Serpent Ancestor

"Xiao Chou, pity yourself a bit and come sit with me?" A female cultivator teased deliberately.

Xiao Chou ignored her.

"Ungrateful! Deserves to be a turtle for life," the female cultivator cursed.

"Such a lowly nature!"

"Hahaha, my stomach hurts from laughing. How can there be such a person?"

"Xiao Chou, Hua Yuntian is out of strength, go in and give him a push!"

Piercing laughter came from all around, and some even came specifically to watch the spectacle. There are always onlookers wherever you go.

Xiao Chou's face gradually twisted. Finally, he unclenched his fists, seemingly making up his mind to leave forever and never return.

Xu Hei witnessed all this and suddenly had an idea.

"Cause a bit of a commotion? Isn't this the perfect timing?"

Xu Hei used the Earth Escape Technique to silently burrow beneath the pavilion.

Whether intentional or not, the pavilion had no Restrictions set up, allowing sound to travel freely. This made it easy for Xu Hei to enter.

He didn't spread out his Divine Sense but used his snake-like sense to detect the positions of the two people's auras.

"One is at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, the other has just reached Foundation Establishment. The former should be the female cultivator, and the latter is Hua Yuntian, who hasn't fully recovered yet!"

As Xu Hei approached, he tore off a black-gold scale and placed it directly below the two, controlling it with the Gravity Technique.

"The floor of this pavilion is too sturdy. Even if the Earth Spike could pierce through, it would alert them, and there's a high chance it could be dodged. Plus, it would make too much noise."

"I'll use this trick!"

This trick, using the Gravity Technique to control the scale as a hidden weapon, was something Xu Hei had tested before.

The advantage was its speed and concealment, making it very suitable for assassination.

The disadvantage was its short range. The further the distance, the weaker the power of his Gravity Technique. Only within ten meters could the lethality be maximized.

At this moment, Xu Hei was exactly ten meters underground.

"Kill!"

With a thought, the scale shot upward, directly targeting the two above.

In truth, his main target was the female cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. He had no confidence in dealing with Hua Yuntian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This person had too many life-saving cards. If Xu Hei went all out, he might have a chance, but sneaking in like this, it was almost impossible to kill him.

"Thud!"

The sturdy ground was instantly pierced, leaving a small crack. The black shadow shot through the bedboard in an instant.

"There's..."

Hua Yuntian's face changed slightly. He reacted extremely quickly, retreating to the side the moment the black-gold scale was activated.

In the next second, a black shadow flew past his body, and his protective spirit jade automatically activated, blocking the attack.

The other person wasn't so lucky. Silver Bell dodged the vital point at the first moment but had an arm cut off by the scale, letting out a sharp scream.

But the next second, the scream abruptly stopped as the scale pierced through her forehead and retracted back underground.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, less than half a breath, and it was all over.

Hua Yuntian stared blankly at the scene before him, his eyes wide open, a storm raging in his heart.

Fear, shock, anger... various emotions filled his chest, making it hard to breathe.

"Bell!"

The first to exclaim wasn't him but Xiao Chou, who was about to leave the pavilion.

The moment he heard Silver Bell's scream, he broke through the door and rushed in, his face filled with panic.

That scream, filled with anguish and fear, was something only heard at the brink of life and death. He couldn't be mistaken.

The moment he rushed in, he saw Silver Bell's forehead bleeding, dead on the bed.

In an instant, Xiao Chou felt as if the sky had collapsed, his mind blank.

But immediately, his eyes bulged with extreme anger, staring fiercely at Hua Yuntian.

"You! It was you!"

The furious roar also snapped Hua Yuntian back to reality.

Seeing the raging Xiao Chou, Hua Yuntian instinctively shivered. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he felt a hint of panic facing this Qi Refining disciple.

"Don't misunderstand, she was ambushed..."

Before Hua Yuntian could finish his sentence.

Xiao Chou roared, drew his Flying Sword, and charged.

"It was you, you killed her, why??!"

"Xiao Chou, calm down..."

"Die!"

Inside the pavilion, a fierce battle erupted, causing the building to collapse instantly, dust flying, bricks scattering.

One has to admit, when an honest person gets angry, the power is truly astonishing.

At the same time, Xu Hei, having retrieved the scale, quickly left, escaping far away.

"Did I overdo it?"

Listening to the commotion behind him, Xu Hei muttered to himself.

Before long, a powerful aura flashed by in the distance, one of the Foundation Establishment elders who had been in the pill refining room.

Soon after, Hei Huang's voice came through the communication talisman.

"It's done, come quickly and move the stuff."

Xu Hei was delighted and quickly rushed to the pill refining room.

At this moment, inside the largest pill refining room.

A large number of disciples lay unconscious on the ground, their Storage Bags taken. The Foundation Establishment elder, for some reason, was locked inside the pill furnace, angrily pounding from within, causing it to shake continuously.

"You bastard, let me out, face me if you dare!"

The Foundation Establishment elder roared, his voice echoing inside the furnace.

Hei Huang ignored him, his paws moving like lightning, stuffing bottles of pills from the table into his Storage Bag, leaving afterimages.

Xu Hei emerged from the ground, activated the Gravity Technique, and collected all the pills in the room into his Storage Bag.

A box emitted a medicinal fragrance. Xu Hei used a scale to open the lock and took all the herbs inside.

These herbs looked top-grade, possibly even materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

"We've struck it rich, hahaha!"

Even someone like Xu Hei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You little beast, I will kill you! Let me out if you dare!"

Xu Hei glanced at the shaking pill furnace and shot a Fire Snake Technique at it, adding more fire. Instantly, the angry voice grew even louder.

"Old dog, how did you get her in there?" Xu Hei asked curiously.

"Hey, don't blame me, she crawled in herself," Hei Huang quickly defended.

"Crack, crack!"

As they spoke, the pill furnace suddenly showed cracks, about to explode. The Foundation Establishment elder was about to break out.

"Damn, let's go!"

Xu Hei hurriedly collected the boxes on the ground, not even opening them, stuffing them into his Storage Bag, and escaped underground.

"What's the rush?"

Hei Huang glanced at the cracking pill furnace, took out an even larger furnace, waved his hand, and put the cracking furnace inside, sealed it, and then leisurely left.

"Ahhh! You bastards, I won't spare you!!!"

The furious roar echoed endlessly.
