"Wow!"
Suddenly, Liu Dun's skin sprouted scales, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, and he completely lost consciousness. The remaining half of his body rapidly elongated, his spine transforming into a tail that extended outward.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Dun had turned into a giant python.
The python's face still faintly retained Liu Dun's features, but its eyes were devoid of emotion, filled only with a mad killing intent.
"Elder Liu has succumbed to the snake sacrifice!"
Voices of shock echoed around.
Snake Catchers, who cultivate using snakes, have remnants of snake demon pollution within them. Once they lose the suppression of their cultivation, this pollution spreads throughout their body, causing them to transform into snakes, hence the term snake sacrifice.
Only elders with profound cultivation or those deeply polluted might experience a snake sacrifice.
"Hiss!"
Liu Dun opened his massive mouth, his venomous fangs lunging at Xu Hei, his body coiling around him. Xu Hei's dragon scales bristled, instantly piercing Liu Dun with countless wounds.
"Die!"
Xu Hei thrust his head forward, his horn piercing through Liu Dun's skull, creating a large hole. Liu Dun let out a shrill scream as he plumted from the sky, crashing to the ground.
"Mid-stage Core Formation, truly not easy to deal with..."
Xu Hei thought to himself. At the sa ti, countless snake-shaped flying swords shot towards him from the sky, clashing against his dragon scales with a clanging sound.
Simultaneously, a large number of snake shadows surged out like raindrops, completely enveloping Xu Hei.
The remaining two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, Yin Mingzi and Red Fang, quickly adjusted and launched a fierce attack on Xu Hei.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The snake shadows exploded around Xu Hei, releasing a large cloud of black mist that could obscure divine sense and corrode flesh. These were talismans refined using venomous snakes.
Gradually, the other cultivators also adjusted, imdiately forming a battle formation to launch an offensive against Xu Hei.
One magical treasure after another was thrown out, and various spells to counter snake demons were continuously unleashed.
Xu Hei imdiately summoned the Black Dragon Pagoda, placing it in front of him to block all attacks. The pagoda shook violently, and Xu Hei was blasted backward.
"Everyone, don't hold back! Use whatever trump cards you have! Can our Snake Catchers Sect not handle a single snake?"
"Even a flood dragon must be brought down!"
Yin Mingzi shouted, and the morale of the crowd was imdiately boosted.
One must admit, the Snake Catchers Sect, with its countless years of inheritance, indeed had so ans.
Initially caught off guard by the formation, losing two people and one to a snake sacrifice, Xu Hei had taken them by surprise. But soon, they adjusted.
"Dragon Binding Rope!"
"Eight Extres Thunder Seal!"
"Yellow Springs Swamp!"
Another round of spells descended upon Xu Hei, trapping him in the Yellow Springs, striking him with thunder, and binding him with the Dragon Binding Rope. Even with his physical body, he suffered significant injuries.
Especially those two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, each strike brought imnse pressure to Xu Hei.
"Ever-changing Fish and Dragon!"
Xu Hei unleashed his full speed, his form turning into countless afterimages as he charged forward. But the light ahead suddenly twisted, causing Xu Hei to lose his sense of direction and miss his target.
In the air, illusions of the Yellow River appeared, greatly disrupting his vision.
This was a magical treasure specifically targeting movent techniques, the Nine Bends Yellow River.
"Thud!"
Suddenly, a massive seal slamd into Xu Hei's back with trendous force, causing him to spit blood and stumble forward, taking another heavy blow.
Xu Hei glanced back, spotting the assailant hidden among the Foundation Establishnt cultivators. It seed to be a woman, with a sinister smile on her lips.
"The Thirteenth Ancestor?"
Xu Hei instantly realized that a Foundation Establishnt cultivator couldn't possibly harm him. It could only be the Thirteenth Ancestor who had snatched the woman's body.
"Keep attacking! Don't give him a chance to breathe!"
"Don't stop!!!"
The next second, a new wave of attacks descended. The opponents tid it perfectly, the remaining seven taking turns to attack, not giving Xu Hei a mont's respite.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Heavenly thunder and earthly fire, the ground shook and mountains trembled. The mountain Xu Hei stood on was blasted open, creating a thousand-foot abyss. The destructive power of Core Formation cultivators was enough to shake a mountain.
"Mountain Severing Abyss!"
Xu Hei shouted, and the mountain beneath him rose, forming a massive serpentine mountain range that charged towards the crowd.
This giant serpent was several tis larger than any Xu Hei had previously summoned, blocking out the sky like a prehistoric beast!
However, the opponents had already calculated for this move.
"Earth Dissolution Technique!"
Elder Bing clapped his hands on the ground, and the mountain serpent's body collapsed, disintegrating into rubble that fell like rain.
Xu Hei then used Falling Stars and Mountain Embrace Seal, but all were easily countered.
Every spell and technique Xu Hei had used before had been anticipated by the opponents, who had prepared counterasures.
Even every magical treasure and talisman he had used, including the Small Teleportation Talisman, had been guarded against in advance, everything calculated to the last detail.
The only thing that exceeded their calculations was the initial formation, which caught the Snake Catchers Sect off guard.
But the subsequent developnts were all within the sect's control.
"Give up struggling, today you will surely die!" Yin Mingzi shouted.
