushui's golden light grew dimmer.

"This is trading injury for injury!"

Xu Hei was secretly shocked.

As a body cultivator, Bai Qiushui should have been completely suppressed by divine sense attacks, yet each of his punches and kicks seemed to be imbued with a special rule power.

This was the scholar's Elemental Infant realm, able to use the physical body to injure divine sense!

However, there was still a gap in combat power between the two sides, and this alone was not enough to bridge it.

Xu Hei decided not to hold back any longer. He summoned the ancient Soul Burning Lamp, and upon lighting it, flames surged forth, transforming into an illusory giant dragon, burning towards the divine sense lake.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

The flame dragon plunged into the lake, emitting sizzling sounds and wisps of smoke. Seizing this opportunity, Bai Qiushui struck the dent with his fist once more.

"Just in time, when three walk together, one can be my teacher!"

Bai Qiushui shouted loudly, the force of his fist surging again, a faint outline of the character "benevolence" appearing on his chest, and in an instant, the dent was pierced through.

With him present, the combat power of the trio was equivalent to an army!

"Boom!!"

The force surged and churned, shattering the lake into fragments, dispersing into a fine rain, utterly defeated.

"A bunch of rats, thinking they can thwart my grand plan, delusional!"

The dispersed lake flew into the sky, transforming into a canopy that covered the heavens, instantly dimming the world and extinguishing all light.

Even the soul light from the Soul Burning Lamp began to fade.

"Hehehe..."

Eerie and sinister voices echoed from all directions, reverberating in everyone's ears, like ghosts and demons, with green eyes appearing in the darkness.

"Indeed, a ghost cultivator!"

Xu Hei's heart sank.

He had long anticipated such an opponent, and now the adversary could no longer hide.

At this moment, the resentment on the island was rising at a terrifying speed, almost becoming tangible, with a faint crimson floating in the air.

These crimsons were converging from all directions, rapidly coalescing in the sky into a single point.

Xu Hei's sense of crisis grew stronger, as if some terrifying creature was about to descend!

Bai Qiushui took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within him, which calmed his mood considerably.

All fear stems from a lack of firepower.

As long as his power was strong enough, he had nothing to fear.

"Thank you for your assistance earlier, fellow Daoist!" Bai Qiushui cupped his fists in gratitude.

Lin Ziye said, "It's an acquaintance, someone we've both met."

"Oh?"

Bai Qiushui was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, Xu Hei no longer hid, revealing himself from underground, and Lin Ziye immediately recognized him as the butcher's true form.

After a moment of surprise, Xu Hei reminded, "Ma Teng."

"So it's you!"

Hearing this name, Bai Qiushui suddenly understood.

No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity; it was the person who used the Thunder Tribulation Pearl at the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

"It was him who killed Ma Fugui in the oil well," Lin Ziye added.

Bai Qiushui nodded.

But now was not the time for reminiscing, as the resentment ahead had reached its peak, continuously coalescing in the air into a mass of crimson flesh.

At this moment, the flesh was still expanding, with countless green wandering souls flying into it, making it larger and more filled with resentment, almost unbearable to look at.

Any low-level cultivator who stayed here for even a second would face mental collapse and death.

"What kind of monster is being summoned?" Lin Ziye said in a deep voice.

Xu Hei released the Soul Burning Lamp, sending it towards the blood-red flesh ball in the sky, but it couldn't get close, extinguished by the surging resentment.

"I understand now!"

Xu Hei took a deep breath, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This is a Ghost Infant! The people who died here were used to gather resentment and refine this Ghost Infant!"

"What?" Lin Ziye's face changed drastically.

Xu Hei's expression was unprecedentedly grim.

The method of refining a Ghost Infant was extremely vicious, requiring an unborn fetus, whose soul was extracted at the moment of formation, creating the ultimate resentment of heaven and earth!

The more extracted, the stronger the resentment, and the more terrifying the Ghost Infant!

Why was Xu Hei preparing magical treasures to counter ghost cultivators?

Previously, when he killed Hou Siping in the oil well, there was a Ghost Infant fostered within him, giving Xu Hei an ominous premonition, always on guard against the mastermind behind the Ghost Infant.

To prevent unforeseen events, Xu Hei never engaged in unprepared battles.

And now, the master of the Ghost Infant had finally revealed themselves!

Compared to this Ghost Infant master, other so-called demonic cultivators and evil factions were insignificant, Xu Hei finally understood what true extreme evil was.

This kind of evil made both humans and demonic beasts feel a wave of nausea from the depths of their hearts.

Xu Hei finally realized why there were so many women here! The so-called pirate group was just a smokescreen; refining the Ghost Infant was the ultimate goal!

"This person is guilty of heinous crimes, dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to quell the anger!" Lin Ziye's eyes were cold.

Bai Qiushui's clenched fists trembled.

The scholar had taught him that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith were to be explained normally to normal people.

But for such heinous demonic cultivators, a special explanation was needed!

Benevolence was a technique to tear the enemy in half! Righteousness was the power to hammer a head into a chest!

Throughout his life, the scholar had subdued countless opponents with his might, known for his strength, but he always preferred to reason, only resorting to force against such extremely evil individuals!

"You must be the third protector of the Sea God Sect," Xu Hei said coldly, staring at the sky.

"Hehe, you guessed half right!"

From the meatball in the sky came a sinister voice, and on the surface of the meatball, twisted faces appeared, all of them the deceased Ghost Infants.