"I know you still have a puppet, the Zhou Family ancestor's Blood Killing Sword, Blood God Armor, Soul-absorbing Flag, and Xu Qingfeng's Ten Thousand Word Heavenly Book, but they're all useless!"
"Xu the Butcher, you've been seen through! You're at the end of your rope!"
The crowd continued their verbal assault while relentlessly casting spells.
tal, earth, wood, all Five Elental spells were used, anything that could counter snake demons.
Xu Hei didn't know how many attacks he had endured. Even with dragon scales protecting him and a strong physique, it was hard to withstand so many assaults.
In a one-on-one fight, Xu Hei could easily defeat any of them, killing one in two breaths.
But together, they produced an effect greater than the sum of their parts.
These elders were no longer the riffraff of Myriad Serpent Valley; they were the core elder group of the Snake Catchers Sect! A total of ten, each having lived for over a hundred years, experienced and coordinated, having rehearsed countless tis against Xu Hei.
Any one of them could rival the likes of Xuan Yangzi, each a renowned expert in their own right.
At this mont, the entire sect joined forces against Xu Hei, holding nothing back, giving him the utmost attention!
"Almost, almost!"
Xu Hei continued to endure the attacks, his flesh splitting, his internal organs severely injured. But as the attacks continued, the True Qi within him was being compressed.
In a daze, he returned to the martial arts school in Wuyou City.
Mr. Bai, holding a stick, beat him black and blue, day after day of severe injuries, forging Xu Hei's spirit and will to be harder than steel.
In his mind, he saw Bai Qiushui falling again and again, only to rise each ti.
"The more you get beaten, the stronger you beco. So this is the essence of the Diamond Suppression Technique!"
Gradually, Xu Hei's skin began to emit a golden light, producing a tallic clang, a sign of True Essence being refined to the extre.
Yin Mingzi, holding a black snake sword, pointed it forward.
The snake sword flew out, instantly striking Xu Hei's vital point, blood bursting forth as Xu Hei plumted from the sky, creating a snake-shaped crater on the ground.
"No matter what tricks you have, today, not even the gods can save you!"
Yin Mingzi didn't dare approach recklessly. He raised his hand, and the black snake sword shot out again, aiming to decapitate Xu Hei, refusing to stop until his head was severed!
The others' attacks continued unabated, determined not to stop until Xu Hei was reduced to pulp.
"Heh, the outco is decided. This snake has no strength left to struggle, not even a sound."
Xu Qingzhi sneered coldly.
The inner demon in front of him also sneered, slashing at him with a blade, forcing Xu Qingzhi to parry.
But just as Xu Qingzhi finished speaking.
"Roar!!!"
A resounding dragon roar echoed through the heavens and earth, spanning a thousand miles, directly targeting Elder Bing, Xu Hei's long-prepared killing move, Dragon Shatter Roar!
This wasn't a traditional spell but a dragon clan's ultimate technique!
When True Essence is compressed to the extre, the power of Dragon Shatter Roar skyrockets, a perfect fusion of physical body and spell.
This strike pierced the sky!
"Boom!!"
Elder Bing, thirty miles away, didn't even have ti to grunt before his body exploded, turning into fragnts that rained down from the sky.
After obliterating one, Dragon Shatter Roar spread out from the center, instantly severely injuring the two nearby. Their eyes burst, blood flowed from their orifices, and their magical treasures exploded one by one.
Everything happened too quickly. The others were still in a daze when one was dead, and two were severely injured.
"I wonder if you anticipated this strike!"
Xu Hei climbed out of the pit, his body now radiating golden True Essence, coating his skin. This compressed True Essence elevated his physical strength to the extre.
"This is..."
Yin Mingzi's pupils contracted to a point.
Xu Qingzhi also showed a look of horror, a storm raging in his heart, unable to believe his eyes.
"This is the Diamond Suppression Technique? How is it possible? Besides that Qin Kingdom God of Slaughter, how could anyone else have learned it?" Xu Qingzhi was shocked beyond asure.
Even more astonishing was that Xu Hei's cultivation technique seed more orthodox and purer than that of the God of Slaughter.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Hei vanished on the spot, without a sound of breaking wind. The next second, Xu Hei was right in front of them, his speed ten tis faster than before!
From a distance, Xu Hei thrust his horn forward, the compressed True Essence within him pouring out madly through it!
"Boom!!"
A thunderous sound echoed, as if the void itself was being pierced.
Despite the distortion of light, the entire space ahead was covered by this strike.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Terrifying shockwaves soared into the sky, sweeping across the heavens, shattering clouds, collapsing the earth, and disintegrating mountains. Xu Hei's strike from afar created a scene of apocalyptic destruction.
Elder Ding and Elder Wu in front were instantly obliterated by the horn, not even knowing how they died.
The remaining Yin Mingzi and Red Fang spat blood, their faces pale as they were blown away, their inner terror beyond words.
Legends spoke of those whose physical bodies had reached sainthood, capable of breaking the void with a punch, shattering the heavens with a kick.
No need for spells, their physical body was the strongest spell!
However, such powerful beings existed only in ancient legends. In later generations, body cultivators had long vanished.
Though Xu Hei hadn't reached such an exaggerated level, Xu Qingzhi sensed a hint of that potential.
